You should commit to doing it, get sucked into the insanity that is morrowind modding in 2021, break your install at least 4 times, finally get it working and be so mentally drained by the process that you don't end up playing much past getting the boots of blinding speed.

I liked Arcanum/Arx Fatalis more. Wizardry 8 definitely owns the most tho. Wizardry 8 is baller as gently caress. Wizards & Warriors was an aight game but I still liked it more than Morrowind. Tbh the mechanics and gameplay of Morrowind sucked mad rear end. It had good world building but Arx Fatalis had better atmosphere and Wizardry 8 was just a plain better game to play.

No, it has the same problem as every other Bethesda game where you can gently caress with the animation, physics values, balancing, weapons, etc. but it still feels like utter rear end in a top hat because the fundamental framework doesn't allow for decent combat.

That’s all part of the charm. It’s got that janky bullshit difficulty to it. Until you learn the mechanics and figure out how easy it is to break it completely It’s an incredibly rear end difficult, hard to approach and not open to beginners, yet still incredibly easy game once you get to know the way it works

I just remember having the most fun stealing everything I could find without alerting anyone, and murdering people in cold blood so that I could "own" more property. I got better later in life. E: Just the novelty of so much stuff being movable, like nicking lanterns to sell for peanuts, was amazing to see in a full 3D engine.

It isn't janky in some kind of fun Gothic style way where the combat has really weird rules, mechanics, and controls. You just click and you either kill poo poo or miss nonstop and don't kill it. Arx Fatalis again, is a very good example of jank that DOES have charm, because there's still something enjoyable about the combat even though it's a PitA half the time. There is nothing to enjoy about Morrowind's combat because it doesn't even make your broke rear end poo poo feel fun.

Gothic 1 was so loving sick. If you tried to steal from someone they wouldn't go all scorched earth on your rear end because you stole a potato from a guy with 2 cents to his name in the middle of fifty thousand guards, they would just calmly walk over, beat your rear end, then take your poo poo off your unconscious body as you lay there like an idiot until you got back up.

Yeah it sucks dick but sucking dick is part of the charm. It’s what makes it a broken unplayable game that’s not made for people who are unfamiliar with it. That’s why it’s the best millennial rpg You’re taking at me like sucking dick is a bad thing

The game stops being difficult a tenth of the way in even if it's your first time playing and you're just doing random rear end poo poo, it's not some abstruse experience like an AD&D Gold Box game like Death Knights of Krynn. That's the other thing, people always go on about how you can break Elder Scrolls games, but there's no real reason to do it besides the gently caress of it because the games themselves are piss easy - well except for Oblivion if you level up too much lmfao.

It's not impenetrable, it's extremely basic to break it, you'll probably do it without intending to because of how the skill effects compound on enchanted objects. It's just like Daggerfall where if you ever made a super cheap spammable spell just because you wanted to, oops you already broke the game because now it's going to level your Destruction at mach speed.

A large part of what makes morrowind so great is how obtuse it is. No compass pointing towards your next direction. You get actual directions. Take the mage’s guild from balmora to caldera and take the road west out of town. Travel down to a fork in the road and take the right path. Eventually you’ll see a naked guy, then just keep walking until you see a big rock. That sort of stuff Make sure you take that minor skill in axes and pick up the hidden axe in that tree stump in seyda neen. Don’t do medium armor, there’s no master trainer. Always gotta get those scrolls of Icarian flight on your way out too

Speaking of ES games getting a modding renaissance, Daggerfall Unity is fun on a bun with the smaller dungeons option enabled.

Another thing I like about morrowind is that everything was hand placed. Every. Single. Thing. Was hand placed. All the secrets items. All the hidden detours you can only get to by looking up and levitating in every unassuming cave. Every last single piece of geometry in the game, all hand placed. And this ties into the leveling system. In oblivion and Skyrim, nothing will be too difficult or too easy. Morrowind, you’re meant to take a rough path. This means that if you go into the wrong area, you won’t win. If you go into the right area, you’ll get yourself endgame equipment at level one. Newer Bethesda games are just kinda eh, whatever, can’t mess it up. You go through it and you’re along for the ride. Morrowind, you go through it, and you’re along for the ride. gently caress it up and you gently caress it up.
