Why is it so boring and dry and slow-paced? Why didn't they actually make interesting and unique NPCs and fun quests with player agency instead of just flooding the game with huge empty landscapes, copy-pasted interiors, and generic NPCs that are basically walking glossaries, regurgitating the same drivel verbatim as dozens of other NPCs in the game?Also the journal system in vanilla/XboxGotY version is absolutely fucking abysmal. You basically have to write your own notes because good luck flipping through hundreds of pages to find information about a quest just to find your character didn't even write down the relevant information about where to go or what you need to do. No way to view active quests, no way to view completed quests, no way to remove/archive journal entries.

Where is the cave with the Telvanni agents that are stealing ebony from Caldera mine?? Fighters guild in Balmora told me to go kill them but I can't find them.
>>12187451It's in the caldera ebony mine
>>12187463It says it's in the hills to the south
>>12187415>why doesn't the game just hold my hand Kys
>>12187415impressive to get filtered by one of the most casual rpgs out there
>>12187490Take the road from caldera to the mines
>>12187415>Why is it so boring and dry and slow-paced?because they made it for me
>>12187504Yeah, love Morrowind and other Elder Scrolls stuff but it's no Gothic 1 or 2. Those will really ballbust anyone having trouble with MW.
>>12187423>>12187428>>12187493Fucking retards
>>12187698KEK I'm not the retard who got filtered by fucking Morrowind of all games.
>>12187423>>12187428>>12187493>>12187504>>12187738No one is filtered retards, it's one of the easiest RPGs in existence beyond the confusion of the first hour where your character is a complete useless retard who can't even hit a peasant cowering in front of him with a sword. And after like 10 hours, you are basically invincible and can bruteforce through even lategame shit with little issues, and this is even without breaking the game in numerous ways (in which case you become god like 10 mins in).The lack of direction would be a lot more respectable if the quests weren't such braindead fetch quests. The game is overly handholdy where it doesn't need to be, just to be needlessly obtuse in other areas. Like sometimes quest givers will mention an NPC for a quest but won't even mention a town or location for where they are at, despite having 30 different irrelevant glossary options, or in other quests you are looking for a character in a town, but you can't even select the dialogue option to ask about it to any NPC in town outside of the very building that character is already in (at which point you've already fucking found them). Or in other quests looking for some tiny hole in the wall cave or crypt in the giant foggy bowl of shit overworld, with a tiny local map with no adjustable zoom that takes forever to scroll. It's just boring fetch quests with no agency and no branching paths, but they try to make it as tedious and annoying as possible. And the journal is completely inexcusable. It's not "le filtered!!" to call the journal out as a poorly organized, near useless sack of shit. By halfway through the game, it's several hundred pages long, quests are all split up across various pages as it's all chronological with no way to sort or organize it, and half the time your character doesn't even fucking write critical info for the quest. The GotY version for PC fixes this somewhat, but vanilla PC and all Xbox versions have the near worthless journal.
>>12187818The game would be miles better if they didn't go for quantity over quality. They should have made the map and number of towns/areas smaller, and made NPCs and quests more interesting and unique with actual player choice, freedom, and branching paths. Also combat sucks ass obviously
>OP played the Shitbox version and is the same zoomer spamming Shitbox threads
>>12187818>Like sometimes quest givers will mention an NPC for a quest but won't even mention a town or location for where they are atName one (1) quest
>>12187830I don't even know the quest names but it just happened to me two days ago
>>12187836no specific example? I'm shocked
>>12187839It's like every quest almost where something is inconsistent or nonsensical, try playing the game
>>12187839Pretty sure it was some dude you meet in the bar in Aldruhn, but not 100%. Literally no one had dialogue options for him until I got to the bar then everyone had it
>>12187889>>12187894I'd like to read to quest text on the morrowind wiki please. Since this is so common of a problem I'm sure you can give clear examples of it.
>>12187818>maldingZoom zoom got filtered!
>>12187982I don't use the wikia you retarded fucking zoomer
>>12188061I will if you just give me the quest name.
>>12188072The game doesn't give quest names you stupid fucking zoomer retard
>>12188116it does with tribunal on pc you stupid fucking autogerontophiliac retard
>>12187415you lost, morrowind won long before you were even born and you not getting it is an indictment against you not the game.
>>12187894>Pretty sure it was some dude you meet in the bar in AldruhnDo you recall which one? The Ald Skar Inn, Rat In The Pot, or even the Council Club?
