You vaguely recall bethsoft's Terminator game SkyNET?.....daggerfall used the same engine as SkyNET and came out a year later.

Daggerfall had alot of interesting ideas but horrible implementation.
Most of the quests/towns outside of the main plot were procedurally generated.
The procedural generated content had less game breaking bugs than the dungeons/quests/NPCs created by bethsoft designers.
You haven't truly played Daggerfall until a skeleton gives you lycanthropy(Wereboar), or randomly clicking on a chain in a dungeon casts the levitate spell on your character.

tldr version: Live vicariously and watch a LP of daggerfall.

LethalFlailfist has a fun L.P. of Daggerfall.

why did I just buy Skyrim on the Steam sale for �2.50, it's not even worth that

Are there any good mods for it other than Trainwiz's stuff and the obvious stuff like Deadly Dragons and SkyUI that I can find in ten seconds on Google? I trust this thread more than I trust the thread of people still actively and routinely playing Skyrim in TYOOL 2014

I would never try to do everything in this list, but its a nice thing to check out for ideas:

Vurt's Groundcover, as suggested earlier in the thread. My deal is this:

There's a tax collector and two kwama foragers under there somewhere.

If you're using MGSO, run it again and set the ground cover to 25% or something. The default is set way too high.

Is there a way to remove the underwater blurriness? It annoys me. Turned the underwater shaders off in mgso so I think its just the base game filter.

I turned off Bitter Coast Sounds in data files because it annoyed me, but uh, nothing actually turned off. Still have the sounds. Still have the dragonflies. What gives?

another way to streamline the quest would be to have Socucius there to witness it.

also, when Processus dies, he needs to ask you to take his ring to Thavere.

i searched every shop in balmora and suran and found 2 bargain restore strength potions. that wasnt even enough to restore my strength to normal

its cool i'll go to that tomb by the lake with the veloth shrine inside

steal from every outdoor crate in balmora, for some reason people just toss out restore attribute potions

so for anyone using MGSO, the Graphic Herbalism mod that's included in version 3 is out of date.

you can get the updated version here: http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43140/

it lets you gather kwama eggs without having to do all the open/take all nonsense, works like the rest of the mod does, but with eggs

hooray eggs

That reminds me, sometimes my grass in MGSO is just hovering a foot or so off the ground. Any way to consistently fix that or is just the price I pay for having grass?

I've been getting the urge to play some Morrowind lately but I don't know what kind of character I wanna be. I've done tanky knights to death, and pure mage is such a slow start without exploits, so suggest me a class.

Also if there are any cool armor mods let me know, I only really have MGSO and a few tweaks installed and I want dope hoods and stuff (maybe capes as well?).

Quorn Resource Integration is good for filling in some gaps in the armor - http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43269

My favorite setup is:

Stealth

Endurance
Luck

Spear
Destruction
Light Armor
Sneak
Security

Alteration
Illusion
Mysticism
Alchemy
Enchant

Open Morrowind posted a status update today: https://openmw.org/2014/every-little-thing-she-does/

quote:

We�re in lock for version 0.32.0. That means that release candidate packages are being built for each platform and any bugs and other problems are cleaned up.

So what got in, last-minute? The most significant news is that the Light spell now works, creating light as it should. This in and of itself isn�t very exciting, but what is worth mentioning about it is that it was the last magic spell to be implemented. That�s right � all magic effects are in! This feature was the second oldest issue on the tracker (#47, right between Creature Animation and NPC Dialogue System � the newest issue is numbered #1857, just to give you an idea), marking another big leap in OpenMW�s completion.

In fact, feature-wise there isn�t all that much left. If we take our list of open features and filter out the editor jobs and everything post-1.0, we can see that this project has less than thirty features left to implement.

Of course, that doesn�t mean that 1.0 is right around the corner. There are over 200 issues to be worked through before that, after all. But those 200 issues are mostly bugs and if you�ve seen our last release video, you know that our development team has people on board that squish bugs with an impressive pace. (In fact, personally I am quite convinced that Scrawl in particular is secretly a robot.)

So when will 0.32.0 arrive? Very soon. The team is in the final stages of pushing the release out, so hang in there. Soon you�ll be wizarding like Myrddin.

Still can't steal the limeware platter, total bullshit. 3/10.

I haven't played with the graphics settings much since I don't have much experience with OpenMW, but I did notice it's only getting 50 FPS and seems stuttery compared to standard Morrowind where I'm getting 60-100 FPS.

Nah, I know it's alpha, just didn't know if there were any settings people knew of that could help anyway.
