Quest Coincidence[edit]

Morrowind:Exterminator (Fighters)

I don't usually do the quests out of sequence, so I never noticed this before. My last playthrough (which I just restarted due to mod problems), I did the Mage Guild first, remembering to pick up the four mushrooms. every sucessive quest after that I didn't leave, up until I needed the flowers. I then went to kill the rats, and lo and behold, in a sack upstairs were four flowers, one of each that's needed.

It seems too perfect to be random, but could someone verify? I'm going to have a go at it tonight with a new character, but I'm not planning to make a direct run to Balmora, so it might take me a few days. (After which hopefully I won't forget to note it down here.)

(Sorry if my formatting is terrible, this is like the first or second time I've contributed to any wiki, ever.)

I believe this will turn out to be random, but I'll check later on. –RpehTCE 10:33, 2 June 2008 (EDT)
There are only 4 containers in this room whose contents are not completely random. Three contain nothing but pillows, and one contains some ingredients, but it's Saltrice, Rat Meat, and Marshmerrow, none of the flowers you need. The sacks upstairs contain random ingredients, but not of the type you'd need, they're pulling from random_de_cheapfood_01_nc and random_de_cheapfood_01_ne, which contain only food items. There's only one container in the room that could possibly have contained those flowers, and it's the barrel, which contains 20 of the random_ingredient list. (Which has a 60% chance of producing nothing, which explains why there weren't 20 items in the barrel.) So my diagnosis is you just got very lucky on that one. The odds of that occurring again are probably slim to none. I'm removing the comment from the article. --TheRealLurlock Talk 11:54, 2 June 2008 (EDT)
