UnluckyElite01 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Skyrim is a rather expansive location, and since its release in 2011 we have seen mods made in every part of Skyrim and its DLC's. One location that I feel has been well and truly over looked is Blackreach. One of the coolest locations, and yet there has not been much done in the way of quest mods. This is my idea in a nut shell. The Dragonborn has recovered the Elder Scroll, but as he ventures onward something calls him back. An ancient presence demanding retribution for what the Falmer have done to this once great city, but to do this the Dragon Born needs help. Assemble a fighting force and take the ancient Dwemer ruin of blackreach. Once the city is yours, then comes the time to rebuild and colonize the underground ruins. Set up shops, establish trade, bring in settlers, exc. This could also include mining the mineral wealth from the stones, and finding the ancient secrets buried in the ruins. Fund the reconstruction project, find experts, build up your power base. Soon you gain the attention of those who want to take Blackreach for their own. The Thalmer, or some other organization. While they can not invade Skyrim directly yet, they wish to use Blackreach as a staging point to build up their forces, harness the magics of Blackreach, and then skyrim. They first come and try to use diplomacy to get you out, but when that fails they choose to starve you out by blocking all enterances and exits to blackreach. How to resolve this could include finding an ancient tunnel/portal that you might have been finding clues to. Maybe even the ancient force that called him to begin with helps him. Once you are out you could then reach out to any allies you might have. Maybe even require you to take over the Guilds in skyrim. The Companions, Mages Guild, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and perhaps which ever faction you sided with in the Dawnguard DLC. Build another force to battle the Talmer and break the blockade. Also the Blackreach Train mod would be interesting to use for this, or as an attachment. I know Skyrim is not as relevant to modders as Fallout 4 is, but I think this DLC sized mod would be fantastic. UPDATE:This could also be a good opportunity to explain that random Dragon contained in the Blackreach sphere.

UnluckyElite01 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Could use the same resources skyrim modder "ld50365" used in making the silverstead mod to help with construction, assuming said modder allowed it. Would also be cool to uncover lost Dwemer technologies. Things like "SpaceWiking" Dwemer Exoskeleton would be interesting. Find blue prints and slowly begin to fund research. Would come in handy if you had a squad of people wearing said armor to break the blockade. There are so many great mods out there that could be useful, and would actually be able to be recovered and used in a way that makes sense. Not just finding some book in a random location, or already having it in your forge options. Edited April 9, 2016 by UnluckyElite01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
