A cheerful ghost near feygard

Post by Twilit140 »

The whole situation regarding Wrye and Rincel is immensely depressing to me. So i got this idea after seeing the lively and talkative ghosts in the bogsten cave.

Once Uncertain cause and the delivery mission are completed the player could stumble upon a rumor on the road to feygard about a spooky ghost. They would search the outskirts beyond the city walls. Close enough to be within sight of the city but not too close incase the player is correct a shadow worshiper.

They'd search until they stumbled upon the cheerful spirit of Rincel, happily singing a feygard folk song before the player confronts him. They'd question him on his travels and would learn that he eventually reached the city after "waking up" from the attack. The player would break the news to him that he has passed and would urge him to return home to give his mom true closure. Only to be met with a face of fear as Rincel is terrified of the potential wrath he believes his mother would incur upon him if he'd show his face again.

The player would have to gather either a letter, a written song or something else that would convince Rincel that his mother isn't angry at all and simply wants to see her baby boy again. Once the player has their evidence they would travel back to the wandering ghost and finally convince him to return home.

The quest would complete after the player enters Wrye's home and sees the two preforming a song together.

Why near Feygard? Wyre is a Shadow worshiper, so Rincel being one too makes sense.

Huh? Rincel died trying to make his way to "The glorious city of feygard." His journey and life was cut short sadly. He was outright terrified of telling his mother about his dream to see feygard.

Goes to show you how long it's been since I've played that quest.

Are you willing to refine your ideas and write up the quest?

Yes,a nice plot, I like it too. 8-)

Write down the dialoges in e.g. notepad or Excel.
Also the quest steps.
And maybe the complete song text of Wrye. (That could be the item description of the parchment that Wrye sends to convinve her son to come back.)

That would be great. After that is done we think about how to add it into our content editor ATCS.

(Don't start with installing ATCS, that would kill your creativity :D The dialogue can be tranfered easily via copy+paate into ATCS later)
