Somnazul Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I humbly request a talented modder to collaborate with Arthmoor on his Alternate Start - Live Another Life mod. The request is straightforward enough: Develop the "Outlaw" and "Warlock's Thrall" options further, as well as any others you might think need more depth. The requests to Arthmoor are quoted below. I love this mod. It is great and you have done so much with it!I was curious though if you would like to alter the Outlaw option to where each of the bandit groups you wind up with are unique and the npcs have their own names and such? I get that the player was with them and got bored, but man are they boring.They barely have AI sets (other than combat). They don't even sleep. Some just stand in one spot and one or two will pace around. I just want something to interact with and return to if the player actually has some history with this bandit group. I really like the idea behind "A Warlocks Thrall" start, but it was quite unenthralling. I was expecting to have to overcome my Master but I simply walked out.Have you ever thought about teaming up with someone? Because this mod is my favorite and I believe it could be even better! For example the character starts off laying on an altar then gets up and has that darkness blue thrall effect on them then it goes into first person and the vision is blurred somewhat. "They said I was crazy that what I was attempting could only be accomplished by the divines themselves! But here you are my own creation!" Then suddenly a mage of winterhold or a vigilant of stendar or even just random villagers burst in. "Warlock you've commented crimes against the people of skyrim and the divines and now you shall pay." They begin fighting and the warlock has the upperhand but needs help. "Thrall assist me kill these pious bigots!" Then you gain control and draw weapons/magics and slay the warlock. After doing so the blurriness goes away and the people give you starter gear say good job your life is yours now so go live it.Or ya know, something similar. : D It it a little lackluster to start out in a bandit camp but none of the bandits really do anything, have any scripted dialogue, names, or any sense of personality. If you are the type of modder good at adding in new NPCs that could be possible followers and giving an area a sense of depth then you'd be perfect to take the Outlaw option to the next level. As for the Thrall option, if there was some sort of quest or quest-like structure to it to where you feel you are truly trying to escape a deadly situation, that'd be awesome! Even if it just a combat-based start with some Vigilants or others bursting in to slay the warlock and you happen to have broke the warlock's hold on you around the same time... possibly waiting for your chance to kill the warlock before they realized you were not under their thrall anymore. PLEASE contact Arthmoor first before developing anything. He said he would definitely want to add any outside developments to the main mod so that they can be updated instead of having patches floating around.

Somnazul Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 I know of it, yes. The request is to alter and improve the original options in the latest main Alternate Start mod not make new options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
