^^Bhl is a really cool dude, and I suspect he preserved some of the more questionable content out of deference to the original creator Pozzo. I found the same thing going on with Cyran0 when I grilled him on the stupidest stuff in LGNPC--that it was Ostar's content and he didn't feel he had the right to obliterate it. I found a lot of similarly-bad bullshit in Uvirith Inside that I let slide in UL for too long, which is why I'm finally getting rid of the last of the stupid poo poo in UL 4 (though, not the on-purpose stupid poo poo). And I have no illusions that DHM and Grumblepunk even give a poo poo since they moved on. I don't have any reverence for my bad old poo poo. Also the former granted me a pretty free hand when he passed Uvirith Unleashed down to me. He only asked that I don't do as bad a job as this: http://mw.modhistory.com/download-15-14815 Vavrek posted:Really? The one with an island in an infinite sea, not just the tower-to-tower one? Huh.

What sort of self-respecting telvanni wizard doesn’t use Melian’s teleport mod for multiple marks. I think there’s even a lore friendly version out there that ties the amount of marks you get to your mysticism skill.

You also get a little handheld teleportation crystal to Caldera if you're using Propylons 1.3 rather than the Master Index mod. But that still doesn't solve the problem of RoHT cutting you off almost entirely from the western half of the island. I mean, an insular Telvanni maybe a more typical Telvanni, but not a forward thinking one. RoHT really needs to let the player choose what kind of Telvanni they want to be, not dictate it to them (and literally reward the player with a dunce cap for choosing otherwise). I've seen so many dumb mods characterize the Telvanni as Eeeeevil when they're really chaotic neutral on the ol D&D chart. Hell most Telvanni players, and I've heard from a lot, just want to mind their own business and do cool mage poo poo. I had players asking me for ways to free the slaves first thing after I brushed up UI and released my first crappy beta of Uvirith's Legacy, so adding more Good options became a priority.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:This person's mum had too many doilies. The impassable lace curtains in the doorways are the most hilarious. I had to TCL my way into every room to take those screenshots. So most of you have played UL I'm guessing. I want to take a small poll on my planned inscription overhaul. I spent so much effort improving the quest to make the quills without touching inscription itself, so the player wastes all this time and materials to learn how to make scrolls that are worse than vanilla. That was stupid. So the first thing I did was throw all the scrolls in the trash and try to come up with ones the player might use: https://www.dropbox.com/s/26vj4lr5v8hxusy/UL_Inscription_Scrolls.xls?dl=0 Asking around, I found people mostly use OP scrolls like windwalker. So making them OP (so even with a scroll-enchanting mod, you couldn't enchant them) is fine because they're one use only, which balances it out. I'll also be adding scripted scrolls that do things you couldn't do with a mod that simply alters enchanting costs to make enchanting scrolls viable. For example, one of the most common things people say when asked if they used scrolls is, "I forget to use them." So making scrolls that act like a ward that automatically goes off to cure you of poison gives them an edge over a potion. Next I have to write a bunch of recipe books the player can make or find. And since the scroll-making scripts are best started from the books themselves, I no longer need all those scripted quills. So I think I have to chuck out all the quill rituals (that I spent so long scripting, but oh well) except the last one, because making the player juggle seven different quills in their inventory + seven different inks is loving ridiculous. One quill plus the inks is more than enough. But I also made soul gem inks for taming the Books of Daedric Summoning, so I'm thinking I might have to chuck out the gemstone inks as well. Though I can explain away either in-game as the ink being a medium that absorbs the player's magicka (I'm not going to make inks for filled soul gems just to make scroll-making more like enchanting). So what I really want to know is, what would you prefer: crushing up rare soul gems or crushing up expensive gems? Gem pros: - the different gem types for different spell schools is pretty clear cut vs. knowing your scroll difficulty levels and what soul gems they need (though this can simply be mentioned in the recipe book). - I added Sri's gems to shipments and select sellers just for this (though I wouldn't remove them if I change to different inks). - gems feel kind of wasted on alchemy when cheaper ingredients have the same effect. Cons: - then again, I'm planning on making a new balance addon for ST Alchemy that gives gems rare alchemical effects, so you may not want to waste them on inscription. - you have seven inks instead of five. - inscription gets expensive and inconvenient, especially if you want to make a lot of restoration scrolls, which require sapphire ink (for no other reason than it's a blue gem). Soul gem pros: - if you loot a lot of bandit caves, you end up with stacks of soul gems you level out of fairly quickly that can be put to better use. - five inks to keep track of rather than seven. - no arbitrary limits like there not being enough sapphires for restoration, the most common effect. - most soul gems are way cheaper than gemstones. Even grand soul gems are only 200g, which is less than a diamond. Cons: - the best scrolls will require crushing up grand soul gems. - even low level soul gems can still be used for recharging. A couple other things to consider: - I'm letting you destroy scrolls to reconstitute into fresh inks, though on a 10/1 ratio. - Leveling your inscription skill won't require wasting as much ink on dumb low-level poo poo as before. - I'll be modding in soul gem sellers, so leveling past common soul gems won't make the supply dry up. And one last question: should I make inscription success lean more heavily on your spell school skill level or the inscription skill level? I'd like to balance it so a high inscription level can compensate for lower spell skill levels so players can specialize as a scroll mage (yes, this is something someone wanted to do when they were asking me about improving inscription). But you should also be able to compensate the other way, because you start with a low level of inscription, and trying to mimick Morrowind's failure mechanic made leveling up the old inscription system so frustrating most people never bothered.

