[RELz] The ForgottenHalls : III - Morrowind

I made a note that it conflicts with your awesome epic cartoon castle mod dagoth Jeff

Errmm, well, actually, the *ahem* conflict has nothing to do with that particular castle mod.

Back on subject... looks interesting, MA!

Hey,

you'd be pleased to know I am working on a small update for the Forgotten Halls and I am already planning the 4th mod in the Falmer series.

Forgotten Halls upadate

Some of the things are essential and some of them are just extras

so planned updates for v2:

Fixes:

- Spike trap damage script. Its buggy and doesnt always work.
- Staff trap ( form neverhalls) spikes fixed. They are not alligned correctly and they look messy whien rising.

Tweaks:

- Sila Textures. Ghostnull has kindly updated the textures and so I will be working them into the mod.

Extras:

-Ghoul summon spell. Was planned for the origonal mod but was not included
- Extra area. Some people want more to explore so I thought I might add an extra chamber or something

not sure how long all this is going to take so dont hold about donwloading the mod in the of chance the updates will be uploaded

The Shrine of Falzan

The Shrine of Falzan will be the 4th in the series of Falmer mods (Snow prince enhanced, Neverhalls and Forgotten halls being 1,2 &3)

It may explore the dissaperance of the Falmer - still working on the storyline. If I feel the storyline is complete rubbish, then I'd just turn it into another dungeon crawl

Looks great Midge and I can't wait to play the Forgotten Halls when you're satisfied with that mod of yours.

Thanks for the update and your hard work on this. :woot: :celebration:

Y'know, man, I won't play your mod, because it conflicts with THE MOST AWESOME CASTLE MOD EVER, and besides, I'm too busy writing some blames to Bethesda for putting the damn Dogsbane plants (or whatever it's called) inside THAT AMAZING CASTLE...

Just kidding

I'll try it ASAP. Nice work!

Wait what castle mod are you guys talking about? I recently downloaded a mod that adds a castle to Solstheim, but I wasn't aware of any Neverhalls conflict...

It's a joke about a castle drawing on paper by Dagoth_Jeff :laugh:

That joke needs to die.

That joke needs to die.

yes it really does lol.

I've been looking at the actual castle mod and seing if I want to make a compatibility patch but might just make a note in the readme of a conflict.

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:20 pm

I honestly wouldn't even bother with that one Midgetalien.

Oh, okay. Because Castle Hvitkald was the mod that I had downloaded. I didn't see the conflict warning the first time through.

You know, you and Psycholex could work together and maybe put the ruins inside of the castle, maybe underground... Secret chamber maybe? I don't know..

Although, I guess the easiest way is just to move the ruins. Ah well. I need to download this soon, once I'm done with some school things.

so i know i am working in some new stuff for this tweaks/fixes etc but hows everyone else doing with the mod?

I was trying to kill it, I didn't know that pic was still alive.
I guess I have a pretty steady hand when it comes to artwork.

It works just fine! Though I wouldn't mind an update

» Sat May 28, 2011 4:31 pm

Just noticed this and downloaded it (also put it on the list of things that need to be updated on my mod list).

Anyways... a few things:

Ancient Falmer Longsword - disintegrate armor at the magnitude given is worthless. The frost damage is also sort of low. I would raise to:

frost damage 5-15 on strike (instead of 1-10)
disintegrate armor 50-150 on strike (instead of 1-10)

I'd also set it to auto-calc, but that's more of a personal thing.

Frostbite Ring - full frost resistance is a bit excessive. I'd drop it to around 25 or so, but again that's me. You might not want to set it that low, but I'd definitely lower it.

Falmer Amulet - permanent sanctuary, even at a magnitude as low as 20, is pretty damn nice (especially alongside those other two enchantments). Way too nice if you ask me. I'd remove it altogether, but you might consider dropping it to 10. I'd also drop the fortify attack magnitude to 10 and raise it from 5 to 15 on Sila's Aim (come to think of it, I imagine that this thing was supposed to fortify Marksman... I made the same mistake in my own mod in its last version, actually)

Prices:

The two weapons you've added are rather excessively expensive given how powerful they are. I'd drop the sword from 55000 to 5000 and the bow from 10000 to 1000.

The amulet and ring are rather undervauled given how powerful they are. I'd raise them both to 1000 (from 120 and 400). Sila's Aim could also stand a boost, from 1,200 to around 2,000 or 2,500.

Just my thoughts, anyways. Take them as you will.

thanks for the thoughts and advice

I will look into balancing it all out in the next edition

» Sat May 28, 2011 11:16 pm

No worries. I finally updated my mod list, and this is now on it.

Also, let me know if you upload this thing somewhere other than PES so I can post the mirror download on my list. This is one of the few mods I only have one good link to.

A request for your consideration... A combined version of the Falmer mods together would be nice for those of us approaching the upper mod limit. No biggie, will probably do it myself but would be a nice option.

Thanks for sharing

:)

hmm, I am not sure about a combined plugin. Perhaps on day but no time soon.

The reason being: I am working on the forgottenhalls patch (right now infact) and secondly I am already working on The Hiddenhalls ( Previously called The Shrine of Falzen -The next mod in the series - name subject to change)
