That one turbo nerds mega mod pack was great. Like 4 gigs of mods all mashed together without a care for performance or balance. My i5 3570k was the first PC fast enough to render all the crap added to balmora at a playable frame rate.

Why didn't Nerevar just gently caress Almalexia to get out some of her frustration so she wouldn't try to kill him later on?

Morrowind also had stuff that just hosed with you like there's a cave you can get to early on that has some piss weak bandits in it, then a naked nord dude with a steel warhammer well jokes on you he has ridiculously high stats and really high weapon skills so you go fight him and he murders you in 2-3 hits

At the end of the dungeon was a flame atronach, I had never seen one of those before and I was like level 3 so it killed it really really fast.

Yea even in Morrowind it was pretty easy to make the game completely trivial in a variety of ways. Morrowind's just happened to be kind of broken and hilarious (carrying 20 Glass Jinkblades around, stunlocking any fool with actual combat stats, breaking your stats with Alchemy, whatever) wheras in Skyrim/Oblivion it's just kind of this "Oh, I went spellsword but now my spells cost no mana so there's no point to not dual casting". Also if you are gonna play Morrowind save often and dont dawdle too much on quests, on the one playthrough where I might have actually finished the drat thing one of the essential NPCs fell through the floor of the mages guild and never respawned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DuXO189eCA

Really if you wanna' get anywhere on the main quest you should have the npc spawning console commands on lockdown just in case. Nobody does the main quest. Just murder a god and talk to the fat man.

xbox morrowind owns, people had to make a program to fix its saves It stores every single container you open and what is/was in it with no regards for a max size so your save can get so large the xbox's ram can't handle loading it

Because games aren't worth playing until all my numbers are large. FreudianSlippers posted:Elder Scrolls game on a console just seems silly. I mean sure these days they are pretty much created specifically for the console market but a TES game without mods is just stupid. Somehow I get over not having access to anime hair. Somehow. Anyway I, uh, saw a mudcrab the other day. Seemed reasonably clean.

Can't beat the Tribunal quest where you have to drown if you do that, can't rest if you're always flying, and invisibility just breaks the loving game entirely.

I liked that in Morrowind the name of the creature you soultrapped was in parentheses so you could use Azura's star to trap Vivec's soul and have the spirit of a god trapped in a rock given to you by another god displayed on a table in whatever house you were squatting in.

The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Eleven These were the days of Resdaynia, when Chimer and Dwemer lived under the wise and benevolent rule of the AMLSIVI and their champion the Hortator. When the gods of Veloth would retreat unto their own, to mold the cosmos and other matters, the Hortator would at times become confused. Vivec would always be there to advise him, and this is the first of the three lessons of ruling kings: 'The waking world is the amnesia of dream. All motifs can be mortally wounded. Once slain, themes turn into the structure of future nostalgia. Do not abuse your powers or they will lead you astray. They will leave you like rebellious daughters. They will lose their virtue. They will become lost and resentful and finally become pregnant with the seed of folly. Soon you will be the grandparent of a broken state. You will be mocked. It will fall apart like a stone that recalls that it is really water. "Keep nothing in your house that is neither needed or beautiful. "Ordeals you should face unimpeded by the world of restriction. The splendor of stars is Ayem's domain. The selfishness of the sea is Seht's. I rule the middle air. All else is earth and under your temporal command. There is no bone that cannot be broken, except for the heart bone. You will see it twice in your lifetimes. Take what you can the first time and let us do the rest. "There is no true symbolism of the center. The Sharmat will believe there is. He will feel that he can cause years of exuberance from sitting in the sacred, when really no one can leave that state and cause anything more but strife. "There is once more the case of the symbolic and barren. The true prince that is cursed and demonized will be adored at last with full hearts. According to the Codes of Mephala there can be no official art, only fixation points of complexity that will erase from the awe of the people given enough time. This is a secret that hides another. An impersonal survival is not the way of the ruling king. Embrace the art of the people and marry it and by that I mean secretly have it murdered. "The ruling king that sees in another his equivalent rules nothing. "The secret of weapons is this: they are the mercy seat. "The secret of language is this: it is immobile. "The ruling king is armored head to toe in brilliant flame. He is redeemed by each act he undertakes. His death is only a diagram back to the waking world. He sleeps the second way. The Sharmat is his double, and therefore you wonder if you rule nothing. "Hortator and Sharmat, one and one, eleven, an inelegant number. Which of the ones is the more important? Could you ever tell if they switched places? I can and that is why you will need me. "According to the Codes of Mephala, there is no difference between the theorist and the terrorist. Even the most cherished desire disappears in their hands. This is why Mephala has black hands. Bring both of yours to every argument. The one-handed king finds no remedy. When you approach God, however, cut both of them off. God has no need of theory and he is armored head to toe in terror.” The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

That one was fine, I meant the first quest, where you need to go to seven different shrines before it allows you to do any other quests. It was fine the first time because I was able to explore places I hadn't been to, but on subsequent playthroughs, it's just tedious.
