SSE Character retirement from adventuring

[mightyteegar]

I would love to see a mod that simply presents a "retirement" sequence, with references to past accomplishments and attributes. Fallout-New Vegas style, sort of. Once you finish all the quests currently, you just ... stop playing after a while. There's no finality, no flourish, no acknowledgment than you just spent possibly hundreds of hours with this character making him or her into a legend.

 

For example, my current character is a level 76 mage maxxed out in all schools, plus Speech and Enchanting. He is:

 

* head of the Thieves Guild

* Arch-Mage of CoW

* leader of the Dark B-hood

* completed Dawnguard and Dragonborn

* sided w/ Empire in civil war and won

* sided w/ Madanach in Reach quest

* Thane in all holds

* Sided w/ Greybeards, Parthunaax is alive

 

but did not join the companions or finish either Boethiah's Calling or Taste of Death (I killed everyone at the dinner instead). I spent most of my "family time" at Lakeview Manor, with a couple of short spells at Proudspire and Windstad.

 

So my retirement sequence might look like this, with cutscenes for each event:

* Crowd of people by Lake Ilinata for a small celebration, including faction leaders or VIPs (except Companions), Isran, Serana, Solstheim VIPs and all jarls of holds I am Thane in - examples would be Brynjolf, Mirabelle, Nazir etc.

* Brief scenes at each faction location (CoW, Thieves Guild etc.) with smaller ceremonies involving guild members

* "Fly bys" from Parthunaax and Odahviing

* Standing w/ Greybeards on High Hrothgar and all of us perform a shout together

-- Or if I sided w/ the Blades, some sort of ceremony on the porch of Sky Haven Temple

* Cameo by Madanach

* Something to recognize my maxxed out skills - presentations of gold busts of the icons of the different skills?

 

And so on. After the ceremony, maybe even see small shrines, statues or other inconspicuous tributes to the Dragonborn across Skyrim and Solstheim. Maybe have discounts at shops and taverns in holds where I am Thane (these would be ceremonial of course, because by this time you should be so wealthy as not to need them).

 

You could continue playing, of course. This is basically a way to honor your character's entire career in-world.
