Vote concluded - and the winner is...
🕑 Added 2023-08-17 21:57:58 +0000 UTCI COULD give a very long winded speech with a lot of fancy words to dance around the actual Subject matter, but you have seen the preview image. So you can probably guess the result.
But I want to stress how INCREDIBLY close the results are. So I now have the problem that over half of you didn't get what they wanted, and I already feel A bit sorry about that.
So, without further Ado, here is the result. With only 2 votes more then second Place, the winner Is:
Solitude - Content Expansion
This was an absolute photofinish between solitude and OBH. When counting the votes from all Platforms (Patreon/Subscribestar/Pixiv), We are looking at a 64 to 62 total votes for the two most popular options.
And while I would have personally preferred to continue with OBH, this outcome is more then acceptable as well and I already have made a few plans for practical implementations.
So, what will we get?
I already teased it in the poll, but lets bring up the enablers up to speed. As I mentioned (somewhere), for future mod developments, I want to put more emphasis on immersion and continuity, which means that NPC´s will play a much more prominent role in the more "final" events. The Idea here is simply to bring the Deadly devices and new Scenes meaningfully into the game while avoiding reloads fir the player. This does of course not mean that the player is safe. Whenever you will see a former follower or NPC getting prematurely elevated to their respective religions afterlife hangout, you can be sure there is a way for you to meet the exact same fate.
But more immediatly, what will I be working on for the next weeks?
Well, Solitude is a big city, and while we do already have an PA event for it, in the months since its release, a lot of folks on the Discord have voiced their desire to have something a bit more public. And since Solitude already has a dedicated space for this and even comes with a large built in audience, there really is no argument against that. So, going forward, Roggvir will get some company. Not quite sure which device will be used, but it might just as well be multiple.
One noteworthy addition over previous PA outcomes is the Planned NPC-only feature. This means that when the player enters Solitude at any given time, there is a chance that there is currently an ongoing disposal event of any criminal elements. This could be random bandits, but more likely, followers which have been left behind in PA-enabled jails throughout skyrim. Or maybe it could go as far as selecting Player-friendly NPC´s or potential followers on suspicion in case the Player has a high bounty somewhere.
While I´m usually not a big fan of these scenes without player involvement, Solitude is a closed and safe environment without many potential sources of interference, So I think I can risk it here.
Due to said "safe environment", and the amassed experience from all the other scenes I have made so far, I expect this to be finished RELATIVELY fast. At least when compared to the outdoor Event pack or the current state of OBH.
So, I´m gonna get right to it. If you have thoughts or question feel free to let me know.
And because I´ve heard this more then once by now, I just wanna put this out there:
Its perfectly ok to send me private messages. Be it here, on discord, or any other Platform. I´m not a celebrity and you aren't wasting my time. I´m always happy if I can help someone new to get into the world of modding :)
With that said, as always. Thank you for your enduring support and patience.
We have great things ahead of us.
