ThorTNS Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Hello fans of Skyrim. I'm here to talk about the mod I plan to be starting production on sometime in the future. I plan on making a mod where YOU, the player, get to become a Jarl. My team and i be creating a town,( Or just might leach off a town ) (If the town is made, no idea what the name will be, something Nordic ) it will have civilians, children, farms with animals and guards! ( All fully voiced by people I know. )What I plan on doing is making a quest line up to becoming a Jarl of this town. I really don't have a full set idea on the story behind the quests, or the quests for that matter ( Just pointing this out, I started planning this yesterday at 11 PM ). Being the Jarl means you will have to make decisions. Like keeping your Hold's economy intact, keeping your people and guards in-line, dealing with Bandit Raids,( I will put this stuff in.) ect. My team and I will also make it so there will be attempts from multiple attempts on your life. From one of your people not liking the way you run things, to another Jarl for conflicting him. Feel free to post thoughts, opinions and suggestions for the mod!If you would like to help devolpment I might be able to fit you in. PM me and I will discuss it with you. Thank you. - Thor from TNS-Gaming. Edited November 26, 2011 by ThorTNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirxazor Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Personally, I think that any town should be like this. For example, if I killed the jarl of whiterun I should become the jarl by law... or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorTNS Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I 100% agree. That's why I'm making this. I just think It would be more fun then just making it so "Kill Jarl = you Jarl". This way it makes a little more sense on becoming a Jarl, because if you killed a Jarl, I don't think the guards would just stop, they would continue to beat the s*it out of you.

jackalhead Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 You could have it be a quest the Night Mother sends you on once you finish the Dark Brotherhood quest line. She could have you work out an elaborate plot where you use deception and forgery to set yourself up as the next heir to the throne then finish up the quest by assassinating him.

This is a really good idea. As I put into my post I don't know if we will make a full, new hold. +1 dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooseDuff Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 This sounds like a great mod. Should have different ways to become Jarl. Helping the economy of the town to the point, were the people want you to be Jarl.Getting a group of bandits/mercenaries or a other group to over throw the Jarl.Buying/bribing or black mail to become Jarl. So looking forward to see what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think it would be cool to rebuild the town you were to be executed in, on advice of a high ranking guild member after you become the leader ie the Night Mother or Aela. You would start off small than slowly take over more locations in Whiterun, until you take over the city of Whiterun, and this could be done through different means like for the brotherhood you could use jackalhead's idea, or for the companions you could challenge the Jarl to combat for the throne.

jeffrobot Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hello fans of Skyrim. I'm here to talk about the mod I plan to be starting production on sometime in the future. I plan on making a mod where YOU, the player, get to become a Jarl. Being the Jarl means you will have to make decisions. Like (my edits): 1. keeping your Hold's economy intact, 2. keeping your people and guards in-line, ' 3. dealing with Bandit Raids,( I will put this stuff in.) ect. . My team and I will also make it so there will be attempts from multiple attempts on your life. From one of your people not liking the way you run things, to another Jarl for conflicting him. You realize you are talking about multiple new mechanics/systems, that will probably need to be pretty complex in order to be satisfying? This sounds like an incredibly ambitious mod. Do you guys have the experience to take this on? If this is your first mod, I would suggest going for something a lot smaller. Like maybe implementing just one of these systems, outside of the Becoming a Jarl idea. I say this because most new projects never get off the ground because they are too ambitious. I don't have any experience modding, but I have worked on a few tiny Flash games. If you guys are aware of how much work this will be and I'm being rude, my apologies.
