Rumours

[bob196045]

How does the dialogue work in OB wth respect to rumours Is it the same as MW ?

Rumours can be a great way to add side quests, their were entirely not enough of them in MW

Plus everyone talked about the same things

It would be nice to have some special rumours, funny stuff, some stupid some intrigueing and some leading to a quest or 2

It would be nice to hear some of those

1) Ask about latest Rumors: Repsonse, Well don't tell anyone I said this but I hear Maximus is having an affair with Delphia


If you have any fun rumours please let us know !!

Enjoy

Only show rumor after you buy the house for sale.

I like it

Just curious : why after you buy it? do you mean like right after you buy it and are on your way to it?

Because before you buy it nothing would be there. Maybe they think that there is something going on there hrug:
Maybe there could be a thief or a ghost going through your house (of course with a quest attached).

Cool

So you've bought a house
You havent been inside your house yet but plan to do so... on your way you meet a man/woman
he/she greets you
you reply with a good day (or something cheezy)
They mention, I;ve heard someone bought that house, theirs lots of noise coming from inside I wonder what the new owner is doing

Did you buy a huanted home??? are their bandits hiding in their????

This must be taken care of !!!


OR

You've bought the house, moved your stuff in and step out for a meal or a drink or just to travel about, when you go to return to your home you meet said man/woman

yada yada yada bought the home, noises.......

Has someone broken in, you wern't expecting visitors this must be taken care of !!!

something like that?

how bout a necromancer resurrected thousands of dead bodies trying to create an army to invade steadhelm :lmao:

[blackbird]

I thnik that thousands would be too much, but the idea is nice. It reminds me to the quest of Meridia.

[bob196045]

I am not sure what WW's Idea was behind this but I do not think it was 1000 undead

But its not a bad idea that the house is probably haunted

Lets say this

Player buys house

Goes to local furniture store and orders furniture.

The store owner says they will deliver the furniture as soon as possible
(Player must not be in home when delievery comes)

(at least 2 days should pass before anything happens) after 2 days

Player leaves (to go anywhere)

When player returns - speaking to anyone

(Any NPC) I heard that home had been bought recently, theirs been lots of noise coming from their I wonder whats going on

(Player) Entry- I was told today that their has been lots of noise coming from a home which I just bought Maybe the furniture has arrived I should go see

Player enters home to find all furniture tossed about and a dead delivery guy on the floor

(Player) Entry- I entered my home to find it a mess and a dead man on the floor, what did I buy !! I should have a look into this

Player looks around house and discovers a trap door (wall door)

Now what do we want to be behind this ?


Enjoy

In Oblivion the rumours responses fall under the dialogue topic INFOGENERAL. If you create a quest with INFOGENERAL as one of the topics (and make sure you have the appropriate conditions e.g an NPC in the town you are in) then when they click the rumours topic ingame it will give the response that you have typed.

You could of course add a setstage command in the results script that will add the quest.

haunted house is already done in Vanilla OB.. so I'd suggest something else..
