LE Thieves Guild Immersion

[tesprogrammer]

As most of you already know, Bethesda has a reputation of giving lame quest rewards - they're extremely boring and superficial.... And so is the case with the thieves guild: after completing a billion jobs for Delvin/Vex, becoming a Nightingale and being nominated for the Thieves Guild BOSS, what do you get? Oh, a darker version of TG Armor (that you are already familiar with because the guild leaders use) with stronger enchantments, and a Guild chest with the "spoils". Other than that, your guild members still treat you like s*** with perhaps a few random lines of dialogue said by Delvin stating you're the Guild Boss. Other than that you still get the same pay for normal jobs, you can't decide who gets hired or fired, and you have absolutely NO control of what your guild is actually doing (Delvin and Vex speaking of their shipments and transactions? Forget it, you're still Bryinjolf's lackey according to the smartass at the Flagon). We know that Skyrim isn't the most rewarding RPG experience out there (they watered down story, skills and overall gameplay from its predecessors) but please... You become the BOSS!!! The motherf***ing leader! But it doesn't feel like it. Not. One. Bit. It would be nice to see a mod which actually lets you:

 

1. Be respected. But this is easy, changing the guild members default dialogue lines to the ones used during the guild leader ceremony should be enough. You are the boss, and they must respect you.

2. Recruit new crew members, and fire existing ones. Your Guild, your Rules. You can even fire the other guild leaders, promote them or demote them.

3. Send members on quests to steal. You send them on a quest, and they actually go there and steal from someone (they don't just vanish and return a week later, it wouldn't be realistic), and there's a chance they fail or succeed. If they succeed, you get your cut. If they fail or kill anyone in a mission, you can ban him from the guild or take his entire pay. Or maybe send him to work as the barman's assistant at the Flagon.

4. Having "Special" High-ranked thief missions for you and the other leaders. Such as stealing a rare artifact from a Jarl in a room with heavy security. Stealing treasure from a dungeon, stealing a treasury house/bank and other missions that require skill as a professional thief. These missions can net you 4000-8000 gold as reward, and they're radiant. You team up with the other leaders or go alone (it's up to you).

5. Deciding your percentage of the profits. That's right, you can be as abusive as taking 30% of a member's "salary".

6. More rival gangs.

7. Be able to slap Maven in the face. She deserves it.

 

These are the basics. Of course, there's a lot of room for improvement, such as maybe adding new guild bases, drug dealing but that would require more time and effort.
