C-Euro posted:2. For you folks that are advocating a hand-to-hand playthrough, would you recommend any mods for such a character or is the style fine as-is? I really want to try a "minimalist" build (Unarmored and H2H, "live-off-the-land" and such) but I seem to remember hearing that a lot of enemies have really high Fatigue which makes H2H a chore. I am doing a H2H/Unarmored build now so I can give you some tips. The only mod I am using that affects those skills are options in the MCP that adds a strength modifier to H2H (I think its 40% of your str) and the option to fix the unarmored bug present in vanilla Morrowind. The only things that affect H2H damage are your skill and strength (with MCP), Speed doesn't do anything even though it is the governing attribute. I would suggest taking Restoration and Alteration as majors to go with H2H and Unarmored so you have access to Shield Spells and Fortify Attribute Spells. I am using a Fortify Strength 100 pts for 15 second custom spell that adds a good amount of damage. There is a weird thing I have encountered though and maybe someone else can explain it. My attacks seem to do a lot more damage to enemies before I knock them down. This is odd to me since enemies are supposed to have more stamina than health, but I can knock down most enemies in 3-4 hits, but then it takes more than that to kill them once knocked down unless I buff my strength. Buffing my strength before knocking them down also doesn't seem to make me do more fatigue damage. I don't know if its an addon or something, but it makes me think my attacks are ignoring armor or something as long as they are doing fatigue damage. For Unarmored, using Fortify Unarmored will give you more armor than a Shield Spell/Enchant, but you can't learn that type of skill until you get to Mournhold.

Chocolate Pack update: I got some good feedback from here and from reddit, and have already incorporated a bunch of changes into the pack. The pack has had about 100 downloads by my best estimate, and my website post on it has gotten nearly 2,000 hits, so that's cool. It turns out BTB's Game Improvements kind of supersedes Armor Balance, so the latter need not be used. Talrivian's State-Based HP is made obsolete by GCD, so that's not needed either. Dodge Mod was meant to tackle a bug that is fixed by the Morrowind Code Pack, so Dodge Mod should probably not be used. Nothing breaks if you use these three mods, but it's better to be safe than sorry. They will be phased out in future pack updates. I've added a few miscellaneous mods, but big coming changes include the addition of Starfire's NPCs, On the Rocks, and More Detailed Places 2013. The 'big reveal' blog post for Chocolate Pack 1.0 will have author information, links to every included mod, and a short description of what each one does. I'll also include info on which mods to disable for best performance if that's a concern.

Now that I think about it, you're probably right. As for dealing with Arthmoor, I remember negotiating with the unofficial patch team while working on my quest alternatives mod for Morrowind, because going through the original quests turned up more areas that was within the patch's jurisdiction to fix. I also found bugs they introduced and informed them about it. Many of my changes had to overwrite theirs, but the Morrowind unofficial patch team was cool about working with me.

The MGSO patch in the OP has a fixed version of On the Rocks with the regular Ald Redaynia spelling. If you don't want to use it or JMS doesn't allow it or whatever, I think all you have to change is the one cell name. As far as I can tell, that worked for me.

I think what Morrowind really needs is to let players create fully developed characters of whatever level and abilities they choose at the start of the game. Personally, I've leveled up enough characters in this game that I'd much rather go into a new playthrough with an in-game menu at character creation and just pick out everything I want from the start including all my skill levels, spells, and gear in my inventory, along with what guilds and quest lines my character has already completed. I'd like to step off the boat as a fully leveled Nerevarine with Dagoth Ur dead, or maybe as a fully decked out Grandmaster of the Morag Tong, or as the Telvanni Archmagister who already knows every spell in the game, or maybe a buffed up Nord from Skaal village who just goes out and punches bears to death all day, that kind of thing. It seems like the game would be a lot more fun to mess around in if you had all your messing around tools available from the start.

Cast spells constantly when you're just wandering around, restore fatigue is great to cast all the time anyway. Alteration just do shield or something.

Is it a normal AI reaction to just run away when you attack from high enough stealth? I had stumbled upon a clutch of daedra hiding in an underground chamber, mostly scamps. They were pretty dopey and just stood around while I cut them down. But, then I found their head honcho, an ogrim. The first I'd ever seen. Now here's where it gets strange. I saved my game before challenging him and went to the restroom and when I got back the game had resumed, I was out of my crouch and the ogrim was standing directly in front of me. I guess the game still though I was crouched, or maybe you don't leave your "stealth" until you move while standing. Whatever the case was, the ogrim's stomach was pretty much in my face, so I went to town. And he ran away! He made a little circle then proceeded to try and run down the ladder to his lair, across the chamber and up the pathway to the exit, but I took him out before he got there. It was a little off-putting, I'm not sure if that ogrim was supposed to somehow be friendly and/or related to a quest of some other path, but I wasn't about to go without attempting to kill a strange monster to see what loot it had.

