The threads of prophecy?

Submitted by FearsomeMudcrab on

How are you planning on tackling npc death? I wanted to know if you'll include the death system in Morrowind and the back path option. I'm trying to write up an achievement system for skywind and I needed to know if this will be included since I was considering having you beat the game via the back path be an achievement (the achievement would be called Cutter of Threads- Complete the main quest in a doomed world)

I'm aware that having essential npc's be able to die would likely cause conflict with the radient ai system which is why I never play skyrim with the killable essential npc mod.

There is no plan currently to do the "back path" option, if you're talking about joining Dagoth Ur.

Are you simply making a list of achievements or are you planning on implementing it in the CK at a later point? Because if it's just a list, I'd say it is highly unlikely anyone will spend the time to implement it unless you do it. Power to you if you are. I'd look into how it's done in Skyrim via the CK if you are serious about this.

I'm referring to the option to kill Vivec and bring the unattuned Wraithguard to Yagrum Bagarn and make a jury rigged Wraithguard. Putting it on takes off 200 hp but it means you can skip all the prophecy stuff and beat Dagoth Ur right away. I really loved it in the game since it's very satisfying to to tell off azura and her absurd prophecy. heres a link to the UESP article on it, I recommend playing Morrowind in a doomed world its immensely satisfying and difficult

 

I've been working in CK to make the achievements work properly, i'm mostly using the mod Achieve That! as a base of reference. I still have a ton of work to do on getting it to properly implement and I won't be able to make a definite version until skwind is released in beta so I can set up the triggers properly. You're going to need sky ui to use it mostly because of mgm. I've been fiddling around with various mechanics in the notifications system and my hope is I can attach a small graphic to the achievement notification so it looks more like a steam achievement. To further that end I'm working on a complete list of achievement icons in the same vain as Skyrim. To be honest CK does not lend itself well to ui modifications and I'm not a very skilled modder so its been a learning experience.

cool that you're doing that. I know there's been some talk of this alternative path. Smitehammer has been working on planning it out (among other quest modifications). It's not super high on the development priority right now but it may be done someday when bigger tasks have been completed. No actual Skywind quest implementation has been done for it so far.
