That's a problem with almost every RPG game though, once you get the top weapons then you're set for life almost always. The second point is what Oblivion/Skyrim does, but it makes the open world kinda feel fake and plasticy, I much prefer the way Morrowind does it. In theory you could implement some sort of weapon levelling to deal with that without killing the open-world atmosphere though. When I said 'improving combat' I was replying to the guy wanting that glancing blows thing obviously. If you want physics based combat (like Dark Souls or DMMaM) that especially will take a while to do since you'll have to integrate a proper physics engine along with a ton of animation work.

I've never tried it before! This changes things.

To me the skills and faction status have always been the real progression in Morrowind, the gear is just kind of like "how soon can I pay dress up Barby and get what I want". Re: combat I think that the stamina usage (or lack there of) is the biggest fundamental problem with all the TES games. It's the one thing that the souls games do right and contributes the most to the experience but it's often overlooked. Stamina is integral to the experience and determines the entire flow of the combat: when you have none you're a sitting duck, the combat is fast paced so it regenerates quickly, and the more powerful the weapon the more stamina you use. In all the TES games they're largely meaningless bars that regenerate slowly and mostly dictate how fast or slow you travel (ironically stamina in Morrowind plays the biggest factor in combat, more so than in the more action focused 4 and 5).

I actually had to fight someone for the sword, as opposed to that daedric dagger that was just lying in the ground. I think its fun to find these items, even if I don't end up using them. In Skyrim I remember clearing out a dungeon and finding like an iron sword or something.

In Skyrim I remember clearing out a dungeon and finding like an iron sword or something. maybe someday i'll do a long effortpost about it, but unique artifacts are, in a way, the primary driving force behind me loving morrowind so much. not directly, but i'll put it this way: when i was new to the game, i wandered into a random cave that turned into a daedric ruin. in that ruin was eleidon's ward, ie the best shield in the game. it was the first 'oh poo poo' moment i had exploring morrowind and it made me want to go poke around in every single nook and cranny around the game world. it's like a carrot on the end of a stick type of effect, for me at least, knowing that a random nondescript cave might have something fantastic in it that isn't even connected to a quest or anything, and it's isn't random leveled loot but a loving amazing, unique item. or for another example, in my current playthrough i am exploring even the ancestral tombs and mines, and while looking for something for a mages guild quest, i happened into an ancestral tomb and walked out with the ring of phynaster, an artifact i've never seen before that kicks rear end. a loving ton of effort was put into making the game world of morrowind worth exploring and i do not feel that skyrim or esepecially, especially oblivion did this anywhere near as well (or hell, in oblivion's case, at all). it is the key to this games magic, for me at least.

Yeah the end goal for a MW playthrough for me is to unite the island's factions under my one man rulership, and to collect most of the artifacts. All of the other TES games didn't give me a goal like that, the factions were easy and there was no cool random poo poo lying around. I don't really stick around for story and combat alone, and Morrowind's story is better than any of the other games' anyway. e: Oh yeah, and to procure a gondolier's hat

A mod to unite The Great Houses of the Dunmer and drive the mongrel dogs of the empire from Morrowind without necessarily taking Dagoth Ur's side would be my dream mod if done well. I'd love some kind of systems-based approach to great house rulership (mines, revenues, spreadsheets) as well as events like the stronghold in Pillars of Eternity with various scenarios that come your way.

I've got a few mods brewing atm, one is a simple crafting mod, I finally got permission from darknut to be able to use his textures (after I asked months ago lol), but I think I can do smithing better than Morrowind Complete does. I think I might just wait until OpenMW 1.0 + better support and hack it in as a base skill. Another is adding in artifacts to TR that have interesting upsides and downsides and quests attached to them, but I can't say I have good idea of where they should go. I probably have 10+ items at this point (aka about 11) but I need to do another TR playthrough to find where I think they would best fit. I don't want to put more than one in kemel-ze, that place kinda sucks gameplay-wise but it's really cool the third that this most recent discussion reminded me of is an artifact shuffle mod. Essentially a randomizer for artifact placement, I'm trying to get away with as little scripting as possible but still have it fairly robust in what it can do. It might end up with replacing every artifact with a chest that contains a random artifact which wouldn't be amazing but this isn't skyrim (which has that capability built in)

Sotha Sil Expanded (trainwiz's GDR-equivalent for tribunal). Uvirith's Legacy and Building Up Uvirith's Legacy (if you're down with RoHT, you'll probably love these), BigMod (ranks in factions let you do more stuff). I also like Necessities and Stinkers but I may just be an idiot. --- I really wish there was a better way to collaborate on mod installations and orderings than posting lists like this. I've thought of using gitlab repositories, but I assume that would constitute distributing the mods not how the authors wanted. One of my Someday/Maybe projects is a mod package management system built off OpenMW and Nix. It wouldn't be compatible with hand-edits to the settings.cfg file, but more importantly people still want to play the non-open game. Also, I hear Nix is not-too-great on Windows. But the result would be a file that describes exactly what mods you want and what order to load them in. Edit the file and re-run the command, and mods are installed or uninstalled as you wish.

I think I got about 5-6 hours into the mod and entered a fail state when I ran out of repair hammers to fix the Boots of Blinding speed. It's just a really tedious, frustrating experience that seems designed for an entirely different game with different mechanics and a different engine. I felt like I advanced more through brute force than solving any puzzles, and when I realized that I would have to cheat to keep playing the mod or abandon all of my progress I decided that it just wasn't worth the time.

Yeah, stealth is something that Morrowind did not do well compared to later iterations in the series. Generally speaking, you're either 100% undetectable and the enemy AI shits the bed and they start panicking and running around like idiots or it's impossible to sneak in the first place. Never really feels like there's much middle ground. If you wanted to do stealth I'd suggest keeping sneak as a misc and training it and then using illusion magic.

Sneak is nice for stealth archers since it's easier to stay hidden at a distance, and you can save yourself the inconvenience of having to constantly reapply chameleon or invisibility effects. For thieving and backstabbing in close quarters then illusion magic is better. Of course any character can get both the Amulet of Shadows and Ring of Surroundings quite early in the game and be able to apply 100% chameleon pretty much at will, negating the need for Sneak or Illusion.

I'm reinstalling and modding Morrowind again. It's been over 10 years since I've last done this, and over 5 since I last looked into it. I'm running the Steam version on Windows 10 x64 and just want to use MGSO and maybe a couple other minor mods. Does MGSO let me change the resolution to 1920x1080? Do I still need to dick around with Wyre Mash and Python versions and whatnot? Or is that just if I'm doing bajillions of mods?

Any ideas as to what would cause everything at a close view distance to completely white out? I've got MGSO installed along with MGE and distant land. It seems to happen randomly, only affects outside cells and doesn't go away when I wait. Only solution I've figured out is to just reload a previous save and hope it doesn't happen again. At first I thought missing textures/meshes, but that wouldn't happen intermittently. Maybe something with MGE, but I wouldn't know what

Managed to figure it out, or at least a rough solution. Process of elimination showed me that it was a problem with MGE, specifically distant land. Tweaked various settings and found out that setting my draw distance to anything except 23 cells fixes the problem. Distant land off: fine. 22 cells: fine. 24 cells: fine. 23 cells: white out.
