LE A Scout system mod idea up for grabs~

[SilverNirvash]

ok so i'm playing Hyperdimension Neptunia V for like the 10th time right? And i'm looking at mods for skyrim at the same time keeping up to date with the latest and greatest and update-est ....lol so ANYWAY i was sending out scouts to find me new locations and free items and cash when all of a sudden i had a stroke of genius!!! What if....SKYRIM HAD A SCOUTING SYSTEM LIKE HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA V!?!?

 

Now i know i'm no good at modding myself (even though ironically i just started school for game art and design...ironic) so i was hoping someone else could take this on as a side project or something!

 

Heres the idea

 

The mod itself will work with vanilla skyrim player homes (be them vanilla standard or modded like Breeze home make overs and stuff like that) What it'll do is it'll set up a small desk or something of that nature with a ledger. And when you interact with it itll tell you

 

"who do you have as a follower"

"How much gold they're willing to take in order to go scouting"

"what they're good at scouting for"

"and how long they'll take to scout depending on where you want them to scout"

 

Now obviously this mod will require something like UFO or AFT (i'd PREFER AFT since it seems to be getting updates more than UFO now but that's entirely up to whoever takes this on)

 

so basically you walk up to this ledger and Choose a follower registered by you in the ledger.

You then select what you want them to search for

how much you want to pay them (itll be set in increments of 10 gold, 100 gold, 1000gold, 10000 gold, etc)

Where you want them to search specifically from a list of locations predetermined by the mod maker (so if you want the locations to be determined based on locations you can Fast travel to or something like that if it's possible please do it)

and then it'll calculate based on that followers speed (and if it has a horse which you can purchase for them during this whole process) how long itll take for them to go to that location, scout for what you're telling them to scout for, and return back to that starting location.

 

 

i actually got the idea from a mix of HNV and Oblivion's mod CM companion mod which allowed you to tell a follower to go look for ...like...weapons, ammo, gold, stuff like that and they'd randomly wander the general location for such things and then when YOu decided they'd stop you'd just talk to them and tell them to follow you again.

 

but this idea seems a bit more sophisticated and realistic. You pay the follower an amount you see to be fair for a specific task and they then go and play fetch for you.

 

So please if anyone thinks this is DOABLE or not don't be afraid to speak up and give me your 2 cents....just don't do what seems to be the norm and just out right ignore the idea all together please ;w;...i've had a few nice ideas that just flew past everyones radar it seems.... ;W;
