[edit] NPC Classes

Shall we make similar pages for all NPC classes? We can move the info from Morrowind:NPC Classes to these pages, very much like the Spell Effect pages. Any thoughts? --DrPhoton 04:11, 16 February 2008 (EST)

--Brf 14:40, 13 May 2008 (EDT)==Reputation vs Desposition==

I have one game saved where I was walking around Vivec with hardly any Reputation at all, but high Disposition due to a high Personality. The Ordinators are very helpful and call me "Citizen". --Brf 14:09, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Well... I thought it would be easier to say Disposition... since Reputation and Personality are what build up Disposition, and that is what the Ordinators (and everyone else) are reacting to. --Brf 14:26, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

That doesn't take the fact of Rank in the Temple in account...

While you were typing:

You're right, Personality plays a role as well, I amended the main text. Their disposition toward a player is a sum of those three factors, hence the initial undo. BTW, have you been attacked by Ordinators after being named Nerevar, but before having had the talk with Vivec? I am trying to resolve the VN in the text, problem is, my characters are all high in Personality and have rank in the temple when they reach that state of the Main Quest... Cheers, --Benould^•T•C 14:30, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

That has never happened to me, and I have played through the main quest countless times in countless different situations. It may simply be because the user who posted that comment had previously killed an Ordinator, worn their garb, or had an exceptionally low personality and/or disposition with them. --HMSVictory^Talk 14:38, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Yeah. Disposition includes Faction rank too... So Disposition is the easiest and most correct word there... And to answer your question, the game dialog implies that the player has to avoid the Ordinators after being named Hortator of all three houses, when you are revealed as a "spy". At that point, in my most recent game, I was out in the wilderness being named Nerevarine, so I never ran into any Ordinators. When I went to talk to the Archcanon, I shoved right past several Ordinators and they pretty much ignored me.--Brf 14:40, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for your additional experience, the game dialog you mentioned is why this is mentioned in the text at all. As to just saying Disposition, it is certainly more elegant, except I have no verification at this point that generic Ordinator guards are members of the Temple faction, perhaps a look into the CS could clear that up. The Guards page was just created today ;) --Benould^•T•C 14:53, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Ah. So we are thinking that Temple-rank affects their disposition even though we have no proof that Ordinators are members of the Temple. Yeah. Maybe someone should check their disposition script. --Brf 14:59, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
