What kind of builds do you like playing as?
>>731019559The one that reminds me of Link from the Legend of Zelda
I just use a spear or longsword. i'm sure magic and alchemy are very op but I couldn't be bothered to figure them out, too tedious and too much info for me.
>>731019559There is only one build. Enchant/Alchemy build. Everything else is sub-optimal, which makes Morrowalk a really shitty RPG.
>>731020070Every rpg has an optimal build, so every rpg is bad?
>>731019559I had fun playing an archer, I was even able to kill that fucking 700 luck wood elf without buff stacking or whatever
>>731019559>High STR>Long Blade>Blunt>Alteration>Restoration>IllusionNow we're gaming>>731020070Bothering to level Enchant or Alchemy is proof that you only know about Morrowind from reading /v/ threads. Them being gamebreaking has nothing to do with actually taking them as your skills.
I always go with an argonian long sword spellsword hybrid character who also focuses on Alteration (I need flying in this game) and Restoration (Just a great skill in general and I love running everywhere while being able to restore my stamina for combat). I just love mixing combat and magic in this game. I also like focusing on speed agility and strength primarily
>>731020126If there is such a power level gap between the top build and everything else, yes. But that doesn't happen usually. Playing a non-meta build can still be fun, except in Morrowalk, where you are insanely gimped and even move at a snail's pace if you don't minmax.
>>731020381I mean you're just wrong but ok. Morrowind is like the worst game to minmax in because it's miserable to do so.
>>731020381its hard to claim its even a "build" when there isnt anything stopping you from including it in every single characteri dont really understand the idea of a morrowind "build" outside of the context of roleplaying, and if you are that autistic then you could come up with a contrivance to not utterly break the game completelyjust saying, "i like to use blades, heavy armor and conjuration spells" doesnt really mean anything when you are like, an hour's gameplay worth of stuff away from being just as capable being a stealth archer on the same character, provided you know what you're doing. the only thing that changes if you dont is that it takes longer.it would be a much more interesting conversation to ask, "what are the items you enjoy using, and how do you support them?" or something, because it is very much more often the case that there might be something that you like using (maybe an armor set with some kind of aesthetic, like an imperial legion armor or something) and you have to find interesting ways to make it keep up as you level, doubly so if its a weapon or something.a "minmaxed build" literally does every option available and perfectly
>>731020381>you move at a snail's pace if you don't minmaxor you just get the shoes of sight-impairing velocity because you aren't on your first playthrough.
>>731021010>Let me just metagame with my 100% magicka resist for 1 second spell even though it doesn't make roleplay sense to have this spell on most buildsYes, continue to prove Morrowind is a shit tier RPG, please.
>In Morrowind you can be anything>this upsets the losers with no self controlrofl
>>731021347you dont understand i HAVE to minmax
>>731021289>opens up minimap>uses the boots as intended instead of keeping them on 100% of the time even during combat
>>731021535i have a job and a life there is no way i am doing this bullshit to myself for no reason
>>731021654the like >"i have a job and a life"shit works for games that have a challenge that requires rote memorization as the only skill. some shit like doing elden ring bosses with restrictions, or like kingdom hearts super bosses, where you just like, have to survive against something that kills you in one hit for like 4-8 minutes straight while it wails on youmorrowind is not that game, using the minimap to navigate while blind and out of combat is not hard. if you stop moving forwards, walk backwards and then move side to side until you start going forwards, or even take the boots off.you can complain all you want about morrowind, but every issue you've described has 100% been self inflicted. not only are there means around the boots (and thus, the larger game's) negatives, but even if you didnt want to side step them, there are intuitive means that fit within a normal, non metagaming understanding of the game>"waaaah game is too slow">ok here's boots>"waaaah boots are too hard to use">ok here's negate magic>"waaaah it doesnt fit my roleplay">then dont use boots?
>>731022242can you chill out man i love morrowind im just not fucking playing morrowind with the boots while running around blind staring at a 2d map. thats simply not fucking fun. i will drink the "resist 100 magicka for 1 second" potion and i dont give a fuck about your arbitrary notion of using stuff "as intended". i find it strange that you guys think that the only way you can enjoy morrowind, is if you project some kind of hardcore attitude on an anonymous basket weaving forum. it grants you nothing.
>>731022242>using the minimap to navigate while blind and out of combat is not hardnobody said its hard, its just boring, unfun and unnecessary. why intentionally gimp myself?
>>731019559stealth + magic
>>731019642That's not Link, that's Celes from the hit video game Final Fantasy VI.
>agility is needed to increase hit chance>This is very important for melee users>None of the agility skills fit in a big dick knight/samurai with big ass sword buildThis game has so many problems
As a huge fan of japanese media, I choose to play as a magic swordsman.
>>731022742>>731022664>not funIf you don't enjoyhttps://swfchan.com/17/82963/?doorstop.swfThen Morrowind is not the game for you
>>731022857She also reminds me of Link from The Legend of Zelda.
>>731023235maybe if you actually liked morrowind you would know that you dont have to restrict yourself to these arbitrary rules. the game lets you do whatever you want and imposing rules on yourself and others for hipster cred does not make you have a personality. the devs have even talked about how anarchic the game is and how its one of its strengths
any kind of warrior is best. you cant beat nord atronach to start. that already sets you off with such a chance against magic, you can just focus on leveling up quick with acrobatics, speed. it doesn't take long that just through questing you come across shit that makes you invincible vs magic and stuff, or you can enchant +5hp/s rings yourself. so i liked to focus on a being a warrior first, then fill in the secondary stuff with constant effect relics.early levels of mw are much more fun though so you should't rush your character. you'll get way more out of it if you just choose random stuff and roll with it. you eventually end up a god either way
>>731022968Agility really isn't that needed, each skill level gives you 5x the effect anyway
>>731023387You didn't play the game
>>731019559I can't progress in Morrowind unless I play a fighter build. Trying to do stealth or magic early on feels impossible
>>731024201>game explicitly says something is important but it isn't
