Babe Magnet posted:Much like any game, there's a bunch of different categories for Morrowind speedrunning. Getting to the end credits as fast as possible uses the scrolls, the lock-pick insta-kill bug, etc. and takes just under 3 minutes at this point (not counting loading screens). Yep, Volvulus got 17:32 (without loads) using that escort bug the day after it was found. We do still use the scrolls in All Main Quests, but they're now used to jump from Tarhiel to Creeper.

Looking at the 19:46 main quest speedrun on youtube, it looks like they do the corprus part of the main quest out of order by doing it after they start the Nerevarine/Hortator quests. How does that work? e: also, how does he always hit with his bound bow/spear when he has low skill and agility? BBJoey fucked around with this message at 14:24 on May 24, 2019 |

Yeah you already skip like 80% of the hortator quests that aren't Talk To Guy To Make Me Hortator and the slight variant of that for Telvanni where you just murder a bunch of dudes

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:Can it be used for the redoran hortator quest for rescuing miner arobar's son It doesn't work on Varvur Sarethi because that quest completion is scripted differently than Ahemmusa (and Zainab) Nerevarine, unfortunately. BBJoey posted:Looking at the 19:46 main quest speedrun on youtube, it looks like they do the corprus part of the main quest out of order by doing it after they start the Nerevarine/Hortator quests. How does that work? Those two quest chains don't affect each other in any significant way. So we can do either one when they're most convenient in the route, as long as each individual chain is done in order. Also what WhiskeyWhiskers said: luck is part of the buff-up spell.

Right, finished my base installation and nailed down the last bugs. Not sure how half my .ini file was overwritten by tes3cmd logs, but it sure was annoying. The game looks surprisingly nice with a new set of textures and distant land. Any recommendations for mods that add cool poo poo to explore?

Got me a new game of Morrowind up and running with the new MGEXE, latest MCP, the Neural AI texture mod, Tamriel Rebuilt, and then the new graphic herbalism. All in all a pretty basic game. Any hot new shits out there I should definitely look into? I haven't been following the latest MW mods in a while aside from the occasional mention in this thread. Is Skyrim Home of the Nords in a good and playable/explorable state?

I hadn't used this one before, I'll check it out tonight. Thanks! Edit: I have a confession to make: I still loot everything by disposing of corpses because I'm still afraid that if I play the same character for 400+ hours and leave all those bodies on the ground, my game will implode. This nugget of insanity has been instilled in me since 2002. Anyone else have any crazycool rituals they follow? Another thought Edit: Is there gooncensus on the best magicka regen mod? I'd like something that keeps it similar to Oblivion levels of regen (unless you use Atronach of course) that takes your skills into account. I think the one I used to use was called "fair magicka regen" but wanted to know what the wizards in this thread thought? chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 17:17 on May 29, 2019 |

I used to do that all the time but recently stopped because it respawns enemies if you come back in and the corpse is gone. I quit buying armor and weapons unless it's a specific thing I really want. There's no mechanical reason to not pick chitin asap right off arrile if you're light armor, and that same set will take you to glass. Boring. Take it off a guy you murderated. For years I used to do the same set of starter quests on new characters. The basic seda neen ones, but I quit that recently too. Always shut doors when you leave are you some kinda barbarian? I sorta wish there was a way to easily add or remove mods without jacking around with mo2 or merging folders or w/e. I'm half tempted to figure out a way to use git to manage the game as branches or some poo poo lol. MO2 is slow as gently caress, but I always have this feeling that i'm loving up the mods -- recently someone posted about the "Who's there? Goodbye" problem and I noticed dudes from TR were saying it but I don't know why.

Heres a good magicka regen mod https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45636 Two great vanilla friendly dungeon mods are mamaea awakened and lost kogoruhn (maybe that's the name?)

So yea...quickloot is loving amazing. I hadn’t kept up with any of the MWSE mods so I thought a lot of these were going to be super janky, but nope! It’s super quick and easy. I installed that along with UI Expansion and weapon sheathing and they work so seamlessly it seems to be part of the game. I’ll take a look at that magic regen, thanks! For the past 17 years of playing this game, my first hour routine has always been the same: Give ring to fargoth Take quest to find Fargoth’s stash While waiting for night, go loot tax collector corpse Finish fargoth stash quest Finish tax collector quest by killing dude Lower difficulty to zero and rest until an assassin shows up Kill/loot assassin Immediately go to guards, then ebonhheart and mournhold to disable assassin attacks Finally go to balmora to clear my quest log After doing this ritual I usually have 800-1K septims and can get some decent starter gear. I also shut doors behind me.

