📋 About This Mod

First time modding, in this Mod I attempt to overhaul the main quest by adding more options to complete the quests. Mainly by taking your rank and influence in other factions in account. Currently covers the Informant Missions Antabolis,

When using this keep in mind, that it is my first time modding and that english is not my native language. Typos and grammar errors may still linger. Feedback and corrections aswell as ideas are greatly appreciated.

Idea behind this mod and guiding principle

As I've been playing this game for over 15 years now, and experienced the main quest countless times I've felt that it is lacking some variety in how different characters might interact with the mainquest plotlines. I aim to add new ways of completing the quests -  provided that you have relevant influence in factions relating to the characters you are interacting with. For example I really like playing crusader characters which go heavily into the temple and redoran questlines and abhor looting the venerated ancestral tombs. Yet in order to gain Sharn gra-Muzgobs trust you have to do just that. Well now thanks to my mod if you are of sufficient rank within either faction you can threaten Sharn to bring the Ordinators wrath upon her necromantic soul. However this also means that if you start the main quest at lvl 1-3 you will probably not notice any big differences. That is by design, as when you start out in morrowind neither you or your character have the relevant knowledge or influence to pressure npcs to do your bidding. As long as you are green behind the ears you have to do other peoples bidding without much wiggle room. On the other hand Characters who have built up reputation and an extensive cover identity can use their gained influence to their advantage now.

Another thing that bothered me at the beginning of the main story is that while you're playing spy for Caius, his cover identity as "just and old man with a skooma problem and bread-and-basket" is immediately invalidated as every single informant you are interacting with knows the actual identity of THE GRAND-SPYMASTER of Vvardenfell. Thats a lot of loose ends in my book and a big security hazard, if anyone of them might ever fall in the hands of the temple. So now neither hasphat nor sharn know you are coming at the behest of caius and are just treating this like any other request for information.

Incompabilities:

I've heavily edited the main quest journal entries and relevant dialogue topics. Everything else should be fine. (have not seen any issues with lgnpc for example)

This will make it incompatible with AI voicelines like the excellent Quest Voice Greetings. However since the latter doesnt cover every character yet I would still recommend to use it.

Main Quest Overhaul should work mostly fine. The alternative Nerevarine Versions might have dialogue and journal entry conflicts. As I'm not using this mod I can not be certain though.

Julan, Ashlander Companion (from the main page: This mod relies on the Main Quest! Thus, it will of course be incompatible with any mod that alters the Main Quest in a significant man
