Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I heard them say we've reached Morrowind.
>>343874417
You were dreaming. Stand up, buy my game?
I'd morrowind his reach, if you know what I'm saying
Having only recently gotten into Morrowind I finally understand what people meant when they said guilds weren't just questlines.
Skyrim and Oblivion's guilds were just questlines with a magic, fighting, thieving or asassination theme. Morrowind's guilds actually had a good amount of services, and a lot more quests, I even enjoyed some of the chores like collecting flowers and mushrooms for the khajiit alchemist in the Balmora Mages Guild.
>>343876006
Collecting plants for Ajira is enjoyable because the way the quest is introduced to you is very natural. "Here, visit this area and have a look around, you're bound to find what you're looking for." It's almost like an adventure, as opposed to following a quest marker or buying the plants off of a vendor.
>>343876145
Yeah, definitely. The plants can be found in the same region, and she'll actually make research notes, which are then stolen by Galbedir, opening up another quest.
She's doing actual research, not just paying you for some ingredients.
Wanna know how I know you're all newfags and underage b&? This shit has been joked about to hell and back for the last decade on /v/, and yet here you are discovering it for the first time apparently. Go the fuck back to whatever social media you crawled from and stay there, you cancerous little fucks.
>>343876545
>Video game discussion? In my /v/? Unacceptable!
We're only allowed to post about the most recent overhyped AAA trash right? Boy, I sure love Overwatch!
>>343876649
Gotta check for cliff racers right?
I like how some of Morrowind's animals were based off dinosaurs (clannfear, cliff racer, guar, kagouti)
>>343876145
Ironically you can buy half of the plants you need for the quest from her and you can find the others in Balmora.
Any advice for starting out with Morrowind? I'm trying to get into it but I'm struggling with it.
>>343876873
I actually get them myself, cause it's more fun.
>>343876941
just play it, only way to get used to the gameplay and such.
I'm playing it right now on a shit laptop so I couldn't install graphics mods, but it's certainly playable
>>343876941
Builda decent character when you start out or the start game will be very painful.
>>343876941
Character creation helps a lot. What are you struggling with? Low speed, low hit %?
>>343877047
for you
>>343876847
Not cliff racers. Something much more horrific. Just watch your step when you're walking around Vvardenfell at night.
>>343877105
It looks like a non-ghostly dwemer
what is it?
>>343877157
jvk
what do I do after I killed Dagoth Ur?
tried Mournhold but found the quests there too difficult (like the goblin questline)
I'm level 11 agility marksman btw
>>343877592
That's what you get for cheesing your way through the main quest.
How are spears in this game? I kind of want to use them because they aren't in any other game in the series but I don't want to gimp my character with a shitty weapon.
What are some fun ass builds? I am not creative at all and end up doing the basic mage/warrior/thief archtype.
>>343878581
They're great.
>>343878648
Mage warrior, mage thief, thief warrior
The possibilities are endlesssrsly though just choose a couple skills which complement eachother, covering weapon, armour, healing, ranged, lock opening and various utilities
>>343876941
Don't be an idiot. That's it. Bud your class so it make sense and skills synergize, include weapon and armor skill in your majors and don't run everywhere like an idiot because keeping your fatigue up is crucial. It's a much slower paced game than Skyrim, for example.
>>343876006
Yeah. When you start getting deeper into some of the questlines and learning the background behind some of the different factions, you'll really appreciate how much they interplay (not really quest interaction, but just the background of why factions and their quests are the way they are)
>>343876873
>Ironically you can buy half of the plants you need for the quest from her and you can find the others in Balmora.
True, but are you telling me you didn't enjoy fetching them yourself by wandering around the countryside around Balmora and exploring the Bitter Coast?
Anyway, it's good practice for later on in the game when you have tofind some pretty flowers for your qt khajiit gf
>>343876941
Build yourself a character that is at least capable in combat right from the start. Try out different ones if you're having trouble picking a combination you like, you don't have to play with a character you hate!
And don't look at the wiki too much if you can help it, a lot of Morrowind's fun is in the atmosphere and exploring and learning for yourself.
>>343878581
They're pretty good. Long reach and they're governed by endurance, which you should level up as quickly as possible.
>>343878581
They're objectively shittier than blunts and swords.
>>343879909
tfw no khajit gf
I can't make it past (walking there, no strider) Balmora and the first 2 Fighters/Mages guild quests. God Ive tried, with like 5 different characters, but it just doesn't hook me. I really wish it did.
>>343876873
Yeah, but that's kinda the point - they could buy them, but why not use this new recruit to gather for free?
>>343878581
Problem with spears is you really only have one viable attack direction. That doesn't really matter if you tick "always use best attack", but is otherwise.
>>343880136
Nothing forces you to go to Balmora. Try going to Khuul and joining the imperial legion or go to Sadrith Mora and join the Telvanni.
>ESO on sale for like twelve dollarydoos
>got my money's worth seeing Morrowind locations in HD
How is the Imperial cult quest line? I was thinking of making a Paladin type character and playing through it.
>>343880426
Literally 90% fetch quests.
How do I get into this game? I can't even defeat the first enemies in the very beginning.
>>343880351
Never cared for the game but can you visit some Vvardenfell locations?
>>343880272
>khuul
Gnisis nigga
>>343880539
Not Vvardenfell, but the early zones of the Dunmer faction are in Morrowind's mainland parts and have nostalgia levels of Dunmer architecture, weird fungal plant life, volcanos and creatures.
Vvardenfell is planned as DLC supposedly but I'm not holding my breath.
>>343878581
Great! Because you can actually take advantage of the reach; you'll want to pay attention to your levelling multipliers if you get most of your levels from your combat skills, though.
>>343878581
Honourable Dunmer knight. Use long blades and the armour of the ancestors, and study Mysticism, Alteration and Restoration. Fight with honour, so no sneaking around.

