Less Generic NPC Project: Maar Gan - Volunteers?

Certainly sounds like an idea we can play around with a lot.

Nice one Fable.

I can see the light at the end of the Maar Gan tunnel, we are 12 NPCs away from finishing. As a side note, JesterKing, I have done as you requested with Miles Glorious, he is now a much tougher fight. One thing though, a couple of times he talks about Manse Andus, and the times that Miles met 'him' he must have been very... very drunk, as Manse is a woman.

I corrected it before I put it in game.

Can i do Novor Gorvas?

Dark Master · Post by **Dark Master** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 5:15 pm

Yeah, go for it. I'll edit the post later, but don't send him to me when you're done, I want to concentrate on Maar Gan until its released now, we're in the closing stages.

When refering to Bolvyn Venim by one of his guards, what do you call him. Lord Venim, Archmaster Venim, Lord Archmaster Venim?
Also, could i do Veresa Salvani?

Dark Master · Post by **Dark Master** » Wed Jun 30, 2004 6:42 pm

Call him whatever you think is most appropriate, Veresa should be fine too.

Hey! I just wanted to contribute my funny little poem written by my drunk poet, Kind Erushara. Thought you guys might like to read it. I kill me.

Morrowind lore: Lore, huh? Sounds like you’re asking for some poetry. Well, I’m the guy to ask. After all, I’m the best poet you’ll ever meet. I’ll recite my “Ode to Matze”:
Ahem.
Oh matze, thou art a woman sweet
Who caresses mine ears and licks my feet
Thy love is a liquid of the gods
Sweet Azura, make all my footsteps matze-shod
For matze is my drink of choice
Oh matze, matze, thy tender voice
Shall guide me ever in mine art
I’ll drink thee e’er before I start
And when I’m through
I’ll again drink you
O inspiring matze, here’s to you.

[/QUOTE]
Whoops. That's all she wrote. I only put that one poem in. Think I should do a little more and make DM wait a little longer? I know I SHOULD... it's a matter of .can I do that and still finish the other three before I'm 98?

You have done well. Thanks for keeping the LGNPC spirit alive.
If I may make one suggestion, depth is as important as width. Study LGNPC_SN closely and you will find many responses based on race, gender, friendship and more. It is quite fun to surprise your public with little hidden secrets.
It is quite amazing to find that the spirit of my little one man mod lives on in the fine work of so many others. Keep up the wonderful work and long live crochety retired pitfighters!

P.S. Cute poem beornica, did you ever read mine?

Dark Master · Post by **Dark Master** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 4:26 am

While we have not obtained the same level of depth as the LGNPC Seyda Neen mod, we do have probably about half the responses different based on at least one factor for each NPC, we've got NPCs that react differently based on race, gender, disposition, main quest progress, items in inventory, and, in Maar Gan, how skilled the player is at differing things. One day I hope to revisit the towns and re-release expanded editions with improved dialogue and depth.

@Bigcat, what can I say? Your mod was one of the first I tried and it is still one of my favourites. I mention in the readme sections of both the mods we've released that we'd wanted to hear from you, first of all I want to thank you for the inspiration that the Seyda Neen mod provided us with, and second I want to ask if you still enjoy writing dialogue, and making a fool like me impliment it into the game. It would be great to have you on the team for Ald-Ruhn, and thank you so much for your kind words regarding out mods.

I forgot a Maar Gan NPC - Huleens apprentice, bigcat, would you like to take a shot at him? If you would then just type out the topics and responses in word, with whatever topics etc you feel like, and I'll put them in for you, or if you'd rather put them in yourself, I can send you a WIP version of the plugin.

Wow! It sounds like you've done even more than I thought you had! Shows what I know, I tell you to take a closer look at my mod and I should clearly have taken a closer look at yours.

Thanks so much for the offer to let me participate in your mod, but I don't tend to play too well with others and right now life has thrown me a few little curves, so I had better decline.
It is wonderful that your team and others have taken a sterile land and given it life and interest and done it all at such high level.

Thats fair enough, thank you very much for your support regarding our mods, and if you change your mind, you know where to find us.

Just me asking for another update as to when people's dialogue will be done.

DM

Dark Master · Post by **Dark Master** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 3:06 pm

NPC's still to do

Outpost done

Shrine done.

In Trade House

Aerin – Does ‘little of this, little of that’ - ALIENSLOF
Uram gro-Glornif – Warrior. - LORDZOD

In their houses

Assirari Zama-Rasour – Commoner - BEORNICA
Ulisamse Soddaniuran miner - LORDZOD

Wandering the streets

Shilipuranj zama-Rassour – commoner - BEORNICA

This is the situation at the moment right? I just wanted to check I wasn't missing anybody's dialouge, or if I've marked you as having sent it before you had.

DM

blake · Post by **blake** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 3:08 pm
