>>340161384
You never noticed that you were gaining athletics and started moving faster?
Morrowind is Sonic-tier fast.
>>340161505
I guess, marginally faster. I dunno, I can't deny that it's a very atmospheric game but I get the feeling it's something you kinda had to grow up with

Classic Morrowind thread
Whats the best way to play morrowind now?
OpenMW?
Default MW runs like single threaded ass.
>>340161384
>I can't figure out
It is recommended to be at least 15 years if age before playing Morrowind for the first time
>>340161384
A great tip in general is to check enchanting npcs for cheap items. Some enchanted items can greatly help you and often cost like 8-20 gp. the mages guild in balmora is a good place to start
>>340161384
git
gud
>>340161384
Morrowind is a huge contrast to the later games in the sense that it doesn't hold your hand and you're probably gonna need the wiki at your side.
As more you learn about the game, the better it gets. Nothing feels more satisfying than making the game your bitch and turning into the ultimate fuck shit upper of everything.
You just don't get that in newer TES games.
Also, I recommend playing a mage on one play through or another. Magic in morrowind is peculiar in the sense that it goes beyond just combat.
I can't blame you for not getting into it OP cause I've been having trouble with it for YEARS. But it honestly is worth it.
>>340162678
I did pick the steed sign though, cos I had heard about the slowness thing before
On an unrelated note is Nehrim good?
>>340164986
Yes, but its attached to Oblivion so your mileage may vary.
>>340165146
Does it make things like magic fun? Thats what I plan on running my first time through.
>M-Morrowind combat really is great guyz!!!! :D
>>340163579
In all honesty the supplemental magic is a lot more fun to screw around with rather than any combat spells. Using alteration to jump over red mountain is the tits
>>340161701
Yep. Gotta go fast
>>340161701
People complaining about being slow are probably not ready for the high-end. It actually becomes hard to control once you've been playing a long time, have base max speed, max athletics, and a bunch of stuff constantly buffing you. Especially if you go unarmored like I did. And really why wouldn't you if you're already strong enough.

There is a popular mod somewhere that increases walk/run speed. Also what quest are you talking about that takes you to the other side of the map? Besides silt striders, there are boats that go circle around the coast, mages guild teleportation for major cities, and limited teleportation spells as well as levitation/super jump.
Morrowind is a hostile environment with obscure systems and mechanics but if you can be patient and pay attention you will master it.
>>340163579
>You just don't get that in newer TES games
True, newer Elder Scrolls simply hold your hand and lack that complex sandbox feel where you can truly experiment with game mechanics.
I've replayed Mass effect 1 more times than 2 and 3 because the latter editions became more streamlined in game mechanics.
>>340166095
I remember hearing that orcs are unnaffected by the blindness effect of the boots of blinding speed, is that true?
I don't see any OB threads, so I'll just ask this here. Are there any mods that make the OB dialogue menu similar to the one from MW? I'm playing Morroblivion and the menu is really annoying.
>>340165935
German version is releasing in July. No ETA yet for English translation. Tempted to just try out the German version haha.
seen this same thread yesterday never change /v/
>>340166595
Exactly, that's why i love morrowind, in spite of all the broken mechanics it has aswell
>told that combat is the easiest part of the game, so make a warrior for my first character
>see a dark elf who looks ugly
>manual says YOU CAN DO ANYTHING so I decide to kill him
>this happens
>>340161384
Could be that your equip burden is slowing you down. Raise STR and store any spare items in a house
Raising speed and athletics will further boost your speed
If it's still too slow, try making a custom class with Speed & Strength as favored attributes and maybe even pick the Steed birthsign
As for the missing, keeping your stamina full really helps. Try restore fatigue rings, spells or potions
>decide to roll a mage

OP here, I posted that story in an unrelated thread a few days ago to b8 people but I made a fatal error in calling Balmora "the first town" (I forgot about Seyda Neen) and everyone focused on that. I said it then and I'll say it now, that is my genuine first experience with Morrowind but I do actually like the game
>decide to roll a thief

Look at the first one again
I downloaded the GOG verson on Windows 10 and "mortowind stopped working" error made me drop the game. Every 10-15 minutes it quits the game and once I forgot to quicksave and didn't want backtrack twice. It's a shame I enjoyed it as I mentally prepared for the gameplay mechanics. Do you know have to repair it? I run it as an administrator and it didn't help at all.
>>340170913
>Windows 10
Fucking kill yourself, there is no other solution.
>>340167247
I genuinely enjoyed the German in Nehrim. Felt a lot like playing Gothic.
I wish TES combat wasn't so flaily
Somehow feels even worse in Oblivion and Skyrim, I guess because there's even less going on without the RNG
>>340162678
S2 when?
>>340172204
They made it less based on your character skills in hard encounters and more about damage sponging. Even with a top tier weapon in Oblivion and max skills, you still feel kinda weak. In Skyrim you just stealth and one shot everything.
>>340162678
>picking anything but Atronach
It's like you're actually trying to gimp your character.
>>340166887
No, the blind effect just becomes less severe because of their magicka resistance. Same for Bretons.
>>340171481
hahhahahahaaha but for real, I really want to play it.
Will a nonGOG version work?
>>340173447
pls
>>340173447
No idea man. I'm using the GOG version on windows 7 and I barely have any crashes. Especially after installing MCP and MPP.

