Rather than risk derailing a roleplay planning thread, I'm going to open a thread for those amusing things we see NPCs do in our game. I'm still replaying Aeronwen's early levels, and at this time she's still renting a room at the Halfway in Pelagiad. After having hunted for mud crabs and sold the meat to an agent that's added by the CM Minor Quests mod, Aeronwen went down to the water behind Pelagiad and began fishing. After she caught several fish, she built a campfire and started cooking them. A thug from the MCA mod had spawned on the road near the fork in the road by Pelagiad that leads to Seyda Neen. The thug noticed Aeronwen and came running down the bank with his weapon drawn and jumped into the lake intending to attack her when swam to the other side. Unfortunately for the thug, there was a collision issue which caused his feet to catch on some rocks at the bottom of the lake. Not having any water breathing potions, the thug drowned himself. It was quite inconsiderate of him to die to down there. That part of the lake was Aeronwen's favorite fishing and swimming spot. Now that thug s'wit has contaminated the water!  And of course from time to time I see Imperial Legion guards screaming and running away like a bunch of little girls whenever a hostile creature enters a town. I have NEVER seen the Hlaalu, Redoran, or Telvanni guards do that. Just the Imperial Legion guards. |

Most NPCs apparently can see right through all of my clothes. 
They can't see through armour, however.  |

I cured a naked nord of his paralysis - and he immediately turned away from me even before giving me the Icecap. I crouched down and tried to reverse-pickpocket him some trousers, but when I couldn't, I console-cheated them onto him. At that point in time, he decided to turn back around.
Edit:
I wish there were a mod to give trousers to naked nords via dialogue:
1) alter the dialogue of each of the 3 vanilla naked nords, so that they say the word 'modesty.' This word becomes a topic.
2) the topic 'modesty' has a script that looks for trousers in your character's inv and if they are found, the nord asks something like, "Are these really for me?" 'Yes' and 'No' are possible responses. 'Yes' removes trousers and adds the same trousers to the nord. 'No' gives the naked nord a -5 disposition toward you. If no trousers are available in your inv, the nord says something like, 'Just don't look.' It is only accessible as a topic by the 3 vanilla naked nords.
3) there is no reward for this. Fewer naked nords is its own reward.

A number of years ago Princess Stomper created a mod that allows the player to give trousers or robes to naked NPCs. Unfortunately I have no idea where or if this mod can still be found. I'll take a look at the Morrowind Modding History site. I used to have that mod installed and it worked perfectly, but I seemed to have lost it when I upgraded from my old computer to the one I have now.  Hopefully that mod is still around. It was a good one to have. And it worked the way you describe; through dialog. You didn't have to have the trousers or robe on you. The dialog created the clothing on the NPC. |

Well, the trousers came from somewhere!

Talking about Khajiits in one of the other threads made me remember a brief game that I started shortly after I first started playing Morrowind (over a decade ago), and before the character of Aeronwen was ever conceived of. Westly had just released his Khajiit Diversity Revamped mod and I thought the female Dagi-Rahts were so pretty that I installed it and created a mage/thief Dagi-Raht who joined the Mages Guild and the Thieves Guild. For the life of me I can't remember the name I gave her. Anyway, besides being a different race, this character was quite different from Aeronwen. She had no problems with stealing things, especially if they were items she needed. Now for the mental roleplay with her that I just remembered; My Dagi-Raht was on the mushroom gathering quest for the Mages Guild. As she was prowling along through the Bitter Coast, she met a male Khajiit monk companion NPC who was added by either the CM_Partners mod or MCA. After sharing some lumps of moonsugar with him, my mage persuaded the monk to join her on her journey. The pair of Khajiits went further along into the Bitter Coast. After consuming a few more lumps of moonsugar, the Khajiit monk was persuaded to remove his monk robes and throw them away. He and my Dagi-Raht then mated, making all sorts of shrill noises in the process which were no doubt heard all the way to Balmora. At that point the male Khajiit decided to forego being a monk, and instead turned to a bumbling life of crime. Rumor has it that he and his male Breton pal have done time in every prison on Vvardenfell.  |

Agreed. I need to reinstall that mod and recreate that character.  |

I love it! lol
btw, as long as I was in playtest mode for the new guy's mod, I had an idea. LM, where would I look for that mod where Dagoth Ur has an Aeronwen NPC beside him?
Edit: what I want is an Aeronwen companion for making some screenshots of her with Dogg. I figure some Sheogorath shrines would make good places. I'm trying to dress Dogg in green, for complementary contrast between her and Aeronwen's red theme. NO this is not for any RP. I am hoping it gives some ideas in that direction, but mostly I'm trying my hand at notverbal art. Not easy for me!

There is no such mod. At least I never made one. If someone else did, I don't know about it.

Huh. I thought I read somewhere that someone wanted one because Aeronwen as Lady Dagoth had become that much canon for their games? Was a long time ago; I thought the mod got made. Might not have been by you, but I did think you knew about it. If it were made.

Yeah, it was a comment on the old journal from way back in like 2013 or so. It was just a personal mod though.

I do recall someone saying something about that in the comments of my old journal, but that's as far as it went.

Oh my word I just decided to try to see if MGE XE would work for me since I now have a different video card, and it works! The game now looks even more amazing. The tall grasses that are added by the grass mod now move when Aeronwen walks through them. And the viewing distance...Aeronwen can now see portions of the Ghostfence when she's strolling through Ald'ruhn. Or almost anywhere in the Ashlands for that matter. And when she stands on the hill behind Skar (where the dead cliff racer is located for the PAX Redoran Prototype Red quest, she can see the top portion of the Daedric ruins that become her House Dagoth citadel). This calls for an official new play through of the Main/GHD questline. |
