LE drauger trouble

[DragonKing7]

you know i was thinking if anyone was willing they could make a type of follower mod involving draugers (not the way that you think) heres what im thinking

a necromancer desperate for love goes into a nord ruin to reanimate a bride. this drauger was suppose to follower his commands but the spell went wrong instead simply making her more agrgresive and she attacks and kills him from rage and confusion.

when the dragonborn arrives she stands the ready to shoot but gets a clearer mind. she simply asks. (where am i, why am i here) you would say your dragonborn and ask why she is there. she'd say (impossible, the legends say he only comes when alduin is..... wait alduin....) she would shoot a paralyzez arrow at you and run away realizing she died a long time ago the last time alduin was causing havoc (if im totally wrong please correct me) as you travel through the tomb you will hear drauger talking to her treating her as one of them, she freaks out a bit (what? why... how can i understand you?..) she runs pass them closing the door behind her where she was revived

when you next see her she is siting next to the dead body of the man telling you what happened, she says sorry and asks you one favor to go back home. so when you take her there in this 3 stories house covered in vines and cobweps she says (thank you dragonborn maybe i can fix my home and live here again... away from anyone and everyone. perhaps i can travel with you if you wish,0 when i was alive my teacher was also dragonborn i kept his jornals and books so maybe i can learn from that.)

and boom you got a drauger girl who does one or 2 shouts. her dialoge is basically her comparing the past with the present. and once in a while she talks in drauger tounge on accident

I'm a negative person. I therefore apologize for the next paragraph. I will, however, attempt to be constructive.

 

People in Skyrim don't get married for romance. They get married for companionship and necessity. It would therefore be unlikely that a person who is "desperate for love" would exist in such a society. If there was someone who was desperate for love, he could probably find a perfectly normal, living wife, as simply doing someone a favor makes them willing to get married. If he couldn't find a living person, it would be much easier for him to find a body in one of the crypts in the cities, as few people actually venture far from the civilized parts of Skyrim. There is no evidence that draugr are actually intelligent, and the only language that they seem to speak is that of the dovah. Unfortunately, the dragonborn is ironically not able to understand this language, and would therefore be unable to converse with the draugr at all. As far as I know, draugr don't ever use poison, and may not know how to make it or use it. If she was somehow able to understand that you are dragonborn, she would almost definitely kill you, as draugr were mostly dragon worshippers. Draugr are from the time that Nordic ruins were built, so the only structures that could have been her home would be ruins, most of which are underground. She would not have been a student of any dragonborn, as draugr and dragonborn are on opposite sides of the dragon-mortal war.

 

I'm sorry, but I'm a perfectionist and a lore freak, and I just thought I would give some criticism on what I think you should change. Here are some ideas to consider:

 

Maybe rather than looking for love, the necromancer is a researcher trying to learn about draugr. Considering his area of study, he would likely know some of the dovah language and maybe have some books about it. He either reanimates a draugr or simply wakes one up by accident (like the first time you went into a nordic ruin and didn't know you should be sneaking). Maybe she kills him and learns from a book he had, or maybe he speaks in the dragon tongue and convinces her to not kill him and then teaches her the language used in modern Tamriel. Either way, she learns the modern language, and is therefore able to understand the dragonborn. She could then be surprised about there being a dragonborn(though I think dragonborn were actually not uncommon in the ancient times draugr are from). For some reason, she doesn't try to kill you and actually befriends you, despite your conflicting beliefs(can't think of a reason right now).She could maybe allow you to peacefully go through the rest of the dungeon because of her acceptance by other draugr. Once you get outside, she starts to tell you more about how she knows your language. She gives you a book that belonged to the necromancer that you can learn from(whatever that constitutes). You can use the dungeon you found her in as a player home, with the friendly draugr acting as stewards or something.

With the combined efforts of your original idea and what megageeklizzy said, this sounds like an amazing quest/follower mod.

lol im glad you honest but the love system you talked about many people wouldnt have that option like a hermit who would live in isolation, an outcast who was frowned upon by many for his mastery of necromancy. either was he would be in isolation training his skills in nordic crypts away from people. would it really be impossible that after all that time he cant stand the loneliness and therefor simply learned of a way to reanimate some random girl (note giving her like skin n all that) and thought he would control her that way. when like i said it backfires and she attacks. and the paralyzes would've come from him just in case he lost control of a draugr (like this one) so she simply grabbed his arrows.

 

and i agree with the dragonborn vs dragon priest point you make so. why not when she kills him she takes his journals which has translations from dragon tongue to... english?. there she can understand the dragonborn. though the interaction between the 2 i dont know how it would work :/ lol ya you kinda blew it out of the water with the 2 being mortal enemies though i still think she would shoot him and run away. either she would be scared or confused.
