Mod Request: Slavery in Cyrodiil

Recommended Posts

I've seen mods for extra slaves/better slave scripts and such in Morrowind, but when I looked for Oblivion slavery mods, I was disappointed. It seems that it's an area that hasn't really been touched upon in the modding community for the fourth installment of the series, and it comes as somewhat of a surprise to me.

Just an idea I want to throw out there for anyone who has the capabilities to do so - I think that a slavery mod, possibly involving some rogue Telvanni slave smugglers operating in Cyrodiil to bring back slaves to Vvardenfel (illegally of course, seeing as how slavery was officially abolished), would be great. Like a smuggling ring that buys and sells fully-functional and combat-ready slaves. A way to enslave non-essential NPC's to sell/keep for yourself would be cool, like using a hypnosis spell and then putting a slave collar and bindings on them (similar to the process in Fallout 3).
I would probably put it somewhere close to Leyawiin, since that area has tons of Argonian and Khajiit immigrants all over the place.

I don't think it's too outlandish (pun intended) of an idea, being that a lot of people (myself included) like to roleplay characters that stretch through multiple games in the series, kept alive by magical means and such. I sure would love to play as an exiled Telvanni mage-lord returning to his old ways of slavery and deceit.

Anyway, just a thought. Thanks!

Your wish is my command.

 

On-topic though, it actually shouldn't come surprising at all, considering slavery wasn't just banished in the Empire but also the concept of slavery itself was removed from the game, Oblivion, entirely as well, and by most it would also be considered 'lore-breaking' even to try and reintroduce it now...

 

...but I'm the type who never cared about this abstract, non-persistent, ever-changing and still-pretty-much-undefined concept they call 'lore' now anyways, so what am I talking here?

 

Regardless... I even recall there's been quite a lot of mods along the lines of which you request in existence already... it's just been far too long for me and my bad memory to remember the details anymore now. But they're out there somewhere, and some might even still be worked on. :thumbsup:

 

Off the top of a quick search, this one looks interesting already:

And there's more where this comes from.

I can't believe I overlooked that, thanks!
Although it would be pretty cool if someone were to expand upon the original or make a new similar mod to add a way to actually trade or buy slaves. And it doesn't look like there's a "companion share" ability with this mod either. But I will definitely check that one out.
