Underwater Adventures ! !

RavenWhitehawk · Post by **RavenWhitehawk** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 9:49 am

I Don't Know how many Oblivion Fans Like Underwater Exploration, but it seems to me that Oblivion has a lot of unused space, in the Areas with Large and Deep areas of Water. I had a Thought about utilizing those Areas for Unique Encounters, or Maybe Finding a Long Forgotten, Sunken Ayleid City, Or maybe Even something Older then The Ayleids. After All, that is the Real Purpose of Modding, to Add Content.

I wonder... how many people would be interested in something like that. My Thoughts and Creativity are always on a Grand Scale, most of the Time they are beyond my Capabilities.

But I need input from other Players.

If this Strikes you as an Interesting Endeavor add your suggestions, thoughts, and so on and so forth here, I would be very interested to hear others opinions.

I will continue to Ponder, and see what I can come up with.

I did a bit of underwater exploration and i agree that a lot of unused space exists.I have seen a dragon mod(don't remember the name) in which you could fight a dragon,so probably a underwater city which is a home to a leviathan or something of that sort.I always wanted a underwater showdown.

More On This.. I feel something coming on

...so probably a underwater city which is a home to a leviathan or something of that sort.I always wanted a underwater showdown.

that is so Weird, because I just had an idea, I will post it here and maybe we can add to it. and then turn it into something great.

During your Underwater Exploration you come across the entrance to a series of tunnels that lead to what Appears to be a dead end. But on the Wall of the Dead end is a Strange Archaic Symbol. well, being an Adventurer your Curiosity has Got the Best of you, and Visions of Vast Treasures are Coming to your Mind.
You Must Find out what that Symbol Means, there is a Small Chest in the Corner you open it, there is a stone slab that has the same Symbol, you need to find a Scholar of Ancient Languages to decipher it.

This Could be the Starting point of a Quest that lead to...

An Old Elder Scroll

...This New Elder Scroll Mentions Grand Cities of Underwater Folk, that Lived Even Before the Ayleid Times, Since all Life Starts in Water, I think it would be Very Exciting to Discover this Ancient People.

But of Course you can't Just walk up to this Elder Scroll and Take it, there is something Big and Fearsome Protecting it, Something that Lives in the Large Mote that Surrounds a Platform in the Center of a Large Cavern.

I Love Underwater Cities!

"Ponder"! Heh! There's a "Ponder's Restaurant" in Ardmore, OK.!

Anyway, Raven you have a great concept! I know of a "Water Nymph" mod and a mod that gives you an underwater house, dome shaped, in Bravil. Perhaps you could start off with those? ("Bravil Sea Dome".)

Also, don't forget the Vampire DLC and the Knights of the Nine DLC, have underwater doors that you can use as well.

There's a Sirens mod that gives you mermaid and merman tails.

or maybe a foreign scholar comes to one of the cities and gives us this quest.He tells us that there is a object of immense value(Elder Scroll) hidden in a underwater city.
I was thinking maybe this mod should span over the entire region,we would get clues one by one which would finally lead to the elder scroll.There could be some other forces looking for the scroll too.
About the ancient race,would they be evil or good?
What are you thinking about the creature guarding the scroll?

Good Idea's, keep em coming(Possible spoilers!)

Also, don't forget the Vampire DLC and the Knights of the Nine DLC, have underwater doors that you can use as well.

yes those are good Places to Start. also I found a Fort Ruin (Fort Cuptor) in Lake Canulus, that is already semi Submerged. Thanks for your Input LeoStar. (by the Way, if you can find that Mod for the Underwater house in Bravil, could you give me the Link for it so I can download it and Check it out, I may have use for that.)

More Good Stuff;! as far as the New Race, all Races have good and Evil, we could have both. Maybe Enter this new Place in the Middle of a Faction War.

as far as the Creature Guarding, I was thinking, remember the Giant SlaughterFish we Encountered in one of the Quests, maybe something like that only BIGGER and Meaner. Thank you for your input also, rohitnairin

I am going to Start Trying to Get this Concept down on Paper first then work on getting it into the game, got lots of Details to work out, but all these Suggestions are AWSOME, keep them Coming!

"The Bravil Sea Domes"!

Good Morning, Raven!

Okay, here's the first link I found for it!

http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/downloads/8690-the-elder-scrolls-4-oblivion/84-mods/details-24165.php

There's also a demonstration video at "YouTube".

I've also attached an image of a "Water Nymph" so that you can see the webbed hands, etc.

I hope that helps!

I know of that ruined fort too.

By the way, someone else made a mod with "Excalibur" and "Merlin's Dagger". He placed them on an alter underwater! So with it you can sleep underwater on that alter if you can breathe underwater!

Enjoy!

An Update on this Concept

Hey Everyone

Sorry I haven't been here in a while, but I have been slaving over getting my Oblivion Game up to Par. Everything I am working on is in preparation for making this Underwater Exploration Concept a Reality.

I am adding Mods Like EXNEMS Body Replacement, I am currently looking for the HGEC upate for Exnems Body.

I also have plans for using the Aquatic Elves mod for the inhabitants of this new Aquatic World. And any other Aquatic Races that I may Stumble upon.

It has taken me this long to just figure out how to use those mods and get them to work, I am still learning but I am getting a better Idea of how to do it each time.

I will try to keep checking Back here and keep you all that are interested up to date.

Well, I have a lot of work to do yet so I am gonna get back to it.

Later Everyone

Raven

P.S. I found the Bravil Sea Domes, the first time I added it, it didn't work, but now that I have a better understand of what I am doing I will be trying it again. Thanks LeoStar

this idea sounds absolutly wonderful i too have longed to explore the oceans of tamreial, but what you people seem to delving on are caves and ancient races which has just made my intreage peak, but if i may add some insight perhaps this cave should have a more horror feel to it and maybe introduce some fear, perhaps its not unexplored just hidden maybe its a place which others have found studdied and perhaps something went wrong, something may have been released, something even more anciant than the aylids, and maybe the alyids hid it away at the deepest parts of the ocean hoping that people wouldn't reach it

Happy Earth Day!

You're welcome, Raven! Funny that you mention that. It worked for me. But then there was promise of making the Chess Game function, rather than be mere decor, and that's when it stopped working for me! I liked it, before that, but I feel bad about having so many homes in the game that go ignored while away from home. Especially as the Bravil Sea Domes one comes with pet fish. In real life I feel guilty when I leave the house with my cats left behind. It bothers me in the game too, although it shouldn't. But I digress I guess.

Don't forget about the giant Slaughterfish part of the Thieves Guild! Maybe parts of it can be recycled for your use.

Other water related mods that I know about, include one with a quest with a Queen Mud Crab, who is of giant size. The reward is a new home in Weye. I unchecked it, to try the Weye Market mod. But stopped using both. Hm. It seems like every mod made for Weye, puts new buildings in the same spot! But this mod placed a hatch door under the nearby bridge, that leads to the lair of the Queen Crab. She and her brood are attemping to invade the land and take it over from people! Your goal is to end her invasion plans!

Uh, I have the site for Eye Candy saved as a desktop shortcut. I'll fetch the link and be right back. Here it is!

I'm still logged in there. So please ignore and make your own account to avoid confusion, thank you!

I think the merfolk one is in there somewhere too. Enjoy!
