Other Province Mods

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 2:31 am

perhaps having some sorta pre-set section of each page about certian things that we know to be100% "true lore" from ingame sources would be good?
or we could add timelines for each province at the bottom of each page, pretty useful thing to have.

Timelines would certainly be useful, but what really needs doing now is the hard detective work of piecing together little bits of information, before we can decide how to set up such lists.

My two septims:

I'd like to see all excited/passionate modders who want to work on a province focus on a single province rather than start a handful of different projects that aren't going to get finished.

I'd like to see a model of release early/often. Working with a large group is difficult. Coordination is half the effort. And it is easy to get sidetracked with RL since RL does take precedence. Releasing early and often means you're holding yourself accountable to the public which adds motivation. And if nothing else, if you decide to step away at some point it is far easier for someone else to pick up where you left off. Not to mention that all too often I see someone post that a massive mod they were working on was lost due to a HDD crash. Releasing files to the internet means they are less likely to be lost forever.

And for what it is worth, I'd love to see a Battlespire remake. It would be smaller than a full province. It isn't as daunting a project. It wouldn't require as much dialogue. It would be a fairly linear dungeon, where small groups could be focused on each level. I see it as a very feasible project to finish.

That's quite an interesting idea in its own right, which might be worth its own discussion. Although perhaps a straight remake might not be as preferable as a re-imagining. IIRC, the Battlespire was heavily damaged at the end of that game, but not destroyed. Exploring the ruins could be a fun mod, but you would need to have some modeling skills to make all the custom assets that would be required.

Hmm, so we're already slightly over? Or do the mods come and lock it manually?

Mods lock it. I've seen some threads go to 50 or so over, because the mods were late.

Edit: They might be waiting for someone to make a new thread and link to it.

I would very much enjoy helping in on this. While I may only be useful on making Cyrodiil, I would gladly help the design and creation of the towns and small villages.

By the way, who else would think it would be a little interesting if we saw certain things that were related to what the player did in the other Elder Scrolls? Like having the Dragon Statue that Martin Septim turned into, or maybe even a temple dedicated to the player.

That certainly would be an important landmark, assuming the Thalmor didn't destroy it.

If you want to carry on talking about this, head over to the new thread. This one will be closed soon.

Which one?

And as for the statue, I don't think the Thalmor would, considering that he was the embodiment of Akatosh, if I recall, and not Talos.
