ihateregisteringeverywhere Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm not as certain as you are what his hopes might have been when he posted his request, but my personal guess is that he simply hoped his requested would be granted and the mod made :). Anyway, sorry for jumpin' you, chaotic good and all that, you know... But in case you'd like my honest opinion - Would such a mod apeal to me? Mostly not. Would I install it? IIt's possible. Would it be of any value for the comunity? I think that roleplayers could find it fun, also the possibility has a certain realism value. Let's face it "The cruelty of men is as wonderous as peru". Slavery exists to this day. In conclusion should the mod be made? I don't see a reson why shouldn't it. It's not forcing anyone to download, even if you would download it wouldn't even force you to be evil/cruel, therefore even if the subject itself is touchy the mod itself wouldn't realy propagate violence, racism, xenoophoby, fascism or anything like that. Mostly because there are also other moral POW to consider. The enslaved people might've been simply killed otherwise (for example). Or anything, the roleplayer using this mod could actualy try to help theese enslaved people. Have you never heard stories of friendly farm/slave owners that acted like a family? But the final question is: will it be made? This would be a rather large project, the subject although by my logic neutral is touchy and could be subject to flaming. So no, probably not.

exanimis Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 But the final question is: will it be made? This would be a rather large project, the subject although by my logic neutral is touchy and could be subject to flaming. So no, probably not. I have to agree with you on that. I think a better way to handle this mod would be to allow the player to hire NPC's I requested that a while back in the hopes that I could hire NPC merchants to work in my homes. You must admit that just by mentioning slavery or the idea of becoming a slave trader is going to cause problems that will hinder progress to any mod.

lolassassin101 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 well for what I was hoping, well I have suggested many other things (one has been "granted" yet I am unsure to what stage the necromancer guild (a working one tyriel was working on) is complete) yet sure the words "slavery" "slaver trader" maybe "hunder" things yet I really didn't hope anything for it, just that vampire RPers may find it useful as they need blood or even the famrers may find it abit useful to get workers, and giving poor people or prisoners a home which they only need to work for is, a sort of kind thing and I didn't mention anything about beating your prisoner/slaver (w/e u want to call them, hmm maybe jim ^^). the subject slavery is a very touchy one as when the word Slave is used people think "torture" or "inequality", but some may see that some of them may have been in worse conditions or given a "ticket" to freedom (where prisoners are conserned).

ihateregisteringeverywhere Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ah, yes, catle!(vampire slaves :D) Those were in morowind too, Necromancers could perhaps use slaves for different nefarious ends as well :). Not farmers though, slavery's forbiden in cyrodiil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolassassin101 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 why would the farmer tell the passing guard of his "ilegal" work force? sure could be a twist like every X days you need to pay the guards (if your wealthy) or hide your work force, and it would give low levels saves some cash (since guilds dont give it out and 1/3 of each kill is not looted for X amount of people).if you over hear Dranas Liethri and Hillod the outlaw they talk about slavery in morrowind was abolished and they also talk about solstheim.

Kusumura Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well, story-line roleplaying has brought up a number of interesting lines for me.. One made my character into a sadistical cannibal intent on capturing and eating the hearts of all Elven-like races xD. Like lolassassin101 said, I'd swap a sword for a Cat O' Nine Tails any hour of the day, seven days of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varen Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Haha I like this idea, and if anyone is offended by it just remember that its just a game and not real life (If you view it as real life go for a looong walk outside) so this gets a definate thumbs up from me as I have wished there was a mod that lets you do things like this many times. If you really have a problem with slavery then just remember that big mods sometimes use it eg. OOO adds slave camps where Dunmer keep Argonians in pens :wink: so yeah.. oh and I'm not having a go at everyone that dosnt like slavery but this is just a game so maybe if it is released you can spend your time buying the slaves then freeing them so you dont feel bad ;D Maybe you could get attached to one so they dont want to be released and become a friend, how would you fancy "Argonian Slave" as a friend guys? :D this post does not promote slavery in anyway :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainge Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Okay, too much to read. All I want to know, is this getting made or what? I would really like a mod like this, add a little realism to the times. Morrowind only just made it illegal (didn't they?) so there would still be plenty.

That was Ihateregestering not me. Well I seem many people ARE insterested and do not seem to find it insteresting =P I guess you weren't all right exanimis, but still I think many people have stayed away from this topic as they might feel it unnerving or upsetting.
