I'm the official lore writer for the Black Marsh modding team!

Seeing as there are Oblivion fans here I thought I would mention it.

Mods have lore with them?

Yes, most game addons have to do with new weapons or graphics updates. I am not seeing lore to have anything to do with it.

Maybe it's a Total Conversion?

Congratulations.

What's a "lore writer"?
I never played Oblivion so don't know if "lore" has some Oblivion jargon meaning.

Does it mean you write the books you find laying around like in Daggerfall?

Blackguard: Thanks! Yes. I write the documents and then they get used for books, questline and mod description, etc.


TerraSin:no, not a total conversion. This is a mod creating an additional worldspace, and the province of Black Marsh doesn't have much info on it in Oblivion itself so I have to go on Imperial Library, get some notes and write these in a format suitable for questlines and books or scrolls found in the game. I used to play Kvatch Rebuilt and big mods need lore.

Thanks MacArthur.

If anyone wants to know more about this work in progress, send me an e-mail. Especially if you want to help, so I can refer you to the guy who's in charge of this project.

Blaze - that is amazing!! I have several friends who play Oblivion, and they talk about the books being one of the highlights of the game.

Thanks Tariel!

I love writing, and to be able to do so in a mod for my favorite game, is just...........wow.

 

[Karouani]

[.Sabre.]

Yeah.......it is rather.

Congrats! That's a very important role you're playing on the team.

Ken Levine gave an interesting speech at GDC this year. Thought you might want to read about it.

Awesome! Congrats!!!

Once my finals are over, I really want to get back into playing those games. I haven't had nearly enough time to do so.

 

[kaizer1784]

That's awesome!!! Congratulations

I really like Oblivion (haven't got lots of time to play lately though) and I'll be waiting for your mods

 

[frenzy]

Freakin' sweet!

Thanks everyone. I've also got another mod in the works, but that's top secret till done.
