Gweden Brothel, an ever-growing series of side-quests Options

[ghastley]

I'm starting a thread in this section so I can move discussion of the development out of the Fiction thread.

The Red Dragon Club arc of quests is getting another one added, related to the attempt on the life of the Mane. The player manages to head off one assassin, but there may be others (which means I can use the same idea multiple times!) The Bosmer woman (archer) that was recruited to do the job is persuaded to join the staff of the Club instead. I just have to fix a few bugs in the AI packages for her Khajiit handler and then I may put up another file at the Nexus, and let a few more folks try it.

Now my problem is what happens next?

Ocato has to become Potentate soon, and Black Marsh and Elsweyr secede from the Empire. I'm considering linking these events, and assuming that the provinces would consider the lack of an Emperor as a reason to nullify their treaties. It's not clear from the known timeline whether the assassination of the Mane followed, or led to, the Elsweyr secession, but that's soon too.

Only the Elder Council's decision to elevate Ocato actually takes place in Cyrodiil, and that leaves me with the conundrum of how to build quests that relate the rest.

Another issue I'm thinking about is the possibility of the player being Master of the Fighter's Guild and thus responsible for the destruction of the Hist tree in Leyawiin. If it had any contact with its peers in Black Marsh, they may be angry with, or grateful to, the player for the outcome of that quest. It could provide a hook for the quest concerning the secession of Black Marsh, if the Hist decide that the player is the one they can deal through, or if they decide to use the abduction of the tree as their excuse for ending the treaty. None of which gives me anything for the player to do except go to Leyawiin and talk to an Argonian.
