OBLIVIFALL : Revenge of the Classic


"People who play role-playing games need more than some pretty graphics and nonstop action to whet their claymores : they want depth and character and wit and drama. They want the thickest, most involving novel that they've ever read translated to their 15" screen, with themselves as the hero." ? The Daggerfall Manual

I. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Oblivifall, a project that includes and will include gameplay elements from the Elder Scrolls title many veterans and new Elder Scrolls gamers alike claim as the best title of the series and even the best role-playing game that ever existed.

As a gamer who started playing western RPGs by discovering Daggerfall, I've always thought that there are features and gameplay elements that are missing or need replacement in Oblivion. Features that improve the game. I consider Oblivifall to be my "flagship" project, for I would love, as a modder, to present to you, the gamer, things I loved the most about Daggerfall. I am certain Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind players alike will feel right at home with this project.

Oblivifall is separated in modules to allow you to choose what you want, therefore avoiding possible incompatibilities. Some modules have already been released, some are in the making and others are still at planning stage. In addition to what I'm making, you will find below a list of my highly-recommended mods made by the community that will also make your game feel closer to Daggerfall.

II. OBLIVIFALL RELEASED MODULES
(Note : Click on the mod's name to see its poster)


http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/gallery_415_8_1168476.png? Latest Version: 1.0

What does it do?

The race and class descriptions in default Oblivion are very bland. They only mention the strengths and weaknesses, but do not put the emphasis on the lore behind them. The descriptions found in the Daggerfall manual are more oriented toward roleplay and say more about the race and gives more interesting details about the class you choose.

Features

• Replaces the in-game class and race descriptions with the ones found in the Daggerfall manual.
  
• Adds two new classes that were in Daggerfall : the Burglar and the Ranger

Compatibility

Not compatible with any mod that changes the default race and class descriptions.

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/gallery_415_8_587256.png ? Latest Version: 1.0

What does it do?

One of the ways Daggerfall had for immersing you in its world was to describe your character's senses that you, the player, can't see/feel. As such, each time you approached a dungeon, messages would appear telling you the air was getting colder or that your character had a vague feel of unease. It was an excellent way of putting you, the player, even more in your character's perspective of things.

Features

• Adds informative messages that pop up at the top left of your screen when you get closer to a dungeon.
  
• Examples of messages include : "You notice goblin tracks", "You feel watched", "You smell a putrid odor"
  
• 47 different messages available. They show up depending on the location of the dungeon and its theme. You will have more chance of noticing goblin tracks near a goblin cave, for example.

Compatibility

No known compatibility problems.

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/med_gallery_415_8_784968.png ? Latest Version: 1.0

What does it do?

Each shop type in Daggerfall had different opening hours. This meant that while doing shopping, you had to plan your trip because the gem store where you wanted to sell your valuable diamond might have already closed its doors. It made shopping more dynamic.

Features

• Changes the opening and closing times of every shopkeeper depending on their shop type. A clothing store closes earlier than a general store, for example.

Compatibility

Will not be compatible with any mod that changes the radiant AI schedules of the game's shopkeepers.

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/gallery_415_8_587256.png ? Latest Version: 1.1 - Last updated September 14th 2009


What does it do?

In Oblivion, you get the compass markers which help you find easily your quest NPC's homes and location. Also, the guards are the only people in the city whom will give you directions when you ask them. Finally, Tamriel is a world full of organizations, yet no one knows anything about them. This is changed.

Features

• Ask directions! You no longer need to rely on the guards to know where to go. Ask directions to citizens for guilds, shops, temples, castles or other city landmarks.
  
• Ask for regional locations. If a city does not have a particular shop or guild, you can ask the citizens if they know what city might offer the required service. Sometimes they know the answers, sometimes they don't and sometimes they send you in the wrong direction.
  
• A new "Tell me About" topic This sub-topic allows you to ask an NPC what he knows about a particular Tamriel or Cyrodiil organization, wheter it's the Blackwood Company, the Mages Guild, the Knights of the Thorn or others. The NPC's answer differs wheter he is part of that organization or not and if he's a Savant. If you want to gather the best information, ask a Savant.
  
