Talonflight Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 You know what i realized what Skyrim needs? a rival dragonborn that you DONT need to wait 80 levels to face. A single opponant that actually presents a great challange instead of a frenzied 10 seconds of button mashing. At, say level 10, tales of your deeds start to become known, and a certain figure decides to hunt you. Wouldnt it be cool? He'd obtain the same perks as whatever you pick for your own, have exactly the same stats as you, but he hates you and hunts you across Skyrim. Every time you kill him, he teleports out, until you reach level 20(or 50, i have no idea, it could depend on personal preference) and he summons you for a final battle! He could have his own fame and infamy rankings, and act as sort of a Radiant AI (or something close to it). His own deeds and fame would reflect what alignment the game thinks YOU are trying to go for, and have HIM attempt it. If you are the kind who wanders into Whiterun and kills the town inhabitants, he could march into Dragon Bridge and kill a few NPC's (un-quest related). If you join the Companions, he could show up as a member of the Silver Hand. Should you attempt the Main Quest, he could pop up at various times and demand a duel for the right to perform certain actions. If you join the Dark Brotherhood, he could join the "Morag Tong", and hunt other un-useful NPC's (an idea i had for this version could be an event where he and you race to see who can kill the most people, first to 10 wins?). Join the Thieves Guild, and he'll become a rogue pickpocket. Join the College of Winterhold, and he joins the Necromancers. Join the Imperial Legion or Stormcloaks, and he'd become the faction you're fighting against. The possibilities could be endless. He'd be working his way up the ranks at the same time you did. Do more than one, and so will he. He could plant notes leading you to traps, but sometimes to treasure, and also alert certain enemies to your presence, could occasionally aid you if your goals coincide. He could be an ally or an enemy, depending on the situation but will also often ask you to compete with them in decidedly not-friendly combat. He could even stalk you to Sovengarde in the main quest, and you two fight each other in a race against time to see which of you should be the one to reach Shor's Hall (possible Final Battle with rival?). Perhaps most importantly, there could be a hidden route that allows you to make him understand you dont want to be rivals, and somehow add him (or her) as a companion. I was (very briefly) considering developing this mod myself, however, i no longer have acess to the game. I may receive acess to the game in the future, and if i do i might attempt it. However, i am just putting this idea out there, and no, i dont care if i get credit for it. Cmon, how many of you wouldnt want a rival dragonborn stalking you across the landscape?

treowtheordurren Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Well, it sounds like a great idea. But, you know, the actual logistics of it all would be mindbogglingly complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
