Necrocraft - A Comprehensive Necromancy Gameplay And Quests Mod.



Introduction

There has always been a weird  contradiction between Morrowind lore and gameplay, regarding necromancy. In Lore it's a forbidden art of raising undead minions from corpses, a special and distinct way to practice conjuration. Gameplay-wise, however, all that the player can do is temporally summon undead creatures, same way as daedra. And while for daedra this mechanics makes sense, it's not the case with undead. There have been multiple attempts to introduce propper necromancy in Morrowind but none of them fully satisfied me. And none of them used the awesome power of MWSE lua scripting. And so I present you Necrocraft - A Comprehensive Necromancy Gameplay And Quests Mod.

Description

This mod is a modern day implementation of necromancy the way it's represented in lore. With the help of such lua frameworks as Skill Module, Magicka Expanded and Crafting Framework Necrocraft seamlessly integrates new mechanics in game and overhauls the existent ones as well as provides new spells, quests and mysteries to solve, allowing to fully experience being the practicioner of a forbidden art of necromancy. Here are some of the features of the mod:

After aquiring the skill, you get new options for Dispose Corpse button. Press Left Alt, while investigating the corpse, to switch it between Harvest Bones, Prepare Corpse and its default functionality.

You can carry crafted bonepiles in your inventory and then place them in the world when you want to raise a minion. You can move prepared corpse using the positioning mechanics from Crafting Framework.

[]Undead Raising. There are three new magic effects related to raising undead: Raise Skeleton, Raise Boneconstruct and Raise Corpse. The stronger the spell the more powerfull undead can be raised with it. Cast a spell on a prepared corpse or bonepile. The process of undead raising is fully immersive and uses vanilla and Antares animations to provide eye candy. You can learn the spells from grimoires in lairs of dark wisards or directly from other Necromancers.

[]Necromancers. Morrowind's necromancers aren't part of a united faction or a cult. Instead they are distinct individuals with their own purposes and agendas who can have  in common only the passion and talent for the dark arts. Each of them can be persua
