LE Immersive Location Discovery.

[OpenWorldAddict]

Do you ever get tired of getting the message 'x (name of location) discovered. Woudln't you like to just read the name of the place that you just arrive in on a sign or placard? After playing game for over two years, I realized that i would, and that realization came watching a video last night

 

I was watching a skyrim roleplay series on Youtube created by The Jessa Channel. In that video she asked her viewers for advice on how should her character learn of the location that she just dscovered, because she know the name of the location because it just appeared to her, but her character didn't see the notification, and why would he, so how could he know? Last time she did a roleplay she played as the character's guardian angel and told her character the names of the locations, but this time she is not playing that way, and was having trouble coming up with a method.

 

That got me thinking, well mods are made to fix issues with immersion that players have, could there be a way for both the player and the character to learn the name of location at the same time using in-world methods?

 

So this brings me to my idea:

I would a mod that adds signs and plaques to all societal and cultural location such as settlements and ruins. Big settlements (such as a city or town) could have a plaque over the entrance or near the pathway that leads to the city or town, where as small settlements would only have a sign outside to mark it (they also can have a big sign)

 

Old locations such as ruined cities and tombs might have a worn out dusty plaque either on the ground near the entrance or over head either over the door or up high in the first room.

 

These signs and plaque would make discovering a location so much more immersive since you and your character are learning the name at the same time. Now to eliminate the messages, there must be a setting that you can use to turn them off, otherwise they need to be removed by a modder. However, even without that, it still an immersive way for your character to discover a location.

I saw that, but it not a solution to the problem, I am still asking for the signs of plaques.

 

Not getting those messages is nice, but you still need to find out where you are, thus is why I request a sign.
