coolest thing in morrowind was seeing the ghost fence for the first time

I remember all those years ago when I first played Morrowind, I came upon Ghotfence and saw a lone ash monster banging his head on the wall. Was so scared that I couldn't come near the fence for quite some time.

Athletics takes forever, but it is automatically leveled when you run (and you'll run). Acrobatics are easier and they increase your strength so it is incredibly useful. But I can't break my addiction of jumping around everywhere in MW because of them :saddowns:

I'm torn between unarmored and medium armor now too, how does mixing that work? Does unarmored really suffer for having any other types of armor equipped, or say if I've just got pants on do the two skills multiply? Game mechanics from '02 how do they work :confused:

Unarmored and armored is perfectly mixable. Unarmored gives you armor per slot (chest, legs, feet...), so if you wear a medium cuirass it will just override your chest unarmored armor rating. That said, unarmored is the worst kind of armor out there, so if an attack hits your unarmored legs it will probably deal more damage than if it hits you somewhere where you have a decent armor.

Open the .rar file of that mod and see which files are his. Then delete those in your data folder (hope that you didn't had to overwrite something). Most of the mods have neatly packed files in folders so it's not hard to find them. If the mod came with installer then there is probably an uninstaller somewhere.

Basically it adds a chest that converts your boots into leggings, so that the beast races can wear them. Yes, that does include the Boots of Blinding Speed. I'm not sure about mod added boots, but everything in the base game can be converted.

It really only helps you when you first start out, because later when you're character is a demigod a 50-skill lock is nothing. But in the last room of the census office, the one where you get your orders, behind the dude on the bookshelf is a key. You can grab it and drop it before getting caught like the limeware platter, except that you only have like a tenth of a second because the guard is literally right next to you. It's kind of tricky because you can't even save so if you screw up you have to do the intro all over, but if you manage to grab it and drop it before the guard talks to you, you get access to the storage house. It has a poo poo ton of armor and weapons, and also a lot of moon sugar and skooma.

You can take the candle on the far side of the table, wait for him to reach you, get reprimanded and then run to the key. You can also get him a bit stuck on the table so that you have more time to reach it. But it is much easier just to move the key (have your inventory opened, click on the key to take it and then put it somewhere else on the shelf). It will be registered as a crime, he will yell at you, but you can safely take the key afterwards.

Umm people, you know that when you click on "options" in lower right corner of your journal it shows a list of topics and one button that says "quests" on the right side. Click that and you will have a list of your active quests with arranged dialogue for them. This was added in Tribunal which I believe you all have.

Oct 14, 2013

With enchanting you can enchant various items with magical properties (with soulgems), enchanted items need less charges to be used and you can recharge them more efficiently (with soulgems).

Soulgems are bread and butter of your enchanter. You can find them around the world or buy them from a merchant. But they are useless while empty so they need to be filled (you can find some already filled but that is rare). In order to fill them you must first learn a spell called "Soul Trap" from the school of Mysticism or find an enchanted item that grants you that spell. Cast that spell on a creature you are fighting and kill it within the time limit, which is 60 seconds for that particular spell. You cannot use it on humanoids because there are no black soulgems in Morrowind. Anyway, when you kill a creature his soul will fill a soulgem in your inventory but only if the gem is large enough. You would also want to keep variable sizes of gems on you so that you don't fill a grand soulgem with a soul of a rat. That's just wasteful.

You can use that soul gem to recharge your depleted items (just drag and drop the filled gem on your character) or you can use it to enchant some item. The better quality of an item, more likely it will hold more enchantments. You will also need to learn the type of spell you want to put on the item. So for instance if you know the spell "Firebite" that deals 15-40 fire damage on touch, you can enchant the item with 5-10 fire damage on target with 5 feet radius. You enchant items by finding an enchanter and choosing the "enchanting" option in dialogue.

And lastly, while souls of all creatures can only enchant items with "on use" or "on strike" abilities, souls of some creatures (Ascended Sleepers and Golden Saints) and gods (Vivec and Almalexia) can be used to create a constant effect enchantment and that is extremely powerful.

Hope I didn't miss anything.

Oct 14, 2013

Nah, Soul Trap is a low level spell, you will only need to train a few levels in Mysticism for it to be cast consistently.

No need for weapons my friend! Just make yourself an Absorb Health 100pts for 1 sec spell and kill anything you come across instantly! For some reason even with all the code patches and such this is kinda bugged. It's much cheaper to cast than equivalent fire/frost/shock/poison/drain health spells, and whilst Absorb Health is meant to give the enemy back their health after the duration wears off, it doesn't (or at least it doesn't for 1 sec duration spells, haven't tried anything else).

That's not a bug, absorb health/fatigue/magicka don't give anything back and are not supposed to. That 1 second is how long the absorbing will last. Absorb attribute/skill does give everything back once it expires though.

If Morrowind feels a bit dated to me, what is the best class/skillset to play to make it fun in a broken way that Oblivion or Skyrim could never hope to match?

Alchemy. Make a fortify intelligence, drink it, then make another slightly stronger because of your fortified intelligence, drink that, repeat until you have fortify 23000 intelligence for 3 real life years. Then make a potion for every attribute, health, fatigue and magicka... All in the thousands.

Then make a new game because you will be utterly bored after 5 minutes.

EDIT: Oh, you wanted fun. Try every school of magic, they all have varied and fun spells like jump, fortify speed and bound weapons/armor. Except destruction, it only have direct damage spells.

I'm playing Morrowind for the first time right now in the Year of our Lord 2014 without any mods. I am in the extremely rare position of playing it after having fully played both Oblivion and Skyrim. It is the best Elder Scrolls game if for no other reason that it made me aware that in one point in time Bethesda was capable of designing quests with actual depth that require investigation and allow the player to use their own imagination and creativity when it comes to completing them.

All the haters who says that Morrowind fans are just nostalgic can gently caress off, best Elder Scrolls game then and still the best now. Also I'm not using any guide or walkthrough but I don't get lost all the time because I'm not an illiterate retard.

If Bethesda ever finds the ability to do gigantic WoW-esque forests where the canopy is a hundred feet high and so thick you can barely see through it, while lots of area under that is actually huge open space, I'll get excited about tromping around through the woods in Nirn, but it's Bethesda, so who knows if they'll get anywhere close to that without trying to add like 6 orders of magnitude more polygons.

Now imagine if they do that and give you the option to climb trees plus moving/jumping from one tree to another. It will give you another dimension to combat/traveling.
