LE Rebuilding Winterhold

[Colt17752]

First of all, let me say, this is a quest I have always dreamed of. We all know the story of how Winterhold got decimated, and now it is a mostly dead, lifeless town and that honestly does make it pretty interesting and unique, I sort of like the feel to it but I also feel like we should be enlisted by the towns people to rebuild Winterhold. As we do this side quests should become available, when the city is finally rebuilt (I imagine it would be a very big city with the college at the center) our character can join the military and be recognized and have all the perks that go with rank when we finally reach a certain rank we should become jarl of Winterhold and be recognized as Jarl and be able to take executive actions when quests come up that involve serious actions.

 

I know it's a huge mod idea, if I had the know how or knew what programs to use and all of that good stuff I would do it myself but I just don't. Which is why I am calling on you good citizens of Skyrim to help make this a reality.

I suggested something that may be inline with your idea a bit. Its called hearth fire home portals. Basically the mages guild guild masters room becomes the players once that quest is finished. Thus using the idea of the old morrowind portal services I suggested building portals to each of the hearth fire homes and connecting them all to a single armory to store gear. To make a massive mod like you are suggesting you need goods and services that you can not normally find in skyrim. For example, a composite forge for smithing rare weapons and items that can not be found any where else in the world. Or a Forge that lets you craft rare unique items that are vanilla in nature but you normally could not have multiple of unless you used said forge. Another idea would be a rare enchanting room that functioned similar to that of the above smithing forge idea. Another would be a rare alchemy station that lets players craft rare potions that can only be crafted there. Potion ideas should be like splash potions that can be thrown in combat. All these ideas would make a huge incentive to build a dead town up. Also, you could have flying mounts at a rare stables or something similar. You would also need shop keepers and citizens that have their own personalities as well. Or it be just like many other mods and feel dead to the player and using many generic npcs like guards with non descript dialogs. That make every thing seem robotic. Any ways hope my ideas inspire some people to make this happen. Honestly I would not mind seeing helgen rebuilt as well. I know there are a couple mods that do so. But honestly they all suck.

It would be a massive undertaking to make this happen but it would be so very worth it. Bethesda left out a lot of things that could have made this game great.
