I asked this before, but is there a mod that lets you use the alchemy table from Uvirith's Legacy without being a Telvanni, I wanna check out Hlaalu for once and it's with a sneaky assassin character who doesn't use a lot of magic, but I still want to abuse potions without having to prioritize strength to carry all the ingredients around.

There's about a billion sorters out there, but "alchemy storage helper" lets you carry all the ingredients you could ever want and is what I use. YMMV though, it is a bit cheaty feeling and can cause problems with a few food mods (on account of food being ingredients).

Cantorsdust posted:Crossposting from the Elder Scrolls discussion thread: If you absolutely need a Let's Play, I did a video one years ago which goes through the main quest. Some others (including a few posters here) went through parts of the other questlines. I think there's a few things I don't get 100% lore-wise, but it does cover some of the different narratives behind the Morrowind backstory. https://lparchive.org/Morrowind/ I do agree with the above posters that a main quest LP is not the most representative Morrowind experience. Heck, most of that is ignoring the main quest entirely and going off exploring on your own. Edit: Oh yeah I should probably warn you, that LP is extremely 2011. You'll see what I mean if you watch it. Musical_Daredevil fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Aug 20, 2019 |

It was fun because it's from the viewpoint of her character being clueless in Vvardenfell, but also a player clueless about Morrowind/RPGs in general.

I've picked this game up again for the first time in at least 7 years. I used to be pretty heavily into making mods back in 2007-2009ish and was involved in Tamriel Rebuilt. Mostly I made Daedric and Dwemer ruins, with my two best being Yashazmus near Port Telvannis and Nchazdrumn between Tel Mothrivra and Llothanis. Before I joined TR I also made a couple of quest mods, but I'm at work so I'll look them up and link them later. I've always told people I think Morrowind was the best Elder Scrolls game and that has only been reaffirmed over the past week. The depth of the storylines and the amount of content available blows away Oblivion and even Skyrim isn't on the same level. Obviously those games look a lot better (especially Skyrim) but even with a fairly limited selection of graphical mods Morrowind is still eminently playable in 2019 with the biggest problem being the combat system. I never really had the opportunity to play through Tamriel Rebuilt back when I was working on it as even the Telvanni Isles weren't properly populated with quests at that point. I've just finished playing through the Old Ebonheart thieves guild quest line and it's fantastic. TR may never be finished but what has been made achieves the goal of feeling like an expansion of the original game, not a mod.

Ah, the wonders of early oughties websites, when the content was spread over a dozen different free hosts because they all had a quota of like 50 mb. Oblivion journal: unsecured page warning Morrowind journal: domain name not found My avatar: 404 White mountains: Geocities etc.

One small thing that did a lot to make Morrowind feel more real was how, aside from guards and a few other exceptions, almost every character had an actual name even completely hostile criminals in a cave somewhere.

I guess maybe it's because people expect named characters to be plot important? But since they made everyone who's even vaguely notable immortal in Oblivion that seems like a poor reason.

I think part of it is that the difference in names of generic guys indicates level differences. Bandit Outlaw is lower level than Bandit Maurader, which is important information for whether or not certain spells work. Of course there are plenty of ways to get around that, you could have bracketed numbers or a color coding system.

I would watch a 100% completion LP of Morrowind, but I've not been able find one. There's one for Oblivion, but the player is slightly annoying and doesn't seem to be very good at the game (made worse by playing it at max difficulty). It's also, as of this post, unfinished.

You'd need to do multiple characters or something for a 100% Morrowind LP, there's a poo poo ton of mutually exclusive quests. Like, you can only join one of the houses, the different guilds don't have the friendliest relationships, etc.

Like, you can only join one of the houses, the different guilds don't have the friendliest relationships, etc. In vanilla Morrowind (without the unofficial patch), you can join two houses through a small glitch. Start with Redoran or Telvanni, kill Orvas Dren as part of the Thieves Guild questline, and then talk to Vedam Dren (IIRC) and you get promoted in House Hlaalu, which gives you membership in it.

Why would the path where you just kill him would be more of a 100% run than the one where you go see Percy Mercy in Ald'ruhn and then pretend your target fled?
