ExpatLuke Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I would love it if someone took it upon themselves design a great Orc mod. I love playing as an Orc, and they offer many RP possibilities. Things I would like to see in a mod like this: A captureable Orc stronghold - maybe it's controlled by bandits or Giants or trolls, but it would need to be cleared via a quest. Fixing the stronghold - similar to how you fix up a house from a jarl's steward or how you fix up the dawnstar sanctuary from delvin. You can buy upgrades. Things to include would be the repaired longhouse, watch towers, gates, a mine, smithing hut, etc. Recruitable orcs from around Skyrim - this is what would make this mod really unique and cool. There's a lot of orcs all over Skyrim which you encounter. It think it would be awesome, once you've established the stronghold, to have an extra dialogue added when talking to them which lets you recruit them into your stronghold. Furthermore, instead of just having people mill around inside the longhouse like some current Orc mods do, you could recruit them to different positions. For example the dialogue could go similar to this: "You have strength and honor. I would like to invite you to come live in my stronghold.""You honor me. What role would you have me fill?""You will be my _________" The different roles could include guards which man the towers and guard the gates, wise women who makes the potions and is the spiritual leader, first wife, forge wife, other wives, hunters, who hunt the surrounding area, miners who work in the mine, etc. Then once this is all done, other quests could be added with updates to the mod. For example, you could get quests from the wise woman to travel to a shrine of Malecath and fight something to prove your strength as chief. You could declare war on other strongholds or even Nord settlements. You could promote trade with other strongholds. Maybe it would be possible to even design a massive quest chain where you unite all the Orc settlements and declare war on Skyrim. You could over throw the Stormcloaks or Empire, but that's probably just wishful thinking :-P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyzark Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 its a very nice idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatLuke Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Yeah, it's one of those ideas that just sticks with me. I would design it myself, but I don't think I could get it right. I know most of the features are doable because I've seen similar ones in other mods. Like with the Norther Cardinal mod, you can recruit random people from around the world to serve as your crew on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarus31 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That's a fantastic idea ExpatLuke, I've always wanted to have a mod that lets you rebuild a stronghold, recruits new members and initiate trade or war with other tribes. Also, I love the idea of unifying every stronghold into one massive Orc Faction. I've always wanted to gather a horde of Orcs and battle both Imperials and stormcloaks, and then finally claim Skyrim for the Orcs... It's a good idea.

ExpatLuke Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes, I would be happy even with just aspect of rebuilding and populating an orc stronghold. I know designing a questing system is more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avallanche Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) One thing that always bothered me when playing an Orc is that you can beat the warchief in front of the whole stronghold proving you are stronger than him and yet you can't do anything else. This is a really nice idea for a mod. It would be great if you could beat the others warchiefs into submission, becoming some kind of overlord of all the strongholds... so you could recruit more guards or provide better armor for the others strongholds guards as well, uniting them under the same faction to make this massive orc army.

Wraithofdoom Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) make an orc follower that sings "orcs orcs orcs orcs orcs orcs" while you march, he should pronunce it "uorks" or possibly just "ouks".
