Tamriel Rebuilt

I noticed that the UESP already has that information, including descriptions, for a large amount of NPCs. (Especially in the Telvanni lands)

That looks very cool, but it's making me wonder about the idea of hexagonal cantons. It's a nice idea symbolically but, won't Dres settlements feel very repetitive if they are all forced to fit inside of hexagons? I think it would be more interesting if you had modular pieces which allowed you to cr...

Based on [url=http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Addhiranirr]Addhiranirr's dialogue[/url], I've always assumed that House Dagoth was using smugglers to carry ash statues to the mainland, so it would make sense if there were minor shrines in caves and settlements, especially along the inner sea.

Here's a random idea that I'll throw out there. Wouldn't it be interesting if Dres was attempting to turn the Argon jungle into an extension of the Deshaan. Perhaps they would dig massive canals from the Plains which spill salt water into the jungle, killing the native plants and creating areas wher...

Here is my random lurker's take: 1) Xanth Ebonheart sounds too obviously made-up. Not a fan at all. 2) Greater Ebonheart sounds like you're talking about the Ebonheart urban area; i.e. the 'greater New York area'. 3) Grand Ebonheart sounds... okay I guess. 4) None of these names are meaningfully dif...

I just want to take a moment to express how relieved I am that you all are planning to replace those horrible horrible trees. Thank you!

ihavefivehat

That's really nice! Great work on the coloring and the border is beautiful.

Personally, I find the floating banners distracting. In my opinion it would be better to have the text somewhere at the edge of the composition. Or maybe the text is unnecessary.

ihavefivehat

This is the opinion of an outsider, of course, but in my experience it can be really valuable to pair planning with implementation. On projects with no deadline, planning can spiral into infinity. Putting something into the game can be a way of making yourself to commit to a particular vision rather...

St. Veloth, I like your ideas of taking inspiration from the landscape of Mars. I think that the landscape of Shipal-Shin would be more intriguing if it used a Mars-like color palette rather than the straight-ahead Grand Canyon style are which is emerging from concepts right now. But I have to say, ...

Hi, I'm not a member of the TR team, but I thought I'd chime in since I can answer your question :) It sounds like you might be in the alpha lands. The TR download comes with two ESP's, TR_Alpha and TR_Mainland. TR_Alpha contains what is just a preview of the work-in-progress parts of Tamriel Rebuil...

ihavefivehat

Hmm, Tamriel Rebuilt shouldn't actually change anything on Soltheim. Did you install the Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul? That might have been what replaced your tree models. If so, I'm not sure if there's a way to go back to the vanilla models without reinstalling Morrowind.

ihavefivehat

I love the drawing, but I'm not a fan of that tile filter. I think it would look great as a fresco, though!

ihavefivehat

Maybe you can take some inspiration from these ancient Chinese bronze vessels. https://www.google.com/search?q=chinese+jue&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=WEaXVYTmEYWXNv3tgIAP&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=763#tbm=isch&q=shang+bronze+vessel Many of them are tripodal, whic...

Personally, I'm really relieved to see that you guys won't be doing anything drastic to the geography of this region. The mephalain mountains region is my favorite area in the current release. It's fun to learn the terrain, and it's full of interesting vistas and neat secrets. I think with a few uni...

Very cool! That first picture is beautiful. Did you model those rocks too?

But I have to agree that the red texture is a little bit too vivid, especially next to the buildings. I think if you just made it somewhat more pale it would make a huge difference.

ihavefivehat

I was thinking that it might be cool if Dres towns were built on top of/into skyrender nests. Drew a quick concept for it:

ihavefivehat

Oh yeah, that looks great! Way better than the yellow-striped model in the current release.

I looked at that quote on the UESP in context and it looks like it's just someone's way of explaining why all the Dunmer buildings in Elder Scrolls Online (which takes place in the second era) use the Indoril style. I wouldn't take it too seriously. In reality, the devs of ESO probably just didn't w...

If the word 'coast' is overused, then what about Sundered Shore? I think it has kind of a nice ring to it.

Here are some images from the top of Mount Roraima in Venezuela. To me, they look like how I imagine parts of Telvanni territory. (But with less giant mushrooms) [spoiler] [img]http://www.cruzine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/019-lost-world-tepuy-venezuela.jpg[/img] [img]http://36.media.tumblr.com/...

I think that the lack of direction and a larger goal is important to Hlaalu's identity. They appear to be at the height of power, but really they are only a few years from being pushed off the council. They are rich and powerful, but have lost the larger picture of how to use that money and power. T...

I like the idea of Dres using cantons. I have the image of the Dres cities being made up of many smaller cantons instead of one giant one. Check out this image of a Midwestern native American city: [spoiler][img]http://www.legendsofamerica.com/photos-illinois/CahokiaMounds-old.jpg[/img][/spoiler] (A...

I feel like having a lot of pod villages would be out of character for the Telvanni. It seems like their tower villages are almost entirely populated by people- merchants, guards, suppliers, etc. who are directly contracted by the resident wizard lord. I think the relationship between Telvanni lords...

ihavefivehat

In Vivec, I think we can assume that Dres and Indoril don't have cantons simply because they don't have territory on Vvardenfell.

Escort missions are kind of a drag in Morrowind so I like that you're spicing it up a bit. If the thing with the passerby is too complicated, maybe the guar will just attack the player at a certain point if it's not given the medicine. (I think some weak calm creature or command scrolls would make m...

I just spent some time reading through this and a few other threads concerning Indoril. Here are some miscellaneous ideas which occurred to me. I like that charitable giving is a prominent part of Indoril society. It shows that there is something genuinely admirable about their traditions, and allow...

ihavefivehat

I appreciate the thoroughness of your thinking. I do think my idea is feasible, though. I'll explain how I arrived at it's design. What you describe is very similar to the way mushrooms are cultivated in the real world, as seen in this picture: [url]http://coldwatergardens.com/monthly_newsletter/ima...

I don't think most players will be going into TR with maxed-out characters. Besides, I think would be a bad precedent to make TR reliant on other mods, especially considering that we don't know what the mod-scene will look like years from now when the project is actually finished.

1. Watery fields like rice paddies. Within, rows of wooden stakes driven into the ground. On the damp stakes a particular deadwood fungus is cultivated for harvest. Can look like anything (I was thinking something with long spikes or fronds). I don't have a good way to scan or photograph hand drawn...

I could try my hand at any of the above. What sort of things did you have in mind?

ihavefivehat

Actually, I would love to get involved. I've been following TR on and off for almost a decade and I do have plenty of ideas stored away. I suppose I've held off on joining the project because I can't guarantee that I'll be able to devote a lot of time to it and also because my skill set is limited. ...

I have to say, it's pretty mind-blowing to imagine all of Skyrim, Cyrodiil and Morrowind being implemented in the same world-space. You guys are doing great work.

ihavefivehat

Hi. I'm not a staff member, but I think I can answer your question. The TR_map1 and TR_map2 esms are outdated files from when Tamriel Rebuilt used a different release format. The latest releases have merged all of that content into a single esm called TR_Mainland which includes everything from map1 ...

Speaking of Home of the Nords and Project: Cyrodiil, I've always been curious as to why those two projects chose to start all the way in the west rather than in the east where they could link up to the Tamriel Rebuilt landmass. As a TES fan, it would be an absolute dream come true to be able to walk...
