LE Replayability Mod - Mostly Dragon-centric

[plunket]

Here are a few things that I think would add a lot of richness and replayability to the game. Some of them are in existing mods but not all.

 

Dragons

 

1. Dragon eggs. Found only in lairs on the map. Used in potion making or as an ingredient for a high-level spell. Kept in an owned home and heated, they will hatch into dragonlings (as a follower).

2. Dragonlings fed daily will grow and remain friendly and can eventually become mounts. Unfed dragonlings abandon the player.

3. Lootable/craftable dragon teeth and claws. Dragonbone/claw/tooth weapons.

4. Random dragon attacks vary re: dragon size and age, but dragons on the map should, if unmolested, grow to titanic size and present a huge challenge to the player, regardless of level.

5. A single dragon should be a PROBLEM for locals. Its in-town attacks should render stores temporarily closed for repairs or even rebuilding. Large dragons should attempt to steal away with horses or maidens.

6. Dragons should have random, lore-friendly names; this can be easily scripted by having three lists of one-syllable words (as with shouts) and having the AI choose one from each list. With three short lists you could have thousands of unique names.

7. Greater variety of dragon color and breath weapons. Wingless variety? Multi-headed? Skeletal? Mounted by Dragon Priests or Draugr Deathlords maybe?

 

Giants

 

1. Variable sizes, with the maximum being larger than vanilla.

2. Variable appearance. Females if possible.

3. Bands or clans of them, vs. 1 or 2

4. Mountain giants, valley giants, cave giants, fire giants, coastal/sea giants, etc. - different looks and abilities.

5. They should run raids from time to time.

 

Water

 

1. Underwater combat - daggers, at least.

2. Boats that move. Amphibious viking-style raids, solo or with followers.

3. Mermaids & Sirens

 

Random

 

1. Druid path/spells

2. Do more stuff in Sovngarde! Duels, etc. - hunting too (why are there no animals in Sovngarde? The best and biggest should be there, it should be rife with challenge and recreation)

3. Liches

4. Learn and play music

5. Snakes. Just snakes.

6. Some sort of something for players who become Thane of Everywhere.

7. Marriage should be more than cooking and the family store.

8. Adoption & Reproduction

9. High King Ulfric

10. Driders

 

What do you think? Too ambitious?
