damn, i wish i knew about this mod back when it was released, i would have been a good tester for it as i have a passion in making something like this as a great vision for a bandit faction mod.
i only just recently came across this mod.
a little while ago i wanted to create a mod that would allow the player to become a bandit and potentially go to war with other factions of bandits and take over their strongholds and manage them, as if they were only organized through their own faction party, but i was sent as an undercover agent of a kind for Maven blackbrior, where she was trying to get control over these bandit factions in order to keep her criminal empire afloat as the Thieves Guild wasn't getting the job done, but she needed to look like she wasn't involved in any of the bandit stuff.
the idea was to make the player a criminal, there would be small tasks the bandit faction would be involved in, but mostly it was about gaining control over each stronghold within skyrim and taking over these locations and using them as smuggling operations of all kinds of contraband, but also some tasks would be to create a sort of settlement system, but not quite like fallout 4, it was mostly for an established working economy that the player could take advantage of for a evil character type of situation.
you would host bandit raids and pick and choose their weapons and armor used for all locations and set up smuggling operations and even kidnappings for ransom of the great cities, basically the player would become a bandit King when everything is said and done, but it could also be based on choice, the bandits wouldn't have to be evil, but still be criminal, so the kidnappings could be an optional thing to make money outside of the smuggling of goods and raiding of war contraband.
maybe even the choice to over throw Maven and kick her out of the deal and help destroy her family business.
but i never made this mod, my modding skills are not really developed, i have plenty of ideas of all kinds of things to add to a mod like this, but my ambitions are probably far too detailed, and i have all kinds of ideas outside the bandit king mod idea for this game.
I stopped working on this mod because it was just too much work to allow riding a horse into the cave.
The scripting was over-the-top technically difficult.
This was central to what I had in mind in creating the mod. A place to ride to in order to escape the law.
I don't know whether other mods have been created in the last few years that would allow riding a horse into town. If anyone knows of a way to make it so the player, and others in the group, can ride into Lamplight I might restart this mod.
I've also been very sick the last few years. I've flat-lined multiple times. This took my mind off pretty much everything I've had going on in my life.
Thank you to all the kind words about this mod.
If there is still no way to allow horses to ride into towns maybe I can rethink my plans for the mod and pick it back up.
Shortly after meeting the Bandit leader talk to Scurrvy. He comes running up to you. Sometimes he doesn't. It's something that needs some work. But he can be found to the left of the entrance to Lamplight
This is a great idea and so much work allready done. Pity, but it happens all the time - creative minds are better in creating scenography than scripting quests.-) I hope Fragginborn reads this since there seems to be some interest in this mod! I will even endorse because of the good initial work done!
Im running an Intel i7 at 3800ghz, plus a gtx 660ti, and i have no problem running even the toughest HD mods on my comp, but even with everything disabled I get some MAJOR lag just looking at the entrance... I'd love to try it out, but I can't even get near it.
