Skyrim Races (as in running) or Stuff.
Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2020 6:48 am
I wonder if anyone would like to discuss or put forward any ideas on the following.
I'm a Skyrim fan. I play on a ps4, the special edition, not on the online mmrpg version. What I'd like to do is come up with some stuff to do, like for example races and stuff (think from say the bar in the thieves guild hidey hole in Rifton to the Silverblood Inn in Markarth) that could be done on your consul (you'd time yourself and honesty would be a big part of it in my former example) but outside the normal stuff of the game, by groups of interested people.
The idea is to use the word created by Bethesda, the character created by the player, to do things pre-agreed by us and report back on how you have fared. With a bit of imagination I'm sure that some pretty fun stuff could be thought up.
To expand upon the race idea, the rules would be 1) no potions to be used - only rings, necklaces and apparel. 2) no fast travel - obviously. 3) Time would be 'our world' time in whole minutes rounded up. 4) Roads or cross-country routes as per the runners preference. 4) No horses or dragons to be used - unless by prior agreement that this is a horse race etc.
Races of different types could be thought out - say round the perimeter of Rifton or the peak of the throat of the world to another notable geographic location. But there is no reason to restrict your thinking to timed events. Questions could be asked; what item is found in the such and such of this or that place. Collections of this or that group of objects.
It can be seen from my examples that I don't have much of an imagination to come up with good ideas - but I remain convinced that the world of Skyrim has potential as an arena for much other stuff to be done in than that which the game makers intended? Give me your ideas guys!
