Yeah that would be cool, that could be your job!

go-to response for suggestions around here.

 

The best example of this is the Alik'r asking about the redguard woman when you first visit Whiterun.

It's a good idea, although it requires extra voice acting, and it doesn't really happen in Morrowind at all, I think. It's kind of a shove-down-your-throat tactic, it might help immersion but Bethesda actually just uses it to force you into situations with people you don't care about. I'm not sure where it would fit in Morrowind.

 

Yeah it is definitely not a priority if you think I was implying that, nor is it necessary at all. But as Sammy suggested it could be used with the slaves lol.

You should make a vid of it if possible :D

I like the idea but I. Don't want the questline being shoved in your face because not everyone goes up to a stranger and says hey you wanna join the free masons? Aber ja somthing like that would be cool

Some quests are started by asking about rumors or such and we'll implement them like this for now. But they could be obviously be reworked as scenes when you enter a specific place.

The reason I like the idea is to show some innovation, which to be honest, Bethesda isn't the best at... I think it's a great way to show how far Morrowind could have come on the Creation engine in 2013!

As promised, I had a quick look. This is a nice little scene, adding immersion for sure and it works as advertised.

2 little remarks:

1/ you edited defaultSandboxEditorLocation. We must really be cautious not to modify Skyrim records. Duplicate the record if necessary.

2/ I'm not an expert on story manager branches and nodes so we would have to make sure we don't break anything in skyrim by our addition (also we would need to know about incompatibility with other mods)

 

I think what would be a good next step is to try to find quests that could be started by a little scene like this. The player would overhear a discussion and have the journal updated.

These actually look really cool!

by the nine, this is awesome!

 

"1.  Show an early and detailed cinematic.

2.  Introduce slavery as a large issue in the Morrowind lore.

3.  Allow for a potential sneak attack on the slaver?"

 

nice points mentioned there!

Oh so its overheard while your in the guild room I likes it

Where/How do we see the scene ?

Hey good work so far, I didn't actually expect this to be implementable! I lolled at the female voice acting though haha.

I didn't even realized you were a dude from that vid! How did you get such a beautiful voice? Jokes aside nice ideas :)

I really like this idea, and I'd love to help with it if you'll let me. I've been trying to find something I can do to help with development, but my limited skills don't cut it in any area. This mod is what made me try playing morrowind (I had only played skyrim up until now), and I really love the story. It's got much more lore in it than I thought it would, and unlike skyrim, I've found myself spending hours just reading the in-game books. Problem is, the characters are too stiff, and the lack of animations and voice acting made the interactions a little boring. On a side note, the lack of fast travel frustrated me to no end. :P

As I've been playing through, I've been imagining skyrim-esque in-game cutscenes and events during different parts of the main quest, and I've been automatically coming up with ideas for them that won't break the lore or feel, but will offer a more immersed and enjoyable scene than what morrowind could offer. Problem is, I know nothing of programming, especially this stuff, so I've started practicing with the creation kit. Is there any advice you guys can give a beginner that really wants to help? Also, sorry for the long post, I had a lot to say.

If you guys do go ahead with this, which I'm all for, we need to work something out so I can get all your dialogue, I'll need the npc who's doing the talking what they say and the name for the voice file so I can get them voice acted

I really like this idea, and it's great that you're willing to help the project.

Is it possible for anyone to upload a video of the cave encounter?

Hey Hyozan, we all start with limited skills, and it doesn't take very long before suddenly you're proficient!

Obviously if you can put your ideas into the post that is a good start. Otherwise you could also concentrate on NPCs and quests in Creation Kit to give you a focus. I'd try out the tutorial here : http://www.creationkit.com/Bethesda_Tutorial_Planning_the_Quest

Fighters guild buildings have those rooms with the target dummies and the mats for fighting on but nobody uses them. The target dummies are easy, just put an idle marker or something there but the members should have little sparring bouts with each other. Maybe some of them challenge you like the orc chieftains in Skyrim. Could reward a couple fame points after you beat a few people

Yes, for example, Whiterun and the family feud. Solitude and the execution, Dawnstar (I think) with the people complaining

With regards to cutscenes. How is the Morrowind opening scene going to be handled? With the woman telling you your destiny etc.

I really need to get this downloaded so I can check these things myself xD

LASentry made an updated version with Skywind. And it's not a Wise Woman talking to you, but Azura herself. :)

Gah, I knew that ;) It's been a while since I played the game, I still remember when my brother bought it for me in like 2006, I thought it was brand new ^.^

I love em all and seeing Morrowind given the update is deserves is so warming :D

Yeah I need to do a version 2 though :P

Figured out how to get the daedric text LASentry?

Yes I have the font but I don't know what is says, so at the moment I can't make it the exact same... do you know?

The Daedric text is "The Stranger", the Nerevarine prophecy. Even if you can't read Daedric, the last line is translated during the original cinematic: "Many fall, but one remains."

I don't remember if there's more than just the poem, but if you post the image I can translate for you.

Ok cool, I'll get on it later :)

just fyi, it is already configured so that if you copy your morrowind's mw_intro.bik in skyrim\data\video, it will play when you start a new game. We just don't package it for legal reasons. Also there is an HD remake on morrowind nexus.

What about the patrols from Skyrim? Like how you see thalmor or imperials walking with a prisoner, what if there was a slave caravan or something in Skywind that you could interfere with?

That'd be cool

I really like the slave caravan idea. It just adds more immersion to Morrowind that wasn't possible at the time of it's release but could totally be there now. Any type of interactions like that would be cool. Just random Dunmer herding Guar/Netch, Random runaway slaves asking for protections (kinda like the thief that runs up and asks you to hold the hunters stolen item in skyrim) you can either help the slave or turn him/her in, traveling ashlander nomads searching for a new camp with all their gear and stuff. So many things that could be done to make exploring and roaming more exciting other than just random creature encounters. 

I agree. While obviously the goal is to bring back as much of Morrowind as possible, there's still those areas where we can and should expand upon, bring in new stuff that just wasn't really possible with vanilla Morrowind but still fits right in. Stuff like, yeah, the patrols, multiple models for the same creatures, etc..
