A kvactch siege RP- would you join?

Post » Tue Mar 02, 2010 3:28 pm

Hey I was thinking about making a Kvatch RP. Taking place DURING the oblivion crisis. You would play like a civilian or guard trying to survive by escaping, making your way to the chapel, or fighting.
I don't know if someone else has done this before but I thought it was pretty origanol.


Heres a basic outline of the story:
It's 3E433, during the oblivion crisis. You will be playing a citizen of Kvatch, weather you are a guard or a common civilian. You have just heard a rumor about the death of Uriel Septim, Everyone is talking about it and scared. Some have actually seen gates to oblivion open up in the wilderness with daedra coming out.
One day you notice the sky turns red and scamps starts poring into the city... then more monsters come: Dremora and things you've never even heard of. Everyone runs into they're homes, some stay to fight and die along with the guards. Whats happening? Is this the end of Kvatch?

Your role:
You will be playing a Civilian or guard of Kvatch, or perhaps your a traveler just visiting? Anyways, your playing a person who lived in Kvaccht during the seige when the daedra start pouring in.
Or maybe your a badguy? Perhaps a dremora commander or soldier wiping out the city. We may need a few of those.

How it will be like: The game will take place one day before the attack on Kvactch, for character development. In this game Kvatch is going to be quite big like half the size of a modern city.
It's survival RP basically, just try to stay alive, do what you would do in real life.

It will look like this before the attack- but with more buildings:

And just for fun, some of these guys will be NPC's...

So anyone interested in joining? I'll start it if enough people are. Please share your thoughts.

PS: this is my first RP made by me.

Well, spelling aside :rolleyes: I must say this looks like it will be a one liner with an already known ending. Everyone knows what happened, and unless you deviate from the main plot somehow, this would honeslty be kind of boring. Sure, the posts could be exciting and action packed, but without a plot, the whole thing falls apart.

So basically, there is no element of mystery or surprise. It is just "Oh no, daedra!" all over the place until the Champion wins. Change up the plot, make something different. You can't just have it be this, you have to either change it or expand on it.

And having someone play a daedra, bad idea. You can do it, but be very careful about other people. Another situation of only experienced RPers allowed.

Not much else to say, there is no minor thing you can change to help. Thanks, and you can change stuff, I thought of a few things during my post. I'm not going to say them, because then it wouldn't be your RP ;) Good try.

I like the basic idea, but I also agree with Darkom. See, with Kvatch, the people didn't know it was coming, they were caught off guard and were slaughtered for it. It just wouldn't be the same with players who know what happens and how things all end. We wouldn't be able to capture and hold a persons interest for long enough to get really, really motivated for the RP.

I don't want to force you to change anything, because it's your RP, but I just thought I'd put in my thoughts. Personally, I would think it'd be interesting if you can change the Kvatch siege into something people would totally not expect.

Don't lose heart, though. I'd definitely join with some changes. ;D

Well, spelling aside


*sigh*

Tha spallin woz gaod anaff. Yes ahm tchring to ryite using Gaelic pronounciation rules, and really can't continue it :(

But this RP is one of the most consistent I've seen here recently. Instead of fighting the Daedra, maybe it could be a small group of people trying to sneak or fight through the city to escape the Dremora who are searching for people amongst the ruins?

Thanks for input guys.

Gallowglass, actually, my idea was to have players go into the sewers and make their was out of the city like that but that's good to. And I was planning to include some twists.
Was the spelling really that bad?... I should really use firefox.

I wouldn't join, just knowing what will happen. It will probably be pretty short, unless you want to go into the main quest line.