• New rumors! 35 new rumors have been added. Some talk about how dangerous the streets are, others mention that the Empire might raise the taxes again. (Bastards!)
  
• Use Scout services. You can pay a scout for geographic or regional information. A scout can mark landmarks, settlements and cities on your map or help you find a specific service in a city without mistakes.
  
• Annoying Citizens: Be careful when asking directions or asking about organizations. If the NPC is not your friend (Disposition 60 and down), he will like you less with each question until he's annoyed and ends the conversation.
  
• Over 150 lines of dialogue, most of which is taken from Daggerfall and Morrowind.

Compatibility/Requirements

Requires http://obse.silverlock.org/ v. 0012 or above
& http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16622 V 0.93 or above
I highly recommend mods that remove the quest markers and the fast travel markers to each city, since the NPCs can identify the cities on your map.

III. OBLIVIFALL WORK-IN-PROGRESS MODULES



http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/med_gallery_415_8_272476.png ? Progress : 85%

What does it do?

Cyrodiil is the heart of the Empire's religion, yet it is an aspect that is severely lacking. The only presence of the religion are the cathedrals in each cities.
In Daggerfall, each god had his associated regions, decoration for the temples and a better presence in the game. "Losing My Religion" is a module that restores the religion and overhauls it.

Features

• Each chapel now has its appropriate Daggerfall name.

• Interior re-decoration overhaul of every chapel

• Kynareth has her Temple

• New NPCs and services offered in every chapel

• Knightly Orders

• No more "Nine Divines" name.

• Identified tombs in the undercrofts

• New dialogue

• Misc Changes

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/med_gallery_415_8_40871.png ? Progress : 75%

What does it do?

Summoning Daedric Princes should be available to everyone, but should also be more difficult to obtain these services. This module brings several features of Daggerfall's daedra summoning in Oblivion.

Features

• Summoning a Daedric Prince comes at a cost...

• ...Or use an alternative route.

• No level requirements to perform the quests.

• Don't bother the Daedric Princes too much...

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248566880/med_gallery_415_8_317750.png ? Progress : 75%

What does it do?

The inns of Daggerfall were always filled up with a large diversity of NPCs and music. Better Inns aims to bring this feature along with other additions.

The streets and the inside of buildings were also filled up with NPCs of various classes and, as such, Oblivion Comes Alive takes care of the emptyness of some of Oblivion's areas.

Better Inn Features

• Inn residents

• 110 new NPC "regulars" who fill the taverns and inns

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/gallery_415_8_227677.png
http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/gallery_415_8_713812.png

• Inns and taverns "social classes"

• New services and additions when renting a room

• Thinking of renting a lower class bed? Think again.

Some lower-class inns don't clean their beds often. Don't be surprised to find rats in your room or catch a disease after having slept in a dirty bed! Now you get what you paid for.

• Ambient sounds and music!

Hear the people talking and the music playing as you get closer to the tavern, outside. When inside, a song is played in the background along with ambient tavern sounds such as people talking and laughing, drinks pouring, stools being pulled, etc.

http://www.onmvoice.com/play.php?a=8631

• Darker taverns

A thin dark gray fog is added to those establishments to give a more "smokey" look. The overall lighting has also been toned down to make these establishments much darker.

• Freelance fences

Freelance fences appear in some taverns at a specific time of a specific day. You do not need to be from the Thieves' Guild to sell them your stolen items. Fences also provide you with hot property such as lockpicks and skooma.


Oblivion Comes Alive features

• 1200 random NPCs of different professions who populate the wilderness inns, city taverns, temples, shops, streets, etc. Knights, hunters, vampire hunters, werewolf hunters, legionnaires, warriors, mages, assassins, healers, travelers, pilgrims, barbarians, archers, crusaders, knights, rogues and more populate those places anytime of the day as opposed to the generic NPCs who only come during the evening.

