The NPC representing my retired Xbox character in my museum mod is going to provide optional solutions for the Tamrielic Lore artifacts (since nothing can be stolen from the museum.) I just don't know how I want to do it, so let me see what you think.
I like the idea of scrolls but however the player gets the information, I think it should be a 'clue' rather than a 'location'...
Just a suggestion.
Agreed on this. Tho you should be careful with what you give, stuff like "dark and wet" would pretty much be the same as "It's in this game, somewhere" so be detailed but not detailed enough
I like the scroll library idea, with the same qualifier as the others, well written clues. The player could read until they knew where one was, then go get it and return.
I am bad at writing clues, I may put the solutions in the scrolls with a "Spoiler Warning" at the top and then a bunch of blank lines which would force scrolling to see it. To do non-specific hints, I would need a clue-writer to help.
