What, no Morrowind thread? Show some love n'wahs
First for this game is deep as shit
>>339471774
cant wait to finish my final exams. Going to play the living shit out of Morrowind again
>>339472531
Wish I had been smart enough to wait until after my paper deadlines and exams.
I fucked up and now I'm addicted again for at least a month.
>>339471774
Do I even need to post it? This is just complete bullshit. I have no idea how anyone could tolerate the combat in this game.

Webm related. No cheats used (unlike your webm), just leveled my character a bit and got some gear.

What's the best treasure room in in the game and why is it Ibar-Dad?
>>339471774
Thank fuck, finally a decent thread.
I tried to play Morrowind again recently but when I started a new game MGE just gave me a blank screen.
Anyway, have some screenshots of my main room in Morrowind.
Any boss as fuck nigga will know where this is.

>>339473762
Nah guess again senpai. It's possibly a pleb-tier choice, depending on your view of the houses.
I think at the end of the day the Redoran stronghold is my favorite.

I'm currently making a soul merchant/enchanter
Is it possible for me to edit the value of filled soul gems or the chance self enchantments will succeed? If not I'm keen to hear any tips related to mysticism and soul trapping/enchanting.
>>339472992
wow haha that looks fucking stupidly fun
fucking saved, be on the lookout for me posting your webm to counter shitposters you huge faggot
>>339473594
I got it working. It was some steam bullshit.
Thanks for a quality post for once /v/, now I'm going to go play Morrowind.
>>339474610
wait... are you using texture packs?
MGSO can give such a nice atmosphere. I love it
Gothic 2 is better.
Wish I could play more, my Orc just got to Balmora and joined the Fighters Guild. Runs nicely with the overhaul.
Can someone post a roll chart? I'll play again, never finished Tribunal
>>339472992
can you post your build or w/e? I wanna try this out, looks fun as hell
>go into the cave near pelgiad
>get raped
Epic.
Yes I'm using a weapon I have stats for.
I'm playing through Morrowind as an Orc Rogue. It's a nice change from the usual Mage and Sorcerer characters I play. Joined up with House Redoran, the Imperial Legion and the Fighters Guild and all in all I'm having a good time.
https://youtu.be/Hq4krak8DVI
What stats do i need for stopping CTDs?
>>339477017
Speed at 100 + Boots of Blinding Speed and pretty high Acrobatics (mine are at 70 I think). Makes me jump around at sanic speed.
Decent Destruction skill and a high Intelligence for a lot of Magicka (to get the most possible roll an Altmer with the Atronach birthsign, but I rolled an Apprentice Breton).
Rest of the build doesn't really matter much.
I personally also have high Enchant and Short Blade as major skills so I can stab niggas with my magic sword. And Alchemy for making stupidly powerful potions but I haven't used that yet.
Uh... There's a perfectly good explanation for this, I assure you...
>>339479534
wouldnt breton be better than altmer anyway for using the boots?
>>339480207
In a way, yeah. With an Altmer you'd have a harder time getting your magicka resist to 100%. That's also the reason I picked a Breton.
>>339478845
What helped a lot for me (or seems like it helped anyway) was switching from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen in MGE. No idea why, or if it even really helped.

This is amazing.
Ok, I feel like putting some of my thoughts out here on morrowind since I finally played a good amount of hours to finally reach LV.2 (should have put some athletics on my build)
First of all, I'm on oblivion fag. Its the first one I started with and the one I know best, and the second TES game I played for hours is skyrim, both I enjoyed. Before playing morrowind like I'm doing now, I goofed around with it a few years ago with a friend and just didn't touched it till you fuckers finally made me.
I love it. It feels more down to earth as an actual RPG then allot of the others I played. I could care less about the graphics, but it still, even with how it is it still feels like I'm entering a new and exciting world to explore. Any one who cries about hitting nothing are people who aren't sticking with they're builds (rogue more or less for me now.)
Theres only one issue with morrowind I have so far that hope doesn't show up to often and that's the lack of or none at all directions for missions. You all should Shulks Egg Farm. I took me a few hours and me reaching a new town to give up and just wiki it. The quest giver at the fighters guild only mentioned the mission being at the farm, but directions for it. I talked to a few npc commoners in ballmora, all said the same thing. You wanna know what the wiki said? South west along the river side. That's all I needed. This is more then likely the biggest deterrent for any new players of morrowind. Me, I'll keep playing, I love the game and can't wait to waist a few more months on it, but really, quest that have no directions is horrible.
>fuck you bitching faggots who like to complain about not hitting anything, just stick with you're damn builds!
>>339483762
I dunno, I remember that when I played it 12 years ago I didn't even have internet and I could always find what I needed. Sometimes it was a bit hard, but for most places there are enough clues and directions if you look and read carefully enough.
>>339484039
Worst part is I passed buy it. I was on that river and felt like that it should be rather close by. It was close to a crypt that I just had to bamfed the fuck out. Too under leveled fighting ... Bonewalkers? (great character designs) all I had to do was just walk forward to that source of light and noticed the to farm workers taking a breather.
>>339483537
I think you can, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm in tears man, this is too funny
Imperial s'wit.
>>339483762
When I was younger I remember doing the Redoran quest where you had to find the mad noble in a cavern north west of Ald'ruhn. These were the directions in the journal.
>...which is on the road to Maar Gan just north of the crossroads.
I spent hours trying to find that cavern, scouring every inch of the path between Maar Gan and Ald'Ruhn, but I just couldn't find it. I got really frustrated and quit Morrowind for a while.
On a later playthrough I learned that the cavern was on the western side of the hill. Not the eastern side, where the path to Maar Gan is. It was embarrassing to realize how close the cavern actually was. I'm happy with the journal directions, but that was a time where I feel it was a bit misleading.
>>339485463
Oh god there is more of those kinds of quests? I'll give it an hour till wiki then on my play through.
I remember trying to install some mod where you worked with Dagoth-Ur to spread the blight all over Morrowind, anyone know the name? I couldn't get it to install properly back then, would like to try again.
i dont know what the fuck morrowind rebirth guys did with the balance, but im witnessing an epic duel between the khajit slave and mistress therana...

