LE small island with Akavir influences

[Steevonator]

My skills are nil. just putting that out there first.

 

moving on... first I'll describe what the mod is, then how I can help, and anything else I can think of you need to know. This mod isn't even born yet, you could say. This thread is the fornication of my ideas and the feedback I get.

I want to begin working on this in 3+ months. for now, I'm putting my idea out there. It's a free forum!

 

 

The island is very small. I'm not sure what size a cell is in the construction set (before actually working on this I'm going to train hard in the set), but the island's size might be about 100x100 m. there will be 3 dungeons (1 large and 2 small) and a small settlement. There's a short quest that will review all the information we know so far about Akavir.

I'll try to describe the environment. The island is a circle, with a small mountain and an isolated pinnacle. one side of the island is a sheer cliff while the other is a slope that ends in a calm beach. at the top of the mountain is a small town, which is accessible by a long staircase that begins at the beach. there is nothing on the horizon save an almost unnoticeable sliver of land to the west. The island is unpopulated, save for trees that are very similar to the ones around Markarth.

The three dungeons I mentioned are as follows- a cave system with two entrances, and connected to the town through a tall round staircase. It opens onto the beach (both entrances) and is a symmetrical design. the second dungeon is the main temple, which will be the biggest challenge to create, and is the largest dungeon. the last dungeon is a burial site with some useful items, e.g katanas.

The story is that it was populated by the shapeshifters from Akavir, who took up human forms to train blades operatives. The small island is insignificant to the rest of the world because there are no resources or tactical benefits to its location. There is a short story about the inhabitants, and why they are gone (save for one), which I will be thinking of in the months leading up to the project's initiation.

The purpose of the mod is to increase awareness of Akavir, and to gather all currently confirmed info about the place. I also want to make my first (submitted) mod an interesting and challenging one.

 

My skills, as I said, are nil. In the following months I will be creating some small scripted areas in the construction set to practice some skills. I can say, however, that I can design a story, gather the info about Akavir and design the island and its dungeons. If you can offer me help in my training, please shout out or PM me.

 

 

So, to recap: In 3+ months, I am designing a small island populated by one of the Akaviri races to present all the facts we have about Akavir, and to get the ball rolling on Akaviri mods. Please give me ideas, direct me to tutorials and badmouth all you want :)
