After 27 hours, this is my current Morrowind play through. First time I’ve really gotten into the game since I was a kid: Weird skill/attribute numbers are from Natural Character Growth and Decay, which I turned out to not be super excited about but I’d lose all momentum if I started another run without it.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:paying our respects at Lowtax's corpse I see lol Yes, I literally grabbed the hammer from his body, posted it in the thread and have been using it to level blunt weapons ever since lmao Ginette Reno posted:Nightblade was what I went with on my run a couple months ago. Had a pretty good time with it. I was an Argonian though. I used my old favourite alternative start, that the ship had crashed off Azura's Coast, so it was pretty easy to fall in with House Telvanni from there. I don't think many of the other factions block each other off, but I'm currently working on the Morag Tong since one of the later targets is right next to a propylon index I want. Then I'm going to do the Tribunal Temple, and I've also done significant portions of the Thieves' Guild, Mages' Guild, and Imperial Legion. Main quest what's that

Vavrek posted:The main pair is that the Fighters and Thieves guilds are at war. Doing the quests for both in Balmora requires carefully threading a needle to make sure one or the other doesn't kick you out. Also, a couple of the end-of-faction quests have tricky conflicts to navigate. Oh, right - i started the thieves' guild already (did everything in Sadrith Mora and some stuff in Balmora) so I should be fine, and I'm aware that I don't want to follow the stupid mage's guild archmage's instructions. Got a big set of UESP tabs to make sure I don't gently caress anything up, but thank you!

Midig posted:Oh look! Morrowind modding is not a complete shitshow. In fact OpenMW 0.47 is promising and I finally made the switch. I had to remove MWSE, Code Patch and MGE XE. So how do I make water and Lightning look great? Also, feels kind of cathartic to remove MWSE dependant mods I cannot use anymore. The limitation is somehow quite freeing. Modding-openmw.com has a guide to getting some lighting mods up and going in OpenMW.

But the way it floats when you stand still and the leg clipping makes it quite unappealing. you can't update windows to something released in the last five years, including windows 10 which was literally free? if not, try some of the texture mods at modding-openmw

But LOOK AT THIS: you can literally install windows 10 with any old windows 7 or windows 8 key, likely including illegal ones. microsoft has all but explicitly publicly said they do not care they just wanted as many people as possible on windows 10.

here's my stats at the end of tonight's session note i'm using ngcd so stats work a bit differently than they do in vanilla morrowind (that's why i have drastically less health for example) i've mostly just been making lots of potions, selling them to creeper, and investing the profits in training, i am still very early on as far as most of the game's quests go

Lawman 0 posted:How do I get the delta merge program to work? okay, so step 1 is to make sure your other mods are loaded and working in OpenMW step 2 is to download the delta plugin executable and install it where it says it goes step 3 is to copy the path to the delta plugin executable, paste it into a command prompt and run "delta_plugin.exe merge", this will create a new omwaddon file in the delta plugin directory if it completes successfully. (this step will work a bit differently if you're not on windows). recently the delta plugin hasn't been refreshing the command prompt for some reason for me but hitting escape gets the command prompt to show the messages from it working for me step 4 is to edit your openmw.cfg file and add the delta plugin to your load order - you need to add the folder itself as a data source (you can use the same path you copied in step 3), then the new omwaddon you created in step 3. this new omwaddon must be the absolute last addon you load. you need to redo this every time you add or update any addon or mod from now on.

FlocksOfMice posted: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. quote:The non-summoned Dremora will now summon help of their own; lesser Dremora calling on Clannfear, Dremora Lords calling in their own Dremora lackey! oh so it's YOU i have to blame for every dremora fight turning into twice as many it's actually one of the few things i fear so i am grateful for that change making the game challenging

Jack B Nimble posted:I'm starting to think about my next Morrowind character, which I know will be a conjuration focused mage; someone a bit amoral, a little self centered, etc. It’s generally fine to be head of both. The archmage of the mage’s guild wants the telvanni dead but he only gives you that quest as basically an attempt for you to get yourself killed (and it’s not something you need to do or that the mage’s guild quests expect you to do). House Telvanni doesn’t super care. If you do the Telvanni mod package (Uvirith’s Legacy+Rise of House Telvanni) there’s actually some quests that expect you to be head of both.

general question: are there any quests people find particularly fun or interesting in base Morrowind that are NOT either the main quest or a faction quest (if it's one of those two I have done it or am going to do it), I'm closing in on finishing the main game and I'd rather not go through literally every list of quests in each settlement or each area on UESP to find the ones that are really worth playing. Also not concerned about gaining power stuff because I have absurd stats in everything and great gear.

It turns out there's a limit to how many ingredients you can put in the alchemy desk in Uvirith's Legacy and it's somewhere around 20,000 eyeballing my inventory. TIME TO FLOOD MORROWIND WITH AMAZING POTIONS OF poo poo NO ONE WOULD EVER WANT like 440 seconds of restore 900 luck

Mamaea is loving creepy. It's one giant hollowed out spinal column, and it's just full of Sixth House monsters including the only Dagoth outside of the Ghostfence. It's got a pool so deep swimming to the bottom makes the game bug out, and it's mostly empty of any features except for a bone fang weapon (the Fang of Hletters) and one poor fucker who got trapped there and is probably gonna be converted into a dreamer. Morrowind is good at creating scary but honestly that might freak me out the most.

Jay Rust posted:I used the Morrowind++ guide, linked in the OP, and am very happy with it. Though it took two evenings to finish setting it up. And i started paring down on some of its suggested mods over the course of several hours of playing, as I found some changes I didn’t enjoy. So maybe ten fewer mods and twenty new mods NOT on the list later, I think it’s in just about the perfect spot, for me I liked Friends and Foes’ general NPC additions, they largely fit in very well and are fun (although their grammar can be a bit off.) It’s cool seeing mages recall into towns and go around doing their business or being attacked by random bandits (if you don’t like the added aggressive/enemy NPCs, you can turn them off or adjust them by talking to any town guard anywhere). The companions it adds are loving horrible though, don’t use that part at ALL.

Gobblecoque posted:In all my years I've never heard of anyone installing mods in this manner haha. Are you using Mod Organizer? If not, get that. this is how you did it prior to wrye bash and all the tools that have followed. mod organizer has limited support for morrowind and none for openmw (there's a script to tie the two together but it has some issues). so yeah, being familiar with modifying your openmw.cfg by hand is important right now. @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. 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.
