In his tower overlooking the small fishing village of Dagon Fel, Sorkvild the Raven conducts his necromantic experiments. Rumour has it he is looking for an adventurer to help him further his studies...

This mod makes Sorkvild a talkative trader/enchanter with a unique voice, unique dialogue, and a short but interesting series of quests. I had alot of fun making this, so enjoy!

Screens! However, this isn't really a visual mod, so they're not wild...

I thought Sorkvild already had a quest :S But my memory is about as good as a gold fish's. I'm downloading this, could use a quest or two.


What level are the quests?

The first two can be done by any level, the second two around level 15, but depends on how you do it...

He had a quest involved with him - ie, kill him. But you could never work for him, he was hostile.

Ah, now I remember.

Anyway, nice mod, good to know that you can do some things at level 1

I swear I've seen those baby-jars somewhere before...

Kayla's Kick knacks? they're made by Qarl.

You also may have seen them if you downloaded the 'Pearl Palace' house mod. They are in Nathan's lab. Where I could never figure out how to kill that damnable Kracken.

Awesome!

I've always like Sorkvild.

Back when I first played Morrowind on the xbox, I used his tower as my home for quite a while.

Cool, well give the quests a try. I've tested them, but there could be bugs or spelling errors. I'll probably keep updating this with more quests, he really was a fun character to flesh out

Updated to 1.1. Minor fixes really, include:
1.1 - corrected all spelling errors
- fixed incorrect 4th quest journal entries
- fixed script that makes sorkavild's
guards attack if you kill him
- fixed certain reward for 4th quest
- new zombie sounds

So, has anyone tried the first release?
Also, what's a good base to use for a new companion mod?

Thanks for releasing this, it sounds very interesting. Now I just hope I'll get back into Morrowind one day so I can give this mod a try. :^)

By the way, the ESP file contains the 72 evil GMSTs, you should probably correct that.

Sounds great! and very well thought out. Cant wait to try it out, but after the evil GMST's have been vanquished......

I must have missed the initial release of this mod. But I'm glad I have been reminded

I definitely want to try this out... but I always sort of enjoyed killing The Raven... in my sick humor I guess. Maybe he'll turn out to be nice after all in a necromantic sort of way. It seems that all the baddies in Morrowind keep getting a different side to them, lol!

Good job! :goodjob:

Nah, he's still quite unpleasant - it's just that he ends the mod as an unpleasant character grudgingly in your debt. Definately not your friend!
Funny you should mention developing baddies, though - my next mod is all about giving lots of extra dialogue to members of the Sixth House. It's kinda exciting - I have three separate voicesets already - one for ash ghouls, one for ascended sleepers, and one for ash vampires, so stay tuned!



Thanks. It's actually got a whole heap of dialogue, and the four quests will take you abit of time to complete, so hopefully it should be alot of fun too



Don't know how I missed those! Bad Von Djangos. Cleaned and updated the 1.1 file with tesame. Now get playing, guys!

Hmmm sounds promising... just as long as it doesn't conflict with Great House Dagoth I will be happy But I'm glad to hear you are still modding stuff!

I love these sorts of mods! This one sounds well thought out, I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

where did u get qarls stuff?

Kayla's Knick Knacks. its on PES.

From the readme
' 3. Usage

*****************************************************************

Feel free to do anything you wish with this stuff. Just give me
a little credit.'

I have big plans to expand one of Sorkvild's henchman into a fully fledged companion, and was wondering - which mod would you guys recommend using as a base for a companion - warping, companion share features etc included to cut out most of the scripting work?

Also, has anyone played the mod? would love to get some feedback/ reactions...

well on emmas site there is a "blank" companion esp. i.e a resource for companions that would be a good start

THanks for sharing. Am adding it to my game now.

Cheers

By using the "errand" topic this mod broke part of the main quest for me, you know the part when you talk to the necromancer in the mages guild and he sends you to get that skull. He never sent me to get the skull because the mod uses the same topic.

Not sure if it fixes itself after you finish the quest for Sorkvild that uses the topic thou, didn't try.

Interesting will try it out when I get home.

Yeah that is a problem - I was kinda assuming people would have done the first main quest before they talked to Sorkvild. Will try and fix it when I get round to patching the mod.

Just as a suggestion, until then you might want to update your readme where the mod is stored to note the conflict. So this is a potentially serious conflict, one that breaks the main quest.

For myself, I usually like to hit the main quest last, after doing several of the guilds and wandering around a lot. So I'll definitely try this once the fix is in. Sounds great.
