SSE After Life/Hell & Heaven(Sovngarde)

[Paulnareff]

Note: This idea isn't originally mine. I found someone on the internet speaking out this idea, and I thought it sounded pretty cool myself. Whether or not this idea has already posted here, I'm unsure of. Nonetheless, I'm still gonna make a request for it here.

 

As soon as your character dies, you basically respawn back at your last save point. This is the classic form of "rebirth" in RPG. But what if you could make a mod, in which when you die, you can either go to heaven(That would obviously be Sovngarde), or hell or the underworld that is described in the Elder Scrolls lore, depending on how your character contributed during your gameplay(Good - Bad).

Here are 2 examples for each scenario:

SOVNGARDE SPAWN: After you die, you spawn either outside or inside of the Hall of Valor, maybe get greeted by Tsun and is pleased to see him again. I could imagine here, that there is a small customized conversation, in which Tsun wonders if it's too early for the Dragonborn to arrive at Sovngarde. Then here, the Dragonborn could choose to be sent back, and undo that mistake that had gotten him killed in the first place. Or, the Dragonborn could just simply choose to stay (for a while) and enter the Hall of Valor where all the other Nordic Heroes are. Maybe some additional content could be added here such as:

• Customized conversations with the NPCs
• Small tasks like...Idfk, learn more of her and him, bring some food and drinks, friendly brawl fights?

Then, when the Dragonborn feels like it, he can go back to Tsun and be asked to be resurrected, thus bringing the player back to their last save point.

 

UNDERWORLD SPAWN: Okay, so I'm not sure if there is some sort of underworld in the Elder Scrolls series, so excuse me if I'm not that deep into the lore.
After you die, you spawn at what could look like a place filled with maybe Daedras or just some NPCs that represents what Hell could actually look like, like typical beings with devil horns. In this case, a cunning person comes over and welcomes you. But the friendly greetings wont last long. Since this is hell after all, and you've done some evil things, you would probably be punished and have to go through tasks to undo what you've done, before you can choose to be resurrected. In this case, maybe you'd have to pay your way back, or something, since the beings there would probably not be so friendly like those in Sovngarde.

 

I know that it could be a small waste of time, given that you just can simply respawn or have to go through all of that each time(maybe you could get the option to either go to Sovngarde/Hell or just spawn back immediately), but I think that it would give more of that, "adventurous" feeling so it isn't just like a casual "Don't worry, try again".

This is a wonderful idea. Seconded. For hell, I guess it would be Meridia's domain by default (she is the Daedra keeping the dead dead). Or a realm based on which crimes you committed (Vampire and Lycantrop would go to their own god respectively. If you messed with Azura, you could end up locked inside Moon and Star)...
