This is my quest showcase, using the Remnants of Resdayn claim as basis. I'm only doing Path #1 as a showcase. The showcase is now ready for review. You can follow the decisions and flow of the quest, as well as spell/style-check the dialogue, in this google docs file: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WqRkJKQ3iiJiDQwvoQZEZqo9i6mbZdkgxCk3awFf7ko/edit?usp=sharing

NOTES FOR REVIEWER:

  1. The file requires the latest Roth Roryn and Andothren section files and TD_Addon, in addition to the usual requirements.
  2. The edit to the script "TR_m4_Bd_Wesencolm_s" is intentional to sidestep a bug in the Roth Roryn file related to the renaming (and rebuilding) of Bodrum. Removing it will cause the game to crash on loading.
  3. This only includes the journal messages and dialogue (choices) for Path 1 (convincing the foreman to wait for ordinators to deal with the cursed artifact). For the other paths, hooks remain visible in the google docs file.
  4. I did not make any interior changes yet, though the quest sort of needs them (there needs to be some Chimer ruins strewn about. Also for Ibelard -- it's said that the curse has made him violent, so it'd be good to keep him in some sort of a locked storeroom). I'll work on the interiors after the showcase is accepted.
  5. The front of the temple in Andothren includes the two (placeholder) priests, to be implemented for Why's Andothren Temple questline (the head priest gets replaced in the course of that questline, hence why there are two of them).
  6. I decided to not yet implement the dialogue for the Haalu questgiver in Andothren Council Manor, since the Haalu questline is currently in active development by Mark. This part is optional, anyhow, and can be done along with the other quest paths.

Uploading an .esp for safekeeping. Most of the showcase is implemented, except for the Andothren priests and their dialogue/scripts. There is also currently a bug with the dialogue following Ibelard's healing.

New esp for safekeeping. All that I wanted to implement for this showcase is now implemented. But the file is not yet cleaned, and I need to do more testing.

Uploaded a small update to the top post:

  1. Added a "Thank you" sound effect to Ibelard once you cure him.
  2. Decreased Temple faction reputation gain from 5 and 10 to 3 and 5.
  3. Changed wording: "Temple's neutrality" to "the Temple is above house politics" and "the devil's work" to "the work of a devil"
  4. Made the Omaynis rumor give a "quest ended" journal message, so as not to pollute the active quest list (further journals will restart it)
  5. Added a bit of a hint from Kalmaron about the possibility to dispel Ibelard of his curse.

Comments for claim work in the above. Besides that, this more than meets showcase standards, and is recommended for promotion

Thanks, Rot! I updated my quest showcase, uploading it to the top post, and fixed all the issues you pointed out:

  1. Changed Ibelard's healing to be under a different journal ID, so as to avoid potential conflicts with the main quest flow.
  2. Added a 30 disposition requirement for most lines added to misc topics ("Etana Egg Mine", "background", "my trade")
  3. Commented out the negative ModPCFacRep line, pending eventual implementation of negative faction reputation join mechanics.
  4. Added fail-safe AddTopic script lines to most places where quest-crucial topics were introduced.
  5. Capitalized "Ordinator" throughout.
  6. Added a negative opinion modifier to Llayno Erendi, after you convince his miners to go on strike.
  7. Changed the typographical ellipsis to three dots in Ibelard's insane greeting.
  8. Removed superfluous commas before ifs (thanks for the grammar resource!)
