[WIP] Growing Raven Rock
On the ashy, empty docks of Raven Rock, two House Redoran officials arrive from Blacklight in order to investigate Raven Rock's strategic importance and usefulness. Will they find Raven Rock to be an unsustainable colony or will it thrive into a budding town it once was?
Growing Raven Rock is a mod being made mostly for my own personal use and hobby, however I thought I would share my creation and progress with the rest of Skyrim modding community.
Mivanu and Rels Gindu are two siblings sent to Raven Rock in order to observe the colony and find out if its sustainable or not. Mivanu Gindu, the oldest, is using this opportunity to raise her position in House Redoran, but unfortunately got stuck with dragging her useless (although witty) younger brother around.
Upon meeting either one of them, Mivanu will offer to make you a hireling of House Redoran any order to carry out missions to help make Raven Rock a thriving town (which let's be honest, in the Skyrim timeline Dark Elves could use).
The second quest (after you are hired) involves investigating the mines, however, if this side quest is already completed then the actual quest line will begin. You will have Rels Gindu as a potential follower if you would like a witty, bored mess of a companion following you around.
Hopeful Features include:
- Convincing guilds to create outposts in the area
- Setting up trade with the neighboring Telvanni and Skaal settlements
- Rebuilding destroyed farms
- Recruiting farmers and miners, and generally helping create a relief for the refugee crisis
- As Raven Grows (from mining and farming, etc...) the town will slowly become revitalized. People will sweep the streets, there will be more lights, etc.. (Why are there piles of ash on top of the bulwark? Not safe! Guards have nothing to do, they can clean that stuff up.)
Current progress:
- Mivanu and Rels Gindu created and basically scripted
- First quest complete (performing small task before getting hired)
Working on:
- Second quest scripting (either asking you to investigate the mines or skipping)
- Fixing issues with Rels face (Face overhauls I have installed make finding a face that works vanilla and with mods is hard )
- Figuring out how to make Rels compatible as a vanilla and follower overhaul compatible.
What I need:
- Someone to voice act Mivanu?
As always, I am new to the Creation Kit (experience from Construction Set) and have little to no experience with Papyrus. Suggestions, helps, and hints are always welcome.
Cheers everyone!
