New quests you would like to see on Morrowind

ikim · Post by **ikim** » Thu May 06, 2004 4:53 am

I was re. to the thread "things I don't like about Morrowind", and I was just saying that MW has a large variety of quests: searching, killing, sneaking, stealing, get this over there, bring me this, find me that... etc.
Do you have other quests in mind?
If so, post them here: maybe we will see them in Morrowind 2!!!

Why would they call it morrowind 2? wouldn't it be something along the line that the first 3 were? like elder scrolls arena, elder scrolls daggerfall, and elder scrolls 3 morrowind. I personally think they would come up with a new name but thats just me. But about new quests..um i think they should add working for someone, like a smith, and he has you make things. or maybe working for an alchemist and make potions. but i dunno

I'd just like the oppertunity to be genuinly evil. Work for Dagoth Ur. (Even if its not Dagoth Ur in the next game).

I was thinking, maybe, it would be nice if you could make a guild of your own, or build up an army, and with that, conquer a city/castle, or defend your HQ, or become the king of some region, and order people what to do to make the reion work properly (but this last idea is too much sim-city like, and it would be hard to make it fit in a RPG).

That's a mod-idea I once had...unfortunately I'm not very good at modding

. The whole idea was about building an own town and later invade other towns..

Those "Thief"-like quests I mentioned in that other thread would be what i'd love. More roleplaying quests would be great as well...without fighting and so on. Check out the "Less Generic NPC Project, Seyda Neen"-Mod if you don't know what I mean. It's great, although it doesn't add much.

Too bad (well, to be honest, I love it) I have MW on the X-Box.
so no mods for me.

there's much you miss

I think the most essential of all mods is real signposts, how X-Box people survive without it is beyond me.

what do you mean? there is a patch also for sign posts? what does it do?

It makes the letters on the sign posts normal so you can read them, it looks very good.

ikim · Post by **ikim** » Thu May 06, 2004 10:56 am

Dunno for PC, but for X-Box, the sign posts are written in strange languages, but a little window, pops up, telling you what is written on it.

arno_v · Post by **arno_v** » Thu May 06, 2004 11:01 am

Its the same on the PC, but with the mod you dont have to put your cursor on the sign to read them, because they are written in an normal language

Dark Master · Post by **Dark Master** » Thu May 06, 2004 11:06 am

It's just much more pleasant I think. I probably overreacted a tad by saying I don't know how X-Box people surive, but I refuse to play until I've d/led the mod after any reinstall of Windows.

I have XBox too

Anyway, if there wes a new quest thing it would be for a new guild. It would be the elete guild because you would need a rep of at least 40. You would have to kill an enemy with only one type of weapon to test your versitility. Every mission has a different weapon involved with it. If you succeded the mission you would earn a weapon that had to do with the mission. If it were a magic mission you would earn the best spell. An example of this would be that you would have to kill someone with a fire spell and you would get the best fire spell. You would have to be really skilled in everything even mercentile and speechcraft because sometimes you would have to talk someone into giving you something. The final mission you would have to kill the Duke or someone important. This would be my super guild quest thing.

shenmue style missions

the signs are in daedric. did I mention i could read Daedric?

I think a cool mission would be Shenmue-esque. (Did anyone here play Shenmue one ? it was class.) anyway theres a bit in that called the 70 man battle where basically you fight 70 people wityh som sub boss people thrown in. it would be cool if you had to go to a ruin and you had to fight like 65 odd random daedra with some Dremora lords thrown in or something.

i dunno, it maybe wouldnt work as well as on shenmue...

well im working on my assassin mod which will be like hitman rather than GTA, allowing for you to kill your target in multiple different ways instead of going and stabbing him, tisk tisk tisk...

also they could have made the sneaking quests a bit more difficult by making it to where if a guard sees you you will be sent out of the building, rather than him greeting you and then walking off, stupid guards. They would also be put on scripted "patrolling paths" so that you could try and actually sneak instead of walking around pressing the button to make sure nobody was there and then takikng the item... there done

Personally i'd be up for just adding more personality to each NPC and creating better role playing dialogues. I hate the fact that you can talk to a guy in Seyda Neen about Morrowind and he sais exactly word for word what an Orc in Dagon Fel sais. Now I know they all have the same dialogue, but come on... a little divesity would be a nice change of atmosphere. Having NPCs remember you, talk to you, ask you random questions, and give you the chance to answer differently (more alla Baldur's Gate). That's what i'd like other than quests, although a nice quest for overthrowing that arrogant king Helseth would be nice ^_^

It would be nice if there were NPCs and NPC-related quests to make creating some sort of healer character worthwhile.

I don't know, maybe the Temple and/or Imperial Cult quests do this, I have not yet explored those factions, but it might add greater human dimension to the game if such a thing were more general.

Actually, what I would really like to see is a druid great house or guild, something like this could be closely tied into the main quest since it would also involve healing the land....

Hey, did you read my posts in the "Things I don't like about Morrowind"-Thread? Exactly what I wrote there...
Are you working alone? If you need beta-testers for the mod, just tell me!

Jope, exactly what the game needs, besides what Blake mentioned.

More like Elder Scrolls 4. Morrowind is the third game in the series.

I remember speaking with several members leading the development team (preview article) a year or so before Morrowind appeared. My impression was that they wanted guilds and factions to be *active,* in the sense of aggressively pursuing an agenda against one another. They're static in the game itself, and I can understand that. Imagine the time it would have taken to code it all in, given everything else. But I think that would be one of my greatest hopes for the next major release: factions and guilds that pursued military, economic, and diplomatic initiatives on their own, and to which you might be assigned if you joined up--not necessarily making your faction a victor, either. I'd like the sense of a dynamic game, in a world that's going to shift its political gears whether I'm involved, or not.
