The Nerevarine's expedition to Akavir...a query

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 1:04 pm

Those of you who have played Oblivion know that NPCs there mention the Nerevarine going on an expedition to Akavir and not being heard from since.

My question is: are there any mods that set up the premise for this? Those of you who have played one of the expansions to NWN2, Storm of Zehir, know that one could keep playing at the end of the main quest and then choose to "end" the game at his leisure. Similarly, it would be interesting to have a subplot where, after beating Tribunal or both Tribunal and Bloodmoon, the Nerevarine could find out about trouble brewing in Akavir, and get a reason to head over there. Perhaps Sotha Sil left a recorded message/journal of sorts tucked away in a forgotten corner of the Clockwork City that requires the blood of a daedra prince (Hercine) to open. Then the Nerevarine could find out why he/she needs to go to Akavir, and could attempt to find a way to get there, or recruit a ship for passage, or maybe take a shortcut through a realm of Oblivion to get there. Then, after solving this quest, the player would be free, whenever he/she is done playing/exhausted all the mods they want to play, to "embark" on the journey to Akavir by setting sail/entering oblivion, creating a satisfying end and formally "retiring" one's character.

Has anything like this ever been done? Such a mod would be very interesting to see....

Midgetalien had been working on one in the past, but I think he lost the files or something and stopped working on it.

It would be cool to see a mod where one could go to Akavir, but to be honest, I don't think that it would end up being done all too well in terms of artistic concept, seeing as how it would probably end up looking like stereotypical Asian architecture.

Given the limited amount of lore on Akavir, I'm not sure creating the continent would really work. However, there's plenty of material for a quest where the Nerevarine could prepare and leave for Akavir, where the game could just then end...sort of like a game over except not because you died.
