***************************************************************** The Elder Scrolls III MORROWIND: By Cookie16,Ashstaar and yuredew *********************************************************************** WHAT IT DOES Adds 333 new splash screens with quotes similar to the ones in Skyrim ***************************************************************** Index: 1. Description 2. Installation 3. Known Issues 4. Version History 5. Credits 6. Permissions ********************************************************************** 1. DESCRIPTION ***************************************************************** Cookie16 and Ashstaar made amazing splash screens the only thing I thought that could be improved upon was having quotes like in Skyrim or Oblivion So since cookie16 retired from modding and gave me permission I tried to add diverse quotes some from lore like in-game books some from uespwiki but there were still alot of Splash screens left So I also added quotes from stoic philosophers,Sun Tzu,Aristotle,Ovid, Machiavelli quotes that I think fit within the world of the Elderscrolls. I also added some jokes and one-liners from famous comedians like Demetri Martin,Dylan Moran,Bill Bailey,Steven Wright,Mitch Hedburg since we all need a good chuckle now and then In all my quotes I tried to stay true to lore so nothing about cars or toilet humor or adult only language I also found a forum page http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/113120/eso-joke-of-the-day with lore frendly jokes and included some of them for example: An Orc walks into a bar in Cyrodiil with an ugly, one eyed, mangled parrot on his shoulder. The barkeeper looks up, jumps back, and proclaims, 'What an ugly thing. Where did you get it?" The parrot responded, "Orsinium. They are all over the place." For the Splash Screens made By Cookie16,Ashstaar without the quotes go to http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43026/ For my quotes without the awesome splashscreens go to http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43388/ In case you were wondering why I didn't include the authors of the quotes I did it for immersion I didn't want people to say ok I am playing a mod that was not originally intended by Bethesda I wanted the quotes themselves to blend in together with the lore of the Elder scrolls and make it seem a s they are part of that world itself since alot of books from the Elder scrolls themsevles are inspired from real life writers for example:The Art of War magic was inspired by the Art of War by Sun Tzu. As far as humor goes there are mainly one-liners in the style of the book Humor of The Wood elves. It is not my intention to take away anyting from the original writers themselves I make no claim to have written any of these lines and if someone is very interested about who wrote this joke or say that phrase GREAT they can always use google as they are very common plus this way the reader can also learn more about the author. ***************************************************************** 2. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN ***************************************************************** Just copy the contents of Splash folder into Morrowind/Data Files/Splash folder Uninstalling certain sections I admit I was a bit slopy here and I also wanted to make it easy to install my mod over cookiemonsters16's mod or if you didn't like my quotes installing his over mine.It didn't occur to me might just want a certain section. Lore section(strictly cannon lore) Don' know why people might want to uninstall this but simply delete theese numbered Splash screens 1 2 4 5 7 9 11-13 15-24 26 28-34 36 37 54 153-160 163-174 228 Philosophy section I selected mostly stoic philosophers who complement well with the imperial and dunmer lore but if you want to uninstall simply delete theese numbered Splash screens 3 6 8 10 14 25 27 35 40-45 47 49-52 55-58 62-66 69 70 79 81-92 100-112 114-116 120 121 161 162 176-190 192-203 205 249-300 313-321 322-326,333 Jokes also included non-canon nord and orc jokes since there are taken from forums and not lore books simply delete theese numbered Splash screens 46 48 53 59-61 67 68 71-78 93-99 113 117-119 122-152 191 204 206-227 229-248 300-312 327-332 ***************************************************************** 3.
