The current way NPCs that are allied to one another is a little odd. Let me give you a situation to demonstrate what I mean and what I'm suggesting.

You have + with the Blue Dwarves, and - with Durin's Folk. There's a Blue Dwarf and a Dwarf in a room. You kill the Dwarf, which is allied with Blue Dwarves, but the Blue dwarf will not retaliate and attack. That generally makes no sense; if your ally or brethren were killed in front of you, you would take action, whether they have a little bit of a good reputation in your people or not. What im suggesting is that that a faction sees their ally killed in front of them, they will take action, regardless if the player is neutral or positive with them. It just makes more sense.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!

I'm moving this from another thread because Alte closed it D:

First off is a change to the Obsidian Wargs. Right now, they're just a cooler looking retexture of the regular wargs in the Utumno. They dont share the chilling effect of the Ice Wargs, or the Infernal effect of the Fire Wargs. I propose that they have a small health decrease (Maybe 40-50 health, or even 40-60 health), as well as damage reduction from hits, as they are "solid obsidian" and regular weapons wouldn't pierce their hide as easily. I think it'd make these wargs more of a threat and just generally more interesting.

Second is a new drop to the obsidian level. Currently, its pretty mundane and boring. Most players pass through it directly to get to the good stuff-Balrogs and Flame of Udun. That drop would be the Heart of Obsidian (Name is debatable). This drop, when applied to armor, would increase protection and durability for a rather large price in material. However, this drop would drop exclusively from Obsidian Wargs, making them and the obsidian level more interesting.

My Third suggestion is that Flame of Udun will very, very, VERY rarely drop from Utumno Fire Wargs, and at that it will only drop 1. This might not make it because it would devalue the Flame of Udun and balrogs in general, but its just a thought.

My fourth suggestion is that the Chill of Daidelos will only drop off of Ice Wargs, Ice Spiders, and Snow-Trolls, but as a consequence making it a little more common.

My fifth suggestion is giving Utumno a banner. It's purely aesthetic, but it would be a nice thing to hang on your door saying you made it.

My sixth and final suggestion is giving balrogs names. Some balrogs in the books had names, and it would be nice if they could as well.

Thank you for reading.

Just a bunch of Random yet interesting things I came up with that dont really belong in any category by themselves. Since im not going to make a thread for each of them, I'll just put them all here. Hope ya like them!

EDIT: I forgot to add one thing-Balrog names! balrogs should spawn with names, as they had names in the books, but dont in the mod.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day :D
