BLARGARGY Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) You know how you always have to hunt down Vilkas/Farkas/Aela etc in order to commence a radiant quest for the Companions? Well, I personally enjoy the quests they give out, particularly Vilkas and Skjorr, wherein you must rescue a citizen of Skyrim from some bandit camp/cave. But as with any guild quest, having to initiate the quest gets repetitive really fast. After taking only a couple of quests you quickly get sick of hearing Vilkas say "A citizen of the reach has been kidnapped...", particularly when taking quests one after the other. Also, if any of the Companions die, or if they just stop giving quests, like some of them have in my game, suddenly you're unable to enjoy their relevant quests. My suggestion is that there be an alternate means of initiating these quests. Basically, my idea was to have a static object, like a "quest book" situated somewhere in Jorrvaskr, which you activate in order to initiate a Companion quest. Upon activating the book, a list of the different types of quests available (like search and rescue, animal extermination, etc) come up, and you select which you want to deal with. Alternatively, there can be separate quest books dedicated to a particular quest type, labelled accordingly, which you simply activate to initiate a random quest of that type. I don't know if it's even possible, but I wanted to throw this out there. I doubt the following is feasible either, but perhaps instead of obtaining your reward from the companions, being able to activate the same quest book or some other activator in order to receive your reward would also be great. All this is easily justified in an immersion context by being a log book of quests that have been "written" by the companions that need fulfilling. Obtaining your reward from one of these books would be justified in the sense that you are confirming by "writing" that you have completed your quest and then proceeding to obtain your reward from wherever the Companions store their septims. I've mentioned the Companions exclusively here but only because it's the only guild I've joined (in the ridiculous amount of time I've played Skyrim). I'm assuming the Dark Brotherhood and the College have similar quest structures so this suggestion also goes out to them. If not, then yeah, I'd love if this was just done to the Companions. :smile: I really doubt anyone would be willing to work on this, as I doubt it's even possible, but I figured there's no harm in putting this out there. I'd be immensely appreciative of anyone who could input the time and effort to make this possible, if it is. TL:DR = I'd love an alternate means of initiating Companions quests that involved simply activating a log book found in Jorrvaskr, and once completed, obtaining your reward by activating the same/similar log book.

BLARGARGY Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks Reyzark, I got into contact with the mod author and they said they'd thought of a similar idea - in fact it's much better than my own. They don't have any immediate plans to implement it, but I hope they do eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
