So you don't care for the Falmer either then?

Would have broken the closed off cities.

Which is funny, because it didn't break Mournhold, and levitating over the walls was sufficiently embedded in the lore that "Anti-intrusion magic" would have been not out of place. What it would have broken were all the floor traps and oblivion realms by letting you skip most of the huge gently caress-off gates, the massive lava river detours, and most of the enemies outside and especially in the towers. Here: fight your way past 30 of the same lame enemy with the same lame equipment drops in every loving Oblivion Tower you go in! Toggle CoLlision is your friend!

I never went back and did tribunal after the first time I beat it way back when,so it's been a decade plus, but I thought they just did the "you can't go that way" if you tried to fly up near the walls?

I'm kind of looking forward to DaggerXL (The Daggerfall remake), it seems like it could be a fun game if it got some heavy modding to make the quests and dungeons less terrible. It's definitely aged badly though, it's no System Shock :shobon:

Daggerfall also had an enemy that could kill you really easily and was immune to your attacks in the very first dungeon unless you picked a specific option during character generation and the worst part is, encountering this guy is mandatory if you want to exit the dungeon.

What I'm saying is that Daggerfall is not a very good game and the spergs who claim its the best in the series are wrong.

:chord:
I got through the first dungeon in Daggerfall without trouble (I think I started with an ebony blade somehow), travelled a million miles to get to the nearest town, arrived at night and was locked out and got destroyed by monsters. Second time round, I got into the town just before nightfall, was wandering around checking out people's houses and the crazy naked temple chicks, sun sets, and it turns out a loving ghost hounds you around the place with no warning if you're out after curfew and kills you. You have to respect that level of dedication to loving over new players.

I scrolled down to a random point cause I don't have time to read it right now and there are people with television sets for heads. I'm expecting the Morrowind mod to make this reality any day now.

don't give a gently caress as long as Vivec's in it though

That part was like reading a campy Superman comic; for Christ's sake, Vivec had a photojournalist sidekick in that part.

EDIT: I have no idea what just happened. The first part, with that one guy and his House Hlaalu buddy gearing up to fight Numidium was neat. Weird, but lucid. But now I'm reading things like

quote:

"A creeper shot of Arkicide Demonicus, Daedric Fresh Printz of Bad Press looks both Sardy above and Vivec below, cuz 2 eyes suddenly."
and I'm wondering if MK is huffing the world's largest amount of hallucinogens or just shat this out in a day because he didn't finish the comic in time for Valentine's Day. I'm enjoying myself, but I'm so loving confused.

Okay, then listen to me. You're not the Dwemer. I can probably safely say no one knows what you are.

I remember the first time I went looking for the mudcrab it turned out I'd murdered him at some point for being a mudcrab so I had to load up the TES construction set and add another mudcrab to that island.

Also I took some more MO screens while I was in vivec

So pretty

I unfortunately had to choose between shaders and distant land because my laptop cannot handle both at more than 20 FPS, so I turned off shaders. Once I get enough money I'm prolly gonna build a modest desktop mostly just for Morrowind.

If you have the patience to manually install every mod, Knots's guide will give you better results.

e: Also, for the lore guys, here's an explanation (kind of) of what the gently caress is going on in C0DA. Numidium returns to destroy Nirn after the Thalmor succeed in destroying mankind (save for the Bretons). All the other races gently caress off to one of the moons, Masser. A guy descended from the first person born on the moon after this poo poo happened decides to marry into the royal house of the Dunmer. His bride accepts, but it turns out that he has to go down to Nirn and destroy Numidium to do so. He briefly reminisces about his ancestor, Alandro Sul and explains the origins of Vivec, Sotha Sil, and Almalexia via showing you what amounts to a kids show in the universe.

He talks to Talos, Akatosh, and Lorkhan, who are revealed to all be the same exact person. Akatosh is mentioned to be caged inside of the gaping hole where Lorkhan's heart should be, and Talos is bummed out that mankind is dead. He's also apparently the operating system (TalOS) for Nirn. So the guy goes to Numidium, calls it a childish being that exists only to gently caress things up, and then destroys it. He goes back to his homeland and marries his bride, who is revealed to be Vivec in female form. They gently caress, and it is stated that their new child is the next Godhead of the next universe.

Well it took me reconfiguring overhaul like 10 times to finally get settings that both looked good and played at a respectable FPS, so I think this probably depends on your PC. If you have a fuckoff gamer rig it'll serve you fine, whereas in my case it would have taken far less time to just do it myself.

MO holds your dick through all of the performance tuning. Having previously been through the reconfiguring-10-times procedure I don't think I'd never not just go with MO at this point.

Also, apparently Numidium, the giant Dwemer robot that breaks time, fights not by beating people up, but by arguing them and the laws of physics around them to death. Appropriate for a race of atheists.
