Tamriel Rebuilt's Morrowind expansion, Poison Song, is dropping here soon. So what the plan for you guys going in? Using existing characters, or building brand new ones? Let's have a good thread and talk about the upcoming expansion to our favorite game.
>>744960465I might consider playing Morrowind vanilla on the Xbox when it comes out, the hype is real
>>744960608That's a interesting choice. Why play the vanilla console version?
Here's the character I'm using for Poison Song. I'm going to be a Khajiit commoner. Going to be playing on max difficulty with perma-death. I think it's going to be a good challenge.
>>744960465I never played it before because I generally get burnt out before finishing the main quest but I made a character a while ago for the Hlaalu content because I heard good things about it (and bad things about Telvanni which was my first choice).I have 3 character templates in mind to spice Morrowind up since I tend to optimize the fun out of it every time.>pacifist imperial priest (my current character)>conjurationmaxxing dunmer with as many constant effect bonewalker summons I can fit>full speed argonian using only clothes and bound equipment to stay as close to zero weight as possible
still need to play this game some time. furthest i got was like 3 hours in at balmora. just need to give it more time i think
>>744961271>pacifist imperial priest (my current character)Pacifist build have always been the most interesting for me in Morrowind. The last time I did it, I was a Khajiit courtesan. Had exquisite clothes enchanted to hugely boost my personality. By end game, most "hostile" NPCs didn't even engage in combat with me, and for the ones that did, I used charm spells to chill them out, then talked them down to keep them passive when the sell wore off. It was a pretty fun way to play the game. I should do it again sometime.
>>744961282Just play at your own pace. Morrowind, even when not modded, is a pretty huge game. Don't force yourself to complete everything in one go. You'll get burnt out that way.
>>744960465I'm glad that some people care so much.
>>744962448How can we not? Tamriel Rebuilt is fucking amazing, and we're about to get some new content to sink our teeth into.
>>744960465Based
>>744960957PS is a mod?
>>744961640I thought it would be nice to see if the TR devs snuck some hidden dialogue anywhere so that's also a reason I went with it. Unfortunately, Morrowind only really hides dialogue with the Sixth House and that one vampire who was also a trainer.
>Using existing charactersdoesn't every new TR expansion require you to start a new game? anyways, i was thinking of making a cult insquistor type character. blunt weapons and blocking as major skills. i don't think i've ever used the blocking skill before.
>soonWhen?
>>744960465Im gonna play an Ordinator of course
>>744963069>doesn't every new TR expansion require you to start a new game?You can clean your save to make it work
>>7449631523 months. Giga copers think end of this month but that's 100% not happening.
>>744964425why wouldn't it be at the end of this month? they're already past the content lock (late July), doing playtesting, releasing promos, etc; that has never taken more than a month or so before and this isn't an especially large release
>>744964425Naw. Youtubers have gotten early access to the expansion already, so it's going to be dropping sooner rather than later.
>>744962921Yeah. Posion song is the latest expansion to the mod, Tamriel Rebuilt.
>>744960689Nostalgia, Morrowind is a console game to me after hundreds of hours back in the hayday.
>>744960465Currently playing as a Redguard Bounty Hunter in the PT-Cyrodil for the second playthrough. Either I continue that character through using the Chargen mod with some interesting start, turned Crusader/Inquisitor for some role-play reason or make a Dark Elf what-ever-class-fits for the Indoril & Buoyant Armiger factions. I hope they take their time to let it cook properly, I'm not in the mood to update my mod list just yet.My Morrowind game is modded to the tits with MGE/MWSE, still going strong, for nearly 10 years. I've managed to make the perfectly balanced game for my purposes, with a hard but satisfying economy and leveling/training speed, and all the goodies MWSE delivers.