Loot! Progress : 25%

What is it?
Adds various items that were present in Daggerfall.

Features

• New clothing found in wardrobes and clothing stores
  
• New armor pieces/weapons found in dungeons and blacksmiths
  
• Paintings, which can be picked, stolen, sold, bought
  
• Dungeon maps found on bandits, marauders, vampires, necromancers or conjurers. The maps identify a random dungeon on your world map.
  
• Misc items (Holy tomes, holy daggers, bandages, lamp oil, gold bars, religious items, statuettes)

http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1248748972/med_gallery_415_8_292375.png ? Progress : 15%

What is it?

In Daggerfall, catching a disease could mean the death of your character. Especially when caught in the middle of a dungeon. In Oblivion, diseases are only a nuisance and do not affect much your character.

Features

• Catching a disease is now something to care about.

• New diseases

VII. HELP OFFERS

Here I will post any request I may have. It can be meshes, retextures or scripts.


Losing My Religion

Misc

As part of Losing My Religion, I'm replacing the bodies found in the Undercroft with bodies with a name and an epitaph. I'm also adding new ones. Should you have character ideas you'd like to submit (How about having your character buried there?), you can suggest them in http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1044133&hl=

Modeling/Retextures

Armors for the Knightly Orders:

- Should be highly based on Jeremy's Knights of Tamriel mod for Morrowind. In the best of worlds, I'd love to see them modeled after Jeremy's. But if that proves too complex, retextures of existing armor, with the symbol and colors of each god would suffice.
- Reference link: http://jw_mcguinn.rethan-manor.net/page1.htm

Note: The Kynaran Order armor has already been done by ADCK.


Thanks for reading the whole post. Feel free to add comments/feedback/suggestions and hate.

Wow. This is very impressive. You can count on a download as soon as I finish The Vampire Hunter.

So very similar to your RPC--New Beginnings that I repeatedly pimp out for you?

It will be interesting to see the atmosphere of the inns and how your ambiance interacts with All Natural's Real Lights--might be too dark, might be perfect

Oh, and :newpants:

Oh, why is it that in every one of your mod threads I always throw so many emotes around? :confused:

Cliffworms, you are incredible. This is going to be an amazing mod. All we need now for the NPCs in "Oblivion comes alive" are new animations for them.

Tissue, noticed you mentioning this in your REQ thread as well, have you tried Personality Idles (V4 I think)?

Thank you very much Sulteric!



Similar indeed.
But RPC New Beginnings is much closer to Fallout's and Arcanum's than Daggerfall. Though it does have some Daggerfall features as well.

What I haven't yet tried with Better Inns is to try it with Bar Brawl mod. I'll have to try it.
ANd no worries about smileys, I'm also smiley intensive.




Thanks!
I haven't yet tried, but I'm looking into putting dance animations on some of the NPCs who go take a drink in the lower and mid class taverns. What I wonder is if it's possible to get those NPCs to be "locked" in place and not turn around to look at the player when he passes by.

I also recall a mod that added "The Wench" tavern (Or something similar) in Morrowind with the best tavern atmosphere I've seen. And there was a drunk Orc who would walk around with a drunk animation, mug in his hand. But the animation file is a .kif and I have no idea how it'd be possible to port it as a .nif file. (Though I have seen some of Morrowind's custom animation mods being ported to Oblivion)

Blood&Mud had a drunken animation for the guards IIRC.

It's been a long time since I've used it, and I've been waiting for the next version that was going to fix some things, but it never came.

But I hope there's a way to get some new animations in, such as that drunk animation.

Geez, this whole thing is mind boggling! I really, REALLY love what ya guys are doing! Good job; can't wait to see this whole project in their finest form!

Wow a huge mod like this just suddenly being announced and worked on so much already... It really came out of nowhere and surprised me. Reading your name's thread a while ago I thought it was just gonna be some chapel overhaul or something... I had no idea I was only reading about 2% of what was actually gonna be done!

