Antaran5 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Just a few things i'd like to see done once the creation kit is released. 1. Farming : The ability to buy and run a farm, Initial purchase would include the basics (House exterior with empty interior, Windmill, Barn and land fenced off). Upgrades could be bought that will add the usual furnishings for the house, possibly animals as well for the barn, an actual working mill that can be used to turn wheat into flour for additional cooking recipes and if it'll be possible the ability to buy seeds for a cheap price in order to grow foodstuff on the land and sell for a profit, making Farming a viable option for money making. 2. Smithing : Same sort of principle as Farming but with with the appropriate changes made, Gathering Ore (or buying it), smelting it to ingots then creating items to sell. now this is possible within the game as it is now however it's not a viable way to make money or use as a carreer choice. Again, buy the house/hut with option of decor upgrades, have a smelter, tanning rack, full anvil and it's trimmings, workbench, grindstone etc, with the possible addition of contracts, either people come to you and request things for which your paid for or you recieve mail via the courier for contracts or whichever would be possible to do. Ore nodes would have to increase their output a bit in order to make it worthwhile as well. 3. With the above 2 things integrated i think it would be awesome if we could start our own little village, maybe start of as one of the above and as you progress in that field you get the option of people wanting to move in around your Farm/Smithy and small homes spring up (NPCs build them, you build them/place them or they just appear somehow with the aforementioned NPCs living their with their families or alone etc.) Slowly but surely you end up with a nice village to call home. 4. Lastly another profession related to the towns that have a dock, Shipping Manager. You buy a small office on the docks and recieve orders every so often that you have to fill and supply a ship with in order for the ship to sail off to deliver the goods, perhaps 1 order per game week giving time to fill the order and send it on it's merry way to wherever. I can imagine that something like these might seem simple additions to an outstanding game but i'm sure there's a lot involved in making them happen and woould appreciat eit if a team of modders could do something like this at some point when it's possible. Please post a comment if you like the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cppcooper Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I am not even bothering to read the post.. Pick a better thread title. this is the best way for your thread to get buried in the 400+ pages of requests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedgamer Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 yeah i got bored just reading the title, the giant mess of words after that just killed me to read half of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildDragonfly Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I agree with your ideas, they sound wonderful! However I certainly agree about the title... having a descriptive title will certainly help you get notice for your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiel Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So your talking of a "Be A Jarl mod"/Citizens mod?I think it would be awesome, The only hard bit would be the building generation as you'd need to find a bit of land empty and big enough for it.

Antaran5 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) First off i'll apologise for the title being a little bleh, however i was unsure as to call it. Smithing/Farming/Jobs/Career or something similar would bring out those flamers who "work all day and want to relax in a game not work in a game as well" if you catch my meaning. @ Sagenth and Icedgamer : If you didn't bother reading the ideas then why post a reply at all? fair enought he title was uninteresting but it drew you in to post in this thread non the less. One last thing, if your both good modders then you should appreciate the amount of info i prefer to provide instead of simply putting "i want to be a Smith/Farmer". It's not so much a Jarl mod as the part about the village building around you is merely optional depending on what can be done in CK and such. I just think the game lacks the full potential for players who would like to start out as a Blacksmith/Farmer or other job before the main questing. Think of it as hiding out after escaping execution, while your working as a Smithy/Farmer time naturally passes and you eventually build up a nice amount of money before starting out on the quests, and a small base in which to work from.The Smithy wouldn't need a lot of ground space in order to get started, i'm sure there's enough around Whiterun. As for the Farm that understandable would require a bit more land and thats gonna be harder to sort out with it needing to be within close range to a town/village in order to be profitable (think of yourself in this position, you farm for days/weeks/months and last thing you want to do is travel to the other side of the country in order to sell your produce).One last thing i just thought of as well, in order for this to be fairly realistic instead of buying the Smithy/Farm you'd have to work for someone else as an apprentice to start out with and build up some money from that, maybe the owner leaves it to you in his/her will after a set number of days working for them or something like this, otherwise it would require questing to gain the capitol to buy it (negating the working while hiding out idea) or the dreaded console cheat for gold. Anyways the ideas are there and tbh i'm hoping for a realistic approach to it in order to enhance the game rather than it being classed as cheating or not lore friendly.
