[REL] Thrassian Plaguesword

Post » Fri Aug 31, 2012 10:25 am

I've just released my first mod for Skyrim, and my first ever public mod for an Elder Scrolls game, on http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23350.

Investigate a scholar's expedition to western Skyrim on the trail of possible Sload activity, discover new books and a unique weapon of a culture alien to Tamriel, and gain possession of a small but functional new player home.

Thrassian Plaguesword is both a unique new scratch-built sword, and an accompanying lore-friendly mini-quest for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, featuring several new books written specifically for the mod. Travel to Rorikstead and investigate a shack just outside town to begin the quest.
  • Complete a lore-rich new mini-quest
  • Acquire the Thrassian Plaguesword, a venomous artifact of the Sload race
  • Find new lore-friendly books and items
  • Acquire a functional player home near Rorikstead with storage and crafting
The quest is short, and not designed with fast travel or button-mashing in mind, but rather roleplay, exploration and lore detail. Some of the mod's darker themes and subtleties assume a mature audience.

It's a small, somewhat lore and text-heavy mini-quest centered around a scratch-built new art asset: the WFB Chaos/Nurgle-inspired Plaguesword, here made ambiguously lore-friendly as a minor Daedric/Thrassian artifact weapon.

At this point, I'm just terrified that I've made some kind of basic error that'll prevent people enjoying the mod, despite my testing, so I wanted to open a discussion thread here in hopes of getting some early feedback and/or constructive criticism.

The model looks nice and artistic fitting to the style of the game, and it seems also to be seemles integrated to the World of Tamriel, so surely will try it out :).

Wow, this looks utterly fantastic. Plus it tickles my sload-fancy. Insta-download.

Right now I'm imagining wielding this with Spellbreaker. Hail Peryite!
