Imperial City Rickshaw Service

"Why walk when you can ride?"

- An ancient Dunmer proverb

Overview

This mod implements a rickshaw service in the Imperial City, allowing players to get around the city in a quick and immersive way. This mod was inspired by both the gondola service in Vivec City in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind as well as the mod Anvil Rickshaw Travel by mwgek for the Project Cyrodiil mod for Morrowind.

Rickshaws can be found in the Talos Plaza, Market, Arena, Imperial Prison, Arcane University, and Waterfront. Each rickshaw has different loactions that they can take you to, so you may need to learn the travel routes to find the most optimal path to your destination. The fare for a ride is twenty gold regardless of destination.

Limitations

This mod uses the vanilla vineyard cart model for the rickshaws. It definitely would not be very comfortable if it was actually used a rickshaw, but it is the most suitable vanilla model in the game. If someone would be interested in creating and implementing a unique asset for the rickshaws, feel free.

The 'rickshaw drivers' are implemented as message boxes that appear when you activate the rickshaws, rather than actual in-game NPCs. I chose this as it felt to be the most immersive option possible at this time, as it is currently not possible to add custom voice acting to Oblivion Remastered as far as I am aware, and unvoiced modded NPCs feel at odds with the rest of the game.
