[WIP]The Imperial Mod

[mastab]

One of the things I found missing in Oblivion were the many diiverse factions from Morrowind. From which, my favorite was the Imperial Legion. In this mod, you will rise through the ranks of first the Imperial Watch, killing drunks, cultists, and rats in Imperial City, to the Imperial Legion where you join a squad of four soldiers and eventually get to lead your own squad and choose your own soldiers to put in it depending on what you need help with. It will be unbalancing, but you will be able to have all of them follow you at once. You will be given better and better suits of Imperial Legion armor until you eventually earn Palace Guard Armor. My idea for the squad came up when I saw a four member squad clearing out the baddies around a closed Oblivion gate and the idea just stuck with me.

No idea yet on when it will be out, but I'll keep posting progress.

Nice, sounds like SOCOM in Oblivion. Which I wouldnt mind. Good luck.

Alright, I've finished the initiation quest and parts of the first quest. I have a quest line for your time in the Imperial Watch mapped out, but if somone has any good plot ideas, tell me. I'm thinking of eight main quests for the Watch and a promotion every two quests completed. There will also be little side quests inbetween the main ones like killing a drunk, stopping a riot, collecting taxes, killing thieves' guild members, and getting Imperial Legion horses - I'm thinking one horse you buy from the orc canibal lady outside imp city(she has a deal with the Legion that she sells them horses to help maintain her eating habits) and the other one is a unicorn you get when you reach commander by killing an evil demon possesed horse(explained bellow), taking it's infant horse, and giving it to a priest for a while who will clense the demon in it and make it your horse(as it grows it will become stronger)

For the main quest, basically you investigate a warden of a prison island who has been requesting large amounts of money and supplies for his island. It turns out that he is a daedra worshipper who is launching a daedra invasion of Tamreil by putting daedra spirits in prisoners and prison guards in his prison giving them super powers. He even possesed his horse(whose child you get). He had been using the supplies to fund the invasion. For the final quest you are teleported to his island where you fight through the dungeon(based on world of warcraft's stockades). You will be aided by prisoners in the dungeon and soldiers you land with and command, and fight possesed guards and prisoners on the way to kill the warden. I was thinking of making it so that when the warden died all the possesed guys died and that each guard was the commander of a few prisoners so that when each guard died, their respective prisoners would die as well.

In the Imperial Legion quest line you find out that the warden in his dieing moments moved his spirit to one of the Imperial Palace's council members and has again raised an army.

Yes, I know, complicated and long. Gratz on reading this far

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hm... I always thought a cool twist for the Firemoth mod would've been you getting command of it; maybe the PC could get command of the fort/prison?

Sounds cool, tho.

[Hunessai]

Hehe, running a prison might be fun.

[mastab]

But what would you do? It's not like a business... maybe make them mine stuff or do other manual labor?

Sure... or be given random quests to arrest people and confiscate loot... ;D
