The names of the Five Hundred Companions are still recited, every Thirteenth of Sun’s Dawn at the Feast of the Dead in Windhelm, as the Nords link their current people to their ancestors.
This rite is a pale shadow of the Falmer “Naming the Passed”, which channels their ancestor’s wight-magic (no soul-gems) into objects of their finest craftsmanship: you have to know the name of the dead, what magicka imbued the body of the dead, and match the magic to an appropriate item. Falmer started regularly recycling their spirits for the Night of Tears, when they needed strength to commit genocide. The Falmer fell because these ancestor spirits were no longer available to guide them as a race. The Falmer queen who made this decision became a banshee, who protects the secrets and story.
Competitors for Quests need to brought in TES V. Since Skyrim is in Turmoil, there could be a bounty hunter type system asking you to track down – for example- a Necromancer terrorizing local inhabitants. But if you don’t get the bounty quick, another Bounty Hunter may take the kill and you fail the quest. If you wanted to bring Choices and Consequences into this, a bounty might revolve around a political target, but when you arrive, it seems like he is the victim of a political purge and you may get several options with what to do with him.A. Sorry, But I need the money *NPC’s name*. I’ll have to kill you.
B. Come on, hand yourself in to the authorities, they will find you anyway. -Requires Speechcraft Check.
C. Hmm, you seem to be the victim of a purge and a decent guy. My principles won’t allow me to kill you. I will take my leave.
D. This is wrong. Come on I’ll help you escape. (Truth) – Requires Speechcraft Check
E. This is wrong. Come on I’ll help you escape. (Lie)- Requires Speechcraft Check
F. I just like the killing part hahaha. – For the Psychos amongst us.Its badly written but you get the idea. The “good” options will probably disgrace you as a Bounty Hunter but you may gain reputation with certain groups for your actions. Whereas the more selfish options will increase your Bounty Hunter Rep but make certain groups despise you and even try to kill you. This could make for a fluid political setting. Tyrion1

What’s CHIM? It’s a quality that sets you apart from everyone else – a crown, royalty, splendour. A quality that lets one break a system just by being able to make a choice where noone else can. It’s breaking the system, a system even the gods are part of and governed by and by just this ability, one is more powerful than any Aedra or Daedra. A quality that makes the world spinning, that makes it come alive. A quality that creates possibility. And it’s independent from knowing about it – it works even if one never even heard the word CHIM – but realizing one’s place in the world, therein lies the power. Nalion
