New Huge Project: In-Depth Skyrim Romance (Looking for all kinds of pe

Hope there's some progress on this

 

I think what you can do if you really want to simplify the way this mod can be made - I have some suggestions:

 

Every potential romance can be structured the same way - special attention can be made to characters you want to spend time on, but essentially -

 

Every quest can be divided up into N phases:

Introduction - get to know - confession - relationship( the bulk of the time) - test (conflict) - Marriage - the after

 

With no more than K subphases of quest steps.

 

Every character gets this - anyone writing content for it has to adhere to something like this - writing the same structural pieces for each character. Special characters can take more, but if you do this you can pump out content quickly and take special care of other pieces.

 

You can also write follower scripts that feature the good stuff and generalize that script into something each character can have. (this is how CM partners and other companion mods with many characters are made)

 

I hope this helps. I'd love to really develop relationships in this game in a meaningful way, but it's very hard to write and implement this maturely.

 

Good luck!

Hey!

 

I'm not too sure how this is going or whether it is still active, but if so, I would love to help in any way I can. I finish my college term in a couple of weeks and will have heaps of free time in which to help out. I'm not an experienced modder, but I would be willing to learn if needed. I am happy to write scripts or story lines or do anything else that needs to be done.

 

I agree that it would be easiest to structure the romance the same way, but maybe if you could change the stage at which certain romantic rewards are given (i.e. kissing, sex, marriage, etc) depending on the NPC's personality and history. So maybe some characters would be open to beginning the relationship with casual 'fun' and then feelings develop later, whereas others might fall in love and/or want to take things slowly.

 

I think that same-sex relationship should definitely be available, because so many people would love it and its always nice to not leave anyone out. But again, each NPC should have a sexuality, and maybe some could possibly be swayed one way or the other if the player was loving enough? Hehe, just some fun ideas.

 

I remember being quite disappointed in Skyrim when not only was the romance so pathetic, but that you had no way of developing any kind of relationship with your follower or housecarl or general citizens. I love to make friends in-game, as well as finding a lover or two. So when I found this, I was just so excited for the end result.

 

If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know :)

Hey!

 

If you're still looking for people, I could write and contribute with voices, also, I could be in it for advices :P

I'm gonna be serious, though, I am actually not a voice actor, but people have told me my voice is good and I am pretty good at acting in the right time.

PM me if you're still looking, and from there we could exchange skype if necessary.

 

[bUMP]

 

This is a very interesting initiative, and I'd love to see this in my game :P

I don't know if this has been said before but having them do something as well, usually in games it seems that the player is doing everything but the NPC trying to impress and flirt with the player as well would be cool, as well as the player could say things they like and maybe the NPC could get them these sometimes.

 

Good luck anyway :)
