Yes, i have a fascination for the product of the Trap the Soul spell.
And mod 7 was really disapointing in that aspect: no new rituals with them, no larger Soul Bags.
I understand that the coding and balancing for their use is not easy, so i propose a few solution to appease the players, like me:
1-The REAL easy solution: cash
Tag a money value to them, so we can sell em. Right now, not only do they do nothing, but you actually can't even sell them. You need to destroy them. I mean, come on. You can sell +1 repair kits. You can sell regular gems. How is it that nobody in Stormreach is willing to buy a trapped soul? Add some good $$ value for them, to at least cover for the cost of the darn spell.
2- The classic solution: info
Just confirm/tell us, the players, that you have something in store for them. Like you did for horns. I don't want details. I don't care if it's for ring-crafting, spellcrafting, rituals, etc... Just tell me: Hey, Venar, hang out to those Soul essences, we have a plan for them.
3- A solution with a twist
Put in a colletor NPC, just like for collectables, that gives stuff for 3 weak essences, 2 regulars, or 1 strong essence. Not sure what kind of rewards yet.
Anything to keep my hopes up that i have not collected over 500 souls in vain...
