Fair enough, I tend to come back to it every several years, so I don't mind the repetition, its still more nostalgia than anything.

It all boils down to whether you want to do without those mods. Once OpenMW supports them there's no contest, but for now I'd stick with MWSE. If it is your first time playing I figure just go with OpenMW but if it's not, try some of the new mods, they're awesome.

Today in Morrowind i woke up early and did some fishing. Caught two big fish, set up my cooking zone outside my shack and grilled the fish and made some tea. Played on a lute while I waited for food to cook. After that, I went inside and did some alchemy, which now takes 15 minutes in game per potion, so after that it was dinner time. Had some leftovers and wine while watching the sunset, then went back inside and made my first attempt at enchanting an item (now takes 5 in game hours to complete) and then passed out very tired in my hammock. All I want is a cute and fun dollhouse I can also do adventures in and that's apparently a genre no one wants to make games in but obsessed Morrowind modders lol rip

I’ve found OpenMW is worthwhile just from the point of view of it just never crashing on me and save games being rock solid. I miss a handful of fancy MWSE mods but there’s not been anything I’ve felt was more worthwhile than having a version of Morrowind that’s not crashed on me once this play through.

Do people really get crashes that often? I'll crash like once or twice a day at the absolute most, and it's almost always my computer running out of memory.

I've had this experience in both modded Morrowind and the Wildlander Skyrim overhaul; it's explicitly the sort of play experiences the Wildlander author wants to create. It's also due for a major new release (which will require a fresh install), so maybe keep an eye out for that release and try it then.

Is the skill gain multiplier a lot bigger on mods that make alchemy and enchanting take 15 minutes/5 hours or something?

I lost my drive with all my fancy mod setups about a year ago and recently got the urge to play again. OpenMW+TR+a few QOL mods is so quick to setup, no issues, no crashing, game is still great. I think it's a combination of there being so many mods that you can change the gameplay to whatever you want, and that vanilla MW does things that no other game really does. I love the hell out of the vanilla fast travel systems. I love how you could play the whole game without even knowing that one of the fast travel systems exists (propylons). I love all the weird rear end lore. I love the huge range of skills and how there's overlap. If I don't want to learn Levitation for some reason, I can get it from alchemy or I can buy potions, or I can enchant/buy/find an item that lets my fly. Hell, I love that Levitation is something you can just do whenever you want (except the one expansion). I love how most towns have unique architecture and/or geography (Hla Oad and Gnaar Mok are the same but they're also the two shittiest towns so...). Playing it with a ton of mods is great, playing it with very few mods, also great! Playing with no mods is insanity. I would love to see a game that's a spiritual successor to Morrowind. Take all the money you'd nowadays spend on voice acting and cutting edge graphics and balance testing and put it into moddability and drugs for the writers and artists. Would probably be my favourite game.

Yeah, quickloot is by far the main reason I won't use openmw until it's got the same mod support. I would probably still not use it if quickloot didn't exist, but it wouldn't be quite as easy a decision.

There are quite a few Magicka Regen mods, is there a thread favorite. I played a few hours yesterday and realized it's one of the few gameplay mods I want. But so few specify how they work, if they're based on a flat rate or a percentage, take any attributes into account and so on. I think I would like one that is percentage based but also quite slow, unless you've built a very magic focused character. There's one MWSE, is that one very configurable?

Okay, is there a stupid guide for babies on how to set up mods in OpenMW? I was following a Steam guide but it seems to kinda.... gloss over anything past "choose a folder, put mods in there" - just unzip them from there? Do I need an order for unzipping in case stuff overwrites each other? And for the stuff that creates double-digit starting folders, how do I handle those - leave them alone? EDIT: I think I get it now, just make separate folders for everything and direct the .cfg file to them?

I reinstalled Glow in the dahrk through MO because i thought it was out of date along with Magicka Regen and Better Fonts and that caused my PC to hard lock the first time I attempted to play and now I get warnings that my master esm have been changed for all my save games. I also get two pop-up windows for vegetation containers, one showing the number of ingredients and one showing the alchemy attributes of said ingredients. I think I only got one before? Morrowind modding is weird, man.

What's the best NPC schedule mod these days? Combining Grumpy's NPC Schedule with LDones' Nighttime Door Locks? I'm mostly interested in something to give the night/day cycles more meaning, with shops closing at night and wandering NPCs going back to their homes.

I've been using Morrowind NPCs Go Home for a minute now without any issues. There's a good number of options to tweak, though I've been using the default settings. The "send homeless npcs to temples/inns" option is unfinished, but that's disabled by default anyway.

I've been continuing on my character that had just started Tribunal and I have to say, it isn't as bad as it's made out to be, at least not as boring as I remember it. Some fun little quests in the districts and some quite expansive dungeons with actually challenging enemies. Even with the Tribunal rebalance I have to be careful when facing off against multiple lich enemies. Then there's Barilzaar and the Black dart gang, which, while more gimmick fights than anything, are still more complex than most OG Morrowind battles.

When Oblivion came out I was surprised that goblins were huge pushovers because my only experience with Elder Scrolls goblins was Tribunal where they were complete beasts even for my fairly high level Orc Barbarian. Made a similar build for Oblivion and was surprised and s bit disappointed that I could clear out entire Goblin tribes at level 2 without too much trouble.
