New Quest Ideas

Post » Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:18 am

I want spellcrafting! I want Spears! I want Werebears! We always speculate about DLCs and what sort of gameplay changes they could/should bring. But we never seem to sit down as friends and talk about quests. Most quest, let's be honest, have the fun of soaked cardboard. Follow the arrow, kill the thing, follow the arrow, collect reward. Then came the Dawnguard and those quest were kind of fun. You had this follower that would not only talk about herself but ask you stuff, like asking about your parents. You were given choices and for a brief moment your Dovahkiin wasn't some cornstalk 2 dimensional avatar. So I ask you, what are new toys in this game worth if we forget the story (I'm looking at you civil war). So let's have fun and make up some interesting quest and maybe we'll get lucky and some lazy Beth intern will read it and submit it and steal the credit..... and we can play it.


Abduction
Quest Giver: Anuriel

Location(s): Mistveil Keep
Hall of the Dead in Riften
Honorhall Orphanage in Riften
Ravens' Hole (New cave, made it up) Outside of Riften

Prerequisite Quest: Innocence Lost, Also must have adopted at least 1 child. Quest starts with a letter from Anuriel or by speaking to her after prerequisites are fulfilled.
Next Quest: None
Reward: The Dagger of Fate (A knife I just made up, has the same enchantment as the Dwarven Black Bow of Fate, only this enchantment is classified as "Fate Damage" and can be disenchanted.)

Quest
You get a letter from Anuriel stating that the Hall of the Dead was recently broken into and some of the graves were vandalized. It was investigated by the Riften Guards, but the Jarl would like to see the Dragonborn.

Upon approaching the Jarl she repeats the letter, that the hall was violated and that the crime was looked into, what was not in the letter was that Hagraven feathers were found at Grelod the Kind tomb, but her body was missing.

You investigate Honorhall and find that the office is being broken into by a Hagraven. Constance Michel tells you that only your quick work kept her and the children safe. Checking the Hag you find a blood stained note with the name of your current home and the word "revenge" written in blood.

You are then directed to your home. Upon entering your home you find it ransacked and all the members of your household under the effect of a paralyses spell. Your spouse recovers and begins to panic, telling you that Hagravens have taken the children. The spouse then says that they were not paralyzed by the hags, but by an old woman. The last thing the spouse heard was "Raven Hole".

Well you get your map updated and you charge in like big mama/daddy and kill all the hagravens. At the end of the cave you find your screaming kids tied up and a very much alive Grelod. Seems old Grelod was/is a witch that was using Honorhall to find the perfect children for a ritual that would grant eternal life. Her ravens dug her out and necro'ed her but as she says its temporary. The children/child of the Dragonborn, even though adopted, have been touched by fate, and so are perfect. Cut to the chase, you kill her (again), save your kids (they cheer as you run in, great moment), and take her dagger as a reward.

your turn....
