i went into skyrim with rock-bottom expectations after oblivion was such a piece of poo poo and that honestly probably made me enjoy skyrim more than i maybe should have. that said, one single playthrough of skyrim was enough for me. i have tried revisiting it a few times and just cannot at all get back into it.

oh my god what the hell why would you do this just mod the leveling to be sane. Like he says more than once don't even do it.

man I guess some people really do like the number crunching the best, but this seems utterly antifun and is basically oblivion style leveling technique super cranked up

holy gently caress is that arm in gnisis an actual piece of the ruddy man?

and idk I've never used noglows. So it prevents the plastic, but I'm having a hard time looking and seeing what it feels like to use. Seems like there is a visual indication that things are enchanted but based off the 1 screenshot I don't really get what it'd be like.

yes it is

also theres nothing, thats the point. in his test of 50 enchanted items he gained 40 fps over traditional noglows (and even more over vanilla)

Morrowind Rebirth is an ambitious mod that ruins itself at every turn. That said, download the mod, extract the new music, and dump it into your existing MW folder. The music for that mod is really well done and slots in perfectly to Soule’s arrangements.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
Could you combine them somehow? I've been thinking about making compatibility patches for my favorite mods, next time I dive deep into Morrowind, and it'd be a change of pace to make a compatibility patch for the worst mods.

You're talking about combining one mod that changes almost everything with a mod compilation that also changes almost everything, you'd basically just have to look at a billion bad ideas and decide which bad ideas are better.

It'd require so much less thought than making a compatibility patch for Ashlander Julan and Great House Dagoth.

I could just toss a coin.

If you do it I'll play it, assuming installation isn't so complicated I get bored with the joke before I can run the game.

Utility app idea: mod merge randomizer. Grab a bunch of conflicting mods, run it, and get a merge patch where all conflicts are solved by randomly picking one mod to prioritize.

I expect it'd just be unplayable because of changes being dependent on each other and the merge not guaranteeing the presence of those dependencies, but I dunno, I haven't done any Morrowind mod development.

is it possible to have a throwing weapon or arrow that doesn't get used up when you fire? I mean you could slot in something at max stack capacity and zero weight or something but then you'd be able to go and sell ten billion mod arrows. What would happen if someone did something weird like put in a stack of darts that was size -1? Or could you make it have something like when used put one in inventory as equipped?

Is this why azura's star was a soul gem and not a throwing star?

Some mod I was using had a quiver of plenty that would keep a stack of 100 arrows in your inventory at all times, I never tried selling them though, so I'm not sure how that would have affected it.

ya ive got an unreleased mod that adds a bow that generates its own arrows and a gauntlet that generates its own throwing darts (both based on magicka)

the vanilla game doesn't like it when you force remove equipped items but MCP fixes it and openmw doesn't care

Yeah I mean my suggestion was kind of in jest, but it's also something I'd legit like and play around with. I love randomizers generally. Someone posted a long to this list of various town extension and alteration mods, something that would randomly pick one mod per town would be rad.

weird. I mean I dunno about poo poo but it already does something like this when bound items evaporate?

If the path from the docks went thru the fort it would be a good excuse to slot in a census & excise office. :cop: Which would probably spool out into way too much work.
I feel like C&E is generally really underused in the game and only has a handful of faction members. Like finding out security skill is also used maybe 1 time (that I never actually encountered) to forge documents or something.

No idea how big the minimum scope would be for this idea, but javelins. There's one mod from 2009 on Nexus that comes up in a search, I bet it would be possible to make cooler ones today. Like making enchanted ones that can be re-used, or making it compatible with the Pincushion mod.

morrowind bad mod randomizer, pulling in changes for each part of gameplay and the world from an assortment of bad mods and spitting out a single installer

edit: i literally didn't see the post suggesting this very thing!

i agree tho it would be ridiculous and i bet you could slice mods apart to slot together without conflicts if the randomizer only pulled from a restricted list instead of a user-defined one

a mod that swaps random textures each time you load the game, by renaming them or w/e. It also slowly randomizes damage and spell effects. And sound effects. Blessings of Sheogorath. I think this has maybe already been done tho.

Edit: I get terrain, object, and NPC shadows in either, I just mean my own shadow.
