Archaeologists

Description

This mod enhances Daggerfall Unity gameplay by making language skills more viable and adding a new guild to the game, called "The Archaeologists Guild". Their mission is to delve into the history of Tamriel and are interested in all creatures and races who have lived or still live there. The guild is a scholarly one and seeks nether attention, power, or riches, but rather knowledge. Its guildhalls are found in smaller towns throughout the Illiac Bay rather than the more expensive and visible cities. The guild is loosely split into members who perform field work, and the more senior members who perform research and are experts in the obscure languages of Tamriel.

Essentially contains gameplay changes I would like for my own playing once DFU is released. I hope others find it enhances their play throughs as well.

  []Mark of recall given to all new recruits. Can be repaired or replaced by the guild for a price.

• Book containing guild ranks, benefits and hall locations given to new joiners. Can be replaced by talking to the mark repairer with a mark that doesn't need repair.

  Locator Device

  The intent of this service is to balance the atmosphere and epic-ness of dungeons, with provision of an in-game method for players to avoid searching the whole dungeon for hours and hours just to complete a simple quest that gets them 5 rep and a few hundred gold. It will not ensure every quest is successful, but just shortcut hours of very boring backtracking and having to explore every single crevice and cranny in the place. It's not intended to be used in every dungeon, but sparingly due to cost.

  The locator device is available to any member and provides a magically powered ability to see the quest tar
