I'm not much of a forum-goer-guy (which is obvious if you take a look at my astounding post count), but for some reason (maybe because i don't have anything to do at work today), i managed to convince myself to eye over the Skyrim part of this forum in hopes of finding out if there's any talk about new and ambitious projects already underway even before the release of the CK. And, of course, this topic was the first to spark quite a lot of my curiosity. I'd also like to say that I don't care much about item, texture or gameplay mods (even though i do use a fair share of each). What i do care for are stories - quest mods. Having said that, i can't help but wonder. Since this will be a completely new world, with no tie-ins to Skyrim whatsoever, how "big" will this mod be story-wise? - will this world have a decent (if not solid) history presented through books or by characters in the game? - will it have a plot riddled with unexpected turns of events, political machinations or military strategies much like the XV-th century War of Roses or R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"? - will I care about the characters I interact with and about my own character? - will there be rich and meaningful dialogue? Or will it be a speed-through story with "go there, do that because i say so" kind of run-around? Basically, what i'm asking is to what extent will you take the player-to-story immersiveness, leaving aside the surely baffling work that will be put into creating the land, it's location, it's inhabitants, etc. ? And as a side note, do you guys need any help with writing the story? I could try my hand at this if you need an extra pair of hands :happy:
