What do you all think I should do regarding the Daedric cult for the second quest? There's a ruin called Ald Mirathi, on the bank just north of the main Lake Boethiah area... the directions there would be tricky, but I think that might be simpler than making a new interior, especially if this ruin isn't being used for anything. What do you think?

Sounds fine.

Remember you don't necessarily need to give walking directions from Helnim - you can ShowMap the nearest settlement and give directions from there. (and include a further directions topic on how to get to there as well, if you want to be completely thorough)

Okay, I'll look into that.

I also have a question for paw-prints-in-the-mud, concerning the second "Tainted Goods" quest. Did you intend for this boat to be an entire ship complete with an interior, seeing how many people you want there to be? I'd rather size it down so that I don't have to create as many new objects to enable/disable, but if that was what you had in mind then I'm fine with going for it.

And concerning the possible ship interior, I am an interior modder as well, and although I haven't done any interior work in a LONG time, I think something simple as this would be easy to brush up on. So would I be in the clear to do that myself?

Pawprints hasn't logged on since March, so it might be a good idea to email him directly if you want an answer.

First WIP up. All five of paw-prints' quests are implemented, and after fine-tuning a few things (including the guar counter), I shall finish up the remaining quests when I have time again.

Alright, well, everything is just about finished. But now I've come across the issue of a cave for the robber baron. I think Otori will be the best option; however, do any of you think someone should expand it a bit? I might be able to rearrange a few things but my impression was that the cave should be much larger, maybe even two levels. Any opinion there?

Finished, send to review.

I resolved the cave issue by readapting it to put the robber baron towards the end of the cave. Someone should review that interior and the pathgrid and whatnot, just to be sure.

Aside from that, the robber baron is placed in the old prison, since there was a free cell I figured it wasn't a big deal; if that's a problem, it's easily fixed. Also, as a side note, I added in dialogue for "latest rumors," but for the militia I had to put the entry at the top of the Helnim section... I'm not sure if that's fine or maybe such an entry should be put elsewhere, I guess the reviewer and I can figure that out.

EDIT: One more thing, I forgot to change the sorcerer's robe. Right now it's the one used by the Temple mostly.

Ultimately a disappointing claim. Used only the barest minimum dialogue needed for each quest to be functional, very little development of characters.

Mostly functional, I had to make a number of small fixes here and there, and added in a lot of rather basic filler dialogue needed to make things flow (e.g. mid-quest responses to 'Greetings' 'orders' 'questtopic' for Hartise so that the player doesn't have to search for the quest in the dialogue list).

Whilst acceptable in that there were no game-breaking bugs, in future I'd prefer it if you put in a little more effort with your claims, Beave. This was scraping the bottom of the bare-minimum barrel in terms of lack of dialogue and development. As well as having the quest giver comment on the quest outside of "here's the goal" "here's the reward", you could also consider having the participants in the quest (and any other related NPCs) make some comments, so that it doesn't feel like these quests are operating in a vacuum - e.g. the other mine workers for Sandol, have them comment on his attitude, their response to his beating etc. This absence was so painful that I added that in myself.

This file is ready for merge.

This is also ready to be merged. I shouldn't have to say it by now but, double check anyways.
