jaberwocky Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Goal: Forcing the dragonborn to make sure she has a male follower, as otherwise she won't be able to go out adventuring. How: Introducing a curse called 'hysteria'. The effects are simple, when the dragonborn does not have a male companion, she will be hit by hysteria hard, and as a result, experience a lot of debuffs. A previous idea involved forcing the dragonborn into the role of a (very effective) support/healer while women in general and the dragonborn specifically, are a lot weaker than men. Still like the idea, but a curse like 'hysteria' might be a lot easier to accomplish. Doesn't mean it won't be fun to make women a bit more smaller and weaker, while making the men a bit bigger and stronger and faster. Just not by too much. And this can be done in a separate mod. The follower: There are many mods that allows followers to be a bit more than just a 'companion for adventure'. But to make the dragonborn experience her dependence fully, the dragonborn should be forced to once in a while look for a new man to help her out. So probably some sort of mechanism that will lead to the male companion leaving the service with a cool down before being able to be hired again, might be required. The lore: Apparently women can curse other women with what is called "the green sacrament", with green being the color of envy. The lore might also states that when the person invoking the sacrament dies before the effects wears off, the effects will be permanent. Perhaps the dragonborn will get some clues as to who cursed her although it will leads to a dead end. Meanwhile some books might be added to the game, including one or two cursed women (with the curses having different effects). The dragonborn could perhaps even perform a green sacrament herself. And of course the dragonborn might even suffer a second green sacrament. Side note: When TES6 comes out, I intend to try scripting mods myself. But for now, I am just curious if people like this setup. Doable? Nice effects? Relative lore friendly?

Unoriginal and uninspired. 52 minutes ago, jaberwocky said: Relative lore friendly? Not in the slightest. Your assertion that women are weaker than men in Skyrim is flat wrong. There is no statistical difference. In Whiterun alone you have four female followers who would whoop the shit out of most male characters in the game. Tamriel isn't Earth. It isn't governed by the physical and biological realities of Earth. Everything you want to do with this (force you to take a male follower) can be done without a mod. Just take a male follower. Done. Asking people to spend dozens of hours (if not more) generating tools to replace or enforce your self-control is really strange. 58 minutes ago, jaberwocky said: When TES6 comes out, I intend to try scripting mods myself. "Intend to try" is a pretty flaccid level of commitment. If you can't be bothered to invest effort into your own ideas, why should anyone else? /The above is meant to spur you into proving me wrong.
