Let's get a comfy Morrowind thread up in this bitch.
I wonder if RPGs will ever have this autistic level of attention to details again
>>26816352
I doubt it. We need another game as detailed and autistic as Morrowind was.
I've been playing this for the first time with MO 3.0 and enjoying it a lot. The world is quite immersive, and it's really cool they've come up with a lot of original stuff for their fantasy world which was kinda lost when they went on to Oblivion and beyond. The combat isn't great obviously but now with a few more levels under my belt and better gear it's not as much of a drag.
Now I have still enjoyed all the stuff Bethesda's put out since then, but I don't understand how we got to Fallout 4 from this. How could you make something like Morrowind and then be satisfied with the direction you've taken with your next games? Did the money just become too tantalizing?
>>26816781
Money ruins everything.
>>26816781
That and popularity.
Morrowind was well received but RPGs were still aimed at a relatively small percentage of the population back then. Then came Oblivion with its next-gen graphics, everyone started to play them and everything went downhill after that.
>>26816235
I like to get high and play Morrowind.
I love Morrowind's theme!
It encompassess atmosphere of the game in a fantastic way. It's mysterious, magical and has this feeling of exploration to it.
It's funny how Skyrim's theme is basically the same composition yet it sounds so much more action oriented. Like a composition from a blockbuster Hollywood movie.
You could just listen to their themes and tell how both of these games look like.
>>26816235
Does anybody know a good place to live?
I'm currently living in a cave near Seyda Neen and I need somewhere more convenient to keep my shit.
>>26817670
If you do enough quests for one of the Great Houses, they'll give you a house.
>>26817740
I kinda need something right now. Having to keeping going back to Seyda Neen is getting annoying.
>>26817796
You can keep your stuff at the house of Caius Cosades, and he also lets you sleep there if I remember correctly.
>>26817821
His house is kinda shitty and having him there weirds me out lol.
>i haven't gotten that far in the main quest this playthrough
>>26817670
Balmora has a good starter house if you do a couple Fighters Guild quests. It'll serve you well until you need to leave.
>>26817901
Nigga, it's literally the first quest
>>26816235
Morrowind was a barely playable game, you're just a video game elitist.
Skyrim is vastly superior.
>>26817901
As someone else just mentioned, there's a house in Balmora with an orc in it named Dura Gra-Bol or something like that. It's a tall one right next to the canal. You can kill her and use her house with no consequence because she's a wanted person, and eventually the fighter's guild will give you a contract to bring her to justice anyway.
>>26817969
I meant that I haven't gotten to the part where he leaves.
>>26817969
When i first played Morrowind I logged 200 hours before I ever realized I had to go see Caius Cosades in Balmora. my brother started asking me about the main quests and I had no clue what he was referring to
>>26818027
I'm not really a huge fan of the houses in Balmora. They all look very similar. Something closer to the center of the map would be nice.
>>26817901
You don't have to worry about him raping you in the ass during sleep anon, skooma has made him impotent a long time ago
>>26818234
The center of the map is literally the least reachable area
Just install a house mod if you're so picky, there are dozens of them
>>26817670
There's this woman in Caldera named Surane Leoriane and I liked her house so I killed her and took it
Turns out she's a minor part of an optional Blades trainer quest but she's not needed to advance in the game so fuck it.
Every time I replay it one of the first things I do is go kill her and take her house again. I like Caldera a lot, it's comfy as fuck for some reason and the Scamp is in town for unloading items for gold
>>26818321
Caldera's pretty ugly tho. Does anybody know some good city enhancement mods?
>>26818234
Balmora IS the center of the map guy. In addition to being the town that is actually geographically closest to the map's center, all silt striders get there in one or two trips. If Balmora doesn't feel like home to you, then the game's charm is lost on you.
Awesome skybox.
>>26820230
Woops, I meant this one.
I also really like how the game is actually dark so you needa use torches sometimes, or I actually sleep sometimes if I don't wanna travel at night.
>>26820230
The water looks pretty nice in this game.
>>26820272
I really miss this in games, like I remember carrying a bundle of torches with me when I went dungeon crawling in dwarf ruins and stuff because there weren't just eternal candles everywhere. I mean there sort of were but still. I ended up making a constant effect light enchantment on a necklace.
Telvanni wizard towers always felt so perfect and comfy on mage playthroughs too. "Wizards don't use stairs" so if you want to go up you have to levitate. Would have been nice to see in skyrim, some secret wizard tower on an unreachable mountain top that you have to levitate super high to get to. The ten thousand steps or whatever are a fucking cakewalk by comparison.
>Swimming? What do I look like, a mundane? I use water walking like any respectable god would.
>>26820902
It does.
>>26821061
Yup. Another game that does it quite well is STALKER, particularly Shadow of Chernobyl (though I do always have it even darker with mods).
>>26821136
Nigga. What mods are you using to make your game look like that? I never really got into modding.
>>26822094
see
>>26816612
but here's a link anyway. It wasn't hard to set up and it's only this one mod that does everything which is nice. Has a lot of options too, you'll need a decent PC though. My 280x, i5 3470 and 8GB of RAM at 1080p do the job at 60fps with dips at times however.

No because now we have things like "spoken dialogue" and "proper combat mechanics" which create actual depth so there is no need to things that provide at best superficial depth.
who /SoultrapGlitch/ here?
>tfw you have permanent 20k strength, endurance, willpower
>tfw you can temporarily set your speed to 600 whenever you please
>tfw it still takes too goddamn long to walk anywhere
best game ever

I jump everywhere.
