Request to PLEASE move: Sorinne Gaerard

UtopianWarrior88

In Vivec City, but I assume in other places, Sorinne is bugging us to play Tales of Tribute; there's no way for me to ignore it as she is very loud, I could take the quest and shut her up on all my other toons but... wouldn't it be an idea to move her to the PVP area? Playing cards around a campfire seems more like that, and then she doesn't have to keep yapping at a writ-rat like me every time I hand in and return from my daily writs.
Won't affect how easy she is to find, but it would surely save my sanity!

Araneae6537

And indeed, why is she in Vivec City at all??? As far as I know, NPCs quest givers for chapters and DLCs have previously only in and outside of base game cities. But this Sorinne is in Vivec City and Solitude and I don’t know where else. And she is even more obnoxious than Stuga!

Destai

Agreed. The NPCs in this game feel way too pushy. I tend to play with dialogue off these days, especially if I'm on my main who has done everything. It's just so much more peaceful.

Necrotech_Master

i honestly barely notice her, but i also dont really do crafting writs, and my normal hangout is the elden tree in grahtwood, which i dont think shes in any noticeable place lol

i do agree though that there is so much clutter between these quest starter NPCs and prologue NPCs now and they are ALL generally vocal when you get near them shouting about whatever quest they are handing out

for example, every time i go to murkmire i hear that one lady ("cyrodiilic collections needs YOU!") on my characters that havent done the murkmire story

blktauna

I'd like to be able to blade of woe her.

Hoghorn

when i'm doing writs in vivec i go around the far side of the bank from her, doesn't trigger the npc. i don't like the voice acting she has, sounds too chipper, like she's trying to get me involved in her multi level marketing business. bad job all around here.

Do the ToT quest, and she'll quit bothering you. That's what I did, then I played a few ToT games, then moved on to other things. Not a peep out of her since.

That's the issue. I can't tell you how many quests I do just so I'm left alone. I get that they want to foster adoption, but it's intrusive. Let people queue for content or walk up to a table; I feel like that nagware NPC is just too much.

UtopianWarrior88

Wow I'm glad I'm not the only one.

This is exactly my point; I have taken Stuga's quest to shut her up, but then... "THE GUILD HAS NEED OF YOU MY FRIEND!?!"... etc. Fortunately those are not in such a prominent place. But this one is just really bothering me.

The downside is that you have to do it with EVERY character, individually..... and you have to win the one game, so that she doesn't keep showing back up with "There You Are" constantly... but, if you have enough alts, then they add the points from them all, and force you into the tournament... where, instead of being like a real game.... you are destined to win, and the ENTIRE universe resets over and over, like the Tom Cruise movie, until you do.... but now, it's 3 games you HAVE TO WIN on EVERY character... with the points tracked on the account, to try and get you forced into the NEXT level of tournament......

At the beginning, I was fairly ambivalent about the game.... then I got sick of the screaming street walker routine --- nagware, is a great term, used above ---- and did the whole "just do the quest to make it go away"......

Now, I despise the whole thing, and I refuse to give up quest slots, so I park all my characters that haven't done it at places I can find without all this crap....

I really wish the Devs could understand the simple fact that this is NOT fun....
At least, make it like a real gaming circuit where, if you loose, you have to start over, and you would have to pro-actively come back without a screaming street walker that you can hear halfway across town.

If you're on PC, addon named "NPC Muter" is helpful. It works on any NPC.

endgamesmug

Leyawiin is real peaceful for writs without all that carry on, there is fighters guild lady but picking that up on each character removes that issue. I went to glenumbra the other day and got a bit of a fright when she suddenly started up 😆, ive found that i can just stay a certain distance away from her and it wont trigger though.

I have a small troop of Silencers who would gladly carry it out and send her to Sithis.

Now achievements are account wide there's no need for the relentless nagging on every single chatacter. Once you've unlocked it, it should check the achievements, shut up and stop bugging you. I bet there's very few people who go through these things more than once, maybe twice, unless there's a gain for that character and the whole of ToT is account wide anyway so what's the point? If people do want to repeat it over and over they know where the gaming hall is after the first time!

EDIT: I've done the first quest on all my characters to shut her up, because in the long run it was less time than the extra it took avoiding her every day (which I did for a month or so). It didn't take all that long but it was still a stupid waste of gametime for no real benefit, that I could've used doing something I wanted

The best thing about this video is that it has mute option. Now if we could get ZOS to enable players to mute various NPC's all would be golden.

Taggund

That she would be gone would be great. I just accepted the quest on each of my characters based in Vivec, and she no longer appears, no need to complete it.

redlink1979

I avoid her.
The quest list has a limit and I don't want waste a slot with a quest just to shut up one npc.

The guild person will run up to you, though.

Taking quests just to shut up some NPC is a limited use option. There are only 25 quests that can be active, and if I have no interest in some quest that is being yelled at me (like the card game) these have the potential to collect.

Just make them justice system NPCs and people will keep killing them. The dead tell no tales of tribute.

evan302

I would love to see her removed. There are some towns where you cannot avoid triggering her if you want to pick up your writs.
Even members of my family have taken to winding me up by yelling,
"Hear ye!...."
And I've only been playing for a few months.

I haven't played ToT and the longer this goes on, the less likely I am to play it.
The constant nagging from NPCs is something I have come to loathe about this game, there has to be a better way to let players know there is content available. Sorrine is by far the worst offender, though.

Could they not just sit her in the inns with a nice quiet quest marker over her head?

DinoZavr

i have told ya Stuga is not the worst!!!

I'd personally like an option to mute all but my current quest dialogue. Right now, at least on console, there's just one slider. Would be nice to see that enhanced.

Would you consent to Matt Firor having it as his ringtone? It wouldn't take long for him to get the point !

SilverBride

It would make more sense to move her to Gonfalon Bay in High Isle on the bridge by the gaming hall. There is not much reason to go there other than ToT quests.

Or remove her all together and have the quest in the Crown Store under Quest Starters.

Or not have a starter quest at all. Players wanting to start ToT should be able to find their way to the gaming hall without an NPC pointing the way.

Not to mention she's giving out false information. A year old feature is not a "brand new card game." Some might consider that deceptive.

MaleAmazon

Yeah. Add a dialogue option for [snip], but with more 'person to person sensitivity'. Like "I heard you the tenth time, if you keep yelling out when I come here again, the next thing you will be yelling is 'help me, help me!'.

Wouldn´t be the first time, they fixed the Captain Helane choices...

Elsewhere, they implied that it has always been there, we just never noticed it.

Yeah, they talk about the Founders and their tradition, yet it's also "brand new?" Not really surprising when you consider the lore of the main story characters' sacrifices being rendered moot as they magically reappear from death to sell new chapters. So I guess Sorinne making stuff up on the fly isn't too out of character.
