Bring out your dead! Time to update and resurrect http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/27029/?.

I have corrected the years-old bugs and cleaned it. But because I'd like the next update to be the final update, I thought it would be nice to have new articles to reflect Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles and the Orrery DLC. I am not much of a writer and I would like to kindly ask the community if some would be willing to lend a hand in writing the new articles.

The articles titles I wrote are suggestions. I was thinking of the following quests:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Repairing_the_Orrery - Grand opening of the Orrery!

Knights of the Nine

Shivering Isles (Before player enters the portal to Shivering Isles)

Strange island and door surface in Cyrodiil's Niben Bay!

Cyrodiil's Niben Bay strange doorway. Theories and explanations.

If someone would like to write one or more articles, let me know.

To keep the mood of vanilla Oblivion's articles and the ones already present in BHC Expanded, articles should have a pro-Empire and Nine Divines tone. It's the Empire's propaganda afterall.

Already starting to like this 2016

Thanks man!

Would an area (such as a set of forums) help keep everything organized or have you got that covered already?

Thank you for the offer, but since I tend to take long breaks, I'd prefer not to have a sub-forum dedicated to my projects.

I'm using this mod and had no idea it had bugs so they must be minor. An update to this wonderful mod sounds good. I'm not much of a writer so I can't help with your request.

Brill, this mod is great, but the more stories the better....

So OK, what's the deadline? (Any journalist's second question, right after 'How much?'. Of course.) I'm pretty rusty, but used to do a bit of this for a living (production journalist, but you have to fill in when them fancypants writers fail to deliver. Which is quite often.) Also happy to proof edit if you wish - they're only short pieces.

Taking it from the top, the Orrery sounds like a fine first target. (I can rather imagine it having an illustration with an 'X shares a joke with Y' caption. OK, so how do they take pix? Ah, Rhyth Lythandas - if he can attend, that is.)

They are very minor bugs. One was a bad quest variable check which prevented the couriers on horse from giving you three articles related to the main quest. Those same articles given by couriers in cities and in the BHC office are not affected.

There is no deadline. I am in the process of updating each of my Oblivion mods to make them dirty/bug-free once and for all so I do not mind keeping BHC's update for later.

Thank you for the offer Tegeus. WIth your experience in the field, I am certain that you will write great articles for the Empire. Don't forget to put your Tamrielic name in the article.

As for pictures, I am afraid Rythe is too busy erasing trolls from his paintings.

there is a reference on the posts about this mod making some wild edits. Did you check if it's true?

"I think I might found a wild edits probably made by CS itself.

Those are couple of stray Pathgrid records under Worldspace section. The ones that are the only one edits for that sub-block. Those should probably be deleted. As for the other Patthgrid edits I don't know - they are in the blocks where only easels were added."

Curses! I hate setting my own. Gotta have them though, I'm with Douglas Adams on this:

OK, I have a rough idea how to set out the Orrery one, for a start. Some time next week maybe, need to do a bit of lore research.

I really love the "newsy" articles about activities that occurred during or on completion of various quests, such as the ones about the gang of thieves recently caught by the Anvil guard. The tricky part, though, is having them triggered only after the quest reaches a certain point or is completed. I have no idea how much trouble it is to make this happen or whether it is possible. Some mods - not this one afaik - seem to trigger ingame discussion or books early, which is very immersion breaking.

Neat places for a good investigative reporter would be: a one-on-one interview with the escapee from Kvatch who first brings the news about an attack: an interview with the guards in Bruma when a guild is attacked (guild leaders are strangely silent about this, other than offering their condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims); an in-depth interview with Blackwood fighters and how they see themselves in the big picture - with followup by a prominent Fighters Guild leader; a traveling trader who narrowly escaped from a run-in with a rogue daedra who suddenly appeared on the road to Skingrad; an interview with a longtime legionaire about his experiences, etc.

(Love this mod, by the way!)

Interviews would be very cool. I was thinking of one with an ex-Mystic Dawn member (no names, no pack drill) about their experiences inside the cult, but there are so many possibilities.
