Check that your config ini or whatever isn't set to read-only Also I hope for your sake your steam games are installed in C:\games or something. Anything as long as they aren't in the program files folder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNQl-tFc034

I'm talkin' hotkeys, volume levels, etc all back to factory pre-sets. Kind of annoying. Anyone else run into that issue? try running as administrator, assuming steam is installed in program files

Ok can someone explain to me what is going on? I know alchemey abuse is 101 and that you can glitch through the ringwall in seyda neen but how does he teleport/noclip through everything? More details also appreciated.

I'm not certain, but Morrowind likes to glitch out when you're moving too quickly. You can literally run through walls or drop through the floor. I think that's part of the exploit?

there's a glitch in the unpatched non-goty edition where equipping and unequipping something fast enough keeps the boosts even after you unequip, so keening can be used to boost speed to absurd levels and do the wallhax in the red mountain area. sunder also boosts attack and strength to kill all that poo poo so if you bind switch weapon to a mouse wheel scroll, you can just rip through poo poo and get super high stats  also the script that kills you with keening/sunder takes a bit to actually turn on, and at the heart, sunder has boosted health so much that this is irrelevant anyway smokyprogg fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Feb 19, 2014 |

A mod I had back in the day gave all NPCs more/various spells like a heal spell some would autocast at 30% health and poo poo. Problem was, for a time it had a bug that also caused it to give everyone Vivec's signature tri-elemental spell for no cost.

How much skill points and ability points do you need to cast the weakness+plus absorb spell? I made it yesterday but had a 0% chance even buffing and at full fatigue.

Drain health, not absorb. Absorb is expensive.

Alright, I'm going to install Morrowind again. I played before on my old computer, got about 15 hours into it and mostly enjoyed it. I had some kind of extra weapons mod, and had cheesed up some gold and had access to some ridiculous OP sword that one shotted everything, and I got bored so I'm not planning on cheesing it too hard this time. I need to know what mod or mods to get. I don't want to do anything too fancy since this will be my first full play through. My laptop is kind of crappy, it's got a dual core AMD 1.0 CPU, 4 gigs of RAM, and I think Radeon 6250 integrated graphics. Despite the lovely specs it runs games better than you'd think. It ran New Vegas with the settings down, Oblivion and almost Skyrim but not quite. So I figure it should handle Morrowind fine, and a mod that improves graphics in general might be okay, just nothing too extreme for this laptop. So, that said, what should I get? I'll probably make a Medium Armor, Restoration Paladin type class for my first playthrough.

I went medium armour, armourer, 420blunt, restoration and athletics with a bunch of poo poo like alteration and mysticism in secondaries. It means you can go temple/redoran and maybe imperial legion/fighters guild/imperial cult as well, which seems like a p good spread. Obviously you can just get hella rich and skilltrain everything and do anything though, that's always an option.

Get Morrowind Overhaul, Tamriel Rebuilt and maybe Galsiah's Character Development if you don't like the leveling system (though I've always been fine with it so I've never used GCD myself). As for character build, join the cool guys club and use medium armor, magic and spears. The Best Build.

You want the Morrowind Graphics and Sound Overhaul on low settings plus the Morrowind Code Patch. And Morrowind is so easily broken/cheesed that you should really be playing for 1) the feeling of being a demigod in a game that lets you go crazy and 2) the setting and lore. If you're looking for visceral, challenging combat, you're always going to come away disappointed. Edit: I prefer Madd leveling for my leveling mod. Skills increase at a linear rate into the thousands, attributes go up by one every three skills. When you level you get 3 points to spend on skills. Luck increase on its own every 5? skill increases. It feels very much like vanilla, just extended forever. Cantorsdust fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Feb 19, 2014 |

Voila, about 45k of gold in the first hour of the game.

Personally I'm gonna bring Mudcrab to Tel Uvirith once it's built, although I need to finish the Fighter's Guild and Thieves Guild before I start Telvanni.

Oldstench posted:i'm not good at getting money early on. any advice? Alchemy. In Morrowind some items respawn instantly on shopkeepers. They are represented in the game's data with negative numbers. So go to Ajira or the high elf alchemist in Balmora and find some cheap ingredients that respawn. Buy some, then sell them back. The game now thinks they have -2x items. Then do it again, again, etc until you have a convenient stack of 1000ish respawning cheap ingedients for alchemy. Then go you your MGEXE config program and set up your keyboard macros to hold down mouse click. Now you can spam create tens of potions per second without wearing out your mouse. Buy your stacks of cheap ingredients, spam create potions, level alchemy and sell your potions for mad cash. Edit: Fast travel to the mages guild in Caldera and go up the wooden tower to steal a full set of master alchemy equipment that's entirely unattended.

I think if you look up indarys manor and tel uvirith on UESPwiki they have maps of the completed strongholds, at least for the exteriors. Indarys is pretty cool as it's a proper little village of two houses and the manor with a wall and watchtower over the gate.

Telvanni has one of the best quest lines with some of the best characters in the entire game and the coolest, but least-convenient, stronghold. I highly recommend that you choose them. I mean their stronghold gets loving Dwemer guards, what else is there to even say? Never, ever go Redoran.

gently caress I just found out what one of the rewards for the Temple is and now I want to retrain. The idea of being a highly devout reincarnated demi-god serving the living godkings of Morrowind by smashing n'wahs with a gigantic sacred hammer is too cool to pass up  Morrowind confession: I found a full set of ebony armor and couldn't be bothered to trek to Creeper/Mudcrab and swap items for 20 minutes, so I just gave myself the gold and dropped all the armor on the floor.

Its quite doable, and in fact, I do this on every character and have found chameleon to be pretty unnecessary. You do, however, have to be willing to sit tediously and train for a while. Luckily, you can do this while you're not even at your computer. I find the Morag Tong guildhall in Balmora a great place to train, since there's lots of screens that block vision but that also let you get a good angle to be technically in sight range of a couple of npcs. Once you get up to a reasonably high sneak, probably 60-70 plus, it all goes much faster. You do need to be careful to level weapon skills a bit so that you don't get splattered by leveled monsters and npcs and the like, but I find I can usually max out sneak by like... level 10 or so. Of course, chameleon always helps and if you roll without it, you need to be cautious about staying behind people (since the AI in Morrowind isn't as blind as that of Oblivion/Skyrim), but sneak is actually really strong and brutal.

The start may have been a tad rough, but once that sneak and h2h got higher I could crouch and sneak right into someone's face and 1 hit KO them. Though for some reason I keep remembering him in the Telv House, I think I used magic mostly at the start.
