Oh good a Morrowind thread. Decided to play it again and to throw on some mods this time. What are some good ones? Especially in the draw distance department.

This here post is so retarded that I just have to reply to it. I hope you're in this thread.
Of course it's my(and his, the second post was a different anon) fucking opinion. What the FUCK else could it possibly be?
Is there a modding guide for graphics that is not horribly outdated? the one tesg references (the knots guide) is filled with dead links and corrupted archives
i want to replay it again, but I with actually nice visuals this time
>>340510738
Don't forget about installing the fixes for that pack.
>>340511442
What would those be?
I reinstalled this game and set out to make fortify intellect potions
After four or five hours I'd gotten to balmora and did the mage guild quests there
I left for ald ruhn or whatever the fuck and quit on the way there because the game is really fucking boring man I wish it wasn't

>STILL 8 fps in outdoors and 15 or so indoors
Okay I need some help here. What can I do to get decent fps?
With a game as old as Morrowind (2002!?) it’s not just a case of brushing up the textures a bit. “You go back and look at it. Do you remember the dialogue system in Morrowind?” points out Hines. “Do you remember what it was like talking to someone and scrolling through this long list of questions. You put that out for someone that just finished Skyrim and they’re going to be like ‘What in the hell…?’”
Can we just kill everyone over there?

Good, faggots. I fucking hate Dunmer
Bunch of fucking assholes from deserve every bit of scorn they getshame the voice actor for Dunmer in Morrowind got like, throat cancer because of the preformance
>>340516107
Better than the Lawful Neutral Breton Assassin I got before.
>>340516286
That sounds like you'd be playing as one of those Morag Tong guys, though they can just as easily be seen as Lawfull Evil
>>340514390
while that guy is a retard, the dialogue in morrowind was undeniably bad, the wiki style is jarring and annoying, and the threaten/bribe/compliment or whatever it was system to raise relations is the most asinine crap ever, and somehow they made that aspect even worse in oblivion
My game is slowly turning completely furry and I don't think I can stop it, only increase the speed.
>Morrowind Combat

>>340516536
>and somehow they made that aspect even worse in oblivion
What? Don't like playing a stupid minigame to make people like you?
But yeah I agree with the idea that the keyword system was pretty bad. Where it felt like 90% of the words were useless. I wish they looked it over and see how to make everything easier to manage but instead they threw the whole thing out the window. Just making everything so dumb down. And somehow Oblivion is massively complex than Skyrim.

Is OpenMW recommended? I mean, can I use it if I want a vanilla experience? Does it has bugs or change the game in a significant way?

>>340517926
mgso mainly, but if you need performance then stick with openmw, since it utilizes properly modern multicore cpu-s
>>340516128
I should be surprised, but I'm not.

