Brainstorm Thread, For a new RP of course Options

[Dantrag]

Well, I must say that i like Danny's, and Konrad's ideas best...but I think you know a big fight for freedom, say Morrowind declares themselves independent from the Empire, and breaks out of it.

the Empire doe's not wish for this to happen, so they wants to take Morrowind back by force of arms....but it so happens thet it's only Cyrodiil and Skyrim, or something like that supports the empier in this war....the other provinces stay out of it.

So the Tribunal is dead, the Nerevarine have agreed to be Helseths general, and the Empire...well they have the Emperor and several others....this is only a suggestion though....as I have always wanted to take part in an RP like this...but if you dont like it, just tell so.

It's a good storyline, but we're trying to stay away from the large-scale stuff. Based on previous experience, it's too much of a hassle.

[Hukai The Wandering]

That seems a little too large-scale...Interesting though.

[lizard110494]

I think we could make an argonian vs dunmer rp where you can join ether sides and be any race

[Hukai The Wandering]

Hmm, that would be funny...What if someone is a Dunmer but is married to an Argonian? *evil laughing*

How about some sort of cross-dimensional reality swap? Like are character and us switch places or simply move into the ajacent world or something...Mabye our characters are somehow transported into a different TES game....

...

I'll shut up now...

[Kell-Reevor]

I can't seem to come up with any ideas... but what if we take some of the other ideas mentioned and instead of dismissing them as too large and complex, perhaps we can work to simplify them a bit?

It may or may not be possible, but I feel it is a suggestion worth noting.

[Tellie]

I was thinking that the Rp, will take place in mostly Morrowind, as the legions have far greater manpower....the Dunmer tries to protect themselves.

And there will not be so many diferent sides to join, as the Dunmer factions have been united for a common goal...FREEDOM, while the imperial guilds, have united to bring Morrowind back under their control.

Sure there will always be things happening in Cyro...but it will not be too large scale...or so I think, as there is about only two sides to jojn, and the main place will be Morrowind....and Vvardenfell.....

or that was how I was thinking it.

[Fuzzy Knight]

All I want to say is that I would love to play in Cyrodiil insted of the province of Morrowind, first of all - I haven't played Morrowind in so many years, so I don't remember anything, cities, people, factions etc. Now as I'm currently playing Oblivion, I know the setting pretty good. But this is only my part, many don't have Oblivion and haven't played it - but all our RPs so far have been based in Morrowind, so all I would really want was a RP based in Cyrodiil, maybe around Skyrim and Hammerfell too

Since we don't want a large-scale RP it's good to have a solid small one that would contain a lot of information so we would have something to play on, not so we would finish it within a week or two...

As I said I also think we should test out the good vs evil, having the good group that wants to prevent the evil groups plan to do something. Don't really got many ideas.

Can post some... Let's see... these wouldn't fit into the current setting of Oblivion, but as Danny stated we could try to alter things a bit and such

1. I've always loved the control of a Count or Countess in a city and keeping things within the city. Since some mind-control spell or such wouldn't really involve everyone, only those who are affected by this. Like my RP idea in Beyond Oblivion forums - That the Count of a city had been bitten/controlled by what we could call a greater Vampire (leader of a Vampire Faction) or a powerful Sorcerer and he would use politics and military power of the Count for his advantage - from there it's just putting in ideas for why he/she would do this and how to stop this.

Here the evil players could be like a group of elite soldiers, capable of doing certain tasks, fighting, spellcasting, manipulating - so it would need all kinds of characters. And of course, let's say the Count/Countess of a city in the same county would be threatened, but he know he is watched by this evil - so he sets up a meeting, calling in the local hero's people who would be capable of stopping this without giving off as much attention as a legion of soldiers marching against the city since they don't know what they are up against...

So this RP would require a lot of investigating from both parts and in the end; the Evil group would have to silence the Count/Countess of the opposite city taking control of this one too which would lead to greater things, while the good group would have to kill the leader (also prove he was evil of course) and kill the evil group...

To keep this from a large scale, we would simply keep it within as few cities as possible, as long as it's not to thin - giving the RP a long duration and action and fun all the way That's just the idea I thought of now...

[Hukai The Wandering]

I like that idea. The count of So-n-so Town is being controlled and another Count asks us to investigate. Cool, nice idea man.

[Kiln]

yeah it was just an idea... i've been reading Eldest and was thinking about the story with one of the characters and his town there.

Hey man, at least you've thought of some ideas, I really haven't come up with anything. Glad to know that someone reads my story as well.

Back on topic of planning: I really liked the thing Fuzzy came up with, seems to be an interesting plot...but of course it is still open for more suggestions and opinions, we need to find something that everyone will like.

WoH sounded interesting as well but after people got into it, things weren't as cool as they had originally sounded.

Just to point something out - avoiding 'large scale' doesn't mean restricting the areas that are open for travelling, it merely means avoiding the whole armies and political leaders thing.

I thought Fuzzy's idea was excellent.

And about the setting, my opinion is that we shouldn't use somewhere that's already in a game. I mean, in AMU, we used Cyrodiil (which at that time, was not in a game) and we just made up the setting as we went, allowing for more freedom, and that way, the people that don't have Oblivion are equally knowledgable.

Indeed. IMHO politics seem a bit stuffy and boring anyways.

As for the setting, I have no qualms with participating in a region other than Cyrodiil or Morrowind (or the region about Iliac Bay for you Daggerfall fans). Dantrag makes a good point about fairness for players that don't have Oblivion yet.

Exactly, everthing I thought was in that post, we don't need to restrict it to a certain space, just keep it to a few characters and not have huge battles involving 10,000 "npc" characters.

Also, I agree that it should be done somewhere that isn't in a game. We should use Skyrim(cause I like nords ) or some place else but not in Cyrodil just so all the roleplayers have an equal playing field and people aren't like,

"And I walked to the river to take a drink."

and then someone else is like,

"Dude there are no rivers near where we are."

Those sort of things won't happen because nobody is familiar with the land and the stuff going on there, we'd be making it up as we went along.

Hope you understand what I'm talking about but if not then just pretend you didn't read that whole thing.

So far I'm a fan of Danny's idea, its short, sweet, simple and allows access for easy additions and alot of free (but responsible) choices. Also, the idea of a new, uncommonly visited province intrigues me greatly. Visiting the Nords in Skyrim or the Altmer in Summerset Isle would be a great start for an RP.

[Aki]

Maybe we could use a totally new setting that isn't really in a game yet, or put it in a time peroid that would make the cities look very different.

We could do something like Skyrim. I like snow.

Skyrim sounds good to me. Nords. Snow. Wolves.

Yeah. I like Skyrim.

[Florodine of Hlaalu]

Skyrim? well i suppose... so who is the enemy? i mean it can be the silhouette but what is he trying to accomplish?

[Fuzzy Knight]

Skyrim sounds good for me... I'm norwegian If we find a location it's just to throw in ideas to the plot

[Konji]

We don't know anywhere in skyrim do we?

[Dantrag]

Yes we do.

My guess is that we can use the names of the locations, and thats it.

[Konji]

Well it seems you ll have your hearts set on Skyrim, but I would rather do it in Cyrodil.

That ship has sailed into icy waters Konradude .

Skyrim sounds great, as it houses mountains, snowy fields, icy passes and those lovable Nords. Also, tons of burial caves and icy caverns.
