Vampires and Main Quest

[HornedReaperMJL]

Okay firstly before anyone gets mad i searched around the forums and found no answer to my problem.

 

Okay having said that i'd like to ask HOW to get a part of the main quest to activate while i'm a vampire. And before anyone says you can't i can because i'm using a mod called Nice Vampires and it allows you to do all quests, get services from everyone (except mages guild which sucks).

 

The quest is the one where you need to get information for Caius from that orc in the balmora mages guild (sorry forgot the name of her). It has something to do with hauling a skull from a tomb and getting it back to her but i can't do it because the dialog option for it doesnt come up. Everytime i talk to her she says something about vampires and BAM no option, i tried this several times but with no luck.

 

So i ask is there a console command to 1. give me the quest or 2. give her the dialog option (which may not work, i noticed the addtopic doesnt work for some NPC's)

 

And finally if anyone can point me to a better vampire mod i would appeciate it. One that makes you seem entirely like a normal person (well of course vamp stats stay) but still has the ghastly look and sun damage. I also only have Morrowind and Tribunal so that vampire embrace mod i heard about isnt an option for me.

 

Thanks in advance.

The only way I can think of is by changing the journal entries so that the quest-started entry is shown, without actually having to speak to the orc.

 

It's been a while since I've done this, so forgive me if it doesn't work.

 

1. Open up the construction set, selecting Morrowind as the master. (do not make it the active module in case you change anything by accident and it stops working!)

 

2. Do a text-based search for the subject you want to find (eg. in this case searching for skull will show you the journal entry mentioning Sharn gra-Muzgob.

 

3. Now that you know the Journal entry name, open the Character/dialogue pulldown menu.

 

4. From that menu use the tabs on the left to get to journal (the farthest right tab)

 

The actual entry you want is a1_4_muzgobinformant. (its printed in the left--most pane of the find text results.)

 

Open that entry up, and you'll see a list of messages on the left, with their corresponding info ids and disp/index ratings.

 

Every possible journal entry has its corresponding disp/index number. You can use these ingame with the add_journal command to add that entry to your journal, and thus fool NPCs into believing that they have said/you have done what is in the journal.

 

I think it's used like this (I'm a little hazy):

 

add_journal (journal topic) (disp/index)

 

eg

 

add_journal a1_4_muzgobinformant 10

 

This command will mean that she has told you about the skull, but hasn't given you the free gear. Speak to her about any new topics to get that and the final quest info.

 

If that doesn't work, and she still won't give you the quest, use the disp number 15 and then speak to her about the neverarine. This bypasses the quest itself.

 

If it doesn't work at all, or I've given you the wrong commands, hopefully someone else can correct it.

Thanks that did the trick that journal entry but with a slight change the exact thing i typed in was.

 

journal a1_4_muzgobinformant 10

 

Then it was a mere matter of adding the topic errand (i remembered it was called that after i saw it in the journal lol)
