In a future game, you could become jarl (or whatever the alternative is) who is in charge of a slightly ruined or small city/town (like winterhold) and you can upgrade it in these ways...
1. Build houses: obliviously to increase population.
2. Install Market place: to increase merchants and income
3. Recruit guards: to increase security
4. Build city wall: to prevent bandits and raiders from attacking
5. Build stables: better transport
6. Build shops: increases merchants and income (varieties of shops included)
7. Build guard barracks: they aren't just going to sleep on the streets
8. Build prison: a place to put the lawbreakers
9. Execution stand: increases moral (who dosnt love a good execution?)
10. Build farm: increase income and trade products
11. Build mill: same as above
12. Build port
A lot of little improvements can be added...
1. Improve paths
2. Add lights
3. Improve homes
And some more personal improvements, for your keep, these include...
1. Upgrade keep: this changes the keep from a typical longhouse to something better
2. Improve dining area: makes the food more luxourious, as well as the table
3. Upgrade entrance hall: adds rugs, display cases and decoration
4. Rename keep: you choose
5. Hire housecarl: you can choose one of your followers, they protect you from assassination attempts.
6. Improve meeting room: this varies depending on what faction you choose and includes a map of the province
7. Upgrade throne room: makes it nicer, adds decoration, better throne etc
NOTE: UPGRADE KEEP MUST BE PURCHASED FIRST.
Improvements to the jarls quarters.
1. Master bedroom
2. Living area
3. Porch
4. Garden (there is a door leading into a secluded garden
5. Childs bedroom ( 2 max)
6. Stewards room
7. Housecarls room
8. Corridor
Some more interesting stuff...
1. Improve relations with thieves guild: want something someone else has? Or want to sabotage someone?
2. Make contact in the dark brotherhood: is someone really annoying you?
3. Improve trade relations with a city (you can only trade with people in your province to begin with, you can trade with outsiders if you purchase the expand foreign influence option)
4. Expand foreign influence: read above
5. Add warriors guild: trains your soldiers to be better fighters
6. Add mages guild: allows the recruitment of Battlemages
7. Improve relations with (important person)
8. Have children: (you must have a wife or husband to do this) once a month, if you sleep in your bed, you are given the option to have a child, you can only have two children and there is no animation when you chose the option.
Now, off the topic of upgrades and into the topic of quests...
Once you have become jarl, you can choose to either side with the invaders (aldmeri, imperial) or establish a rebellion. You then have to fight against other opposing cities and take over strategic locations, the more places you take over, the
more influence you have and more people will join your cause, once you have surrounded the capital you can attempt to take it over, once you have done that you kill the guy in charge and you are allowed to either become high king or remain jarl of your city, becoming high king will give you more authority, however the threat of assassination attempts becomes more
likely andyou have to put down possible rebellions and keep people happy.
NOTE: this is NOT a main quest, this is a side quest and will not affect the main quest (whatever it might be) in any large way.
There are also a lot of local quests which involve helping your city, but I won't go into them now.
Thank you for reading, any feedback will be much appreciated, there will no doubt be things that I have missed out, if you have any ideas or please post in the comments, if I think they are good I will add them to another section of this comment and I will put your name next to your ideas.
Please feel free to ask questions
NOTE: I only used the word jarl because people understand what they do, not because I want this to happen in skyrim only, you could use the same idea with a sultan of Elsweyr etc
User ideas ...
1. A shrine to whatever god you chose - Quanah
2. The ability to hire an expert architect who can design buildings in a certain way - Quanah
3. To be able to chose how you rule your city - Quanah
PLEASE UNDERSTAND: this is an optional thing which you can choose to do based on who your character is, it does not need to be done and it is only there as an extra thing to do. if you were role playing as, say, a nordic hero who was the rightful jarl of a city but was unfairly ousted by his evil stepfather, then this is probably something that you would do. but if your playing as an evil orcish assassin thief then maybe don't. its all based on what you want to do
