Kemel-Ze? Is it considered finished?

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 3:14 pm

I've been away from the community and Morrowind for nearly two years. The last time I tried Tamriel Rebuilt, I fell in love with Kemel-Ze. However, I found and reported some bugs and there was quite a bit o Kemel-Ze that was simply unfinished. Jump forward two years and I try it again only to find that nothing has changed. Now I'm reading that map 3 is due out shortly.

At the top of my list of complaints about Kemel-Ze is:

1.) There are tons of levers that are permanently stuck. Dwemer oil only releases one or two.
2.) The egg beaters and lava bucket thingy in Karkanch is really cool, but it doesn't seem to effect anything else.
3.) Of the working levers and cranks, most seem to do nothing. For example, there is on wall with five cranks in a row. That is a total of 32 possible combinations. Nothing happens.
4.) There is one room deep within the dungeon (can't remember the name now) where you pull a lever and it sounds like tons of heavy machinery is activated. Nothing changes in any other part of the dungeon though.
5.) Lzigat's first, second and third keys do not seem to do anything. Neither does the Technician's Shaft Key. If these keys do have an effect, the little dialog box saying "door opened with xx key" is not displayed.
6.) There are two Dwemer junction boxes where coherers can be placed. Placing coherers does nothing. The coherer in King's Tomb is truly mystifying as there are no other activators in the tomb, so it's placement is questionable.
7.) Vels has collision box issues. The image here illustrates:
[img]http://images.uesp.net//thumb/8/8a/TR3-interior-Kemel-Ze%2C_Vels.jpg/799px-TR3-interior-Kemel-Ze%2C_Vels.jpg[/img]

The trap door in the center of Vels is partially buried. Only the very top of the crank is visible and the door itself is completely hidden. Also, at the back of the picture is a structure between two thin spires. It resembles a modern power generator. If you walk behind the buildings straddling it, you can walk right through the structure.

I don't want to come across as critical, but I love Morrowind for the Dwemer dungeons and this dungeon is the best yet. It is sad to see it to put on the back burner, especially after so much work was put into it. Is Kemel-Ze done?

It is not finished, but you may wish to ask about TR on their forums.

The only map considered finished is the first one, I beleive the second map will be considered finished at the next release which I would hope is by years end as by that point it will have been about 2 years since they last released anything.

Kemel-Ze is getting some new additions and fixes. An Imperial Archaelogical Society questline primarily about Kemel-Ze is being implemented right now, and will be released with either the quested Antediluvian Secrets or Sacred East releases (advantages of the new merged file :P)

Yes, I think 'right now' is taking a liberty or two seeing as it's still being designed :stare: .

No, I never knew that Cathartis works for TR despite him being the head of interiors and therefor having to post on the forum almost constantly to keep things running smooth and even though I keep seeing him on IRC...

It wasnt a stupid thing to say <_< , Like I said I wasnt 100% sure if you were unaware or not. And it wasnt offensive either. Look - I apologised in advance just in case so I cant be held responsible if you decide to take it the wrong way.

wasn't someone somewhere in the world going to invent a sarc mark to denote sarcasm on the internet, and thus stop 90% of all misunderstandings? Pity that isn't out yet/used at all.

On that note, I will say here what I said on the forums. I reviewed another 10 or so cells for this just last week. Why (aka trout apparantly) is adding them and working on the quest line. Kemel-Ze will have a lot of fixes and a lot more quests in the next release, but even at that I am not 100% sure there won't be more.
