» Thu Jan 09, 2014 2:14 pm I'm not sure if this will attract attention or not. It's an alternative take on the Skyrim main quest. Basically, the Dragonborn was never captured by the Imperials, so he will not be at Helgen when Alduin attacks. The story will focus on a group of other survivors from Helgen. From there, you guys have to decide what to do. There are no specific 'rails', so I'm not going to force you to go to Riverwood, then to Whiterun - it's entirely up to you as a group. Your eventual goal will be to stop Alduin... but that's going to be hard to achieve since the Dragonborn is elsewhere (and he doesn't even know he's Dragonborn yet!).
Notes:
-If you disagree with the group's decisions, you may split up and pursue the quest, but only if at least one other person is with you.
-At certain intervals, such as when the Blades and Greybeards are at a disagreement, the players may end up fighting each other, this is allowed.
-The Dragonborn may or may not appear in the roleplay depending on choices. If he does, he'll be the default Nord seen in the trailers.
Rules
1. Characters can be of any race.
2. Since we begin at Helgen you can be part of those Imperials, Stormcloaks, or a random prisoner who got captured (like the Dragonborn), or a Helgen villager.
3. Don't be a jack-of-all-trades; try to specialize in something, because teamwork will be a huge focus in the roleplay.
4. May add more later.