>"fatigue"
If you can't concentrate for more than a couple of seconds at a time, you have crippling ADHD.
>>340176016
I think those might just be the standard high elf weaknesses. He probably just went mage and decided to demonstrate that mages are bad at lockpicking without magic
>>340174994
I don't know. As I said, if you're using W10, your best bet is killing yourself.

>it actually succeeds once
That's the most shocking part.
>>340176173
Pretend that you are exhausted from having run as far as you could. Your heart is pounding, you are gasping for every breath so that you can ease the burning in your arms and legs. Tell me that you would be able to perfectly recite a complex spell while also performing the proper hand motions and drawing forth the magical energies perfectly. Everything is more difficult to do while exhausted or winded, out of breath. That's why fatigue factors in to so many things in Morrowind. It has nothing to do with 'attention spawn'.

never use WIKI.. just fucking not be retarded and you will be fine. The whole point of the game is to explore.
You people always need your fucking hands held some fucking how. if not by the game, then by the internet.
>>340172658
>implying you need atronach at all
There's so many different ways to gain magicka that it's practically 1930's german currency.
>>340176325
H-hiro? Is that you?
>>340177125
In concept its okay.
In execution, its just a low-level irritation mechanic. Slowed down movement speed (to make the world seem larger than it is) and fatigue that means you can't gently jog for very long is just bad.
>>340177191
kek
>>340177490
>implying anyone picks Atronach for the extra magicka
>>340169386
Not every smoke is fast
>>340177885
The game was meant to be played slow. Same as old Diablo. Old Diablo was a dungeon crawler, now it's an action rpg loot pinata. I can totally respect someone for saying "hey I don't like this mechanic." But I don't think saying "this game is objectively shit because I hate X" is a statement that should be taken more seriously than an opinion. Morrowind was meant to be taken slow by almost anyone but someone who specializes in game breaking mechanics or athletic, acrobatic machines. It's not fast paced, which certain people, maybe even most people don't like. That's fine, but I don't understand why people shit on a game style that many people enjoy because it's not their cup of tea. The reason why we have Oblivion and Skyim is because Morrowind was so well received. There's a reason for that.
>>340161384
>people still make threads about missing
It's such stale bait at this point that I'd have thought people would find something new by now.
>>340175852
Vivec was literally the best Tribunal and no one can disagree.
>>340179106Some bait never gets stale.
>>340179738
>>340179106
Yeah, I missmiss miss miss miss miss miss miss.
>>340167835
This is why i've never been abl e to play this game.
>hurrdurr you just don't understand it
I fucking understand it, that doesn't make it not shot. If I can physically see myself hitting something, I should fucking hit it. Chance based combat in first person games is wank.
>>340161384
So, I rebooted Morrowind and started a new char, pure warrior, after my first bad exp, after getting annoyed with the whole "U NEED TO ROLL A BETTER CHARACTER" meme, despite doing so the first time.
>Good
I'm having a lot of fun. Redguard warrior swordsman with the Warrior sign and tons of stamina, not missing so much now that I pay attention to skills and agility, and I'm already a monster in combat. That random wizard on the bridge near Balmora was a walk in the park compared to my first time with him. On top of that, I already have a huge suit of steel armor, along with 5-6000 gold pieces after I learned how to abuse the barter system, and I've only just gotten to level 3!
But I still have some problems.
>Bad
The walking speed is absolutely atrocious. I don't care if you can level it up or use spells, it should be at a decent speed at the beginning.
Cartoony sound effects.
Music is kind of sleepy, boring compared to Oblivion and Skyrim.
The interface makes it hard to find anything in your inventory, with the tiny icons, dark background and how it's not a list, but a box with tons of tiny icons you have to hover over to learn what they are. Plus, playing around with multiple windows at the same time is more clunky than just switching them with a button like in most RPGs.
Dialogue and choices are shit. Just finished the Fighter's Guild sidequest with the Code Book. Is that it? Will we ever go into the corruption of the Balmora chapter? I thought joining the Thieves Guild would have helped me get it more easily, but even after I did that and bribed her to maximum influence, she still wouldn't give it to me.
Still fucking around, a bit. I'd like to try again with magic, my Breton Battlemage had trouble with simple spells, and I heard it's impossible to use stealth since the NPCs are always stationary.
>>340161739
I think you didn't give it though time anc refused to explore or challenge yourself, so you came kn here and made this green text about a premise someone might accept could be a criticism of Morrowind.
>Oh just an innocent victim unaware of what I'm doing wrong that has been taken for a ruse cruise by this game and it's biased fanbase
Thankfully we're not in Reddit and I can just call you a retarded child who refuses to learn and thinks being shit at the game is valid criticism. I had an easier time playing when I was 11, without internet.
What can be the cause for my weapon to hit less and less (the red bar under the weapon getting smaller with every level I gain in longswords). 61 longswords 63 strenghts, weapon is a silver longsword. The bar is around 15% red now, why?
>>340161384
>>make a character, imperial knight
Join the Imperial Legion, the Fighters Guild, possibly House Redoran if RPing isn't that important for you.
Do the quests for one of the factions until they get too hard. Go to the next faction and repeat.
Use silt striders, Mage Guild teleporters, boats, devine/almsivi intervention spells, Mark/recall spells (Balmora temple basement), for moving around larger distances.
If something is really far away and it seems like too much of an effort: do another quest.
>>340180371
Also, I should mention that, even though missing with my longsword isn't a problem anymore, the walking speed is still terrible.
>>340162678
You shouldn't have to choose an unchangeable stat for a character to compensate for a major design flaw.
>>340162638
>not using silt striders, guild guides, and boats
How is that different from fast travel?
Can you be a member of more than just one guild at once? I just arrived to Balmora and this is my first playthrough. Wanted to play as spellsword, but I'm not sure if I should rather join fighters or mage guild.
>>340180505
I'm not going to defend morrowinds problems but fuck me m8 you're retarded.

