LE rebuild the dark brotherhood mod idea, in detail

[GlitterBeast326]

so i have a problem(shocker) that i know a great way to fix. the problem, is that the dark brotherhood is broken, sure, it has been broken for a while, but you are the listener, and the pretender astrid is dead, and yet, you seem content to just radiant quest the dark brotherhood into the void without fixing it, it isnt right, and we can do better.

but every time i try a new dark brotherhood mod that claims to fix it, lets be honest, they are all a bit s#*!, the voice acting is of, or its too easy, or too tedious or the voice acting is awful(cough* cough* brotherhood of old* cough* cough*) or the storyline is unfocused, or its unfinished or any other brand of crappy, dont get me wrong, each of the mods had elements that were good, and im sure people did their best, after all we arent a super rich organization with limitless resources like bethesda, but i thi k i have come up with a way to make a "rebuild the brotherhood" mod that can be somewhat simple to put together in comparison, has minimal voice acting, builds on the existing story, isnt too tedious and isnt too easy,

but i need help, i am not a modder, i have ideas bursting out of me, but i need a person/people that can mod quests, create npcs, build playerhomes and essentially take my ideas and make them a reality

 

im gonna post the entire idea here, becuase i dont much care if you help me make it, or take it and make it your own, but id like to help, so hmu if you want, excuse the typos, i wrote this half asleep on an extremely old tablet in the middle of the night barely awake, with awful autocorrect, so it needs help, lol

 

OK, so after you finish where you hang your enemy's head, you essentially end up in the most anticlimactic ending ever, the brotherhood is moved, and has a listener, but is still in ruins, and all you do about it is radiant quest your way into the void I stead of fixing it, this isn't good enough

Goals
1. name 4 speakers to reform the black hand
2. give each speaker a silencer
3. build up to a sanctuary in most major holds
4. each sanctuary will eventually have one of each ofo the following,
• speaker50
• silencer30
• matron25
• murderer0
• slayer5
• eliminator10
• Assasin15
• executioner20
(numbers are examples, but to cut down the tediousness, it can be cut down)
5. have a vampire, a werewolf, an argonian, a mage, and each will sell things, the mage will sell tomes and poisons, and train a mage skill, an archer a dual wielder, in other words, a wide variety of people
6. a pomote fom wihin sysem, where they earn ranks by Going on contracts with you(number of contracts required for advancement are above)
7. try to make it so that you can move aventus to a sanctuary and make him seen to be training to be an assasin which he says he wants, also a childs assasins armor
8. try to get sithis armor mod as a replacer for existing shrouded armor

youll get messages from a ghost courier, called message from the void
that will lead you to the location of a journel in a randomized dungeon, the journel will have the location of the next abandoned sanctuary and the password
youll earn money doind the quests for nazeer and the radiant quests and use that money to fix up the sanctuary

then, you will sleep, and awaken with a message popping up on your screen, saying you had a vision from the night mother, (use a cut of her voice with the message saying ?(goooooo...) of a murderer with the void in their soul, murdering someone in cold blood,
and an ability, (mothers calling) that you sneak up to them and use on them that compells them to go to the abandoned shack , they will go, and you will fast travel there, and give them the same choice astrid gave you, but the victims will spawn by themselves, be unnamed(offering to the void(or similar generic name)), and be covered in a kidnappers hood, tied up, and they will kill one or several, and you will offer them a place in the family, then give them instructions to the sanctuary and the password, when next you go there, they will be dressed as assasins of their skillset, be in their areas, and be named (murderer______) as is their rank, they will also be a follower, if they follow you, they will gain rank by the number of contracts you do with them, once they level up you will go through the same process again, until you have recruited and leveled one of each rank, then, then your personal involvement in recruiting will be over, and as you rank followers up, new initiates spawn, having aparently recruited by the speaker you named,

once you have one of each rank in the sanctuary, you will get a message about another sanctuary, and follow that quest, but recruiting will be different, you will then rank the first silencer up into another speaker, and assign him to the next sanctuary, then youll follow a similar pattern, as they rank up you can assign them to the next sanctuary, until both sanctuaries are again fully staffed, then go on to the next and final sanctuary repeating the process


rewards
in order to properly motivate advancement in what might be a tedious quest line youll get substantial rewards

riften sanctuary= a mothers love (active effect- taking damage in battle has a 50% chance to make you invisible for 3 seconds?)

