So thats Uram gro-Glornif – Warrior.

PS I won't be online for the next 36 hours or so, as I'm going to London tonight and won't get back until tommorow evening, but by all means email me the dialogue, gives me something to do when I get back.

Man, I just broke into Kind Erushara's hut, and has he EVER got a drinking problem! There are bottles, jugs, and even skooma ALL OVER THE PLACE in there! I'll still make him a poet, (and maybe even a successful one, since he can afford to buy all that alcohol) but maybe it can be use in the rumours and secrets of some other npc's that he is a BIG LUSH.

[~NOBODY~]

I think I can, DM, though I'm not sure what are you talking about ...

[blake]

I think he means just altering the script to where she wont dissapear after you talk to her about going into hiding

[Dark Master]

Yeah, thats what I mean, sorry for the delay, I was off on a jolly to London.

lol, sounds like some very promising storylines can develop out of that one!

I'm just wondering how far everyone has progressed with this. Just me really wondering how you're all doing, so if people could post their progress with the NPCs on here in the next couple of days, that would be great.

Okay right now, I just got news that we are going to move in about a month up to Portland (we live in Eugene, OR). So that held me up for a day or two, sorry about that.

I've started work today and currently have one of my NPCs done, all thats left is the Orc with all of the daedra stuff added to it, expect that done in 2 days at the most, possibly just one day.

[fable]

I'd hoped to get you my 3 NPCs by Saturday, but a planned major upgrade to my computer came through now, instead of next weekend. I'll be dropping off the computer Friday, and won't have it back until Sunday. Chances are, you'll get at least 1 or 2 NPCs late Sunday or Monday.

[JesterKing]

Sorry about it taking so long... I have whats his face the warrior like half way done, I havnet really gotten to play all week long, and I kept putting it off. ok well ill finish him today or tomorrow.

[beornica]

Oooo, nice pageful of excuses! haha and here's mine... hmm, I don't even have one. Ah well. All four of them are half done. I probably should just work on one at a time, but I'll be working on one, and think of something I want to tie into another character, and go back to that one... plus the zama-rasours just blather on and on,and I'm trying to figure out a way to make them more concise. So all in all, I'm *hoping* to have them all complete and sent in to The Dark Master by monday evening. I could ostensibly have it in sooner, but my husband keeps hinting that I should have just married morrowind! lol

[Dark Master]

Thank you everyone, looks like I'll be very busy on Monday then , I'm really looking forward to seeing it, but don't let it get in the way of your real life, its only a game after all.

[Dark Master]

@Lordzod, it would be considerably more conveniant for me if you could email me your dialogue, so that I can just insert it into the game, rather than what we were going to do before, which was me sending you the .esp file, unless it is over MSN messenger or something similar, since I'm working on a few other NPCs all the time, and tweaking something here, or something there are so forth, and I'm already going to have to send it to Nobody for scripting purposes later on.

On that topic, Nobody, you know that after a certain bit of dialogue the script to move an NPC to one place, and unlock a door has to happen right? If I include details of this when I send you the file for cleaning, can you impliment it then?

As a little side note, Ald Velothi was a hamlet, Khuul was a village, Maar Gan is a town, I was originally planning to do Caldera next, but unless anybody had any objections, I wanted to tackle Ald-Ruhn instead. It'll be the hardest of all the cities we do, as its about 2 of Vivec's cantons added together, and we'll do those one at a time. I have an idea of how we might break it down, and I'm already writing one NPC per night for it, so that we have a head start. It will be an huge task, but I was thinking we could break it down into four 'mini Ald-Ruhn' towns. 1 Guilds and pubs, 2 Under-Skar, 3 Shops & Temple, 4 People in houses and walking the streets & Silt Strider opperator.

I will try to recruit more people before we start on Ald-Ruhn, but hopefully, if Arno can help out with it we'll have a team of six to begin with, but I will still look for more.

Ok sounds good DM, im ready =.= Bring thAt town on! Who cares if i havent written all the dialogue for maar gan yet? I'm ready for Ald-Ruhn... Its going down!

[Lordzod]

Hey I just saw this the other day when I was checking out the Summit. There is currently a mod out there called Less Generic NPCs: Seyda Neen. Was that by you guys or someone else? If it isn't by you guys you may want to check it out for some ideas. I haven't yet though, in case you want this to be 100% original.

[blake]

Uhm, that is where we got the idea...
