Dragonborn DLC mods

[samv96UK]

Hey everyone! With the release of the Dragonborn DLC imminent, I have already started to consider the modding opportunities there. I was never particularly interested in Using Dawnguard or Hearthfire as bases for mods- there was nothing I found in them that I needed to make anything.

 

Now Dragonborn, on the other hand, is where it gets interesting. A whole new Bethesda-created landmass to play around with? Goodie! :D

 

If you know me then you'll also know I love to make new areas to explore, new things to see and new people to meet. So adding two and two together, how about an extra village or two on the island of Soltsheim?

 

However, when it comes to type of town, I'm unsure on the best option. At the moment I have 4 ideas, as indicated by the poll above (5 if you include the 'other' option.

 

• Imperial settlement- This would be a settlement owned by the Empire, and would be similar in terms of architecture and theme to Syerscote and Rochebere.
  
• Dunmer settlement- This settlement would most likely look similar to Raven Rock, using architecture from the DLC along with custom architecture to fill in the gaps. It would be owned by one of the three great houses of Morrowind. This idea will be fleshed out more if it voted as the highest.
  
• Nordic settlement- A hearty Nordic village. Unlike the shamans of Skaal village, the people here are clearly the kinsman of Skyrim- lovers of mead, beards and axes. The architecture here would be custom modified versions of Vanilla farmhouses.
  
• Bandit settlement- The bandit settlement would be a rough village made up of redundant outlaws and mercenaries. They welcome anyone who is willing to share their coin with the local traders. I would make the architecture a combination of tents, small shacks and farmhouses.
  

 

So let me know what you think! I'm open to other ideas, so let me know in the comments if you have any other suggestions.

 

Thanks!

i voted for empire/imperial and i will tell you why:

 

the imperials long fled from solstheim i think because of the volcano eruption and the dunmer wanting them out of their island.

so why not have a last imperail enclave and as questline you would start gaining respect from other settlemets on solsteheim towards the impreial enclave?

intrigues and diplomatics are ideas not really being implemeneted in vanilla skyrim.

 

second idea: dunmer settlements would be nice, but not as interesting because we already have dunmer settlements.

maybe improve te existing ones and their belongign to one of the great houses?
