I'd like to add a Creeper/Drunk-Mudcrab style merchant in Balmora with a larger amount of gold so I can sell all the high-value gear I find faster and easier. I don't think the Steam install comes with the Construction Set, but from a search, you can download it on the Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42196/ Only problem is adding a new room/merchant is probably a lot more complicated than it seems.

The construction set also comes bundled in with the gog release. It is pretty easy to use except the controls to move the camera around in the 3d viewport are just the worst thing ever which complicates building big spaces.

I found a video guide yesterday (this one), and was able to put together a room with a clone of Creeper with custom dialog and an inventory of 500,000 gold without too much hassle.

Yeah, the Construction Set camera controls seem very slow. I have to wonder, though, if there's some trick/fix to make them better, because if not, Morrowind modders should be commended for having the patience to put up with them on large projects.

Aight so I got a great big pointless modlist installed and working with OpenMW, installed a few other mods I found on nexus that seemed fun (real telekinesis lol), and started a playthrough for the first time in probably 20 years. I played for a little while, and now I'm thinking I want to start over with a different build and maybe a little more thought put into my mod situation. What are the advantages of using OpenMW over MGE? How hard is it to convert MWSE scripts to work in OpenMW (Hard, I'm betting)? A lot of mods look neat but require MWSE and/or MGE and I wonder if I'm missing out by sticking to OpenMW. Are there particularly cool shader packs I should be using? Are there any good mods that I'm going to have missed by just browsing the first 10 pages of the Nexus sorted by endorsements? I'm aware that I don't need anything, I just like loving my game up with cool poo poo. Really just a general "These mods are good in 2023" list would be nice.

I played for a little while, and now I'm thinking I want to start over with a different build and maybe a little more thought put into my mod situation. I just got a setup going through Mod Organizer 2 that was pretty easy to set up and I haven't had problems yet. I basically just ran MGE with a Vurts tree and groundcover packs and it looks pretty good to me. Obviously if you add a ton of new textures, meshes and shaders to everything it will look "better", but I don't think it looks like Morrowind anymore. I also tried a large mod pack originally recommended on the Morrowind Reddit, but it was a pain and my game kept crashing. I just picked mostly game mods from the top of the nexus modlist too and they are pretty good so far. The only thing that really bugged me as somebody who hasn't played in a long time was the repetitive dialogue. I know a lot of people don't recommend it, but I use the LGNPC mod. I think the two worst plugins are Peligliad because of the bad writing and Ald Velothi because of the tasteless writing. I also got a modern UI from the nexus, whatever one of the earlier one's on the top list was. I'm also using Django's Dialogue which hasnt had any issues with LGNPC yet, and adds just more overall dialogue to the game. I also think some of the big ones like Rise of House Telvanni are always worth it, but I haven't gotten around to it in game so I don't think I could recommend it yet. Same with Suran Underworld and the Less Generic Neravine, Less Generic Bloodmoon and Less Generic Tribunal.

A lot of mods look neat but require MWSE and/or MGE and I wonder if I'm missing out by sticking to OpenMW. OpenMW has much better performance. I can't stress enough how much smoother OpenMW is compared to the vanilla game and that alone makes a huge difference in playability. In terms of graphics capabilities, it's kind of a toss-up imo. OpenMW has better shadows, including character shadows which MGEXE does not have, but MGEXE has slightly fancier shaders available (which I don't even use personaly). Really, the difference between the two is becoming minute, especially as more people switch to OpenMW and develop for it. Used to be it was obvious when a screenshot was in MGEXE vs OpenMW, now I can't tell the difference most of the time. OpenMW-Lua isn't as developed as MWSE-Lua. I think pretty much everything that can be ported from MWSE to OpenMW at this point has been, but yeah, there is a lot of MWSE stuff that relies on capabilities OMW-Lua doesn't have (yet). On the other hand there are some mods that are only available for OpenMW. Personally, I only use a couple of MWSE mods and I'm pretty sure most if not all of them have OpenMW equivalents at this point. Honestly, the only reason I haven't fully switched over to OpenMW is because I can't port my own MWSE mod over yet and it's the only one I consider essential lol If you've got OpenMW set up and running already just play the game. The vast majority of mods don't require MWSE. Proletarian Mango fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Mar 5, 2023 |

I'd have to wait until I finished my current game, though, because I'm using OpenMW currently. Plus, when I do finish, I'd probably go back to Skyrim for a while first, because I put together a modded Skyrim early in February, only to get hooked on Morrowind. - As for progress in my current game, I managed to complete the main quest and defeat Dagoth Ur. From there, I jumped right into the Tribunal expansion. I like the area/setup of Tribunal, but it seems like the game cranks up the difficulty seemingly out of nowhere. There's a quest where you help a Nord search the sewers for his friend, and I ran into a group of Goblins who managed to beat me up pretty badly. Prior to that, I did the quest where you stand in on the play, and the assassin that attacks seemed tougher than the DB assassins you fight down in the sewers. The worst, and the one I'm most curious about, is Gaenor, the Wood Elf you meet when entering the Temple District. I talked to him and gave him 50 gold, but when he asked for more, I looked at the wiki and saw the results of talking to him, and...why? I thought maybe it wouldn't be too hard to defeat him later, but even making use of the enchanted items I had on hand (mainly Aryon's Helper), I had to use Recall to retreat back to Balmora. Tried going back with the Daedric Crescent, but he has Reflect, so the Paralysis effect was no use. How I was finally able to beat him was a strategy outlined on the Notes section of the UESP page where you quaff two dozen bottles of Sujamma and boost your health to 1000 to just kill him in a few hits. I'm just kind of shocked by how he's executed in the game. If you decided you weren't going to play Morrowind without a guide, or if you were playing Tribunal at launch, you'd have no idea that just by talking to this one NPC, you were effectively spawning a super-boss. It's not the first time I've seen something like in a game (see: Star Ocean 2), but never in a way that it prevents you from traveling through a area you need to frequent or pass through normally.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:Tribunal has some really cool parts and writing but basically everything in it is executed terribly lol Honestly when it came out the biggest thing everyone was excited for were the scripting improvements. It was more like a modding showcase that has you interact with the rest of the tribunal and see a bit of the mainland. The extra ingredients were cool too, as was the Ultimate Underworld-style stacked design. e: And yeah I've been playing this game on and off for two decades. I still remember the excitement when I got the game running for the first time - I read some raving reviews but it was hard to imagine, I thought it was going to be more like gothic or some other action-rpg like that.
