Speaking of magic, I know it'll never happen, but I dream of a better, more lore-like magic system in TES. I'd love to see high-level Alteration be able to change the weather, like summoning storms from which you could call down lightning and gusts of wind on your enemies. High level illusion giving more tools for manipulating enemies, twisting their perception of reality to their disadvantage. Unique micro-factions with special types of spells that can be joined, i.e. witches, necromancers, etc. Enemies using this stuff would be cool, too. A high level mage being more than just "level 1 mage, but more damage". I feel like there's so much room left unexplored for magic to feel really special while still remaining fun to use.

My concern with representing all of Tamriel in Morrowind is the location coordinate precision issue. MBT described it simply a while ago: Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:there's two issues for other province mods (that aren't TR) I guess in 20 years the solution will be to use OpenMW 3 with its 128-bit values for coordinates.

Thats my dream game right there. Travel around to all the weird sects and learn the same school of magic and all their tricks. I'd like to combo something like telekinesis and detect key and have a mini stealth game wrangling it off the guards keychain and under the door unnoticed. Go hang out and learn hist mysticism and then go see what weird poo poo the tribunal temple learned from vivec. Unfortunately I think it's going to be the kind of thing that will only work for tabletop.

Man, Tribunal is the worst, the town broken up into cells that feel absolutely isolated, goofy scripted events, absurdly overpowered beings. Like, the high luck bosmer isn't fun. I just did the lich releasing a plague quest for the first time, and while I do appreciate that it's all kicked off by you just adventuring around and unlocking some ancient tomb, it's weird you don't see signs of anything happen unless you deliver some potions for the temple's healer. I did enjoy that I got a robe that will kill me twice over though. Bloodmoon has its issues as well, but at least Solstheim is a place.

The high luck Bosmer isn't bad, there are multiple options for dealing with him. There's an enemy somewhere in Tribunal that gains 100hp for every player level. Let me tell you, that one is the real slog. Aside from that though, I don't quite agree. While Tribunal isn't necessarily up to base game standards in every way, I actually really like some parts of it. I think the layout of the city is fun once you're used to it, and some of the quests do things that the base game didn't. It's too small but it does feel like a unique place. I don't particularly like Bloodmoon because to me it feels like the bad parts of Oblivion - health sponge enemies that scale in ways that make leveling pointless, significant chunks of the map that lack that natural feel of Vvardenfell's wastes, some overly-simple quests - but it does also have its bright spots.

I remember Tribunal having a lot of atmospheric dungeons. Most of the monsters were heavily overtuned, but I liked it as someone who just enjoyed wandering dwemer ruins and the like. I also remember playing through with one of the early scripted combat mods that let you cut peoples arms and legs off, so I left most of the dungeons littered in appendages. This may have effected my appreciation of it.

I honestly really enjoyed Bloodmoon (with the rebalance mod) as a change of scenery. It felt like a silly weekend adventure after completing the base game's main quest. It would have been nice if there were more interactions with the mainland, though (e.g., East Empire Company shenanigans).

Farecoal posted:Are there mods listed in the OP that have been replaced by a notably superior version? Just from a quick skim a few that come to mind is speed and stamina tweaked instead of the old regular speed and stamina and Morts leveling mod is the go-to now especially since you can easily tweak it to your liking. edit: it's hard for me to say that it's "notably" better because it's kind of a subtle effect anyway but purist friendly magicka regen is a newer alternative to the old fair magicka regen. I didn't have any complaints when I used it anyway. Gobblecoque fucked around with this message at 04:06 on May 16, 2021 |

Started playing through the game in coop with my buddies. It's been a blast. Highlight so far has been getting locked out of Aldruhn because one of my buddies swore an oath to zenithar to transport some shirts but then sold them for a quick buck. So then we had to circle his footsteps between Gnisis and Aldruhn multiple times to try and find where he sold them. It's fun because it's half people who have never played before and half veterans of the game. I think I definitely need to make the game a bit harder. Going to check out MDMD and Mort's rebalances. Any other suggestions? We have 3-7 of us going around at any time. I'm also looking into some big dungeon mods for us all to go through.

Sixth house and mdmd will be great though I would say maybe look up some server scripts for tes3mp, there are some that double spawns and increase health dynamically to balance around deathballs of players

I followed the morrowind++ guide and added a few content mods on top - it seems to be working beautifully apart from occasionally (mostly when first speaking to an NPC) their greeting is as follows: ... ... I assume this is a bug rather than someone trying to make morrowind NPCs even more terse. Is there a way to find out what's causing this? I'm following the process that the guide recommends (do the merged patches with tes3cmd and tes3merge, regenerate distant land etc) and this seems to be the only issue.

Doc Fission posted:Hi everyone, I've never played Morrowind and would like to start. Is the OP mod rec list still good? Not really, no. Given this is your first time playing Morrowind, just follow Part 1 of the Morrowind Improved guide to get set up with a stable base game. That page will walk you through installing community patches, mod organizer, MGEXE, and high-res textures. Then after that I would install MULE because the original leveling system is pretty whack at this point and MULE is a good upgrade. After that just play the game and figure out what you don't like and want changed from there. e: OP isn't bad, it's just kinda bloated and it has a number of outdated mods that have been superseded by newer, better implementations.