What do you guys recommend mod-wise for a first Morrowind playthrough?
No mods?
Just patches?
Mods from the get-go?
I've played Gothic and the IE games, so I don't really care about graphics and the like.
I'll probably play a defensive fighter, paladin type. Armour, restoration, block, alteration and a weapon type will be my main skills.
What's best for a good first time experience?
>>339487286
Just do it
And remember not to swing at shit when you don't have stamina
>>339471774
You're doing god's work, anon. This board needs at least one Morrowind thread up 24/7.
>>339487286
just touch up graphics a bit with mgso if you want, it can be a bit dated
otherwise nothing really, its kinda fun how you break the game even with a normal playthrough
well maybe the solstheim rumor fix, and the delayed brotherhood attack mod, if you have expansions installed (you should), so it doesnt start guiding you to the expansion content at the beginning
>>339474394
The easiest "cheat" is to create cast on self equipment that give you a huge amount of Enchanting and Intelligence for 1-2 seconds. You can stack all of them together if you're fast, and you're almost guaranteed to succeed even with permanent enchants.

It adds some very cool dungeons, a few expansions to the cities, revamps Red Mountain (will conflict with DNGDR if you are using it), and some optional rebalances to birth signs and races. I recommend that you at least grab the optional music files at least.
>>339486891
should i intervene? on which side? it just painful to watch...
>>339487286
I would say MGSO but that changes maybe a little too much for a first playthrough. Not really mechanics wise, just art style and shit.
You could go with just MGE (Morrowind Graphics Extender) and the Morrowind Code Patch and Morrowind Patch Project. Especially those last two since they fix a ton of bugs.
If you don't care that much about retaining the original art style completely then go with MGSO. It's more or less an all-in-one collection of a bunch of mods and has an automated installer.
>>339472803
>simple and quick
>how could anyone tolerate doing this
Maybe it's because we don't have to spend much time doing it.
>>339487693
>http://mw.modhistory.com/download-35-7126
That's the one, thank you! I wonder if I can get it to work this time or if it's just broken in the first place.
Most fun I ever had with this game was my Cauis Cosades run. Only hand to hand, unarmored, athletics, acrobatics, and security.
No magic, and no items of any kind, except keys, a single pair of pants, skooma pipe, and quest items, and one single lock pick at a time.
Are you a bad enough tweaker to save the world?

Well, soul trapping is slavery of the worst form. It prevents the entity's soul from rejoining Aetherius and instead traps it in a prison to be later transferred to another prison where it will be forced into providing energy.
>>339487818
How did that run go for you? Also that's not a full selection of skills.
Oh boy, I sure do love missing for 30 minutes straight!
>>339488020
Oh boy, it's a b8 post.
>>339474394
>>339487607
That requires you to find the spell effect to raise your Intelligence or Enchanting. Depending on your funds or game version this could take a while or be impossible.
It's much faster to produce potions that do it using ash yams, bloat, or netch leather. Bloat and ash yams are pretty easy to get your hands on early.
Luck also helps which you can get from corkbulb root and guar hide.
>>339488247
I don't think anyone these days doesn't have Tribunal. There's a guy selling fortify skill spells in Mournhold.
Once you have that, setting up a feedback loop should be easy enough.
>>339472531
Good luck anon, finished mine today and am gonna play the shit out of dark souls 3 for the first time.
Guys need help. My nord is missing 30 points off strength and endurance but he has no illness. Cant see any disease or anything. What do?
>>339472531
Godspeed, anon. I just torrented OB and started downloading mods. It's been years since I touched MW. I need to play it again. But I've never modded OB, so I'll probably be consumed by that for a while.
>>339489282
It got damaged by a Damage spell. Go to a tribunal shrine and get the Almsivi Restoration blessing.
Or use a restore attribute spell/potion.
>>339489549
And this is why Skyrim is the better TES game. How the fuck was I expected to figure this out?

