Get out of here, outthreader.


... still here, n'wah? Let's see if we can make you less of a filthy s'wit.

I want some mods, publican.

Go here for some graphics. Don't install poo poo like Better Bodies & Heads or that poo poo that adds a bunch of foliage everywhere or any poo poo that adds bullshit like NPCs though or anything else that changes Morrowind's timeless aesthetics instead of updating them, or you'll be forever marked as a bitchmade n'wah (unless you like hanging out with a dude whose face came from a 2005 era .jpg of Morgan Freeman's face in a Balmora that looks like a jungle, LMAO)

Here's some gameplay poo poo. Trainwiz is a cool nigga and has generally good taste; he is decidedly not an n'wah. Any lorebreaking bullshit is marked off, so you can avoid it like the garbage it is. However, LGNPC, Darknut's GDR, Rise of House Telvanni and Tel Uvirith Expanded, Voiced Vivec and Yagrum, Starfire's NPC, and a few others are garbage and for stupid outlanders who don't know how things work.

I think Morrowind is dated!

Die, fetcher.

The Civil War sideplot was so terribly uninteresting because of how it forced you to pick a side. You're the closest thing this culture has to the second coming of Jesus Christ if Jesus Christ slew dragons and breathed fire (and this entire civil started in the first place over banning the worship of Dragon Jesus Christ) but you can't rally your own troops and roll the opposition's heads yourself? Ulfric gets by merely on the rumours of being a dragonborn and you could march in, vaporize him by shouting at him and declare yourself king and take the war to the Thalmor yourself.

Everyone cool from Bethesda is long gone. All that is left is Todd Howard and the fucker who made Cliff Racers and the Mages Guild questline in Oblivion.

Also, I love how being Dragonborn essentially means you have a part of Akatosh (who is also Alduin who is also Auriel who is also Ruptga who is also Lorkhan who is also Shezzar who is also Sep) inside of you. So when you fight Alduin, it's more like you're fighting yourself because Akatosh is loving nuts.

Morrowind's dungeons are also the best. They were creepy and dark and confusing as hell. My biggest beef with Skyrim is the terrible dungeons. Only that big one with the glowy mushrooms was good. The rest all feel the same because they are essentially a single hallway leading back to the exit.

Man, Blackreach was wasted potential. There's only two quests there: get the Elder Scroll and collect 30 plants. It's big and it looks good, but that's about it.

I don't remember if this was a problem with Morrowind, but in Skyrim I would often stumble in to some random interesting place I found (or, you know, a hallway) and reach the end only to find out tha I was supposed to have found this place via a quest given somewhere else entire, usually a nearby town. I remember finding one place that I got to the end of and discovering I was supposed to have gone here with a random plot trinket called a Lexicon I would have gotten from some random gently caress in town. It basically put you in the mindset of ignoring discovered ruins until you are supposed to go to them by way of arbitrary instruction.

That's not what ruins should be like. They should be interesting locales in their own right that you can then explore upon finding yourself and find within whatever purpose they serve.

I seem to remember most dungeons having doors that had really high skill caps to open, but you could just pick through them and sequence break if you wanted to. A few story-related ones that wouldn't open until you did some things, but otherwise everything was open to you.

Bethesda really does not seem to grasp that giving people a 8x damage backstab only works in a tabletop game with other people or MMOs, and that in a single player game with AI too braindead to find you after a minute, it really trivializes the game.

they probably don't care because it's a single player game and you could just not do that

I generally prefer the game to be balanced no matter how many people can play it at a time. Makes replaying it much more fun, as you can try out new approaches without feeling like you're gimping yourself.

The first time I played Morrowind was on xbox. Dear god those load screens

I think the reason for that was that Bethesda, being bad at programming since the genesis of their company, only tested it on one version of the Xbox when there were like three of them floating around at the time. So on that one version, it worked pretty decent. Every other version, however, failed miserably at load times.

xbox morrowind owns, people had to make a program to fix its saves

It stores every single container you open and what is/was in it with no regards for a max size so your save can get so large the xbox's ram can't handle loading it

Not to mention that if you have too many things in one area, a bottomless bag will spawn, devour a few of the items permanently, and keep the rest inside of it.

gently caress fortifying stats bro, use Soul Trap to permanently bind invisibility, flying, water breathing, etc