If so then I'll get it just to build me a nice house in Vvardenfell and chill the fuck out
>>343880539
Nope, only mainland.
Honest ESO review from a hardcore (since old Morrowind forums even before Bethforums) lorefag.
Game is an okay themepark MMO, you can get your moneys worth and with One Tamriel they are trying to go more sandboxy. Gear design and generally most of the designs seem to be uninspired, I hate it personally, it doesn't look like TES but at the same time it doesn't go full crazy for it to be fun, they should have sticked with something.
NOW ONTO THE LORE. The lore is mostly not bad and there are some actually good additions as well as confirmations for MK tier lore, for example Wheel of Lull are directly referred to in the game...but majority of surface lore showcased in quests is cancerous garbage.
Ghosts return from their respective afterlifes at will, time travel is rampant and any apprentice mage can do it, you casually travel to Far Shores and revive Emeric despite lore implying that full resurrection is basically impossible, expect to get buttmad every five seconds as a lorefag doing quests, especially in DC.
Main quest is okay, everything related to Amulet of Kings is shit and contrived, worst thing is that they never explain where they found the Amulet because they know it would be bullshit and completely fuck up Hjalti's future find of Amulet.
>>343880538
You need to keep in mind that the game is an rpg and not and action "rpg" like the gamebryo games. It's basically DnD in a real time 3d game, with "dice roll" probability based actions to hit or cast a spell or deal damage.
Chance to hit is designated by stamina, weapon skill and agility so keep those high and use your favored weapon skill, also health is God so level endurance to 100 as soon as you can.
As for magic, make the ones you need right away major skills for some fairly powerful starting spells. Over all, play the game as you would DnD and don't fuck up your character creation.
Do you guys actually do the leveling min/maxing this bogus system requires to not have a fucked up character, or do you use mods to circumvent it? Or does it just not matter that much?
>>343880498
The other 10% is doubling our goal!
>>343880998
Stop being retarded. Any build is viable in Morrowind after enough time, literally any build becomes a God.
>>343880998
I use mods to turn off the attribute multipliers and to reduce exp gain. It's the only way I find to enjoy the game from start to Solstheim without turning into an unkillable demigod for the millionth time.
>>343880998
That shit doesent matter unless you go full retard on useless attributes
>>343880915
Any of those forums still up lad? I don't want to rely on /v/
>>343874417
where is morrowind remastered?
>>343881335
why remaster it when you have mods?
>>343880998
Minmaxing in Morrowind is like learning karate to fight crippled kids. The game is fucking easy and unless you go out of your way to intentionally fuck up your character, you will achieve godhood around level 20.
Is Rebirth good?
>>343880136
Any particular reason you couldn't get into it, Canadabro? The start is pretty slow for a new player, people tend to only start enjoying it more once they can actually go out and explore.

