I like the idea of this mod, typically in any of the cities you are safe, and if this mod were created it would make you carry your wepon drawn and your spells ready.
I have my own questions also.
How would the "ringwrath" find you if you are in a city? I cant see imperial guards letting some hooded and cloaked figure walk into the imperial city without a fight. And if you pick a fight with an imperial guard you get his brothers, cousins and his whole family running at you with bows and swords. So if this wrath existed how would it be searching? would it create such fear as to even the guards would step back and let it pass?
Secondly would anyone know of this ring? if so how would they speak? im sure betha didnt think of adding dialogue based on a ringwrath chasing you, so voices would be needed to match the person talking, cant have some women talking bout rumors and then some big deep voice talking about the ring, it would be like wtf? lol.
And the last few questions. Would the ringwrath be using uber wepons? Im guessing he would be wearing a long black cover all cloth cloak and a 1h sword (subquestion: when he dies do you think he would vanish like a ghost? dont kinda like the idea of being able to use a wrath cloak and sword).
Wouldnt it be better to just have the wrath on SUPER pissed off mode, with 100% agression and it would just never give up finding it, destroying all in its path. Because I think its possable to make it do a test, because most NPC have a agression%.courage%and a responsability% guards have a high responsability % thats why they try to arest you. So maby the wrath could be 100% agressive and cause fear to overide other peoples courage and willingness to fight with them. If no one but you could fight the wrath (or who ever else has the ring) it would make it seem like there is no escape.
Will the wrath go out in daylight.. seems kinda weird if it would.
Overall it sounds like an uber mod, the only dificulty i can see would be to create voices and the AI or the units, good job
Thank you for the VERY long and thought out post!
I will address each question separately
First off, your comment about "if this mod were created it would make you carry your wepon drawn and your spells ready" is a precise benefit and goal of this Mod. The real world requires ever ready vigilance, and so shall Oblivion once this Mod is created and installed.
As for your questions:
1. As far as the guards fighting with the Wraith - The Wraith will only agro on the bearer of the ring, so the Guards should have no reason to attack or confront the Wraith (unless he is killikg YOU ofcourse). So the Wraith should not have any trouble with the guards unless HE makes trouble (attacks the ring bearer).
2. As far as people knowing of the ring (and their voices), under the "Storyline" that I am generating, There will be no need for any voices or of nyone knowing the story behind the Wraith... the story of the Wraith, and of the ring is so old, that it is only written in a Journal (a book). And really, the Journal holds the key to solving the Wraith's and the Ring's problem! As far as the Dungeon where you first obtain the Ring and awaken the Wraith,... well that is just your good fortune (or great misfortune) to stumble across... (Ofcourse the location of the dungeon will be given along with the Mod... but that just gets things going). Ultimately, the resolving (or even understanding) of the story of the Ring and the Wraith will result in a FINE reward/curse on its own.... I don't want to give away too much of the plot
3. The Wraith WILL be using quite the Uber sword and as far as apparel, that is yet to be determined... neither of which are attainable! When the Wraith is defeated,... it merely disappears and then reappears (generally stronger, provided you have gotten stronger) in his dungeon ready to set out for vengeance and reward yet again.
4. As far as the % of aggresion/responsibility/etc., like I said above,... other NPC's shouldn't have a reason to fight him randomly, since other than appearance... this ghost (a hint) bears NO ill-will towards any other than the one who holds his ring!
5. The Wraith WILL be out in daylight, in cities, in dungeons, in EVERYWHERE at ANYTIME.... thats the point.... be ALWAYS ready,... for HE is!!!
I think its going to be an UBER Mod as well.... thanks for the support!!
