Owned containers are the other trap, but I feel like that's something most people wouldn't naturally run afoul of these days. Technically you don't even need to use containers at all if you don't want to.

Ironically, because it's an older game without a physics engine, its a lot simpler to decorate your house with momentos, and and physically store your supplies outside of containers, in Morrowind than Skyrim. My bedroom in my last playthrough had a shelf piled with clutter I would rummage through like someone searching for a missing tool. My closet had old camping equipment stuffed out of sight. Outside I had a wood stove, a fire pit, and a woodpile.

My OG Morrowind character had a base in a Solstheim barrow where I decorated every corpse shelf with rare artifacts. Daedric helmets, various artifacts, Azuras star containing Vivec's soul. etc.

I want to finish my current playthru since I'm actually playing the expansions for the first time but after that I might start a new character for TR only stuff since that progress update looks amazing.

I've been thinking of this mod i half-made that's entirely about containers, i should probably finish it before i die of old age, but i need to figure out how to move objects around without blowing the game up. If there's a specific object i want, like a crate in a cave, do i need to do anything special to make it appear outside that cave? That was my biggest problem, i assume i f'd up the references somehow and while i could do things like move a crate around, changing loading zones in certain ways would cause it to flip out. You could steal the fargoth's ring barrel and slap it onto the roof of caius's house, but trying to put it down inside the census office would crash.

Kenshi does look cool but yeah, I doesn't appeal to me for some reason. I think I need a little bit of structure and content when playing. Like I'll make up a character who joins the Imperial Legion and eventually found faith and joined the Imperial Cult as well. But I wouldn't come up with the idea all by myself, like "I'm going to be legionnaire and build my only little fort and raid these dungeons for the good of my imaginary faction." I need the story too, even if it's barebones. Maybe Morrowind has struck a perfect balance between providing content and keeping it so light you can make up whatever story or reasons for your actions you like. Anyway, I've been finishing up some of the tougher fights in Tribunal. Gedna Revel was particularly fun. My last time fighting the lich was with my decked out OG character and I think I tanked her with a bunch of saved healing potions. This time I'm a spear-weilding Argonian in non-echanted armor, specializing in alchemy and some magic but not being great at either. So if I chugged a bunch of resist fire, frost and magicka potions I could maybe avoid being insta-killed by one of her attacks for like a minute or so. Meant I had to use my speed (which was only really close to Gedna's) and weave in and out from behind pillars, dodging her magic and healing up, conjuring my bound spear again and getting a stab or two in before she had time to back away. It was tense! Makes me wonder how my second, bow and arrow, light armor, character will fare against the werewolves in Hircine's labyrinth...

The trick in Morrowind is to abuse the intelligence exploit to create potions of feather that remove 5000 or so weight from your inventory for several days. Not fortify strength since that makes your weapons break super fast.

The world of Morrowind makes a strong case for continuing adult education. Trained be a trader? Got your mercantile up to 100? The pack guars keep dying or running away? Get ye to the Mages guild, invest in alchemy, chug some potions, carry more poo poo than a stilt strider could ever dream of. Stay away from necromancy and no one will gently caress with you. No warp demons, no corruption of the soul, no witch hunters, nothing. Just mix them herbs and stay hydrated.

Since the Xbox days I have always made sure to keep a handful of flowers just in case. I got crippled fighting a bone walker under vivec. While I survived it was futile, I was trapped, naked, all my items on the ground, with 0/0 carry capacity. Couldn't even crawl.

Tips on a full cleaning of a Morrowind install? People might recall a previously did a hybrid install of French Localization, french MCP, and other mods in English, and while it worked fine for that playthrough, I Don't seem to have completely started clean. I uninstalled the game, I deleted the associated steam folder, I'm on a different Mod Organizer profile. Anything I missed? Error messages when loading (mod file not found etc) are still in french, so there's still some stuff I haven't cleared.

I don't know very well but if I recall certain registry entries will persist even if you uninstall. I'm not sure how this might affect your case but it could be something to look into. Or a red herring. I used to mess around in there a lot and if I remember right it's extremely odd what kinds of things got stored there vs what was stored in files in the game folder. Are you 100% sure the game folder got completely wiped, and MO is on a fresh new profile pointed at a clean directory?

I'm 100% sure I uninstalled the game, then opened the associated steam apps folder in file explorer and manually deleted it and all of its contents. I'm not actually 100% sure I didn't make some dumb dumb mistake with MO2 profiles, so I'll double check that.

FlocksOfMice posted:When Morrowind came out, it literally changed my interaction with video games. I'm probably some flavor of autistic and I used to play video games kind of in parallel, playing them for a short bit and then getting bored and just kind of daydreaming out the rest? I mostly stuck to tabletop games because it was the only kind of play that wasn't so restrictive. RPGs were decent, Ultima 4 gave me the first taste of an actual free-roaming thing, Ultima 9 was the first game that really gave me a "no, hey here's a world that's yours inhabit it and have fun." drat, are you me? I like to say that Morrowind is like the foundational game of my childhood because not only did it open my mind to the possibilities of things like that and set my expectations for open world games and RPG's in general going forward, but it's the gold standard I hold all other fantasy worlds and societies to. I got in on Kenshi right around release, and it's really the only game that's scratched that same Morrowind itch much at all for me. Kenshi is what Morrowind-obsessed 12 year old me would've designed as his dream game - it's very much not for everybody, but if you're the type of person it is for and you can look past all the jank, it's a hell of a unique experience.

So, just a little warning for anyone else reading the thread and buying Kenshi after only looking at screenshots: it's a third person game like baldurs gate or fallout 1 and 2; which just feels very different to me from Morrowind.

It's not so much about it being third or first person, for example I liked Outward, it's that there's a difference between "I am this character, my WASD is directly tied to their movement" vs "click here to watch your character go to this spot". And that's not to say I don't like those kinds of games, Baldurs Gate and Pillars of Eternity are all time greats, but I hadn't expected a "this game evokes Morrowind" type game to have such a different control system and user experience, and it's illustrating to me personally how essential I find this element of a game.

Went in expecting a third-person RPG but it controls more like a squad-based RTS which I found offputting

In traditional genre terms Kenshi and Morrowind are no where near the same genre yeah it's that both are really the only two entries I've ever played in the "this is your dollhouse, tell what story you like and I'll try to back you up on it" genre. Kenshi isn't even a good game, like there's really nothing different to ACQUIRE in the Fog Islands compared to the Gray Desert compared to the cannibals coast, like it doesn't even really reward exploration often with anything more than pretty scenery and new emergent events to affect your running story in a genre with two games it's the worst of them, but it's also in second place, because it's a genre with like, two games e: Spore is also in the same genre but it's so bad for it it is there by accident I feel and hardly counts including FlocksOfMice fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Jul 18, 2022 |
