[WIP] Path of the Divine

[Madrilous]

I'm currently working on my next mod, Path of the Divine. The mod will consist of a small quest line along with what I suppose could be considered a new game-play mechanic. I just wanted to guage what people think about it and to get some feedback on what to include.

 

The quest line centers around a breton priest named Rodryn who encourages the player to embark on a pilgrimage to the shrines of the nine. These are the shrines found in the wilderness not those in the temples. Upon completion of the pilgrimage Rodryn shares his knowledge of Prayer with the player.

 

Now prayer'a work like this. A Prayer is split into four sections with each section being a customisable slot.

1) In the first section the god in which the prayer is to be dedicated is chosen. Depending on which god you choose you will be granted a blessing, similar to those given by shrines.

2) In the second section you will ask your chosen god for strength in either magicka/health/stamina. This will give you either a boost to max amount or regen rate.

3) The third section is where you ask your god for protection. This will confer a resistance to the player such as magic/frost/posion e.t.c

4) The forth and final section of the prayer is where you ask your god to guide your bow/sword/will e.t.c

 

The prayer will probably be a once daily power for balance. It will add the four chosen bonuses to the character which will last for several hours.

 

Initially the player will have all of the Gods to choose from and a couple of effects such as boost health and resist magic. The rest of the effects will be acquired by finding lost scriptures. These will be scattered throughout Skyrim. Each one providing a new bonus.

 

The prayer will be customisable through an MCM menu. Allowing you to change up the prayers effects at will. On top of this I am also looking to add some more religious related content so any input and ideas would be great.

 

Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions.

Great idea! You could even expand it, so say your in the Legion and you pray to Akatosh, its patron god, perhaps you gain a bonus to a legion related skill since your in that faction? Same for talos and the stormcloaks!

Nice idea, maybe something similar could be applied if you are wearing the amulet of the god your praying to.
