I often take Spear as my first skill because you can run backwards keeping them at bay, and it also boosts endurance giving you more hp faster

Spear and Acrobatics have been lost to us in later games, but I'm pretty sure we can still crush skulls as an Orc, so there's that. I immediately made a new character, a Nord Warrior, with the mini-goal of immediately traveling to, and never leaving, Dagon Fel / Sheogorad region. I want to see what kind of character I can make, and what kind of experience I can have, if I only restrict myself to this isolated backwater. After spending a couple hours putting around the region my first impression is that there is no goddamned smith in Dagon Fel.

Yeah, for how much I play the game I haven't pursued the main quest to completion in years and years. I was absolutely unprepared for what Dagoth Ur's Lieutenants looked like, so encountering the first one in Kogoruhn was a moment of real surprise and fear.

The readme lists all 200+ npcs, what it changes about them, and why I did it. In rough overview it hits nearly every Npc in the daedric shrines, most final fights in each faction, and a bunch more. In a lot of cases it's less making them just harder and more giving them unique and weird spells or enchanted items to make fighting them less monotonous. For example, Molag Bal cultists use combined paralysis+dot spells or paralyze+short duration summons; Mehrunes Dagon cultists use rainbow damage; Malacath orcs have damage attribute curses, etc.

Still puttering around in Dagon Fell during the Holiday break. Trip report number 2: Not only is there no smith in Dagon Fel, the smithing hammers sold by the only two merchants on the island do not restock. I'm playing a warrior with no non-weapon attacks  I'm going to place these precious few hammers into my cave hideout and save them for my best weapons and armor; I'll do my best to just use and discard lesser weapons on lesser enemies. At least I've decided on a goal for this mini - playthrough: earn enough coin from the island's ruins and caves to lift the villagers out of poverty, AKA bribe them all to 100 disposition. I genuinely don't know if I can do it with this PC.

Morrowind is just one of those games where it feels like it was designed to be played by a certain kind of class and all the other options were afterthoughts. There’s just too much non optional stuff that requires some degree of magic ability and such an abundance of obstacles that need magic to overcome, to not play at least a part mage. Sure you can succeed going full fight man or full sneak man, but it feels very clumsy and inefficient (and not inefficient in the “I’m compelled to create the optimal stat alignment!” nerd way either). Skyrim is similar in that it really feels like you’re supposed to be playing a warrior. Where even though stealth archer is miles away better, it feels like it is because they didn’t build the game around you using it.

I went full fight man (barbarian class) in my first playthrough and it went great. I’d need to keep a stock of potions and magical items on me to deal with various situations, but I had more carry weight than god so it didn’t matter. It never felt like I was playing wrong or anything, but felt more like an adventurer keeping a variety of useful magic items that did more than simple stat bonuses.

Oh I wasn’t saying they didn’t make sure Conan types could do everything, but you always have to go through this extra layer of rigamarole to do it. It’s even worse with stealth characters (like my first “real” character) since literally every thing they specialize in is an inferior version of a magic skill. Warriors at least got inherent stats for buffness (like, as you said, carry weight) that a mage theoretically doesn’t have.

Yeah, my last character had enough Alteration to cast a minor levitation spell on command, but for all of the second half of my playthrough I would just use one of the two or three levitation enchanted items I possessed. TBH, that's kind of how ALL magic worked for me; anything important would end up on an item because I could spam it, while my considerable magical skills basically got regulated to unlocking, marking, recalling, and interventioning. Whereas things I might actually do a lot, like healing, levitating, shielding, and destruction spells all came down to items or very nasty problem solving scrolls. When Magicka doesn't regen but item charge does, it completely flips how I use spells and enchantments.

I would always fit 0 points of slowfall on one of my constant effect items with leftover charge points since it makes you immune to fall damage without actually having to be inconvenienced by slowfall. It’s wonderfully fun and convenient to just plummet from the top of Vivec to the ground floor with no care.

What I've always done is create a 1mp 1 power 11 second levitate spell. This lets you fly at about running speed, and you can just spam the spell to reach any height.

Lawman 0 posted:How did you do that lol? The “buff max health” effect rounds percentages so that when it wears off your buffed “current health out of max” is changed to a theoretically equivalent lower “current health out of max”. But because Bethesda didn’t set a 1 hp minimum value, losing a lot of health in your buffed state can cause it to round down to a value lower than 1 hp (aka 0 hp) when you go back to normal and thus die. This problem gets turbo charged when you combine the “buff max health” effect with buffs that increase attributes that effect max health like endurance, since your new health now isn’t even equivalent with all the changed attributes and you’ll actually lose chunks of health when it wears off. You don’t even have to create your own potions/spells to do this. This is in no way limited to people who break the game with exploits. Especially at lower levels standard store bought potions and spells will kill you this way. I myself killed myself multiple times with such effects. It’s so bad that buffing your health is legit more dangerous than the enemies.

Pretty sure the code patch has an option specifically to make sure you can't die from losing fortify health. Might want to give (re-)installing that a try.

I decided to install Morrowind++ from the OP since I didn't want to think too hard about mods for a first time playthrough and I'm starting to question that decision because it's dark as poo poo at night and I want something closer to vanilla. I just wanted nice visuals and a few QoL things, not pitch darkness.
