hanojthekid Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have recently finished watching the new season of Vikings and I was curious as to see if anyone would be willing to make a mod where a new religion is introduced into Skyrim? Like a spin-off of Christianity or Christianity itself. Like a missionary coming over by boat or from another country to try and convert the natives. The two religions that I am aware of in the game are the 9/8 Divines or the Deadric Princes. I have no experience in modding or anything but I think this seems like a cool idea and it would be really cool if it was implemented into the game somehow!

Fenryr3001 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 NOT LOAR-FRENDLAY!Could be interesting though.Maybe instead of entirely new Gods make them inspired by TES ones mixed with a bit Christianity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulpes95 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Well, there is also the worship of Sithis. Edited June 1, 2015 by Vulpes95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenryr3001 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I go more towards the Direction of ripping off existing ones,like Auri-El esentially is Akatosh.Or,if you want to go the more Lore-Unfriendly Way,making Mara be Eva,basically mixing the existing Pantheons with Christianity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see: Mortal with a divine essence. Check.Love for Mankind...and seemingly nothing else. I don't mean any offense by that. Check.Followers who seem to think that he is a member of their race when he actually belonged to a race they despise. Check.Prophesied return. This one's harder to prove, but the player is even given the name Ysmir, which Talos himself bore at one time. Mara personally seems to have more in common with Mary (at least the Catholic portrayal of Mary) than with Eve. I'm not trying to argue with you, though, just listing my thoughts.

simtam Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Relevant recent "abrahamic religion in TES" lore discussion thread http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1516686-new-religions-inspired-by-abrahamic-religions-in-tes/ but if someone wanted to do this seriously, I think it would be tedious but possible to make a 1632(novel)-style worlds crossover and hope to not fall into "bad skyrim mod" youtube playlists (I've spotted one Christianity-themed mod on such a playlist, and one is enough :) ).

Fenryr3001 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah,was more of a speculation than anything else :smile: I thought about having existing shrines destroyed and changed to the new ones,adding Heimskr MKII to all the Cities (Or executed Versions of him) and,maybe building Chapels that have a random Chance of "Crusaders" attacking them and some destroyed Chapels.There are many Knightly Armours around the Nexus,so with the permission it could actually be done fairly easily (with the exception of the Chapels) Edited June 2, 2015 by Fenryr3001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