I took the time to read everything, and I think it's just... orgismic. When I first read the name, I thought it was going to be like... that one mod.... that no one talks about. That would look hilarious. Your walking around in Cryodill and then you go over the border and suddenly the world looks like Daggerfall. (See? I use smileys too!)
But this mod is amazing. Once a little more of it gets done, I'll add a bunch of the modules in at the same time! When this is fully completed, I will install all of it even if it is not compatible with FCOM. I think I'd be able to uninstall FCOM for this. But reading through, it doesn't seem like there would be that many incompatibilities.
Anywho, I only played Daggerfall for a bit a few years back so I don't know much about it in way of suggestions.
Though, reading this I'm a bit tempted to download that free version on the Official Bethseda page and give it another go

Ravin

Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out!



Thanks Qawsed!



Thank you very much for the comment, RavinXX.
It, indeed, came out of nowhere. I've been working on it for almost a year on a regular basis but I kept it secret, in case I'd have stopped working on it half-way. All of this while releasing my other side projects, which mostly served as "training" for what I had planned in Oblivifall.

Oblivifall will be compatible with the overhauls mods, as it does not change the leveled lists. The only problem I can see is that the Daedric quests have been slightly altered and I believe OOO does some changes to them.

And I, indeed, fully encourage you to play Daggerfall again. Feast your eyes and sleep hours on THE game.

Very impressive project, you seem to have covered everything in Daggerfall... except for one thing: dungeons!

Daggerfall had the most despicable, devious, devilishly complex and deadly dungeons you'd ever dare to set foot in! To me, they define the entire experience of the game. Add to those dungeons the haunting, lonely music (which did not change in combat, keeping you looking over your shoulder all the time), creaking doors and screaming monsters that make you jump out of your seat and that makes for a far more thrilling experience than Oblivion IMO.

Three letters: wow!

Makes me proud having contributed to such a project just by providing a name.
I'm waiting for the inns and chapels.

Thank you.

I'm afraid that would not be possible to do in Oblivion (And time consuming). But I hope that Deadly Diseases will inspire a bit of fear in the player. Who wishes to catch a disease that will kill you in a day or two when you are in the middle of a dungeon, far from civilization? :hehe:




Thanks! I thank you as well, again, for submitting Adrienne Demarr. I have fun fact about it, by the way. I placed Adrienne Demarr's tomb right beside the tomb of a vampire hunter. I didn't notice it until I went in-game to check the epitaphs.

Nice, these mods will definitly be must haves for me when they are released.

I never played daggerfal, my introduction to RPG was through Darklands (or was Atari ST's version of Betrayal at Kondor?).

With Darklands I still remember studying the manual to take a grasp of the (at the time) complexity of the game - all RPG mechanisms were not yet assimilated at the time.

Although I'm a fan of graphical performace (broad term) I really miss the "complexity" that supported the idea of new worlds and new realities.

That said, I'm really looking forward to this mod and I'm glad that it seems progressing well.

Um. Did I just drool all over your thread? Sorry about that.

Wow, very interesting!

Thanks!
Ah yes, manuals from our old classic games. Not only did they served to know the game mechanics, but they also gave many details about the world we were about to get ourselves immersed into. I'm often reading the Arena and Daggerfall and Ultima Underworld manuals, I simply love them.



Haha! As a Daggerfall fan you certainly did.



Thanks pobuholo! By the way, "Let's Talk!" will go nicely with Kragenir's Death Quest. I believe that combining "Let's Talk!", "Lore Dialogue 300 Updated", "Kragenir's Death Quest" and "Persuasion Overhaul" should make the dialogue much more interesting.

im really really interested in the deadlier diseases one. is there any chance of making it so some of the diseases can only be cured at an altar. even if you make the diseases deadlier all one has to do is wave their hands or take a cheap potion. it would be nice to have some diseases that cant be so easily circumvented.

also alot of people run with slower timescales so a matter of weeks or days really means nothing in gameplay terms, perhaps changing it to hours would make more of an effect on gameplay. hell when i get infected with the vampire disease i dont even bother with it till after ive cleared the dungeon or im doing "maintenance" ie eating. after all i have three whole days to cure it and i run at timescale of 5 so thats an eternity away.

