My "Delilah" mod

[Predatorsgod]

I've made some progress on it, and it's definitely turning out to be something good. I'm running on a few good ideas right now, but I'm afraid I'll need some help eventually. I figure, why wait until the project is at a complete standstill?

 

This is a warm start, and I've got a plan laid out(It was the first thing I did.)

 

About my idea:

I've played the elder scrolls games most of my life, but there's one thing that's always bothered me about it. Through the levels and dungeons. In light of the rewards and experience, the game has always been distinctly lonely. Every time you plunge, every time you take an arrow, it's just you. You sleep alone, eat alone, fight alone. You know as well as I, when you build a character from the ground up, some times you just wish you could turn to the person next to you and say "Look, we did this!"

That is exactly what this mod is going to change.

"Delilah" is a companion. Not like any other, however. Sure, she'll follow you, fight with you, but instead of your mindless meat shield, she has feelings. She will get ill, sad. She'll give you advice, be it good or bad. She's a companion that instead of follow you into that cave of level 70 monsters, will stop and ask, why? Maybe she'll even stay outside. It's going to take a lot of work, and it's not happening overnight, but I'm going to work at and make this mod as diverse as it should be. "Delilah" is going to be your companion, your friend. She'll be waiting for you to play again - Every hour, every day.

The story of "Delilah":

Delilah is a Mystic elf who came to Cyrodiil to find her brother. You'll find her first searching for armor in the imperial city, having a fight with a shop keeper of the price of equipment. You'll find her again, getting rejected at the arena. Five times you'll find her, and each is an opportunity to get to know her better. If you play your cards right, and she likes you enough, she just might be waiting at the next faction you join, asking you to help her with a quest. Her story will slowly unfold, a tale of a missing, heroic boy and a family with a foggy past. Neither of you know the truth, but in pursuit of it, the truth will find you both. Where is her brother? Why did he leave? Who are her parents, and why are they in Cyrodiil? The truth will be deeper, darker, and more illuminating for you both.

 

Here's my progress:

→The introductory quest is going to be finished tomorrow

→Greeting and goodbye voice acting is finished

→3 follow up quests are jingling around in my head

 

 

Help:

→Unfortunately, I can't be any more specific than scripting quests. I don't imagine they'll be very complicated, but there will be a lot of them. Expect the use of many location triggers and Conversation scripts. At least one person to, at the very least, help me with some companion based scripts. Bottomline on scripting: You need a basic understanding, nothing too fancy.

→A few clever minds to help me work out the story. I've got it laid out, sure, but it has it's flaws.

→An axe model and texture. One handed. Probably the only new object in this mod, which will end up being an ending reward if not the final reward. I plan on adding a script to it myself. No rush for this.

→Testing, testing, testing! I need players with ideas, and lots of free time. Anyone will do for this job.

 

 

My work:

I'll be doing most of everything. I don't want to rely too much on other people with this mod, just in case any problem arises. Expect decent scripts and quests from me.

 

My team:

Me - Almost everything

My girlfriend - Voice acting
