I turned my assassin Hlaalu characters manson into a opiumskooma den. Stole a bunch of red lanterns and placed pillows on the floor with pipes and moonsugar next to them. I think the placing pillows thing may have been a mod.

I always enjoyed turning Caius Cosades's house into a main quest trophy den. I'd put poo poo like Sixth House cups and bell hammers, enchanted items, books relating to the Nerevarine Prophecies, and so on in there. Shame that Bethesda lied when they said he was going to show up in Oblivion.

i remember i would always do the same thing when i started, this was on xbox by the way, i would start up and then steal everything in the first place you are in, then i would do that dumb ring quest and sell all my stuff, i would hit up the cave right outside seyda neen to get some skooma, sell it to that cat in balmora then from there i would usually mess around until i get tired and start over again, i never got very far, i remember i was always looking for a place named vos for some quest i can't remember, and i only ever found it once, and i went in and there was some kind of door i couldn't open and after that i stopped playing forever

Skooma is the weirdest drug. It's presented as a type of Opium, but it makes you run really fast if you do a lot of it?

Is there any Terrence Mckennaish lore (lol) about Skooma found anywhere in TES? I hate myself for posting this.

I always saw Skooma as more analogous to cocaine (and, basically, crack) so it inducing hyperactivity makes sense.

Skooma is an opium analogue that is functionally more like crystal meth. edit yeah actually more like cocaine, agreed


I'm tempted to put Morrowind on my phone via android xbox emulator & Moga Power Pro gamepad but I'm worried my life will devolve into the time between loading screens

No, but you can have the One Million Little Pieces of Morrowind instead.

I once downloaded a mod for underwear just so I could use Almalexia's soul to enchant some boxers with something completely worthless (think it was Summon Scamp for 15 seconds and Restore 10 Fatigue), because gently caress her for making me do straight up evil poo poo. Fun times.

Enchant Almalexia's soul into a pair of pants for comedy option or if you're a pragmatic jerk for spell charges on a Daedric Tower Shield

THEN put Vivec's in Azura's Star with the rest of the named Dagoths and also the souls of named ghosts and poo poo because gently caress ARKAY


^^^^^^:respek: never not enchant her poo poo soul into useless enchanted undergarments

I remember one game after I'd maxed out all my primary stats as a sneaky bastard I joined whatever vampire clan gave the best bonuses to acrobatics and whatnot, since vampirisim could raise those stats past 100. I also found am amulet on some Tribunal quest NPC with enough health regen on it to go out in the daylight. That was the playthrough where I tried to kill everyone in the game; with the ridiculous athletics/acrobatics I remember jumping on and off of the tall 2-3 story roofs in Caldera as I kited the guards around picking off loners. I killed everyone on the west coast, but burned out when I got to vivec because I mean that poo poo's just unreasonable. Too many doors

I'm re-playing it now with Morrowind Overhaul. It seems to be the go-to and it was good enough to cover the bases for me. There's also some Telvanni mods the goons in the Games thread recommended.

Then I spent awhile (too much) downloading some individual flavor mods. There's one that lets you rotate your books. poo poo like that.

How to begin every Morrowind game ever

- Travel the gently caress over to Caldera

- Head towards Balmora

- Aquire Boots of Blinding Speed

- Create a 100 pt magic resist for 1 sec spell

- Cast spell, put on boots forever, enjoy moving at a goddamn decent pace

False. Enlightened beings who understand CHIM know that no modification is heresy. It is, after all, just one part of the Godhead pondering the others.

Also alchemy being hilariously broken was awesome, I fortified my intelligence so high that I was able to create a fortify strength for 100000000000 points potion that would last until the heat death of universe

Pro: One shot Dagoth Ur with so much damage you bypass his auto heal
Con: You break your weapon after each hit

As for Morrowind, I put hundreds of hours into that game as a kid and never beat the main storyline. I eventually got close, but I was mostly exploring and enchanting pants that let me jump from rooftop to rooftop. It was great and had a really foreign and creepy vibe to it, at least to middle school me.

This is the best part about Morrowind. The quests and storyline and books are all whatever, but the awesome weirdness of the world was the most fun part.

Then they followed it up with Oblivion, the Most Generic Western Fantasy Game, and Skyrim, Generic Viking and Dragon Fantasy Game.

Fuckers.

Hand to hand is the solution.

Anyone who hasn't done an unarmored / hand to hand monk run should go do that now. Completely different playstyle when you're not concerned about weapons or armor.

Yup. But, to be fair being a big old drunk is a plus when you're trying to write hosed up poo poo. According to Kirkbride, he wrote the 36 Sermons, "naked in a room with a carton of cigarettes, a thermos full of coffee and bourbon, and all his summoned angels."

id love to know the creative process behind morrowind. kirkbride had to have been a pretty big part of it, but at the same time, he had to have been a wreck to get fired from a writing job.

The nice thing about mods in Skyrim is that they fix the nine thousand broken things in the game that Bethesea never bothered to fix. On the other hand, the third-most recommended mod at Skyrim Nexus is something called "Calientes Beautiful Bodies". Also the Killable Children mod because not being able to molest or decapitate ten-year-olds just like the adults RUINS MY IMMERSION!!!

The best quest in the game was the one you get from the legion officer where he tells you a "little story" about how the good policeman wants to make everyone happy but needs the "bad people" to go away first, and it basically translated to busting into a bar and murdering everyone inside then hoofing it back to the legion castle before the guards imprison you forever.

Every memory i have of morrowind at this point is some variation of shitcanning Fargoth after getting off the boat.

Im pretty sure i left him alive once just to come back and murderhobo his rear end as collateral.

Burn Seyda Neen to the ground. Id say burn Balmora, but the loving place is made of dried mud.

Also gently caress making the only way to get enough cash to afford the baller enchants selling my poo poo to a loving mudcrab or sucking a scamps dick.

Also... is it me, or was the whole reason you meant poo poo at all in that game was cause you got cured of zombie aids?
