[MorleyDev]

So I'm planning on starting a video let's play of Morrowind in the Oblivion Engine using Morroblivion (and a craptonne of over mods like Stealth Overhaul, Persuasion Overhaul, Supreme Magicka, Deadly Reflex etc). Now, I would just go ahead and do this and post it afterwards but first I wanted some opinions on an idea I had.

Games like Morrowind and Oblivion are not 100% action all the way through. Games like Morrowind and Oblivion have a lot of walking around. Now, I could just cut this walking out via Benny-Hill-Fast-Forward or jump-cuts. Ooooor, I could do...well, let me explain my different idea.

After episode 0, Character Creation, each episode is based around either exploring a particular area or set of areas, or doing a quest. So, for example:
Episode 1 - The Murder of a Taxman, where I do that quest where you track down the taxman's murderer.
Episode 2 - Slaves of Addamasartus, where I fight through the cave near Seyda Neen
Episode 3 - Finding the Mentor's Ring

And so-on, framing it less like a non-stop narration and instead like a sequence of episodes (Think how the Pokemon anime was done). This means you don't have to see me grinding my Alchemy skill or walking from Balmora to Ald'Ruhn for the umptenth time, or even declaring "And now I am going to Balmora" *screen wipe* "And now I am in Balmora". Also it makes handling an on-screen crash easier, since I just need to redo the recording of one quests (or go back to an autosave and just edit it in, pretending it never happened) and not lose potentially lots of play-time due to being sent back to an earlier save.

So before I...well, start this LP I wanted to get people's opinions on my "Tales of..." idea first. I originally had it for Fallout: New Vegas actually, as a kind of "Freeman's Mind" esque LP, but since I want to get into Morroblivion and do an LP sometime, I figure this is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

(Also suggestions for quests to do next, what class to be and what houses to join etc. will be took into consideration. And by took into consideration I mean I'll pick the ones I like most and if it's the one you suggested well good-de-yay).
