MK04 The Mead of Heroes [Tristior]

Post by Tristior »

Tar-Jeel, the Argonian brewer in Markarth Side, has seen great success with his range of meads and believes it is time to expand. Even the Companions at Hrafnir Meadhall drink his product. He asks the player to travel to Dragonstar East and negotiate a contract with Ildgar at the Alehouse there.

Unless the player has completed Illness in the Alehouse, Ildgar will be distracted and refuse to countenance buying mead until his ale problem is resolved. This provides an alternative on-ramp to the quest, with maybe some tweaks to the dialogue as a result.

Once they do complete it, or if they have already completed it, Ildgar will listen to Tar-Jeel’s proposal but still be reticent. He’s not racist, you understand, he just thinks that only Nords truly understand the art of brewing mead and that it’s best left to them. The player can accept this, for no reward (and maybe a disposition hit from Tar-Jeel for listening to this nonsense), or can mention that the Companions of Ysgramor drink the mead happily.

Ildgar’s interest is piqued by the mention of these great heroes but he remains sceptical. He refuses to sign a contract without a recommendation from the Companions themselves. The player can once again end the quest here for no reward by talking to Tar-Jeel and giving up, or can travel to Hrafnir Meadhall and try talking to the Companions there. They won’t be forthcoming, but will direct the player downstairs to their number one (over-)drinker, Rugid Mead-Bucket.

Rugid may need to be coaxed from her hangover, but she will provide the recommendation. Once the player delivers it to Ildgar, he will become overjoyed at the prospect of selling the “Mead of Heroes” and accepts the contract with Tar-Jeel. The next time the player enters his Alehouse, Rugid’s recommendation will be displayed next to the bar. All that remains is to return to Tar-Jeel and claim the commission.

Ready for review.

Suggest removing the veig bottle that's next to Rugid Mead-Bucket, so that her request for more booze makes sense.

- Added GetDisabled check to script Sky_qRe_MK04_Letter_sc to prevent enable/disable firing every frame
- Made script Sky_qRe_DSE_Ildgar_sc slightly more efficient by combining checks
- Removed "Dead Sky_qRe_DSE_Ildgar" check from Tar-Jeel's Greeting 5 entry since they should only be used in topics. The Dead check is handled by the first entry in "mead supplier" anyway
- Added missing "Player->RemoveItem Sky_qRe_MK04_ContractSign 1" dialogue result which was leading to unfinished "mead supplier" dialogue after quest completion
- Added strongmead reward
- Added Greeting 5 entries for Tar-Jeel for mid- and post-quest
- Made some emotive messagebox choices more consistent by adding brackets
- Replaced character ’ with '
- Replaced character “ with "

Merged