If an enemy can't "see" you they will just run around all over the place, yeah. They either beeline toward you or run away like a benny hill sequence.

If an enemy doesn't have a ranged attack to hit you they'll run in circles attempting to avoid attacks until they die.

Is there any way to figure out how outdated an installed mod is, or to more easily find updates for them? I thought mlox did this but I tried running it now to (seemingly) no luck, but perhaps that program itself needs to be updated since everything in my current install hasn't been touched for a couple years. Speaking of updating I'm also still hoping someone can answer this- C-Euro posted:1. Is it safe to run the stuff in the OP's Option 3 (MCP, .exe optimizer etc) over a non-fresh install? My most recent save is from nearly two years ago so while I have a lot of those patches installed, there are probably newer and better versions out there. Having to do a complete reinstall will likely harsh my current mellow towards the game as well, but I seem to remember saving the ZIP files for all the mods I'm currently running.

All but the morrowind patch project can be installed on top of an existing install without causing issues, so long as you have an unmodified version of morrowind.exe and you follow the install order. If MCP or the EXE optimizer has been run before then a backup or the original should be in your morrowind folder. The morrowind patch project issue is that it may cause mod conflicts.

As for MCP and/or the EXE optimizer, I do have a Morrowind.Original in my folder so I would just rename that to Morrowind, have it overwrite the Morrowind.exe that's already in there, then run MCP/MPP (deactivating/deleting the patch that's already there)/EXE/4GB, correct? I have one save at level 2 so I wouldn't be too beat up if I lost that, so long as the game actually runs. E: Black Pants posted:Oh poo poo.

Honestly getting to mouth level in telvanni is so easy I don't know why you'd bother. Show up with 5 muck and sload soap, mark and recall and you can get all the way to mouth with absolutely no combat and do it in about 20 min. The master Aron quests take another 20 min tops even at low level. The hardest part is hitting wait while the stronghold gets built. If you haven't played enough to know how to do this play through it normally because wtf why else are you playing.

That's what I'm kinda stuck on at the moment, actually: do I go with my recollection of it being great, or do I try this BTB thing that everyone is recommending? Apparently it doesn't take into account Tribunal and Bloodmoon stuff? I don't know. For some reason I preferred it over Wakim's back then. As for the Argonian thing, I don't know the answer to that, sorry.

BTB's Character module also gives Argonian's perma-water-breathing, and the readme claims something like "I know some of you think this will cause problems with a certain quest, well I tested it and it doesn't." I haven't tried it, but according to UESP, the quest completes if you're at 10 health in the water, no matter how much breath you have. Maybe that's how it can still work?

Think I might reinstall ESO this weekend and do some more comparisons of each game's take on Vvardenfell. I finally decided to go and check out Ebonheart since none of my current questlines ever had anything to do with it, probably since its more on an Imperial sorta town. The two versions are nothing alike, but then I suppose the city of Vivec was built on top of Ebonheart somewhere after the second era... though I'm not sure how to explain all the water.

I'm on my last few mods before I start my next run. NoM 3.0: include? From what I remember betaing it, it was pretty fun, but I can't remember how much of a nuisance it was, especially if you run something like TR or Morrowind Rebirth or GDR. GDR? I've nearly always run with it due to it making the last trek feel somewhat more epic and preventing a level 1 from stealing keening. But I'm also thinking of Morrowind Rebirth, which I also haven't played with in forever, and I can't remember if it has GDR/NoM compatibility. Anyone have opinions on these three mods and their use together? (oh no also mountainous red mountain! That is a really good mod that almost definitely conflicts with MR but has GDR compatibility. This is going to be hard.)

NoM 3.0 along with Lite Beer! is a very fun mod if you like more survival aspects such as eating sleeping and drinking. It also adds a butt load of new ingredients, npcs, quests and misc. items to use. As sson as you step out of the census office it gives you a customization option to tool how difficult you want it to be. Sleep Schedule, water or alcohol to drink, go omnivore or vegan.

Is the city of Ebonheart not on the coast of mainland Morrowind? According to the lore and maps, the city of Ebonheart is on the coast of Morrowind, Vivec City lies directly north of it on the coast of Vvardenfell, and Castle Ebonheart was built west of Vivec after Vvardenfell was opened to outlanders several years before the events of TES III. The Tribunal have been around for a couple of millenia by the time of ESO; I would think that Vivec City is built by that point too, and the city of Ebonheart is supposed to be an ancient (former) capital city built by Dark Elves during the 1st era, not an Imperial town. Jesus, nothing makes me geek out like TES lore.
