LE Special NPC Blacksmith

[xangreigor]

I was thinking... leveling smithing can be tedious sometimes, and some maybe don't even want it (wierd, right, ehmmm.. ehehe...)

So, why wouldn't someone create a mod for a special blacksmith? A secret blacksmith.

The idea would be that this Special NPC Blacksmith would be capable of smithing anything, as long as you meet the standard material requirements, and money.

He would be tucked away in some cave, deep inside a mountain (no map marker until you actually find his cave). It would be a long straight path inside the cave that leads to a master (and only) chamber inside that cave, with the blacksmith residing on the central platform surrounded by lava.

He would have some crazy looking forge and all the smithing things around (forge, smelter, tanning rack, sharpening rock-thingy, tempering table...).

The blacksmith himself wouldn't be human, make him look like a draugr maybe?

 

When you interact with the smith, there is no voiced or text dialogue from the blacksmith, just your "talk" to which smith would reply with "...", and "Smith/Buy/Order" whatever, which would open a standard merchant interface where you could buy weapons/armor for which you have the required materials and money. Or you could trade soul gems for those items (I don't know how that could work though), to explain him still being alive.

 

So, what say you? Any takers?

A bump?

My mod has some of the functionality you mentioned. Blacksmiths can be supplied with materials and paid to make stuff for you or improve your gear. It's nothing quite as specific as you mentioned though and is applied to all blacksmiths. I don't really intend on making something to suit someone's specific needs though as it is very time consuming and I am only really skilled in coding and not the other stuff.

Here's a link if you're interested:
