This is mostly for what people want in the game, within reasonable bounds, of course. No, I don't want to hear about flying mounts and the such, I just want to make this more of a role playing experience for everyone, and I hope this gets into the hands of the Bethesda team, and that they take action upon it. There are two mods that I propose, along with the proposed script fixtures necessary for them, as far as I understand they are neccessary.

The first is tied in with the second, the first being making marrige possible with Carlotta Valentia, the food vendor in Whiterun. I will explain the script fixes neccessary for her daughter in just a moment, but she has most of the scripts neccessary for marrige, she was simply taken out of the 'marryable NPCs group' at the last minute, in all likelyhood.

The second is adoption/children. Now, I'm not going to propose actually having children with your spouse, however, Honorhall Orphanage has many children without parents, and it's rather depressing. Tying in with Carlotta's daughter, this is my proposed scripting solution:

Create an alternate scripting, similar to the current marrige one, that 1) Requires a house. 2) Dismisses the 'opening a shop' script upon 'adoption' of the child. 3) Dismisses the 'cooking' script upon 'adoption' of the child. 4) Finally, changes the basic speech scripts, which should be quite obvious, gender-specific would be best.

The 'Move in with me' scripts would be changed in speech, but not in theory. You could still choose which house your child would move into, as to make it easier on developers. I would like to see some interactions between your child and the town's children as well, with a bit of speech from the town to relate to that, as well. "Oh, your child has been playing with my daughter, etc." Perhaps a few radiant quests revolving around your child, either with other children, or perhaps something as parent-like as talking them through a nightmare. Your reputation occasionally being commented on by your child would also be quite good

It's things like this that will get people really involved in their games, even giving them a reason to, say, cut off their 'bad habits' for their children. Once you see that your actions could have an effect on something closer to your character, you may, say, stop your assassinations, for fear of retaliation. For now, these are the things I'm looking for, mostly marrige with Carlotta, even if the scripts for her daughter are not put in. You can always eliminate the scripts for her moving in to your house as well, and just have her work her stall, and live in her own house, reluctant to leave for her daughter's sake until the scripts for children of your own are worked out.

These are the issues currently posted and requested in this thread:

-Marrige to Carlotta Valentia (First Post)
-Adoption (First Post)




Please note that I will not be adding your requests to this list until you actually discuss how your issues can be solved. We're not talking about bugs here, we're speaking of a deeper roleplaying experience, and adding to the game in positive manners. If you see an issue, feel free to point it out, but don't turn this into a thread about 'why x idea can't happen'. Oh, and if you would... please, no scripting lingo. I don't understand it, nor do many others. Hope to hear more ideas and proposed solutions from everybody though! Thanks for reading through!
