Total Immersion NPC plans

[Ibsen3]

Hi folks,

 

Following this request: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=61162&hl= which has now received a fair amount of interest thankfully, from various sources, I was wondering how people might respond to going a little further.

 

I will shortly have five sound sets available for brucevayne's 'Oblivion Sound Sets' mod and I wondering how people might feel about pursuing this idea of having 'Total Immersion NPCs' a little further.

 

To outline what I mean by this: a 'Total Immersion NPC' uses brucevayne's mod to comment on events in-game but is itself a recruitable NPC with its own skin and own abilities. I presently have help for working on these things for Anaster (my fifth NPC), including his spells, which are being developed over on the 'Silgrad Tower' forums. Although Anaster has his own diary and will have his own influence on quests besides his own sub-quests, future 'Total Immersion NPCs' would be more flexible for modders to use. So, once skinned and tooled-up with skills and objects, I could therefore work with quest modders on introducing these characters into quests. They would not be tied to any particular quest so they could be used again and again if feasible, unless one of us came to a decision that the NPC needed to be 'killed off' in a scripted event. Anyway, I could provide any further dialogue needed in order to make the character come alive in whichever mod they were used in.

 

Besides the very-soon-to-be-released Anaster files, I presently have four more characters that could be adapted in this fashion:

1. Jeremiah - a Paladin NPC (originally derived from 'the Hammerites' of the Thief game series as a Missionary in Cyrodiil)
   
2. Ja-Kha'iit-myr - A Khajiit Rogue / Assassin (with lore-friendly Khajiti language and background)
   
3. Borrodin - A Magic-Using Knight (whose ancestor was cast out of the Psijic Order and yet he retains some of their powers)
   
4. Markynaz Kyndrulhu - A Renegade Dremora (who, when shamefully captured by Imperials, underwent a revelation during his captivity that made him an outsider to both Dremorans and the Tamrielic races alike)
   

Either PM me or post here if you're interested. Any comments appreciated.
