Thank you for the welcome Selene310187!
I would love to explain the mod
though for now I'll only cover the introduction part of the mod. It accounts for about 10 % of the content.
The overall concept is extremely scifi fantasy and even borderline lorehighjacking. It will not appeal to a lot of players for those very reasons.
This mod takes on the whole perspective of traditional Oblivion mods, discards every established best practice, and then views everything from a totally new angle and goes to town with a mighty big bang.
What follows might be a bit hard to wrap ones head around but here we go
(I am also referencing VRgames in the following text, but this mod that I'm making is of course not a VR mod,
what is going on is that inhabitants that we shall pretend are living in the city in the mod, supposedly have access to VR games in their native world
)
OK so here's the juice:
The premis of the mod is that your pc, (the player character), is not a character in a computer game played by (you) a person in our world per se.
Your character is supposedly a living breathing person in another modern world, who enjoys playing games on the computer at home, just like you and me.
You have a job and after work is finished, you can go home or you can travel to the beach to relax or even take a trip to the big city if you like.
The story has a serious backdrop because the poor people in this particular modern world are living under constant threat of an alien invasion from space.
So in order to escape reality for a few moments, many people turn to computergames and VR for fun and relaxation
One interesting store in the city that you can visit has got a few virtual reality machines on display that your character can try. You can always just pass on by, or you can chose to interact with one of these VR machines. No consequences either way, this part is just there for some extra fun.
Each VR machine will transport the player to a different simulation/demo of a VR computer game,
of course the actual TESIVOblivion game is among those games that the player can chose to engage with, but there are others to chose from as well.
The player can chose to end their adventure in each demo/simulation at any time, at will, and then instantly be back in the store in the city again.
Hope this sounds like an interesting setting for an overly ambitious introduction to a mod
I think that the part I described roughly covers about 10% of the content I made so far and would maybe take about an hour to play through.
Of course there are some very bad things happening to the city after that, and that is really when the fun starts and the story really kicks off... elaborating further would lead us heavily into spoiler territory
The overall strategy I'm following when I'm making the mod is trying to emulate the rules that games of old used to follow a long time ago
like the rules in the first generation of first person shooters or first generation of platform games or first generation sneak'em up games
There will be lots references made and respect paid to the good old games of the by gone pionering era.
So the mod is perhaps kind of an alternate start mod/satire/parody mod with lots of scifi /fantasy comtent referencing lots of old games
and in a weird way, Oblivion is in a way treated as a mod and the actual mod poses as the actual game
how is that for weird
