Guns in Morrowind

[Burnination7]

Though the mental picture of running around with a laser cannon is funny, it's still unbalancing nonetheless.

[Almelexia]

Yeah you're right, it would have looked a bit funny to see a big laser cannon swappinng around morrowind, but that isnt just the personality of the elder scrolls.

[Geonox]

owk it doesn't has to be a laser canon but mabey some ancient glove or something...like sara's witchblade thing...with fireballs coming out if it..or something else ???? A magical weapon hmmm????

I found yesterday that the Assassin_Armory plug in adds a dwemer rifle reachable in the Arrile Shop. Anyway I haven't brought it. But If you like to test how it's going in Vvardenfell with a rifle I thing it's the right way! ;)

[Geonox]

okw small question....would it be possible to make a glove wich can fire balls or shock things like the spell fire bite or some other spell which damages the health????

I have partecipated in quiet many discussions concerning guns, gunpowder or muskets and Morrowind.

So, here is quite complex idea that was agreed as what suits Morrowind at best.

 

1). There are only Arquebuses ( primitive muskets) added.

It`s a unique weapon, not more than 2 - 3 may be found in the MOrrowind.

2) It`s been designed in some distant country ( and therefore may be found only on a wreck )

OR

It`s a dwemer design, but Dwemers made only prototypes and it seems they vanished before polishing up the idea.

In both cases it means the weapon is unknown to anyone in the Morrowind and nobody heared about it. In case it`s Dwemer, we might be able to carry it to Yagrum Bagarn * who could explain what it actually is and how to use it.

 

3) It`s arquebuse. It means poor accuracy ( here one idea: a script that provides worse marksmanship results if the target is distant :huh: ) , VERY slow reload ( here everyone agreed it should fire once for 30 second or something so that only one shot while fight is in fact possible. Can be carried loaded, but needs reload .

 

4) When hit, it gives HUGE damage ( maybe even above 100 ? ), no matter what kind of armor is carried by the target.

 

5) Ammo.

First of all, it doesn`t use arrows, for obvious reasons. The idea is:

 

ammo is a lead ( Pb) bullet, which can be made by the player when he knows already how to use the weapon.

BUT there`s one alchemical ingredient NEEDED to load weapon ( It works as gunpowder). SO, if you want to load weapon, you need to have two ingredients. Using alchemy, you obtain ( hm... mixture, but if it was possible to give it another form, that would be great ! ) stuff which you have to use just like a potion ( 'drink', so to say, or 'eat' by drawing it on your body). It this moment a script starts, so that you now LOAD the arquebuse.

Of course, you `re able to make it all possible when you do a quest that results in knowing, how to use the weapon ( and starts a script that enables it all ) . It could be something for Yagrum , who at last says something like "ah! I know how it works! Here, take this, and this .... "

 

 

It means, at least the Bullets must be added. Maybe.. maybe you could obtain it from some kind of rock? Or tell someone to do from , for example, ebony some 10 -20 bullets?

Ingredients: it may be Fire Salts , and another ingredient added. Maybe Sulphur? Both as a mineral and a funny stuff some Alchemists sell....

 

Additional info:

 

Arquebuse may be used like a crossbow for animation group, in fact first arquebuses were hold in pretty same way.

It should have some animation for fire and huge amounts of smoke when fired.

Anyway, Brand new Model and animation for it is obvious.

 

It may also be dangerous for a Player: for example, 1% possibility that it explodes while firing, almoust killing the player.

I think that there should be a background to the weapon thet they have camed from the emperor in the mainland to keep the justice in morrowind and make the thieves respect the law. And the weapon should not be used legal by any civil persion in morrowind. And if they use some king of weapon and a guard sees it will be the same thing as steal when a guard sees. And there could be some other quests with gunst that there has been started some sumuggling orginisation in morrowind and the quests is to find out whre and how the smugglers have come over weapons of this sort. And there should be some new quest givers in the imperial legion, for an example if you are the knight of the imperial legion and have nohing more to do then you can go to the new quest giver and he should give you some tasks to complete and when you have done it you will ern legaly a gun powered weapon.

[Hayabusa]

Personally I think the best idea is to make it a Dwemer weapon, or a weapon constructed outside of Cyrodill or Morrowind, so that it is something completely original and - maybe - just some people realize what it is.

So, no Legion links, so to say.

Naybe except one idea thaqt has just come to my mind:

 

There may be a constructor of the weapons and various mechanisms in a city, and we`re sent to find out his secret. Or: someone kills pepole in town, using some strange devicxe ( It Is, the Arquebuse ) and we have to find the man and kill him.

 

Another difficulty could be, the man would be already armed with the Arquebuse, a weapon that does, for example, 200 damage with one shot.

 

How about that?

[Almelexia]

Yes but i think the guns should get known by more than just yourself in morrowind. Dwemers all thing they done is in writing that you could find in their ruins. But there should be a writing about the gun to. I mean you could find such big papers if you know what i mean that it stans about their tthing

[Hayabusa]

Well OK, maybe we`ll be able to find it in a Dwemer ruins as well as a book that describes, what it is? so that we may bring the book to Baladas or yagrum to finally get known what it is and how it works.

How about that ?
