LE Time Travel to Dragon War Main Quest Expansion

[rowbocool]

Hi Users,

The mod I am proposing is quite large so I would be of course extremely grateful if somebody even considered this. I also imagine it would be a very popular mod if completed to a decent standard, however your own ideas always seem the best to yourself.

 

During my first Skyrim playthrough, when you take the elder scroll to the time wound to learn Dragonrend from the "ancient heroes", I excitedly assumed that the player would travel back in time to the midst of the dragon war in a quest to track down the creators of Dragonrend and be taught it from them.

Obviously I was disappointed, and this disappointment has followed me to 2019.

So, here I am requesting a mod that would alter the main quest line to do just that.

 

Here's what I'm thinking;

 

In terms of the setting:

• A lot more dragon encounters with more powerful dragons, and an expanded range of dragon colours and types.
• Dragon encounters with more than one dragon.
• A nigh on apocalyptic setting - Scattered dragon and human corpses, burned buildings, ruins.
• A powerful living dragon priest(s) with a community(ies) that has chosen to keep worshiping dragons.
• The ancient cities of Skyrim 'rebuilt' as they would have been - Saarthal, Bromjunaar etc. However to save the mod becoming gigantic and sparse, only a necessary area of Skyrim should be recreated.
• The majority of characters speaking with the dragon language or using a mix of the two languages (Similar to how Paarthurnax and Odahviing speak).
• The majority of characters being a warrior of some type as most ordinary people would have died due to lack of experience or kept living with the dragon cult.
• Enemies that are capable of shouting.
• Enemies/characters only using Ancient Nord Armour and weapons, Fur Armour, Robes, Dragon Armour and weapons, and rarely Stalhrm. ie not using the modern weapons and armours of Skyrim. Custom weapon and armour sets would be fantastic.
• A pretty much exclusively Nord demographic.
• A 'confused' reaction from characters if the player is not a Nord, similar to how characters react to a naked player.

In terms of the quest:

 

The quest takes you on a journey to help create the Dragonrend shout with the ancient heroes. The quest could end with the player being forced back into the time wound and watching the banishment of Alduin as you normally would. Similar to Skuldafn, there should be no way to return after leaving, and no way to leave until the quest is complete.

 

The player appears on the throat of the world and are immediately attacked by 2 dragons. The player may fight until they kill them or are downed at which point a warrior will come and kill the remaining dragons or congratulate your fighting skill and comment on you being a dragonborn. The player will then ask this warrior about Dragonrend and they will direct you to Felldir the Old. Felldir will tell you his plans and send you to collect dragon bones and scales and three dragon souls in order to create the shout. He will also send you and Gormlaith on a quest to kill the powerful dragon priest in Bromjunaar and collect his mask, and on a quest with Hakon to collect the elderscroll (From a location other than Alftand, potentially guarded by a group of powerful mages). After completing these quests you will all venture up to the throat of the world at which point the player will be forced into the time wound to watch the cut scene.

 

If you like this Idea, great! Make it known (in whatever way is allowed here) that it's not just me that wants this mod.

If you want to create this mod, beautiful. - I would love to help create this mod however, I have zero modding experience so I will leave the creativity in your hands if you wish.

Thanks!

OMG! This sounds absolutely amazing! I would love that. It does sound very difficult to realize though...feels like it could be DLC sized. Still, if at all possible, I'd love to see it. I'd even offer my voice for one of the NPCs ;-)

Yes! This seems like the ultimate lore friendly quest mod that would be interesting and not just a new area to explore based on non-Skyrim lore.
