Nice concept! You might wanna consider adding some form of inner-shadow to the inside of the overlay to reduce the courseness of the edges. Here's what it could look like: http://i.imgur.com/2OdeuyT.jpg

Here's a tiny WIP sneak-peek at Garshakur, one of the mod's major settlements :D http://i.imgur.com/beQYtG1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ecnXrlq.jpg

What I did was create two seperate topics, with an invisible continue connecting them, and a forcegreet package to initiate dialogue. Blank dialogues don't seem to work for me, so you might wanna rewrite your dialogue in a way that you can split it into two seperate topics. This is what the (absolutely amazing) dialogue looks like: http://i.imgur.com/z92K9H3.png This is what it looks like:

If someone can get a group of like-minded people together, and keeps the scope rather small (maybe one good dungeon/raid every 1-2 months), then we could have a steady stream of content for those of us who want to have fun with friends. You'll probably end up the most popular kid on the modding block :D The question is, what kind of experience would you want to create? Something fun and small for 2-4 people? Or more like something around 12? Maybe even more? Can all these people bring their companions and summon things? Because that's gonna mess with your interiors a lot. Tuning is gonna be a thing though; someone probably needs to be clever and script something that scales the stats of players based on the amount active within the current cell. Do I see this working? Yeah, definitely, but not without doing some proper head-scratching and making decisions that some people might find stupid.

As someone who's had to abandon a lot of passion projects for many reasons, I'm telling you that you might not want to continue with this. It looks to me like you bit more than you can could chew, even if you tried to aim for something reasonable. Forgive me if I'm a bit presumptuous, but this is what I garnered from your updates:Exterior area is almost done, but you'll still need to do a polish pass to make sure that everything looks decent, which basically means you'll be spending about 25-50% of the time you spent on exteriors to make it look great. That's a lot of days of work.Interiors are still unfinished, which means that's another load of work that still needs doing. Include the whole bit about polish and it's gonna take even longer.Quests still need to be implemented. Have the quests been written yet? Do you know how implementation works? It's a lot of knowledge you'll have to absorb in order to pull it off properly, which again might take some time. Making kill quests are easy, but anything that involves dialogue, scenes, or packages can easily increase the amount of time it takes to do a simple quest. I don't want to come off as belittling, but it can bite you in the ass rather quickly.Custom meshes and new creatures are a pretty big thing to ask. Artists generally don't throw themselves at projects that haven't gotten to a far stage yet, unless they're crazy-obsessed with the idea or know you as a friend.These points already will take you a long time to do, and if you're not able to give it you all, then the disappointment will only increase with time. You'll either want to find about 3-4 people that'll be as invested as you are in this project to help you out, or decide that this might not be the best way to spend your energy. Don't be disheartened about having invested time in this and having to abandon it. Everyone's had that one big overscoped project that didn't work out for them. I'm pretty sure you had fun doing it, but will have even more fun on something smaller. Maybe make a smaller island next time with a single, really awesome quest?

Yep! If you happen to have any voicereels, feel free to PM me. Such excitement :D Hopefully it'll live up to your epic expectations. Also my own. Lordbound better not suck or else I'm gonna be real disappointed.

Nah, it's tied to one of the intros to the quest mod I'm working on. I'd like to create a more personal questing experience, but will have to watch out to not get in over my head with this; stuff like this tend to create bloat rather quickly, so efficient writing will be key here. I'm a huge supporter of reactivity, so it'll change the way that certain NPCs talk to you, and might have a few benefits (exclusive quests, alternate quest paths, neat loot), but I haven't worked it out the full extent.

You misunderstood. I said custom made quests, not vanilla quests. I want go on custom made quests that doesn't treat you as the dragonborn/dovahkiin. Already on it :ninja: http://i.imgur.com/7gqmhbh.png

What's the spider's aggression? If it's on Very Aggressive or Frenzied, they'll pretty much attack anyone.

The fastest way I learnt to... learn things was to simply try create something small. Set small goals for yourself, which you know you could achieve in under two weeks or less. The basic tutorials helped out a lot, especially the level design ones, so please don't skip them. You'd be amazed how much quicker you learn how tools work if you have to actively solve problems which you encounter when creating your own stuff. But really, don't be afraid to try new things or deviate from tutorials. Here's some things you could try: Make a simple dungeon, perhaps 4-5 rooms in total. Add a few corridors between each room that feels different than the rest in some way.Make a kill or fetch quest. Have players talk to an NPC, or find a quest item, which leads them to the location of an NPC they must kill.

The faction storylines are about 7-8 quests each at the moment, but the Orcs and Imperials oppose each other at a certain point, meaning you won't be able to do all the quests in a single playthrough. It is possible, however, to complete the first few quests for each faction, which gives you a good grasp of their motivations before choosing a side, so the main story could take about 16 - 20 quests if you switch around a bit. We've got a couple of sidequests and unmarked ones at the moment, but the main story is currently top priority. I think it's safe to say that it'll atleast be worth the download :)