>>343880538
>How do I get into this game? I can't even defeat the first enemies in the very beginning.
Morrowind doesn't really ease you into things; you need to be capable-to-good in at least one weapon skill right from character creation to hold your own in combat. If you understand that, though, it's not really too difficult to manage. Don't forget, you can always (and probably should) turn down the difficulty to start off with.
He most important this is to talk to people and listen to what they have to say, especially in the tutorial, andespecially people you're directed to
Remember, you're a fresh off the boat outlander. You probably don't have a good idea of what's going on.
>the very first enemies
The animals around town, or the smugglers in the cave? The smugglers should be difficult but manageable for a character that has a good enough weapon skill, but you're still level one - you're going to have to plan ahead and think about it a little.
>>343881393
the remaster would have a season pass for all the GOTY content.
>>343876545
Kek go back to your Bitcher 3 threads newfag
>>343881335

>>343881238
Most of ye olde places for TES discussion are dead sadly, only few snippets of super obscure lore like The Red Templars, Imperial legion that drank blood of Talos to gain martial Shouting prowess remain on The Imperial Library, I can link some of that old lore.
Bethesda lore forums is the only one that remains now but it's not even that old.
>>343881152
>>343881215
>>343881238
>>343881405
Where do you guys leave the difficulty slider then?
I think this is the main reason I have a hard time getting into the game. Im always worried about not getting those +5s on level up, so I threw on a mod that just level attributes automatically as skills go up. so I don't get the feel of building a character outside the creation screen.
>>343881335
id preorder morrowind remastered
>>343881414
I've heard good things but the guy who made it answers every compatibility question by saying: "probably not", so it's hard to gauge if it's worth using over hand picked mods.
>>343881583
Lorkhatosh go to bed.
>>343880998
The best thing about Morrowind compared to Oblivion is that unlike the latter, minmaxing (while fun) is hardly necessary to making a good character. Even a completely new player who exercises a bit of sense in their character design will do well enough, and still has the opportunity to become as ungodly powerful as any other Morrowind character given enough time.
The worst you can do is make a playstyle you were hoping for more difficult for yourself than it would otherwise have been.
>>343881000
Don't forget blackmail and theft, like any good cult!
>>343881596
I don't touch the slider, default is the intended way to play and raising it just means you'll enemies still won't be a threat because they're so exploitable yet you'll have to spend five minutes poking everything to death.
>>343880998
>go for agility
>go for agility sign
>pick up a weapon skill and stick with it for a while before you find weapon trainers
So hard.
>>343881596
Don't install those mods m8, the experience is really cheapened by streamlining.
Normal difficulty is fine if you just want to play the game, left it at 0 first playthrough and 100 afterwards, though it's just artificial.
>>343880351
All cities are built in the same architectural style though.
>>343882053
If you mean all the Dunmer ones, it's understandable because you're only really in the territory of Dres & Indoril. Redoran, Hlaalu and Telvanni are minor players in the ESO story.
>>343881596
Pay for training? Isn't that how most people build up their character?
>>343881596
Leave the slider in its default position.
Also stop fucking worrying about those shitty +5s and play the game normally. I was nine years old when first playing the game and I managed to beat it by just picking the default warrior class and smashing things in the face without paying attention to autistic optimization.
>>343876145
i think that is the general strength of Morrowind. Fuck the quest marker. They tell you where to go by describing the way. Since Morrowind is actually carefully designed instead of shitting on a randomizer until the landmass resembles kinda Cyrodil or Skyrim, you don't need the quest marker.
>>343882385
This.
If you don't like to think too much about character building, pick a default one instead of custom.
>>343882397
Also the game's biggest weakness, because the chronological nature of the journal means you've got to sort through all sorts of shit to find directions.
>>343882582
You can search by dialogue topic, though.
>>343882725
If you could sort by quest it would be much fucking better.
Also I'm 90% sure that sorting was only patched in between the expansions.
>>343880351
For all the shit people give it TESO has been doing good by adding shit like stealth, justice system, factions with storylines, etc. Problem is base game simply isn't well made.
>>343882853
Tribunal.
>>343883192
>stealth
Is it as edgy and try hard as it sounds?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8khFlHcHP4
I can't choose between a spellsword dunmer or magic/speechcraft breton without weapons for my Telvanni run. Which playstyle is better?
>>343883374
The story is pure edge straight out of a 14 year old's diary. The gameplay is impressive for an MMO but not compared to actual stealth games.
If you like ESO already it's a value add, if not it's not going to make it magically better.
>>343883449
the latter
>>343883374
Yes, sadly.
>>343874417
I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost. Can you point me in the direction of the uninstall wizard?
>>343883449
Magic is king if you plan to advance in Telvanni. I wouldn't center my character around Speechcraft, though. It simply lacks uses.
>>343876006
that's pure bullshit, I'm going through the Thieves Guild questline now
Literally 15 consecutive missions of Go to X, crouch, steal Y and come back
>>343883449
Pure magic is always more versatile and fun than magic + X. Just try to do more than destruction spam.
>>343877157

