Threat of Oblivion?

[Evenios]

should oblivion itself be a threat to Silgrad Tower in the ...er...Oblivion version or will that part of the storyline not effect the "world" at all. (seems to me it would)

unless they are lost in some sort of void where oblivion has no meaning in Silgrad Tower. :-)

Oblivion's main story ends with the player shutting the gates of Oblivion, and I've always assumed our mod takes place after that happens because it's a convenient way of not having to think about it. But I'm not saying yay or nay until the game shows us how the Oblivion elements work. I get the impression that the Oblivion levels are randomized whenever the player enters them, and if so it shouldn't be too hard to just set up portals here and there. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess... in the meantime there's plenty of other things to worry about, hehe.

well would you come and attack me if i hide a gate to oblivion underneith some wizards tower? :-p

Evenios: I'm sure you'd be free to do as much work as you want to make our world connect with Oblivion's main story.

[Evenios]

yay!

-commited to having at least one gate to Oblivion in Silgrad Tower :-)

(but who would elect me for president for that???)

Evenios: I have a bad habit of bending words the wrong way.

Actually, having one or more gates to Oblivion "available" in ST-Oblivion would be consistent IF we have a script that checks to see if the PC has NOT completed the Oblivion main quest. If not, then the gates could appear, otherwise, Oblivion is shut since the PC already completed the main quest and closed all the gates.

but what if i want to go back? :-)

"you cannot go back".

i guess i just invision some mad wizard with a gate hidden deep in his tower depths.

but i see your point. if all the gates were not closed then there would still be some threat.

oh well for a seperate mod by me then :-)

"Return to Oblivion" :-)

Or perhaps...

If the PC has completed Oblivion (closing all the gates), we could have a high level warlock that has a series of quests that allow the PC to assist him. At the completion of the last quest, the warlock laughs maniacally! Fire (or lightning) surround him and a new portal is opened into Oblivion! Now the PC must close this newest threat by following the Warlock into Oblivion and "taking care of the situation."

Well, the only reason the portals to Oblivion open in the first place is because the Emperor dies without an heir, and the Devs confirmed that the portals close again after the player solves the main quest. I would imagine a modder would have some expaining to do as to why it's possible to break the seal of the gods and open a portal to hell.

Wouldn't it be equally fun to mod a huge Daedric shrine instead? It could engulf a whole exterior cell - two, for that matter - and have levels below levels to your heart's content, and give the same benefits and thrills as a trip to the plane itself would bring while still being logical. I dunno.
