[SUGGESTION] - Cults Skill Lines

onkelaia
onkelaia
We have over the years been given loads of Guild Skill LInes for us to use our points in. BUT!

What I want to see being brought to the table is a new category of skill lines. Since the start of this game, we have been fighting against the different Daedric Princes. Isn't it about time that we are given a way to join them? Join a Meridia Cult for some bonus healing, undead killing... hercine for some bow and hunting fun...

    That sounds awesome! ^-^ I'd love that.

    Yes! Daedric and divine cults.

    It would have to be mostly flavor I think. People have suggested “blessings” already a few times and I like that idea too. Kind of like mundus stones. Personally to balance them they should come with cons as well. Like you can’t have two opposing blessings or if you are going to get the high resistance blessing you can’t also have the high health blessing. Or something.

    If they were mini skill lines I’d join Hircines for the chance to use the Devour passive outside of werewolf transformation. I play mainly Bosmer after all.

    Maybe joining a cult can be permanent per character, that would be a great balancer.

    In Skyrim, the shrines to the Eight (and Auriel, from DG) gave you blessings, which gave you buffs (and cured diseases), but no cons. Would LOVE to see this back in some fashion!

    I'd suggest being able to join more than one... BUT not opposing ones... And if you wanna go deep into one "cultline" you wouldn't be able to go far into the others... Just as you wouldn't be able to hold the president title in 2 diffrent motorcycle gangs.

    And maybe making them not rely on skillpoints... you still had to level them up doing missions for the cult, and then having to use skills to level up that skill and being able to morph it... but as soon as you join the opposing faction you loose the skills you had... kinda like the prince wont give you yer boost.

    Very interesting idea, one that I would love to see!

    Perhaps it could be one set skill line, but depending on which cult you are a member of, they have different effects?

    Perhaps one of the skills could summon a daedric minion for a short time, one that is associated with your current Daedric Prince of choice.

    If you chose Mehrunes Dagon, it could summon a Dremora
    If you chose Sheogorath, it would summon a Golden Saint or Dark Seducer
    Hermaeus Mora would summon a Seeker and so on.

    Why only cults?
    Why not all the religions in tamriel?

    I mean, the eight divines are worshipped under different names all across the land... the daedric princes are worshipped by some, and there are other powers as wel like y'ffre, the hist or the tribunal...

    Worship for everyone! ;)

    It would be nice to have divine and daedra cult. But we should have the possibility to pick only one of them per character.

    Can you imagine that.
    That would be the talk of the town if it were to happen.

    Daedric worship and the eight Divines are for N'wahs. Give this Dunmer the power of the Tribunal and allow her to smite the unbelievers with the powers of ALMSIVI.

    CHIM achieved.

    It could work, somewhat easier considering that lycanthropy is hircines gimmick which fulfills the indirect worship of the huntsman, whilst vampirism, maybe...

    There’s always the thought of turning against malae bal and evolving vampirism into that of the Vampire lord through molag bal.
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    Worship Molag Bal could be really cool. Too bad we can't worship Talos yet :s

    Would open up some additional possibilities for character and story. Already have characters with various religious preferences, and this could help make it more than just something in my imagination.

    I have a dumb suggestion for the story bit, like if you were sided with one Daedric Prince and tried to leave/abandon them, then you a prisoner for a bit or get hunted.

    There are Daedric shrines all over Tamriel. Going with how mundus stones work, maybe the shrines could activate the blessing? I would prefer one shrine for each prince, spread across Tamriel. NOT one shrine per faction.
    I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again.

    My thought was joining a cult... and the further you got into the ranks... doing their bidding. You would get passive buffs, and maybe some active ones... And if you joined one and started going down the rank you wouldn't be able to rank high in any other ones... unless you started working towards that on instead... loosing the "powers" your prince bestowed upon you.

    This could also kickstart an alternative PvP. Prince vs Prince.

    And Not really game breaking stuff either... (though we are considered heroes and should be pretty freaking awesome)... But faster sneaking, higher heal output, even more mana regen, reducing ultimate needed for skill, increasing the effect of mundus...

    And since I really want a viable bow only build Boost the bow....
