Escape from Alcatraz

Post » Wed Oct 06, 2010 5:10 am

Hello all!

I probably won't be in the forums here for much more than this thread, but I had this idea, and decided to bring it here. I'm pretty interested in this, and these forums look full of real forumers. It's also intimidating considering this world to me is so foreign and huge. I haven't completed The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and I haven't played the others. I hope I have enough knowledge to compose this. At any rate, we'll all be completing Skyrim I'm sure!

The Overview

The city is Alkatraz. It's called a city because it is a fully functioning institution in which the prisoners are enslaved and made to work the place, growing crops, transporting goods, all with in the confines of the island. It is annexed off and surrounded by water, somewhere inside of Skyrim. It had been around for hundreds of years, starting off as a simple prison, then transforming into a slaver/prisoner crew. You have been stripped of your magicka abilities since the place is enchanted, as well as all the guards having powerful mage abilities. Not only that, but all who have tried to escape has befallen the Reaper, a magical dragon that is conjured by the ruler of Alkatratz, to feast on those who think it possible to escape.

You are one of the prisoners of Alkatraz, and little do you know, a grand plan has been devised by a particular someone, who has the ambition to gather a large group of prisoners and escape in a way that almost guarantees freedom, or so that's what he believes.


This is an interest check, just to see if anyone would be willing to join, not the official sin-up. That will be more fleshed out. Tell me what you guys think.

There was an RP like this, except Alactraz was a prison where Kvatch was, and you were prisoners on a break out. it carried on to Alcatraz part II

Sounds interesting, I've never done a Elder Scrolls RP. I would join up.

Can we possibly change the name from Alcatraz to something... not so... relevant to the real world. Escape From Alcatraz sounds like a movie.

How about Escape from Arthung Arbeit? Make it an ancient deadly ayleid ruin-turned-prison or something.

Im not going to commit myself to this one, but depending on how fleshed out it becomes i may be intrested. Also Ant if you don't have much knowledge of TES world/lore you can always ask somone here if they wanted to co host with you and then you can run ideas past them to see how well they will fit with TES world/lore.

Also i second the vote to change the name from Alcatraz, like others said it sounds like a movie and it also reminds me how much i didn't like Crysis 2.

Sounds very promising, however I agree on the name change, Alcatraz is too real-worldish, it might work for a Fallout RP, but not TES.

Once the RP gets more fleshed-out (and probably not until it gets a name change) I will make a CS, but for now, it's on my "watch list".
