Should I install Morrowind again, /v/?
I always wanted to play a proper mage, but I don't know which race/skill combo is best.
Morrowind thread, I guess.
>>259596551
Yes
>>259596551
Perhaps
>>259596551
Mage is the best way to play Morrowind.
>More movement options with flying and teleportation
>That spellcrafting system
>Best Great House
>Not lugging around heavy weapons and armor
>Alteration and skill buffs letting you do pretty much anything
There is literally no reason to not play a mage.
>>259598896
Actually Morrowind is the best TES game to play a mage in. Oblivion and Skyrim killed mages.
So yeah OP, definitely give it a go. I finished the game 3 times with a mage.
>>259599461
I agree, best game to play a mage (if unmodded). Sorry for deviating a bit, but as to make mage more interesting in Skyrim, there's the Apocalypse Spell Package, that contrary to its name, is the only relatively balanced spells mod to the game (last time I checked, one spell did not work properly but all the rest was pretty nice). That with a couple other mods to modify mechanics like you prefer them, and mages are fun again (like, higher skill increases damage, not that stupid reduced cost thing)
>>259598896
>There is literally no reason to not play a mage
You mean other than not wanting to abuse enchanting/alchemy to not be useless in the lategame?
I am playing it again, started it yesterday.
The last time I played it my computer got fucked up and I lost my save, it was a long time ago and I am starting again until now.
I remember that I found some sweet ass daedric katana y some egg mine, somebody remembers which mine was it in?
>>259599461
Mages are fine in Oblivion, granted that I play with OOO which revamps the levelling pretty heavily.
>>259600180
Not that guy, but if you can't resist the temptation of the dark side and fall for the arcane of game-exploit, then yeah, don't play mage. You've got to do it and exploit at least once though.
>>259600180
spellswords do better than warriors tho
even without abusing the int singularity mages do just fine tho
>>259600417
Mages are fine in Oblivion and Skyrim if you mod it, but we're talking unmodded here m8.
Anyway, in my opinion mages are pretty shit in all TES games when unmodded.
>>259596551
I did the exact same thing a couple of years ago.
Played a sorcerer, house telvanni and mages guild. (yeah, I mixed things up)
Played as dark elf though. Seemed nice for a sorcerer, got some boosts that help, and don't get any shitty negatives from the High Elves.
Hate the bretons, so that wasn't even a possibility.
>>259600545
Well yeah.
Magic in Morrowind is kinda funny in the way that every character benefits from having a few skills from it like waterwalking/opening doors/levitate/etc, but if you want to go full 100% mage you're gonna suffer until you learn how to make OP potions and enchants.
>>259600554
>Those shit spells in Skyrim
Taking away the spellcrafting system was the worst thing they could ever do.
>>259600828
Also, playing as sorcerer was by far the most entertaining game I had in Morrowind.
The magic system is great in Morrowind, and it felt really satisfying conjuring a ton of stuff for fights.
>>259600878
Magic in Skyrim is viable.
It's just shit, being a warrior is more fun and being a warrior is literally spamming click and watching your character do retarded animations.
>>259601180
Only if you go conjuration or abuse enchantments. Destruction scales like shit in Skyrim, making it useless late game.
>>259601440
So, like Morrowind then?
>>259601582
In Morrowind, you could at least make your own powerful destruction spells. You're stuck with what they give you in Skyrim, and what they give you is shit.
>>259601180
I got combat to be interesting for me in Skyrim (quite an ordeal, right?)
I just added more equipment (Immersive Armor and Immersive Weapons), made bows more deadly, added the Apocalypse Spell package, the ACE perks, the mod that lets NPCs use modded perks and spells (ASIS I think), and finally DEADLY COMBAT and LOCATIONAL DAMAGE. With that, close combat finally is interesting, and fighting more than two opponents at once is a real nightmare (in a good way). Violent, gritty, fast-paced, skill-rewarding combat.
>>259601756
Yeah, you can.
Good luck using them on any enemy with a single bit of reflect %
The best DD spell is absorb health because you can bug it and make reflect a non-issue and it's a mysticism spell
>>259596551
Magic, overall, is powerful in Morrowind. In particular the enchantment school is overpowered. It can basically mimic all the other powers and abilities and you don't need to use your own MP for spell like abilities. It is difficult to make a pure high end destruction mage, the more powerful spells just drain your MP too quickly. And a good enchanter can get that same fireball for free with a good ring.
>>259600000
nice numbers
>>259596551
OpenMW is hitting 1.0 soon. If you can deal with not having MGE it's a good chance to start again.
>>259600000
quints confirm Skyrim > Morrowind
>>259603505
>soon
>>259603702
Only one more version to go till it's feature complete. Granted the performance is still absolute shit, even with everything turned down.
>>259603838
And whats the point?
Once it's complete, it will be like vanilla Morrowind, whats all the fuss about.
>>259604017
Once it's done feature-wise, it can be extended to natively include shaders, better animation support, extended gameplay modding etc.
From the get go it's cross platform.
>>259601440
It scales like shit in all of them. After you get to a certain point you can't make your spells as strong as you can enchanted weapons. My major complaint with skyrim is that they oversimplified the fuck out of the magic system, which had been one of the best before. I was hoping they would have improved from Oblivion and just allowed you to create whatever spells you wanted to and with better settings to tweak, but they just blocked off any and all spellmaking. Magic Perk trees also have like double the perks, and don't even become useful until you are too high a level for them to be effective. You have to choose between magic or stamina which handicaps the shit out of a mage. Skyrim ruined the magic system that made TES so great.
>>259604473
I hope enough modders come back to really make it worth it
Whats the best Elder Scrolls game for Unarmed fist asswhoopings
>>259605187
There's still a fair number of diehard Morrowind modders still around. Not expecting miracles but I hope someone does something.
>>259605345
Morrowwind I would say, but you can do it oblivion too.
>>259605345
oblivion probably. I did a kidney punching khajiit run a while back. Tons of fun once you get your sneak high enough.

