Suggested improvement of masgue of clavius vile

[Madivans]

I was making a cheat file the other day where i made every merchant complete mugs (100 Personality 0 mercantile). it got me thinking about the masgue. in it's current form it is not worth level 20 quest in which you go against a formidable opponent.

 

so i wonder if it is possible to script so all merchants become easy prey to being ripped off when you wear it on the flip side it fuses to your face so you cannot wear any other helmit the only to get it off is to visit a divine altar. Just a thought

It is easy to stick something to someone's face so that it can't be removed except by script.

Player.EquipItem DAClavicusMasque 1

 

The removal script would be like:

 

Player.UnequipItem DAClavicusMasque 1

 

Perhaps you could run the first script in a Begin OnEquip block in a script attached to the masque. You could insert the second one into the code for about 10 varieties of healing altars.

 

I am not really sure how to easily make the mask help you rip merchants off. There are a great many merchants in Tamriel and it would be a pain to have to make unique scripts for them all. Did your mod do something with factions or AI packages? If you could find something common to all merchants, that would be a good way to attack the problem.

 

You could change the enchantment on the mask to fortify your personality 100 instead of 20. And have it increase your Mercantile, Speechcraft, and Luck. That would be the easiest thing to try before messing with all of those merchants. It might be satisfactory.

 

You might also think about adding some other drawback to such a powerful item besides not being able to take it off. Maybe jack up your infamy while you are wearing it?

 

The item was cool in Morrowind. People loved you while you were talking to them, but at soon as you left, they realized what was going on and started to dislike you.

I have uploaded the file. i scrapped the fuse idea because i think that would be something molag bai would do. Clavious vile is a greedy god so i made it so every time you wear the masgue he takes all your gold. so it stands to reason to use the masgue persuasion to claim back the money. once you acquired the amount of gold it is best to hoard it away before putting it back on

The idea is perfect. It does make the Masque a much more interesting artifact,

and what it does is definitely something Clavicus Vile would make it do.

 

Very neat. Kudos to you.