>>343883715
You get story based thieves guild missions when you hit the grand master until then its all just thieving.
This puts it above Skyrim where you didn't steal shit but Oblivion's thievery is still the best.
>>343883715
That's because Morrowind is a game about going out into the world and exploring it, the quests are there to make you travel and experience the world they created.
In Oblivion and Skyrim you are a teleporting god who just instantly appears wherever they are headed it's a fundamentally different game. Morrowind ha more in common with STALKER.
>>343883912
there hasn't been much exploration so far, unless you mean within cities where you can just fast travel with temples and boats. One quest was supposed to send me to a dwemer ruin for metal but you can just buy it from a store
>>343883873
Oblivion's Thieves Guild questline is fucking amazing and underrated, people never bring it up in feels threads but it's one of the most emotional vidya storylines I've ever experienced.
wait you can make a mage in morrowind?
>>343876649
delete this, that shit ain't funny
>>343876941
When you're in a dungeon or cave for the first time make sure you walk through it instead of run.
It'll keep your fatigue full which means you'll have a higher chance of hitting with your weapon, casting spells, and not falling over when hit.
>>343883980
Then that was you solving it in a different way, you had to use money you presumably made doing something else.
The thieves guild quests are more about navigating cities and, ideally snekking, yeah. Definitely the weakest guild in Morrowind and one of the only things that Oblivion improved (and didn't make dramatically worse)
How do you play Morrowind? Do you always go for the story?
I personally never completed the story, I always pickup supplies in seyda neen, get on my feet and go explore.
>>343884196
that's the way to play any TES game. The central story is never really compelling. You make your own adventures
>>343884026
Yes. You can also make your own spells and have far more spells available to you than Oblivion or Skyrim.
>>343883852
take that back
>>343884250
The main quest is pretty decent in Morrowind actually.
But you should only seek it out if you feel like it.
>>343884196
Give the package to Caius Cosades so I don't have to worry about losing it then go join a guild and don't look back.

