FlyingHearts Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 So I've got this idea for a mod but I have no clue on making actual mods. It's about this quest line where your character gets kidnapped for a secret slave trade going on in Skyrim. You wake up in a strange place after being drugged or whatever and have to escape. You meet plenty new friends that want to get back their freedom and return home. The slave auctions are due soon and you have to move quickly. So yeah... I guess it's like a jail break escape thingy. I really have no clue! But if anyone would like to use my idea and *cough* develop it into something completely new and awesome, *cough* then you're very welcome to! I've got plenty of random ideas for it really. Feel free to laugh at my attempt of being smart :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconisking Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think it would be nice, well made quest mods are always a great addition (IMO). I'm also happy to know I'm not the only person that just has plenty of sometimes strange and random ideas. I support the idea. A Prisonbreak kind of quest would be nice (I can still remember my excitement when I found that tunnel out of the Whiterun prison for the first time).

FlyingHearts Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Haha yeh, I remember breaking outta Riften jail for the first time. Felt like a real rebel xD Got my inspiration from Cidhna Mine and Red Water Den (from Dawnguard) and I just keep on coming up with random bits of script for it in my head.

draconisking Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Strangely I found the Cidhna mine questline a little less interesting than finding an unexpected exit ( it still is a very nice quest however). And yes the lore around the Redwater den does ressemble what you are trying to do. It would be nice to have multiple ways out but that depending on actions you would do during the time you're still imprisoned some of them would be blocked (I don't know, a guard you corrupted is relieved on a different moment than expected or something like that, there are a lot of different options here) while others could open. For example, you and the other prisoners managed to bribe a guard to let you out of your cell on a certain moment, however while you and the other prisoners are sleeing one of them betrays you and alerts the guards. He is freed and takes the other guard's place. As a consequence, all obvious ways out would be blocked because there would be too many guards now. So you'll have to find another way.And if you really want some fun/stupid ideas: Why not make someone propose to escape prison by tunneling out with a spoon! (It would be even funnier/stupider (no that's no real word but you probably get what I mean ^^) if you would be imprisoned on the second floor of a building) Well anyway, good luck with it!

FlyingHearts Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 That sounds pretty amazing! God, I wish I could mod. I haven't the faintest clue how to though! I was thinking it could tie into how the Dark Elves took Argonians as slaves as well and then you somehow hear about it at an inn or whatever so go to investigate at a new added location. When arriving the people at the top of the slave trade business welcome you and treat you as an honored guest but drug your wine or kidnap you while sleeping and throw you in with the rest of the slaves. You need to make choices and every thing you choose or say affects the way you escape in the end. You could dig your way out, trick the guards as you said or actually wait till it's the day of the slave auction and escape then. I'm seriously wishing I could mod right now xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconisking Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I know that feeling.Maybe you could make the quest happen on an island near Solstheim, after all just as you said the only living slavers in Tamriel are the Dunmer. However that would require the dragonborn DLC... But how would you escape during the auction, that is another thing to think about. Would be nice if there would be an alternative in which you really get sold. Then maybe you get the option of replaying the quest until you manage to get out... Could be a good idea in fact, would make the quest bith interesting and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownTheDrain Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There actually are several mods which feature the (usually female) player character being the victim of enslavement/imprisonment.Most of them are too adult-oriented for the Nexus, so you'll have look elsewhere. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to that particular page here so I'd rather not risk it.No idea if any of those mods allow for your elaborate escape schemes, probably not.

FlyingHearts Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've seen a few of those mods but they're definitely not for me. There too... "sexual". I want a kind of mod that gives a new and interesting quest line that fits into the lore well. Ah, well, there's always my day dreams to keep me happy.

draconisking Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) @Down the Drain: I have also heard of these mods but as FlyingHearts mentionned I don't think they fit exactly what we would like to see (Sorry if I'm mistaken FlyingHearts). Furthermore if it would happen near Solstheim I think I might have found a perfect slavemaster: that nasty Orc fellow who skulks around the market always telling you to Watch out for him. I think that he would be one of the best people to do such a thing (except for the Markarth Silverbloods perhaps). After all there is a possibility of crossing him in the vanilla game. The game then gives you the choice of bribing/intimidating/persuading him (if i remember well) but he doesn't seems to be the kind of person that would allow you to go on with your normal live after you crossed his path. Him bribing someone in the Ravenrock Inn to drug you and help his bodyguard getting you onto the slave prison island would fit in really well with the Lore. It would even explain why the Townspeople are so afraid of him (because well one pompous orc and his Watch dog aren't a great threat for the born pyromancers most Dunmer are).

FlyingHearts Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Oh my gosh, yes! That's perfect! If someone should make this mod a reality then they must do your ideas! The orc (Mogrul I think?) would be perfect for that and the Silverbloods. Hell, there could even be this big opperation throughout Skyrim and Solstheim, including a lot of different people. The thane in Solitude (Erik?), possibly the Black-Briars, a few stuck-up High Elves and of course........................... NAZEEM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
