So my idea is less of a Skyrim Mod and more of an entirely different game running on the Creation Engine.


This is the basic concept:
When you create a new save with this .esp active, there are no quests, cities, towns, or NPCs. (Other than animals).
You spawn in a random location, with nothing on your person other then some clothes and a dagger.
There is no HUD. Not even a crosshair, not even action prompts. (Press E to Open etc)
The map will be replaced with a static 2D picture similar to Oblivion, and there would be no indication of where the player is.
We would include a Hunger/Thirst/Sleep mod, or create our own.
Dragons would either be disabled, or extremely rare and powerful.

The objectives of the mod would be to survive, explore, loot, and ultimately find a safe shelter. (We would place cabins, dilapidated houses, and old forts throughout the world that the player can claim as their own)
We could also very rarely spawn a follower like a dog or human that the player can recruit.

Obviously there is not much depth at this moment, but once we get the core mod working we can think about other things. For example:
Campfires/Tents
Damage multipliers
More sophisticated healing system (Crippled limbs)
Option for permanent death
Timescale adjustments
Carrying capacity adjustment
Adding clutter to the map
Adding lore (Found journals)
Rare/Legendary animals to hunt
Drug effects
Skill level times
Trophy cases for animal kills
etc.

Ultimate goal of the mod is to create a realistic depiction of surviving in a harsh, alien environment. Ideally, the mod could be turned on and off simply by activating and deactivating the .esp.

If any modders are interested in helping out with this project, post here and we'll exchange contact information. You don't have to be very skilled, as most of the work requires no scripting and simply consists of editing the map in the
creation kit.

Also, if you're not a modder feedback on this idea would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
