the main problem is this...
we want to find a way for a player to be in either Temple or 6th House, and yet still function in the world fine.
Why? Because joining 6th House shuts you off from all other factions save Cammona Tong, as well as branding you as the evil guy. Joining Temple shuts you off from SOME aspects like Imperial stuff, and being in an illegal faction is not allowed either.
Therefore, these two limit your choices, so we need to find ways to make them more open.
It seems as though only a catastrophic event can get the two and Morrowind in general to reconcile.
what is our catastrophic event?
the Oblivion?
No, Redoran and Telvanni are taking care of that, barely.. and that's what Cyrodiil is about
Invading Nords?
No, mainland Redoran, as well as Dunmer in northern Vvardenfell are taking care of that...
post-Great House War?
No, not catastrophic enough for all the Dunmer come together, they are too proud, especially after war
the Akaviri?
No, not enough lore on the subject, although doing so WOULD WORK
another Province invading?
Nords from Skyrim invade as do Argonians, but none on such a large scale and directly affecting Vvardenfell
if we are going to solve this Temple-6th House issue, we need to think of something that will be:
1. original and creative
2. close to Vvardenfell events
3. have enough lore
any ideas?