>>339490321
>sped up
>this isn't slowed down
>>339490273
looks ok to me, but honestly even the most stupid builds are managable if you know what you are doing
but if you plan to minmax:
your mana pool as a nord probably wont support all those spellschools
im guessing you planning to use alteration for open spells (and shield, waterwalk etc) instead of security, high level locks might give you some trouble. Also no way to disarm traps, you need telekinesis to trigger remotely (mysticism) or security, or just suffer the damage since you are a bigguy
i would put block as a major, since it only increases when you block, and in minor its kinda shitty
no idea what illusion is for, for charming people speech is probably better, if you want it for paralysis you dont really have the mana for that and switching magic/weapons mid combat is painful
you dont need to paralize anyways since with high strength you knock down enemys and make the kowtow
thief is a crappy birthsign, 1 potion replaces it basicly, go for the best statboost one (lady or lover i dont remember)
if everything fails you can always jug down a couple sujamas for +strenght and oneshot everything
>>339491367
Thanks, this helped a lot!
Placed Block as a major now.
Illusion was for paralysis, since it worked so well in Oblivion. I'll give it up if strenght is enough then.
I'll just take the trap damage, since I'll have at least decent restoration.
What about Atronach as a sign then?
ince it gives me even extra resistance to magicka, and I'll have enough STR to carry lots of potions.
>>339492493
if you go atronach, remember that you can use shrines to refill your magicka
>>339490273
Almpst never major restoration. Minor it. Most useful restoration spells are pretty easy to use and don't cost a ton of mana so you can just use them again if they fail. Don't major enchant, especially if new. That basically means you are either going to enchant like crazy to grind enchant then break the game later or you are going to be pulled back by a major skill you never level. Minor it if anything, but really enchant requires a lot of dedication and it's usually better to use an NPC if you don't plan on going all out. I'd say don't even minor it. Alteration is cool though.
Illusion spells are usually costly and hard to cast. You need to make sure you level up illusion, probably with trainers, if you plan on casting those spells successfully. Paralyze isn't as bad as like invisibility though, but it still scales off Personality which you don't have much of so expect some time before you can cast anything. Maybe move acrobatics to major skills now that you have more slots so your acrobatics levels contribute towards strength during levelups. The Thief is probably not the best sign you could pick. The Steed will help with speed since you are always wearing heavy armor. The Apprentice will help with magicka since your pool is tiny and you want to use illusion. Warrior is always good. The Lady is downright powerful with +25 personality (for illusion) and +25 endurance (more HP per level). The Lover is also OK for its +25 agility boost for hit chance
Damn rats
>>339492849
>photobashing in fan art
>>339492609
That's good to know!
>>339492623
I'll take it into account. I switched restoration to minor and acrobatics to major and left enchanting out.
Is there a useful skill I'm missing? You both seem to advise againts illusion, so I can replace that with something else. What would be a good skill to add? Mercantile? Marksman? Mysticism?
the birthsign: Lady or Atronach?
Atronach seems pretty good and makes me even more tanky, but seems more like an option for experienced players.
Lady is also pretty good and seems more beginner-friendly, so I'm leaning towards that..
>>339492493
more of a problem is getting these potions - alchemists have a small stock of magicka regen ones typically, and they are quite costly at start
Have some Azura

Morrowind is an old game. MGE makes it run like shit on newer computers.
>>339492493
atronarch is gamey...
its powerful, a true minmaxers choice, it makes you laugh at mages, since they just refill your manapool with fireballs...
regular refilling is tricky: potions, shrines, or if you want to game the system then summon ancestor ghost, the most basic summon and attack it since it casts spells, or make a drain 100pt intelligence for 1 sec on self, since it zeroes your pool and when you get it back after a sec its filled
I want to add on to my post here with a question.>>339483762
How do I get passed tea doors without killing myself? Is it certain spells like disspell or something along security? Help the new N'wah out.