>>744960465it's been a while since I last played Imperial, I'll go for a heavy armor tower shield and mace paladin I guess
>>744960465Going to be making a racist Dunmer granny recently returned fom the west where she went as a young acolyte after receiving a vision from Saint Rilms. Disgusted by the state of current Morrowind she goes about to change things by joining House Indoril and rejoining the temple. Main weapons gonna be staff since I've never really used them supplemented by Hand-to-Hand. Going to use no armor, minimal magic and clothes and weapons have to be low grade to align with vow of poverty. Most of the gold I earn is gonna be donated to shrines. I think it will be interesting with these restrictions. Main factions gonna be Indoril and Temple obviously.
>>744966792Understandable, but I would still recommend you play the PC version somewhere down the line. Tamriel Rebuilt is an amazing mod that every Morrowind fan should experience.
>>744960465So I've played Tamriel Rebuilt for the first time in May, despite playing vanilla Morrowind since release. There's so much content I had to take a break after doing Morag Tong/Fighter's Guild/Legion, and I haven't even joined any of the Great Houses, plus there's Cyrodiil and SkyrimGotta say miscellaneous quests are the best
>>744968648There's so much content nowadays I have to limit myself and actually roleplay as my character
>>744960608what
>>744960465Playing as the Naga race and joining the Indoril and Ordinator
>>744970196What a wonderous encounter! Welcome!
I like the clothes TR added. Quite fashionable.
>>744970968Go check out those ruins
>>744968648same, shit is ridiculousthey put in the full armor set of the "savior's hide" armor from vanilla (as in, there's a vanilla chest piece, and they added pauldrons, gloves, boots, helm, and greaves) and after getting one piece blind I thought to myself there is absolutely no chance I will find more than a couple of those pieces scattered across mainland Morrowind if I played this for a year.
I just bought a steam deck. As a pc noob I was wondering can I download these community patches and improvements? Thanks. Btw never played it will be first play through.
>>744968648I always use this mod with TR for that reason.https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/50262Having that much stuff to do means you have to level more slowly or you outscale too fast
>>744968648Yeah, I played TR for the first time last year with the intention to become the head of the mages guild and Telvanni, and after 100 hours I only achieved the mages guild before deciding that character was done. It's colossal.
The political map
>>744972408What's going on with Kevalla?
>>744960465Gonna be playing a poison-blade redguard when it comes out. I wanted to try out that new poisoning weapons mods I found. Even at the most basic level a paralysis poison sounds pretty neat.
>>744963069Blocking is ok. It's not broken or anything because it caps at 50% chance but the damage reduction is overall significant.
>>744971745Thanks for the link, anon. This looks right up my alley.
>>744972589Some Yokudan offshoot distinct from the Redguards
>>744971557Sure I don't see why not. They are basically files you paste into your installation folder.
>>744972408Didn't they do away with the numidium scar in Summerset? (not that summerset is real yet anyway)
>>744960465I haven't even played TR, so I'm probably gonna maximize the quests I can do on one character by making a dunmer nightblade in hlaalu/TG/MG/Temple, then mostly focus on side quests in the new areas.
>>744960465Every time
>>744973052I can't relate for me it's >new TR update drops>check for new mods, update existing mod list with a few new things>make new character>play for 500 billion hours>have fun>update when
>>744972408>redoran are the great warriors and protectors of Morrowind>let an *rc pustule fester in their own territorysomething doesn't add up
>>744973648Dunmer are pretty meh warriors. They're generally pretty mediocre at everything, literally humans of TES
So what's the idea of Tamriel Rebuilt? Is it just Morrowind but you can visit other places? I guess it's placed in 3E
What's the mod that adds volumetric fog in the distance they sometimes use for screenshots in Tamriel Rebuilt? It looks really good.
>>744974749kek
>>744974749
>>744974615Tamriel Rebuilt is confusingly enough just about making mainland Morrowind. Project Tamriel adds the other provinces. Mostly focused on implementing them in a TES3/PGE1 style of worldbuilding.>>744974749Probably OpenMW's volumetric fog shader?
