LEBO LoreWorthy Enemies and Bandits Overhaul (Project)

PS.: i'm starting this ideia out of the paper, nothing big yet. but plan to make an alternative to OBIS.

 

One ideia that i didn't see done yet, is a mod aimed to make vanilla bandits, chief, and so on more unique, having better abilities, a new improved look to bosses, to make it apart from the commom ones, a unique variety for some unique quests. (Dawnguard, Dragonborn)

 

Imagine a mod that mixes ideias from Legendary Bandits, concept design (Or at least something similar) and so on. There is something that has always bothered me in all my experience by playing Skyrim, meanwhile many mods reduced this problem, it was still a issue until it became tangible with works like Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul and RDO relationship Dialogue Overhaul. that revitalize vanilla NPC. and make them not feel so much like robots.

For now, there are mods as engaging as Beast of Tamriel, Revenge of the Enemies, Immersive creatures and OBIS (and others, the two cited being the most know, the last cited, the only that focus on bandits unless someone corrects me) that offer more diversty to the game, but no change on how the vanilla enemy behaves, its own nature, it's strategy and how it interacts with it's own universe,(I don't mean Combat or emeny IA) it's like they are just bandits who are there just for being, they do not have classes/hierachy nor unique durties (having the Eyersee, the Keeper, The chief Right hand, Bundler, etc.) than just bandit, bandit chief.

The game itself offer so many points/plots that can give immersion to vanilla, like the war/conflict, the world it's in risk, and Tamriel, you know, is not a place full of rainbows and flowers, where everyone can live forever happly after. that it would take a long time to list all the possiblities. :laugh:

 

but now returning to the main point.:

Has you even, been playing, and felt, sometimes like rambo, by just passing trought wanever was on the way, and saw a camp, like you was just killing zombies and Clones? not criminals, a cult, or a gang or whanever?

so yeah, the point of the Project is mainly that.

 

reimagining the origins of the vanilla enemies, what they do, and how they relate to the world. in some ways, some imoral things should be taken in acount, like age, class, race and gender.

Bandits can have a lot of classes based on location and organization, instead of being just placed by the player level.

Some are maded for lower criminals who are just making a living without trying to raise to much attention, to places where people fear and simple avoid by having the local settlement to pay a bit to keep them in peace.

It's purpose and time invested also determinate the level of dificculty and not just to have a 16 Teen Thief as the same level of a 48 Exiled Baron Dealer.

The basic goal, is to make a enemy title mean more than it's level. but it's nature, location and background where they will be found.

What it's the main goal?

-No potato face Bandits

-No clones/+300 new Bandtis

-Bandits titles mean more than level, but it's location/crime/style

-Levelist is less linear and more organic

-New Bandits Ranks and titles

-Victims and Neutral/Gray Enemies

-Especial Bandits and Encounters

-Reworked/Expanded Camps/Forts/Mines

-Bandit Loot/Better progression

 

 

The proposed change is to expand and give meaning to bandits while being split into four natures.:

Each group have a unique trait and will have a unique behavior towards the player. The reason, is to fix some inconsistencies within the world. (Bandits being 3 times bigger than the native citizens) (Criminality and economy inconsistencies. etc)
