Man I could not tell you how long an average Morrowind character takes to "play through" lol, my perception of time in this game is completely distorted by memory, time spent modding etc

If you really want to spend a lot of time do this: Make a warrior that completes the fighters guild. Do it as low a level as you reasonably can, below level 20. Do the same thing as a Mage and a Thief. Then, mod all three into the games as followers; make a forth character, a cowardly merchant. THAT character is the Nerevarine but they're also a coward and worthless in a fight, so they have to bring the first three with them on the quest. Don't load if they die, see if you can finish the game before they're all dead.

I find it a little sad that EVERY NPC member of the mages guild wears robes and no armour, if though some of them are classes that tag at least one armour class. Meanwhile my spellblade stands out like an idiot, with pauldrons popping through his clothing and an incongruous helmet

Why would you put on armor to stand around in a building all day? Sounds uncomfortable.

Iirc it's an insanely rad turban/ robe/ halberd/ couple other cool redguard things like other armors That robe is fuckin sick I love it more than the cult robe. Really literally possibly one of the best robes ever added to the game 10/10 would robe again

I wonder how feasible it would be to make a "glamour system" style mod. Note however that I would have no respect for anyone using it, because game fashion has to be earned through creating a cool outfit that provides both necessary function and the desired form, and in doing so you end up creating looks that you would never have planned.

You gotta sleep in armour as the Nerevarine because you have dark brotherhood assholes busting down your door to kill you every night as soon as you get to Balmora.

Good to see that series of mods is still getting updated. I always wanted to do a playthrough with them, but could never decide if I wanted to go for a full medieval capped run, or just go completely crazy and have dunmer wizards with spaceships and drop pods.

hey gamers, been playing a bit of morrowind for the first time through openmw and had a question about installing item mods i've been slowly rolling in mods over time, following guides like https://modding-openmw.com/ i'm trying to install a weapon mod right now. in my openmw.cfg i put in a "data=[file path]" to the esp, and then "content=[esp]" at the bottom. in game, i'm able to locate, pick up, and use the modded weapons -- but none of them have icons. do i need to do something specific with the icons folder from the mod? i tried creating another "data=[file path]" to it but nothing seemed to change

No ini stuff if I'm understanding this right, this should be how I currently have it set up. inside the folder for the mod, I have the .esp, as well as folders for Icons, Meshes, and Textures.

If I'm understanding your post right, you extracted the mod into Data Files like "\Morrowind\Data Files\ModName\x.esp, textures, meshes, icons"? Because it should all be extracted into the Data Files folder itself, not into a separate mod folder located within. "\Morrowind\Data Files\x.esp, textures, meshes, icons".

Proletarian Mango posted:If I'm understanding your post right, you extracted the mod into Data Files like "\Morrowind\Data Files\ModName\x.esp, textures, meshes, icons"? this is incorrect and bad advice for openmw, it would be important if using the original morrowind. e: the other thing that comes to mind is checking you rebuilt your delta patch after adding in this new mod, since something could be loving up the icons there.

https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/modding/mod-install.html#install Huh, I figured the Morrowind recreation would've handled installing mods the same way as Morrowind. Or at least offered this info within OpenMW itself instead of burying it in a wiki that, as far as I can see, isn't even linked within the program. Now that I'm really looking there's not even a "Help" or "About" menu anywhere.

sorry if I was being a bit unclear -- yeah I'm using OpenMW and loving around in TES3MP, of which I heard mod managers aren't great for, so I've been artisanally handcrafting my mod list in the openmw.cfg file. I've got a folder structure full of mods, but none of them are going directly in any install folders or anything. not a lot of things installed at the moment, but I install things slowly one at a time to make sure nothing has broken and it's been working out pretty well for me so far.Arivia posted:@kaubocks: what mod? is it explicitly listed as openmw compatible? openmw does some different stuff with ui icons that might be causing trouble. or do you mean inventory icons? i still have my openmw install, so i can easily try out whatever you're doing. it's a bit of an ancient mod. just going through some old silly stuff for funsies. it doesn't say anything about OpenMW compatibility, but with how simple (and old) the mod seemed to be it didn't really surprise me. I do believe it's the first time I've installed anything with icons, though, and I'm pretty new to Morrowind in general. and yeah, Inventory icons. when I go into the shop or open my inventory after buying one of the weapons, the weapons don't have icons. the ones with enchanted effects will still have that blue spiral element, but that's all. can still equip and use them, just looks kinda bad and it's easy to miss in the clutter of my inventory. it's not a huge deal, was just wondering out loud if it's something I had messed up on my end, or if OpenMW is weird about icons, or what
