Hi!

My mate has Earthtear Cavern as his primary residence and he has thought up an entire backstory about how the cave's interior came to be. We started talking about it and we thought that it would be awesome to have an NPC that you can place in your home that can tell the story about the place to visitors that address him.
We would need to be able to give the NPC text and responses using some kind of script. If all this is not possible with the current engine, the ability to place a lorebook with custom text inside our homes would be a good second option.

Let me know what you think about this..
PC - EU

{Nemesis the Magnificent} - Wannabe Magician with a nack for accidentally killing everything around him - Aldmeri Dominion High Elf Mastercrafter.
{Knightmare the Wild} - Fiendish Templar Lady with a must kill attitude - Dunmer by birth - EP by choice.
{Thinks-he-is-Funny} - Tough EP Argonian Dragon Knight. Drinks his ale in Belkarth - Secretly in love with his battlesister Knightmare the Wild. Battlegrounds King.
{Son-of-a-Witch} - Confused Nightblade who took up the dark arts of black magic. Literally sits in Mournhold all day doing nothing. Dreams of returning to Dragonstar Arena.
{Eilalenya Alkinaerith} - Strikingly beautiful High Elf of the Aldmeri Dominion - Seducer of men and elves - Learning the Healer ropes. Heals for fun.
{Blue Bear-y Pie} - Think-outside-the-box Mastercrafter Warden - Enjoys long walks on the beach - Protector of Tamriel's fauna and wildlife - Breton lady.
{Neopatra} - Grumpy old Veteran - Wreaks havoc in Cyrodill - loves her grandchildren - Redguard Brute. In case of bad mood she turns into a werewolf.
{Sneaky little Maraya} - Gorgeous Redguard Bombshell - Evil stamsorc who loves to clear dungeons of monsters.
{Seven of Nirn} - No-nonsense brutal lady-Orc. Always rambling on about the Covenant. Get with it or get out kinda StamSorcOrc.
{Reeks-of-Incompetence} - Hangs in the balance DK. Studied to become a dentist. Alcohol made her do nothing all day. Argonian Historian.
{Doctor Whoops} - Self conscious Sorc . Father to 18 children. None of which are anywhere in sight. Proves shield nerfs wrong. Currently doing vDSA.
{Daisy Deathbringer} - Foul necromancer that likes to hang at funerals and graveyards. Mostly plays with the dead, does not deal much death.
{Major Defiler} - Lovely necromancer who likes to study life. Puts the word romance in necromance.
{Cindiana Jones} - Defected Templar. Very deadly in Battlegrounds. Likes to wander around Cyrodill.
{Sideskirt Bob} - Nightblade who got his nickname when a lady Nord mentioned his waistline.

    They can't even do a simple thing like increase the limits. So no, not a good idea. So many other things have to be done first.

    but... lets face it, they are done doing any real updates to housing. It makes them millions of dollars, so what would they actually support it. /sarcasm.

    People are just a bit despondent about the state of housing, in general, golnebo.

    I think this is a nice idea.

    In general, I would like more (ideally, customisable) NPCs in houses - bar people, chefs, waiting staff etc. and also, customisable signs and books and so on.

    The Essential Housing Tools add-on allows you to place 2D NPC's with custom text lines in your homes. As a bonus, they do not use the furnishings slots.

    I didn't know about that one! I will definitely give it a try. Thanks!
