Newer TES games could take a lot from the old ones, I'd love to see the bigger cities back, even if we miss out on named NPC's it's not like 90% of them have anything to offer after your first trip to town anyway.

Now I have to start a new character again, SHIT
What house is more influental throughout Vvanderfell, Hlaalu or Redoran? Which is more beneficial for powerhungry mage who hates Telvanni?
>>338249516
Hlaalu
Why any mage character would not want to join Telvanni though is beyond me.
>>338249164
She's a qt, but why would you want to be anything other than Dunmer Master Race?

So, uhm...
What's the status with Open Morrowind?
Possible to do a megamod install including TR or do I still have to wait?
>>338245159
Doesn't seem to have weapons, though.
>>338249516
Hlaalu, and probably Hlaalu. The Hlaalu are cunts, though, so you should just join the Redoran instead - especially since the Redoran are engaged in the most direct competition with the Telvanni.
>>338249897
>Why any mage character would not want to join Telvanni though is beyond me
Because apart from having the best questline, there's enough in-character reasons to not wish to.
>>338250587
Vanilla game is done, some mods work, some don't. I think Tamriel Rebuilt works, but the Graphics Extender doesn't.
>>338250803
the only reason to ever join hlaalu is if you really, REALLY enjoy imperial dick up your ass

You're wrong. At least in vanilla Morrowind they don't.

Is there any difference between vanilla OpenMW and vanilla Morrowind?

>>338256429

Redoran has a shit mansion though. Way out of the way in the middle of nowhere and hardly any space for yourself.

This, Telvanni and Redoran are both good (Telvanni have the better questline), Hlaalu a shit
>>338257032
Filthy s'wit
It has the best architecture, the Hlaalu stronghold is worst.
>>338257331
>>338257174
That's what I was hoping the manor would look like, at least a smaller version, if that makes sense. Telvanni is really claustrophobic and Hlaalu is conventional, Skar is probably my favorite location in the whole game. Settled for living in Ienas Sarandas's house. It's small like the inside of the Redoran manor but it feels like a house instead of an inn.
>>338251136

I've never been the kind of guy that makes a new character for each faction. I think i'll join one of the Houses with my current one, but it's a shame that my faggotry ruins the role playing like this
>>338260731
You probably already killed quite a few questgivers, too.
>>338260987
Y-yay
Although at some point i stopped taking writs and mostly only did the special quests from the Grandmaster, and now i am the grandmaster
Btw, what do i do with the threads of sanguine that i'll find from now on? The guy used to say that they were, what, 27? I don't think i already collected them all, but now he's gone since i replaced him, so who do i give the items to? I guess i could keep them for myself, but what about all the others i collected, are they just gone?
going through morrowind for the first time, this is the 4th time I've gave it a chance and now I'm finally enjoying it, mostly thanks to openMW
>go to mournhold to beat up dark brotherhood
>kill 20 apprentices with ease, often fighting 6v1
>this guy shows up and fucks my shit up in 1 hit with that op sword
what the fuck
What's with those damn goblins in the sewers as well?
also OpenMW seems great so far, considering the version it's at, haven't had a single problemany recommended/required mods that work with openMW?
>>338261374
What level are you? Morrowind is not leveled, so it's hard for low level players in the expansion.
LGNPC is a must for me.
>>338261603
oh fuck, so that's the expansions? I'm guessing it's Tribunal, no wonder there's so much new shit that's sort-of easily accessible here.
And yea, I'm level 4 so I guessed that was the main problem, but I still wanted to try because the apprentices were a joke
atleast I made like 20k gold selling their armor and bought some new gear
>>338261737
It's easy to break the game selling their stuff, I wouldn't recommend doing it too much.
>>338261796
yea, I have 24k gold now, don't feel like doing it anymore
I might drop some off, it's not like gold is that hard to make anyways.
classic bethesda and their gold problem
>>338260731
>Joined the Morag Tong because you thought the House disputes were petty
>Now you realise that they are worthy of service/have influence/can be useful for your own power so you decide to join the one that [fits best with character motivation]
I believe in you, anon! Telvanni and Redoran are cool, Telvanni probably has the better (if weirder) questline. Redoran quests are also really cool and I love their philosophy, but it's a bit shorter than the others. Hlaalu are a bunch of faggots basically.
>>338260987
>You probably already killed quite a few questgivers, too.
Only if he's accepted and completed the Grandmaster writs, and has thus completed the main quest - and only for Hlaalu and Telvanni, there's no Redoran conflict.
>>338261182
>Btw, what do i do with the threads of sanguine that i'll find from now on? The guy used to say that they were, what, 27?
There are 26, and they're still there, but now the only thing you can really do with them is collect them and decorate your house with them (which is still probably the best use because they're all unique and they have cool names). If you complete the quest for Eno before he leaves, he'll give you a unique spell which is useful but not essential - mainly for the fact that it's the only way to get Fortify Attack as a spellmaking effect, but Fortify Attack isn't particularly useful (it can be made up for with other Fortify effects like Strength, Agility and Weaponskill) so it's really only for hardcore completionists.
>>338261374
Morrowind is mainly not levelled, but some enemy types draw from a levelled list. So you tore through the low-level Apprentices who were levelled to you, then walked straight into a level 50 unique NPC.
Tribunal's for high-level characters sera, and the mainland attacks stopped when you got to Mournholdcity of Light, city of magic!for the first time, so just go back to Vvardenfel for a while and play the game some more.
>>338261935

