The scamp doesn't appear to be speak

Katinas · October 2014

Kizna, the Dragonstar Arena scamp merchant doesn't appear to be speak, but does offer some basic services. I've already opened a ticket a while ago asking that maybe he doesn't appear to be speaking or something, but seems like he just doesn't appear to be speak. Can't grammatical errors like that be fixed during maintenance or minor fixes?

Yes, this is true; but I think it is supposed to be this way. I could be mistaken but when I have played I was not under the impression there was a bug.

What? This is just a very obvious typo and nothing more, there really isn't any room for discussion here...

That's not a grammatical error, since he isn't speaking he can't be making any grammar errors.

What you probably find is scamps don't speak, so although he is a vendor/merchant he is unable to speak. It's more of a role play error than Grammar, since they have simply chosen the wrong approach to the situation.

They possibly could have put the wording as being - Khazzaar snup grug faaar!! (and then put the translation in brackets) or something like that. I don't know what language scamps speak but you get my drift.

Oh but scamps do speak! How can you forget the Creeper? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Creeper
Some of his famous quotes include "Don't want to work. Just want to bang on my drum. What's a Scamp got to do?" and "I'm creeping!"

Ah, Morrowind, I haven't played that one.
Well that destroys my Scamps don't talk theory, because if one can speak, then others can too.

Without the image working properly it's hard to see what you mean, so I tried to post it again here:

The text says:
<The scamp doesn't appear to be speak, but does offer some basic services.>

Yes it's a grammatical error, and what it should say is:
<The scamp doesn't appear to speak, but does offer some basic services.>
ie, without "be".

Does Kizna have MUCH better prices too, inquiring minds want to know?
Mr Dougherty, we don't know if he could speak, or just type, mentally suggest or magic those communications, as a lot of Morrowind beyond initial greetings was dialogue boxes. Doesn't stop me playing it so I have no idea why I am using past tense. Try it. It's as good as many games now. And you'll enjoy the Pact a LOT more.

I have tried it, I just found the movement was too slow, it was literally going at half the speed I started with in Oblivion, and I found that too frustrating.

Recently I found out you speed you a fair it if you stick at it, so maybe one day I'll give it another go. I know it's much more in depth plot wise which I would like.

And I actually found all three faction stories tons of fun.

First thing I do coming out of the Census Office is open the console and type

player->setspeed 80

although I think you can just do

player setspeed 80

The value can be whatever you want, but much more than 100 and you start to lose control on some of the tight places you have to walk.

No reason to walk around like your wading through molasses. You can set it higher, but I like to see some growth. Just don't make Athletics a Major if you do this (you would never want to anyway)

Also, make sure you have Always Run toggled on, I think it is set to Always Walk by default.
