I haven't played FO4 in awhile but I always get caught up with making my settlements realistic. I'm sure some of you have seen Oxhorn's videos and he has done some really cool things with his settlements but they are like post-apocalyptic resorts. I try to keep that run down, scraping a living out of the dust kind of feel.

in the topic Practical Effect Gollum looks way better than CGI Gollum in the forum The Lounge

Got to agree with you Gollum. I think they did CGI mocap just becaouse they could and not necessarily because it was the best choice.

Yep Winterhold. I kinda wish it was just a complete ghost town except for the college. Maybe leave one beggar who squats in the ruins of the Jarl's house and claims he's the Jarl, and a horker. Just feel that if it's supposed to be a ruined town then go all out, make it a sprawling ruin that's haunted by wolves and maybe worse with the college looming over it all to the north.

Great post DB, I'm really enjoying reimagining the game, and what it could have been. I think giving the PC the chance to abondon/rebel/defect to the other side at some point (or a few points) during the war would be a great idea, but that there should be a "point of no return" for each faction though this point could be different for each one, like the Thalmor might send you to do some shady stuff from the start and if you hint at your reservations they might black mail your character using those very same shady missions that you questioned. There could be a fourth optoin as well instead of Legion or Stormcloak you could try to balance the line between the two. I imagine a scout for the Legion in Stormcloak territory would hear alot of Stormcloak propaganda and maybe it starts to resonate with them making them question the "rightness" of the Empire. Maybe this scout aligns themselves with the Stormcloaks and starts to be a double agent. They continue the Legion questline but alongside it they are reporting to the Stormcloaks. I think this would be a fun way to play the civil war, sort of stradling the fence. Of course at some point the PC will be forced to decide which side he is on, this will probably be an ultimatum of some sort. Like the Legion discovers his duplicity and decides to make a proposal, assassinate Ulfric, they send the scout out to do this at this point you have to choose do you go through with it siding fully with the legion or do you refuse meaning you cannot return to legion territory since your now a known spy for the Stormcloaks. The assassination could be an optional ending to the civil war or it could just be a scripted event meant to shift gears from civil war to DRAGONS! Anyway, I'm really enjoying this and look forward to seeing your thoughts on the Thalmor faction and how the would play.

Very interesting read Mega Deebs. I agree that making the civil war the focus would have been cool, at least for act 1 introducing the dragons at some point during the war/ revealing them as a much more existential threat tha forces an alliance between the two sides would have been cool for a mid game twist. Imagine if we had been playing through the civil war for several hours learning about the character of our particular side of the conflict, rising up through the ranks and invading/defending our territories and all the other pretty cool "side" things the quest entails. Then at some climactic battle, like the sacking of Solitude you find your self on the cusp of victory and then BAM! DRAGONS. The entive pace of the game takes a sudden turn, and you now have to ally with those you subjugated or have been subjugated by in order to fight off the dragons. There's alot of interesting dynamics that could have been introduced to the game. Your cruelty or benevolence as conqueror could come back to bite you making your earlier actions actually have real consequeces and impact on the game world. And speaking of consequences it would have been great if some of the quests were exclusive, for instance the same character can't be both Harbinger and Archmage. The Harbinger would be recognized and allowed entrance at the college as a sign of respect but the offer to enroll would never be given (nor would a real harbinger seek it) this would create a real incentive to replay the game and experiance different quests.