i think that it should be based on crushing up soul gems because that automatically gates high level scrolls behind your ability to actually kill monsters, especially if you're adding in a vendor so you don't have to scrounge to level inscription. my personal preference would be to make inscription more heavily favored than school skill because otherwise it doesn't really feel like inscription is something new.

Entropy238 put it well. I really appreciate the amount of thought and care put into the system, but only abstractly, because I've never interacted with it and don't have a strong opinion on how it develops. Using soul gems seems more thematically appropriate as a material which can hold magical power. edit: or do what M-B T says, that'd be cool too.

To be a little bit more constructive, what would get me to engage with these systems at high levels would be getting something that makes my character more powerful and do things that they can’t do already. Maybe: - Access to an expensive spell damage effect that pierces reflect? - Something crazy like lasers and cloning a la MBT above. Teleporting enemies 100m in the air so they hit the ground and go splat kind of stuff. - Access to more powerful or more efficient spells - Maybe access to an effect that makes enemies or certain kinds of enemies completely passive (Daedra, beasts, undead etc ...) - Access to more passive abilities (maybe a Wish scroll?)/Powers - Unique summons that are more powerful than the existing summons you get, or which scale. Summons scale so poorly in to high levels and cost so much relative to other spell effects that they’re rarely if ever worth it. - Access to unique bound items, maybe bound items that scale. - Access to unique equipment with higher enchantment capacities than the ordinary base equipment. Sorry this kind of just turned in to a wish list of mods that I want. I haven’t dabbled with it at all but if you’re making an inscription system why not spin it off in to a separate mod and cake it in to the game world so players can use and experiment with it from level 1. Put scroll making NPCs in to Mages guilds too.

I've barely played Morrowind but I'm planning on starting a game either tonight or tomorrow. I need a bit of help picking a custom class. Probably going to pick a Dark Elf, focusing primarily on Magic & Archery, with Spears perhaps as a melee weapon. After picking those three, I'm a bit lost! Medium Armor makes sense for the hybrid balance, mysticism so I can heal myself, but I really don't know what to expect out of the other spell lines. Does grabbing Athletics or Arcobat in a major or minor pay off or will those just naturally level at a decent rate? Also I'm inclined to just grab The Tower for the lockpick daily, is that a bad call? I'm impatient and enjoy stealing things. I know this game has a really complex spellcrafting system, so fully planning to play with that when I get there also, partly why I want Destruction as a major. Any other 'you should make sure you do this' tips or reminders? I bought this game when I was too young to truly appreciate it, so i'm ready to dig in and see it through for a bit.

