Project Shezzarine (aka: Followers Rewritten)
Project Overview
STTP:
I'm making a huge quest mod, which also features male romance/friendship. I write the stories and make the dialogues in CK, and need voice actors and actresses.
Brief introduction:
I am making a mod that adds in-depth stories for VANILLA followers. At first, I only knew a few about CK, the best I could do was doing facelifting; but thanks to WraithSlayer's guidance, I know how to make the dialogues and very basic scripts. My major talent is composing stories and doing writing stuff.
In the mod, the player will get to truly understand and become actual friend or lover of some MALE followers (and some non-followers made followers). I don't plan to make female ones, at least for now, as there are plenty of female follower mods out there already.
Features of the final product:
- A brand new questline with numerous options, featuring what happens after the ending, marking the end of the Dragonborn's destiny
- Enriched vanilla NPC personality and background story
- Realistic romance with vanilla NPC
- Player's decisions and words have impacts to your relationship with the NPC and the whole story
The style of this mod's story will be epic, grim and dark, and occasionally grey.
Why do I want to make this mod:
Vanilla Skyrim has a great lot of characters, yet few of them are actually worth-noticing and remembering.
It is understandable that Bethesda simply didn't have that much time and resources to write dozens or even hundreds of lines for each character. Unlike games such as Dragon Age, which the writers only have to focus on some dozens of lead casts and write some insignificant lines for the side characters, thus shape great main characters.
However, I don't believe the way how Bethesda writes their story should be accepted simply because they couldn't do the otherwise for the sake of feasibility - not while we writing modders can make a change by rewriting these characters in mods.
Skyrim has the potential to shape impressive and epic characters, given the tremendous lore background of The Elder Scrolls series. With our ability, plus the magnificent world Bethesda has created, we can make a game that has great stories.
I intend to rewrite Skyrim to its apex of epic.
Besides that, I also noticed that there are too little choices the player can possibly make in the game, in both conversations and quests; plus, the player's choices often do not matter to characters, let alone to the game's world. The dialogue choices usually fail to show the personality of the player character, thus roleplayability is not high to my standard.
In this mod's rewritten stories, the player can say different things depending on their affiliation and personality, and make choices that influence the characters and eventually the entire of Tamriel.
I also hope to give better choices of romance to the players.
I know three mods that introduce male romance to the game: Skyrim Romance Mod (SRM), Amorous Adventures, and Interesting NPCs.
In SRM, the PC is unnaturally attractive. Every man added by this mod has irresistible desire to bang the PC, and most of them are similar in a lot of ways. They also speak unnaturally sweet, and I'm embarrassed whenever a man of SRM speaks to me. Only a teenage girl who fancy love stories like Twilight would find SRM exactly what she needs. The romance of SRM lacks depth as well.
(This is based on 1.0 of SRM. Hadn't got the time to try 2.0 yet)
Amorous Adventures adds 3 male romances: Vilkas, Farkas and Ralof. The "romance" of Ralof is not a romance at all, and that of Vilkas and Farkas lack depth; also, all three romances haven't even a single interesting point. In short, they're lame. But in fact, the author confessed that (s)he doesn't find making male romances easy or interesting, and won't do male romance in future; so we shouldn't demand too much in Amorous Adventures' male romances, as the author didn't intend to make them in the first place.
As for Interesting NPCs, romance is neither a main part or an important feature, so it shouldn't be listed at all.
Therefore, I wish to add some solid male romance options, which are not overly-sweet, Twilight-ish or lame. I want to make male romances that are natural and realistic, interesting and not lackluster, and most importantly- they should have depth for players to think about and consider.
And personally, as a game-lover, I'd love to gain experience of writing actual scripts and stories, so that I'd be more likely to be able to apply to a writing job in a game firm.

Imperial battlemage, loyal to the new emperor Julius Mede. Uses neutral and cold tone most of the time.
In fact, he is gutless.
I will not sit idly by and wait for the others to decide my fate!
Psijics, imperials, Thalmor, Stormcloaks - in the end, they are all meaningless. The world will be united under the same banner.
No more! I yield! We can take it easy. I do not... I do not want to die.
Pronounce words correctly and with some extent of elegance. She is in truth an educated noble, but was forced to marry a yokel.
How dare you two come back to our home! You should rot in Oblivion for playing with your disgusting magic!
Even now, I can't begin to imagine what terror would you wrought with that dangerous power. Fools, you will suffer for those spells of yours!
