This is ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT ADVICE from Peregrine and I cannot understand why anyone could not understand it .. it is stated so plainly and simply and yet with so much insight. It should indeed be a pinned thread. I am so moved by it that I have a rather odd request for you, Peregrine. May I possibly paraphrase it a bit where appropriate and make it into a book scroll for my present house mod I am building for a house mod contest at TESFU forum? I have included many of my elder vaults and some TES fan union friends in the mod and I would like to add this sage advice to my library .. if you are willing. I would refer to you as an Imperial soldier giving campaign advice (or really any character type you wish .. telvanni wizard, hlaalu merchant, etc.?) I mention paraphrase to make it sound more pertinent to being read in a Morrowind scroll (on Solstheim Isle). Maybe change the word "proper English" to 'proper language' .. change word "computer" to 'system' ... change word "mod" to ' project or campaign'. What say you, Bird from Hell? If you don't like the idea, cool enough. But I really like your advice and believe it is even more univerally sound than mere modding. Can apply to alot of projects.
