SSE More Blackreach Content (quests, dungeons, player homes, friendly npc's, etc...)

[OpenWorldAddict]

Blackreach is one of my favorite areas to explore in Skyrim\. I have always been fascinated with underground realms in fantasy worlds, and Blackreach is no exception. The problem is that you run out of content in Blackreach rather quickly, and there are only a handful of dungeons in Blackreach, and most of them are quite small. On top of that, there are only a few quests related to the area to begin with. There really isn't anywhere in Blackreach you can make a base of operations out of while you explore, except Sinderion's Field Laboratory, if the containers there are safe, which I don't know.

 

So, yeah, I would really like to see more content in Blackreach, and I hoping mod authors can provide that content.

I totally agree with this, and I'd probably try to make something if my screen resolution wasn't too low to click the "OK" box when using the creation kit. Blackreach always seemed like it could be so much more, considering how huge it is and how many buildings there are. I wouldn't be surprised if they had more planned during development and decided to scrap the idea. But yeah, I could totally see someone modding in some kind of quest to restore Blackreach, something along the lines of one of the falmer slaves asking for help and whatnot.

Yes please!

Agreed; personally, I kind of hoped for another Dwemer ruin to explore after 'clearing' the four entrances to Blackreach (kind of like a boss dungeon with hard puzzles, etc--like a more dangerous Atherium dungeon with an equally strong reward). There could be a token located at the end of each ruin but before the blackreach door (so you couldn't just enter thru one and use blackreach to collect the rest of the tokens) and all four are needed to enter the last mega-ruin. I wouldn't even care if you didn't get anything after, I'm just a fan of those ruins and wish there were 5x more of them.

 

As a side, I have a blackreach railroad mod somewhere, but never booted it up yet.

Agreed!

Bethesda (as it seems) had much more plans for Blackreach. Like the lore is "Dragonborn, the whole world is hoping for your success, go to the ancient dwemer underground CITY, in which you'll find a descripting (whatever) device to read scrolls!" And spoiler: it is implemented as "go to big, empty dungeon, pull a few levers, get the scroll out of... thing, and come back", simple fetch an item mission.
But they made the mysterious books, giant and a freaking dragon in disco ball, which you won't find unless someone tells you.

Now Zenimax shows western part of Skyrim with it's Blackreach, youtube lore experts tells lots of stuff about Blackreach. We do need a mod to expand it.

 

Like, Beths "explanation" for the lack of content is "it collapsed". What if, some college mage, or wild minded dwemer expert (expelled from college) asks you (dovakin) to help him/her to excavate the silent city in Blackreach (similar to Azhidals dungeon in Solstheim), with all pay for workers, wait a week, then clear some parts, pay more (maybe build something the Heartfire way or hire some goons for patrols and guarding outpost... camp). Maybe some items will requre an expert look at, so you should bring them to someone in college or Solstheim... all sort of minor quest can fit.

During excavation may find a central "computer" to make your own Automatron Protectron similar as Flesh golem in Shiveling Isle DLC for Oblivion.