Congrats! May I offer you some flin?
You can stash your gold somewhere, but the only real goldsinks in Morrowind are training and enchanting/spellmaking, so it's not absolutely essential - it's not like Skyrim where at high levels you can just go out and buy a bunch of Ebony/Daedric stuff. Just pace yourself training, and you'll be fine.Walk with virtue, outlander.

>the lizard-loving fop of a councillor is one of the better ones

>>338263338
>Not living in utter decadence
>>338245508
Because modern design is obsessed with making everything unique. I'd be perfectly fine with big cities using same assets for houses and buildings, with couple of landmark standouts here and there, as long as they could replicate a somewhat proper size city.
>>338257347
>It has the best architecture, the Hlaalu stronghold is worst.
Hlaalu stronghold is by far the comfiest one and seems like a proper fief with your own mine on the side.
also, I've been wondering how good a stealth character is in Morrowind. Didn't want to take a thief or something for the first time in case stealth sucked
>>338262548
>chop
>slash
>trust
You know, if they hadn't enabled "always use best attack", it would have made using the OP as fuck weapons really grating but also interestingly diverse.
It could encourage people to use more common and inferior weapons just because its easier to get good attacks with them.
Or they could have given you a reason to thrust or slash like anti armor or anti creature bonuses. There's that.
>>338263904
it still pisses me off when people mod houses to morrowind. entire idea is that you're a nobody, an outlander, and great houses are the only ones who can provide you with backing to become someone in material sense. hence their strongholds if you back them up. or kill an npc and move into his place.
Which TES is the comfiest ?

I didn't mean that I disliked itas much as I do the Hlaalu in general; it has a nice layout and the quest to complete it is cool, and in setup and location it fits nicely with the mercantile House theme. It's just that I absolutely adore the Redoran architecture, and if I usually have two houses in Balmora already - Hlaalo Manor (especially if I'm a member of the House) anda skooma den by Caius' place
>>338264235
>he doesn't make a cozy skooma den in Balmora out of the house of some fetcher he killed
>>338263951
It's viable, you get good crits bonuses for stealth archery and backstabbing. Also illusion spells really help, you don't need that high a skill to get longer invisibilty spells.
But I don't think stealth is really that fun in Morrowind.

>>338263951
Viable and interesting, though it's different to later games. Sneak criticals can be tremendously powerful, especially with melee weapons, especially considering the higher damage in general you're capable of inflicting. Stealth is binary, though, so you're either sneaking or you're not - once you're detected, you're gonna stay detected. Mixing up a weapon skill /and/ hand-to-hand is pretty fun, and you do have a greater variety of utility spells than in later games - Invisibility is available at a relatively low level of Illusion (or as an enchantment), and Illusion also gives you Chameleon, Calm, Paralyze and Sanctuary. Other useful spells from other schools are stuff like Open and Lock, Jump, Levitate, and Telekinesis. A hybrid Nightblade-type would probably be the best way to go, but you might now find yourself using stealth as much as you intended - still, it's worth giving a go.

It's easily one of my most nostalgic games. I remember sneaking into my older brothers room at 1 am on weekends and slowly unplugging the xbox in the dark and carefully taking it to my room so I could play it.

And even though it made sense narratively (and the special characters like the Legate and Priest of Arkay you can meet almost make up for it), almost no High Elves. I mean, Morrowind was supposed to be incredibly racist and there was still a better mix of races.

Right now openmw is shitty for graphics as you do not have lighting nor distant terrain, so I would stick to vanilla mw. Openmw has bump and normal mapping but there are like 2 mods which uses that right now.
If you like how this mw looks >>338274861, then really all you need is mge and watercolour (and ofc some fixes like mcp and exe optimiser). If not, mgso is good looking overhaul.
is there a trick to this
I'm too lazy to go hunt down Frenzy spells which will just end up failing
>>338277414
Ah, okay. So OpenMW /supports/ bump-mapping, but I've still gotta wait for mods which actually use it.
That Morrowind looks pretty good to me, anon, I think I'll just go with that for now rather than trying any major overhauls.