>>259608589

>>259596551
the race/skill combo isn't going to matter much in the long run. Altmer with alteration and shit as majors should be an obvious best, but it really isn't going to matter later.
Start off by grabbing levitate, open, waterwalk, and any other standard spells from the balmora mages guild. Use them every chance you get to get those levels up, and use the majority of your cash on spellcrafting and training.

>>259608589
i would like to play a Khajiit in my next run but even the best mods can't make them look any less shit, specially the males.
like, can't anyone just replace that head completely?
I finally get my speed, acrobatics, and athletics to 100. Start thinking I can travel freely. But no, suddenly my speed and acrobatics make me alert every god damn cliff racer in the region. And I can not out run them. They will not stop chasing.
If I try to ignore them, they just get stuck in my character model and their sound starts glitching, until I hear them screech over and over, all the sounds stacking. It's horrible.
>>259609787
This is the closest I've been able to get to a skyrim style. The heads just have such shitty polygons, theres no way to get a nice texture going on them.
I hope mackom makes argonian and khajiit heads eventually.
>>259600519
Exploiting is the point. Of course you gotta restrict yourself a little to keep having fun with it, but the point is CHIM
>>259610309
Once you play for a few weeks you develop an immunity to the screeches.
>>259609787
You have to stick with vanilla-esque heads or else you'll never be close to satisfied.
>>259601881
Monitoring this thread.
They are. Adding ASIS and increasing the NPC spawn makes nightmare mode on steroids.
The next fantast game I play will be the witcher series. I'm done with TES for now.
>>259610403
imo this cheetah-like head is the one that looks the most like the skyrim one in terms of proportions, mostly the eyes.
what needs to be done to fix them is actually change the proportions so they don't have a round, long skull.
Am I the only one who hates some of these texture replacers because they ruin the atmosphere of the game? Particularly the one that replaces a lot of generic land and building textures.
>>259612312
theres some bad ones out there. The ones in the overhaul are mostly accurate. Ground textures are still really bad. I've yet to find any good ground textures.
>>259612874
Those eyes are looking pretty weird.
>>259613535
it really is, eyes aren't that far apart in vainilla models

but what if there's no mages or daedra flinging spells at you?
also vs melee: sanctuary or shield?
>>259610309
even with 300 speed they still keep up with you. either make a ring with AoE damage or constant effect invisibility
>>259615923

I prefer sanctuary. Shields never seemed effective to me.

