LE A Soldier's Life for Me

[Tehandyman]

So what I'm requesting is a mod that adds a separate (sort of) civil war quest line that doesn't make you the pivotal figure as always. I just want to be a normal soldier following normal orders.

 

Now when I say "sort of", I mean that it can be the same progression style as the vanilla civil war questline. Like how you take fort after fort, but instead of you performing some spec ops, behind the scenes work like blackmailing a steward or attacking a carriage, all you do is execute sieges on forts with your fellow soldiers. What this mod could do is add several (maybe 5-8 )followers that are stormcloak or imperial soldiers, and basically these guys will travel with you and stuff. And when you are assigned to a different hold, the leader of the hold camp will tell you to liberate certain forts and stuff.

 

There are a pretty large number of forts in skyrim (around 30 if I remember correctly). Whether or not these forts are filled with imperials, stormcloaks, necromancers, or bandits, your leaders want this fort captured and garrisoned and they are sending you and your men to clear them out. Of course, you won't be clearing 30 forts (a lot of them are seriously FUBAR so you obviously wouldn't go for those. I'd say anywhere between 10-20 of these forts could make for a decent enough civil war questline. So the war starts with you enlisting with either side, then you'll report to whiterun/whiterun camp for the whiterun siege. Then you'll be shipped off the the other holds. Basically you get the quest to capture the fort in that hold, and once all living things in that fort are killed, the quest is complete and you report back to your officer. That fort will become populated with soldiers from your side and then you'll move onto the next fort.

 

When you are done with the forts, you can begin your siege on Solitude or Windhelm and wait outside the palace of kings/ castle dour while the REAL MEN (not you) decapitate the enemy leader.

 

Yes its a LOT of work so i doubt anyone would go out and make this mod, but its good to be optimistic sometimes.

Sounds a lot like you'd be making a Mount & Blade variant out of Skyrim. I support this idea.

 

Thinking of it, I haven't played MnB in... wow.. Years.
