Locked Doors and Knocking - Skingrad v1.01 for Oblivion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fixes/changes in version 1.01:
- corrected a mistake that made certain doors knockable which weren't won't supposed to be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skingrad citizens do not like strangers entering their homes. This mod makes most private residence doors in Skingrad locked 24 hours per day, whether the homeowner is home or not.
Using this mod:
To knock, activate the chosen residence door. A menu box will pop up, asking you what you want to do. The choices are 'Knock', 'Pick Lock', or 'Done' (cancel). If you chooses to knock, you will hear the knocking sound on the door. If the NPC is home, they will answer the door in about 10 seconds or so. Upon answering, they will step outside to talk to the player. The door will remain locked. They will stand to the left of their door, and wait for a little while. If you walk away, they will re-enter their house again. If the NPC homeowner is sleeping when you knock on the door, the NPC will lose 25 disposition towards you for waking them up.
If you decide to pick the lock instead, you will be trespassing upon entering. There will be no trespass warning. It is an automatic crime if you are caught. You may even be attacked on sight. Think carefully before breaking into people's homes!
I made this mod because I always thought it was ridiculous that the player could just walk into people's homes, and the owner didn't care. Hopefully this mod will make game play a little bit more realistic and challenging.
As far as I know, this mod is the first of it's kind for Oblivion. I released this Skingrad version first. I am only releasing one city at a time because this project is such a massive undertaking for me. There will be other cities released in the near future. In later versions I may also make some vendor's doors knockable at night when locked so the player will be able to talk with them, but the shopkeeper may not be so happy about being woken up!
*This mod should not interfere with game quests. You will still be able to talk to everyone you need to by knocking on their doors.*
*This mod may or may not be compatible with other mods that change doors. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK*
*More cities to come*
