LE Questmod Request: Maven Blackbriar.

[chillshock]

I'd love to see a mod for a quest that takes place after Riften has reached a certain state:

 

Prerequisites:

- Thieves Guild Questchain ended.

- DB Questchain ended.

- Civil War Faction chosen.

- No more quests concerning her unfinished.

 

As soon as these are all completed and Maven is either Jarl or not:

If Stormcloaks win: The Jarl of Riften orders you to get X pieces of evidence that are sufficient to bring Maven, and potentially more of the family to justice. (Execution for maven, exile for the rest of the bunch): Pickpocket evidence from some, break and aquire from smuggler-harbor, meadery, ... bribe prostitute to get it from one of the sons... And - this would be a nice little twist: Buy / convince one of the thieves guild members to give you one of the evidences.

 

You then take the Evidence to the Jarl and get some "Unbelievable! Riften will finally be free! Guards! Go an arrest ALL of the Black-Briars!"

 

If the Imperials win and Maven is Jarl (this I hate!):

- 1 Imperial High-Commander and his two guards in the Inn will give the tasks to the Dragonborn. That Imperial commander will, once the Anti-Black-Briars proof is delivered then take over as "Acting Jarl" in Riften for the time being.

 

Both sides: After all this the Quest giver will tell the player to take a letter to the thief who gave that one important evidence: An offer of pardon IF the thieves guild agrees to be considered a kind of secret service from now on. They are pretty free to do what they seem fit, but they are not allowed to disrupt public safety, make their existance known to the public or disrupt official operations. Failure to comply will result in death warrants. Also a nice reward if offered for any evidence brought forth on other criminal activities that need to be taken care of: Skooma trade, illegal alchemy labs or even necromancy, ... yadda yadda... :wink:

 

Result:

A Black-Briar free Riften and a kind of restored sense of Justice to the player.

 

Since the quest it purely optional, the BB-Lovers (really, anyone like her?) and full-time-thieves can just turn it down with an "I looked, but found no evidence"-Option after a week of ingame time, or so. :wink:

What you need to be capable off:

- Adding NPC

- Scripting,

- Quests and all that

- Placing items

- Dialogues

 

What you actually don't need to do is creating any new Meshes or textures or graphics or shaders, afaik. Unless "letters" need to be created as unique graphics each (maybe there are ways around written word, and just use dialogues with messengers or such instead). I wouldn't even voice-act any of this before the basic concept proves itself functioning.

Yes, I know there is a bunch of crud to do and know and research (quests... creation kit, ...), but I'm rather confident that this mod would be loved by many MANY players and would actually motivate lots of people to finish all the quests. While still keeping it "lore friendly", I'd say.

 

Thanks for reading all this. Even more thanks if any of you modder-experts actually do this. :D
