Has anyone tried out Morrowind Rebirth?

It looks like a big mod compilation with several of its own additions as well. It came out with an update today and comes with directions on how to make it compatible with MGSO. My only issue is it doesn't really go into how extensive its changes are and how much they'll overlap the Great House mods or some of the other ones that add real estate to Vvardenfell.

I think they can be combined but it's not recommended? Overhaul redoes the graphics but I am assuming Rebirth does too?
Edit:

Although reading the features it doesn't seem like ReBirth adds graphics upgrades just much more content and fine tuning.

According to the Morrowind Rebirth author it's totally compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt and requires some fine tuning to be compatible with MGSO.

Has anyone tried the, uh, "Epic" series of city expansions? It looks promising in that it seems to add some variety to cities without going apeshit with random nonsense.

Some updates about Tamriel Rebuilt on their tumblr:

Are there any plans for something similar to a main quest in mainland Morrowind?

Tamriel Rebuilt posted:

Not so much as a main quest, as TR is starting to move away from treating Mainland and Vvardenfell as seperate entities, treating the province of Morrowind as a single gameworld. We will probably in fact be taking an opposite direction, removing the distinction between �Mainland� and �vanilla� questlines, at least in terms of factions. (This was an important decision that was made to increase immersion and give Morrowind�s factions unified storylines, versus the very game-y seperation of our old policy of not touching vanilla Morrowind and introducing seperate factions for Mainland quests). Implementing this in game and dealing with the existing quests won�t happen for awhile though.

As for how, and whether this will also involve expanding the Main Quest of Morrowind to include the Mainland remains to be decided. We�ve recently gone back to the drawing board when it comes to story things, so there�s alot we have to figure out on that front before tackling something like that in-game. Not to mention the potential controversies that making such choices might cause. It�s not something we take lightly, but we�ve recently realized there�s alot of potential to come up with cool new lore for Morrowind, outside simply expanding game content in the CS.

So if you�re interested in Morrowind/TES lore, and seek to expand it in a way that is faithful to the mythos of Tamriel, you�re definitely welcome to contribute! You don�t necessarily need to know how to use the CS to contribute.

TLDR: No for a seperate Mainquest. Also no expanding the MQ to the Mainland for the forseeable future, though that may change. The majority of our questmaking is currently being focused on miscellaneous quests instead.

What about say, questlines for factions and similar? I know the Imperial Archaeological Society has some stories to tell, same with the Telvanni.

Tamriel Rebuilt posted:

As mentioned in the last ask, the current long-term plan is that there will only be one �House Telvanni� and one �House Redoran�, and so on. Right now all our factions are completely seperated from their vanilla counterparts. Our goal is to eventually have a single questline for each faction in Morrowind. Right now that is not the case. Our old doctrine of not touching vanilla Morrowind forced us to create an artificial seperation between House Telvanni and Mainland House Telvanni. We realized from a storytelling perspective that this is problematic.

And yes, this basically means we will need to eventually make measured edits to Vvardenfell�s quests in order to achieve that goal. But the payoff will be a more immersive, unified storyline, hopefully also addressing some of the shortfalls in the vanilla faction questlines. (Alot of them felt unfinished anyways and some of them lacked a central plot due to the lack of resources Beth had at the time at least in a few people�s opinions).

As for the scope of these measured edits, we probably won�t be redoing Morrowind�s main storylines. Examples of stuff we might change (using Telvanni as an example) would be things like demoting Gothren from Archmagister and giving it to Dral on the Mainland, or moving the council from Sadrith Mora to Port Telvannis. We�ll definitely need to tweak faction ranks and advancement to accomodate for the extra quests and expanded storyline that includes points on the ML. We�ll also probably make these house questlines more meaningful/interesting in the context of Morrowind�s central plot.

Questlines such as the IAS are also getting the same treatment, but some of our minor factions might be based in a specific region of the province. However, we lack writers and questers, so for the msot part we�re focusing on minor guild quests and miscellaneous quests since they�re the ones that require the least planning in terms of developing background/lore.

In time, we hope there are mainland quests that send you to Vvardenfell and vice-versa, treating Morrowind is a single gameworld. Our eventual goal is to shift away from being a mod that adds the Mainland, to a TES3 TC, presenting a version of the game if Bethesda had released it with the entire province from the start.

