I know about the Thieves Guild conflict, but I thought if I were to do the Thieves Guild, I'd do it with another character. I appreciate all the feedback, and I'll probably be back with some more questions before long. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Nov 2, 2019 |

Is there a way to change my character's magicka multiplier via the console? A mod changed it without me realizing it, and I want to uninstall the mod (for other reasons) and change it back.

Sky Shadowing posted:They're my favorite Great House too, and I haven't yet found a way to describe how the group of people who are perfectly okay with murdering your rivals aren't completely outright evil. None of the Great Houses are really all that clean. Morrowind has a lot of grey and dark grey morality going on. The Telvanni are the most evil of them sure but they're vastly more interesting for basically all the reasons already mentioned. It's like hey corrupt, shady rich dudes, mostly decent honor warriors, or ancient insane wizards that live in mushrooms.

In my game the water sound effect (like when near the coast) is either really loud or not present at all. Anyone have any idea what causes this or how I can fix it?

Yeah, in my mind I'm pretty sure that Hlaalu are the scummiest of all the Great Houses (excepting Dres since they're literally an entire House built on slavery, or at least, that's their main gimmick). Redoran are generally the most good, but their leader is a racist rear end in a top hat who is so focused on external strength and is popular for leading the House through a time of crisis, so that even the good-hearted councilors like one Athyn Sarethi merely bite their tongue and wait until the insults and vile behavior become too much to bear (see: kidnapping a son). However, despite being among the most "tradition" of the Great Houses, they're also the only one I literally can't think of any slavery in Morrowind, at all. Telvanni are ambition incarnate, but even though they're the most slave friendly House, that comes less out of racism and more out of A) not liking being told what to do and B) the general disinterest of the Masters so long as they're guaranteed income to perform experiments. But unlike certain other organizations in media where murder is a path to advancement (see: the Sith), it isn't a required method, and most of the time a mage of particular talent can find a patron who will help them rise as high as their talent allows and their ambition desires. Excepting Hlaalu they're the Great House with the most outlanders in their ranks, and as evidenced in ESO, with the right connection even a former slave can rise to a position of authority. In addition, where there are certainly patrons who will prevent their students from surpassing them, there are also a good many who will happily help their students surpass them. That said even the most progressive and altruistic of Telvanni mage-lords are prone to odd behavior like keeping a captured Imperial soldier as an exhibit or cloning themself four times as an opposite-sex entity. But Hlaalu try and play both sides. They are the Empire's best friends in Morrowind, and proudly proclaim themselves as such. But take one look at the great plantations of the Ascadian Isles, at the Caldera Ebony Mines, and you realize that they're hypocrites. When Tiber Septim came knocking, they glued themselves to his rear end and let him drag them to pre-eminence in Morrowind by proclaiming themselves The Great Future Of The Dunmer, while at the same time keeping the covers on the massive slave-driven industries that fuel the wealth of their ascension, and even as the Empire proclaims "hey dudes this slavery thing is pretty hosed up" the Hlaalu for 400+ years have kept the institution alive and well until finally in the chaos of the fall of the Tribunal and the rise of Helseth they see a profit opportunity to make their actions match their words and throw in. And if you can't tell by my avatar this venom against them is being spewed by an Empire loyalist. Then the Empire collapses around them and discover the consequences of having sold out their homeland for power and are promptly kicked to the curb by the angry mob of the other Great Houses that has assembled outside their gates.

What soundcard are you using? Try updating the drivers. Google your soundcard name and morrowind and see if anything comes up. The card I have makes foot steps way loud and then certain other sound effects basically blast my ear drums randomly. I had to either change some setting in the default drivers or download a third party set. kazr fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Nov 4, 2019 |

Hlaalu are, on paper, the least xenophobic house but massively corrupt on all levels and are basically a front for the Camonna Tong, Vvardenfell's massively racist drug syndicate that thinks the only outlanders allowed in Morrowind at all should be the slaves. Telvanni are at least very openly and proudly lovely which has to count for something Redoran are just chill dudes that wanna fight monsters and break poo poo.

Every time I do the MQ, even though I know there's a peaceful way to convinced him to support me, Orvas Dren dies. I would do the same in Hlaalu playthroughs, if I ever did any. Likewise in Oblivion once Countess Alessia Caro of Leyawiin has served her purpose in the two quests that require her, I don the Gray Cowl and kill her. loving torture Argonians in MY home province.

The Telvanni are just wannabe Daedera and given their wild magic powers and nigh immortality they've got a better claim on it than most. You can say they should be more sympathetic given that they aren't divine beings, but amoral superbeings are a well established and daily fact of life in Tamriel so it's not like they're breaking new ground. Also, it's not like they're opposed to slavery either. Vvardenfel isn't big on Morality to begin with.

None of the Great Houses is monolithic. Okay so all Telvanni are eccentric wizards, but the fact they're all eccentric means they all have their own interests, they're only a House in a very loose sense. House Hlaalu's defining feature is ambition. But ambition takes more than one form. Just take a look at the Dren family:
If you're in House Hlaalu and end up killing Orvas Dren, then talking to Vedam will earn you a promotion. It doesn't seem like the two brothers had much fraternal love for each others. As for the Redoran, their focus on being the stalwart protectors of Morrowind means that they're both noble, brave, steadfast, etc. and also very reactionary and oppressive.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:Telvanni's theme is that they're all power mad backwards libertarians who want each other dead and can't stop arguing and most of them are extremely racist, which appealed greatly to a lot of people online in 2003 for some odd reason. More charitably, they are by far the most *interesting* house, aesthetically and lore-wise. Also they're the wizard house and every Morrowind character either starts as a wizard or becomes one at some point. If I ever get around to making an update “patch” for Rise of House Telvanni, I’m going to add so many options to improve the great house without being ridiculously mwahaha evil, because looking back on the original mod it was kinda juvenile bullshit

RoHT does a number of pretty cool things, but tonally it's just such a shift from what I was doing in the rest of my playthrough. (Still upset I couldn't unify House Telvanni and the Vvardenfell Mages Guild by decree.)

FreudianSlippers posted:I mean there's a pretty significant difference between anti-colonial national liberation and xenophobic racial supremacy built on slavery. I agree? Also the Camonna tong are very much about isolationism. They dont really want you dead as much as they want you on a ship back to cyrodiil. Slavery and racism is not specific to any one morrowind faction. Isolationism is. Also I meant to say 'vvardenfell branch' not mainland. The Camonna tong are very vvardenfell centered. The rest of the hlaalu bootlick the empire while simultaneously wishing they would leave so they could monopolize. They're just every businessman ever as a faction mbt fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Nov 5, 2019 |
