The Throne of Thalos

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:35 pm

Ok befoure you proceed reading this , I post it here couse I want to make , time allowing , a quest around the Talos Ascension , I write Thalos couse it's cooler ....

So here I coudl get help form the ones interested in creating a background for my quest and helping to be lore fitting and all ....

The idea is as follows:

Spoiler


Main idea :

Quest to be done after the Main quest so the Dragonborn is settled as so ... ( ps I didn't finish the game yet so do not spoil anyuthing about it for me please :) )

The idea so is to make The player follow the main steps of the Great Talos to discover how he started his path to Imortality and see if he could follow his same steps ...

The idea behind instead is that Talos did start the path for redemption of his own crimes , and had to accept a payment to gain redemption and imortality ....

This payment is ignored by the majority of the folks in the world and shoudl be very ambiguous ....

eventually it may even end that His immortality and goodhood is like for example forcing him into a prison forever or like beeing imortal and bee forced to eternal dark or whatever else....

The Throne of Talos is the place from where he sits and ascended to Godhood , The throne and relative kingdom is in the deep north toward Atmora or in it , surrounded by incredible desert of Ice , sort of like Antarctica Glaciers....

a Might dragon may be involved eventually ....

The Player gets summoned by this quest by a ship of travellers coming or fleeig from Northern sea , the look of them is more archaic , in weapons and culture , but related to the ancient nord ancestors ...

The mod may feature :

new architecture and armour for nord village and folks ( more akin to a typical nordic Viking style of Fantasy ( nt realistic ) m same for their armours focusing more on chainmail and pelts .... a Viking Drakkar ship ....
new environment elements for Ice Palace....

the perils and the atmosphere shoudl be similar to a Beowulf poem style ...



Now who wants to help may post here whatever he likes to suggest but please do not post spoilers on the main quest that I still have to finish ...

this mod may or may not come out but I like the idea of speculating over it ... and for who knows me they may have an idea of the mods I can do ....

post now :) ....

I'm not sure announcing you intend to do a whole load of stuff that really isn't what Talos is or does or did, then asking for lore background on that really makes sense. If you want to make a non lore-friendly mod and make stuff up, then sure, but anything that completely ignores the established history and setting probably cannot be considered lore (unless Bethesda Softworks confirm it, I guess). People on the other thread explained the history of Talos and how he became a god in the other thread.

That said, it sounds like a pretty interesting idea for a mod, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

What u mean , why it is not lore fitting eventually ? I didn't find much elements about the ascension and Goe "mantling" that forbids any speculative quest planning on this field ... or not?

Yes, but isn't this what Skyrim does?
