Any time you open a cell or double click a record it flags the item as being modified regardless of whether you changed anything. The data contained from that varies from item to item but results in "identical to master" or ITM records, ie, you have the base records from morrowind.esm now in your file. The winning record goes off of load order so if a mod changes an iron sword to weigh 50 but someone has a dirty esp with that record (and loads second) the change is reverted to base morrowind.esm.

These are the ones that the khajit trader sells in Balmora, right? I actually love that guy and his scheme; maybe I'll set it to a value of 300, considerably overpriced but not so high that items are basically a joke you'll never, ever buy. FWIW I actually think the idea of a cheap iron weapon enchanted with a bond spell is quite useful, especially at lower levels.

Bound weapons are the same power as daedric why would you make them cheap If anything the bound spells need to be nerfed or the weapons and spells made more expensive Bound battleaxe is the second most damaging weapon in the game behind sunder

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:Yes but dont fall for the trap of trying to recursively balance everything lest you end up as morrowind rebirth I definitely don't want to do it all under one mod, and I don't want to start one until another is finished. I'm also concerned that, if the duration was drastically decreased, it would make AI repeatedly summon now very short (and now very costly) bound weapons while they're still very far away, like Snow Granius and his bound spear. If I follow the plan said I'd start with, which was to judge the generic magic item based on the strength of their enchantments as I saw them (not, for example, based on how much it cost to enchant them), then you're right that bound weapons should cost a lot.

Gyshall posted:What's the go to mod list for vanilla+ max grade in 2021 https://github.com/Sigourn/morrowind-improved This guide is pretty good. I will note however that it recommends downloading and using a shader called "SpecialProcess" in leu of the default shaders that come with MGEXE and tbh I don't think it looks very good and it's performance heavy so you may want to pass on that one and use the regular bloom, ssao, and godray (if thats your thing) shaders. They got comparison images so you can judge for yourself, this is just my preference. e: comparison of "SpecialProcess" vs no shaders. https://imgsli.com/NDg3MDk https://imgsli.com/NDg3MTA ee: here's the default "bloom soft" shader and ssao shader i'm using:   my lighting coefficients are: quadratic: 1.7 linear: 0.9 0.060 i spent way too much time fine tuning those lol Proletarian Mango fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Apr 22, 2021 |

This time playing through I realized how much better mages are at being thieves. Who needs to jump high when you can just fly? Who needs stealth when you can just cast telekinesis and steal poo poo right from under their noses? Who needs lockpicks when you can just unlock a door? My acrobatics is still my highest skill because I've never broken my habit of just jumping everywhere though Something that does seem broken to me though is how it's clear that they expect you to use fatigue restoring items to help with fatigue but unless your alchemy is decent you wont' get any effect from eating 10 pieces of bread unless you're lucky. So alchemy is basically a mandatory skill in the game vanilla

You can buy potions / get them for free from Fighter's Guild chests / enchant restore fatigue effects on equipment. I rarely play with alchemy.

Sometimes I play Morrowind. But mostly, I just enjoy staring at the morrowind skills and writing up different classes. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Skills and then i'll meander around the uesp reading obscure places in morrowind and minor, weird quests.

I just went with their standard Barbarian class it gave me from the personality test. Seemed reasonable. Didn't mess around with Alchemy or Enchanting. Used only a handful of utility spells that my idiot character could handle. I still loved every minute of it. I'd carry a collection of magic items I found in my travels for things like water walk or levitation, as well as a variety of combat buffs. I'd deliberately hunt for high value contraband just so I could sell it to keep potions and scrolls flowing. It was actually a nice change, because I don't bother with consumables or mercantile efforts in other games, because it's generally not worth the hassle.

I'm doing a kinda paladin run, heavy armor, sword, block and restoration skills but that and water breathing and water walking are the stumbling blocks. First time going house Redoran, I'm being prepared to be underwhelmed.

People who have used Beware the Sixth House: Is this mod supposed to make Dagoth Ur summon a huge number of Daedra? Like twenty or thirty total Daedra. The mod description makes no mention of it, but I don't think I have another mod that could be doing it. I beat the fight, but it was buggy and I to reload several times at the Heart because the number of summons was causing freezes. Edit: Specifically a bunch of Flame and Storm Atronachs Edit 2: The description does mention it, it looks like it's Dagoth Endus' power, which Dagoth Ur also has. "Wrath of Endus - Summon Flame Atronach for 90s on Self, Summon Storm Atronach for 90s on Self, Disintegrate Armor 10-20 pts for 3s on Target, Disintegrate Weapon 20-30 pts for 3s on Target." I'm guessing the fact that it summons about ten of each simultaneously is a bug. FactsAreUseless fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Apr 23, 2021 |

I did house Redoran on my first full playthrough since I was a Orc Barbarian and they seemed the most fitting. I don't really remember anything about it other than going to see Neminda a bunch and that one mission protecting the manor from assassins. I think the stronghold quest bugged out but I don't quite remember. At least I don't remember having it since I eventually made my home in a barrow in Solstheim. .

I'm a straightforward player without any deep knowledge of game breaking strategies; my only two completed playthroughs were unmodded and involved questionnaire classes, both melee focused. I made what feels like a powerful character for this rebalance play through, a Breton born under the sign of the Mage with Long Blade, Block, Heavy Armor, and most schools of magic. It's going well so far, I'm level 5, have done the first two Blades quests, and just bought an "Icicle" frost sword using my rebalance prices. I did end up changing Bound duration to 5 for weapons and 20 for armor and shields. My normal combat strategy is to shield and heal myself through difficult fights, and I carry Fighters Guild potions and have a summon skeleton spell and Dragonskin if I think it's going to be particularly tough. Also, I'm filling the Mages guild armoire with high end potions and scrolls in anticipation of the end game. I'll be heading off to the Mainland and Solstheim for the first time ever this weekend, since the Rebalance suggests you can start them at 5 and Cauis just said I should take a break before the next mission.

Other way around, the Camonna Tong being anti-Imperial is the front. They have extremely strong business ties to the Empire and hide them through the intermediary of House Hlaalu.