Low fps, stuttering, and the vanilla graphics. Make it happen. Be our hero.
when's the best time to take on the expansions? ive never even beat vanilla MW even tho ive got the GOTY edition. can i wait til after the main quest, or is it best to just dive into them at the start, or halfway or w/e?
>>259618521
Because of TES' shitty combat the difficulty is either stupidly easy or artificial difficulty and no in between
BOO
>>259619032
I dunno about Tribunal but Bethesda themselves said you shoud be at least level 30 before doing Bloodmoon
>>259596551
yes you should
>>259619032
Expansions are still a challenge after beating the main quest. I'd say around when you get to the Hortator/Nerevarine quests (2/3 thru the main quest, I guess?) you can start handle the expansion content.
>>259619336
>picking pig children

>It better be vanilla
No can do
>>259619487

>>259619032
>>259619216
Bloodmoon is relatively easy. The only really hard quest is the last one where you are pitted against shitloads of werewolves that hit like trucks and have hp like Dagoth Ur himself.
>>259619620
but the vanilla would go so great with the stuttering.
>>259619032
The monsters in tribunal's sewer are pretty hard if you aren't at least level 20. I did it at 15 on my first playthrough and had some major issues, but as a level 22 on subsequent playthrough it was alright.
Bloodmoon is easier in general, but the last areas are batshit insane unless you're in the upper 30s.
And the lore assumes that you've already finished the mainquest.

>>259619951
Yeah do them after Sixth Trial.
It's fun to spawn yourself (placeatpc playersavegame 1,1,1) and start a fight. Especially if you have lots of spells. Your clone will just start casting different spells without any logic. Even if he can't succeed, and tries to summon Golden Saints over and over.
And if he does summon something, it will just start to attack him.
Don't loot his corpse, though, you'll crash the game.

He's easy to skip. After doing most of the tedious but interesting main quest, you get to Ghostgate and most of the npcs have very little to say.

In vanilla you can get a perk to dual cast which stunlocks anything. It's impossible not to win.
Thing is, anything's viable in Skyrim eventually.

Sermons are great and all but there are better written or more informative things out there
Sermons is basically
>Vivec talks about how awesome he is and tries to sort of teach you how to be awesome like him THE BOOK
>>259622769
Restoration gives you the Fortify Stat and Fortify Skill spells, though you'll need to travel to Mournhold to buy a spell for Fortify Skill. Fortify Skill is great for enchanting, you can just make yourself a ring of Fortify Enchant 500 for 2 seconds and make anything without grinding for souls, though you have to watch out for energy costs since they're calculated at your current stat so it'll be 1 for everything.
Illusion gives you Invisibility(invisible until you actually do anything, good for sneak attacks), Chameleon(partial invisibility up to 100, but stays on even when you pick things up or pick locks, making robbing a breeze) and Sanctuary(Avoid x% of all physical attacks). It also has an stun spell that immobilises the target.
Mysticism has all the teleport spells, and Telekinesis for robbing things(I fucking love robbing things). But it's not really high priority.
Alteration has Levitate, which is good for making you fly, or for putting one point of levitation on an enemy for a full minute. This means they move at 1% of normal speed, and the AI can't handle it anyway so they just freeze. Use the Illusion stun spell if you want to do it properly. Alteration also has the water walking, water breathing and other cool stuff.
Restoration you definitely want to be able to do yourself and do well, Mysticism doesn't have anything you need to be too high level for, and you can enchant items for Illusion and Alteration effects if you don't feel like taking the skills yourself.
>>259624613
Nope but after playing vanilla Morrowind long enough, especially after the main quest, people tend to just stop trying. They'll talk to a few people in an area but it becomes repetitive. What's more surprising is that they don't explore the entire area just to see what's going on in general. You're at Ghostgate. Vivec's personal troops are here. Even then, seeing some Imperial hanging out there won't really entice many to talk to him.
>>259624752

Other than weight, I don't think so.
I rather play as sorcerer and eventually use full daedric armor like a true telvanni

What's wrong with FCOM?
I'm actually starting a new playthrough in Oblivion with it
>>259625070

