rcarass1 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If, like me, you are a bit of a softy, you perhaps feel a pang of guilt for only being able to adopt two of Skyrim's many orphaned children in the Hearthfire DLC (multiple adoption mods notwithstanding). Well, to get around this, I thought it'd be a great idea for a mod if, through careful selection of a few choice NPCs and some creative dialogue scripting and AI manipulation, the Dovahkiin was able to talk to people throughout Skyrim and ask them if they would consider becoming parents to one or more of Skyrim's countless younglings-in-need. I imagine the easiest and most immersive way to go about it would be to have the player-character "say" most of the contextually relevant and topical stuff and have prospective parent NPCs respond with simple and generalised 'Yes' and 'No' type acknowledgements. This could perhaps vary with the Dovahkiin's Speechcraft level, invoking favours the player-character has done for them through questing or just stopping Alduin from eating their soul! Once a suitable parent NPC has been found, the Dragonborn could perhaps talk to an orphan, tell them they have a new home waiting for them and then, I don't know how exactly, the child could have an AI package added to their load-out that makes them idle in their 'parents' homes, watch their market stands with them or accompany them in working the fields and the likes. Blaise could help Angeline in her potion shop (and help her get over the grief of losing her daughter), Lucia could help Ahlam at the Temple of Kynareth (and turn Nazeem into less of a giant douche) and Sofie could become the brat-child of whoever the Jarl of Windhelm might be, giving even Dagny a run for her money! Wouldn't it be heart-warmingly wonderful! :laugh: If anyone would be interested in creating a mod like this, I would be more than happy to help however I can. Though, the most I could probably do is help compose the Dovahkiin's dialogue for the scripts (eg. "I have fantastic news for you, child!" or "Please, open your heart and give an orphan a happy home". (Persuade)" etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
