Lore Friendly and true to the Morrowind-feeling quests.

Post » Tue Oct 04, 2011 8:38 am

I'm searching for some fun quest mods.. preferably for higher-leveled characters which are, or at least could be, lore correct/friendly and also stay close to Morrowind as it is, not having these strange looking NPC's and such. hope there are any.

Assuming you already have Less Generic NPCs installed which adds a lot of great lore and style friendly quests into the game, there's always Darknut's Greater Dwemer Ruins. Illuminated Order integrates well with the vanilla game, too.

Illuminated order does blend in rather well, but it breaks the Fourth Wall which I really dislike. If you can look past it though you'll enjoy it.

Emma has several classics:

Some of these are old but they are still fun, especially White Wolf and Witchgirl IMHO.

If you have a Telvanni character, I would definitely recommend Rise of House Telvanni. It allows you to do some things "characteristic" of high-level wizards, such as recovering lost artifacts, traveling the planes (or in the Elderscrolls universe, called the "Outer Realms"), influencing Vvardenfell policy, etc. While it, like all mods, is not flawless (couple balancing issues I would prefer changed), it is by far one of the best role-playing mods out there and really makes you feel like a powerful and influential character. It also introduces some challenges, some of which take you all across the Morrowind world (by that I mean Vvardenfell, Mournhold and Solthseim).

Uvirith's Legacy is the same way, although it's not quite as challenging. Really makes you feel like you're a wizard working on research projects and stuff.

Antares also made an alternate version of the Tribunal Main Quest which, though it changes the plotline, I would argue is still "lore-correct" in terms of which characters are involved, setting, and end results.

The LGNPC Pax Redoran mod, while not quite as involved/long as Rise of House Telvanni, does the same thing for a Redoran character. The Hlaalu still have the short end of the stick in terms of mods, but that is changing (a modder recently posted a "Hlaalu business" mod here that's pretty good).

Given the limitations of Morrowind's engine, it's very difficult to make a mod for high-level characters that does not simply involve brute force survival. That's the one criticism I have about the redone "final battle" in Darknut's Greater Dwemer Ruins Mode (althouth I LOVE the rest of that mod). Many of these mods, and others that posters in this threat have mentioned, however, do a pretty good job of it.

It's good but not too lore friendly. Custom Races up the wazoo. Shame, it was fantastic otherwise.

On another note, if anyone knows of any lore-correct mods that involve traveling to the planes of oblivion/outer realms, or making deals with/fighting daedric princes, let me know. To my knowledge very few mods have attempted to do this, which is a shame because that's really the best way create an adventure for a high-level character.

I think this: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2844 is pretty lore friendly/correct

Oooooh looks awesome. Does it conflict with TR or Darknut's GDR??? If not, I'm downloading immediately.

I wouldn't know. I've never used it myself, but it looks like it adds a cave
