GROVER CURES HOUSE posted:morrowind was the last tes game where you could legitimately break the main quest, get a second chance to backdoor it and break it permanently if you gently caress that up too This was great, it'd say "wow you hosed everything up retard better load a save" and you'd just defiantly continue anyway and then many hours later find you've just straight skipped half the game with the help of that hosed up spider guy. Game was amazing.

If they'd straight removed the civil war and put that effort into expanding the guild lines it would've been better. Skyrim was ok though, Alduin's alright for a dragon.

The best quest in the game was the one you get from the legion officer where he tells you a "little story" about how the good policeman wants to make everyone happy but needs the "bad people" to go away first, and it basically translated to busting into a bar and murdering everyone inside then hoofing it back to the legion castle before the guards imprison you forever.

Doc Hawkins posted:For people who played all of them (lol), how would you rank the endings of Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3? fallout 3 might have had a retarded "no but you see you HAVE to die it's FATE" ending, but at least it had a proper setpiece at the end with the giant Americabot hurling miniature nukes quarterback-style at the enemy. skyrim was really poo poo, but at least you get to fight the dragon unlike oblivion where the actual fighting is done by someone else

As a reward for your efforts, come back to us in a week and I'll give you re-textured legion armor beats "ha ha well done you killed that bitch fucker check out all my buddies flying around woo" then suddenly absolutely nothing I was so surprised I went and spoke to a bunch of important people to see if there was any special dialogue.

The Protagonist posted:Crossbows are great for that flat loving damage you get as fast as you can shoot it, provided it connects. Only standard marksman weapon over a dwemer crossbow is the daedric bow. Which is that, the kickin' rad spear you can get at the end of Bloodmoon? Because that thing was incredible.

The first temple quests are pretty bullshit for a layman. Make pilgrimages everywhere where you have to drown yourself and go to the ghostgate through legions of cliff racers. Next quest has you go to a daedric ruin to heal some guy. Then you have to make the sacred silent pilgrimage across the entire map. Welcome to the temple fucker how tough are ya

Lewie posted:What's the deal with the other great houses in Morrowind? Redoran, Hlaalu, and Telvanni are pretty well covered. Indoril is suppose to be the Nerevar's great house, right? And Dres is suppose to be a bunch of traditionalists that stay isolated on the mainland? Indoril appears to have turned into the ordinators, so it's p much just a military arm of the temple. Dres are mainland dorks, yeah.

Telvanni is probably the best but Redoran is pretty sweet too. Telvanni just gets so many bonkers quests. The soulgem requirement to build your stronghold is a nightmare unless you know exactly where some big fuckin monsters spawn, though.

Prism Mirror Lens posted:Nah, the best one is the constant effect ring that fortifies intelligence and wisdom by 10 points, in an ancestral tomb somewhere north of Seyda Neen. It's the earliest and easiest CE item to get, and you'll probably keep it on for the majority of the game unless you're cheesing loads of money and godly enchants. Pretty sure villagers mention that tomb if you ask them about rumours. They also mention boethiah's sunken shrine. Seyda Neen is the best-informed fishing village in the world

ddinkins112 posted:Where was that Dremora Lord (I think) who wanted to kill you and rape your corpse (don't worry, he'll be gentle)? That was surprising to say the least when I first stumbled upon that guy. He's in the Maar Gan shrine, part of a temple quest where you taunt him into attacking you for a pilgrimage. And yeah why didnt he imply rape instead of just straight up say it what the hell bethesda

I Said No posted:Is it just me or is Bethesda really bad at humor? Like 90% of it tends to be wacky random monkey cheese bullshit and the rest is super grimdark stuff. Bad as Oblivion was, Shivering Isles at least attempted to be interesting but it was hamstrung by just about every single NPC spouting insufferable random garbage constantly. A lot of the jokes in Morrowind were pretty well done. The condescending tone of the "little story" explanation, stuff like that. I think it might be that they're better at subtler written humour and that poo poo fell away as the focus moved to their terrible voiceacting and retarded jokes departments

Skyrim's greatest innovation is creating a civil war that has literally no impact on anything whatsoever that and "wait... what if mages weren't trusted by normal people? fuckin woahhhhh"

Cannot Find Server posted:That's really one of the things I love about Morrowind. There are quite a few areas where you just are not supposed to go early on, but there's nothing stopping you either. No hand-holding bullshit, no 'this door must be unlocked by a certain key' crap like Oblivion and Skyrim. Actual, real freedom to explore, and if it turns out you aren't supposed to be there yet, remember that place and come back in 10 levels and try again. You can even go to the monastery of the dissident priests and to the cave of the Neverarine whenever the gently caress you drat well please, even though there's really no point to do so until you reach that part of the main quest. You can go all the way to Dagoth Ur and he's just like "maybe come back when you're actually prepared you colosssal moron"

Emasculator posted:Morrowind was a dope-rear end game and the best game of all time, but its soundtrack was pretty drat short. It had a nice sound and I get nostalgic as gently caress over it, but even I can admit that Skyrim's soundtrack was as good or better. there's nothing creepy about doing lots and lots of favours for a weird cat lady you meet in a bar

Horror Queefs posted:So, that said, what should I get? I'll probably make a Medium Armor, Restoration Paladin type class for my first playthrough. I went medium armour, armourer, 420blunt, restoration and athletics with a bunch of poo poo like alteration and mysticism in secondaries. It means you can go temple/redoran and maybe imperial legion/fighters guild/imperial cult as well, which seems like a p good spread. Obviously you can just get hella rich and skilltrain everything and do anything though, that's always an option.

Dr. Lenin posted:Is there a site with good maps of each stronghold? I've always gone Hlaalu because I like that setup the most, and thus can't remember what the others look like, but I was thinking of going Telvanni this time around. I think if you look up indarys manor and tel uvirith on UESPwiki they have maps of the completed strongholds, at least for the exteriors. Indarys is pretty cool as it's a proper little village of two houses and the manor with a wall and watchtower over the gate.

I can't even just try and read and pay attention to everything because I'll literally forget it especially when I go a week without playing. if you have tribunal use the topics section to look up specific poo poo but the journal is still a tremendous clusterfuck lol