Wow - you've been busy!

Well this thread is going to blow up quick especially with more mods in the way.

Kinda reminds me of modular oblivion enhanced with it modular nature. Any plans to merge them later?

I can see mod conflicts coming down the stream though. I may want to try just one or two to get my feet wet.

so, first question - what overlap is there between your version of lore dialogues and let's talk?

Prices for cure potion diseases will be higher. In chapels, using the altar does not cure your diseases or restores your stats. You need to seek an healer for that. The price for the healers' service is high. So on that side, it will be harder to be cured. (Will also give more sense with the Holiday mod, if I release it, where there are holidays where healing is half-price)

As for the time the diseases take to kill you, if I reduce the time to mere hours, those with a regular timescale will die way too quickly.
For now I'll stick to my plans, but if there's enough demand I might make an harder version.

Also don't forget that your stats degrade overtime when you catch a disease. So if you don't have a potion or a spell and you catch the deadliest disease, in less than a day your character will barely be able to lift his equipment, resist magics and hits, fight well and move.
I belive I could disable Fast Travel when you are diseased as well....



Yes I plan to merge them...if I ever manage to finish them all.
As for conflicts, one thing's for sure is that every modules are compatible with Overhauls. Except OOO and Daedra Summoning.... both change how Daedric Quests work.

As for your question, Let's Talk works perfectly with Lore Dialogue. Both mods do not conflict and, instead, complete each other. I designed Lore Dialogue with Let's Talk in mind, which was already finished when I started working on LD.

Thanks, Clifford, for putting me into the credits. I haven't been in the credits of a mod since years ago, when I was in my Unique Landscapes days...under a different title. This is going to add SO FRIGGING MUCH to the game...I am freaking out! Or let me say it in a more unique way...I...am...freaking...out!!!!

thanks for the response...... i really like the idea of using healers instead of altars thats makes it even more difficult. i can change the prices of the cure diseases and make them really heavy like i currently have (10 units each) so that i cant carry many of them. as for the timescale thing for diseases, is that something that can be easily changed in the CS myself or is that a complicated 80 line script. also something else i did myself was to make cure disease an expert skill so that you really have to work for it as opposed to a journeyman skill where anyone can get it pretty early on. im even thinking of making cure disease a master skill since it so overpowered. i just have this really huge problem with being able to cure anything, cancer, aneurisms, the common cold......i mean anything by simply waving your hands around for a couple of seconds. takes the fun completely out of the game when its that easy. i even tried unsuccessfully awhile back to remove the stupid spells in the game like cure disease and lockpick etc but unfortunately it just made my game crash.

edit: also i would go with your idea about disabling fast travel for certain disease.......hell all of them would be welcome to me. i used to use the other disease mod but even that was too easy to circument with stupid cure disease spells and the millions of potions you could get.

Feel free to edit the stats of the potions when the mod will be released. But like I mentioned the prices for potions will be higher along with the healing services. (If I recall correctly in Daggerfall, it costed 350 or 400 septims to be cured. If you were a member, it would be less expensive depending on your rank)

And for fast travel, I really think I'll disable it when diseased. In Daggerfall, you needed fast travel because of the distance you had to travel. But in Oblivion, it's not necessary when diseased. It will force the player to spend gold on potions and force him to draw back from a dungeon to go to town to be cured. That, I believe, will make the dungeons much more dangerous.

In other news, concerning the bodies in the Undercroft.
The Primates of the chapels told me that there are many empty slots needed to be filled with fresh bodies.

Especially in the http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1252541795/gallery_415_8_91279.jpg. Since the crypt has been extended, so are the number of slots to fill with coffins.
In the other chapels, I've decided to use the cathedral altars found in the Undercroft to stash Urns. In the vanilla game, I've always wondered what was the purpose of those small altars in the Undercroft. Then I noticed that an Urn containing the ashes of someone important fits perfectly on the Altar.
