Timely Escape

Version 1. 1. 3

====Requirements====

- Morrowind

- Bloodmoon

- MGE XE 0. 10. 1

- MWSE 2. 1+

This mod requires a very recent nightly build of MWSE. Please be sure to run the mwse-update.exe before playing this mod.

====Description====

When you die in Morrowind, you are given two choices: reload or quit. Unless you are particularly hardcore, you will probably choose the former. Unfortunately, this means that death has minimal consequences -- only setting you back to the last time you saved. Since there is no limitation on when or how often you can save, many players wear out their F5 key by quicksaving before every fight. There is no reason to run from a fight that is too tough, or to use a spell to make a quick escape. Maybe you have found this unsatisfying, and given yourself rules for when you can save, and whether you can jump back into an encounter over and over, but wouldn't it be better if the game just gave you actual consequences for dying?

This mod detects when your character is about to die, and then whisks them out of harm's way at the last moment. You are not dead, but your stats have been permanently reduced. You can configure the amount your character's stats are reduced by (including 0), which stats (attributes of skills) are penalized, as well as whether the mod uses Divine Intervention, Almsivi Intervention, or a teleport to the Shrine of Azura.

===Configuration===

This mod uses the MCM functionality of MWSE to present several configuration options.

General Settings

Teleportation Options: Select whether the mod uses Almsivi Intervention, Divine Intervention, or a teleport to the Shrine of Azura.

MessageBox: Enable to display a message box after the teleport, with some flavor text and the notification that your stats have been decreased.

Voice: Enable to play a short, lore-friendly voice message after the teleport.

Confirm: enable to get a confirmation box before the intervention. (Inspired by Danae's desire for the ability to put her character's fate up to the vote of the stream.)

Death Animation: Enable to mimic what the game does when your character dies, before intervening.

Natural: Instead of a supernatural rescue, simulates being left for
