Forum cleanup

Post by Theo »

Ok, so I have cleaned this forum from old proposals, which are in forum archives right now. Does not mean that they were all rubbish, but some of them have been developed or included in later guild suggestions or questlines, wo they were no more necessary. Among removed guilds there were:

Noblemen guild - Noblemen are organized in great houses.

Traders guild 3x - Most of trade activiteis in Morrowind are organized by house Hlaalu and criminal syndicates. Good background and questline would help this to be approved.

Readers, writers, pathmakers, prostitutes guild - what kind of quests would PC do for these organizations?

Red Cross, Wich Hunters - Covered by Temple.

Mercenary (2x), Bodyguard (2x), Monster hunting (2x), archer (2x), gladiator (2x) guild - Covered by Fighters guid.

Alchemy, Summoning guild - covered by mages guild.

Tombraider guild - Covered by Thieves guild. Odd.

Camona Tong joinable (2x), Dark Brotherhood joinable (2x) - no for lore reasons.

Vampires (3x), Werewolves, necromancers guild - First are organized in clans, second are not organized (yet connected with Hircine cult), third are connected with Telvanni and Molag Bal cult and not organized well as well.

Hunters guild, Rangers guild - Connected with Hircine cult.
Sign, race, gender, occupation based guilds - no

Iluminati, Republicans - (This entertained me. Suggest some good questline for them and we will see)

Tamrielic players, Twinn lamps - These have green light from me, but it is not time to develop quests for those.

If you think I removed some of the threads unjustly inform me here and I might resustitate them.

What are the lore reasons against joining the dark brotherhood? You could do it in daggerfall, and the fact that they're outlawed and actively persecuted (not to mention psychotic) could make for some interesting qestlines.

The reason - you've killed hundreds of them in Tribunal questline. Plus do a forum search.

Could you reinstate the Illuminati thread? Or at least post what was said here or in a PM? I'm highly interested in what that one had to say.

The "Illuminati" guild was my idea, the basic premise was that you'd run around bribing/assinating important figures to take there places, keep a steady flow of income through various legal/illegal means, keep the imperials and temple from sniffing you out, stir the public through various activities (like setting up a fake cult to collect money from some people or get them to preform a big task, then leave them and set the ordinators after them to clean up your tracks and distract the ordinators for awhile)

IMHO: That seems like it would be to much of simply telling people what to do and clicking choices. Not enough movement to be much fun in the game.
Edit: The assisnations might be fun but you could just do that in the theives guild. If you are going to be the leader of this group why would be doing all the grunt work. Mabey if you were just a lowly level person, than it might work. Are there any histories or queasts of ranks, this might be fun to work on, although I am still woried that it will be to talkitive once you get higher.