athletics and acrobatics are wastes of major skill slots, they'll always level way too slowly for any deliberate efforts to raise them regardless of what skill type they are. the tower is a trap starting option - since you can only use its skill once a day, you end up either waiting 24 hours or just loving off after opening a single door. a far better choice for opening doors is to pick alteration as a major or minor skill since it has a lockpick spell. the lover or the lady are good starting signs for warriors (25 pt passive bonuses are generally much more useful than once-a-day spells) misc advice for your build: -you're not going to find much endgame medium armor until you get to the expansions, it was a massive oversight in the original game -when you're buying arrows or marksman weapons, buying silver ones will ensure that you can hurt any kind of creature (enchanted as well, but those are more expensive) -pretty much every spellcasting skill has something to recommend it, it's hard to go wrong with any of them.

Mysticism's heal-thyself is using Absorb Health. Restoration has actual Restore Health spells. It also has Restore Fatigue, which you can make an easy-to-cast custom spell version of to let you sprint more easily. (Like, I don't know, 5pt/s with a duration set at whatever you can comfortably cast when you make it.) I'm an unapologetic fan of Medium Armor because I like the notion of balancing weight and defense and mostly because I like how it looks. You can steal a set of local guard armor, which is medium armor, if you want. Worrying about getting the best type of armor seems weird to me because I usually just level past endgame challenges, and/or am wearing a set of unique artifact armors. Alteration is absolutely a great school to have, along with Mysticism. You might want to consider Enchant: it's the game's complex spellcraft system, but you can apply it to items. If you want a good and magey birthsign, give The Atronach a look. Not regenerating magicka while sleeping is ... inconvenient, but not as bad as it seems, and 50pt of Spell Absorb is amazing for wizard battles. The Lady is a reliable old standby, especially since Morrowind's levelup HP gains take Endurance into account and are nonretroactive.

Mixing destruction and archery might be a bit superfluous given they're both skills that do ranged damage. Either/or would be fine. If you're taking spears and using vanilla levelling they'll raise endurance, so throwing in Armorer instead of destruction or archery would help to raise your strength, which helps you to carry more stuff, move faster and hit harder.

Thanks for all of the responses! A bound-mage does sound interesting. I already planned to play with Fair Magicka Regen (I find the base Magicka system to be a burden more than interesting take on the mechanic) so this is very appealing, even if just because it is so different than the usual Sneaky rogue types I’d play in Oblivion / Skyrim. I’m not convinced I am ready to get away from a Spear / Bow archetype yet, but will see if the Bound stuff is fun to use! Next thing I need to figure out is how to fix the scaling. I’ve gotten stuck on the ‘pickup your character sheet’ step of the tutorial each time I’ve launched now. My 21:9 monitor force stretches the letter to the point where I can’t see any button to click to close out of the letter, pick it up, etc. No keybinds seem to help, either, so it is definitely a 21:9 scaling issue. I’ll be finding a fix for this later on, I’m sure one is out there if not on Nexus, somewhere on WSGF.

Positive values are static (you buy one, the merchant has one less, forever; you sell one, the merchant has one more, forever); negative values reset. Random example: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Milie_Hastien Her extravagant belts and pants will always respawn, but you can buy out the rest of her inventory; except for some random expensive clothing. For guild chest, I believe you simply have to wait for cell reset -- IIRC, it's 72 hours without visiting the cell.

So a big new landmass/quest mod called 'Roscrea' just came out today. https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45531 Mod Description posted:Roscrea contains two main quest lines one where you assist the forest creatures for Lus. The other you destroy the Nord settlements with the help of a powerful hag. The Nord and Ice elf villages contain miscellaneous quests as well. Also there is the Loknarr located in Fort Greymoths prison which teleports you to the future of Mournhold. It is a grim sight indeed where you can make quick money. As well as purchase rifles and handguns. This is as close to a new expansion as your going to get. It took me over two years to put together all the scripts ,new meshes, and textures. I did it because I love this game and wished to experience new quests. I hope everyone enjoys the new experience as much as I did making it. Walk through included in the docs tab as well as in the download Going by the images it looks to be pretty cool/weird. Judging by the map the modder provided this shouldn't conflict with Tamriel Rebuilt.
