[QUOTE]he Thalmor would use the ports of Luftahraan to have a base to regroup, and refuel their ships when they would attack Hammerfell and High Rock.[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't they have to make it past the coast of High Rock and Hammerfell first? I can't imagine even a Thalmor fleet being able to survive a journey that long without already having bases in those two provinces, which would remove the necessity for a Luftahraan base. If I were a Thalmor general, I'd want Luftahraan to thrive and be a thorn in the Imperial's side, much like the Stormcloaks.
...maybe there could be a rival pirate faction funded by the Thalmor?
Alright I'm done writing done what needs/should be done in order to finalize the intro for the pirate guild and have it ready for development.

They already have Thalmor agents in Skyrim, and it would seem logical that they would the port to strike a two sided work on Cyrodil afterwards. I'll rework it a bit later.

+Continued the dwemer tower, made a stair jungle, feel free to decorate/continue.
Also someone should write stuff about the temple and make it.

Also someone could write about the mage living in the dwemer tower (working for leader too).
To those editing the luftahraan google spreadsheet: Please merge cells.
There is a button with 2 arrows pointing at each other in the toolbar in the google spreadsheet thing. Use it.
Having 1 large cell effecting the size of the whole row looks ugly.
Ther's lots of common citizens and characters to add to the city.
[editline]5th April 2012[/editline]
And free interiors for them.
Actually for the most part it should work out well. A lot of characters listed are actually living in the sewers, so all that's really needed is to add an extra bedroll or two for them. All the business owners could own living quarters in their businesses, the Imperial diplomat and the Thalmor agent could stay at the inn, the sailor type characters could just hang out by the docks, the cult leaders would generally stay inside the temple, Lorod and the arena announcer would stay in the arena (or maybe the former in the slave area, dunno), etc. Then the only people needing regular interiors would be the Ruuz family, Evette and her daughter, Erich, and Ghoragdush the orc blacksmith.

Erich has already been put into an interior.
Ah. Didn't know.
If we create any more characters just make them sleep in the streets.
I need some story ideas quick:
Here's something about that mage, but I've got no ideas left.

Maybe a god made that dream appear so that he could find the remnants and keep them out of the hands of mankind? The Sovereign could be wanting to become godlike or something like that.
-terrible suggestion-
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;35434201]If I could make a suggestion for the Pirate's Guild, I'd really like to see a lot of the action actually take place at sea. To be honest, a whole guild questline surrounding pirates would becoming incredibly dull if there's absolutely no naval combat or settlement raiding or anything. There has to be a lot of adventure outside Luftaraan and Skyrim in order for a Pirate Guild to really shine. The Golden Crest mod for Oblivion is a really good example of a well-made pirate mod (although it's really slow in the beginning).
In fact, the Pirate's Guild should be really be the one of the last things to be made as there's just so much potential in it, and therefore a lot of work that needs to be put into it, and it's probably just best to keep it for last as to not make the whole project seem very overwhelming.[/QUOTE]
Alas, you're forgetting the limitations of the base game.
[QUOTE=vizard38;35434233]Alas, you're forgetting the limitations of the base game.[/QUOTE]
It is possible to do island raids and naval combat (I'm talking more about boarding ships, not really actual ship-to-ship combat). Sure, it might not have the same amount of flair as you'd expect it to have with the limitations that are in place, but it is completely possible. I've seen a lot of incredible things done by the modding communities of both Oblivion and Skyrim, so I have no doubt it's possible (I've actually seen mods that made pilotable naval vessels and island raids and such), but it'd take a lot of effort that could detract from the rest of the mod. Which is why it's probably best to do it close-to-last as there is so much potential for content in itself that it could be very overwhelming.
Of course, assuming you do go that route.
Well we can make something like:
1) Random pirate sees enemy ship far away
2) Captain tells you to go down into the lower depths of the ship and help with cannons or something
3) Enter lower decks, fire cannons, go back to main deck all with various effects like there's intense fighting going on out there
4) Enter main deck, enemy ship now close enough to player ship, planks have been placed so that the ships are connected and the pirates rush over to kill each other
Also, if there's any more menial tasks I can do to help contribute, I'd be more than happy to help. I don't have a lot of experience, but I know my way around the CK. Not much I can actually do, but I thought I'd offer my support anyhow if I'm going to make any sort of suggestion.
I'm 18 but have (unfortunately) not a really deep voice so if anyone needs a teen/child voice, I'd be willing to attempt some voice acting.

[quote]Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the mage
The mage who has ev'rything?
Look at this shop
Gadgets untold
How many wonders can one tower hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) he's got everything
I've got magicks and gizmos aplenty
I've got servos and dynamos galore
(You want Animunculi?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the Dwemer are
I wanna see
Wanna see their genius
Rollin' around with a
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - Centurion
Floppin' your feet you don't get too far
Steam is needed for soarin', warrin'
Roarin' along in a
(What's that word again?) airship
Up where they work
Up where they fly
Up where I can leave all these fools
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give
If I could live
Outta this prison?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Out of the Nirn?
Betcha Kagrenac
He understands
Bet he doesn't reprimand his servants
Bright young mages
Sick o' pages
Ready to learn
And ready to know what the Dwemer know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a orrey and how does it
(Not now Igor) work?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that realm up above?
Out of the Nirn
Then they would learn
That they would burn[/quote]

As amazing as that would be (the lyrics are great by the way) I just can't imagine a musical number going well in Skyrim. I can only imagine walking into the engineer's tower only to hear him singing that, walking around his workshop, hands at his side, just being a plain creepy bastard.
If you wanted to ramp the fear factor up, have him engage the player in a conversation first and have him sing directly at the player. Full eye contact. If only we could do the Oblivion-face-zoom thing, that'd make this golden.

I also kinda-sorta imagined the mage with a psyker voice for some odd reason.
Just let that sink in and give the song another go.
I could do the mage in this voice:[url]http://facepunch.com/threads/1165664?p=34832451&viewfull=1#post34832451[/url]

Maybe we should make rum for the pirate guild ?
Okej I've got a idea that I wanna bounce of you guys. So Mario posted an idea [URL="http://facepunch.com/threads/1165664?p=35424685&viewfull=1#post35424685"]here[/URL], which consists of the player getting placed on an island and then having to prove himself to the guild. I like the idea of the idea of the player beeing on a island at some point. But maybe not to prove himself.
But what if one of the quests are that the player have to move some slaves overseas. (Or skoom) But on the way they get shipwrecked on an island.
The problem is that the shipwrecking won't be very cinematic... It will most likely be that the player wakes up on an island and a message appear where it says like “Oh no, you’ve been shipwrecked” and then the player has to find the wreck of the ship to get his equipment back, and escape the island somehow. And if we say that the player are moving slaves, the slaves that survived the wreck can be the enemies.
Because as someone said before me, it makes more sense to have some of the pirates quests be at sea. Just and idea thought.
Inacio, when you'll add the main story to the docs?
