Granted, I modded Creeper to have 1000000 gold on him and to accept more items...beats juggling a hundred items to sell a single glass cuirass and wasting time waiting for him to get his gold back. Nothing worse than cleaning out some rich guy's house (and inventory  ) and not being able to sell his expensive but useless stuff.

"And then the Nerevarine engaged in what would later be called, "the barter dance" with Creeper. He would sell one large item and purchase many small ones, then loiter until Creeper was able to magically summon more gold. Then the Nerevarine would resell the many small items he just purchased, one at a time. Creeper would buy them at the exact same price for which he sold them because Creeper was a loving retard." "This dance would often go on for many months at a time, occasionally interrupted by a Dunmer in leather bondage gear appearing only to be instantly killed by the Nerevarine. The bondage gear would then itself become part of the dance."

lmao his backstory is pretty cool, though. I've never actually stuck to a pure combat character in Morrowind before, though, so no surprise I've never run into him, just goes to show how much there is to see and hear... well, read, in this game it's amazing how cyrodiil and skyrim are so much bigger but so empty in comparison it's equally amazing how much poo poo is broken in Morrowind due simply to Bethesda forgetting things, like adding the script for that guy offering training services, or how the medium armour master trainer was made but they forgot to put him in the game, or how the master spear trainer is inexplicably behind a locked door that is a crime for you to open and has no way of legally being unlocked TacticalUrbanHomo fucked around with this message at 11:42 on Mar 1, 2014 |

The thing is: you are all talking about brownness and the fog. When I originally played, someone created this external program that allowed you to extend or reduce visible distance in Morrowind. I had such crap PC that I had to reduce it below built in settings. Remember how hard it is to find poo poo using in game directions? Imagine doing that when you can only see about 3 meters around you. For a while I simply wan't aware that there is an asteroid hanging above Vivec because I didn't see it

What I don't get is... they're voice actors, but they can only do one voice? There is so little variation in Oblivion and Skyrim between characters' voices, when they could at least try out different accents/pitches/any loving thing.

is it true that in Oblivion the deadric princes were voiced by the devs? Sounds likely because they sound like dweebs. Also, a fun fact: In Morrowind when you switch to 3rd person camera while a daedric prince is speaking you will see that your character's lips a moving, they speak using your mouth

All fortify effects on gear (and probably more than that) are restoration. Boosting your Restoration skill makes all restoration effects increase, even those. Make a potion of Fortify Restoration and drink it, then put all your Fortify Alchemy gear and make another, then take off all of it and repeat. It's Morrowind as gently caress.

I'm still puzzled that they even bothered with creating the animation, considering there is exactly 7 instances when this will happen AND you have to switch to external camera AND watch your own face to even notice this is happening. This even happens with the underwater shrine, your guy floats there in the water blabbering. It really impressed me, as a kid. "What do you want with me, mortal?"

I love the super long draw distance. The first time I was in Vivec to finish the Tribunal pilgrimage I saw the mainland. I ended up in the drink and decided to swim over and see exactly what was over there. As I got close I saw what seemed to be a TARDIS in the sky and got very annoyed. Eventually I made it past the slaughter fish and dragged myself into the mainland only to find that area empty and devoid of everything. I want to see what the hell the TARDIS was and it turned out to be a castle that the bottom of didn't render properly past a certain distance. I ALMSIVI'ed back to Vivec. I did a couple quests in Vivec until I reached the silent pilgrimage. I guess what you're supposed to do is walk all the way across the island, but this is the world of CHIM. This is the world of CHEESE. You could very well abuse ALMSIVI and Divine Intervention to make your way across the contingent. Or go there first, Mark the shrine and Recall from Vivec. I wanted to do something more interesting. On the temple canton in Vivec there's a shrine that gives you a flight buff if you feed it a flight potion. I fed it my finest flight portion and set off. The shrine gives you like a hundred points of levitation for god knows how many seconds. So I try and see how far I get. Sailing over the Ascadian Isles was easy. I decided to fly a bit closer to the Ghostfence because it was a shorter route. One by one I picked up a pursuing swarm of cliffracers. Soon a half dozen of the fuckers were on my rear end. They kept sneaking up on me and hobbling me with a lucky hit. I was starting to get paranoid about my levitation running out as I passed by Ald'Ruhn so I flew down close to the ground. The cliffracers, still on my rear end somehow, got stuck on the geometry. I kept myself no more than twenty feet from the surface for the rest of my sojourn and miraculously the terrible AI kept me from coming under fire until I reached the shrine. This is the story of Gary the Redguard Thief Priest, Master of House Telvanni. ALMSIVI!

I always tried to get into the game, since back when it was new. Back then I had a good excuse for giving up on it because my then-current computer couldn't really run it. I tried again and again over the years, last time about a year ago. (or so I think) I never could get into it. I could get into Daggerfall, (still can play it today!) I could get into Skyrim. (I couldn't get into Oblivion but hell, who could) But I never, ever could get into Morrowind. I get only as far as to meet that first guy you are supposed to meet in Balmora. What am I doing wrong?

Beginning Morrowind is kind balls hard and a little boring for new players. Best bet is to stay close to seedy ned. (whatever the starting town is called) and take whatever you can and sell it. Now buy appropriate armor weapons and then head to Balmora and start building a nest egg so you can start training up combat stats and to join up with either the mages, fighters or thieves guilds to get loot and quest money. Also make absolutely sure to use these 2 mods. http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42796/ http://download.fliggerty.com/download-37-292 Use mark and recall to fast travel to out-of-the-way locations and the faster running speed to prevent falling asleep at the keyboard.
