http://www.mediafire.com/file/bi5pjs2j3m11hdv/Morrowind_STEP_modpack.7z Someone ripped every MOD in the step guide into a pack. Extremely not kosher but if anyone wants something better than mgso with 0 effort have at it before it gets taken down. I agree with the intentions but not the way this guy went about it.

FactsAreUseless posted:Hlaalu are the most thematically appropriate house. Morrowind isn't about being a heroic protector, like House Redoran, or uncovering ancient secrets, like Telvanni. It's about coming to an island with nothing and clawing your way to power through money and connections. Most of the quests you do, in the main storyline or elsewhere, are all about influence, secrets, or money. Every guild quest, most of the main quests. Even the lore is all about moral ambiguity rather than clear Good Vs. Evil Adventures, like Skyrim. Hlaalu are the most Morrowind house. I like the Redoran hortator part where you have to convince a few guys to vote for you and then challenge one idiot to a duel. That's every Morrowind quest: find one or two people who will cooperate, stab the guy who doesn't.

The inverse being the Erabenimsun Nerevarine quest where you find the one guy who likes you then murder the half-dozen who don't. It's one of my favorite parts of the main quest. Telvanni are the most thematically appropriate Great House because they're amoral and live in giant mushrooms.

one bit about morrowind lore that i didn't realize until i sat down and actually read "a history of morrowind" ingame is that the reason house indoril doesn't have a presence in vvardenfell is that they mostly killed themselves in protest of conceding to the empire

Redoran are the most thematically appropriate house because their houses have the most austere exterior yet the most luxurious interior. Which is just like Morrowind: it looks ugly, but once you get in, it's one of the best game world ever made.

You don't need to conquer poor bordering countries to completely strip them of natural resources. A deal with the local kleptarchy suffices. Thinking about it more, I think a good answer would be that Morrowind was actually a threat. Really, that's why the game happens: even the last poisonous dream of the shattered and desolated dunmer kingdom has the power to destroy the empire. Luckily they were able to leverage Azura not being satisfied in her vengeance just with the disappearance of the "dwarves" (actually an empirically-minded local elven subculture that were time-quaked into near-non-existence imo, cf Ancient Tales of the Dwemer). E: vvv yes that too, religious motivation is big in TES Doc Hawkins fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Jun 17, 2017 |

Even the lore is all about moral ambiguity rather than clear Good Vs. Evil Adventures, like Skyrim. Hlaalu are the most Morrowind house. I disagree. All three of the houses are concerned with fact about clawing one's way to power through connections; it's what separates them from the regular guilds. Moral ambiguity is also familiar to all the houses. The Telvanni pretty perfectly embody that and even the Redoran dip their feet into it (the councilors allow a brutal tyrant to rule them because it is his brutality that has kept their house afloat). If you've only played one great house I recommend you give the others a playthrough as well. They all reveal important parts of Morrowind.

It feels like in subsequent TES games, characters may exhibit a brief suspicion of you or your abilities, but it's usually remedied after accomplishing one or two remedial tasks. And that's not taking into consideration the times when they're doing everything they can to recruit you the first time you ever meet them.

I'm having a blast with my unarmed Redguard monk character. I can't believe it's taken me this long to try hand to hand combat. Combat overall takes longer to resolve but I'm able to jump in and start stunlocking n'wahs immediately. My unarmed skill went from 35 to 40 fighting just the very first rat I came across outside Sedya Neen. Pretty quickly after starting I came into possession of the Northern Belt of Knuck Knuck, which has a "damage fatigue 3-120 points on touch" enchantment and as you can imagine that's just perfect for my character. Combined with the Adrenaline Rush racial ability and a bottle of Mazte, my Strength, Agility, & Endurance get boosted to over 100 and then not much can stand up to my dude at that point, and he's only level 5 so far. Preaching to the choir here but Morrowind rules. e: Are there any good clothing mods for whats essentially a wandering Shaolin monk?

Even without buffs, once enemies go down they rarely get back up long enough to hit back again. It may take a while but you both know how it will end.Cream-of-Plenty posted:I think that's one of my favorite aspects of Morrowind, is how indifferent most NPCs are to the player (at best) and how outright hostile they are (at worst).

I downloaded Darknut's Little Weapons mod which someone suggested, but I'm getting an error on a couple weapons when they appear. quote:TES3Stream Warning: Model If I click yes the game keeps going, but if I try and equip the item the game hard crashes. It wouldn't be so bad, but I finally got my hands on Chrysamere and it's having a problem as well, so if anyone has any tips that would be great. I tried deleting the Darknut files with that item name to revert to defaults but no dice.

Hi, I installed Morrowind... for the first time! I'm new to TES and the remotely closest things I've ever played to it are Fallouts 1-3 and New Vegas. I didn't grow up on PCRPGs like a lot of people I know did. What are some general tips for a beginner like me? Someone linked this page and it seems pretty good. What are some recommended skills/classes/races to use or invest in? What are some that are kind of useless and should be avoided? The first page in this thread has a ton of mods. I'm not really interested in the graphical overhaul mod, but are there any that gives me more resolutions and aspect ratios to use? I'm also interested in mods that shows item ownership (so I know when I'm stealing) and other such quality of life improvements. Fast travel would be nice too. Is there anything like that? I'm checking out the Chocolate Pack now. I'm using the Steam version in Windows 10 64-bit. Do I need to reinstall it in a different directory? Do I need the 4GB patch? Thanks!

Top two 'mod' recommendations are the Morrowind Code Patch and MGE-XE. The Code Patch fixes bugs and allows for a variety of quality-of-life improvements (like showing ownership). MGE-XE is used for additional resolutions/ratios, as well as viewable distant land if you don't want to rock distance fog like it's '02. I'm not sure if there's any way to add fast travel like there is in any of the Fallouts; Morrowind has a collection of teleport spells to get you out of sticky situations, and transit networks between major cities. Going from town to a dungeon or quest objective is always done on foot. General tips: Look for synergies in race/class mixes. Try to have a weapon skill above 50 at the start of the game. A Redguard favoring Long Blade is good for this. Custom classes are cool, and allow you to focus a bit tighter (you generally don't need as many weapon/armor skills as default classes come with). Something I haven't seen other people mention much, but which I've found useful: The Fighters and Mages Guilds of each town have restocking supply chests, with a collection of handy potions, available for any members. They're also usually right next to each other in town and the Mages Guilds will teleport you between guildhalls. If you meet entry requirements (grab Mysticism as a class skill, it's good for those teleports, and then the Mages'll let you in), you can quickly teleport all across the island and grab like 80 potions. Welcome to Morrowind.
