Top Bunk Wanker posted:One of the best moments in Morrowind was actually exploring anywhere and usually finding something extremely cool for taking the time to do it. Actually exploring anywhere The world of Morrowind is open ended and you can go anywhere you want. Feel like exploring Dunmer tombs? Maybe you want to find ancient daedric artifacts? Or just explore the Ashlands? It’s all up to you, just remember to visit the nearest town and enjoy their services when you're done.

I got back into the warehouse yesterday and found that they were either smuggling or had seized a poo poo ton of Moon Sugar and Skooma. So much that I had to smoke some to get it all to Ravi'ir in Balmora. I'm a tweaked out, drug dealing lizard wizard  Also I accidentally used the wrong scroll during combat and woke up in Molag Mar. In 12 years I'd never bothered to visit..

Pretty much every faction in Morrowind is corrupt as gently caress so it was definitely their own supply. I started the Fighter's Guild today since I never, ever do that quest line. After completing the Balmora quests, I remember why I never bother with the Fighter's Guild. gently caress these assholes, they suck.

I played through Skyrim in German to kind of practice my German in the downtime and so I could play video games without MY WIFE bitching. I was thinking about doing the same with Morrowind, but I heard somewhere that the translation is just horrible. Can anyone confirm this? I'm probably going to do it anyways. I was just going to install the Overhaul. But I'm open to other mods. I don't have a superfast computer, but it should be able to handle most stuff. If I play the PC version with an Xbox controller am I screwed? I played it with a mouse this time. I'm going to play a magic guy because the last time I played a warhammer guy. Normally my second guy is a sneaky guy but from what I remember, stealth is kind of broken.

Where was that Dremora Lord (I think) who wanted to kill you and rape your corpse (don't worry, he'll be gentle)? That was surprising to say the least when I first stumbled upon that guy.

And yeah why didnt he imply rape instead of just straight up say it what the hell bethesda

Is it just me or is Bethesda really bad at humor? Like 90% of it tends to be wacky random monkey cheese bullshit and the rest is super grimdark stuff. Bad as Oblivion was, Shivering Isles at least attempted to be interesting but it was hamstrung by just about every single NPC spouting insufferable random garbage constantly.

A lot of the jokes in Morrowind were pretty well done. The condescending tone of the "little story" explanation, stuff like that. I think it might be that they're better at subtler written humour and that poo poo fell away as the focus moved to their terrible voiceacting and retarded jokes departments

Skyrim's greatest innovation is creating a civil war that has literally no impact on anything whatsoever that and "wait... what if mages weren't trusted by normal people? fuckin woahhhhh"

some soundtrack talk ive been listening to a little of morrowind and oblivion's soundtrack. while every track has some memory tied to them, i feel as if Skyrim in comparison is not very memorable. anyone else feel this? i think oblivion's got one of the best soundtracks tbh, but morrowind has the best theme overall(even beats skyrim's main theme)

Oblivion's soundtrack is definitely the best. the chillest, just what you want to hear when you go exploring i haven't played Morrowind in years, but i remember it being chill as well, and its main theme is really good Skyrim's theme kicks rear end, but it plays at stupid moments, like when a dragon is a mile away and attacking some bandits outside the draw distance

They do it with zones, right? So creatures in one area can be like from lvl 5 to 10, but never stronger or weaker than that.

WEEDLORD CHEETO posted:god shivering isles was terrible. if it wasn't inane plot and awful attempts at monkeycheese humour, it was the same overly long loving dungeon crawl through one of two tilesets over and over again, the quest/dungeon/enemy design somehow had even less variety than vanilla oblivion. and that's terrible. I actually liked the plot.  The humor was a bit overbearing at times, but a few of the bits were amusing enough. The censor notes at the start and end of the book about the root system for instance. Plus Haskill was a nice comic foil. On a side note, is it bad if I understood everything Sheogorath said? He speaks pretty clearly for someone who's a god of madness.

Top Bunk Wanker posted:Morrowind had level scaled monsters, but they chose to intelligently scale them rather than aligning every single creature and item in the game exactly with your level. Morrowind creatures only get to level 30 I believe, which is nice because I like feeling like spending the time to get enough money to train myself to level 50 was actually worth it in some way. Morrowind also doesn't completely scale leveling for all creature; I think Dremoras have minimum levels of like 10 or 15, so if you decide to go into a Daedric ruin and steal a cursed diamond from the altar, well, you're dead, buddy. That's really one of the things I love about Morrowind. There are quite a few areas where you just are not supposed to go early on, but there's nothing stopping you either. No hand-holding bullshit, no 'this door must be unlocked by a certain key' crap like Oblivion and Skyrim. Actual, real freedom to explore, and if it turns out you aren't supposed to be there yet, remember that place and come back in 10 levels and try again. You can even go to the monastery of the dissident priests and to the cave of the Neverarine whenever the gently caress you drat well please, even though there's really no point to do so until you reach that part of the main quest.

Crewmine posted:You can go all the way to Dagoth Ur and he's just like "maybe come back when you're actually prepared you colosssal moron" When I first started really getting into this game, a friend and I were both playing and I found my way to Dagoth Ur while exploring around Red Mountain and got the whole 'Why have you come unprepared?' bit. Then I left, found Keening an hour or two later, equipped it and died. This might have been the moment that pushed the game from Very Good to Outfuckingstanding to me.

I would have done this but I got that walk faster mod from the other thread so now I'm sitting on my moon sugar stash in the mages guild bedroom in Balmora with the crazy soulgems I knicked from the elf upstairs. I think tonight I'm going to find that ring need Seyda Neen someone mentioned earlier and then I'm going to wander over to Ebonheart to see how low my FPS goes.