>>340180932
come on now. I've been using this shit steel longsword and after switching to silver my hitrate issue was solved. FAG
>>340161384
Fuck off back to your pleb games OP, literally no one cares
>>340180893
Please respond
>>340180371
You can take off your armor and dump inventory to go faster a bit, but honestly you can't expect to be great at everything right away. If your Athletics isn't very high, and it shouldn't be you can find a trainer and get several levels in it and also level up your speed 5 points each levelup.
>>340181905
Yes, you can.
I have a shitload of morrowinds map unexplored
Gonna go exploring like crazy at level 20 for the first time.
>>340180893
You can be a member of both of those guilds. But doing so many quests for the Fighters Guild cuts you off from the Thieves Guild
>>340182049
>>340182120
Alright great, thank you my dudes
>>340180371
>stealth is impossible
just get a 80%+ chameleon spell and nobody sees you, ever.
>>340182025
Right, I was still slow before I got all the armor.
Again, walking speed should be at a decent pace, and while the opportunity to level it to high speeds is cool, you shouldn't start out moving around like a snail. Hell, even the running speed is unbearably slow. Oblivion and Skyrim got that right, at least.
Where is the caldera mine? These assholes at Caldera are misleading me.It's not int the southwest
>>340182505
Nah your character is a shitty out of shape prisoner scrub not a otherworldly master athlete that can sprint in a hundred pounds of steel. Earning it is right.
>>340182364

Also, here's a good video on the subject.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEI4yS7sFEw
>>340182587
It can be kind of hard to find but it's way closer to Caldera then you think, like on the other side of a mountain
Don't worry OP. I couldn't stand to beat this game without console cheating my speed and hit chance to reasonable levels.
Those really detract from thr game immensely.
>>340163579
Good advice, but I would say to save the wiki for second playthrough. Morrowind is a game full of wonder, and it sucks to be spoiled.
>>340183609
>>340182735
Found it, thank you. I searched around the entrance which led me to the ashen something, so that was the mistake.
>>340183467
Get the Amulet of Shadow, don't need any magic skills to use that and it gives you 80% Chameleon for 1 minute.
Makes the rest of the game trivial.
>>340161384
Maybe major in speed and choose the horse birthsign if speed is your problem? Are you sure you aren't stuck in walk mode?
>>340161384
Does Tamriel Rebuilt work with Overhaul 3.0?
>>340180371
Stealth is only impossible if you aren't a dedicated sneak or aren't using enchantments. The actual thief builds in this game are fairly enjoyable.
>>340167939
An orc mage wow do you know nig nogs cant magic good?
>>340177463
nobody is telling you you read up all the quests, dickweed
>>340180862
It's more tedious, because first you have to find one of those things, then you have to pay for it, then you have to slowly walk to your actual destination, because usually those fast travel methods don't go to where you actually want to go. Also, you often have to use more than one service, meaning you have to find and pay for each one. Plus, you have to figure out exactly how the travel network works and what travel service goes where so you don't waste your time and money on things that won't help you get where you want to go.
Tedium is immersive.