So that's what you want from us, huh? You're pitiful. You have no respect for your parents and your tradition!
Brutal, merciless. The ultimate antagonist of the whole story. Son and heir of Titus Mede II, but there is a lot more than this title...
Around 100 lines
And now, Shezzarine, I have finally defeated you in the tides of fate. Let this world die, and its true god be reborn!
I will shatter a hole at Aetherius and have my vengeance!
You would think I care about these pointless mortal nations, given I am the emperor now? No, Shezzarine. Every creation in this world serves only one prupose, and this purpose is me.
Uneducated yokel. Typical medieval peasant.
So WHAT? I tell you, you be the true ignorant people, and know nothing about yourselves and you'd call down the Gods' punishment to yourselves!
The world would be better place if there be no fucking magic. The Gods lead us through and your vile sorcery will just destroy the Gods' mercy!
You, damned mages. We do not have mage children.
Uneducated yokel. Typical medieval peasant.
Hey, look at that one. Freak!
We don't not welcome you here.
A mind-controlled noble.
I... I was not sure. Everything sounds like a dream.
Here, this way. I know he is here!
Thank you. I will leave this place at once!
Cynical and occasionally extreme, but he wishes for the greatest good of the people. He hates unfairness and realizes what a dark era Tamriel is in, and he believes that a strong and righteous faction should conquer the empire and the provinces in disputes.
He is emotional at times, but usually he uses a neutral tone to speak. When he talks about things he despises, he tends to be serious about the matters and shows strong emotions.
Around 3000 lines.
The brave people of Cyrodiil will overthrow the corruption of the White-Gold Tower; the wrong of monarchy can at long last be undone!
Can't you see the bigger picture? It is Julius Mede we are talking about. If you can realize how dire the situation is, we'd be better prepared.
Our bond could, and can, destroy all darkness that seek to shatter it.
Psijic monk. Antagonist.
I just want you to see how hideously that cat died. His wrath shattered him into ashes.
Soon, He will return, and unmake the mortal bindings forced upon us. We elves will become gods and goddesses again!
"Aldmeri Dominion", a foolish name suggested by an ignorant woman - the woman that has failed her destiny thrice!
An ancient snow elf queen, the incarnation of a god. The ultimate evil that caused everything in this mod to happen.
Ye angu cantye, kynd, sye av Magnus - angua Nirntarn! (And I name you, my creation, the Eye of Magnus - my channel to this very world itself!)
Shanta, kynd, asvanen anguadabala. (Approach me, my son, bathe in my almightiness.)
Shezzarine! Kynd... Ceyede joran. (Shezzarine! My son... Such betrayal. (dying whisper))
Ayranaceth's son, an ancient prince of snow elves. An incarnation of Lorkhan, a violent militant.
Morthahia, Ayranaceth. A trumbi tyebala. (Your fate is dark, Ayranaceth. I take your power now.)
Nagaiale! Molagi sourahtan! (Slaughter! Burn all that you can reach into ashes!)
Vashawend, mama, anda elden. Oio angalayond na heca. (Farewell, mother, old friend. The eternal winter is over.)
Leader of a cult that worships Hermaeus Mora. Creepy and sneaky.
Welcome to the sanctuary of Hermaeus Mora's followers. Are you here for the pursuit of the knowledge in Apocrypha?
Release this dragon?! Have you lost your mind? I will not allow such... blasphemous freak to escape from my lord's justice!
You... You are the emissary of His magnificence! I am truly humble before you.
Aspiring follower of Hermaeus Mora's knowledge.
Greetings, pursuer of knowledge. Are you here for great Hermaeus Mora's knowledge?
Our library contains knowledge that can rival the one in Alinor, yet it is only nothing when compared to Apocrypha.
How... how is this even possible?
A Khajiit in the ranks of Thalmor. He is usually humorous and neutral, and doesn't show strong emotions.
Around 50 lines.
I'm glad that the old bastard died, but more so, I'm delighted to see you return to me safely - not that I didn't expect that, of course.
You have no idea what a cunt he was back when Cindarin was still powerful in Elsweyr. Thank Auriel that Archon Thindrel got the upper hand in there.
Chase those Psijics, hunt them, stop them. They cannot be allowed to use the Eye to harm this world... Because they have the knowledge to do so.
Uneducated yokel. Typical medieval peasant.
Hey, look at that one. Freak!
We don't not welcome you here.
