The Elder Scrolls: V - A Province under Chaos

Now I'm actually really pumped for this! Yeah, the RP sounds cool.

Does this mean the burning of Helgen is going to be a thing eventually or will the dragons return in some other way? And what about the guild leaders? Keeping those canon would mean that each guild plot arc kinda thing would remain the same. I'd personally like to see The Silver Hand be more of a threat and the Companions be less invincible with the exception of that lame off screen Skjor kill. And what of the Nightingales? Or being the Listener, etc etc? These are unique roles that only one person can be, so either they get removed entirely, we have an NPC already fill those roles, we agree in OOC who gets to be what, or we do a first come first serve type of deal. Organizing this will be challenging but fun, I think. Adapting a single player game in the vein that Skyrim is in into a multiplayer RP will likely be tough.

@BurningColdI wasn't planning on using most of the Guilds and their sort of storylines, and you bring up an exceptionally good question. Some of the roles being in the time period, I.E. the Listener, wouldn't probably be encountered and filled by an unmentioned NPC. They won't be getting around to everything, these characters, like the Dragonborn was ever so coincidentally. More popular and recognisable groups like The Companions would be around, and of course not everyone is going to be as invincible or battle-thirsty. For some of the Guilds, I'd like to at least get some own-created characters to fill their high ranks. Another point is that the Burning of Helgen will not happen, and the Dragons are you arrive in my own personal 'Decision'.

[BurningCold]

@LetMeDoStuff So then perhaps when you create the RP a list of the different guilds and factions should be present, as well as what roles the player characters are allowed to fill in said faction.

I'm thinking of joining as a Nord battle mage.

@BurningColdI'll make sure to incorporate that somehow. Thank you dearly for the suggestions!

I'm starting on writing a few drafts for the Thread, and hopefully I'll be able to get the actual thing up tomorrow, though it might be awfully written knowing me. In the Intro-OOC post, it'll have the available positions for the starting organisations for the choice section. As interesting as it might be to mix it up, it might be easier if we focus on the same pathway, roughly, so we can build up for the even larger plots later on. The Four Choices for the very start are The Empire, The Stormcloaks, The Low-Blade Bandit Clan and the Uninvolved.

@LetMeDoStuff I'm assuming uninvolved is just anyone that's neutral yes?

@BurningCold

They have a much wider, though slightly more difficult, path in the development of the story. It could be the best for interacting with Characters of the same type. However, it consists of Blacksmiths, Hunters, Maybe Mercenaries that can get involved. The hold itself will end under siege by the Lower-Blade at some point, including everyone.

[BurningCold]

@LetMeDoStuff So being a neutral traveler out there for his/her own gains is off the table?

@BurningColdAs long as they get caught up in Falkreath for quite some time, before everyone begins to spread out or narrow down a single path...It should be fine. Having one, at least, uncommon outside will surely keep things stirring a bit.

I'm nearly done with the Thread...Will post it here when it is complete.

@LetMeDoStuff This is totally random but I am going to always be thinking of you as a middle-aged man with graying hair.
