The Cursed Tribe - Quest Expansion (TCTQE)

Description

After watching Unknown G's video on the Cursed Tribe, I wanted to restore the cut content and expand the quest.

I would recommend watching this video first, to understand the cut content.

As such, I changed the following in The Cursed Tribe quest:

• []Changed the start of the quest: The player needs to be an Orc or Bloodkin and speak to any chiefs of the other Strongholds, asking for rumors.[/]

  []Added back the cut dialogue to Atub and Yamarz, about the haunting ghosts, Shagrol and the shrine.[/]

  []Added a new shrine northwest of Largashbur (and a patch leading up to it), which you'll need to visit during the quest.[/]

  []Made the generic Orcs (fighting the giant at start) unique Orc with names and faces, instead of clones of each other.[/]

  []Made the Orcs of the Stronghold actually pray when Malacath is being summoned, instead of not even acknowledging it.[/]

  []Gave Shagrol's Warhammer a unique appearance, like a worn version of Volendrung.[/]

  []Gave the Giant at "Giant's Grove" a unique name and made him visibly wield Shagrol's Warhammer.[/]

  []Added additional giants and mammoths to "Giant's Grove".[/]

  []Renamed "Giant's Grove" to "Sanctum of Malacath".[/]

  []Added a separate quest route in which the player can actually banish the ghosts, if they know the "Bane of the Undead" spell. This part leads to a different ending with Yamarz still alive and a different reward then Volendrung.[/]

  Here's a video of the quest expansion:

  Note: All of dialogue was either restored from cut content, or spliced from existing dialogue. None of the dialogue in this mod was generated through AI.

  Restored conten(x)t

  In the Vanilla quest a lot of context regarding the Yamarz' curse was cut. Yamarz basically says: "I'm cursed, m'kay!" without any context as to what the curse does or how it happened.

  Also, if you're looking at Shagrol's Warhammer and you'd think: "Who the heck is Shagrol?" you are in fact experiencing more of the cut context.

  So, here's everything that we know, that was cut and I attempted to restore:

  Shagrol was the chief before Yamarz. Yamarz killed him in combat, and became the new chief. It's quietly implied that Yamarz cheated in this battle. As such, Shagrol, through Malacath, cursed him.

  Now Yamarz is haunted by ghosts and cannot get any rest. As such he is weakened, and in turn the tribe is weakened. Nearby Giants sense this weakness and attack the Stronghold.

  There was also another shrine of Malacath (not at Giant's Grove) at which the player would communicate to Malacat
