Mortimer posted:What the dick are you talking about Probably Dead Money constantly shoving the "you can't take it with you!!!1" theme down your throat from start to finish. And so far what I've played of Lonesome Road is like sitting through the ramblings of some college freshman who took a single philosophy class and thinks he knows the meaning of everything now. Also pretty pushy about it, except I think the theme there is "one person can change the world" or some poo poo. Other two aren't so clear, but I think their themes were jar brains and shooting tribal people.

Dead Money trying to stop you from taking the gold with a time limit can be circumvented by jamming all the gold into part of Elijah's skull and carrying it to the end with the grab command really hammers the lesson in imo Error 404 posted:Aka 100% of the fun for the non-pc folks. you can mod Morrowind Xbox for some godawful reason and you can do quite a lot as long as you don't push it too far. I don't know why you would but it's there If you have the non-GOTY version you have to mod your saves or they get too big for the system ram, even without mods added Doctor Goat fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Mar 24, 2014 |

Even if you don't, you've still got half that amount in pre-war money from cashing out all the tokens at the casino. e: and it's built on Bethesda's game design so you'll never be able to find a vendor who can afford a single brick.

i feel like 98% of people who didn't like dead money are people who are mad that they couldn't just stumble through another dungeon in a braindead manner like they did for the rest of new vegas and all of fallout 3 and oblivion.

For me it was because it combined basically all the game mechanics I hate most into one convenient horrible package. I'm just not big on companion quests or "run real fast or you'll die!" in a game that doesn't allow you to run faster than a leisurely jog.

I used the gold to get an AMR that was worth more than Las Vegas itself and enough ammo to kill a god. The Gun Runners can afford a lot and you can shuffle caps around between you and the merchant if you're careful edit: Incendiary ammo used to set enemies on fire if you targeted them in VATS. You didn't even have to shoot, you could murder people just by considering where to shoot them REALLY HARD over and over edit 2: and it didn't count as attacking someone for criminal purposes Doctor Goat fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Mar 24, 2014 |

and thus, nerevarine travelled to another world to get an anti-materiel rifle, and went to a much inferior world to acquire a "horse"

The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Twenty-Five The Scripture of the City: 'All cities are born of solid light. Such is my city, his city. 'But then the light subsides, revealing the bright and terrible angel of Veloth. He is in his pre-chimerical form, demonic VEHK, gaunt and pale and beautiful, skin stretched painfully thin on bird's bones, feathered serpents encircling his arms. His wings are spread out behind him, their red and yellow ends like razors in the sun. The wispy mass of his fire hair floats as if underwater, milky in the nimbus of light that crowns his head. His presence is undeniable, the awe too much to bear. 'This is God's city, different from others. Cities from foreign countries put their denizens to sleep and walk to the star-wounded East to pay homage to me. The capital of the northern men, crusty with eon's ice, bows before Vivec the city, me it together. 'Self-thought streets rush through tunnel blood. I have rebuilt myself. Hyper eyed signposts along my traffic arm, soon to be an inner sea. My body is crawling with all gathered to see me rising up like a monolithic instrument of pleasure. My spine is the main road to the city that I am. Countless transactions are taking place in veins and catwalks and the roaming, roaming, roaming, as they roam over and through and add to me. There are temples erected along the hollow of my skull and I will ever wear them as a crown. Walk across the lips of God. 'They add new doors to me and I become effortlessly trans-immortal with the comings and goings and the stride-heat of the market where I am traded for, yell of the children hear them play, scoffed at, amused, desired, paid for in native coin, new minted with my face on one side and my city-body on the other. I stare with each new window. Soon I am a million-eyed insect dreaming. 'Red-sparking war trumpets sound like cattle in the ribcage of shuffling transit. The heretics are destroyed on the plaza knees. I flood over into the hills, houses rising like a rash, and I never scratch. Cities are the antidotes to hunting. 'I raise lanterns to light my hollows, lend wax to the thousands the candlesticks that bear my name again and again, the name innumerable, shutting in, mantra and priest, god-city, filling every corner with the naming name, wheeled, circling, running river language giggling with footfalls mating, selling, stealing, searching, and worry not ye who walk with me. This is the flowering scheme of the Aurbis. This is the promise of the PSJJJ [sic]: egg, image, man, god, city, state. I serve and am served. I am made of wire and string and mortar and I accede my own precedent, world without am.' The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

MindSet posted:morrowind had great books. What are some of the best books in morrowind Poison Song is really rare and underrated. Good luck finding them all in game without looking up the locations. A Dance in Fire is good, so's the 2920 series The Charwich Koniinge letters are creepy/cool, and I didn't come across them for a long time. The Gold Ribbon of Merit's ending is awesome,  doesn't come close

The skill books in Morrowind are tolerable at the very least, but pretty much all of them are worth reading when you find 'em. I really like how even the parables and fables that they re-skin to fit the setting often end up teaching different morals, or have an odd twist somewhere within. The 36 Lessons are in a league of their own, though. I've been doing a pretty closed reading recently, but the amount of interpretation you can bring to the table is pretty nuts so it's slow going.  Part of me wishes I could share this with other people, but it's so drat entwined with the narrative, setting and mechanics that you really have to approach the whole game as a text.

is there a good mod that makes arrow flight paths less ridiculous? sometimes i'm using my auriel's bow and it's like "well, i guess we're shooting 30 degrees to the left now..." also, a good mod for retrievable arrows would be cool.

Morrowind code patch fixes the arrow flight path. They still don't fall 'cause there's no gravity, but at least they don't go in random directions.
