Screw You Sovor Trandel

Screw You, Sovor Trandel

By DimNussens

Requires: Morrowind

1. 1 -- Added ownership to the key. Sovor Trandel now might attack on sight after you rat him out, so you might want to avoid the Council Club unless you're looking for a brawl.

Description

------------

The Balmora Thieves Guild quest involving the Nerano Manor key has always vaguely irked me -- I do not like the Camonna Tong, I do not wish to deal with them, and I certainly do not wish to help them. I only very recently learned that if you bribe the key away from Sovor, you can actually turn him in to his master, and get him fired!

This pleased me greatly. While very much enjoying the catharsis this brought me, I soon found difficulty completing the quest -- the only other key is terribly hard to get, especially early on, and if you do the quest in this manor, you're effectively "softlocked" and unable to complete Larrius Varo's Little Request, as Sovor Trandel is disabled after turning him into his master, and therefore doesn't count as "killed."

This little mod is a remedy to that. The features are:

First, you can now complete Habasi's quest to get the key without even talking to Sovor Trandel, or pickpocketing the key from Ondres Nerano. There is a third key placed inside of Nerano Manor's cell. Unless you're miserably short like Fargoth, you should be able to find it reasonably easily.

Second, you are now able to bribe the key from Sovor Trandel and return it to Ondres Nerano, who will reward you with a hundred gold for returning it. Sovor Trandel is no longer disabled if you do this. He won't be happy about it, though.

Third, as Sovor is no longer disabled after turning him in, you are now able to complete Larrius Varo's Little Request by dealing with the Bad People. If you help poor Larrius with his humble and heartfelt request, you might even get a little extra catharsis after Sovor breathes his last.

Fourth, in the updated version, Sovor Trandel will be less than happy if you rat him out. Mechanically this is done by setting his fight to 75, which should trigger a fight for all but the most silver-tongued of Personality builds.

Unzip in your Data Folder, or use your preferred mod installer such as Mod Organizer 2. OpenMW users might elect to install this mod the "OpenMW Way," as explained on Modding-Openmw.com.

Manual uninstallation (barring abnormal installation procedures) should be as simple as deleting the "ScrewYouSovor.esp" file.
