FUTURE PLANS (no set timeline yet)
======================================
In the next major update, I plan to include the following:
– A mine (most likely near the Stables somewhere)
– Add more banner choice (Thieves guild, Dark brotherhood, etc.)
– Allow player to choose guards armor type (Dwarven, Ebony, Dragonscale, etc.)
DESCRIPTION:
======================================
I made this castle a while ago, but have touched it up for release for others to enjoy as well. My reasoning behind making this was I beat the game, and of course, I don’t get any awesome place to store all my stuff. So I decided to make this castle for my own enjoyment, and tried to make it befitting the Dragonborn that saved Skyrim from destruction!
In the process of making this castle, I decided to make it offer more powerful than usual items (merchants sell rare items…a lot of them, impossible to obtain ingredients, etc.) because I figured, if I want to have some fun with the powerful items this castle offers, I have them at my disposal, otherwise I can play the game like normal and only use these items when needed. So either way you choose to use this castle, I hope you enjoy all it has to offer and have fun with it 🙂
MAIN CASLTE QUEST:
======================================
– You must complete the Dragon RisingQuest for this castles quest to begin.
– The in-game courier will run up to you and give you the public notice to begin the quest.
– You have to enable “Dialogue Subtitles” in Skyrim’s display settings to see what the castle steward is saying.
– You can either choose to do the challenge or pay the steward by giving him 1000 gold. This is done for backup in case the quest is broken, and you still want to complete it.
