Ok good to know also I killed the dark brotherhood guy outside the first cave next to seyda neen and flipped his gear to the vendor who immediately wore it making it non buy backable and making him look like some kind of steampunk gimp. Also finding a locked trapped chest with nothing in it god this game.

Oh, speaking of smithing, is it necessary to invest in it to make light armor good for heavy combat? I'm currently working on a RP build for an Argonian monster hunter who's all about blitzing around with light armor and poisons and silver and poo poo. A Witcher I guess. I've done basically only heavy armor builds in the past when I wasn't doing Thives/Dark Brotherhood stuff so I don't know how well it holds up to getting into the thick of it without heavy smithing. Though given that Witchers take care of their own equipment I guess I should be learning how to smith anyway.

You'll never be able to "blitz around" in a bethesda game, unfortunately.

How do you keep up with the potion demands? I'm running a mod that gives me 1-6 ingredients randomly per pick and at level 34 I go through a ton of potions, even with stacked various resists. My Heavy Armor is at something like 93 and I still lose health so drat fast to dragons and some of the tougher enemies. In general the enemy balance is weird. I just killed a Bandit(regular named) that took four power attacks to the face and then I fought a chieftan who died in one hit, cut straight to finisher animation. I don't get it man!

I have thousands of excess ingredients stashed in my house. Basically every dungeon comes jam packed with good alchemy stuff but you gotta keep your eyes out at dinner tables, mushrooms in the corner of rooms, at the bottom of some baskets.

Drain health only applies damage once each time when you equip it, damage health is constant effect. You use drain effects to artificially lower your skills for infinite leveling with easy recovery and damage effects for NPC murders.  I remember this despite not touching Morrowind for almost 15 years, send help.

Xinder posted:I loving love morrowind really dont understand why bethesda got rid of the "oh cool armor *stab stab stab* my armor now" metagame of morrowind. That was such a mindblowing concept in 2002 and you can't really do that in the other games. I mean sort of in Skyrim, sure, but there aren't just like, bandit kings out there at any level with a full ebony set. I'm pretty sure there's a good way to get a full set of dwemer armor and a daedric longsword just outside vivec if you dont have an issue clapping mother fuckers.

I will be forever baffled by why they removed spellcrafting and nerfed enchantment in the later games, when it was probably the single most fun and cool feature in an rpg at the time (and probably since). Yea, why would I want to make myself into an insane floating magical murdegod, sounds boring as gently caress. Bethesda, please just give me some corridors to run through. You can't even say it's balance, because none of these games are balanced anyway, and honestly, does anyone care? Yes, you can break the game, but breaking the game can be the game, man

Dwesa posted:All singleplayer TES games could be broken in many different ways, but I think levitation was removed from later games because (at least officially) of how cities were separate cells unlike in Morrowind. Todd said in an interview levitation made it way too easy to break encounters and such. It was OP to always be able to go somewhere the AI could not reach.

It's not even like you could just press button and break it right away, to do the constant effect enchantments in Morrowind required a lot of prep and being able to kill one of the strongest mobs in the base game. You could steal the soul gems, but that also required prep. Getting to that point pretty much gave you an entire playthrough worth of game anyway.

I’d go as far to say that with Morrowind, breaking the game is the game. The it feels like game is designed with that in mind. Things like the boots of blinding speed/resist blind combo, or the fact that the mage falls from the sky with those acrobatics scrolls like 10 minutes into the game. grate deceiver posted:It's not even like you could just press button and break it right away, to do the constant effect enchantments in Morrowind required a lot of prep and being able to kill one of the strongest mobs in the base game.

I would do unspeakable things for a new take on this idea, where you're actually rewarded for exploiting the game's various systems and reach new heights of power. Something like that Amazing Cultivator Sim game, but as an open-world rpg in a fully realised interesting setting like TES.

My Heavy Armor is at something like 93 and I still lose health so drat fast to dragons and some of the tougher enemies. Buy out every vendor's entire stock of potions. Even the low level ones: 25 health still counts for a lot when you have 50 of them. Also don't be afraid to run like a coward while using the starting healing spell if you have to. Also maybe grab a companion. Any will do. You're not after their stats, you're after their body: an opponent attacking something that isn't you is effectively 100% Damage Reduction. Oh, and Skin spells. The basic starting Oakflesh is excellent and can be used with 0 investment into the Alteration tree. It should last the whole fight and you'll have your magic back to cast it again by the next. Also maybe upgrade your armor? Admittedly I don't spend that much time at high levels but 93 at level 34 sounds really low. I think my curias alone at that point is somewhere around 112 or higher in heavy builds.

The game let me sit and talk with him and exhaust all dialogue choices, then he goes “alright, you’ve convinced me. Let’s go!” He then pushed me to my death, the camera settles on my crumpled body for a half beat, until he slowly lowers to the ground and exits the room. The next time I made sure to get behind him before starting the conversation.

Dragons are only tough because they sometimes never land, or land on roofs and stuff

quote:Fix black screen bug with Alternate Music enabled in some dungeons Huh, the music was what was causing it? Weird. In other daggerfall news I finally got vampirism, but I also got plague at the same time and when I cured that I cured them both. Probably for the best, as I wanted to be a werewolf anyways. I wonder if I could have just mitigated the effects of plague by hanging around in town casting heal/using fortify attribute stuff until I "died" of vampirism though.
