A lower class district along the north side, with the cathedral. Pretty much all compatibility for Bravil will be unaffected.īruma: The city has been reorganized with the castle as the central feature, and the rest organized into districts. You can also see that in the SW corner next to the cathedral that the book store for Lost Spires fit in nicely and that patch is untouched. Every 5th day of the month, a ship will show up at the dock, to simulate ongoing trade. A dock has been added to the south side of the city, along with a small farm to at least make it appear as though they can feed themselves.

Otherwise it will be kept to fill in any needed spaces.īravil: The castle area retains its walls, the rest of the city loses them entirely and relies instead on their island nature to be used as a defense.

Content from the Anvil Bay Expansion may end up being removed if there's no need for it with the new layout. Due to content distribution rules, I cannot link to it, so if you don't know what this layout looks like, just trust that it's pretty cool and will justify Anvil keeping its high city walls. The plan breaks down as such for each city:Īnvil: Will be transformed into as close a representation as I can make of the concept art included on the Oblivion Collector's Edition DVD. The Imperial City will also remain untouched, for obvious reasons. The primary reason for such tall walls wasn't for realism, it was to block out the unpopulated closed city spaces behind them.įor reasons of compatibility and lore, Kvatch will not be affected in any way. The idea behind this is that with the cities in the open worldspace, they should be visible behind the walls. For example, Bruma now has wooden palisades instead of ginormous brick walls. The city walls in each affected city will also be modified to suit the environment. Where none is available, I will exercise my own creativity. Where possible, Bethesda's concept art is being used to follow the layouts.

This will revolve around having the castles be the central structure of each city with the layout altered to put the housing, shops, and cathedrals around them. The project aims to redesign each city covered by the original Open Cities in such a way that would make more sense strategically. Open Cities Reborn takes the concept of Open Cities and steps it up to the next level.
