Horror Queefs posted:I do, but I'm not sure what you mean by topics section. I guess i'll just run the game windowed and alt tab out and look poo poo up when I need, but that's irritating. I also need to find out how to do enchanting because I took it as a main skill and it seems like it would own and be fun when you open the journal it says "options" in one of the corners, which opens up a screen where you can select topics. So for example if I was trying to find the directions for the quest to go stab a netch to death with a fork, i'd go "topics" "f" and it'd have a list of every quest-related topic beginning with f, and fork would be there somewhere.

I've made a Dunmer crusader and I'm gonna do the entire temple pilgrimage on foot with no help outside the in-game knowledge. I'll probably post a mini-trip report on how each shrine visit went, too.

Umm people, you know that when you click on "options" in lower right corner of your journal it shows a list of topics and one button that says "quests" on the right side. Click that and you will have a list of your active quests with arranged dialogue for them. This was added in Tribunal which I believe you all have.

Horror Queefs posted:Enchanting With enchanting you can enchant various items with magical properties (with soulgems), enchanted items need less charges to be used and you can recharge them more efficiently (with soulgems). Soulgems are bread and butter of your enchanter. You can find them around the world or buy them from a merchant. But they are useless while empty so they need to be filled (you can find some already filled but that is rare). In order to fill them you must first learn a spell called "Soul Trap" from the school of Mysticism or find an enchanted item that grants you that spell. Cast that spell on a creature you are fighting and kill it within the time limit, which is 60 seconds for that particular spell. You cannot use it on humanoids because there are no black soulgems in Morrowind. Anyway, when you kill a creature his soul will fill a soulgem in your inventory but only if the gem is large enough. You would also want to keep variable sizes of gems on you so that you don't fill a grand soulgem with a soul of a rat. That's just wasteful. You can use that soul gem to recharge your depleted items (just drag and drop the filled gem on your character) or you can use it to enchant some item. The better quality of an item, more likely it will hold more enchantments. You will also need to learn the type of spell you want to put on the item. So for instance if you know the spell "Firebite" that deals 15-40 fire damage on touch, you can enchant the item with 5-10 fire damage on target with 5 feet radius. You enchant items by finding an enchanter and choosing the "enchanting" option in dialogue. And lastly, while souls of all creatures can only enchant items with "on use" or "on strike" abilities, souls of some creatures (Ascended Sleepers and Golden Saints) and gods (Vivec and Almalexia) can be used to create a constant effect enchantment and that is extremely powerful. Hope I didn't miss anything.

In Morrowind you can do anything with any skill - go ahead and pick whatever skills you want. Even if you're all weapons and armour-focused you can still do magic. You might not be good at it until you level up those skills, but you can still do it.

Nah, Soul Trap is a low level spell, you will only need to train a few levels in Mysticism for it to be cast consistently.

Installed Morrowind and made my first character ever, thanks to this thread. I used the key/inventory window trick mentioned earlier to get into the warehouse immediately after leaving the census building. Within two minutes I was irretrievably stuck in one of the wooden stair beams because I was trying to jump over a guard who was blocking my path. After a reload, I exited from the second-floor door, jumped to the pier (losing 1/3 of my health in the process), then tried to jump over the knee-high rope railings-or-whatever into the water. Got irretrievably stuck in the rope. After another reload, I nearly got stuck on another bridge while jumping my way around Seyda Neen. Bethesda~*

The Protagonist posted:^^^^ holy poo poo that would be rad...like a Lich questline but cooler and more original. There was a mod I played many years ago that added the Sixth House as a playable faction. I remember you had do things like infect Caius Cosades with corprus, build your own Sixth House stronghold and Charge Ebonheart while donning the Sixth House banner to slay the Duke. When you completed it, the entire island would have that red sky ash storm. Which was kind of annoying. But it was a pretty good mod overall.

I really like the Temple pilgrimage and the Temple questline generally. Even the "travel to this one tiny island on the opposite side of the map without talking to anyone" quest is a super cool idea and if you hate doing it legit you'll know exactly how to scam it (donating a cheap levitate potion to Vivec's shrine gets you 100pts of levitate for like 12 hours, allowing you to float gracefully over the whole island - this is so useful I have a lot of my characters using it nearly constantly. If you're anywhere on the south coast a quick Almsivi intervention takes you right to the shrine). Way better than the early Imperial Cult quests anyway, split between the priest dudes "Go beg for money", "Go find me some flowers" and "Go kill a ghost" for like five quests each.

Morrowind's theft system was pretty great. People recognize their own stuff, and guards take stolen crap for balance purposes if they catch you, but otherwise the smith in Balmora will buy the sword you stole in Vivec no problem. Oblivion removed that in favor of 'you can only sell stolen stuff to fences,' but I think a hybrid in which 'you can only sell stolen valuable or unique items to fences, otherwise nobody knows your random iron sword is stolen.' That would require a lot of hand placed unique stuff in rich people's houses for thieves to steal though I guess.

I really like this approach, and you'd only need to apply it to named items and unique items anyway for it to really make sense. Wouldn't take any more effort than hand-placing items to begin with. As is having generic items somehow tainted with omniscient stolen-ness is weird. But Oblivion is really just a lexicon of bad decisions so v  v

Re: 'what do I do?' Use your goddamn brain. You know, the thing between your ears which thinks and poo poo. Also use your eyes, they are important for reading what your brain is supposed to be processing. I know the whole reading information > processing information skill is atrophied in a lot of people these days, but it's not impossible to figure out.

If you roll Dunmer (75% passive resist fire), then go nab Denstagmer's Ring from up by Gnisis (gives 30% resist frost, fire, thunder damage) you can have 105% resist fire at level 1. Enemies will still use fire spells on you even though they do jack poo poo, meaning a whole bunch of fights become super easy. P.S Reinstalling Morrowind right now

Modding success story The Morrowind Code Patch has an option for making the AI actually use their zero-cost spells. Sounds good! BTB's Character module makes all the racial abilities equally bad-rear end. Hey, awesome! So now, for example, every Dunmer starts every fight by summoning a normal-weapons-immune skullghost. And your normal weapons with enchantments are still normal, silver or get the fetch out I think I've solidly recaptured the terrified feel of my first ignorant playthroughs.
