Hello everyone, I am a small time modder and avid skyrim player. I scour the nexus to try mods and find ideas to share with the community. I got this idea while playing a character based around my followers. By the end of the playthrough my party was at 10 people, myself included. I was destroying all dungeons and bosses with just 3 followers at a time. But one problem I always had was how there were not any guilds that were built around fighting the dragons and other threats to the world. The dragonborn could not be everywhere. Yeah, the blades were SUPPOSED to be that in the original game and mods worked with that, but the blades were just not enough for me, and they were already broken. Companions are paid to kill bears... huge warriors are paid to murder animals and not fight dragons, the biggest problem skyrim faces. The college of winterhold has one, maybe two people that even care about the dragons returning. The vigilants of stendarr are killed off by vampires, some help they were. And don’t get me started on the thieves guild, who actively hinder peoples path to deal with the problems in skyrim. I saw a mod on the nexus that created a guild by talking to npcs and they come to a set location, but why not take it a step further. My idea is to have a quest that is around creating a guild from the ground up, setting up a location, getting guild members, getting merchants to help fund the guild, and other stuff. you could take control as the manager of the guild or have someone else to do it for you while you just give money to fund it. There could be a player home, representatives from different races, places and organizations (i.e. companions, stormcloaks, imperials, possibly greybeards. The potential for this mod is quite great and a lot of customization can come into play. For example, you could choose the hold for the guild to be placed, depending on that and your status in the guild, the jarl can aid you. Another customization option can be choices of how to go about making the guild, do you want it to be an open guild where anyone can join, or a more exclusive guild with more extensive training( they could learn shouts, have higher levels and other stuff added to the guild members. Another customization option is to involve what organizations on the guild such as inviting the Thalmor, companions, legion, stormcloaks etc. This could be unique followers or "guild members." and that just option in dialogue. You could customize the location itself, kinda like hearthstone. You could customize armors, weapons and even more stuff! I am open to suggestions, and this was just a cursory overview of my idea. Thanks you for reading and have a wonderful day! :laugh:
