What is the exact moment Morrowind gets good?
I could never get into this one.
here
Morrowind peaks in Seyda Neen
When you can actually hit your enemy without missing 100 times
>>743831358So>>743831316?
the moment you install Tamriel Rebuilt, otherwise it's just a worse Skyrim
>>743830905Never, it only gets worse, nearly 70% of this game's quests are boring fetch quests.The only fun part is exploring by your own.
>>743830905When it's your first TES and you're a child/teen so you can gain perma-nostalgia goggles.
>>743830905When that dude falls out of the sky
>>743830905Around the time your spell schools reach about 50 and you can cast some of the more fun spells.
>>743831531Tankiness of Skyrim combat means it's aged poorly compared to Morrowind. In Morrowind if you level up your skills right and use your imagination combat can be really fun. I'm sorry that you're too retarded to enjoy it anon :(
>>743831421Does Tamriel Rebult play nice with Morrowind mods? Can I still install my favorite player stronghold and spell mods?
>>743831853>:(lolbutthurt
Hobo phase in Morrowind is unironically fun, assuming that you build your character right and aren’t a retard who tries to use a weapon with skill level of 5-10 or something.
>>743831316spbp
i hate games i play, for 60 hours. suddenly nothing can hurt me anymore hardly, except a secluded boss in this one buiilding who i may or may not be able to kill at this time (Palworld for example)
How do people even play warrior or stealth focused characters? The only fun part of Morrowind combat/game mechanics is collecting every spell in the game.
>>743830905The moment Skywind releases
>>743832026for the most part yeah
when you uninstalleven Quest 64 is more entertaining than that SHIT
Balmora
>>743831421Tr is worse than Vvardenfell, by quite a bit too, but it's nice to have to make the world feel bigger I guess
>>743830905at character creation
>>743830905Morrowind is one of my favorite games but the fun drops significantly once you explore a lot. Combat is boring as hell and trivialized by magic.
>>743832431Warriors can be fun with 2 different playstyle choices. Either you focus on holding your attacks while evading projectiles, closing in and knocking things down. Or you spam the light attack for the faster weapons to apply enchantments.If you go for even lighter weapons you can hotkey different daggers/arrows and switch between paralysis and poison hits.This crosses over with stealth focused characters, which can have a good opening sneak hit. Don't expect them to work like Skyrim where you are Batman with little investment. "Stealth" characters use stealth more by evading combat than during it. If you want a middle ground you still have to be able to hold your own in a fight.Anyway, killing an enemy from afar with a critical hit + poison, switching daggers with enchantments like they are spells, as well as taking chunks out of enemies healthbar and making them kneel are satisfying to me.
>>743833064try turning the difficulty way up and only give your character 1-3 lives, combat gets pretty immersive when you do that
>>743832440It'll suffer the same fate as FO4:NV and Skyblivion. Bunch of retards sitting on it for decades and then official remasters happen that makes the projects instantly pointless.
>>743830905When you do
>>743830905NeverPlay something else
>>743833360>never misses a morrowind thread to post this fake gif grim life
>>743830905the moment you remind us of its existence, faggot
I'm going to play it for 1st time but I want you boomers to tell me what to pick as the best starting stats.
>>743833202pointless? what do you mean pointless, I haven't bought the unoptimized, abandoned Reblivion, I'm still holding out for the people who actually love the franchise to finish those>sitting on ityou're the retard, the projects saw A LOT of people come and go, some dudes even died in the meanwhile, theres a fuckton of work to be done behind a project of that size, especially when none of them get paid for it, give em time
>>743833543if you like magic get willpower and intelligence and pick up all the magic skills while MAKING SURE to leave at least 1 skill that associates with each stat in misc, so do not take every single willpower or intelligence skill in your build, this is because later when you want to get higher attribute bonuses on levelup you can use a bit of training to get to +4 or 5 without further levelling yourself >or you can ignore that and just accept a lot of +2 bonuses on levelup, it won't matter but might bother your autism
>>743833543Best at what? Just be good at at the skill you want to use.
>>743833508He has that saved (imagine), so might as well use it.
>>743830905When the ship docks in Seyda Neen and the soundtrack kicks in with the silt striders howling in the distance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGn4Gj2wAOE
>>743831358Damn this b8 has been stale for over a decade.
>>743833543You don’t have to autistically minmax, just remember to invest in endurance because it’s what gives you max HP at levelup and doesn’t apply retroactively. Also, weapon skills matter massively, so whatever weapon skill you pick for your character, you want to use it instead of trying to switch something else later on.Avoid following skills>hand to hand (worst combat skill in the game)>unarmored (not really a valid option unless you want to meme build)>armorer (the only skill in the game that works ”good enough” even if you are absolute shit at it)
>>743833998and for a reason, morrowtards keep falling for it

>>743832080No, I'm a eugenicist so seeing the mentally handicapped act up makes me sad.
>>743833543>dark elf>apprentice birthsign>any weapon>any armor>restoration>alteration>illusion>armorer>pick the rest yourself>maybe avoid acrobatics>no matter what else you do, please install the expansion delay mod, just fucking do it>treat the level up bonuses as random, do not look up how they really work or try to minmax themthere you go faggotenjoy
>>743832431Morrowind's not really designed for pure martial/stealth. In the lore even commoners know a handful of small spells. You can get by with scrolls and enchanted items for the most part. You're just missing major quality of life like a spammable high power Jump spell.
>>743833064literally everything except the combat is trivialized by magic. offensive spells suck balls.
Poison Song soon
>>743838767Is TR easier to install nowadays in OpenMW?I remember having to register bsa or something years ago.
About to install morrowind. Are there any mods I should also install?
>>743839194Disable the expansions until you beat the main quest
>>743830905Never
>>743830905when you play literally anything else
>>743839194install the expansion delay mod, don't just disable the expansions completely like the other anon said. that said, you should still avoid the expansions until you beat the main quest.
>>743839194>>743833543The only really important thing for newcomers: the first expansion of the game (Tribunal) starts with an assassin attacking you when you sleep, and it then leads you to a new city.Unfortunately, the devs made the mistake of assuming that everyone who installs the expansion is has already completed the main game, so assassins will also attack new characters. It’s annoying as fuck and they drop op-for-early-game light armor, so you want to do something that gets rid of those faggots ASAP. Three options:>simply disable Tribunal from the launcher / OpenMW load list, but this can cause problems if you use other mods that require Tribunal>install expansion delay mod>simply follow the expansion questline like this: get attacked by assassin, kill them, talk to guard about it, they direct you to city called Ebonheart and tell you to talk to a guy there, talk to him, attacks will now cease and you can forget Tribunal for now and continue playing normally
>>743839750And while the expansion delay mod is the best option, the third option is also fine and Ebonheart is base game location so you don’t really have to start the expansion content to stop the attacks.
>>743839750>they drop op-for-early-game light armorthis is by far the biggest issue about the assassin fucks. their armor is genuinely endgame tier and sells for a ridiculous amount of money. it absolutely skullfucks the intended earlygame progression.>>743839880the ebonheart solution does not address what new players should do with the armor once they have it. just install the fucking mod and forget about the whole thing, there is no other good solution.

The moment where you close it and open up reddit and post on how much better it is than skyrim and you get ine gorrillion updoots by virgins
>>743839750>the devs made the mistake of assuming that everyone who installs the expansion is has already completed the main game, so assassins will also attack new charactersThis is repeated a lot, but it's not true. The assassins scale numerically to level 1 characters, and their attacks are much rarer at lower levels than at higher levels. The only mistake the devs made was not giving them lower tier armour.
>>743830905When that bald druggy is finished fondling your balls
>>743830905When you realize that the game is meant to be broken and you achieve chim.
>>743840493Which is true, but plotwise it makes zero fucking sense that you get attacked by those assassins while you’re a literal nobody fresh off the boat. Makes about as much sense as if Hitler was constantly attacked by some superpower spooks while he was just an art school reject living as borderline bum in Vienna.
>>743833202>Remaster makes the Skyblivon pointlessNo it only makes the mod look way better, Bethesda half assed that remaster and you know it. At least Skyblivon is a proper remake with non copy pasted dungeons and actual boss fights
>>743830905When you leave the C&E office. No handholding, no huge overblown action set pieces. True RPG freedom.
>>743833000In term of map design everything since 2012 is as good as the base gameIn term of quest design everything since 2020 is as good as the base game

>>743839194Being able to see weapons on characters is such a small mod yet does wonders for immersion. Unironically the only mod I'd consider a must have in a first playthrough.https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46069
>>743833543Endurance is generally always good to pick. It affects your health and fatigue which will be very important for new players. For skills just pick the thing you want to do. If you want to use hammers pick blunt for example.
>>743845852Always found Trueflame to be "too anime" for Morrowind/Elder Scrolls' artstyle. It screams 'expansion pack throwing shit at the wall' design philosophy.
>>743845702>It affects your health and fatigue which will be very important for new playersIt's also the only attribute that isn't retroactive. All those zoomers trying to minmax for +5s every level are "bricking" their character by not starting with endurance bonuses and picking it every level.If you mention this to them they'll absolutely flip out.
>>743838647I was counting using enchanted gear to make your melee attacks one shot everything, but you're right, offensive magic sucks dick due to all the reflects and absorbs in the DLC.
>>743831316>tfw you're some adolescent kid and got the GOTY>knowing absolutely nothing about TES>watching this and making the character>knowing shitall about CRPGsI loved every second
I have played Morrowind several times but I am doing my first Tamriel Rebuilt game. Will there be some kind of natural hook to pull me towards TR content or do I need to force it
NAGAAAAAA
>>743846003To be fair, Trueflame and Hopesfire were Dwemer creations. And the Dwemer themselves were very anime (their god was a giant robot!)
>>743846554That's their word you can't say it.
>>743830905Is Morrowind worth getting into in 2026 if I've never played any TES? I'm mostly a jrpgfagCan you play any good dot builds?
>>743830905For me it's when I double click the exe, but it's not a game for everybody.
>>743846647>Trueflame and Hopesfire were Dwemer creationsYeah and it doesn't look Dwemer to me either. Hopesfire is mostly fine, mind you. The Dwemer might've built airships and mechas but they ultimately had a very pragmatic way of designing their tech. Their dungeons, whether it's their Morrowind or Skyrim design, are always cold and to the point, as are their automatons and normal weapon designs. I look at Trueflame's giant curved blade with extra serrations and at the Warrior Within-tier handguard, and it feels like a modded weapon not a First Era Dwarven masterpiece gifted to a Dunmer warlord. I unironically believe ESO's design looks far more fitting. Make its blade a bit bigger and curvier like the original's and it'd be perfect. Skyrim's looks like a plastic toy, fitting given it was added via a Creati*n.
>>743845852What's the cuirass
>>743846771>dot buildsThe type of damage is a lot less important in TES, Morrowind included, than what you're inflicting it with. So you can make builds for a spear wielder or a magician but it's not like you're focusing on only doing one type of damage to enemies.
>>743847016Remember that canonically it was made to basically be gaudy as fuck, Radac even says so.>I look at Trueflame's giant curved blade with extra serrationsIt's meant to look like a flame.
>>743846771Pretty much every damage-dealing spell is a damage over time in Morrowind, and longer duration spells are more mana efficient for the same total damage.You won't want to be a caster exclusively though. It's one of those games where elemental resistances are high and common, and mid-late enemies have spell reflection. Spells are also pretty expensive to cast compared to later games because your magicka pool is solely based on your attributes, not your level, and your magic levels only affect the chance to cast spells successfully, not their cost.

Yeah. See that landmass? You can go there.
>>743851815>>743846513
>>743851815I'd like to have some RP reason. Caius Cosades talks about it like there's not really much difference from Vvardenfell so I guess I should just think it's not any different to go down to the mainland than it is to go over to Sadrith Mora or whatever. The mental boundary I have around Vvardenfell is just my internalization of the game
>>743846771If you want to be a mage you need to be immune to they damage you're casting because a lot of later enemies have low% chance to reflect spells back onto you. So a dark elf with 75% fire resist can tank his own magic (getting a little more fire resist is easy too) and even better a Nord with 100% natural frost resist.
>>743830905When you start the game
>>743851926Old Ebonheart, do guild quests.
>>743848605>when I use a hilarious, if dated, memeFTFY.
People can't enjoy Morrowind because they have a podcast and music playing on another monitor while smoking on a vape.If you can't get immersed in a RPG then its a waste of time. Yea the quests aren't exciting, they're meant to steer you into the world. You can't even go 5 minutes without finding a town, cave or dungeon anyway.
>>743846003Elder Scrolls needs flashier stuff, would serve to counter ESO's mundanity.
>>743838767Yeah.
>>743831531bottom looks more fun for some reason
>>743830905around the midgame or so. I get why the game has the hobo phase and why it works, I just think it's a bit of a slog to do on repeat runs.
>>743830905
Baldur's gate 1 + 2 are a hundred times better than morrowind
>>743830905What do you do besides the main questline? I rushed the main quest to get Aryon's Helper and now I don't know what I should do. Do I continue the main quest? Bloodmoon or Tribunal? Currently level 21.
>>743857185ESO tends to have the craziest flashiest shit in the series though. Compare their Clockwork City to Morrowind's.
>>743857809did you pick a religion yet? the Oracle questline in the Imperial Cult is good.
i would seriously recommend this better dialogue font mod - it doesn't change the font at all, just ups the resolution. By default text in morrowind is somewhat blurry like >>743857724 shows Here's the mod I think it's a good install https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/36873
>>743857783>rtwp liker talks in publicyikes
>>743830905For me it was when I made a rapid fire, fireball/laser ring.
>>743858256Everyone talks about Alchemy loops, that but requires a little bit of gaming the system, enchanting is fucking busted out the gate.
>>743858349don't you need pretty big souls and high enchant capacity rings to make good enchanted rings?
>>743858672Constant Effect enchantments are a trap for the most part. Enchanting something with a decently sized soul is actually piss-easy and allows you to shit out a million fireballs in a second, never mind the fact that if you reach 110 in enchanting every enchantment costs 1 charge to cast.
has anyone done a full coop playthrough with the MP mod? if so how was it?
