[Idea] Alternate Tribunal Main Quest : III - Morrowind

» Sat May 28, 2011 4:37 pm

I like the basic idea of this. A mod that changes the Tribunal MQ and it's effects while still trying to be lore friendly. Plenty of us had grievances ever since Tribunal came out so this sounds fantastic!

One potential change I've not heard of here yet though, is my biggest and oddest gripe about Tribunal: Salas Valor.

I didn't like the way the game handled him, because in my opinion he seemed to have a better understanding of what was truly going on then the Neraverine did. Yet he played perfectly into Almalexia's plan anyway by refusing to parlay with the player, and instead fight him to the death immediately after a quick speech. Which suggested he was either only somewhat crazy, or simply too smart to be left alive by the Temple. I think the player should've had a chance to turn him into a powerful ally. If you had plans to overthrow Almalexia, wouldn't you want one of her very few servants who managed to see the light, and just so happened to be her most powerful one, at your side?

Almalexia... my wife from a former life... the very woman who helped betray me and very possibly had me murdered... has had lifetimes to reflect upon her actions. She has witnessed my slaying of a God... and the salvation of Vvardenfell. Mad Goddess or not... I am a force to be reckoned with... and she would have to be divinely -stupid- to actually think she could slay me. Yet she does so... and is summarily defeated with -ease-.

That was another problem with Tribunal. She may as well have just jumped into a pit of lava. :/

I intend to change the Missing Hand (Salas Vakor) quest.
Fedris Hler, the traitor of the Temple, is trying to kill the hands, before Dagon's advent. I have to find a way though.
Maybe, Hler can make the Lady believe that Salas Valor betraied her, and could send the PC after him...
I want the Hands have a greater part in the story. Almalexia has 6 Hands and uses none of them for any mission.

This sounds awesome. I think the ending could be a bit more interesting though: 'You're too late but you go and kill him anyway.' I know you have a godly sword but something a bit more interesting would be nice. Maybe you need the combined power of Almalexia and Sotha Sil or something like that? That could lead to some interesting quests of reforging his legs, or (which I would prefer) he would be found deep in his experiments (with his legs) and will need a quest's convincing to help. Maybe you'd also need to fetch Vivec and reunite the Tribunal? Something awesome like that.

I made this: Sotha Sil is the one who enchants Trueflame. After that, he'll be slain.
In the battle against Mehrunes Dagon, Almalexia tell you that Sotha Sil still lives in the flame of Trueflame, so he'll be with them in the final battle.

Mehrunes Dagon is real badass :chaos:
And what's the tower in the middle of Oblivion screenshot? It's looking something new, though it's hard to see. Maybe you can make a close-up for it, please?

It is a copy of one that is originally in the Norenen Dur shrine, under Mournhold.

In the mod, is http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/764/screenshot711.jpg in Oblivion, and at its top you'll meet the Dremora Lord.