Use a probe or activate it from a distance with a Telekinesis spell.
>>339495272
i used it when the game came out, dunno if it had been patched out...
nowday i just use the fair magicka regen mod, and never play atronarch
Shitter who only played Skyrim here, I want to give Morrowind a try.
What can you guys tell me about the schools of Illusion and Conjuration in this game? I had a great time summoning and making people fight each other while invisible in Skyrim, but that was pretty limited. What are the options like in Morrowind, and how well do the command type spells work?
>>339495398
>Telekinesis triggers traps
That's pretty cool.
Oh, probe lock picks are for traps? I was wondering why that wasn't working. Thanks anon.>>339495398
>>339487607
It really isn't cheating. It's common sense. The only real way to enchant successfully is to have insane stats, which is what chain buffing or alchemy stacking is for. Enchanting left unbuffed is just for recharging items passively.
>>339493451
There are a few things you can do. First of all change your favored attribute from luck to something else. You could add to your strength or speed, or make up for low agility. Alternately you could expand your magicka pool with intelligence. (These favored attributes are just +10 to that attribute, that's all)
You don't have to get rid of illusion. Paralyze can be very powerful. So can Silence vs mages. You can opt for the Apprentice birthsign to raise your magicka pool to 75/ or 100 with int as a favored attribute. That's enough for a couple spells even in illusion. You could also go for the Atronach which turns you into more of an anti-mage. 50% spell absorption means half of spells will be negated and instead restore your magicka. Your magicka pool is also doubled to 80/120. The drawback is that you don't restore magicka by resting.
As for useful skills:
>Armorer
Useless if not grinding levels with
>Med/Light/un armor
You already have medium
>Axe/Spear/Blade/hand
You already have a primary weapon. I question the choice of longblade in minor skills too. You should focus on one
>Marksman
Your agility is too low to make use of this
>Destruction
Can be useful early on, but falls off later if not high level
>Conjuration
Can be fun on any character. Depends if you think it's fun
>Mysticism
Not for you
>Alchemy
Decent skill if you'll focus on it. Same deal as enchant but more useful early
>Security/sneak
Not a thief. Low agi
>merchantile/speech
speech OK as minor
>>339495812
>armorer
>useless
>>339494519
Because he opened the console, clicked the NPC, and typed
>setagility 9999
>setluck 9999
For all we know they cast a huge sanctuary spell on them too
>>339495982shoulda watched the webm before posting
>>339495969
It is famm. You could just use like 10 prongs to repair something with low armorer instead of 2 of them with high armorer. If your idea is you can repair broken stuff and sell it back for money, that's just contributing to breaking the game like alchemy or enchant, not really giving you anything of value in gameplay.
>>339493451
I'd go for apprentice over atronach for sure if you are new. The Lady if you're gonna keep illusion. The Lover if you aren't because it'll increase your chance to hit a fair bit. The Steed if you don't mind having a hard time hitting early on and want more speed instead.
Do you ever feel like all your characters end up being the same?
With so many skill slots but such a small array of skills, almost all of my classes end up being a Spellsword-dude who eventually becomes Mad Wizard-dude. I start making my class, pick a weapon and armor skill, and then it's just, okay, I'll start adding magic skills to take up slots because all I really need is that one weapon and armor.
Sure, there are technically lots of skills, but with the combat ones, there's no reason to use more than just 1 weapon and 1 armor. Whereas with magic, every skill is useful, even combined with others. Occasionally I'll try to role-play and add Speechcraft and Mercantile, but they just end up taking up a slot, and sit at low levels until I inevitably pay to train them up.
>Morrowind thread
>No one posts treasure rooms
You sicken me.
>>339495673
Conjuration is pretty powerful since NPC's will attack the thing closest to it. A resto, alteration, and conjuration buffing build should be pretty fun.
Idon't think the frenzy spell actually makes NPCs attack eachother, so that's a downer.

No, you sicken me. That better be the fake one.How do you have two Clavius Vile masks?

That's not Vivec's mask, it's some artifact from Rise of House Telvanni, I think.
Same with the Clavicus helmet. One of them is the real one, one of them is another item from some quest mod with different stats.

First timer here. What are the essential mods for Morrowind?
Wanna install it today but I'm playing on a toaster with WinXP, 2GB RAM and [email protected] so no tuning these graphics for me I'm afraid
>>339497359
>>339496443
So maybe try playing the game with pre-made classes?
>>339497389
check
>>339487747 and
>>339487601
with you stoneage pc graphics mods are out of question so you will get a full "vanilla" experience
>>339483043
>Cosades' sick pecs
amazing
>>339497359
>athletics as a class skill
>>339497695
Well that leads to the issue of having redundant skills. A lot of classes will have too many weapons or armor skills. More than one armor skill, you end up just using one, and the other just becomes a skill you pay to raise, essentially just paying for levels. Same when you have too many weapons.
>>339498046
I'm using a leveling mod so I don't have to think about fucking up my attribute point gain.
>>339496443
get a character concept and stick with it, EVEN when other options are better...
im currently doing a circe like thing, no weapons or destruction spells, no direct damage, only summons illusions mysticism alchemy and speechcraft
>>339496443
Not really. Race and Birthsign have ahuge affect on your characters. If you keep ending up with a spellsword it's because you're indecisive and always set up your characters to become one just in case.
>>339498263
which one?
