Yes, plus a few extra (any souls Miraak has + his own). E: He doesn't steal all the souls, it's random. That way you can still try and power-up to fight him but have the threat of him popping in and swiping your prize away from you.

I'm pretty sure Miraak only starts stealing souls if you actually go and meet him.

That would make sense. If you haven't introduced yourself, he only knows that there's someone else running around Tamriel claiming to be the Dragonborn.

I'm pretty sure the correct way to play Tribunal is to go there at level 2 and Sujamma your way through the sewer, instantly shattering each goblin's weapon over the head of the next.

Dear God, I spent half an hour just Soul Trapping my horse raising my Conjuration to 80. I'm level 17, no perks chosen, aiming for 600 health, 200 magic, 300 stamina. I know it;'s degenerate gameplay but who else has fallen in a hypnotic loop of pointless power-leveling? And just how strong is Conjure Dremora Lord?

Not that I'm outright against fast travel or anything, but I always thought it would be cool if Skyrim had a Morrowind-type network of fast travel spots that would later be replaced by a Shout that would effectively work as travel. Heck, I'm 99 percent certain there's mention of such shouts in the books that mention shouting in Morrowind. It'd certainly feel badass.

You can go talk to the driver and he'll get you to your destination via fast-travel for a small price. This would be unremarkable but you can go to cities you haven't discovered yet. Always nice in the early game if you want to quickly set down some easy fast travel locations for your 20th playthrough. EDIT: unless you mean this should replace fast travel as it works but eh. Just impose that challenge on yourself.

Well, I just mean that it would have been kinda neat if they had integrated Fast Travel with this unique power your character has. Make it functionally identical to how the map-click method works as it does now, but with a bit more visual flare, and make it one of the earlier shouts. Obviously with the game set up as it is, that would be a lot to ask of the player, so they would need to flesh out the fast travel network that exists a great deal more. And I do impose fast travel restrictions on myself from time to time. The Better Fast Travel mod is great for that, but it lacks the central pillar of my proposal. Just strikes me as a missed opportunity for world building, you know?

Man Whore posted:Maybe next year we will get TES 6. If it takes place in Highrock so help me god I will find you Todd Howard. You know I wouldn't really mind TES VI that takes place in NW Tamriel (Hammerfell and High Rock). It's not that much bigger than Skyrim so should be doable and I wager most people haven't played Daggerfall - I imagine most modern TES players got started with Oblivion since (I think?) it was an Xbox 360 launch title. (Yeah, Morrowind was on the original Xbox but I don't think it got nearly as much PR) Make it about how they are fighting back against the Thalmor or something. Brinner posted:I'd really like to finally finish a MW play through but I just can't do it vanilla and mods confuse the poo poo out of me and I don't have the patience to have 500+ mods on the go. I'd rather play OpenMW which faithfully reproduces the gameplay style of Morrowind (warts and all). I'd say do OpenMW with a selection of the best texture replacer &etc mods. Last time I poked around mods I bookmarked this thread on the STEP forums with a good set of links, there may be something better out there though. Someone needs to write up STEP for Morrowind

I think the one mistake I always make with modding Morrowind is using Distant Lands and whatnot. Looking back, Morrowind was one of the few games where you could tell the devs and writers were saying "it's going to take a lot of rendering fog to cover for the system's limitations, so let's put it on Vvardenfell." It's that sort of place that has dusty deserts, foggy marshes and smoky volcanic badlands. I'm half tempted to do another playthrough that way and see how it makes me feel now.

Berke Negri posted:Maybe one day I'll actually stick around long enough in a Morrowind playthrough to actually get to and do Tribunal, usually I work my way through the main quest and maybe dink around in Solstheim a bit but that's usually about it. Tasteful Dickpic posted:I like it (e: Miraak stealing your dragon souls) because it interferes with the core mechanics and establishes Miraak as a credible threat through gameplay. You do get your dragon souls back, but I had to look that up because at that point in the game, you've got dragons falling out your rear end in a top hat so I didn't really notice.

I also liked Tribunal quite a bit. I realize it lacked the whole exploration thing but you got to crash some theater troupe's play, get a pet packrat, and then go to the Clockwork City. What's not to love? Anyways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MnhhBoioCI

Tribunal's story and content are good apart from the one point where Almalexia, who is obviously completely loving nuts at this point, orders you to use the Weather-Witch to create Ashstorms in Mournhold so as to 'demonstrate her power', i.e. 'my power to order you to do this incredibly stupid thing because my godliness has decayed to the part I couldn't do it myself so take advantage of this Dwemer technology and claim responsibility'. But it's a real fun romp of knowing that everyone is trying to both kill you and use you to achieve their own goals at the same time. Helseth ordering you to murder his enemies and staging an attempt on his mother's life that is actually an attempt on yours, Almalexia sending you into deadly situations repeatedly. But my favorite thing is the King's Oath sword. Tienus Delitian explicitly claims the sword is enchanted to kill thieves and traitors, and is actually enchanted to take advantage of the player just glancing at the blade and saying 'ooh that's a nice sword' and completely missing the fact that it's designed to kill you. (The Fire Damage effect is on self)

I like how they hung a lampshade on the fact that they had not one, not two, but THREE naked-nord-tricked-by-a-witch plots in Morrowind by having a naked nord hanging out in Mounrhold. Only he just can't stand the heat.

ESO has a naked nord quest too in the Morrowind areas though it has a bit of twist You meet a naked nord and he tells you that he was escorting a witch and she charmed him and took all his clothes off and please don't tell my wife but it turns out he was just traveling with his wife and got blacked out drunk and took off all his clothes and went to go fight things naked like a true nord and afterwards assumed it was because of a witch and everyone is embarassed at the end.

I'm still incredibly disappointed there were no naked nords tricked by witches in Skyrim. Magically stealing a Nord Barbarian's clothes should have been the initiation quest for the Mages' Guild.

Sorta like that Finger Prince joke in Animaniacs. The same witch cursed both Nords, she has bad luck with Nord bodyguards trying to kiss her. The third guy is just too warm in Mournhold so he walks around in his underwear. Re-reading this thread got me to try Morroblivion. Super easy to set up and everything but holy hell I forgot how gross everyone looked and how poo poo the ui was in Oblivion.
