One of the things I enjoy about walking around the Silgrad Lands is the number of people you meet, talking to most of them will yield similar results in response, thats just the way it is
What I would like to do with some of the misc quests is to feature certain NPC's throughout the areas who have special stories to tell about thier lives, some simple, some complex, but all fun
I propose to everyone, that if you have an NPC that you have a particular liking to or made to your own vision, then make your npc have his/her special story, post it in the Quest Development as a general discussion lets see what fun we can have and give our world a home town feeling not generic, everyone talks about the same stuff !
Example:
I have an NPC which I like (I don't know why I just do) He's a merchant, sells pottery, he tells me his story of how he came to Morrowind, decided to become a merchant, he's gonna get married soon, wants his brother to be his best man, but hasn't spoken to brother in years, doesn't know where brother is, last he heard brother was (XX location) mentions how nice it would be to have his brother at the wedding. find brother
The NPC hasnt directly asked the player to find his brother, but implies it. this would prompt the quest to begin
Example 2:
Your walking through the city and as you near an NPC he/she says good day (or something) how bout if some of those NPC's say things like Good Day but in a mumble make a smart remark about how you look or your attire or anything for that matter, in this case the player would receive a message in their journal.... I passed by a man he said good morning to me, but I heard him say something else and it didn't sound nice.
This would prompt the player to return to the NPC and Ask ! What did you say? Intimidation will play a part in this to prod the NPC to admitting his comment. It could be that the NPC is just having a bad day and he can tell you about it, this could lead to a quest or not Or maybe the NPC just doesn't like you and a few good pops to the jaw will straighten his attitude.
Just fun things to do
Also with regard to Silgrad for MW I thought the idea of having a help wanted board was fantastic and hope this will also be used in OB Version
You never knew what you were getting into when picking one of those help wanted papers
Enjoy
