LE Massive Ambitious Project (easy read)

[dransom93]

Hey I have an idea for a giant undertaking that would most likely require a team of fellow modders to accomplish. It's such a huge feat that it would be akin to Bethesda making another DLC addon. Unfortunately, I lack the skill to do it myself. Here's what I'm thinking. The first part is a player home. What if you had a player home that progressed and advanced as you do?

A huge underground tunnel network. It would be a home where the decor and furniture and amenities change and advance as you progress through various quests. It would also include a room for each of the four guilds that change as you go through their story lines.

Also thinking of an expansive quest line featuring your father as a potential follower. It would include the backstory that he is pretty much a legend throughout Skyrim and built this awesome underground system for you.

Also want to include a personal guild sort of thing where you can recruit mages, thieves, warriors, rangers, and assassins. Each group as you gather more recruits they present you with new content regularly. So you would basically have various themed R&D departments in your home. This is just an interesting way for other modders to introduce their new content.

Also, I was thinking that maybe you learn from your father that you descended from a royal line of dragonborns. Maybe this could tie in with a mod I saw that allows you to become the high king.

I personally still suck big time at modding and I am ashamed to say that I cannot do this myself. I need modders who are interested to join this massive project. Everyone would get full credit for their work as long as I get credit for coming up with the idea. Comments?

Please?! I can't do all this on my own. I need someone or mutiple people who would be interested in doing this.

Problem is, there is not enough modders for that these days. At best you will find 4-5 people that got any kind of modding ability around, and at best you get 1 of them to help you. Big project is something you do when a game is released, not when a game is old.

So you are basically saying you are not going to do anything? You do know an idea is not copyrighted, and does not get you any credit at all. And don't tell me you are the writer either. the whole "I got a vague idea of how the story will look like" is the kind of storytelling a 5 year old does.

You need to chip in more than anybody else. That is one of the quality of a leader, and since you want the project, you need to lead.

 

If you want to be the story writer, you need to flush out every detail. and make sure it fits with the lore at every turn. You also need to have a good idea of who you need and what they need to do.

 

A big project is not easy to do, and demands a lot of dedication. More than I think you know. From my own experience, 90% of all the projects never get past planning, and another 5% never get past first few months. The biggest reason is lack of dedication from the members, and lack of consistenty. If you get a modeller, but you have no idea how thing should look like, that guy leaves after a while. If you got a scripter, but got no idea what functions you need, that guy leaves.

Math is smart guy. Knows what he's talking aboot.

 

Show everyone your serious, start creating something, get a draft of something, don't just post, start something.

[DoctorKaizeld]

you might want to start planning until a modder decides to help. also if you can start making concept art.
