I appreciate the criticism. I do realize that this is a very large project (enormous). I was trying to get an idea if anyone would be interested in helping or even playing this mod before I decided to make it. I wasn't planning adding things willy nilly - I was thinking more of a route like Exodus said. This way you could get an area and a quest line at a time. Eventually the mod would expand, and be released on city or area at a time. I have had some experience with mods and know that without extensive planning this will fall through the cracks, and I also know that most ideas posted on here are probably looked down on as someone who doesn't know what they are doing. I understand this and expect most people to have no faith in this ever being completed. However, if anyone is interested in helping or offering some ideas for what you'd like to see first, let me know!

I understand that. However, the creation kit is not out yet so there isn't much else I can do other than gather my ideas, and try and create some interest for a team of modders and get feedback. If I could start right now I would.

I am an amatuer modder, and modeler. I'll probably be working on my own mods, but if you need some help with some 3d models I'd love to contribute a few things.

I was also thinking the same thing. The way Skyrim is set up it'd be a pretty good fit for the Wall and the North. However, I was thinking that if I wanted to leave room to expand and eventually add the southern regeions, it would be cool to just make a ship that you could use to travel to a newly discovered continent of Westeros. Either that, or put a copy of a book call A Song of Ice and Fire, and upon reading it you get transported to Westeros. Also, like you said Draugrs are perfect to use as the "Others". I would appreciate help with writing, and eventually quests (you could join The Faceless Men of Braavos, or the Kingsguard, or the Night's Watch) but I think this is getting WAY ahead of ourselves. Would need to design the world before we could add stuff like that in. On a side note, it would be cool if key characters, such as the King, were updated and changed as the final 2 books came out :P

Alright so I have been recently obsessed with George R.R. Martin's epic series A Song of Ice and Fire. I was thinking that it would be pretty awesome to bring his world to life in the Skyrim engine. Obviously this would be an enormous task (understatement), that could take a year (or many years), but completing one small part at a time could be pretty cool. I have made some mods for Amnesia : The Dark Descent, and messed around with Oblivion, so I do have a bit of experience. I just wanted to make a post to see if there was any interest in such a project, or if any other fellow Skyrim players were into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. Once the creation kit comes out, we will see how feasible this is, but I think it could be pretty amazing if done well. I'll probably start working on this once the kit is out, starting with just a city/area at a time. (Maybe King's Landing first) Using the detailed descriptions from the book, and the visuals from the series I think an accurate version of the world could be created. It would also be very cool if we could get a group of modders and divide the work up by city/region. Some cool areas to start with could be -King's Landing -Braavos -Winterfell -The Wall -The Eyrie -Dragonstone -Storm's End These would provide a good basis to build off. Obviously the ultimate goal would be to create the entire world, but I'm already getting ahead of myself... I'm going to use this thread to gather my ideas. Would love to hear some feedback!

I am just posting this to see if people would have any interest in such a mod, or even if they would want to contribute to the mod. I will start work on this as soon as the creation kit comes out, and keep you guys updated of any work I have accomplished. Most people will see this thread and think I'm in way over my head, and there is no way this will get finished (which is what I would assume too). Just wanted to spark up some conversation about the world and take it one piece at a time, and have a place to gather my ideas where they could be discussed.
