WIP - Okains Summit

[jwbatey]

Okains Summit

Okains Summit adds a new Dwemer city in the mountains bordering Morrowind. At the urging of a Dwemer logic engine (computer), the player takes the initiative to organize excavation and rebuilding of the city. To stay lore/mod friendly, the quests attempt to use base games quests as lead-ins while minimize any permanent impact to the wider Skyrim. You'll have a chance to hire crafters and shop keeps (assistants only) from other cities to work in Okains.

 

Feedback, suggestions appreciated. (http://skyrim.nexusm...com/mods/27541/)

-------------------------------- FINDING OKAINS --------------------------------

Talk to Balimund (blacksmith) in Riften

Follow target up to Okains Summit (go East towards Morrowind, right up the mountain trail, and follow the blood)

Find key and get in Okains

Read Bob's Journal

Get in Control Center - turn on city power

Turn off security system

Get additional quests from the new quest hub

 

 

-------------------------------- DWARVEN REMNANT --------------------------------

Collect followers to help you excavate the Undercity

Any possible follower will have an option to help excavate

51 different people may be asked for help; quest allows 5 at a time

The excavation happens faster the more people are helping

First room takes 3 man-days (3 people for 1 day; or 1 person for 3 days)

Full excavation takes 60 man-days (12 in game days if you have 5 people helping)

-------------------------------- RIFTEN RABBLE --------------------------------

'Convince' the Jarl of Riften that Okains is not part of the Rift

Maybe end up paying taxes anyway

 

 

-------------------------------- MOTHER OF THE ROSE --------------------------------

Available after Arniel's Endeavor (College of Winterhold) is done

 

 

--- Other possible ideas, in order of likelihood ---

Add dwemer ghosts from previous games - http://www.uesp.net/...Stungnthumz.jpg

Hire traders

Dock out the back side of mountain to Morrowind (you can't travel to Morrowind; it's would only be for trade)

Overlapping doors (with enable/disable) to select which extensions to build

Underground ranch

Honey farm

Brewery add-on in inn

Bakery add-on in inn

Furniture store

Select which Deadra/Divine to build a temple for (option enabled after completing relevant base game quest)

Seek a court wizard from the College of Winterhold (maybe same as 'mother of the rose'?)

Seek a bard from Bard's college

Fight/help the thieves guild establish here

A rebuilt arena (like from Oblivion; maybe with spectator gambling; maybe with enable/disable obstacles; maybe with teams)

Attempt to become Emperor after either Dark Brotherhood questline (and, for lore consistency, fail. Maybe replace the Riften Jarl with an Okains citizen though, like Mjoll)

The logic engine in Okains is easily expandable by other modders. Any mod can add a quest to the OkainsQuest formlist, and the logic engine will automatically give it to the player. (once the previous quests on the list are complete)
