Donating Excess Wealth- Is there such a mod?
      #2913559 - 08/10/04 08:43 PM

Please excuse me if this is in the wrong forum, I'm new here.

In a relatively short amount of time my character has accumulated an excessive amount of money and this feels unbalancing. Is there a mod that allows the player to donate money to a worthy cause? Like the Temple or Imperial Cult so it can be used to help the poor?

Thanks in Advance

Seems reasonable but no I have not heard of one. But what about the evil characters? If there was a mod like this there would need to be an option to extort money from the Temple or Imperial Cult.

"Alright Synnolian Tunifus, pay up or the world will hear of your misappropriation of muck sponge!"

Lol....my character isn't evil but that idea sounds very interesting indeed.

scifiguy52-
Thank you I shall look into the three mods you suggested. Although I was hoping to find something that would allow me to remain a freelancer, rather than be tied down to a business of some kind at this time. Perhaps one of those will come in handy later on when my character gets ready to settle down (she currently has commitment issues).

Thank you both for the help.

Would it be possible to make a mod that raises your reputation if you donate money? Say 1 pt for every 10k?

You could do that quite easily.

It's possible. I think that the amount of money shouldn't be the only criteria for increasing reputation. I think that the reputation increase should depend on how many times and how often you have donated money. This way you could get reputation increases on lower levels if you donate small sums often and on higher levels you'll have to donate larger sums (well, they expect you to get more richer while you adventure) as often to get the same increase. I think that the reputation increases should follow a logarithmic curve (or is it hyperbolic curve...?) since at some point everybody already knows about you and after that it should be very hard to gain any reputation increases anymore.

Thats a better idea, you could run it off the player's level and reputation so they higher they are the harder it is until it becomes impossible.

This is an excellent idea. Generosity, being a benefactor to a religion would be a superb way to introduce a money sink into the game. A small mod, easily doable. And with reputation benefits. Reputation is one of the factors that determines what merchants charge the PC, higher reps get lower prices on goods they buy and better maximum prices on goods they sell. Ironic in a way, the more you give away the easier it would become to become richer.

Interesting idea tying the donation of money to the players reputation points. Money is so easy to come by in this game I would hope you would have to make a sizable donation (or frequent donations) before you could enjoy a reputation increase.

I'm totally lost when it comes to the construction set so would someone enlighten me as to how this would be implemented? Would you make donations to a new NPC or maybe a shrine? When I first started thinking about this was after meeting Mehra Helas outside the Temple in Mournhold. She asks you if you'd like to give 5 gold to the Temple in exchange for a blessing...I just thought it would be nice if I could give much more anytime I liked.

If this would be fairly easy to do would someone be so kind as to create this mod in their spare time?

On my list of things to do is a Better Cult mod, which will add perks to rising in the ranks of the Imperial Cult. One thing I'd already planned was a script on the donation bowl in the Ebonheart building. Every time you leave the building, you should make a donation in the bowl. An added script will compare your donation to your total gold and modify things from there. So if you have 80,000 gold and donate 500 nobody's going to thank you, but if you have 80 and donate 70 you'll be a star. Of course, you could just drop some gold at your feet and then donate but hell, if you want to exploit Morrowind there's enough ways already. The person that does that won't want an roleplaying-style mod anyway.

It could be done through new NPC's and new dialogue. Or through existing NPC's with added dialogue. If one wanted to also add the tithing concept, that would take some scripting.
In the TESCS help forum there are links to Ghan-Buri-Ghan's most excellent scripting manual now in its 8th edition and covering a lot more than just scripting, and to tutorials on how to create dialogues and quests and other interesting things.

Would your donation bowl only be accessible by members of the Imperial Cult? Or could anyone use it?

I spent some time looking over the scripting manual, it's quite well written and provides great detail. Thank you for the reference. I'm still terrified of the construction set unfortunately, but after reading thru that guide I was at least able to understand some basics of what I was looking at.

I had a character who liked to give donations to the Temple and Imperial Cult from time to time and what she would do is just leave the piles of gold on and in front of the various altars. (I got the idea from seeing the piles of coins in the bowls on the Imperial Cult altars.) Also, she would leave items there as well, so that after a while, the area really did look very much like some sort of shrine.

Another thing you could do until and if an actual donation mod is made is you could pay more gold (lots more) for various items when purchasing from the Temple or Imperial Cult. You could pay for a potion of Cure Blight Disease, but instead of giving the normal 20 gold (or whatever it is), give 5000 gold. They will be more than happy to take your money in this way.
