Teleportation Services - Simple Fast Travel Alternatives

Teleportation Services

Requirements:

Shivering Isles

Oblivion Script Extender

Introduction

Several mods exist that implement fast travel alternatives, but I've always found myself making heavy modifications to them myself because I didn't like their implementation or they caused issues with other game systems or quests. Finally I decided to make my own, with a focus on simplicity, consistency with the vanilla game, and a good coverage of locations. This is that mod.

Description

This mod adds two teleportation networks to Cyrodiil that act as simple and vanilla-friendly fast travel alternatives. Each allows instantaneous travel between certain locations and seeks to emulate a Morrowind-style system.

Firstly, portals have been added to each Mages Guild hall, and allow fast travel between other halls and the Arcane University for a fee of 50 gold. This will be your main method of moving between cities quickly, and the service is open to members and non-members of the guild alike.

The second method of travel uses special altars called conduits, located at wayshrines and chapels to the Nine Divines. For an offering of 20 gold, you can travel between other wayshrines and the chapel of the affiliated god; however, to access this service you first need to have made a pilgrimage to any of the affiliated wayshrines at least once. Each god has three or four wayshrines located in the wilderness and one chapel located in a major city, with the exception of Kynareth who has no chapel. Conduits will be you main method of returning to a city whilst exploring the wilderness, but can also be used to access some remote locations (e.g. Wayshrines of Akatosh and Arkay are located close to the Priory of the Nine, etc). In lieu of a major chapel, Conduits of Kynareth allow teleportation to Gottlesfont Priory to match with the god's nature theme.

Both teleportation methods aim to fit in with the vanilla-style of simplicity and writing, etc, and new loading screens have even been added to notify players of the features. In addition, using either teleportation feature will also automatically transport your followers and horse. If your destination is inside a city, your horse will be waiting for you in the city's stables.