This is a super long-term plan though, and I don�t expect any major changes will be happening in game anytime soon, and certainly not before we�ve come up with a plan to do this properly. And also, we won�t be redoing the game�s story from the ground up, so no worries there either.

Maybe somebody can win and have him do a decent lore-friendly armor and/or weapon mod that isn't either onesie and twosie pieces or a humongous pack with shotgun-spread quality. That's always been something I feel the Morrowind mod community doesn't have a lot of. He wouldn't even have to build most of the stuff, he could just ~~steal~~ borrow the better pieces from other gargantuan packs.

Cubey posted:

I always thought it was kinda weird that there are so many House Telvanni mods and nothing at all for the other great houses. I mean Telvanni are the bestand all, but still. I'd kinda be down with a Redoran mod just because I really like their architecture, even though IMO they are the weakest great house quest line.

I think Grandmaster of House Hlaalu is the only thing that comes close to the level of any of the Telvanni mods. That at least has a long quest line and comprehensive expansions to Rethan Manor. Redoran has Bal Isra Rising and a few other minor building addition mods, but as far as quest support I guess you have Pax Redoran. Not sure if that one has the same problems as some of the others in the LGNPC series.

Ultimately I think it comes down to the fact that the thought of mad wizard lords and their elaborate mystical towers inspires stronghold ideas more readily than "collaborationist mafia" or "hidebound desert bug-samurai."

I recall there being a quest chain where you help some downtrodden Ashlanders resettle in a more favorable area. It ends up with you helping them set up in an area near an abandoned ancestral tomb and the wise woman mentions that they'll tend to the tomb because the family died out a while back (Aran?).

It sticks out to me because I had named my character after that tomb because there weren't any other NPCs with that name in the game.

I remember thinking it was cool because it ends up creating a whole new little Ashlander camp with services.

I can't find any reference to this quest in the UESP. Is it from a mod or did I have a haunted Morrowind install?

Container's found in the C&E Office, make sure you grab the key off the floor as the trunk locks whenever you leave it, and you also need the key to ask a guild guide to teleport it into whatever Mages Guild you're in. It ports to your stronghold, the barracks in Gnisis and Fort Frostmoth if you're a Legion member, as well as some other places noted in the readme. Otherwise you need to pay for a room at an inn to access it. The Publicans support is built in.

TR version coming sometime later.

I'm sorry but I must be a big ol' doofus because I can't find the travel trunk key anywhere in the Census and Excise Office. Is it behind a shelf or under some saltrice bags or something?

So I recently installed Beautiful Cities of Morrowind and tried to rent a room at Arrille's Tradehouse from the new NPC but whenever I select either "Yes" or "No" I get caught in an infinite loop where the innkeeper NPC immediate starts asking the same question all over again. I am unable to leave the conversation and have to reload a new save or exit the game to get out of it.

At first I thought this was an issue with the new BCOM NPC but then I tried test runs to rent rooms at the Eight Plates in Balmora and Six Fishes in Ebonheart and found that I had the same issue. So some mod has screwed up whatever script innkeepers use to rent rooms in my game. The only other mods I have which I'm aware affect beds are The Publicans (with the BCOM esp replacer) and Bed Buddies (although I have 231 other esps that could be affecting it).

Has anyone run into this issue before?

EDIT:

Nevermind!

I've playing with Illuminated Order Improved but have run into an issue early on that prevents me from progressing.

Spoilers for the beginning of Illuminated Order Improved Mod:

After obtaining the invitation and key to Demnevanni Manor and speaking with Thurvien it seems like I should be given a quest to take a letter to M'Aiq the Liar. However I'm never given a letter to given him or a journal entry. I checked a video of the quest online and it seems the issue is that the "letter" topic is not activating to select to start the quest.

I see from the posts on the Nexus mod page that others have run into this issue as well but it doesn't appear that any of them have been able to find a solution.

I'm using the current load order from here, this list, The Guar Whisperer and Friends and Foes.

I've tested this with both the original Illuminated Order Improved esp and the esp replacer from BCOM and tried moving it around in the load order but the issue persists. Does anyone have an idea what is causing the issue? If I can't get this fixed is there a console command I can activate to allow me to start this quest?