>>744974615Tamriel Rebuilt is the mainland of Morrowind built based on the lore of the Morrowind era ignoring Oblivion, Skyrim, ESO, and all that modern crap. It's already bigger than any Bethesda game both in terms of size and the number of quests and content, and the quality is top-notch.Project Tamriel is an umbrella project that includes projects adding all the other provinces such as Cyrodiil and Skyrim. They all work together with TR having overlapping quests and assets.The main appeal of this is that it’s the very same TES that people fell in love with back in the days of Morrowind, back when Cyrodiil was still a bunch of Romans living in the jungle.>>744974749https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/50517This one maybe? I use it at least
>>744974749Either MGE's distant land or OpenMW's volumetric fog shader.
>>744975427>it’s the very same TES that people fell in love with back in the days of Morrowind, back when Cyrodiil was still a bunch of Romans living in the jungle.so the 1% of the tes fandom that has tried incessantly to psyop everyone into thinking morrowind is the only good tes and the only lore that matters
>>744960465>Poison Song, is dropping here soonCome back when it's released
>>744975820Well, that 1% is far more successful at creating what they want. Watching how Skyrim mods are developed is just depressing compared to Morrowind ones. So much arguing and whining, and so few results.
>>744975820>morrowind is the only good tes and the only lore that mattersWell, it's a Morrowind mod, so in their case yes
>>744975894Next week most likely
>>744975894Morrowind YouTubers recently got early access, so it's safe to say that the wait is almost over.
>15 minutes of TR and PT being the highlight of the showcase
>>744973052no I just play it
>>744976257They're planning poison song to release that day, which of course mogs all the rest which are just endless teasers
>>744976370Don't worry, BS will release some kind of teaser for a mod like armor or a shovel.
shit what should I play for poison song, are hlaalu done now? I did a bit of them but didn't finish their narsis stuff, might do a mace wielding businessman scumbag drug addict
Anyone used Skill Evolution before? If so, how was it?https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/57802
>>744976137read the post again
>>744976562Hlaalu have complete main quest but there will be one more update that adds a piece of their territory that is currently missing. Poison Song is about Indoril so I'm going to join them.
I still need to finish the Fighter's Guild questline...
>>744976257>>744976370It's even worse because there's going to be a Modathon on the same days
>>744975659>OpenMW's volumetric fog shader.is that enabled by default?
>>744978574For me at least no shaders were enabled by default.
>>744978747He's too powerful.
I tried tamriel rebuilt once but got really urned off by the mages guild in old ebonheart,Whole city looked way too overdesigned as well, felt completely disconnected from vanilla morrowind design.
any UI recommendations for openmw?these fuck ass scroll and font textures are hideous
>>744980318Here's my go to mod for that.https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/36873
>>744960465Damn nigga but I didn't finish playing grim yawn yet
>>744972908I hope so that shit belongs in WoW.
>>744980416Thanks anon
>>744981183No problem!
>>744966792pure vanilla? No Tribunal or Bloodmoon?
>>744960465oh, thank Azura. I was getting bored of playing Fallout, haven't done much of TR's Grasping Fortune release yet. So it'll be nice to have two releases to get through. When is this actually coming out, this year? Playtesting seems to be ''in progress.''
>>744960465I'll probably start another redguard character. I used to post in these threads looking for a set of golden hlaalu armor.
>>744981375Many are predicting that it's gonna be dropped on the Creation Mod Con, which is happening on the 22nd and 23rd. Some Morrowind YouTubers already have early access.
Oh wow this mod lets you travel far outside Vvardenfell I can't wait to discover all those wondrous fantastical loca- oh it's just more brown and gray wasteland. Yay...
>>744981810>oh it's just more brown and gray wastelandThat's just Morrowind in general. This mod adds almost twice the content of the original game.