>>12188140>plays Morrowind GotY on PC with a dozen "QoL" mods>hurr durr I don't get your complaints!Fuck off zoomer shitstain
>>12188204>>with a dozen "QoL" modsIt's still present on GOTY without them, something you'd be exposed to if you weren't adamant about consolefagging the original MW disc.But that just means we have to put in slightly more effort on our part, so which of these bars had the quest? >>12188151
>>12188204may the sega system nigger rape you in your sleep
>>12188224Xbox GotY doesn't
>>12188236your port is shit and nobody cares
>>12188236Yeup, so third time's the charm here, anon: Which bar was it in Aldruhn? Do you not even remember that?
>>12188239It's a console game, retard
>>12187575Yet no one remembers those games.
>>12188287Neither made it to the Xbox.
Morrowind is heavily flawed. I don't get why rpg fanboys get so gay about sacred cows. The open secret is that morrowind isn't nearly as dynamic and put together as people want to pretend. Most of its praise is from a game that players imagined they were playing instead while they played this one. I still love morrowind though
>>12187575>make valid complaints about a pisseasy RPG because you're playing the original game without a dozen zoomer mods>"""having trouble"""Die slow and painful you fucking subhuman
>it's not good because... it's just not, okay?!?less buzzwords, more discussion of what is bad and not put together, zoom zoom.
>>12188313>make valid complaints about a pisseasy RPG because you're playing the original game on the shitty console port in 202XYou brought this on yourself, idiot. And in spite of the concerns it still did crazy well on the Xbox.Still waiting on which bar it was.
If I were to criticize something about this game is that going back and forth, especially the ashlander camps, is a fucking slog if you're not a magic user. At least the game provides you with levitation pants and uh... BoBS if you go out of your way to find them like I did
>>12189368not using magic in tes is like not using magic in runescape
>>12187549I still didn't find it and I'm playing with Morrowind Expanded mod list so the mine area is much larger and blocked by gates.If anyone slept on OpenMorrowind and Morrowind Expanded, I can't recommend that stuff enough, it's great, the amount of lore-friendly new quests is amazing, I can't finish a single vanilla quest without being side tracked by some other modlist quest I got along the way. Blades quests are especially fun so far.
>>12189371Using magic in tes is lame and a gateway into fagbride "guys WHAT IF the dude in the game KNEW he was in the game SO CRAZY"
>>12187415Morrowind is an action game. You're just playing it wrong.Learning spells and having INT and WIL is overrated. What you PLAY is an Orc. What you WANT is STR and AGI. What you NEED is 100 Acrobatics and 100 Long Blade. What you DO is go to quest locations and murder everyone with your sword, they will all die super easy because they balanced this game around you wasting your time leveling non-combat skills. Then you SELL all the shit you stole and BUY scrolls for all the spells you can't cast. You CARRY these spells with your high encumbrance from all that STR you took.This is how you develop "agency" for your character. By having him whoop everybody's ass until you have to go beg some fat cripple in a cave to let you finish the main quest.
>>12189371That's stupid. They could've buffed the Athletics and Heavy Armor skills to influence your movement speed more, or something. Did they not expect players to role-play as warriors without turning them into turtles?At least it's not like Daggerfall where magic is absolutely necessary and not just for convenience
>>12189371And besides I don't think I should always have to rely on exploits/prior knowledge to have a good timeDon't get me wrong I play the game vanilla, I'm just saying I don't like making a beeline for the BoBS for every non-magic, non-beastfolk(lmao) playthrough just to run at a decent pace as a warrior that SHOULD be quick on his feet with heavy armor through strength and skill
>>12189392tes games are not roleplaying games fyi
>>12189410there's not much roleplaying leeway when all tes games have an obvious win condition of maxxing out all stats and becoming a megaenchanted and nuke casting demigod for every starting character sheet. pre-cu star wars galaxies was a roleplaying game
>>12189410At least not DF and MW (I haven't really played Arena seriously)Ironic how Oblivion and Skyrim gutted magic but made non-magic classes less... crippling
>>12189412What does that have to do with roleplaying?
>>12189375Is there a method for converting original MW saves to OpenMW?
>>12188268Which retarded teenager YouTuber convinced you of this? The only people who played Morrowind on comsole quickly realized it was a dog shit way of playing and got it on PC. Oblivion was the first ES game truly tailored for consoles, and that's perhaps one of the big reasons what it's dog vomit slime mold
>>12189542It's the same game on console and PC
>>12189470I don't know. There's so much new content it's best to make a non-magic char and get lost in the world so you just walk around and do stuff instead of 'tisming about ingredients and x5 to attributes.They got parts of Cyrodiil (at least 3 towns) in there too, I've only been to Anvil so far but it's great, better/richer in content than Oblivion. >>12189412The win condition is to have fun.
