Alright I shouldn't plug Skyrim in here but if you have it installed and need to piss away time a goon made a hilarious mod for it:

That's Dawnguard. I can't say for sure but it looks like whatever script is controlling the first cultist ambush is stuck for some reason.

Also, I made a thing. DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO TALOS :unsmigghh:

I have a lot of nostalgia stored up for Morrowind's music, but thanks to that one Lilacore mod I also have the same nostalgia for the Conan score. :black101:
Hahaha, yes. I had that Conan score burned into my head for years before I finally watched Conan the Barbarian and was filled with the weirdest sense of nostalgia throughout watching it.

If you see someone alone standing by the road, better ready your weapons because you are about to be asked for a payment to continue forward.

Can I ask ya somethin', Padre? When I was kickin' your ass back there... you get a little wood?

reading this thread thinking "man, I loved Morrowind and I'm glad I beat it a hair over a decade ago, but these fuckers aren't going to make me reinstall" and then remembered I haven't beaten Tribunal or Bloodmoon, gently caress.

random thoughts:

I can understand someone not liking Morrowind if they played Oblivion or Skyrim first (or really any major decent 3d RPG in the last five years), but I started with Daggerfall in '99 and I remembered shortly after getting that seeing the concept screenshots for MW and going :aaaaa: My PC at MW's release was poo poo so I played it on and off for six months on the Xbox. I remember beating the game the day after Christmas, going online and saying "what's all this mod stuff" and went out the next day, bought a baller PC and a PC copy of the game (and jesus, I bought it again on Steam a few years back. MW is the only game I've ever triple-dipped).

I think MW is the "best" TES game because it's the middle point between the awesome crazy detail/character customization/epic continent-spanning scope of the earlier games without the early ones' 5 million square miles of badly randomly generated shite and crap controls/UI and Oblivion/Skyrim's modern presentation (graphics, music) without the extreme mechanics loss (less skills, no-brainer combat, no spell creation in Skyrim, etc.) and cookie-cutter content (dungeons, etc.) MW had ways for you to fast travel that made sense and didn't trivialize the game. You could use the loving paper map that game with the game to navigate 95 percent of the game. The attention to detail was amazing, and the game world was awesome, even if the bugs and other poo poo in the game took it down a few notches.

the game wasn't perfect but it was drat fun.

I think I put about 50 hours into Oblivion before I said gently caress it, I wanted to like it but it was not good.

Daggerfall can be fun but holy poo poo you really need to enable the cheatmode so when the random quest/dungeon generator fucks you over you can just warp around to finish objectives and kill poo poo. Daggerfall can be fun though, the noise the skeletons make still haunts me and of course VENGEAAAAAANCE (Daggerfall was also awesome because you learned to remember what the monster sounds were because they would gently caress you up if you weren't ready).

I need to seriously play Arena at some point because I am a glutton for punishment.

I remember spending my days glitch-killing Ordinators with a bow and selling their armor to "The Creeper," ad infinitum. Then I would train all the badass skills I wanted, get Disintegrate Armor and torch Deviath Fyr with it, pickpocket the broken Daedric armor, and then actually start playing.

I wish I had played on PC.

drat it why is all of the music on youtube remastered versions, they all miss the little "wail" effect that is best represented here. I had a lovely sound card so this is what it sounded like for me.

One of my favorite MW mods was one that put DF's music in MW.

No. There is no hope for us.

Seriously I tried and it still happens for some reason, even though I've definitely deselected it. I can't be arsed to reinstall over it, but it really does put a dent in my plans to kill that Golden Saint.

As far as I know English mods were incompatible with the German version of Morrowind for the most part because they not only translated the item and location names but also the cell names itself. So when a mod says add "x" to this cell the German version basically says "uh what?"

"Texture only" mods work I think, so I don't know about Morrowind overhaul.

Awesome thanks. I'm probably going to go this route then. I might just hand-install some texture mods.

Infinitely many points, but zero length.
One of the key texts to understanding Kirkbride's symbology: the connection between wheels, representing creation, and wheels turned on their side, symbolizing "I". Thus, we see the connection between creation and self-awareness.


The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Twenty-One

The Scripture of the Wheel, First:

'The Spokes are the eight components of chaos, as yet solidified by the law of time: static change, if you will, something the lizard gods refer to as the Striking. That is the reptile wheel, coiled potential, ever-preamble to the never-action.'

Second:

'They are the lent bones of the Aedra, the Eight gift-limbs to SITHISIT, the wet earth of the new star our home. Outside them is the Aurbis, and not within. Like most things inexplicable, it is a circle. Circles are confused serpents, striking and striking and never given leave to bite. The Aedra would have you believe different, but they were givers before liars. Lies have turned them into biters. Their teeth are the proselytizers; to convert is to place oneself in the mouth of falsehood; even to propitiate is to be swallowed. '

Third:

'The enlightened are those uneaten by the world.'

Fourth:

'The spaces between the gift-limbs number sixteen, the signal shapes of the Demon Princedoms. It is the key and the lock, series and manticore.'

Fifth:

'Look at the majesty sideways and all you see is the Tower, which our ancestors made idols from. Look at its center and all you see is the begotten hole, second serpent, womb-ready for the Right Reaching, exact and without enchantment.'

Sixth:

'The heart of the second serpent holds the secret triangular gate.'

Seventh:

'Look at the secret triangular gate sideways and you see the secret Tower.'

Eighth:

'The secret Tower within the Tower is the shape of the only name of God, I.'

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

It really only helps you when you first start out, because later when you're character is a demigod a 50-skill lock is nothing. But in the last room of the census office, the one where you get your orders, behind the dude on the bookshelf is a key. You can grab it and drop it before getting caught like the limeware platter, except that you only have like a tenth of a second because the guard is literally right next to you. It's kind of tricky because you can't even save so if you screw up you have to do the intro all over, but if you manage to grab it and drop it before the guard talks to you, you get access to the storage house. It has a poo poo ton of armor and weapons, and also a lot of moon sugar and skooma.
Or you can open your inventory, pick it up in the inventory, then put it away. Happens instantly, so they can't take it off you.

It doesn't come up often but I remember doing it like that. Then again, that was years back. And drat, if another game has had as great an inventory/map/spells, whatever UI. Made Oblivion even worse by comparison. (loving consoles)