>>340516536
>the wiki style is jarring and annoying
Really it's the Fallout style of "type in a term," but with all known terms always available. It's actually really orthodox, especially for RPGs of the time. They just have a nice chat log for you to scroll back in, convenient highlighted terms to automatically ask about, and a big list of known keywords that tell you at a glance what an NPC knows.
>>340519884
it made NPC's feel like those information stands, or whatever those things for tourists are called, which you see in big cities
>>340519249
I let him go, didn't see any reason not too
>>340509108
Seyda Neen
Dunmer
Telvanni
It can't be helped. The game gave the players so much tasty dunmer lore.
>>340518448
Thank you.
>>340520097
>it made NPC's feel like those information stands
That's because you must not have played older RPGs so you don't remember what it was like. The old mechanic is mostly preserved in Morrowind but with extremely convenient controls.
Used to be you could ask almost anyone about common knowledge, but you might not know which search terms the game will accept. The first part makes realistic sense, the latter part does not.
Daggerfall's system was pretty similar to Morrowind, but it was by far harder to navigate. Both were innovations.
>>340519249
Do you speak to NPCs before killing them? I usually just open the dialogue window to see if they could give me quests and if not I just kill them on the spot
>>340520590
>The old mechanic is mostly preserved in Morrowind but with extremely convenient controls.
Doesn't make it any less shit.
>>340520856
It's good because it makes logical sense and it's easy to use. Can you find me a better example of a game where you can ask normal civilians about a wide variety of topics they would realistically know?
>>340515320
Rolling faggots
>>340521161
Imperial assassin, so far not bad. Second roll
>>340520590
>hat's because you must not have played older RPGs so you don't remember what it was like.
maybe, my first rpgs was neverwinter nights, I then went back and played planescape and such, but never played daggerfall, might and magic or any of the really old stuff
>>340521635
NWN is a bit past the threshold for that. Bioware games use the more recognizable, modern dialogue trees. Games like the older TES are more like tabletop game simulators that appeal to realism and player choice moreso than writing a personality into your character.
What you're doing isn't part of the story, it's usually just asking for information. This functionality is more important than presenting your character's personality.
>>340521005
>realistically
Well they wouldn't be information boards for one.
I love morrowind, the original graphics don't bother me at all. It's the dialogue that breaks immersion for me out of everything.
>>340522535
>Well they wouldn't be information boards for one.
But they aren't, that's just the purpose they serve to an adventurer. People know things.
>After I kill you I will rape your corpse. Don't worry, I'll be gentle.
>A terrible place, I've heard. There's a boat there from Krull, if you've any reason to go.
Give me a good build faggots, or the roulette chart.
>>340509108
I'm waiting to play Skywind because I'm a Skyrim babbie. I did however knock out all the Fighters guild quests on vanilla Morrowind. It really is a unique and cool game, I just can't stand the thought of missing on a connecting hit, even if it only happens rarely and I'm properly specc'd with Agi/Str. Just ruins my immersion.
>Town
Bal Mora. Reminds me of Mos Eisly if Tatooine was a swamp planet.
>Race
Orc. My first real RPG was WoW and I played an Orc shaman. (For those who don't know Shaman in Warcraft usually carry a Mace/Shield and cast Nature based magic).
>Great House?
Damn Milkdrinker.
I'm really hoping for any hint of a GOOD Elder Scrolls game at E3. No more ESO. No more Card Game Trash. Nobody want's that. Someone needs to slap Bethesda and remind them that they arn't Blizzard.
>>340509108
>balmora
I had a good place to stay over there.
>dunmer
I actually hated them all, I just picked the one that looked less retarded.
>Great house
I don't remember, I hated those quest.
I miss traveling around looking for a house I liked to keep my shit and killing the owner.
Bloodmoon was the tits.I never played tribunal
is MGSO the only way to improve graphics without spending ages looking for links that still work? I had a several years old installation with a host of both graphics and gameplay mods and lost it all, now I cant find most of the stuff

Playing Tribunal now, it's pretty underwhelming.
>>340515320
Rolling, why not.
>>340524416
Tribunal is definitely underwhelming. Has some nice additions, but on the whole it's nothing special.
Bloodmoon is great though.
>>340515320
Rolling twice, why not.
>>340524538
>>340524445
I can understand a vampire acrobat, but why the magic shit?
>>340524416
It has its moments/ Like the Crimson Plague quest and Black Dart gang.
>>340523014
>It really is a unique and cool game, I just can't stand the thought of missing on a connecting hit
But it's not a connecting hit. It's just that the dodging/parrying/blocking/whatever animation isn't there. Use your imagination.
>>340509108
>Ald'ruhn
The dust storm is cool to me, the dead crab shell buildings are cooler than giant mushroom houses.
>Nord
No particular reason, I actually find TES race selection be rather boring, Vikings are cool, so I guess Nords are cool? Whatever
>Redoran
Hlaalu are jews and Telvanni are slave owners, so Redoran wins by default.

So did sotha sil upload his brain to his city or some shit? Because he has all those wires going into his head, and dialogue from both azura and almalexia seem to imply he wasnt even really aware his body had been killed. He already looked part cyborg so i dont think its too far of a stretch to think he managed to upload his consciousness to a computer somewhere.
