I want to make the first lore practical crossover mod.

I want to make the first lore practical crossover mod and I feel it would be a epic, but practical concerns hold me back.

 

I want to take April, directly from longest journey 1, the daughter of the white dragon and world shifter and bring her into skyrim in the middle of her quest to join the dragonborn and then have him help her and perhaps fall in love.

 

I have all the voice acting I need from her lines in longest journey 1 and the lesser game that was the squeal, but I Don't know if the company would let me use them.

 

I mean for a free mod with no profit whatsoever they really should...but I doubt that's the reality.

 

I also think April would make the perfect love interest for non nord incarnations of the dragonborn, prob if he were imperial or dominion elf, changed to fight for the rights or whatever.

 

She has a bit of Gracie from Gabriel knight one, in her personalty, who had a bit of Darla in hers, but she also got more than a bit of the princess in hers also, that's a combination I always liked.

 

Like Anton however, I also have a saving women complex. *SIGHS* I think in this case she would need saving from herself though...while at the same time shes very much the heroine in her own right but could do better and make better choices to be saved from an unworthy future. The mod would reflect that.

 

I am not so new age and pc, unimaginative and indiscriminate, that I could not make it a good mod.

 

I Understand timing, pacing and limited scope and focus on a select couple of characters, not sacrificing story for imagery, and simple shock value with out much point.

 

Playing on tensions between seeming opposites is vital, order from the perceptions of chaos, moral conflict and aesthetic principles, coming to a slow unification and understanding.

 

I think could make a worthy story.

 

You can see the logic in the mod given the two characters even the appeal of the differences, even how a story could be made lore fitting, for her to crossover.

 

If you toss in a chaotic third factor or an amoral, or enlightened one wanting to help April herself or the dragonborn and tamrel perhaps change the fate of two universes...even a daedric prince could be involved, or a divine.

 

There are other worlds than these after all.

 

Don't know if I could get legal rights to them though, but then a mod is just a interactive fan-fiction.

 

I would need the actress lines from the game though...the lg1 character model is easy enough with base game and stuff from this sight alone. more than enough.

For personal use, copyright is of no issue. Have at it if you only plan on using it for yourself. However, if you plan on sharing it here (I'm assuming that is what you want) then you cannot use assets from another game. It's not a matter of whether or not the mod is free, it's the fact you're using it. Case in point? The Metal Gear Solid 1 Unreal Engine 4 remake was recently cancelled because Konami demanded it be shut down.

 

Were they using Konami owned models or audio files? No, they made everything from scratch to try and avoid legal issues. But because they were recreating MGS1, even though it was a non-profit remake, they were remaking a game Konami owns the rights to. This is my Skywind and modding projects like it are not on the Nexus. In the very best case scenarios they are in a legal grey area. But the might of thee corporations can swing down at any time.

 

However, considering the scope of your project, you should be able to remake the character and have someone else voice her and be okay. You're not exactly remaking the game. Just don't port assets into Skyrim, and make it all yourself (or have someone help you). I know it's a bummer, but it is what it is. Modding and the law can be weird like this.

I helped remake a point and click adventre game old style, this formt is something else. Learning kit, but without her voice it just wont be april.

 

Another idea I have is a mixture of blood+ and trinity blood mechanics for vampires, though I wont make this ever. Too complicated.

 

It would be good even for moral vampires like saya and Able Nightroad, though saya's morality is highly questionable and unforgiving in my view. Poor diva.

 

Still, a follower that's a lesser vampire you feed from as an evolved vampire like a crusnik, strong enough to feed on repeatedly would be good, and I suppose they feed normal.

 

A big dark angel reaper transformation as a alt vampire lord cosmetic form with a bound weapon like able's.

 

The blood flows to you from slain victims probably non ally vampires, for this effect in vl form.

 

Would go great with better vampires and he should make such.
