LE Durlag's Tower in Skyrim

[sdkfz151]

Hi all ,

 

So i was browsing the new dungeons created by the community and I found that most were caves, nordic ruins or dwemer ruins which means they are all underground...

 

I really would like to play some different kind of dungeon, set in a different atmosphere , with a good story going with it and some challenge that doesn't only involve fighting OP ennemies.

 

I really liked the atmosphere of Pelagius wing in the Blue palace of Solitude , the Dawnguard fortress and Harkon's castle ; kind of haunted castle but more recent and less decrepit compared to the interiors of Skyrim fotresses.

 

I was thinking that Durlag's Tower ( From Baldur's Gate game series ) was one of the best dungeon i ever played, there was a cool story behind it, the dungeon was quite large and was full of traps, ennemies and puzzles to solve.

 

here is a bit of lore about the tower: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Durlag%27s_Tower

 

of course , to match TES lore , some stuff must be changed...

 

Durlag could be a Nord instead of a dwarf and the mindflayers/dopplegangers that drove Durlag insane could be dremoras from sheogorath's oblivion realm??? anyway it's always open to suggestions

With that changed,the rest of the lore could fit pretty well into skyrim: mysterious tower , big treasure inside, an evil power in the bowels of the tower, etc...

 

I'll put a link of the different floors plans, a picture of the exterior of the tower , and a walkthrough of the dungeon to give you an idea

I know it is a bit ambitious lol , and i'm hopeless at using the creation kit... but it would be sooooo kewl if it could be done !!!!


What do you think about the idea?

thanks heaps for commenting or endorsing

 

cheers!
