Morrowind Rebirth [Main]

Morrowind Fixes

* Fixed an issue where Saruse Hloran in Vivec, Redoran Plaza, had 20 Chitin Shortbows, and 1 Chitin Arrow. Probably should have been be the other way around.
* Fixed an issue where it was illegal to rest in the bed inside Sethan's Tradehouse, even though you've rented it.

Morrowind Rebirth Fixes

* Fixed an issue where the master trainer for sneak, Ri'Shajirr, was replaced by a custom NPC with the same name but with a different ID. This caused issues especially for players that used LGNPC Secret Masters.
* Fixed an issue where several traders added by Morrowind Rebirth were set as the wrong trader class. This made them indiffrent to contraband such as moon sugar and skooma, and screwed up their list of topics.
* Fixed an issue where Trebonius would T-pose in OpenMW due to some issues with his robe. This is a temporary fix, since the fix also introduces some visible gaps in the sleeves.
* Fixed issues where the texture paths for the Draugr Berserker and Draugr Deathlord were wrong. Additionally added some textures that were missing from the archive.
* Fixed an issue where four wooden staffs inside The Scribbled Scroll, Balmora, would bleed into the counter instead of hanging on the hooks above.
* Fixed the 'destination' topic descriptons for all Gondoliers' in Vivec. They were no longer accurate due to the changes made in Rebirth.
* Fixed an issue where you'd get only 1 arrow or bolt when looting urns. Additionally urns are less likely to hold arrows and bolts.
* Fixed an issue where the Swamp Troll had badly rigged vertices, which resulted in artifacts when it was moving and attacking.
* Fixed an issue where one Ashlander Shield icon was not working correctly due to being saved in the wrong format.
* Fixed the 'specific place' topic for Ebonheart. It was no longer accurate due to the changes made in Rebirth.
* Fixed the 'specific place' topic for Suran. It was no longer accurate due to the changes made in Rebirth.
* Fixed an issue where the Voidwalker Boots would float in the air when trying to place them on the ground.
* Fixed an issue where the Chitin Throwing Knife was floating slightly above the players hand.
* Fixed the 'Argonian Mission' topic. It was no longer accurate due to the changes made in Rebirth.

* Fixed an issue where Ajira offered training way beyond what she was supposed to.
* Fixed an issue where the Centurion Overlord was too large to fit through doorways.
* Fixed issues inside Bthusal where you could see through walls and into the worldspace.
* Fixed an issue where you couldn't enter the first floor to the The Razor Hole in Balmora due to an attached script.

Morrowind Rebirth Changes

* If your disposition sinks below 15 towards an NPC and you fail to bribe, admire, taunt or intimidate, the NPC will now force a goodbye. Previously you could just keep on clicking, without a proper response.
* The hunger inside Sarano Ancestral Tomb is now hostile by nature. This will prevent issues where it would be difficult to locate it due to being almost invisible when not in an aggressive state.
* The base cost of pre-made spells now have the same cost as if they were autocalculated, meaning they won't be cheaper or more expensive than identical spells that you make yourself.
* Added more varities of the regular dremora. Now they won't always equip a Bound Spear, but also Bound Dagger, Bound Longsword, Bound Mace and Bound Battleaxe.
* The Imperial Chapels interior in Ebonheart now somewhat matches the exterior. Previously the interior space was MUCH larger than the exterior building.
* Reduced the amount of light emitted from Storm, Frost and Earth-Atronachs. Fire Atronarchs are unchanged due to the nature of their element.

Morrowind Rebirth Additions

* Minor cosmetic changes in Suran.

Gnisis Overhaul
* A rather major visual overhaul of the mining town of Gnisis. While this overhaul doesn't add much in terms of "new stuff" it completely changes the landscape in and surrounding Gnisis.

Seyda Neen Overhaul
* A somewhat major overhaul of Seyda Neen, making it feel more like a fishing village/port. This overhaul also includes a new headquarters for the coast guard (mentioned in vanilla dialogue), which also serves as the barracks for the Imperial Legionaries stationed in Seyda Neen. As a bonus performance should be better, too.

New Magic Armor
* Velothian Tower Shield
* Velothi's Tower Shield

New Artifacts/Uniques
* St. Meris Shield of Serenity

New Ingredient
* White Guar Hide

Balance

Spells (general)

- Sound is quite a powerful effect, and costly at that. The changes to duration (30 seconds made it too costly tbh), coupled with the base cost change should make sound-spells like Noise worth using.
