INTRO

Hey there, weary traveler! This whole adventure started off with me working on a house for my ranger character, and I thought, hey, this would make a pretty interesting quest mod. So here I am, posting this thread.

BACKSTORY

With the legion forts left to ruin, bandits, marauders, monsters, and other evil things have been set loose upon the land...

Delrius Dernais walks through the forests near the town of Chorrol. He hears voices in a small clearing ahead, and walking forward to investigates, walks right into a group of bandits. alerted to his presence, they draw their weapons and advance on him. Time appears to slow for a short moment in which he says to himself, "These bandits wouldn't have been this close to town if the Legion was still around.." before an arrow whizzes past his head and he turns and flees back towards town...

THINGS TO DO AND MORE INFO

I'll be adding lots of special features to this mod. Its loosely based on KotN (their will be certain individuals who will join your group). MULTIPLE "houses" for the player to own. Lots of quests, little goodies will be available, as well as a romantic subplot for male and female characters, full voice-acting (compliments of the ***.) and lots of new content, compatible with (hopefully) all other quest mods, and most others except for UL.

Welcome to the Alliance!  

This sounds like an interesting project. Have you started working on it yet, or are you still in development?

I'll be keeping an eye on your progress!

[Euther]

Agreed, Sounds interesting... I look foward to following this one through as well.

-E-

[Nightfyre]

I've started.

ATM, I'm working on the first hideout location, Lost Cavern. The man who you talk to too get this whole thing rolling is the only person who knows about it. He stumbled upon it as a child.

Their will be one hideout in every county, except for Anvil county which has two.

BTW, I got the inspiration for this mod from the Rangers of Ithilien in the Lord of the Rings.

[Nightfyre]

A small update.

The first cavern is nearing completion, and here's a few more things I'll be including in the mod.

fletching

taxidermy

companions

a fort

more to be included

[DarkRider]

What kind of companions do you have planned? Male? Female? Voiced? Romantic scenario?  

[Nightfyre]

all of the above.

Their will be romantic sub-plots for two of the companions, but the rest will just be basic soldier types.

I forgot to mention the custom armor and weapons for the faction. the weapons are of Adonnay's make and the armor is of my own.

[DarkRider]

Sounds really cool!  

[Nightfyre]

glad you like it.

Each hideout comes with a small shrine to Kynareth (who protects the rangers). Each hunter has a special ability, such as smithing, cooking, etc. and has their specific assignments in the fort, aside from their scouting duties.

[DarkRider]

It's things like that which add realism to any mod! My current project Reclaiming Sancre Tor also tries to make an abandoned fort into a usable space with a functioning guard. The biggest issue I had in the interior of the fort was placing enough statics to make the space look used without killing the fps count! LOL

Will we be getting some screenshots soon?  

[Nightfyre]

yep.

I'm currently working on characters for the mod, creating faces, and then adding them to the worldspace, and after everything else is done, adding AI.

[DarkRider]

Screenshots soon?  

[Nightfyre]

yep.

They won't look as good, because I use Oldblivion, but I'll get some out there. Perhaps I could send someone else the ESP so they could take pictures for me, so they don't look so lame...

[Nightfyre]

screenshots added!

[DarkRider]

Excellent! It's certainly coming along. I'd like to see some more statics in the player's quarters, maybe a wolf skin rug or something to make it a bit cozier! Just a suggestion!  

[Nightfyre]

underneath the bedroll?

Sure thing. Thats a great idea.

[Ladyflcn]

Hi Nightfyre! This sounds really interesting, I love LOTR type things!  

[Happy-i-am]

looks good, going to be a keeper!  Your going to have pathingright? for the npcs? so their not blind lol

[StryderOfOblivion]

Looks outstanding!!!

So you will actually have guard duty? On top of scouting and missions?

[Nightfyre]

yep.

This is a side project of mine, so its more of a thing I do when I'm bored. But yes to both questions, I'm considering releasing them in parts, as player bases, instead of as a quest.

[StryderOfOblivion]

Can't wait!
