I've recently been tossing around the idea of some alternate Stormcloak officer battle armour to craft or recieve during the Civil war quest line if you side with the Stormcloaks. The idea is to have a simple Elven (or elven light) curias, painted black instead of gold, have it lined with gold trim, much like some of the Dark Elven armour sets floating around, then texture it to look beat up and dimpled like the Ancient Nord armour, and inscribed and carved in the same fashion. For the finishing touch, add the blue Stormcloak sash over the front with a few small chains to hold it in place and maybe a few coloured loops around the right shoulder to show rank. Ulfric always makes such a big deal out of giving you weapons pulled from enemy officers, why not a curias taken in the same fashion and emblazoned for a Stormcloak officer? It'd be something special and most certainly show those Thalmor you're looking for a fight.

This is something I'd love to see. There's supposedly disabled content buried in Skyrim's files that was meant for that, but all I've heard are rumours.

An idea I've had for a while but I neither have the skill nor knowledge on how to make one myself, is to have a merchant(s) who prices and sells player homes that get modded into the game. I love to download player abodes because honestly, some are INCREDIBLY beautiful, but it really tends to break the immersion when they're just free and unlocked. I think it'd be a great immersion mod to have a manager that locks all player abodes (possibly by locking all homes that aren't marked as owned) and an NPC(s) who prices and sells the homes, and buying the specified house unlocks the doors on the mod. I have a feeling it could be possible to create something like this, but as I said, I have neither the time, skill, nor knowledge of how to create a mod like this. Anyone else think this is a good idea?