Collect Ring of the Mentor and pay my respects to the ashes of Lord Brinne It took a long time for me to stop compulsively closing doors and disposing of every corpse since I started out on the unpatched xbox version. My save was so bad that I had about a 50% chance of crashing when loading into Ebonheart

I recently thought how I never beat Morrowind because I got all the way to the Hortator of the houses part and they gave me a book to then go find the people and talk to them and I was done. So I loaded up the game learned how to apply the patches. The increased cell loading thing is pretty loving nice and gives you the view distance of a normal game. I played for awhile but then just said gently caress it lets use this alchemy I read people talk about. Got unlimited cash and used trainers to lvl to max level and then started playing the game. It was pretty ok and I finally learned that Bethesda hasn't learned anything from quest making in all these years. Traveling was ok with mark, recall, and super jump. Tribunal and the half of Bloodmoon that I have played have both better than the Morrowind story. I also can't believe how many guilds have you just kill the previous guildmaster to become guildmaster. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 08:45 on May 30, 2019 |

For badguys you do the same thing except you also rip off Fargoth and keep the ring. Reorder it some for speed / do the quest different if you feel like it Also if I don't feel like doing the main quest for a bit I leave the coded package and anything I wanna keep but can't use (like books) in the census office while I hit up the mainland or w/e. If I feel like doing the main quest then I make sure to loot all flowers worth like 5+ bucks cause that poo poo adds up when you're level 1, then I buy that turn undead from Peligiad's cleric, and whatever applicable spells. Then you gotta remember to kill the smugglers in the nix hound cave, but NOT the guy with the huge hammer unless you know you can take him. At that point you have drat near a full suit of light armor and some decent ok ish money. Eat all those fuckin heathers too, gently caress it. Even fighters want some alchemy so you can read what's on the goddamn label of the bottle. Or if you're a wanderlusty kinda guy instead of going that way swim up the Odai. I rarely get mentor's ring unless it's a serious mage. If you're a beast guy don't bother giving a poo poo about a helmet until you find someone to up your unarmored. Your feet are always naked so not dealing with helms (that you half can't use) slightly speeds it up imo.

This nugget of insanity has been instilled in me since 2002. I carefully take all a corpse's gear off them and set it on the ground, then hit the dispose button. I may not want to carry with me all their crap, but I don't want it to vanish. Since Morrowind NPCs are static, no one will bother my little piles of loot, and I can come back and pick them up whenever I like. It's relatively tidy.

If I loot a dungeon close to a town like the one south of Pelagiad, i'll take a couple trips and throw everything not bolted down on the floor in front of merchants. Then every time I pass by i'll sell until they spend all their gold and keep doing it until it's all gone or there's a reasonable amount to bring and sell to the next guy

Combined with an open-faced helm, you can have a fully armored cat or lizard nerevarine.

My mindset when playing Morrowind is always to walk slow and take in the sights and not cheat in anyway. I stick to that for the most part. I do that because when playing Oblivion and Skyrim, I just run and sprint everywhere and it makes the world feel smaller and less intimidating.

I just realized that Morrowind has tainted how I’ve played open world games for the last 15 years. Having little, cool items hidden in seemingly random places, like the Blade of Woe on a shelf or the ebony armor on the plantation, encourages exploration and sneaky swipes. But what it also trained me to do was to check every single house in every single village/town/city and try and grab anything not nailed down. I just get so burned out on any Elder Scrolls game, or even Witcher 3, because I just can’t stop myself: what if there’s a really cool weapon in one of these houses? I need to check every container!

Witcher 3 and New Vegas are the only open world RPGs that still have that level of detail and mystery in the world. Walk in any direction in any of these games, ignoring the quest markers and poo poo, and you'll find tons of cool details, easter eggs, and hidden items off the beaten path. Oblivion and Skyrim aren't terrible in that regard, but they are noticeably worse.

Quite a few are cookie cutter, but most of the Dwemer ruins and stuff like Blackreach and that long dark cave in Dawnguard are awesome as poo poo to me. I also love the huge expansive sewers/caverns/Dwemer ruins in Tribunal. Edit: A couple of mod requests: I'm looking for some good tree replacers that stick to the vanilla style and don't look super out of place. Also, what is the "go to" grass mod these days for both the main game and Tamriel Rebuilt? And do any of them keep the Ashlands empty of grass, because it's supposed to be dead. And lastly, are there any "must have" shaders separate of those in the new version of MGE XE? TIA! chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 17:21 on May 30, 2019 |

My new Morrowind philosophy is that I don't fast travel anywhere until I reach it on foot first. If it's an island town unreachable by land travel, I use abot's boats mod to travel there in real time, or swim. (If a crash interrupts the journey, the journey counts as complete.)
