Nevermind that you shouldn't be able to DMCA a Morrowind mod because the EULA both you and darknut agreed to opening the creation kit said Bethesda owns everything either of you made using it. asking where it was hosted and if I put it on the nexus he'll request it be taken down naturally my first instinct is to tell him to pound sand

Average Bear posted:Wow, Sotha Sil Expanded is a fantastically detailed mod that should never be played by anyone. You could tell that an awful lot of love went in to Sotha Sil expanded. Unfortunately I think it tries to do a lot of things that the Morrowind engine just flat out wasn’t designed for, and for me anyway I felt it focused waaaaay to much on puzzles to be fun. I’m a reasonably patient person but a lot of the time it was impossible to tell what I was supposed to be doing, and impossible to verify whether what I had done was actually right or not. Once I got to the city I just peaced out. A mod that actually cut it down to a more reasonable size would be great imo.

I'm gonna start listing some Sotha Sil Expanded tips because they're not documented anywhere. - The daedreon-aethernon cubes go in containers. There's one in each district and they look like barrels with lightning rods coming out of them. Usually somewhere you have to jump to. Not a problem, considering you're at the part of the game where leaping from town to town should be how you get around. - You can and should tcl through the sewer levels and everything before the city. You're not missing anything functional. - When doing the cure the tree quest, you need to go to the malfunctioning fabricant house and kill them, go to the plant development lab or whatever (with the slaughterfish in it) and use the panels there, and finally go to the room that sits just above the oil moat and activate the panels there. - When you have the option to convince someone, their disposition has to be at 100.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:You forgot Probably a holdover from Daggerfall (and Arena I think?) where you selected your character's province of origin rather than directly select their race. I imagine that was how it was going to work in Morrowind too but it got changed at some point in development. (As an aside, I appreciated that Morrowind added the Imperials as a race. It always bugged me that I couldn't select the Imperial Province during Daggerfall's character creation.) Still a weird question when your character is explicitly stated to come from the Imperial City.

Out of all of the races in Morrowind I feel like Imperials are the most "lazy", in that they're basically a copy-paste of dramatic depictions of Romans from other forms of media. Notwithstanding the fact that there's some pretty cool lore there I find them to generally be quite boring with a few exceptions (Uncle Crassius was clearly inspired by someone who'd watched Monty Python, Caius is a Skooma addict). I find Nords and Bretons pretty dull too, but Redguards are kinda cool.

Skooma addict is just Caius' cover. Somebody has to be the point of contact in Balmora, and it may as well be someone people will overlook.

It always bugged me that I couldn't select the Imperial Province during Daggerfall's character creation.) Yeah, in Arena and Daggerfall your character creation starts by clicking on a map to choose your province and therefore your race. Pretty much the same graphic in both. (Screenshot resolution is pretty random as it depends on the sites I found them. Sorry.) Clicking on "imperial province" did nothing.   Arena is the only game of the series before Oblivion where you actually visit the Imperial Province. There's only one city in here (the Imperial City) and the NPCs just look the same as the Nords and Bretons. Battlespire replaced that with a list of photos in a grid, with the three human races on the first row and the three elf races on the second. No beast-race. Imperials weren't a race yet back then.  Redguard doesn't have a character generation phase, obviously, since you play as Cyrus. Morrowind added back the beast races (after they changed their plan on not making them playable because all of them would be slaves), added the Imperials as a human race, and added the Orcs. The province map would have been weird because Orsinium is a really tiny sliver of High Rock. If they had used the map interface of the first two games, choosing to play an orc would have been a pixel-hunting proposition. However I think that "where do you hail from" sounds better for IMMERSION than "what race are you actually, I mean you're standing right in front of me so I should be able to tell really".

FactsAreUseless posted:He admits to the addiction in the game, and some of the South Wall patrons mention it. Mention that he's holding it surprisingly well and that people who thought they could push that junkie around have kind of... disappeared, yes. When Caius talks about it, it sounds like he's joking or deflecting (avoiding saying the real reason why he leaves for Cyrodiil for example), not like he's talking about a real problem.

Caius is another great example of Morrowind's ambiguous story. Is he being recalled to the Imperial City because he's a top agent and needed to sort out the trouble there? Or is it because he's about to go native as a bum in the rear end end of The Empire? Does he send you off to explore and learn the ways of the land in order to nudge you into the prophecy or because you're getting in the way of him hitting dat skooma pipe? Bretons are the most meh race, I can't really remember any of their defining features. They're kinda french and apt at magic?
