LE Level XP for completing Quests

[Krumbotor]

Hi Guys,

 

I absolutely love Skyrim and I want to thank all the great Modders for their marvellous mods and ideas, that brought me back to Skyrim after I had quit playing half a year ago. I played Skyrim over 100 hours back then and yet but explored just a third of it. But then on thing dissapointed me so much, that I lost the interest in the game: Questing becomes kind of unnatractive if you are over level 50 and have maxed out Enchanting, Alchemy and Smithing. With the respective skills you can craft the most powerful gear that let the most quest rewards look like worthless trinkets.

 

So here comes my Mod idea:

Whenever you complete a quest you should gain level experience at the scale of the experience you get when a skill advances from the the same level as the players general level to the next.

 

Example:

You char is level 50 and you complete any quest. As additional quest reward your level experince rises as if you had improved any skill from level 50 to 51. I think that would largely motivate the player living all the little and the big stories of skyrim and make it unnecassary to waste time in grinding skills.

I think this mod wouldn't be too hard to make: You could just trigger the default experience-gain-event when the complete-quest-event is triggered. As for balance, the modder would have to sort out if the experience gained is too much or too less. I dont know if this mod might so easily be done for the tasks in the Miscellaneous section of the Journal. Another idea would be to add a new skill, that has no graphic display in the skills menu and is always set at the players level. Then you could manually add the improvement of the skill as a quest reward for every quest (I know, that would be a lot of tedious work). The advantage of this way would be, that also the misc task could be rewarded.

I have already installed a Mod, that improves all my unskilled skills automaticaly, when I'm using my main skills, but my suggestion might be somewhat more fitting in the whole character development system of skyrim and would be just, what is common in every other RPG.

Unfortunately I have no time to familiarize with modding, but I guess, I'm not the only one who would love such a Mod. I hope there might be some dauntless Modder who stands up to this challange ^^ I 'm willing to help where I can, but as I said, I have no time to get into Skyrim Modding deeply. If someone is interested and/or want to discuss this idea, please send me a pm or comment on this topic

 

May the gods be with you
