Description

Moved to the claims browser: https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/claims/sheos-box-fun

Transferred from forum posting June 30th, 2016. Not all comments on the original thread have been acknowledged or responded to by original designer. This quest also needs a location chosen and a special interior created for  it.
http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/forum/misc-sheos-box-o-fun

A miscellaneous quest, which can be set anywhere (because the main action is in an interior cell)

 

Sheorograd dropped his favorite stuffed guar someplace inside his broom closet, but just can't find it again. If you can manage to find it, he'll reward you appropriately. It's probably not dangerous in there.

Agreeing to this, you find yourself suddenly in an interior cell, a boring room, with a door. You enter the door and find yourself in yet another room, but this one is stranger-- tipped sideways, and the chairs are floating. Or maybe the room is strangely small, or upsidown, or gigantic. In any case, you're in a house or cave designed by MC Escher at his worst, or Sheogorath on a normal day, and now your task is to find Mr Fluffles and get out.

Sheo's box o' fun may feature:

Rooms tipped sideways or upsidown

Floating things

Doors that lead to random places

Doors that don't lead back to where you were even though you just came through them

Doors that are very small

Rooms that are very jumbled

Confusion

Rooms that are scaled very big or scaled very small

Weird things

Rooms that are inside out

Geometry that would make a Tardis dizzy

 

Strictly speaking, the point of this quest is "have puzzling fun but also find this one item to get a reward" so it is very simple quest-wise, and is more like an interesting dungeon than an involved quest. The setup makes it a quest and gives you a reason not to just teleport out of there.

Additions to the Description:

Two things that can be added to this is the reward and starting location. 

For the starting location, you will speak to a bosmer in Raal Grotto.
 

The reward is the Wabbajack:https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/asset/wabbajack
The staff will either remain unenchanted (like Volendrung) as this area is close to Tyn, which is an area for low level characters. Or the staff will be scripted to produce random spells when used. And so the staff won't be very powerful. But if unenchanted, will make for a very good weapon to enchant for higher level characters. Script can always come at a later time.

As a note, this quest idea is open for anyone to develop if they have an idea to improve it.

Does: concepts, textures, youtube vids, admin stuff e.g. PR, handbook, assets, small website things. Activity level: wildly unpredictable. Still active. Find me on Discord.

Others:

Fixed all the guar toys and reordered the bookcases they were in to no bleed anymore.

Note from Reviewer: Nice looking int, but please do not forget our Quality Standards when it comes to interior development.

I've went off from Fürst Thal

Arvisrend's picture

I've went off from Fürst Thal's file (thanks Thal!) and fixed a few quest issues, too (tr_sheo_after_both_reviews.esp):

- Dialogue typos fixed. In particular, removed the "a" in "He seems desperate for me to find a someone known as Fluffles in the lost rooms of Sheogorath.".

- Dervenin was physically standing in the way; moved him.

- Exterior cell (3, -15) was edited for no reason. Deleted.

- Scripts optimized somewhat and also documented better.

- One of the scripts had an ID identical to an object's ID. Renamed the script.

Thanks Cicero!
