jedimarine Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If this has been done, please direct me to it, but my searches have been fruitless. My issue with the vanilla White Gold Tower was not that you can't get on the roof. What bothers me is the lack of much of what you'd assume an Imperial Palace would be filled with. 1. Emperor's Chambers: meaning a bedchamber, a audience chamber, a study, a wardrobe, with NPC servants and perhaps adjoining servants quarters. And the funny thing is...you could probably do most of it by simply xeroxing the layout of the existing levels...the elder scroll library and guard barracks levels, etc...most towers have a repetitive layout...so long as you change enough of the objects in the interior/wall hangings, etc...it would look very different. 2. Traffic: Even if the Elder council is out of session, having some NPCs other then guards wandering the halls would make sense...I know it might prove troublesome for those on Thieves Guild quests...but I think that could be designed around. 3. Galleries: Displays of Imperial Grandeur! Tapestries from every city and perhaps tokens of the provinces. *note* and before I go any further...I'm not looking for yet another "home", though I could see people wanting that. I don't want halls of empty cases...I've filled enough treasure rooms...I'm talking about using the CS in ways I don't understand to bring elements of all parts of the land into the Palace. 4. Kitchens: Perhaps instead of a lower level that looks like a church basement, the Imperial Palace could have kitchens with cooking fires and ovens and servants and wells and things that make it look alive instead of like a crypt! Again, I know it would mess up the Thieves Guild quest, so perhaps have the kitchens through a door in the basement...just a thought. 5. Finally, the one that gets all the attention...Access to the Tower Roof. Nothing fancy...perhaps some stone benches...an altar to the Nine would seem fitting. -------- I know this is an ambitious request...perhaps someone is already working on such a thing. The existing mods of White Tower I've checked out seem tossed together rather then well crafted. Just a thought I had today. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimarine Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Looks good so far. I assume this is a "home" project? Are you adding NPCs? How close are you to completion? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that?Yes there will be NPC's.It is playable as of now, but as far as completion, i dont know. there will always be a chance for more suggestions for more NPC's rooms, etc. ;)EDIT: But as of the latest version theres the stairway, the emperor's chambers, the war room, the grand hall, and the vault.

jedimarine Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 "Home" project means nothing is flagged for theft, beds are open, the vault is empty to be filled by the player...etc. It's not a big deal. How do you gain access to the new floors? Did you add a key for the 2nd level door? How do the existing floors fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOOGLEPOX Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 oh no its not a home project. As of now there is a door behind the throne, which is takes up the second foor of the palace, which leads to the war room and grand hall. However, in the Battlemage's chambers there is a door to the emporer's chambers, and the stairway, then the top. i will fix that soon so it doesn't conflict with the thieves guild quest.

jedimarine Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Where is the throne? Is it in the observation gallery on the 2nd floor? I thought the walls looked familiar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
