Morrowind thread?

I'm going to replay with the code patch. Should I remove the skill/level cap or will it potentially ruin the game?

Am I supposed to explore the entire colony in Gothic before moving on to Chapter 2? I am currently at level 8, but there are a few things I haven't been able to clear yet. Crypt with skellies, the orc camp (I've scouted that place from above, shit is huge), that fucking bridge with the goblins. The locked places like the cave with the skull entrance I assume are intentionally locked for now.

Also, of the regular enemies I can't really defeat Bloodhounds, Swampsharks, and whatever the fuck those huge hairy sabertiger things are yet. Thing is, I don't know if I'm supposed to be able to exterminate everything now and if they'll be replaced with something stronger once a new chapter starts.

So yeah, should I continue with the main quest, or finish up exploring first?

Also, what's the level cap?
>>
>>340206729
Not morrowind that's for sure.

My list:
Souls games
Bloodlines (the worst one on the list because of the combat)
Nocturne
FFT
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2

That's it, the rest is too flawed to put here.
>>
>>340206729
This, New Vegas/Fallout 1, VTMB, Deus Ex, BG2, KotOR 2, and maybe Age of Decadence, Daggerfall, BG1/PST, KotOR, Underrail, DivOS, and other assorted Black Isle/BioWare fare from '98 to '04.

You never did a quest or think there is only one ending or something you fucking retard ? It's more of a RPG than Divinity OS.
>>
>>340210374
There is a level cap but also there are no regularly respawning enemies so sooner or later you'll run out of EXP to earn. It's 50 as far as I know but I'm not sure about enemies respawning in between acts, only know that Risen does that.
>>
>>340211976
They're unconventional aRPGs. I wouldn't put them on any "best RPG" list, though, since the actual RPG mechanics are the most lacking parts of the game.
>>
>>340212421
I would say it's more of an RPG than morrowind, you can actually kill anyone on the game and your choices actually matter.
>>
>>340210374
Not the entire colony. There are some places (like the ones you mentioned) that are either closed off due to story elements or have enemies too tough for you to fight at that point.

IIRC I could beat Bloodhounds in Chapter 1 with some difficulty, but definitely not Swampsharks or Shadowbeasts (the sabertiger things), so don't worry about them right now. At the beginning of each chapter, +1 of an enemy is added to every "herd" in the world. Say for example, you kill off all the scavengers in one area in chapter 1, when you go back to that area in chapter 2, there will be one scavenger. Because of this, it's recommended that you kill everything you reasonably can during every chapter so as to not lose out on experience, but honestly I gave up on that around halfway through the game and didn't seem to be underlevelled at any point.

No idea what the level cap actually is, but I was at level 31 at the end of the game when I played it, and was able to comfortably finish the game.

>>340206729
Morrowind
KOTOR
Fallout NV
Baldurs Gate
Neverwinter Nights
Star Control 2 (don't look at me that way. Game is awesome.)
>>
>>340212454
>50
Huh, that's a lot. So getting to level 30 at least should be perfectly doable. That means I can max strength and still have enough points left to get to at least level 4 with magic with a reasonable pool of mana. That's cool. Thanks, anon.

I'm in the middle of my first run and I'm using it. I'm playing without any weapons without any gear except boots and pants, blazing through the game with fists only. I feel this build started to become OP once I hit over 100 str and hand to hand, now I drain every enemies entire stamina bar with a single punch while sprinting at ninja speed with both acrobatics and athletics over 100. I'm coming for you Dagoth Ur...

>>340206729
Final fantasy 6 and 7
SMT Series
Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2
FFT
Xenoblade
Soulsborne
Tales of the Abyss
Persona 3 & 4

That's it, don't bother with western shit, i don't know what's up with WRPGS and bugs,shit combat and uninspired settings, just avoid it.
>>
>>340212785
Thanks for the info, anon. This game is so great, I'm glad I decided to stick with it despite freaking out over the controls when I started. At first I couldn't really get into it, but with mastered one-handed combat finally has a very nice rhythm to it. I don't think I've ever enjoyed just going around fighting things this much in an RPG before.

Is FFT really that good? Already played Tactic Ogre: LUCT and have tried emulating FFT since then and it just doesn't seem to capture my interest like TO did. Should I just give it more time?

Man, such a disappointment. I really enjoyed it, the story was nice, the gameplay was fun, the characters were interesting. And then I get to the underground infinite demon spawning area where they'll kill your team in seconds and I just stopped. I must've spent 3 hours in that area and didn't even get half way through. Such a horribly paced area.

Holy shit, there's a lot of kids here. Seriously, check out the Gold-Box AD&D games. Champions of Krynn, and all the others in the Krynn series (featured in the world of Dragonlance, which is the GOAT setting for any rpg), the Savage Frontier series, which is where Neverwinter Nights started as an MMORPG via AOL in 1991.

What's with all the jrpgs getting recommends? Sure some are great, but you are missing out if all you play is the same cookie cutter JRPG.

GOD I want to like this game. I'm a big fan of the Risen games, but the control scheme for Gothic is too much for me to handle. How do you people do it? I can understand if you grew up with those kind of controls, but modern design has spoiled me.

Someone finally said it, thanks.

RPGs are not fucking video games, go play a real game you fucking idiots.

>>340215762
I'm still rather new to Morrowind, but this is how I did it:

Grab code patch so you increase your damage from strength, put your points into endurance, agility and strength, speed is also good. Also, grab restoration. Once you've made it past the first hour or so your h2h will be high enough to kill almost anything by just stunlocking it.

Sorry but Souls games are more RPG than your poser games.

About to play Morrowind for (basically) the first time. I know not to sperg out and attack with no stamina, what else do I need to know? Essential mods?

>>340216960
The Solstheim rumor mod and that mod that stops the Dark Brotherhood attacks until you've done the main quest.

Great soundtrack and rather sad

The PSP remastered version of FFT is the best version of the game imo.

>>340216623
Fun fact, I nearly gave up on the game because of the control scheme. I was staring at the "Do you really want to uninstall Gothic?" message for like 10 minutes before I decided that to hell with it, I'll remap that shit and get used to it somehow. And then it just happened.
