padinha Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hello everybody! My first post on the forum! = D Sorry for my English.I decided to write here my support for the initiative to make a romance mod !!! I think I will not be much help (unfortunately) since I dont know anything about "mod" (scripting, etc). I'm loving the suggestions of stories. =)I just wanted to ask, if possible, don´t make the person being only an elf or Khajiit, Argonian ... er .. I personally prefer humans. Nothing against the other races, but to get involved, I think the humans are most attractive. (That's just a matter of taste). If possible it would be nice to have option. (please? *puppy eyes* ) I love stories where the couple at first hates each other for some reason, and then fall in love. Or stories of forbidden love (my favorite). Stories with rivals, to make things more interesting. I was never fanatical about games. Now with Skyrim, I came back to play. (after years) I do not know what CK can or can not do. But it would be nice to have more dialogue. More interaction between the characters. Interaction is very important. With the CK is possible to create new poses?Poses that would enable a kiss, a hug and etc. It would be nice that the characters could also make love, have children and raise a family. You know, like in the movies. Then people say, "why sex?" "This is not porn"People, sex is an important part of life. I don´t see any problem. It would be interesting and more "real." If you know what I mean. I always write this kind of scenes in my stories. It is possible to create a story that has no end? hehehe Because I was thinking .... and then? I would not want to get to the end. lol Skyrim loses a little in regard to interaction and romance. (big time) I kill dragons, people watch, some call me dragonborn. I then believe that Aella, Vilkas, Farkas and the others heard the news ..... but when I talk to them .. it seems like nothing happened ...you know.. o.O I have not had the opportunity to marry someone in the game (still do not have the amulet of Mara), but I am not excited anymore after reading the reviews about how disappointing marriage in skyrim is ....=/ I still have a lot of places to explore and things to do, since I started playing not long ago. Oh it would be nice a heroic, fearless character ....*_* Well, I've said too much. I'll be following your work since I can´t wait to finally download this mod.. ;)And I also hope that you understood my English. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelicOne7144 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm an experienced writer, been doing it since I was a child - been writing for about 21 years - and I excel at dialogue and story generation. If you have any dead ends with basic concepts, send them my way. As well, I'll start setting a series of outline demographics, for universal, gender/sexuality/race specific, and factionally/skill based encounters(this should work well for numerous people, based on specific roleplaying preferences), and will start to flesh them out over the next week or two. With any luck, by the end of February, I should have at least a dozen different combination and stand-alone romantic companion questlines fleshed out to a good working point, which I intend to include dialogue options and responses. Things are hectic for me, personally and professionally, at the moment, so be patient with me, but I will do everything in my power to give you some solid, well-written content over the next few weeks, and will continue to work at it as things progress. Would you prefer I take the diffuse approach, and continue to work all quest outlines at once, or focus on one at a time, in a divide and conquer fashion? Send me a message, and let me know. I love this stuff, and am happily available for more than just the romance quests, if someone wants to work on a great story questline. I already have a basic storyline for a quest that involves potential romances, but which isn't specifically focused on that. I'll update on that when I'm ready to release some of the storyline content, to give you an idea of the actual story. This will include introduction of some of the characters, their attitudes and races, and so forth. Because of the type of writer I am, this will be incredibly complex, and will include character development that will be conditionally dependent, e.g., you have to spend some time sitting in a tavern having a meal with them, or have to bunk down in a remote camp for a night and sit around the fire, perhaps even if you cook, versus sitting around long enough for them to cook - dialogue induced, based on character preferences(perhaps they've pointed out their favorite food in a past conversation, and if you cook that for them, it triggers character-building dialogue) - it will advance your relationship with them, via the revealing of some crucial and deeply personal piece of their past, endearing them to the character, based on interaction. This should give some indication of what I mean when I say complex. As a person who has extensive experience with people, and a wide spread of personal interactions with others, I believe I'm quite accurate when I say that relationships aren't simple, they're incredibly complex, just like any given person's unique emotions. I believe that romantic quest-lines should reflect these subtleties and nuances, and think that this community - being the best modding community, of any, for any game, in the world - deserves a better quality of story-telling, and with the popularity of companionship/romantic mods on the Nexus and LL, this is a perfect place to start. As well, should anyone here have what they feel is a good story, but they aren't what they'd consider "linguistically gifted," I'll be happy to give a face-lift to someone else's content or dialogue, and will gladly take requests. I'll also be happy to do male voice acting, and will work with anyone who wishes to collaborate. Happy modding, and I hope to hear back from everyone.

AngelicOne7144 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Going to let everyone know that I've officially penned a detailed outline of the first mod character on our private development forum, and I believe it will likely be moving forward. A little information, though I'm not leaking my .PDF yet, so I'll just give a little taste without giving away too much. The Rose of Valenwood(tentatively). Companion Name: Miravel Tel'Nar Race: Bosmer of Aldmeri descent Age/Appearance: Youthful, immortal, and approximated to be over 8000 years old. She came to Tamriel before the first Exodus of the Aldmeri, but still after the building of Ada-mantia - the Adamantine or Direnni Tower, depending on the Age. Disposition/Ethos: Very much a "good" character, extremely compassionate, and reserved from a long life, much of which was spent alone, in the remote places across Nirn. Isn't a big fan of the Thalmor... at all. Sensitive, when her guard comes down, which will take work. Skills/Proficiencies: Accomplished archer and marskman, having spent millenia hunting game to feed herself across all the provinces of Tamriel. Gifted healer, with some minor skill in destruction magics and illusion, having at one time trained with the Psijics both before and after their move to Artaeum. Spirituality: Worships Auri-El(Akatosh), Mara(goddess of love, fertility, and compassion and wife of Auri-El), Kynareth(due to her close bond with nature), and Stendarr(God of Mercy). Also studied in the Dibellan arts, but is not overly reverant of Dibella. Miravel intercepts a dispatch from the Thalmor intended to reach the embassy in Skyrim, regarding a powerful artifact they wish to acquire. On the chance that it truly exists, and is capable of doing what the Thalmor believe, she sets off immediately for Skyrim from Valenwood, the Thalmor's agents hot on her heels at every turn. She gives them a fair chase before being cornered, and finding herself exhausted from a long fight against a large detachment of Altmer. Do you have the conviction and strength to aid the Rose of Valenwood? This is just a taste, and the character is already fully realized, just pending quest details and dialogue(which will be INCREDIBLY COMPLEX AND EXTENSIVE). I have made mention repeatedly of how dialogue, particularly with companions, is either non-existent or fails entirely. My characters and stories are set to shatter that trend, and I guarantee a character that you'll feel compelled to protect when the arrows fly, and blades flash, or you'll bet sent a full refund of your hard-earned Septims. Not for the intellectually void. If you like dialogue like "wan fuk mi?," or "I'm sworn to carry your burdens," this mod probably isn't for you. That said, prepare yourselves for the Rose of Valenwood! Edited February 9, 2012 by Archangel7144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXGhostReaverXx Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 @Archangel7144 Looking forward to that, seems like a really well thought character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
