    That's fair. For the record though, I'm more than willing to help with those kinds of edits, and I'm sure others would be too. The Campfire's always open for that kinda stuff.

    Heh, thanks Legion. I might post when I'm done writing my second character's POV, because something still feels kinda off. I'll finish it up first though.

    @Legion, that meme is too true X-D

    I'm hoping to get more involved with the WIP corner, so maybe post it there first if you still have doubts about it Felkros.
    Maybe we should do some workshops or writers discuss on how writers can help each other when reading each others materials. I find the longer I sit on a piece the more I start doubting if its any good, so its a good to get stuff out for more eyes see before you get trapped in the endless re-editing cycle.

    Now for a shameless plug to my WIP entry! An interlude for ADWD from the Daedra's perspective.

    Alright. I've just uploaded it onto the Workshop. Check it out here.

     

    And I haven't read a Dance with Daerda, though I've seen it around, so I'll have to start reading that before I could offer any help. It's next on my list though, just gotta catch up with U.O.T.W. first.

    Okay - Idea. I've got an idea, but it's well...out there, per se. Tell me what you think. 

     

    Drelvas Noloryn is one of the great house Telvanni. A Masterful mage, he specialized in the arts of destruction, alteration, and illusion. A fellow Telvanni base, Tel Mithryn was having trouble with rebellious slaves - not wanting to slaughter useful slaves, Neloth was all like 'Hey, Drelvas? You're an illusion master, mind control these dudes :)' So Drelvas, not wanting to be shown up, begins testing mind control spells on animals and slaves, trying to master it to help (or show off) to Neloth. While testing on a goat - okay, it gets batshit crazy here, but could prove interesting - he accidentally splices himself with the goat, giving him the head of a goat and reducing his magical skill to nothing. He has to now leave Solstheim - morrowind is ruined due to the Red Mountain - and has to leave to Skyrim, where no one knwos who he is. He works on regaining all his old knowledge, along with an annoyin girl named Sofia and an overly honorable mercenary named Inigo. 

    Thoughts? I think it could be a welcome departure from my usual tone, as Drelvas would be like this absolutely full of himself mage, who admittedly, is completely powerless - but he still thinks of himself as an arcane god. I think it'd be fun to write something like this, but dunno. Too silly? Funny? 

    I'll be using the Goatman Race by RawrARawr, and some telvanni homes like the field lab 2, maybe Tel Nalta, dunno any others. I'll be on oldrim for mods. 

    Thanks for reading, Ideas welcome!

    Sounds silly enough for me! Also, I see you put Inigo in there. Best mod by far. :D

    Okay - got some new, more fleshed out ideas. Drelvas, our goat-faced dunmer telvanni asshole hero, is sent fleeing from Tel Mithryn because he doesn't want to be ridiculed, duh. catching a boat to Skyrim, the nearest province, Drelvas realises he has little to no magical skill anymore. Absolutely devastated, he has to regain his skill and then cure himself. Travelling to whiterun (haven't thought why yet, should be in like chapter three/four ish) he meets Sofia. He decides to do (put quest mod here) and then he meets Inigo during a meeting in Riften (on way to quest mod) however, he won't ever be cured cause that removes the uniqueness from the story. The whole aim is to have this great telvanni master brought down in both vanity and strentgh. Dunno. 

    Any morrowindian/magical/amazing quest mods that would fit with this character? 

    Thanks for suggestions - the above picture is an image I found on the interent of what the Goatman Race looks like, overdone by my text. 

    Thanks!

    Okay, mods I'll use definitely: Alternate start - arrive in Windhelm by boat - as well as Immersive Armors (but no headgear for fear of screwing up the goatmesh) then I'll get The Field Lab 2, maybe Tel Nalta 2, probably some magic animation mods, maybe a magic package like elemental magic - not apocolypse or anything like those huge magic packs - definitely the Goatman Race by RawrARawr, Sofia and Inigo followers, Interesting NPC's, maybe Moon And Star? Little Vivec's adorable, the voice-acting is insanely above-par - on level with Beyond Skyrim (maybe Bruma, actually?) and the SPOILER FOR MOON AND STAR AHEAD nerevarine would be someone our intrepid goatmer hero would absolutely desire to meet - what self-respecting telvanni wouldn't want to influence and control the destiny of the Nerevarine himself? 

     

    Any mod suggestions, other than these? Probs no college of winterhold, but I'll decide on that.
