Daggerfall Workshop Forums

I'm officially starting work on this right now. It's been a few months. I've been busy with life, games I've been meaning to play, chasing dreams, and really just working my day job. I'll be rusty but I should get the hang of it hopefully again fairly quick. I plan to overhaul the quest code, make it cleaner, and, hopefully, make the player skills helpful in detecting, sneaking, etc in random encounters. Not only that but I'm re-hauling the creature encounters to be more in line with the new infighting feature in DFU. Not only that but hopefully making things more balanced.In that idea I also plan on having events not only occur at certain locations, but also depend where the player is at, at all times. So now something could happen at any moment. For a short summary:

Warm Ashes V3 Concept Update:
-Skills/Repute effect encounters
-Better encounters (Better thought out, balance, etc)
-Less Conflict with DFU infighting
-More support for all locations (Villages, City's, Wilderness, anything can happen at any time!)
*Siege Mode will probably be removed for this release. I will need to clean that up nice and clean and have a better experience in the end*

Darn, we may have some overlapping in my Perpetual Quests then if you're adding them everywhere We'll have to see how much they coincide. Keep steaming ahead and I'll adapt my plans, don't wait for me.

I love your mod. Trust me, I really wouldn't want them to overlap and not be compatible. I'll keep an extra eye out.

The events are randomized, spiders must really hate you my man. Bad luck! And what a horrifying bad luck to have!

To give an update on how things are, I have the Ruins dungeon type exteriors basically done and work and ready for more variables if I want. At the moment I am working on random encounters in the Wilderness. I don't want them to be too eventful for the most part as I'd like destinations to be where bigger events take place. It's more of a immersion setter for me.

So, while traveling in the wilderness:
-Every hour a random event could occur though with how often it checks, it should be a very low chance of an encounter.
-Players with good stealth skills and attempt to avoid dangerous events such as bandits
-Neutral events can also happen where the player runs into other travelers and there is no sight of conflict (at least till I implement something or we geta feature to check legal repute)
-Players can try their chance robbing neutral npc's on their travels
-Players with good weapon skills, or a good streetwise skill have a good chance at being successful

As well as the ruins:
-Good stealth/streetwise skill can help players avoid encounters
-A player with good reputations with certain factions (or a player with good language skills EXAMPLE: Orcish) can help them make friends with enemies and avoid dangerous encounters.

Nice, love to see it reacting to player character like that!

Looks very cool, can't wait to play with it

Im very happy to see a progress on this mod, love it!

This is far better than what I had planned Great-looking stuff!

Hmm... Could add ambush and counter-ambush by PC and NPCs? Really cool mod.