Most important thing I don't think the game teaches you is keep your stamina up. When you have no stamina you hit less, get hit more, fail spell casting more often, get worse prices at stores, basically everything. So keep that in mind.
>>343885192
Levels mean close to nothing, she could just have an inflated agility stat or something.
>>343884250
>>343884331
Kinda. No TES game has had ever had a mechanically compelling main quest. It's also not heavy on setpieces or other unique situations, but Morrowind was very engaging from a lore standpoint if player paid attention to was going on and didn't just accept everything at face value.
>>343884641
Life is suffering, seraThere are a couple good pieces up on paheal, I posted a crop of one earlier
>>343880998
Only stat I min-max with is Intelligence. Alchemy is broken for being both incredibly powerful and incredibly easy to level up in the game, so I usually dont make it my Primary skill, so that when it comes time to level up (around 9/10 so it doesn't loop back) I just go and level up Alchemy about 10 times to guarentee my next level up with have +5 intelligence.
I dont recall the exact number you need into a certain attribute before its stats raise, but it's quite a bit. Like 2 or 3 to 1.

I remember that guy, but completely forgot where he was. The sword was something called like "Chrysamere" or something like that, right? It can go in the museum in Mournhold, even though it isn't in the book.

Well lore and balance wise he's making sense. You'd easily get a damn good set of light armor at level 1 due to how the assasin scales, and why would they attack some random chode fresh off the boat?
>>343886065
Look, I can't take anyone seriously when they just say an entire game franchise, one that's the posterchild for the genre of game they're speaking of as blatantly bad or blatantly good.
Just admit it, you liked Elder Scrolls once, then it stripped the RPG elements away, and instead of becoming vilified for it, they became heralds of a "new era of RPGs" which sickened you and you turned from the fandom to never come back.
It happened to all of us, the only difference was whether we were tired and bored enough to come back and appreciate what was left of the Genre.

Sorting by quests is what got patched in later. Sorting by topic was in since day one, and has always been more useful than the actual quest logging part. Your journal logs everything anyone has ever said to you, so clicking those hyperlinks in your quest descriptions almost always leads to more context or more specific directions that you may have forgotten.
>>343885886
You think the attacks are stupid, not the mod, right? It really fucks up the early game balance when you've got full sets of the second best light armor in the game spawning next to you every time you sleep from the very beginning of the game. That's not even considering how ridiculous it is from a story perspective for them to occur before any Nerevarine shit goes down. It's personal preference for returning players, but new players should definitely use that mod if they want to play Morrowind as it was originally designed for their first run.

>The sword was something called like "Chrysamere" or something like that, right?
Chrysamere wasn't in that tomb, some thief has it in a cave near Sadrith Mora. You're sent after it in a Legion quest.
>Also Museum is the best sidequest in all of the elder scrolls
>giving away your hard won loot for pennies
>>343886517
When I first played Morrowind I always just sold the armorbecause it looked ugly as fuck.
So more or less every vendor in the game ended up looking like a DB assassin.
>>343886764
Damn, that's clever on the Dark Brotherhood's part. They knew you'd turn their armor into a national trend so their assassins will more easily blend in.
>>343886517
Or just only use Bloodmoon and not Tribunal from the start, yeah
>>343886517
Honestly, people bitch about MW's dialog but it was a more sensible scaling back compared to DFs' were NPCs really were walking libraries.
>>343886764
I do that too but I feel like I cheated afterwards. You just get 1500 gold worth of armor for free.
>>343886294
I've tried to play Arx with Libertatis, but it evidently hates the shit out of my AMD gpu and the textures are utterly fucked regardless of what driver/renderer I use.
It's bumming me out, man.

What will this man do to TESVI?
>>343887134
To be fair, Daggerfalls dialogue system is a remnant of early digital rpgs. Nobody actually knew better, they just approached it in a practical sense instead of streamlining it for efficiency.
>>343887186
unsurprisingly there's kirkbride trying to suck the doll's dick
>>343887090
Yeah, that's a good call too. I prefer the mod since it handles that automatically and the rest of Tribunal still exists, but if you know exactly when you want to enable them, for example only after you've completed the vanilla main quest, then that's an easy way to do it.
>>343887186
>kirkbride acting like an autist
>>343887338
His drug srash is hidden inside the doll's head.
>>343887186
Who's that old man?
>>343887134
At least in Daggerfall most of the time they just answer something along the lines of "No idea, mate. Fuck off." unlike in Morrowind, where everyone will happily give you the same canned dialogue every single time. From what I remember in DF there was a limit to their patience, if you kept asking more than a couple of questions they stopped being cooperative.

