Game of Thrones Inspired Bounties

[Talamaeus]

So, I was thinking, immersion wise, how the hell do the Jarls (and Dark Brotherhood) actually know you killed someone they put a bounty on? They don't ask for proof or anything. So all this time, the Dovahkiin may have been making friends with the bandits and lying to the contractors. Why don't they ask for a head? or a finger? Maybe their weapon?

 

If I knew how I would totally create a mod like this, but I figured I would throw the idea out there for people to play with.

This could require editing core quests which would be dangerous for compatibility. It would be really nice, I'm behind this since I don't have quests mods.

I can see what you mean. Would be cool though. I run quest mods personally.

Perhaps, instead of trying to improve the existing bounty quests, you could create some higher level non-radiant bounties that bring in bigger pay but require more proof, more work, and perhaps have some backstory. Consider the quest to help Solitude stop the Potema cult... it is kind of like an extended bounty quest. Surely the other holds have their own antagonists or problems, ones that might be better suited to a character who as already become Thane and is looking to do more complex quests.

 

I have a very well-developed story for such a quest for Whiterun, and it has lots of room for expansion. It's related to the story development I did for my SMQO mod, but was cut due to lack of time/resources. If you like Game of Thrones, it will certainly scratch that itch, as it is quest related to the politics of Skyrim. Let me know if you're interested in something like that.
