SSE Immersive Delivery Service- A.K.A. The Pony Express for Skyrim-

[orwellswift]

Hello everyone, I am just now beginning to get into modding but have been gaming on PC for over a decade. I have gone through the entire nexus inventory for SE so I am very familiar with what mods are out there to the best of my knowledge at least.

 

As far as I know there is one mod that is related to the courier service and that one simply gives the courier a place to live whilst delivering messages to you with uncanny accuracy. My idea would be to have an interactive and immersive delivery service, not just for messages, but also items as well. Each hold would have its own station or just have one central station which would dispatch riders with important documents or items. As a bonus it would be amazing if you could join the courier service as a faction, as in a neutral party; a.k.a. "don't shoot the messenger". Therefore you would be trusted by all to faithfully not tamper with the mail and to deliver stuff to the right person in a reasonable amount of time.

 

Additional quests could be created to accomodate the service where you have to deliver time sensative material to a specific npc before dire consequences or what have you. Get from point A to point B in a thunderstorm at night in a specified amount of time before fail. This also makes bandits more interactive since you have more to loose than just your own loot.

 

Branching idea would be to have an interactive scribe service associated with the courier so that if you wanted to be a sneaky bastard you could gain skill in opening mail, forging documents, and faking seals. This would enable the player to directly alter documents or create new ones to trick and decieve enemies and people. An example being that you could invite an npc to meet another npc and then set up an ambush for either side or just wipe them out yourself.

 

 

Another immersive idea would be to have travelling supply caravans with armed guards travelling from the ports to random holds and mines. It seems random to me that the economy of skyrim is closely related to the mining of ores, hence the many operational mines, there should be caravans hauling ore to the ports for export.

 

If anybody is in the process of working on something similar to these ideas or would like to work on them please let me know as I am curious to see if others have had the same thoughts and ideas.
