Morrowind alchemy is a fuckin Looney tunes funhouse of exploitable stuff. For instance the Tribunal expansion city Mournhold (city of light! City of magic!) has a chick selling bloat and netch leather for dirt. Her stock refreshes every time you leave her shop window. Both make a fortify intelligence potion. So you buy a load of mats, crank out however many potions you can, then drink them all, boosting you Int a bit. Then repeat. Every round of potions is stronger due to the Int boost. Eventually you have potions of Fortify Intelligence 27627727266 for 7772002992 seconds. Then go make potions of shielding, fortify magicka, etc and be a god. Lol don't do speed, strength, or fortify health.

I didn't know there was a seller for that in Mournhold but I'm scrabbling together yams and leather to make my enchanting stuff later! I'm going to make a flamethrower.

Paul Zuvella posted:It's just too small to include of its own without Hammerfell. The size it is on a map has no relation to how big the gameworld is, Skyrim in the lore takes longer than 2 hours to walk across. Thinking of the map as a series of locales just far apart enough to give you the feeling of "yeah I'm travelling here" and Lord of the Rings-esque landscape shots is more accurate than thinking of it as an actual geographical space. But yeah, next game is Hammerfell.

My low-level Morrowind rule of thumb is "run the gently caress away from two-handed weapons." Swords are sometimes ok, but if a bandit has a two-banded axe or hammer I just nope the gently caress out in the early game.

The beginning of Morrowind, if nothing else, does an amazing job of establishing the fact that you are a scrub.

Also keep in mind that agility will affect your hit rate and fall-down rate. Low agility scores can really bone you against those two-handed rear end-holes. I can't count how many deaths I've had from getting floored by some big Orc's hammer and crushed to death lying helplessly on the floor. One of my favorite builds was a really speedy dude who back-pedaled away from enemies while poking them with spears. You can get pretty good at dodging enemy spells this way too. Just watch out for some of those high-level spells that basically nuke the entire goddamn room. e: Eifert Posting posted:The beginning of Morrowind if nothing else doesn't amazing job of establishing the fact that you are a scrub. And that everyone wants your dumb, gringo rear end off of their island.

On the other side of it Neloth in Skyrim not having any of your poo poo and being completely nonplussed by your achievements is great. "Yes yes you're the Dragonborn, we're all very impressed.  "

Arguably at the height of the Empire's power at that. It just does such a great job of showing you what a Backwater Morrowind is. Considering how Oblivion and Skyrim turned out it's amazing that they can be so subtle with their World building.

I think the best part about being a mage is you don't have to carry around ten billion potions for each thing. I just made a spell for 2 mana to restore 1 to 5 points of all attributes. And also pants that shoot absorb health balls at people. (I found the netch leather  )quote:Arguably at the height of the Empire's power at that.

I didn't know soul gems could fail to recharge items in Morrowind. That's annoying considering the trouble you go through to find ones above common.

Snake-person Sexlord posted:Caius cracks me the gently caress up. Some shirtless scumball in a poo poo apartment doing drugs all day, and then you show up and he goes "lol are you fuckin with me?" He's one of the greats. I remember someone in the Southwall Corner Club saying that people who judge him based on appearances "aren't around anymore." I assume that he had to have been a beautiful combination of gently caress-up and genius to be assigned to lead the blades in a backwater, then treat that assignment like he's been sent to an open-air prison, living on a diet of skooma and crunches. Speaking of Caius, on a recent play-through, I read the book under his bed: War of the First Council. I must have done this before, and if it's the first history book you ever read in the game, you don't have the context to notice anything odd, but my mind was blown when I noticed it doesn't talk about "the" Dwemer but about House Dwemer, being the other "secular Dunmer house," along with Dagoth. Maybe this is just supposed to be an outlander scholar painting with too broad a brush, but it makes a lot of sense to me: the Dwemer were a totally separate culture from the Chimer, and only a separate race in as much as for mer, the former triggers the latter (see the chimer->dunmer transition and whatever's up with Orcs). There are other books which imply cultural interchange between Dwemer and ashlanders, there's the dunmer strongholds with their unique architecture and magic, and some Dwemer books were written in Aldmeris. I think the Dwemer may be best understood as a vanished fragment of Dunmer culture.

This is a whole nother debate but if you get me going I'll talk all day about how voiced dialogue killed RPGs. The dialogue in Balmora alone would bankrupt Oblivion.

What would the best mage equipment be? Is there a lot of stuff that just fortifies magicka? My other playthroughs were with spears so I focused more on that, but it looks like at the least I should go beat up the archmage and take his amulet.

Not really Elder Scrolls, but there is this little phone game called The Quest that plays a lot like an older style ES game. It really scratches that itch. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.redshift.thequest

I see all this crazy poo poo on crafting and comboing stuff that I really want to go all-in with some insane stuff in Skyrim (the greatest thing I made in Elder Scrolls was a ring in Oblivion with some decent buffs that I thought "hell yea" then I saw somebody online with a 100% invisibility and %life on hit and then I was a mere corncob)

It was designed such that so long as there were two or more enemies I could cast it forever and be immortal. Then the last one would have nothing and die.

I made a ring in Morrowind that turned you invisible when you put it on until you acted. Then I just took it off and put it on again. Ill never forget the time I rounded up all the guards in redoran house and led them into a closet, popped my ring on, then walked out, closed the door, and put a 5 point lock on it lol Jesus that game was insane. Fly above Caldera and fire a single spell with a huge blast radius down and kill everyone in the town. Used to buy huge stacks of scrolls of Windwalker. Gave you really fast levitation and full chameleon for like 3 minutes, I guess turning you into wind is the idea. gently caress silt striders, I will literally just fly anywhere I want.

Having an issue with Skyrim (and Fallout4) on PC. I'm using a PS4 controller and neither game will remember my control settings. I've tried running the game as admin, running in compatibility mode, making the documents/my games/*.ini files not read only. Any other fixes? I'm guessing its some weird file permissions thing since it affects both games.

So I was going to plan a big heist of the House vaults in Vivec, and it turns out I can just unlock all the doors right in front of the guards with only a 5 gp penalty. So my "big heist" was more sauntering in, standing behind a door from the guards, stealing everything I could lay my thieving hands on until I was too heavy to move, and teleporting out. Then I found out that when they gave me the penalty they also took back my stolen stuff, so that at least gave me a mini-heist to pull.
