Need opinions for a mod

[caldera_modshop]

I'm making a huge mod, called Colonial Civil War (CCW) and have planned eveything I need to do for it.

 

There are just a few things I need to clear up, and I thought some of the community might have good ideas. I also wondered what you thought of these ideas...

 

STORYLINE:

Some 20 years after the death of Dagoth Ur, the Emperor is visiting Vvardenfell to celebrate the beast's defeat. However, on his way to visit the Poet-Warrior Vivec, an unknown marksman atop one of the heavily guarded Canton roofs dispatched the Emperor with one arrow to the throat. Upon inspection of the rooftop, the Ordinators were found to have suffered the same fate as the Emperor, arrows in the neck chinks of their armour. Stuck to the arrow in the Emperor was a note, a piece of tattered Corkbulb paper with a scrawled note saying

 

A New Age Has Arrived

 

Due to the nature of his assassination, the heretical step-lord, Urilius Khal (imperial) ordered the segregation and execution of every Bosmer in the land. A new age dawned on Morrowind, an age of Colonial Civil War.

 

However, in light of this crushing conflict, one INSERT YOUR RACE HERE, by the name of Your Name has sided with the armies of the Bosmer. Alongside the Bosmer march the other segregated races, the Khaijit and the Argonians. Wars rage in the cities and crime is rife. Not a street in any town is free from theives, bandits or prostitutes. The fine Third Era has ended.

 

 

Basically Argonians, Khaijit and Bosmer vs. Orcs, Nords, Imperials vs Dark Elves and High Elves.

The heretical step-lord, Urilius Khal [took the throne].

 

Even though the Emperor has no known heirs?

[urilius Khal] ordered the segregation and execution of every Bosmer in the land.

 

...And people complied?

A new age dawned on Morrowind, an age of Colonial Civil War.

 

That's quite significant, considering that the Empire holds no colonies.

[You have] sided with the armies of the Bosmer.

 

Weren't they all executed?

Alongside the Bosmer march the other segregated races, the Khajiit and the Argonians.

 

...Because, as we all know, if you're going to ostracize an entire race, you might as well throw in the beast races as freebies.

You're a real boy scout, aren't you?

Basically Argonians, Khajit and Bosmer vs. Orcs, Nords, Imperials vs Dark Elves and High Elves.

 

It would not logically follow that Dark Elves and High Elves would take this opportunity to fight against the beast races, "lesser" elves, and men.

One word. Fargoth.

Marxist, you HAVE taken history classes, right?

Change that to Provincial Civil War, then.

Their executions were ORDERED. Odds, are, they probably hightailed it into the jungle, or whatever Valenwood is.

Agreed. That's about what I thought when I first saw that line. But I think it better to simply say he's not a Dibellan cultist.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A lot of High Elves DO seem rather Imperial, at least heavily biased that way. As well, they HAVE fought the Bosmer in the past. They mightt consider this an opportunity to finish the job. The Dunmer, though, would be perfectly content to let everyone kill each other off.

Perhaps a split dialogue set would be appropriate to reflect whether the player is defending his homeland, or has simply decided that supporting the rebellion is the right thing to do?

Hey caldera_modshop

My Ad-aware doesn't like your website at all!

DyFuCA Trojan

jkill.exe

What gives?

 

Edit: I found out that cjb.net is a "free" URL redirection service that adds advertising to your site. Some of their "advertising providers" are inserting adware & spyware.

[caldera_modshop]

No, it probably is just that the site isn't up yet. I messed up one of the Markups and couldn't be bothered to redo it yet.

 

 

The Dunmer, though, would be perfectly content to let everyone kill each other off.

I just put those in there cause I wanted everyone involved, except for the Redguard, but if I told you more on them then the storyline would be boring.... :huh:

 

Their executions were ORDERED. Odds, are, they probably hightailed it into the jungle, or whatever Valenwood is.

 

They hide in Morrowind, in the Ruins and the Underworks, anywhere they can hide.

 

That's quite significant, considering that the Empire holds no colonies.

I put that in because the quests take you across Vvardenfell and Solstheim, where you try to get the Falmer to help you.

