Has this ever been done? I play with the elder council which adds the legion as a playable faction but I don't think it lets you capture the gray fox... haven't joined yet

In most rpg you would be able to side against the gray fox and the thieves guild instead of joining him if you wanted to, same with the dark brotherhood... in fact I thought about this when playing oblivion for the first time

I have never done much with the construction set (just adding objects to cells and npc + changing stats...a little of scripting too but not much) but I might try it if it hasn't been done

In my mod the legion would be like the other guilds, with ranks and stuff... the first quests would deal with minor problems and soon you'd start helping Hieronymus Lex with the thieves guild... eventually capturing the gray fox! Or maybe not... I'll think about something interesting xD You'll deal with the dark brotherhood too, finding the cheydinhall sanctuary would be cool... I play with OOO/FCOM so the quest would be balanced for them (I mean, you wouldn't be able to do the last quests until high levels) I'll have to look at the lore too

So yeah, I'd use vanilla places and npc... no new fancy items I guess

there're some problems though

1. My english is not very good
2. I don't have that much time
3. As I said I'm not very good with the construction set... yet

I have not started and I don't know when, if someone who's actually good at modding wanted to help it would be amazing!

Of course, if it's already done it would be even more amazing!

Unfortunately, there has never been much luck in creating an Imperial Legion faction mod...there was one attempt to do it, but it lacked in quality, and it has also been abandoned. If you search "under sign dragon" in TesNexus, you'll find several addons that could be useful for roleplaying a legionnaire, as well as the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22965 mod. But nothing like a serious Imperial Legion questline...it's like as that project is sort of "doomed"

I have on idea; play Morrowind!

An Imperial Legion faction would be awesome if done well. And why not the Imperial Cult while we're at it?

I doubt anyone would take the IL project, and if someone does, it'd be already too much work to implement a quality questline to even think of also creating an Imperial Cult one.

Alas, there are already tons of "go there, grab this artifact, return and keep it" mods (aka "The Lost Spires").

TEC is pretty nice for simple legionaring, but if someone were to do quests against the DB and the Gray Fox, it'd probably be best to get new NPCs in, in order to avoid conflicts.

sorry but I can not agree here.... Fort Akatosh Redux V.1.3.2 adds a fully joinable and functioning imperial legion faction ( beside a joinable imperial cult and trading company faction) including different quests to rise up the ranks from recruit to captain (recruit, spearman, watchman, sergeant, captain)....it includes unique faction icons..payment and other privileges depending on your rank... an animated legion greeting...and much more...

^^ what Onra said

It has been a lot of time since I last installed those mods...glad to see it has advanced so much

Why? If the particular character joins the legion and accepts missions to wipe out the DB and the TG, what difference would it make if they killed off all the vanilla NPCs belonging to either group? It's not like someone in that role would suddenly decide to abandon their duties and side with the enemy.

True, but I meant to start the quests. Seen some strange things happen when people modded quest-related NPCs too much. Not to say it's not possible, it's just we'd need a quality modder behind it.

If you join the legion you shouldn't be able to join the thieves guild, neither the dark brotherhood... so you'd be prevented from doing their quests...

I have some questions

1 - How do I make it compatible with The elder Council... this would be completely different (more like vanilla guilds) and I play with it so I couldn't make it incompatible xD
At the moment I haven't joined the legion yet and dunno how are it is like
2-Who let's you join the legion, and where? In TEC you join in the palace but to make the mod not requiredI should do it in some other place

Since my modding skills are very limited I'll begin with something rather easy...
Boost legion armors (they're the army, their armors should be as strong as dwarven armor, captain/palace armor even better)
A quest to join the faction (to prove you're captable) which would be hard for low level characters if you play with fcom
It won't be nothing fancy, like killing the necromancer in vilverin... I'll thing about something
And then you're given the first rank (dunno what it is?) and you'd be destinated to a city to do your first works where you will be given the respective armor (you won't have acces to to the legion equipment yet)

At the moment I'm rather busy playing so I wont start this until... later
If someone wants to take my ideas be free to do it, it will probably be better anyway
