Hi everyone,

I was wondering how to release this teaser on what I am developing for this mod, I was going to do this as a post but then decided to write it out as an article. This way we can jump into what will come next for the mod's development and I could be as descriptive as I want. The article will speak about what will be released (in the plans) leading up to the next big released which will be the Second Story Arc; Truths.

Here we go,

The last couple of updates contained some skeletons for what is to come without leaving a way in game to access these things. Example Rekkr Island was released but since that is part of the new world and is no where near completion I didn't put in a normal way to get there yet. These small touches that I have been working on has pushed the development of the mod further, however since I am a "one man army" and I have so many things I want to do for my world I split my time by adding some features here and some features there and planning the rest of the time. Each feature I add brings me closer to the actual world that is still in its planning stages as I am trying to lay everything out while building some parts of the mod everyday. So my time is split between Planning and Building, here are my plans for the near future to a little further ahead into the future for this mod:

1- Obviously The Americas has to be built, at the moment; the map is in planning with a skeleton of the boarder actually in game (Rekkr Island). I plan to have a boarder crossing as well as some "penalty" for crossing to make sure you return to your own country afterwards (Tamriel). At the moment I have planed that the player will have to give boarder control a piece of gear that allows them entrance, the thought process behind this is that the player has to return to his country and what better motivator than taking something away from him until he returns back to Tamriel. If the player gets a citizenship to The Americas then he won't have much trouble crossing the boarder.

Some backstory of The Americas:

The Americas is a country outside of Tamriel to the West, it was hinted at; very vaguely; by Argent Stryker if the player followed the first dialogue tree. It is a country ruled by technology, this technology was invented by the Dwarves and then mass produced by the people of the country. The rich people will be wearing some modern outfits and the middle to poor citizens will wear a mix between the Skyrim outfits among other things.

The Americas is planned to be a little more advanced than Skyrim, however they both are part of the same time period and therefore will both have similar building structures. Except the poorer areas of The Americas will feature more torn down buildings than the richer towns. I don't want to say too much more as this is only a teaser on my future plans for the new world.

2- A little closer in development is a player home in Skyrim, It will feature a quest to get it and unlock more abilities for your wolverine character (powers that go along with the claws). This will be a side quest.

I will not release information about the type of missions the player will face in The Americas yet, but I will say this:

In total there are plans for three story arcs:

1- Origins: which is already released. It is a really short introductory arc which took place in two missions to unlock the Adamantium Claws and give small teasers on what is to come in the form of vague dialogue and certain attitudes.

2- Truths: The second arc which is in development. This arc will take place mostly in The Americas and will be centered around discovering the secrets to The X Gene and discovering what this mysterious X (You will meet X in the form of a book first) is doing.

3- Protector/Destructor: This is not laid in stone yet, but the story for this arc I have decided so far is going to depend on the player. The people with the activated X-Genes are going to want their own government and the normal people want everyone under one law (and might hate X-Gene people). This will cause a war to erupt as a war between countries is going on (Tamriel and The Americas). Two wars run at the same time, one between species and another between countries. And the player will have to choose, Destroy everything and come out as the superior species or find a way to bring peace to both wars without totally annihilating everything (might change story arc at a later date).

That is all the information I will release as of now, hope this gives you a glimpse as to what is to come in the future.

Thank You for the support,
Jet.
