How does it compare to MO in terms of installation/setup? I've been happy w/ MO but those screenshots make me want to give it a try.

I think Skyrim may win the eating game. My favorite review talks about the main character as a bodiless all-devouring void, stopping time to flick leaping salmon out of reality and down their bottomless gullet.

the nerevarine can create an infinite supply of yams, buy them for a profit, eat a million at once, and come out of it smarter

nerevarine can buy every bottle of liquor in the world and down it at once, and come out of it strong enough to punch the planet in half

More immersive than shouting and slashing my entire way through as the dragon born. Violence isn't always the best solution, Bethesda :saddowns:
The fact that EVERYTHING wasn't voice acted made the game much better, the lines you DO hear a million times feel more genuine that those in Skyrim and Oblivion :sterv:. I think voice acting is ruining modern RPGs, damnit. So much money spent on a mediocre addition to the game. Also, why arn't there more quests that can be solved with more than just violence or fetching some stupidly specific item?

Now excuse me as I try not to trip over the pile of artifacts in my room on the way out.

I hope you don't think morrowind was great in this regard, as that is literally 90% of the quests.

also vivec even says "reach heaven by violence", checkmate false incarnate :c00l:

Just by playing normally I got over half of the imperial cult quest items taken care of without even getting the actual quest.

I just wish the boots of the apostle had a better enchantment on them, 20-30 levitate for 30 seconds it pretty weak for some ancient artifact of great power. Especially when the boots of blinding speed and a constant effect levitate belt lets you fly around just as fast permanently.

At least Boots of the Apostle have good armor on them. Best light armor boots in the game, IIRC.

I should probably just fire up the editor and change the enchantment on the BoTA to +200 speed and be done with it. Not that anything can even come close to killing me, 100% chameleon means everyone just stands around and is actually willing to talk even if they're normally hostile.

This was a cool thing about Morrowind that I don't think the other two games didn't even try for

Oblivion either gives you a blank dialogue box with "Goodbye." to anyone you're not supposed to be talking to or blinks like you're activating a switch and I think Skyrim worked the same way

6th House members actually had dialogue if you used chameleon or calm creature/humanoid. That was a nice touch, shame they had to do voice acting for every line of dialogue in the later games.

Oh man, the Elders are really lovely guys. Their astral projection seminars are literally off the fucking planet, and highly recommended.
I started a game using a suggestion earlier: pick a terrible NPC class and go with it. So far my Farmer has been using Blunt and Unarmored in combat and Speechcraft elsewhere. I've also picked up Illusion and Block from the ground up, and I'm dumping one attribute bump every level into Luck to even things out a bit. It's a lot of fun, though I've realized that there aren't a lot of good 1H blunt weapons.

as far as i can tell from not being insane enough to write for bethesda, the daggerfall hero existed in 7 places at once, could climb out of reality at will by pressing against a wall at a 90 degree angle, and cloned numidium all over the place

the real reason the dwemer left the realm was so they didn't have to figure out dragon breaks. i'm bored enough to play morroblivion and i don't want to think about it too much

edit: i posted them earlier in the thread but daggerfall's patch notes are amazing

skeletons no longer moonwalk
werewolves no longer infect you with a disease that makes you turn into a boar
enemies are now capable of equipping items

The numidium can only be controlled by someone descended from Tiber Septim, that's why at the end of Daggerfall the hero can't just climb on his shoulder and go all johnny sokko

e: he could speak like 12 languages though, thats canon

Yeah but climbing out of reality tended to kill her via falling death, or at least leave her trapped in the void which was probably also somehow namiras deadric realm in lore that will be revealed in the next big thing from the drunk guy who wrote morrowinds lore.

http://tes.ag.ru/dagger/files/patched.txt

there were two programs that came with the game that existed entirely to fix broken maps and saves and had to be patched regularly to not be broken.

there's an unofficial patch that fixes a specific bug where acrobatics trainers instead teach you orcish

i loving love these broken pile of poo poo games

edit (the best ones):
Illegally bashing down doors no longer gives you a revered legal
reputation when you are caught.

You will no longer start the game with negative spell points after
you created your character. The problem with the negative hit points
still exists however.

* Equipping the Wabberjack no longer crashes the game.

* Starting a spell name with $ and ! no longer reduces the spell cost.

Arrows no longer wrap around to 0 when you get more than 200 of them.

* You can now identify items when the holiday allows it.