 

Even though the Emperor has no known heirs?

 

Urilius is a tyrannical warrior-lord, whose two sons, Torquemada and Mordecai, have strange powers. Torquemada, the youngest, has Psychic and Telekinetic powers and Mordecai can control the beasts of the land. They use their powers and martial prowess to fight their way into ruling state.

I'd like to know what the hell kind of site you're running where obfuscated scripting that installs a porn-dialer and 180 Search Assistant is only half of the story. Additionally, I would like to know what the hell kind of person maliciously distributes a link to a site where such code is contained within a signature for a forum that expressly prohibits linking to pornographic material.

[After the execution order, the Bosmer] hide in Morrowind, in the ruins and the underworks, anywhere they can hide.

 

So let me get this straight... After the execution order, all Bosmer begin a mass exodus to the island of Vvardenfell for some unknown reason. During this exodus, nobody is the wiser as to their existence, for reasons unknown. After they arrive on Vvardenfell, they go out into the Daedric shrines and such places, which sustain a dozen or so men at capacity, and are raided frequently.

[During the main quest,] you try to get the Falmer to help you.

 

If you want us to provide negative feedback on your storyline, you've made it far too easy with that statement.

...And then, the three men, two of which have powers easily replicated by a standard-issue battlemage, and one of which is entirely unremarkable, somehow defeat the entire Imperial Legion, all of the Emperor's peripheral forces, and various other entities aligned with the Empire, including the Moth Priests, the Elder Council, and numerous deities. They then set forth a decree, expecting the general public to believe that the order is in revenge for the assassination of the Emperor whose forces they defeated.

[caldera_modshop]

Look, I didn't put a damn porn dialer in my site. I'll get rid of the link.

 

What's wrong with the Falmer helping

 

Look so Storylines aren't my strongpoint, it was that or hundreds of Dagoth Ur clones rampaging around Vivec City and you march into battle against thousands of those Mini-Urs with only Vivec by your side.

I never got to any of your website content. The advertising came off the cjb.net servers IMO. Maybe since your page isn't finished, it allowed an opening for the malware. I don't blame you for that.

Your mod sounds very ambitious. It's a sequel to TES3 and it may be a sequel to Oblivion. I was going to your site to see what other mods you've done.

Your CCW mod seems to be a total conversion of Vvardenfell and Solstheim. Creating the future world would eliminate/change most or all of the NPCs, dialog, quests, etc wouldn't it? Are you creating a whole new game using the Morrowind geography?

I've never made a mod but I know they take time and effort to do right. That's why most mods are small. Do you have the resources to pull this one off?

[caldera_modshop]

Well, this is sort of taking a back bench to my Hammersand Island and Tamriel School of Magic mods as well as the houses etc. I planned.

 

This would run alongside Morrowind, requiring completion of the main quest to start. When you get Azura's Ring (after killing Dagoth Ur) an NPC appears in Caius Cosade's house, saying that he wishes to report a horrible event.

 

He tells you of the assassination etc.

 

After doing some missions for him, trying to discover where the Wood Elves are hiding, Caius Cosades runs up to you in the street outside his house, dressed in a covering robe, and tells you to follow him.

 

He takes you to Arkhgatand (sp) and tells you that he is taking you to meet the head of the Bosmer exodus. You go deep into the place, until you eventually find a wooden door that doesn't quite fit. You go in and find a smelly little cave where some thirty Bosmer are staying.

 

They won't talk to you until you talk to the leader. Now you get a choice, much like in the EEC quests, you can either assist the Bosmer and there secret ally, or you can help the Imperials.

 

IF YOU HELP THE IMPERIALS:

Caius Cosades shouts for you to leave, just as the Bosmer start shooting at you. You have to escape back to Caius Cosade's house.

The guy there will ask you to go to Seyda Neen and find the Bosmer hideout there.

Go to the lighthouse and go in. Straight away there are two Wood Elves who attack you, so you need to kill them.

That's all I'm saying, cause any further into it will ruin it and I can't tell you the Wood Elf quests without ruining it... :construction:

[SilvuruAgnost]

I think that you guys are mean to this guy. look at the bright side of the mod and give him positive respons :)
