The island's shaman is a woman in the main quest.

I'm overjoyed, this all really seems to be coming together! Keep up the good work everyone!

I will take a look at those quests later, and we can work on updating them together.

I'd like to stick to the mainquest for now and really concentrate on it so I can get it done. Then I will really need a few people to beta test this thing, I'm sure there are still bugs to find. That's going to be the time when I'll take care of side quests and stuff like music, etc. But keep updating this thread, it'll be a great resource of ideas once I'm done with the main line.

PS: The chief will now run up to you once you start a fight with his soldiers and the dialogue won't be quite as pleasant as otherwise, but he will forgive you (if you choose the right answers. Pissing off a boss of an island surrounded by his soldiers does not seem wise to me..). Otherwise, I think the player will have failed the mainquest and die.

@simonp92:
I suggest you host it on filefront or megaupload. I look forward to hearing it. If you look back at the quest story a couple of pages back, there are several lines for the shaman under the quest "Keeping the Pact".

@drmccoy:
You're right, the mainquest should be your priority now. I really like the idea of the chief running up to the player as you suggested. Good work, keep it up!

Wooohooo! I totally vote for Ashland! Huuuuge thumbs up man! That's exactly how I imagined him speak!

BTW: do we have any other modder aboard besides me? I could use some help regarding some interiors (eg. the shamans one)

I have worked on it for like 10 hours today. .. Jeez, I'm such a nerd.
Anyhow. Could I use "Naenlorns Home" ? It's on the main island, right next to the house in which I put the chief. The interior is actually a little shaman looking. A fire pit, some skulls, alchemy. There's no NPC in there. May it be that this cell was planned to be the shamans house? If not, can I simply use it for the shamans house?

Edit: Alright, I know it might already have been planned for something else, but ..... I'm taking that. .... I'm taking that cell. It's right next to the chiefs hosue and there is SO MUCH FRIGGIN ALCHEMY STUFF in there .. looks like a shamans house... the npc it was ment for is not existing. I'm taking it =P

definitely the ashlander voice. No question about it! I hope we hear more from this guy!

I think drmccoy is talking about the main village on the largest island. From the sound of it, it looks like it was meant to belong to the shaman anyway.

@drmccoy:
I'll do some of the interiors. What were you thinking of? (ATM I don't know how many still needs doing)

Yes, I'm talking about the main village on the largest island. There are two houses, one is already linked to "NaenlornsHome". Naenlorn though doesn't exist and the name is blank. The interior looks like a shaman house. The house next to it was unused, so I used it for the chiefs home.

@Deeza: As soon as I know which houses I'll need and which I won't, I'll let you know what I need.

Alright, back from eating, the video file is still uploading. Its 80MB, but its good quality

The pictures is actually not helping. A little bit more south are 2 hutts, a little away from the others. They're unfortunatelly not included in the pic. Here, I'll make you some!

The shaman is done, she's REEAALLY old and REEEAALLY ugly!

I think so. I made her one.

Mainquest: Is the "Main coral" item already ingame? I only foudn a coral rock with some fishes and a shark to it northern of the largest island. Where can it be found? or do I have to include it? If yes, how should I go about it.

Second, I thought of a little twist to the main story. Instead of simply picking Sammanul and heading back to the others, he has to find sammanul first. He was investigating and got himself in some kind of trouble. You could use a funny background to it, but you don't have to. What do you think of it? Should I do it or not? If yes, where should he be? And why?

Edit: Was the linked one once intended for the shaman? It's got so much alchemy stuff in it? And skulls and stuff?

Cool, I like the idea of extending the mainquest a little. Perhaps he's in one of the other houses, having been invited in for a meal, only to find out that he's being served a cooked Bosmer (the player has to give him an excuse to leave)

As for the heart coral, it's not in-game yet. Can you create a new item that's carryable by the player but uses the same mesh and texture as the static items? (There's no need for it to have havoc physics because it will be a quest item that the player can't drop)

I think you can assume the house was intended for the shaman. It's definitely appropriate.

All Bosmer are cannibals. It's kinda normal for them. But I think the inn should be removed all the same. These are remote islands, so nobody would come to stay there.

I have no idea if I can create such an item. I'll try ..
So, the inn will be removed?

Edit: Yes, I can create it, but I'll need an icon file for it. Volunteers?

Anyone of you will make me an icon of a coral now! Mad

The item is done though and it's placed at a small coral rock I created a little further out than the existing one. I made the attacking sharks 3 btw.

Here's the mesh. I can't upload the texture here. Do you need it? I'd zip it if you really need it, but as for the texture: It's actually only yellow.

Alright, here's the zipped texture, hope it's the right ones.

I have during testplay realized that there's a huge pink blobb out in nowhere, right in the middle of the forest on the largest island? The editor calls it a "spider cave entrance" .. pretty pink for a cave entrance, don't you think? ^^
