Please do, Sethyas is your character so you should be allowed to decide on some things.
I have another question for you people, this time regarding my own character, Luper Alkad. Those who have read my fanfics about him may have recognized that he uses some high-profile items. Namely, the unique and legendary artefacts known as Lord's Mail and Chrysamere. If I would give him those ingame, it would lead to an awkward situation because they were no longer unique. So, how to remedy that?
My idea is this: Since Luper's armour is covered by cloth, I figured I could hide the Lord's Mail and also remove its enchantment (the player can't invoke the armour's power because of the cloth. cheap explanation but it works.) This would keep the original Lord's Mail as the better choice in the end. Chrysamere is a different story. If I want Chrysamere to be true to the stories, it should have a constant effect reflect of about 70% (Luper is one hell of a tennis player). Much more powerful than the original. So I'm not too sure about the sword, it sounds a bit too uber. Then again, if the player decided to kill the Redguard and succeeded, it would make for one hell of a reward.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Speaking of Uber, I also made Kills-You-Death, Al's daedric dagger. Using standard cost calculations and giving it the requested charge, the user (Al in this case) can strike for a whopping 3000 times before running dry. With each strike absorbing 25 points of health, I think it might be wise to either increase the cost or lower the charge so that you can actually use up the charge before you've slaughtered everyone on the island. What do you think, Canis?

Gah, don't tell me I forgot about this! Ok, I've dug it up from the pile of dust. Wew, at least it survived all the harddisk cleanings I've done lately. Ahem, character list. Ok, here we go. Name of character followed by writer. Simion Mandrake (Metal Mallet.) Sethyas Velas (Black Hand.) Trey of High Rock (Treydog.) Serene of Cyrodiil (Minque.) Always-He-Lingers-in-the-Sun (Canis. Oh, and the character will probably be called Al in-game, with his full name only in certain dialogue options.) Luper Alkad (me.) Taillus (Taillus) And since I'm feeling up for it, I'm going to add in some of my others as well. Ro-El Frost (He's a spy, sort of. He should be a good source of information.) Ra'trith, also known as the embodiment of darkness. (If there's a real bad Dude in Black needed, I'd say he fits the bill.) Novis (Can't give you his last name. That's a mayor plot point. Anyway, he's a battlemage type, and a fricking coward.) There's still room for Arthago though. Care to have him around? This post has been edited by jack cloudy: Jun 13 2007, 05:52 PM

I see you understood where I was getting at. Always the sly judge of character. Yeah, why not? You could have him around on a mission for Lhotun in Morrowind. Probably assasinating somebody who Lhotun finds dangerous. He'd be a young Redguard skilled with Longswords and medium armour. Based on what I've already written, I think you can find a proper style for his dialogue.

I approve of this mod.

Griff, medium armour comes in several flavours. Since he's from Hammerfell, I suppose that the Western armour forms are best. So that would mean Chainmail. Or didn't he have some form of ultra-light custom steel? Would modded steel armour do?
Mallet, Simion is going pretty much the same way as in Bloodlust. He starts out as just a retired assassin, but after defending the Pelagiad inn from the DB, he starts going nutcase slowly. Maybe I should add a script similar to Lorkhan's heart. Unless hit with Silverbrand in the final battle, he'll simply regenerate.
Canis, I know what you mean by bad AI. Most archers I've seen tend to run backwards while shooting. They only draw their daggers when backed into a corner. I think the Marksman script is responsible. I'll have to check and maybe search the net to see if there is a better version hanging around.
Now if you excuse me, the caretaker of our church has been in the bussiness for 40 years, so we're going to pull out all the stops and hold a grand ceremony. It will be crowded up on the altar.
Edit: I've made a mod that should make the NPC switch to melee sooner. At double the old distance if everything's correct. Want me to send it to you? I haven't tested it but I doubt there are any bugs. All I did was change 2 numbers in the script. Give Al the marksmantoggle script and tell me what happens.
