Ttown Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) This is my idea for a mod based a lot on the movie Highlander. It would start as a quest. You would meet an npc that looks suspiciously like Sean Connery. He would go on to tell you about how you are a highlander and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. But really well written BLAH. Maybe a few little side quests / training. There would be roving NPC's "Highlanders" and you would have to fight them. Because apparently there can be only one. It would be great if before you dueled to the death with each highlander you had a conversation. Each Highlander you meet would have a story to tell about himself maybe. Would be great if the npc would comment on how many highlanders you have killed. For example the npc could say. ( You are a powerful Highlander, I see you defeated Jarkmear and maybe 10 other highlanders) Or whatever I am sure there are far more intelligent people that could write some nice chit chat for this. Random thoughts: The modders could take advantage of the dragon soul absorption mechanic and visuals. Could also ad a menu entry similar to dragon souls collected . Except it would say Highlanders Defeated. Each Highlander defeated should make you stronger. Not sure how this would be implemented. And easy way would be each Highlander give you a perk point. Or maybe have an active effect that increases with each kill. Not sure about this. I think there should be a finite amount of Highlanders. Like 17 or so. So eventually you could be the one and complete the quest. Reward? Have the Highlander npc's vary in difficultly and drop unique items. ----- I have no modding abilities... this is an Idea I hope someone pics up and runs with. Thanks.

ryanwh Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Good to see I'm not the only one who took a soul in front of a dragon word and thought about Highlander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexNord Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) I can get behind this if the NPC that kicks off the questline has the worst Sean Connery accent imaginable. Also isn't there a name in the movies for the 'chosen ones' because they're not all highlanders. Edit: Looked it up lol, they are simply called immortals.

gangrel6 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I would sooo love to see this. There's already a Highlander katana: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12684 It would be great if you could slay other immortals using only this weapon (which would also attract decapitation as the only way of defeating your foes). And while absorbing their power, your character could use Christopher Lambert's voice line, taken directly from the movie score, and say "there can BE only one". Another approach to the questline would be that you are in fact immortal (cannot die whatsoever) unless another immortal takes your head. Other creatures in Skyrim cannot harm you. The prize could then be regaining mortality (cause, who wants to live forever, right?) and maybe a boxful of sweetrolls ;) Anyhow, I strongly support the ideas in this thread and hope some talented modders will take the challenge...

mpzancanaro Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I just thought about this mod and I'm glad I was not the only one to do so. You described exactly what I wanted. I hope it is done someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasker80 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yesterday I did an all day long Highlander the Series marathon. This morning I woke up and the first thing that came into my mind is A Highlander Mod. I am actually pretty shocked that there is no mod for this. I can not imagine it would be very hard for someone with the moding skills to make it. Few Ideas I would add to the list. The Buzz: The term used by fans of the series. The buzz is the feeling that comes over immortals when another of their kind is near. This would be the only way a player would know where the NPC is. Perhaps the buzz would add a new Icon to the compass that shows the general direction the npc is. Include the Watchers. The secret organization tasked with documenting the lives of immortals. Perhaps the player stumbles on to a watchers journal at which point starts a new questline. That could help or hinder the player. If the player dies a mortal death at the hands of a regular npc. They would die like in vanilla skyrim, but instead of starting over they go into the wait/sleep window and wake up refreshed. perhaps a debuff is on them, like one handed is 50% effective for a short time. A new Shout is added just for the giggles, when activated the player yells. "There can be only one!" it could act like a stun on other immortals. When the player becomes the one, The theme by Queen should play as they endure the final quickening. Ohh god I wish I knew how to mod I would make this!