>>744981552of.. this month? That's great! Maybe I'll even get back to modding Morrowind, it was intuitive. I think I contributed an eggmine years ago, not sure if it's still in the game.To answer the OP question, since Poison Song includes a volcanic mire.. I'll either make an 'expy' of Athellor as a cryomancer/necromancer, or make some Argonian shaman... but either way I'm going to cheese Enchant as I always do
>>744981810Then play PC or SHOTN if you want different biomes instead of Morrowind wasteland
>>744981810Othreleth is more seasonal/colorful
I demand they redo Telvannis.
>>744982045>of.. this month?Yes, this month. Get hyped. I'm ready to tackle the new expansion with my Khajiit Commoner. He's not much of a fighter, but he has a lot heart and a can do attitude.
>>744982076it's the same beige-green ground but with white stone and some palm trees
Will the OpenMW version of TR move to the custom spell effects that the MSWE version had now that 0.51 is released?
>>744981810Shipal-Shin literally looks more like that one New Vegas DLC than anything you see in Morrowind.>>744982187It's next in line.
>>744982310Move to?
>>744972408I still don't like how they beefed up High Rock to be bigger than Skyrim.
>>744981810That's bright orange tho
>>744982753yes, the openmw version of the mod lacked certain custom spell effects that mwse has
>>744982870I guess you are asking whether TR will implement them for openmw but your english is bad. The answer is idk lol probably
>>744983008I think you just have poor reading comprehension.
oh yes I forgot , I like to roleplay that I'm trapping foes' souls as I go. OAAB black soul gems are great, work pretty well. and you can release the soul to function like a summon (iirc)
>>744983095Thanks for letting me know. I've now got you at 50% retarded 50% esl. No judgement btw.
>>744983493You sound pretty upset, Rajesh.
>>744983616It is mildly upsetting that you think your little sentence makes any sense, yes. You have upset me with your bad english.
>>744981252I originally got the game from a Gamestop or EB Games, and it was the vanilla platinum hits version. I bought another copy ten years ago to relight the nostalgia. It just feels right.
>>744981810Must be crazy being legally blind.
>>744981810Obvious bait, but take my (You) anyway. Don't spend it all on one place.
>>744966792I remember renting it from Rogers Video for the Xbox with my brotherRented copy didn't come with the manual so we had no fucking idea what was going on, decided to attack Maurrie Aurmine, and got our ass kicked.Good times.
>>744981810Vgh... it's beavtifvl. If only Todd the Betrayer hadn't tarnished St. Kirkbride's perfect vision with T*lkienshit. Oblivion and Skyrim too could be brown and gray wastelands.
>>744985903Kirkbride and the other writers who worked on the PGE1 wanted Cyrodiil to be very very green though, and for Skyrim to be very very white.
>>744981810if the top left doesn't look like the tightest shit to you we can't be friends anymore peter
>>744960465No house dres no play>but racist and le badFuck you
>>744960465genuinely don't understand the point of all the extra content with how the level system works, you can max skills and become op before even finishing the base game. needs higher skill/level caps, slower xp gain, and higher level zones to compliment the expansion
>>744987392see>>744971745
>>744987392Maybe you'd enjoy making a challenging mod? Or even a showcase for TR.
>>744987392You could just, not level?
>>744963640any more people have experiences doing this? I need to start fresh anyway but the idea that everything I do is going to be irrelevant with the next TR update is always something nagging at the back of my mind
>>744987363Dres aren't joinable because the mod hasn't even gotten to their territory yet not because they're racist
Out into the open sea
>>744988209I like the idea of Dres being the house that still practices the most ancestor/daedra worship alongside their slavery business
>>744988149I saw that.
Never played TR before, should I just go straight to the mainland or will I be directed there at some point just questing naturally like I would in a normal playthrough?
>>744988843Some faction quests direct you there
>>744988843I'd say if you've played vanilla a lot that you just go to the mainland.
>>744988581This one'll be a huge boon for sailing mods if it's ever finished.
