So I was part of the TR team for a while (probably still am, they don't kick anyone out) How mad would they be if I leaked all the alpha exterior maps for almalexia and beyond? I am guessing mad. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet tbh.

The Protagonist posted:Honest question, how far along are they? The only reason I've been avoiding TR so far is I don't want to run up against the edge of the completed zone and lose all ~*my immersion*~ http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3430891&userid=188957#post425196915 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3430891&userid=188957#post425229530 Yeah I'd say it's interesting, but that's just me. Baan Malur gets my morroboner going. If mainland morrowind is a U shape they did roughly 1/3-1-2 of the U shape complete and released with NPC's, quests, etc. The exteriors for Almalexia are done, as are "Map4" which is the bottom left of the map bordering cyrodiil. "Map5" is the top half bordering Skyrim where Baan Malur + ash swamps are. "Map6" is the south where Narsis is, that won't be done for years. They've told the exteriors modders to make the current stuff better than work on the future stuff now, which is why three of those shots I took look barren. NPC's and questing takes for-loving-ever, as anyone who's done it would know. The last thing TR wants to do is poo poo out LGNPC level of dialogue at LGNPC quality standards. And they did, for the first release, as it was done by modders who clearly do not speak english. No joke I exported the dialogue to a plaintext file, looked up "commonly misspelled words" and did a ctrl+F and corrected thousands of lines of dialogue. Then imported, handed it over and now it's in game

The Protagonist posted:This worries me: The picture the caption is about is the one above it with 1000000 pine trees, not that little island. OpenMW isn't out and doesn't even have advanced features like "make things not render everything at once" yet anyway. The FPS for the most part is pretty stable, if your draw distance is massive there are only two areas you might have trouble in, one is being fixed (it's another tree problem), the other is Akamora's waterfalls if your graphics card doesn't like that. Which is a shame, because Akamora is beautiful (and it's a city that borders the "looks like a mod" category, because it is TOO good for vanilla. Seriously it is awesome). edit: ^^^ Vivec is already named after Vivec. Mournhold iirc is the colloquial name to not sate Almalexia's self-worshipping interests. also TR stuff: if you're crazy, go loot Kemel-Ze without looking for a map http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:Tamriel_Rebuilt/Kemel-Ze 43 zones. Fourty-three dwemer ruins zones. How is it handled? It kind of isn't at the moment. That might change as Map4 progresses, as Map6 won't be worked on for a while (leaving a drop-off into water), but the consensus is no one wants to do placeholder work. It really isn't an issue, man. If "completed coastline" is a factor/10, then it's 8/10 complete. Only the very south and tiny part of the west don't connect to anything. And even then you have to go over a mountain range to see the nasty edge, so really you're the one looking for it. tripleedit: I should also add that "unfinished content" isn't released. You won't have to deal with a huge unfinished map, the edges just empty into water, in case you didn't know that. VVV mbt fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Feb 21, 2014 |

The Protagonist posted:The plan for when Almalexia is done is to be able to walk in and out through Mournhold, right? That'll at least offer a normal transition from the mainland and back again. But then, how do they plan to handle the cutoff city cells? Interesting technical challenge there. No open cities stuff. There are building models there of course, so if you look in it looks like mournhold. Originally there was an invisible barrier with "An invisible force blocks your path", but that was removed because it's super handwavey. Currently it's "you know very well nothing is in there don't be a dick".

http://fallingawkwardly.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/the-metaphysics-of-morrowind-part-3/ obligatory  post someone made about CHIM and Vivec, it's really really neat. tl;dr someone found all the passages in the Sermons that are super meta and they read really really far into them. quote:“The ruling king is armored head to toe in brilliant flame. He is redeemed by each act he undertakes. His death is only a diagram back to the waking world.” – 36 Lessons, Sermon 11 quote:“The immobile warrior is never fatigued. He cuts sleep holes in the middle of a battle to regain his strength.” - 36 Lessons, Sermon 23 and a lot more meta poo poo that the author seems to think implies Vivec wants you to murder him to beat the game via the backpath. http://mw.modhistory.com/download-49-7228 also this mod that makes the Museum of Artifacts into an actual museum with exhibits and makes it so they accept a ton more stuff is awesome.

Basic things like adding a mayor's house, more shops, a sewer system (which was awful), etc. one of them that I HOPE was overlooked was one that added armor with massive boobs and protruding nipples, and the best part was it wasn't female-only flagged so you could play as a hormonally imbalanced nerevarine

I'm going to recommend a non-GCD/MADD leveler with Linora's (who also has an awesome lockpicking mod). Super lightweight: If you 1+ skill point in a skill governed by an attribute, you get the +5 option to that attribute at level up. Misc and minor skills are slower to level to avoid abuse (except trainers, but then you know what you're doing  )

Karl Rove posted:I also just had the fun of both beating the main quest and then killing Vivec and activating the alternate Wraithguard so I can wear both. How's that for reaching heaven through violence, Vivec? I don't think you can- UESP posted:If you received the original Wraithguard from Vivec, you can still kill him and take the artifact to get a second Wraithguard. This changes nothing except the fact that you now can have two Wraithguards at the same time, each on a different hand. I don't want the MPP anymore. Also I wish there was a fleshed out Camonna Tong faction, even thought you probably shouldn't join it. And a way to help the 6th house without going full insanity, kinda just play both sides and see where it goes. The friends & foes charts always made me happy (eg http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Camonna_Tong on the right), I want to influence that in weird ways.

SunAndSpring posted:Dunno why the game lets you become weird combinations of opposing factions. While it doesn't let you choose more than one House, it doesn't prevent you from, say, becoming a Temple priest and a priest of the Nine Divines or a Telvanni retainer and a Mages Guild wizard. Well the first one is easy, the Cult and Temple want to avoid all-out religious war, considering one is made up of living gods and the other has the backing of an empire. They'd rather just not acknowledge each other. And I think both the Mage's guild and the Telvanni have unique things they say when you're the leader of the opposing guild?

That's what made the Morag Tong and Vvardenfell in general interesting. The DB is a secret clan of assassins getting their orders from a spooky spirit that may or may not be propane fumes seeping out of the ground. The Morag Tong are a weird part of the legal system. You can just walk into their bases at any time, presumably to request a writ. And if you get away with the murder without being seen you're rewarded even greater due to not clogging up the bureaucracy. It's glorious. also morrowind doesn't make you kill an orphanage owner to help some little poo poo. I was a god drat murderer wanting to slay thousands, I honestly wanted to kill the kid's awful VA's (and the kids too) the entire time mbt fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Feb 26, 2014 |

thehumandignity posted:I guess what I'm saying here is that gameplay is really a secondary aspect to this game, it's the world-building and atmosphere that make it one of the best games ever made. In terms of being an electronic toy where the goal is to mark quests as complete, kill progressively stronger things, and make numbers go up, it is a pathetically broken piece of poo poo. Yeah except morrowind does a really good job of making you feel accomplished. In oblivion everything leveled to you, so enemies would always be sponges. In skyrim everything was easy to begin with, to the point they had to add in an even HIGHER difficulty  . In morrowind you go from a lovely wood elf who misses every melee attack to an all-powerful sorcerer leveling city blocks in one spell.
