TR folks are always looking for new members to keep the project going. If you're interested in making content for Tamriel Rebuilt, people in the Discord will be happy to help you along! Tamriel Rebuilt Discord: discord.gg/9T6TtNU Website: www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/ Get the mod here: www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42145 Don't worry about if you'll be able to contribute: the Construction Set is very easy to learn and use. The most difficult hurdle for most people is getting started.

[@jlaw131985]

I might actually do that. I’m actually a software engineer that had wanted to do game dev before I figured out how terrible the industry is, so I hope I can contribute.

Thanks for another great video. I love this Morrowind series. And you're spot-on about the Construction Set, because even young, dumb teenage me could get it to work...although I initially took ages to manually line up room pieces because I didn't know how to snap them together. :I Minor nitpick(s): Dreugh is pronounced "Dreg" by NPCs in ESO and Oblivion, while chitin is "Kai-tin".

i wanna kno more about sload, who wrote a ton of lore for TR, including their main lore guidelines. seems engmatic. also ladynerevar, who has been in TES lore communities for ages and is a librarian on the imperial library, used to work on TR! i wanna know about that too. there's so many interesting, creative people working on these fan projects

[@averyzucco220]

Sload I have no idea. Haven't talked to him in ages. LadyN is now married to Michael Kirkbride.

[@hitomisalazar4073]

Well they do have a point in a way. There's been various research experiments looking into that. How creativity works and so forth. In general if you give someone a blank check: "You can do anything"... they tend not to. Their mind will fall into what they "know" are successful patterns. A+B worked last time so when given the guideline of "Anything" they go back to A+B more often than not. But if you suddenly tell them that their set up has to include C, D, and E in it... well it breaks them out of the auto complete style ruts. It might force them to look into topics that they never considered before. Or an attempt to simplify back to A+B needs to account for the new data and thus makes new connections. Basically if you tell someone: "Make an RPG" odds are you'll have an inferior product in terms of creative input than "Make a Morrowind RPG". And in video games we can see this play out as well. A good example of this ends up being Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2. A studio who doesn't like doing Black and White Morality is told to do an RPG based on a setting with Black and White Morality and a lot of hangups. Instead of ignoring it, they embraced both their own writing style and the lore existing to create something people do consider a fascinating and thought inspiring masterpiece of a story for that setting. Rather than a story they created that crowbarred in a Lightsaber.

[@schizosamurai8840]

Just the few screenshots of the silgrad tower mod tell you that yes, following lore closely is important indeed

[@eyoshinthemaximum]

Its ironic that Sillgrad Tower is now almost forgotten and TR is one of the most popular morrowind mods.

The Aimrah quest sequence seems like a pretty clear "A Shadow Over Innsmouth" HP Lovecraft reference. It all fits. The port town with unwelcoming people, the cult of fish worshippers, the nightmares, even the half-dreughs are a clear stand in for the deep one hybrids. The fact that what is essentially an unrelated story can be so seamlessly adapted to the Morrowind setting is a testament to high level of quality of the writing and environment design of the Tamriel Rebuilt team.

I can see where the forum user was coming from about changing lore. Playing a lot of tabletop games and reading through adventures and sourcebooks sometimes I would see the lore and think it was stupid or want to change it to make it better.