Thank God.
I like magic but I don't want to wear girly clothes.
Fuck robes.
>>259624947
There are more informative stuff, but the sermons are just beautiful poetic insanity.
>>259625040
okay and mods reintroduce the fortify skill for spellmaking whats the problem?
>>259624943
While stunlock doesn't fix the terrible scaling issue, especially since npc mages are ridiculously powerful on harder difficulties, stunlock breaks the game like nothing else. I've played as a mage on master mode wearing nothing but robes and glass boots/gauntlets. Just spam stunlock and it's difficult for me to name an enemy I can't just stand there and wipe out.
>>259625037
Its nothing special though.
Just passes off as a random imperial who gives you a lucky coin.
Everyone knows that it is the personification of Talos, but its a bit meh.
>>259625247
Use light armor. Medium sucks in general (mitigated by expansions tho), and the extra defense from heavy isn't worth crawling around everywhere
Can you damage your skills to get cheaper training and then go to a temple to restore them?
>>259625247
you can basically wear full daedric armour and still cast like a motherfucker all day
>>259625518
b-but the ebony cuirass in females is stylish as fuck

The magnitude in a levitation spell is the percentage of you regular speed that move at. So a 1 strength spell and the boots of blinding speed, if you have something to block the blindness, would give you a pretty decent speed. You can also cast levitation spells at over 100 and move faster than you normally can, which for old Telvanni is probably the equivalent of a magic wheelchair.
>>259625525
yup, as long as you dont have the code patch installed, but even then you can turn it off
Should I join Telvanni if I'm already part of the guild of Mages?
please respond
>>259624467
There's a spell seller in Mournhold, or you can just console that shit.
>>259625897
There's literally no guild restrictions in Morrowind other than only 1 Great House.
>>259625897
I thought the two factions disliked each other.

Master race reporting in
How's your mushroom tower going? Mine's just fineI don't miss civilisation at all
>>259626094
If you do, I think they make you a special line about your loyalties when you ask a member of the mage's guild about the telvanni, but I think thats it.
you can be archmagister of both factions, which is pretty weird.

well, have fun in your mages guild house then
oh wait
>>259625475
This reminds me of how Morrowind is that kind of game where once you learn the lore, you walk up to certain characters and it just feels like you're both winking at each other.

Why not? This seems fair.

To them is was just about to defending Morrowind. According to the map and the lore, the Argonians only managed to kill the Telvanni family. They never got far enough to reach into Telvanni territory to touch most of the house. The shocking thing is that House Dres still survived, despite it being ground zero for the Argonian invasion and House Dres actually being the house of slavery. That tells you how good the Redoran are. The Telvanni are likely still well and good and just didn't care about the invasion.
>>259624864
arent there few levitation potions in room downstair anyway?
>>259623667
>implying sex clubs aren't programmed in
>>259627000
tough luck
the core part of TES lore is only referenced vaguely in books
ingame characters and such only touch the surface of it and barely, since they want to make the world the more generic possible to appeal to the wider audience.
I also hate how they also treat you like an ignorant dumbfuck even though you graduated top of your class in the Imperial Library forums.
I tried giving this a go recently. But couldn't get into it because of the characters movement animations. Everyone walls like they have a stick up their ass. The combat animations look like people are suffering a stroke
>>259626227
meh only Hlaalu live close to civilization.
Redoran live in the middle of nowhere too.
With speed spells and levitation I can get myself in our mushroom tower in a moments notice from Molag Mar.
Now i'm in a urge to install this after i finish Deus Ex. Never played it, what mods and patches do you suggest for a first playthrough ?
>>259627334
cool blog post
>>259627196
>kill the Telvanni family
u wot? Most telvanni mage-lords have their towers around port telvannis
and you meet neloth in dragonborn
How do I become a lorefag?
>>259626416
B-but Telvanni has the coolest missions of the three great houses.
>>259627413
morrowind code patch
better bodies and heads
>>259627413
Don't bother with mods.
>>259627552
they're all shit anyway
>>259627413
Just the Patch Project and Code Patch.
>>259626938
I wish...
Why couldn't they keep based Michael Kirkbride?
>>259627413
this is what I roll with homie
>>259619928
A lot of us mod the hell out of it. Pic related is something I screencapped for /vg/ yesterdaybecause I'm too lazy to open the game and take another screenshot.
>>259627413
Just get these two: >>259627646
>>259627947
Michael Kirkbride wrote several things in Skyrim.
>>259626506
Either make a bunch of shit with enchants and swap between them, since the soul energy recharges over time, or enchant a weapon with Soul Trap and carry a lot of low level soul gems so that every rat or other piece of trash can be converted into a soul gem to recharge your good stuff. There's a bug where if some restocks something, they restock it to the highest level they've ever had it, so if you find someone selling gems, sell them 100, exit the convo, go back in and buy them back, they'll refill to 100 whenever they restock. You still have to pay up so it's really just saving you from waiting three days after buying them out.

