The Scent of Suspicion is a small quest mod set in Suran, centered around a stolen creation: the Essence of Suran, a unique perfume developed by the alchemist Ibarnadad. The quest focuses on investigation and player choice, with outcomes shaped by whether you pursue justice or profit.
The story also connects Suran to Balmora, where Nalcarya of White Haven, the well-known upper-class alchemist in High Town, plays a supporting role. She assisted Ibarnadad during the development of the perfume, and players who take the time to visit her can uncover additional dialogue and an alternate way of approaching the quest, which I don’t want to spoil too much.
With the release of version 1.5, the mod adds support for a unique perfume spray sound, now available for both MWSE and OpenMW Lua. OpenMW support was made possible thanks to sjek, while MWSE support was previously added by Greatness7. OpenMW will still play the default inventory sound, but an optional download enables the custom spray effect.
The mod includes:
A questline with multiple paths and endings
Unique dialogue, mostly tied to established Morrowind characters
The Essence of Suran, a custom potion that boosts charisma and persuasion
Broad compatibility with Suran overhauls and common mod setups
If you enjoyed the quest, the connections to existing characters, or the attention to small details in updates like this one, and you’d like to support my work, a coffee is always appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who has played, tested, endorsed, or shared feedback. It genuinely helps and keeps me motivated to keep modding Morrowind.