Talk to based Percius Mercius first (you should do this before most Fighters Guild quests just to hear his opinion)
To get the book: if you're not a member of the Thieves Guild, get her disposition high enough through charm/bribes (70+) and she'll give it to you. Then, if you EVER WANT TO JOIN THE THIEVES GUILD, join them before you hand the book in.
If you are a member of the Thieves Guild already, she won't give it to you, so either pickpocket her (using Chameleon/Fortify Sneak as necessary) or Taunt her into attacking you (repeated bribes and taunting work, or you could Fortify your speechcraft to give you a better chance at success)
>>338278664
either use cash to bribe her enough, she'll give it to you.
If you are part of the thieves guild you'll have to pickpocket it off of her. There is a fued between the two guilds, seeing as the fighter's guild is allied with the Camonna Tong.
Also, if you plan on joining the thieves guild, you need to do that before handing in the code book, or else you'll be locked out of the thieves guild forever.
I'm going to go Telvanni, I've heard magic is hard at the start.

It is, due to a combination of factors but mainly due to limited and non-regenerating Magicka and a decent chance of casting failure at low skill levels.
Firstly: Magicka. Your Magicka is determined entirely by a multiplier x your Intelligence stat, so with a normal multiplier of one you'll have a maximum of 100 at any one time. You can increase this with Alchemy and Enchanting, but if you want enough to play around with for the majority of your play through, you'll want a higher multiplier - through a combination of race (Altmer/Breton) and/or Birthsign (Apprentice, Mage, Atronach). Each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and at the end you're still going to want a character /you/ want to play, so choose whatever you want.
Regenerating magicka: on rest, through potions, by Absorbing it from the world (through Temple shrines, for example, or summonable Ancestor Ghosts) or through the 'exploit' of Draining (NOT Damaging) your Intelligence to 0 momentarily (either with a custom spell or a few swigs of booze like sujamma) will give you full Magicka once the effect wears off.
Spells have a chance to fail (well, a chance to be cast, but whatever) that depends mostly on your skill in the school in question, the difficulty of the spell, and your Fatigue when you cast it - so don't expect to succeed, especially early game.
Because of all this, it's best to have at least one weapon and armour skill (even if they're Hand-To-Hand and Unarmoured, though I'd recommend an actual weapon over just hth) to get you through the early levels and as a fallback later. Gotta survive to train those skills, right? On that note, learn some Restoration - Restoring your own attributes at the least, or get potions you can use in a pinch. (1/

IF i remember correctly, the overhaul includes the extender, wich gives you a fuck ton of choices to chose between different trees mods and other stuff.
if not is viceversa

If you roll a good character magic is nor particularly harder than anything else, is more tedious since there's no regeneration so you have to chug potions like a motherfucker.
A good character for a mage basically means an altmer or a breton. Dunmer is playable but you'll have a small magicka reserve.
As a recomendation I strongly advise against focusing on Destruction, since high level enemies have high reflect %.

For this reason, a Nightblade-style hybrid (not an actual Nightblade necessarily, I'm just using that as an example) might be the best way to start off the game - so you don't have to rely entirely on your magic.
The good news: Spellcasting is pretty damn powerful, with tons of utility from damage to Illusion to Jump, Levitate and Teleport. There's nothing as fun as leveraging about your enemies hurling destruction at them (or Levitating them to cripple their movement)
Alchemy and Enchanting are gamebreaking if you want them to be and still incredibly useful if you don't; custom potions for all your needs and as a backup to your restorative/utility spells. As your Enchanting grows, you can get more uses out of enchanted items and more charge from soul gems, and they range from useful (buffing, Intervention/Recall to save you a Spell) to massively damaging. On that note: do the first couple of Mages Guild quests (the ones you're not liable to have much trouble with) and then about when you move to your second questgiver (or before if you're feeling comfortable) it's a good idea to go do the first of the Telvanni quests, the Mouth quests - they're all relativity simple and they offer rewards that are very useful to a Mage character.
All in all: have fun, sera! Don't follow /everything/ I say as if it were Saryoni's Sermons, experiment and find your own way. That's what Morrowind is all about, after all. Good luck, anon.Wow, that was a lot longer and I sound a lot preachier than I intended. Sorry, guys.
>>338281276
Yeah, it's a bit of an arcane process mechanically so until you get insanely high Speechcraft it can take a while because it depends a lot on the specifics of the NPC. Good news is, as long as you've got the gold to get them to bite /eventually/, you can just kill them and take it straight back.

