Ambitious Project: Modders Needed, Will Compensate

[SushiRush]

So my idea is less of a Skyrim Mod and more of an entirely different game running on the Creation Engine. Akin to DayZ and Arma.

 

 

This is the basic concept:

When you create a new save with this .esp active, there are no quests, cities, towns, or NPCs. (Other than animals).

You spawn in a random location, with nothing on your person other then some clothes and a dagger.

There is no HUD. Not even a crosshair, not even action prompts. (Press E to Open etc)

The map will be replaced with a static 2D picture similar to Oblivion, and there would be no indication of where the player is. The player would have to find a landmark to get his bearings.

We would include a Hunger/Thirst/Sleep mod, or create our own.

Dragons would either be disabled, or be extremely rare and powerful.

 

The objectives of the mod would be to survive, explore, loot, and ultimately find a safe shelter. (We would place cabins, dilapidated houses, and old forts throughout the world that the player can claim as their own)

We could also very rarely spawn a follower like a dog or human that the player can recruit.

 

Obviously there is not much depth at this moment, but once we get the core mod working we can think about other things. For example:

Campfires/Tents

Damage multipliers

More sophisticated healing system (Crippled limbs)

Option for permanent death

Timescale adjustments

Carrying capacity adjustment

Adding clutter to the map

Adding lore (Found journals)

Rare/Legendary animals to hunt

Drug effects

Skill level times

Trophy cases for animal kills

etc.

 

Ultimate goal of the mod is to create a realistic depiction of surviving in a harsh, alien environment. Ideally, the mod could be turned on and off simply by activating and deactivating the .esp.

 

If any modders are interested in helping out with this project, post here and we'll exchange contact information. My hope is to find some people that are willing to work on this for their own pleasure, but compensation is not out of the question, just contact me. You don't have to be very skilled, as most of the work requires no scripting and simply consists of editing the map in the

creation kit.

 

Also, if you're not a modder feedback on this idea would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