This sounds like confirmation of the entire thing being a big Dragonbreak.

Ken Rolston. The guy, who for all his faults, went out of his way to make interesting quests for Oblivion.

people give him too much credit for his "quests", a lot of it was Emil's work and best quests in Skyrim are also supposedly his
What Ken Rolston did though was try his hardest turn TES back into generic fantasy after Morrowind
>>343887742
It sounds like confirmation that the entire thing is bullcrap and its very existence should be ignored and denied.

Socucius Ergalla. He really likes doing paperwork.
>>343887898
Technically it's possible to save him, lore wise that is.
His soul is not in dreamsleeve, it's actually sort of preserved in soul cairn without getting recycled and even though he has lost his body and magica storing body...maybe he can be infused with some sort of an automata or an artificial Atronach like a Flesh Atronache, hell he could be given a Daedric body by Ideal Masters with enough bargain power...though it would become hard for him to leave Oblivion.
>>343887186
No trolling here: is Kirkbride autist or something?
>>343888450
He is drugs.
>>343888450
Not really, he was an alcoholic at the time.

I don't know about autism, but you simply don't write the shit Kirkbride writes if you've got a healthy mind.

the NPC's agility and/or luck stats have been boosted to insane amounts using the console
you can actually calculate the chance to hit that NPC based off the player's and the NPC's stats, and it's like 90%. The chance to miss those 20+ hits is like 0.0001%

Not him, but you know, it's interesting that Oblivion and Skyrim were clearly inspired by Gothic.
Morrowind was open world, but a very stilted one. It's day-night cycle was mainly a cosmetic thing, NPCs aside from guards were mostly stationary, standing in the same place night and day waiting for you to grab a quest from them.
Compared to this, Gothic games felt full of life. NPCs, including wildlife, had schedules, they reacted differently if you woke them up at night, they would go to a lake or puddle to take a bath, eat, smoke, react aggressively if you entered their homes without permission, beat you up and rob you if you angered them, but only kill you if they really hated to your guts.
And it's pretty clear that it's these simulationist elements, which the Gothic series was famous for, was a huge influence for Bethesda's direction for open world games. Oblivion and Skyrim really were all about simulationism.
Too bad that's the only thing they learned from Gothic. Although maybe combat was part of it too. I'd wager between Gothic and Neverwinter Nights (the former combining character and player skill in a simple but very efficient way including blocking and strafing, while the latter doing 3D dice roll-based combat with fully animated dodge, parry, etc.) they started to feel really bad about the whole missmissmiss thing.
>>343885812
ayy lmao, you've revealed yourself salty gothic fag
Can I be any combination of race and class in Morrowind and still be viable
Morrowind 2 when
>>343892767
cant you tards browse a morrowind thread long enough to know you can literally fly across the map within the first 5 mins of the game if you know what you're doing
I wouldn't say being a redguard and caster is a good idea but it really doesn't matter considering how much you can break this game.
>>343892767
Anything is viable in Morrowind. It's a piss easy game, and it's simply impossible for you to fuck up. So go ahead.
>>343893156
>game rewards smart players who understand the mechanics
>>343892767
Yes. Having a race+class that share strengths makes you much more effective early on than a more rounded and less specialized character, but after a few levels all that really matters is what skills you actually use. The skills you use in actual gameplay is what determines everything after the very early game, most significantly the rate at which your attributes increase.
Though one suggestion/exception I would make note of: if you plan to play a primarily magic-based character, I highly suggest picking a Breton or Altmer and getting either the Mage, Apprentice, or Atronach signs. The magicka multipliers from these races/signs are very significant and playing a pure mage without them is rough until you can find/make some enchanted gear to compensate for your small magicka pool.