Can a mage survive without armor and destrucrion?
>>338283332
Easily.
>>338283127
I don't know but it's annoying as fuck if you go for pure magic, since although you have insane conjuration spells (I think only purchaseable through Telvanni teachers, though), the IA is kinda wonky and your summoned creatures won't attack anyone even if he's hostile, not until he attacks you or viceversa, which can mean you dying isntantly when talking about advanced dwemer centurions or dremora lords.
Overall being a pure mage is the most powerful character possible in Morrowind, but not the fastest, a melee character with good gear will have less options but can hack away at everything without a care for reflects.
>>338283332
You have armor spells and you can get an hilariously decent armor value with Unarmored actually.

To be honest I don't know, and I didn't see the remade dungeons yet. I suppose if they both edit the same dungeons and I have GDR on top in load order, then it's edit will be in game.
>>338284396
I meant "its edit" of course.
>dat UI size when playing at 4k
There is so much room for everything, holy shit
>>338284396
Rebirth 3.6 completely overhauls Red Mountain, while GDR changes the outdoor dwemer ruin entrances. In my installation, some of the entrances to Dagoth Ur were buried underground, while a dwemer tower floated in the sky above the mountain top.
>>338284628
Morrowind still by far has the best UI out of all TES games. It's basically perfect and only problem is that elements get smaller at higher resolutions and that there's a finite number of icons for shit so they'll eventually end up repeating, preventing you from recognizing items on a glance.
>>338284831

Fucking dwemer.

Seems like a fair proposition

Welp
Man it's been so long but I guess I gotta play thsi shit again.
Did the armor class influence magic cast chance? Also, what was the deal with acrobatics and athletics, I think you don't want it in either major or minor because it fucks up your leveling or something?
Wasn't the system working in a weird way where you would want your prefered skills all to be set a minor or some shit?
>>338285871
Armour doesn't affect cast chance. Only the skill, fatigue and Willpower with luck on the side.
>>338285871
>Did the armor class influence magic cast chance?
No, armor doesn't affect anything, the only reason why a mage wouldn't want to wear armor is because it's heavy as shit if you don't ever increase your strength.
>Wasn't the system working in a weird way where you would want your prefered skills all to be set a minor or some shit?
Kinda, but since there's no autoleveling you don't need to minmax to make a competitive character, so you don't need to force yourself to study the system and micromanage your stat increases.
>>338285871
Having athletics as a minor or major skill may cause you to level up too fast, since you are constantly increasing athletics by running. This gives you fewer points (except in Speed) to assign when leveling up.
To avoid that, you could use Madd Leveler, a mod that gives you only 3 attribute points in the level screen, but compensates it by automatically giving you an attribute point for every third skill point increase.

Fuck that sexist prick. He deserves to die for his double standards alone.
>>338273423
Also doesn't help that a good fraction of the mods now crash the game (and certain custom models have glitched infinitely-stretching limbs), likely due to old Bethesda updates I assume. A good combat-overhaul that adds more options would've been a nice start had I found one that works, and I'm unsure about total-conversions to the gameworld since I've tried only a couple minor examples.
On the side, there would've probably also had a fuckton of Fallout imports had Beth been more open, or Source/Gmod re-conversions had Gamebryo been a more-competent engine.
How much does this game cost these days? I beat the fuck out of it on Xbox but I don't know where my original Xbox even is anymore.
>>338245508
What I really REALLY would like to see get a comeback are the massive generated dungeons. Like, I would love to actual have to think "fuck me I have to make some preparations if I'm going down this hole" instead of "right I'll just get to the end, get the loot, and get out".
>>338287807
Both Morrowind and Oblivion (w/ all DLC) are each $20 on Steam.
>>338287761
Honestly, Oblivion is not a good game for hundreds of mods overhauling every little thing. Just grab the essentials and start playing, there's only frustration further down the road.

Tons of shit, really.

>Tracked down the blackhand guild from that one Argonian that had the notes in his house about the guild and various contacts
I did all that shit before even finding that book in the Vivec library, just having a good time exploring and shit. I've been hoarding armor and weapons, mostly. Finally got a set of full glass and ebony armor from some vampire cunts.
>>338288498
it is a mystery
>>338288009
I'd like a mix of both, Daggerfalls labyrinthine dungeons are great for the work needed to be put in by the player to finish them. Yet I also liked the approach to dungeons Morrowind had, smaller but a lot of dungeons had a worthwhile reason for exploring them, due to the handplaced loot. Skyrim was step back in the right direction, it's a shame so many had such a linear layout.
>>338288029
I've had major problems with even my first mods (over-the-shoulder cam and Deadly Reflex). Had something go wrong with every 3-or-so mods since then.
At least the NPC party-members worked good, first major step to making the game feel a bit more alive to me and keeping me onboard.
>>338285871
Bethesda was going to have encumbrance affect casting fatigue, but they removed it at release. You can add the functionality back in with MCP. Then turn on a mod that sets up the fatiguing so it actually works.
