The Morrowind NPC Redesign Project is intended to update and improve the contents of the pages of NPCs in Morrowind.

In particular, the project will add consistent sections for:

Quest Involvement
A short summary of the quests the character is involved in.
Services
What does the character offer and are there any special requirements to receive them?
Personal Inventory
What items does the character hold? Are they leveled or fixed?
House Contents
What items can be found in the character's house (where applicable) that are of particular note?
Unique Dialogue
Does the character have anything special to say? When? Only when they like the character? Other times?
Rumors
Do other characters have things to say about this one? When?
Spells
Does the NPC use any spells?
Other
Is there anything else that needs mentioning?

Quest Involvement[edit]

While most information about quests should remain on the specific quest pages, a short summary (one or two lines) about the character's involvement is desirable. Instead of a generic note, this information should be integrated into the character's description. No note is needed if a character is not involved in any quest (i.e. no "He/She is not involved in any quests.").

Services[edit]

These are almost all mentioned on the NPC pages already but need to mention any other requirements: are services only offered to faction members, or does the player need a certain disposition? No note is needed if a NPC does not offer any services (i.e. no "He/She does not offer any services.").

Personal Inventory[edit]

Discretion is useful here. If an NPC only carries a few items, they can all be mentioned. If they carry a large number of items, only list the important items.

House Content[edit]

Largely the same as the personal inventory. Also needs to include details of who owns items where applicable.

Unique Dialogue[edit]

Many NPCs have at least one unusual line of dialogue. This section needs to identify the ones that stand out and need reporting. Some data for this can be auto-generated for this section but will need substantial interpretation - is a given line important even if unique, for instance? Is a line shared by several NPCs still worthy of mention? No note is needed if a NPC does not have any unique dialogue (i.e. no "He/She does not offer any unique information.").

Rumors[edit]

NPCs in Morrowind will sometimes mention each other, whether it be praising skill or making snide remarks. Who says what about whom and when? When using the Construction Set, rumors can be a bit tricky to find. You can use the Find Text function of the CS, and search for the name (or title) of the NPC in question (be aware that names sometimes are misspelled). Don't forget to check NPCs that have a direct relation to the NPC in question, instead of the name they might refer to "my husband" (e.g.) in dialogue.

Bugs[edit]

Any problems with the NPC's scripting.
