[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 5.6 news

Hey guys! It's been quite a while since the last update, which generally means that I've been super busy cooking up something cool for you to enjoy. This time around I've mainly been focusing on fixes and polishing, with a slew of additions and other miscellaneous changes. It's a pretty comprehensive update, which I hope you'll like. Have fun!

Morrowind Fixes

* Reverted the following "Fixed an issue where Assimusa Samsi would appear at the location of Indarys Manor before it is being built.", as it would cause issues with the stronhold progression.

Morrowind Rebirth Fixes

* Fixed an issue where the modified health of the The Good Beast caused issues with the script attached to the creature, rendering parts of the quest involving The Good Beast unsolvable.
* Fixed an issue where Medila Indaren didn't have her Weakness to Common Disease spell available for sale (Made it unecessarily difficult to
become a Vampire). For real this time.. the fix was supposed to go out with the 5.1 update.
* Fixed an issue where the enchantment for the Summoner's Robe was set to Fortify Conjuration 60 points of 20 seconds instead of 20 points for 60 seconds.
* Fixed an issue where Salyni Rothren and Elms Hloran inside the Ald'Ruhn Guild of Mages wasn't disabled during the quest "Loot the Mages Guild".
* Fixed an issue where you could fall through the platform just outside Dagoth Ur, Outer Facility, entrance (for real this time).
* Fixed an issue where the door to Dralas Gilu's House, Pelagiad, teleported the player to Angus House (also in Pelagiad).
* Fixed an issue where bubble particles didn't render properly when using OpenMW (Thanks to 'JaceX' for the fix).
* Fixed an issue where the weapon 'Nightbane' used the same model as 'Magebane'. Nightbane now has its own model.
* Fixed an issue where the key "Key to Valenren Chest" was mislabled and should be "Key to Valenren Vaults".
* Fixed an issue (potential issue) where Damage Health was not available for enchanting and spellmaking.
* Fixed an issue where you could see through parts of the ground model of the Ebony Cuirass.
* Fixed an issue where part of Stormforge's enchantment was set to self instead of on touch.
* Fixed an issue where the left and right Silver Bracers had different durability values.
* Fixed issues where "drowned corpses" were placed in areas were no water was present.
* Fixed issues with geometry inside the Dwemer ruin Bthusal.
* Fixed pathgrid issues.
* Fixed typos.

Morrowind Rebirth Changes

* Drastic changes to the offerings of various traders. Many containers owned by traders that had a static selection of weapons and armor are now randomized (Gear such as Dwemer, Indoril, Ebony etc won't be included in the drop lists), meaning that every playthrough a trader will have something different to offer. This also includes a chance that they will offer one or a few pieces of enchanted gear or better (although the latter is VERY rare). I've also made some manual edits to some traders, so that they will make your visit worthwhile. My hope is that these changes combined will make the game a bit less static, and give the player a reason to visit each and every trader. Consider this a work in progress, with more variety added by each update.
* The estate agent in Ebonheart will now let you know which properties he has available and how much they cost, even though you can't afford them.
* Drastically increased the duration of carriable lightsources such as torches or lanterns, ranging from 10 to 30 minutes.
* Tons of pathgrid improvements, including adding basic pathgrids for many roads all over the island [WIP]
* Apelles Matius should no longer walk around across Ebonheart, but stay close to the battlements.
* Replaced all generic lamps inside Daedric ruins with Daedric-looking lamps.
* Divayth Fyr will no longer react if you successfully obtain his artifacts.
* The Dark Brotherhood should now only attack you once (when you hit lvl 15).
* NPCs in Khuul will no longer mention that Thongar has beds for rent.
* Galbedir now trains enchanting instead of unarmored. It made little sense for here NOT to offer training in enchanting since she's an enchanter.
* Ajira now trains alteration instead of enchanting.
* Added more ingredients to some flora containers, especially those that have several flowers/leaves/berries etc
* Added a proper interior to the 'vacant house' in Ebonheart.
* Added more detailing to ashmires.
* Mount Assarnibibi is now more mountainous.
* Landscape fixes and improvements.
* Expanded or added more detail to the following interiors:
- Vivec Entrance, Bernadette's Imports
- Vivec, Miun-Gei's Store/Home
- Hla Oad, Fadila Balvel's House
- Hla Oad, Marundius Flaeus's House
- Hla Oad, Okur's House

Dwemer Ruin Changes
* Replaced the minecart tracks inside Bthusal with unique models (previous ones where just retextured wooded tracks). Also added fitting minecarts.
* Reworked several Dwemer ruin exteriors with new Dwemer assets. This is still a work in progress.
* Added animated Dwemer fans to all Dwemer ruin interiors.

Ebonheart Changes
* Many smaller changes like new signs, new market stands and clutter.

Ald'ruhn Changes
* Reworked the area near the Ald Skar Inn, turning the cramped one-way street into a proper road leading towards the silt strider ramp and main entrance.
* Reworked the area near the player home 'Arwin', making it less disconnected from the rest of the city.
* Reworked the settled area near the Temple.
* Added more clutter here and there.

Dagon Fel Changes
* The open guardtower has been reverted to the old closed tower.
* Some shacks have been replaced with houses.
* Added a new alchemist.
* Reworked the docks (again).
* Other minor changes here and there.

Sheogorath Region Changes
* Replaced the regular Emperor Parasols (the large white/brown mushrooms found all over the island) with new ones, to give the region a unique feel. These changes spill over to a small part
of Azura's Coast as well, since some areas of this region is located very close to the Sheogorath coast.

Balance

Weapons
* Throwing knifes are no longer inferior in almost every way to other throwing weapons such as throwing stars.
* Increased the enchantment capacity of all throwing weapons.
* Erur-Dan the Wise's Spear now has a unique enchantment.

Creatures
* Liches will now Drain Health instead of causing Poison Damage. Many races of Tamriel are rather resistant to Poison Damage, making these spells uneffectful.
* Voriplasm health regeneration from 10 health a second to 2 health a second.
* Toned down the regenerate health ability for many creatures.
* Greater Bonewalker speed from 20 to 25.
* Bonewalker speed from 20 to 25.

* Staada health from 500 to 450.

Misc
* Practice dummies and practice targets are no longer affected by a large range of effects such as drain health, paralysis and poison damage, to name a few. While they are technically set up as a "creature", they should not work the same way. Additionally their health were brought down to bring a little balance between simply attacking a dummy and doing some real combat. The original idea was to include them as a fun mechanic, and not as a proper way get easy training.
* Practice Target health from 2000 to 500.
* Practice Dummy health from 2000 to 500.
* Reduced the attack radius of diseased and blighted creatures, making them less likely to attack you from really far away.