markarth sanctuary= void walk power, a gift from your father, that allows grants you invisibility, +25% movement speed, +100% resource regen +fear cloak +absorb health cloak, +see life +intangibility........for 60 seconds, cast once, recharged by completing any contract in his name(inspired by the wrath of sithis wraith from eso

whiterun sanctuary= your speakers gather, and take you to the falkreath sanctuary, having cleaned it up, they turned it into the new night mothers crypt, it has a room for the keeper, her crypt/throne room, a room for the black hand with a table for meeti ngs and a throne for the listener , a small secret player home area, that will be called (voids edge sanctuary) that is meant to serve as a last resort should the dark brotherhood ever fall as low as it did, that this tiny sanctuary would serve as a starting point to rebuild the dark brotherhood from scratch, it will have shelves with the full history of the dark brotherhood on it, , a manakin with spare brotherhood armor on it(a book that explains how to make it on the shelf(reading will allow craftable option and books to teach the enchantments to use) recipes for poisons, a weapons rack, skill books to teach the skills needed, a enchanter and a alchemy station, all crafting, a coffin, a dummy, spell tomes that are relevant , info about the theives guild like shadowmarks to set up relations in the future, shrine to sitjis, n empty night mother pedistal, a hidden escape route, whose exit serves as a fast travelable entrance, a book that will have a riddle for how to find another sanctuary, (and that sanctuary will have one for the next, and on down the line) a plaque for the blade of woe, bookshelf will have the keeping tomes, but they cannot be opened by anybut the keeper
the speakers will each have a journeybook, a book that allows the listener to write in blood in his copy, and have it appear in their book, so that no matter how far they are from each other, when somebody does the black sacrament the listener can immediately send a speaker to them
you wont necesarily use them, but if you look at their inventories each speaker will carry one at all times, and one will apear on a podium in the night mothers crypt at the end


as you play the game after this point, you may recieve messages from the ghostly courier that arent from the void but from your speakers, they will just be random things like them informing you that they just got back from cyrodil, establishing connections in the area, or, that they have asked the theives guild to help learn the location of abandoned sanctuaries across tamriel, and that they offered a hefty reward for any found, or that they have contacts in _____ area that thinks they have found a sanctuary ruin,

side quest idea
throughout this, a powerful benafactor has sent you messages, through the courier(or perhaps a deaddrop system?), that tell you about penetus occulatus agents and leadership that know the whereabouts of a sanctuary
his first message is that he has a vested interest in the existence in the dark brotherhood, having used their services from time to time to aid him, he is a ranking empire official and cant be suspected of doing the black sacriment , but is willing to keep our order safe, to protect future business dealings, he explains that each one will grant me some gold, but that in return, each one would cost the brotherhood a favor, in the form of a contract, to be called in by him or his decendants at any time of their choosing, until the debt is cleared, free of charge, youll get a ledger on the shelf at the end, that will keep track of the contracts owed to him and his decendants, the deal will be that he will only deal with the listener, now and in the future, to keep our identity and arrangement as secret as possible

it will follow a pattern of three, similar to nazeers contracts, they will be easy, but then youll have one leadership contract for every three soldier contracts. they will be in jarls palaces, in imperial camps, etc. more guarded, but higher payout

by doing these things, communicating through courier, journey books, and dream messages deaddrops,, i can avoid having to revoice the actors that aleady exist, or voice additional stuff for them and it sound bad because it does not match their voices
i can voice the courier myself or make him mute, and probably do one or two of the male actors myself, then hire a randos to do the others, for cheap, or figure out if any of the existing voices would work, i could probably make it so that i come up with 10 complete voices, and then reuse them, making sure the bodies look different
the quests would essentially utilize what already exists, so i wouldnt need to add enemies, could just reuse existing enemies, and dungeons,
the quests would be the existing ones, and the new ones would be by courier, and dead drop rewards, and the penitus occulatus agents would just be generi ones already existing, just copied, so gtruly the only voice acting i would need is the voice actors for the followers

majority will be easy,

yes listener

id be honored to accept, my listener

(insert specific lines)
you want me to kill somebody?
but which one am i supposed to kill?

am i free to go?

i accept!


specific recruiting backstrory?
mage (why were you kicked out of the college?)
fellow student stole my research, so i put a spectral dagger in his back
the late illusions teacher did invisible things to students, so i slit his invisible throat
i had a tendency to experiment with new poisons, only problem was, when students get killed with experimental poison, they tend to ask questions

thief(why did you leave the guild?)
the guild liked me alot, until they found out my loot was from the people i killed, they thought i was bad for their reputation, i thought their reputation was bad for my fun

warrior(why were you kicked out of th fighters guild(if they came from other lands)/companions?)
i enjoyed my work....they did not enjoy my work.



and then one speaker will have to tell the listener about their gift to him in the end
