[RELEASE] Morrowind Rebirth 6.3 news

Greetings friends. The time has come to unveil yet another update, and with that another massive amount of changes. Interior changes, landscape tweaks, graphical improvements and much more are included. As always please let me know if you run into issues or find bugs. Have fun!

Morrowind Fixes

* Fixed incorrect spell descriptions of Summon Centurion Sphere, Summon Skeletal Minion and Summon Greater Bonewalker. The first one was stated to come from Oblivion, when it doesn't, and the other two Oblivion instead of the Outer Realms.
* Fixed an issue where the leaves of the Golden Kanet ingredient wasn't properly attached to the stem. This will also affect the Roland's Tear ingredient model introduced by Rebirth.
* Fixed an issue where the Heather ingredient leaves were 'cut off' and had artifacts due to bad UV.
* Fixed an issue where the Bittergreen ingredient leaves were 'cut off' due to bad UV.

Morrowind Rebirth Fixes

* Fixed an issue where the Hlaalu quest 'Disguise' wouldn't work as intended in some situations, even if the player was wearing the Gah-Julan Bonemold Helm given by Nileno Dorvayn. Additionally the helm given to you has regained its vanilla name 'Native Gah-Julan Bonemold Helm'.
Fixed an issue where the prisoners inside Seyda Neen, Census and Excise Office had the topic 'murder of Processus Vitellius' available, which was somewhat immersion-breaking.
* Fixed an issue where the stairs leading up to Ald'Ruhn's Manor District wasn't properly connected to the building, leading to a huge gap between the two.
* Fixed an issue where Suran Slave Market had shop door scripts, meaning it would only be unlocked during the day. Now it's always unlocked (the private room excluded).
* Fixed an issue where Manat Varnan-Adda's House had shop door scripts, meaning his house would only be unlocked during the day. Now it's always locked.
* Fixed an issue where the doors to the South Wall Cornerclub, Balmora, was misplaced somewhat, so that you could see the worldspace beyond.
* Fixed an issue where the door from Seyda Outpost to the Ascadian Isles was misplaced and not attached to the doorframe.
* Fixed an issue where one variety of the large transport ships used the imperial styled sail, when they should have used the blank one.
* Fixed an issue where the spell Star-Curse for the Serpent birthsign had its paralyze effect set to self instead of on touch.
* Fixed an issue where Kirrsi, Vivec Arena, was not wearing his armor, meaning he would walk around completely naked.
* Fixed an issue where Imperial Guard Captains would refer to themselves as "Duke's Guards" in the background topic.
* Fixed an issue where it would be overly difficult to spot Fargoth during the quest "Fargoth's Hiding Place".
* Fixed an issue where a door to Dura gra-Bol's House, Balmora, teleported the player to the wrong location.
* Fixed an issue where a Buoyant Armiger, Dralas Indules, Molag Mar, wasn't marked as a Temple member.
* Fixed an issue where the large bridge near Suran had a piece of a wall bleeding through a pillar.

* Fixed an issue where the entrance to Nchuleft Ruin was blocked by a wall.
* Fixed an issue where "Meteor Slime" was renamed to "Scrib Jelly".

* Fixed an issue where the door to Shallit was mis-aligned.
* Hundreds of minor fixes such as floters, bleeding objects etc.

Morrowind Rebirth Changes

* Many NPCs like traders, pawnbrokers and booksellers had access to a ton of spells (sometimes more so than mages), which made little sense since they are often unskilled in casting them. Some are not even usuable for NPCs
such as Mark, Recall and Divine Intervention. Thus I decided to remove them all, unless the NPC offer spells for sale.
* Many spell casting classes have been given unique setup of spells, instead of having identical autocalculated setups. The end result is that spell casters will be much more varied. They will use spells that doesn't deplete their magicka pool in a few seconds, and some will have more options when low on magicka. As a side bonus most casters will no longer use summon spells, which was kinda wierd. Do note that this is still a work in progress due to the massive amount of NPCs I'm having to go through. In general the spell distrubution looks something like this:
- Mages: Mixed spells
- Battle Mages: Offensive spells such as Fire, Frost and Shock, but also some summon/bound weapon spells.
- Witch: Absorb/Drain spells and 'hexes' such as Silence, Blind, Sound.
- Nightblade: Chameleon, Sanctuary and Fortify spells.
- Necromancers: Summons (Undead), Poison and Drain spells.
- Sorcerer: Summons (Daedra), Bound Armor and Shielding spells [Still WIP].
- Witchhunter: Bound Weapons, Dispel, Reflect, Absorb and Drain Magicka spells.
- Spellsword: Restoration, Resistance and Elemental spells.
- Warlock: Summons (Daedra).
* Changes (both minor and major) to dozens of interiors, including for example The Rat in the Pot, Six Fishes, Ald Ruhn's Morag Tong Guild, Sadrith Mora's Morag Tong Guild, Ald'ruhn Fighters' Guild, some ship cabins, and a majority of the shacks in Seyda Neen, Hla Oad, Gnaar Mok, Ald Velothi and Khuul.
* Added light sources to the exterior of the Redoran stronghold of Bal Isra. As the stronghold gets more fleshed out, additional light sources will appear.
* Regular Clanfears and Fire Clanfears will no longer have a 100 % to drop a Daedra Heart, instead they will have a 50 % chance like all other Daedra.
* Replaced most of the creatures in the Deadlands with leveled spawns, meaning the instance won't be completely dead if you decide to re-enter.
* The price of the custom glass armor that you can obtain from Bols Indalen in Mournhold is now based on Rebirth values, instead of vanilla.
* Added the missing Dagoths': Dagoth Mulis, Dagoth Velos, Dagoth Malan to the game. This also means three more 400 souls to capture.
* Ordinators will no longer attack you for wearing their armor if you are either Patriarch of the Temple or named the Nerevarine.
* Khajiits and Argonians will have trouble dealing with Comonna Tong members, unless their disposition isn't high enough (90).
* Added a sign outside Bivale Dralayn's pawnshop in Ald Velothi. Additionally this shop will close at night, like other shops.
* Replaced the waterspouts in Vivec's and Molag Mar's canalworks with ones that matches the Velothi interior set.
* Replaced the firepits inside Velothi interiors with ones that matches the Velothi interior set.
* Replaced regular cliff racer spawns in the Red Mountain region with blighted cliff racers spawns.
* The book 'Ordo Legionis' now mentions Fort Ashmoth as one of the legion garrisons in Vvardenfell.
* Thongar's Tradehouse in Khuul will no longer be locked at night, as it's more than just a shop.
* Totally reworked the Library of Vivec, making it much larger. Consider this somewhat of a WIP.
* Added signs to the Fighter's and Mages's guild entrances in Wolverine Hall.
* Some parts of the Dunmer Stronghold exterior set are now in a more "ruined state".
* Replaced all instances of static coiled rope with the misc item coiled rope.
* Varus Vatinius now has a ranged option during the duel in the Arena.
* Imperial Guards now wield Imperial Spears, instead of Steel Spears.
* Added a trap door to the top of the Eastern Guardtower, Balmora.
* Chests inside vaults etc are less likely to contain Daedric weapons.
* Reworked the Ghostgate Shrine and the area around it.
* Reworked the exterior of Ald Redaynia Tower.
* Removed the creature 'Ash Scorpion' from the mod.
* Ash Yams now restores intelligence instead of fortifies intelligence.
* Corkbulb Root now restores luck instead of fortifies luck.
* Corprus Weepings will no longer appear in random loot.
* Added new prison racks to all imperial prison cells.
* Added locked glass doors to some bookshelves.