Since I found 4chan I've developed an erectile disfunction for registering and being on any forums.
I mostly read kirkbride stuff anywhere where he posts it and discuss tes on /v/ and /tg/
Forums are too circlejerk for me even if they have quality. What a shame.
>>259626506
I'm not him but I've been doing a pretty much pure enchanting character aside from majors in restoration and conjuration.
Casting pool for enchanted items always refills at the same rate, however, with a higher enchantment level, casts to use the item are cheaper and don't eat away the cast pool as much. You can recharge quickly by just resting (the same way you would regain mana if you're playing vanilla) but the best way to level enchant is to recharge with soul gems so you should be doing that.
I recommend that you keep a lot of petty souls gems on you at all times since they're as light as most arrows and extremely easy to find. Soul trap the shit out of skelingtons. They're an extremely common enemy type, fit in petty souls gems and have a charge of 30 which is great for recharging and leveling your enchant.
Another EXTREMELY good tip to know is that if you have multiple magical effects of the same exact type coming from different items, they will all stack. This means if you make a bunch of different rings that do soul trap for 60 seconds and cast them all individually on an enemy, you will capture that enemy's soul multiple times, as if you killed and soul trapped x number of that enemy for each cast that you did. For this reason, one of the very first things I do on an enchant playthrough is to make three or four rings that soultrap on target.
>>259627947
Skyrim was very deep in the lore department.
They directly referenced kalpas, things about universe, confirmed the Godhead and shit.
also Kirkbride wrote some books, since he still does some freelance work for Bethesda

niggers you fucking need to get less generic npcs too
it actually makes them worth talking to and gives them personality
>>259627494
The Telvanni House was founded by the Telvanni family, you can read about it in Skyrim during the Brand-shei quest. The family is generally irrelevant to the house though. And I don't think it's stated that most mage-lords are at Port Telvannis. All of the Councilors were in Vvardenfell and many Telvanni are scattered across the eastern territories of the mainland. There's likely many Telvanni around. In fact, Neloth shows there's a good chance a lot of the higher rank members are still up and about.
>>259627978
Step it up m8
>>259628363
Not for a first time playthrough.
>>259628063
I will get the patch and heads. What about that one which revamps the graphic all around which i read about sometimes ?
>>259627965
Too much bruv
>>259628443
>>259627978
Now show me those amazing looking NPCs.
>>259628301
What is the Kalpas?
>>259628383
most mage-lords aren't at port telvannis, there's only one tower there, but they are scattered mostly around the telvanni district
>>259628383
Probably not in too good a shape, judging by Neloths' dialogue in Dragonborn.
>>259628443
step up senpai
>>259628554
why the fuck not,it only changes the generic dialogues,you should definetly get it>>259628578
>>259628301
Granted, I barely brushed Skyrim. I just couldn't stand that shit. The Mages Guild mission arc was the boiling point.
Didn't even finished it actually.
>>259628268
Thanks. Again, I'm completely fucking new, but being a battlemage sounds so rad.
>>259628443
Vurt has done some great work.
>>259628578
Don't listen to the guy about better heads. It's terrible.
>>259628578
MGSO is fine, I myself liked it, but some people are strongly against it because they feel it kills the atmosphere of the game.
Dunno, just play without it and then try afterwards to see it.
Also it's very performance intensive, since Morrowind is an old game that wasn't designed with multi-core processors in mind even if you have top-notch hardware you can get FPS drops
>>259628639
>>Now show me those amazing looking NPCs.
If we're comparing it to Oblivion, you have no right to speak kek
>>259596551
Any race
Major skills: Enchant, Conjuration
All other skills don't matter
1. Get Azura Star
2. Summon skeleton -> soultrap weapon -> recharge weapon
3. Repeat 2 until enchant is 100.
4. Enchant items with cast-on-use massive damage spells that only cost 1 enchanting point to use
5. Bore your way through the rest of the game.
Honestly enchanting is almost as broken as alchemy.
If you want to play regular straight mage, I personally recommend a Magicka Regen mod a'la Oblivion. I did my first playthrough without but honestly resting constantly to remain functional is a little tedious as a pure mage.
