The Next Vote
Added 2023-08-10 23:10:30 +0000 UTCSo, as of yesterday, OBH is in a stable and playable state. There is still a lot to add, but we already have a solid foundation.
And as announced in a previous status update, I want to offer you the option for a bit of variety. While I would personally prefer to directly continue my work on OBH, there are a few other options available for those of you who aren't particularly interested in that. Some among us apparently aren't particularly interested in Orks and would prefer something PA-related or a new Device for Deadly furnitures.
And with that said, lets present today's options. There should be something in there for everyone.
1: Continue with Orkish Bounty Hunters
Self explanatory. As mentioned, there are still tons of planned features left to implement. More camps, more events for the camps, better tactics for the hunting parties, THE STRONGHOLD... just to name a few.
If this options wins, the will be another vote right afterwards to determine which particular feature deserves priority.
2: Addition to "Bad ends - Solitude"
As some people pointed out, the "Roggvir"- plaza in Solitude is awfully under-utilized as of now. So we have the option to add a new PA Event there. In addition to just another Jail outcome, I got the suggestion to hold a few "public events" there where the player isn't actually involved.
Basically we could have public punishments there which are solely focused on NPC´s. Some of the player followers which have been left behind in PA-Jails throughout Skyrim would be possible targets here, but the options here are vast, of course.
3: New Device: Double cross
We could also finally revisit the standalone mod "Pamas permanent crucifixes", and have that sort of device remastered and brought up to modern standards. This time with options for players and NPC´s, as well with new animations and with variations which can hold 2 actors.
This would be an addition to deadly furniture's this time, rather than a standalone mod.
4: New Device: Minichopper
A little something which has been in the works for some time. Not quite finished yet as there are still a few problems with the nif exporter when it comes to animated objects, but nothing unsolvable.

I think this would make a nice addition to the Orks stronghold and camps later, but would for now be implemented as an independent Device for Deadly furnitures.
AAAND those are the options.
Because I feel like I´m a bit behind schedule, I don't want to let this poll run for too long. If a clear favorite becomes apparent I will close it on Sunday (13.06), And if the race is a bit closer, I´ll let it run till next tuesday (17.06).
In the meantime I´m gonna do some animation work on a certain Device cirith has been nagging me about for ages...
If you have any questions or need clarifications, feel free to pm me. If not...
Happy voting :)

Since there are some preexisting models available in zap9, making a new cross would indeed be relatively fast, and it will likely be a reoccurring option in the next votes.

2023-08-12 19:01:58 +0000 UTCI have my preference for continuing OBH and for the Double Cross. I guess that develloping this new version of the crosses (with player options, I hope!) will be "fast" (in a certain way, for sure), and it will be a possibility for you to go back on OBH next version... Which may incluse a cross punishment, of course!
