Should I find my saves from two years back and try to finally finish the main quest and Redoran and FG and MG and Tribunal quests ;_;, or start completely new and mod my game to perfection over the course of a week or so?

>>375722724
How much did you explore in those saves? If they had no mods at all, I'd recommend starting from scratch. The MGE makes the game look real nice

Me too, but I will still call this one of my favorite games. It's not like I was busy doing all kinds of other shit that game has to offer. Tried the main quest once, but some of the early mission seemed boring.

>>375723621
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of the main quests are walk to the middle of nowhere and do some fetch quests for some asshole

>>375723282
I had a shitload of mods that worked great and stable, that's why I'm hesitant to start anew

I installed it today on my shitty campus PC, but smart as I am, I forgot to bring my savegame from home with me...

Whatever, looks like im gonna have to start anew then.
Is there ANY way to make a mage that regenerates magicka somehow?

No, I don't mean resting every 5 minutes or summoning sixty ghosts and getting them to fuel me through magic attacks and spell absorb. I also dont want any mods or shit like that.

All I want is a robe wearing, fragile mage type character that can levitate around and shoot fireballs. Any ideas on how to do that?

>>375722494
I never did either anon. No idea how many times I've started the game. Always get too caught up in my exploring or side quests. Going to start it again tonight and mess with alchemy

>>375724420
Play skyrim

>>375724449
Alchemy is the shit. I am playing the UESRPG as a Khajiit Alchemist and I'm having a blast brewing potions and looking for ingredients.

alchemy is cool and very easy to abuse which is kind of the point of it anyway.
It's important to be able to keep up your skooma supply too

>>375724420
There are mods for it,

>>375722494
Check out Open MW son

>>375722494

I install Morrowind once a year, and delete it as soon as I fight the fags in the cave near the boat.

literally the worst combat ever.

True story.

>>375725797
You don't play this game for the combat. I have no idea how anyone could play a pure fighter in this game, maybe for some crazy role-playing.

>>375722494
>Forgot that the game turned 15 years yesterday.
And the best thing about it is even on the most modern hardware you can install it off the CD and play it perfectly, exactly as it was intended at thirty FPS.

>>375727861
A Redoran with long blade and heavy armor can't be stopped.

Secrets...well...I still have no clue how to beat the very final part of Bloodmoon without either doing the usual OP spellcraft stuff or bringing 1000000000 repair hammers idk if it's supposed to be this tough where the werewolves can just destroy your armor in a couple hits or is there something obvious that I am missing

>>375725797
The combat's easier to appreciate once you realize that a lot of it is meant to be like an abstract of realistic combat in a way. If the game had super advanced animation tech and players could more visibly see people dodge/miss attacks, it would make it easier to grasp I feel.

>>375728148
It's still not a very interesting playstyle to me. Though I played night blades and swordmages that use magic for support and fought mostly with weapons. There was some variety with this.

>>375727861
I have no idea how anyone can play this game full stop. Not when Gothic 1/2 and Witcher 3 existexist.

>>375722494
I finished it only once.

And even then I changed my speed to 1000 during the go-to-X-at-the-other-side-of-the-world-and-no-stilt-rider-anyway-near-it quests.

Still GOAT of all time though

>>375729163
If you have the two intervention spells, and set Mark at the Ashlander camp northeast from Aldruhn, you got most places covered. Also if you understand the spellcrafting system, jump from one side to the other but levitate right when you're about to hit the floor.

>>375728148

>>375731674
Good for getting some early CON.

>>375729712
it means your stats are shit, your weapon is shit, and you have no energy
maybe if you took the time to play the game instead of shitposting you'd make it out of Seyda Neen after 15 years

>>375722494

Using chance for combat is the worst thing about Morrowind. They should be using a base amount of damage for a weapon that increases when you become more skilled. After all, if there's a 10% of hitting something, then it can be stated that roughly 1/10 hits should be successful. However because it's random number generated by a computer, the random chance will be far from perfect. See https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/can-a-computer-generate-a-truly-random-number/ Basically even if you're guaranteed a certain chance of something, there's also the chance that you will in fact not get the "right" chance (i.e. missing in combat more then you should be).
If a particular weapon can have a total potential of x damage, then at that level the damage should be .1x. This is optimal and goes around the shortcomings of using a random number generator on a computer, and the frustration it brings when it inevitably "lies". To summarize, dice roll combat is only suitable for pen and paper, where you can achieve truer randomness. In a digital world, one must forego that and instead apply a more realistic approach to combat.

why am I like this

>>375733829
Hahaha no that's not how statistics work
You have a 1 in 10 chance to hit, you click again, it resets to 1 in 10 because the chance has to stay constant so now because you attacked twice that means it's a 2 in 20 chance to hit, so still 10% just as before

>>375722724
>start completely new and mod my game to perfection
This. Mods make such a difference, honestly. It will probably fuck your game up to have anything script heavy applied to an existing savegame.

If I were you, from experience, I would dick around and apply all the mods you want over the course of a few days, not really committing to a play through, then when you're happy do a clean run and don't fuck with the load order.

And there's so much more than just the obvious guild quests, there's a bunch of hidden sub-guilds and groups with decent quest chains too.

>>375733820
THIS ANON IS RIGHT
----------------- IGNORE EVERYONE ELSE -----------------

>>375733829
Dice aren't any more truly random than an electronic RNG, you throw the dice and the energy of the throw along with how it collides with a surface produces a result

>>375733829
That doesn't make any sense from a realistic perspective though. The game's abstraction through real RPG mechanics is based on you, know being a noob with a weapon you never used in your life before. When you get 100% or near 100% hit chance, that means like in real life you're a true master of that weapon. What you're asking goes further into the realm of action and less into the realm of what an RPG represents (using abstractions like numbers based mechanics to represent actions rather than direct actions themselves.)

>mash left click, have no skill, miss a lot, sometimes hit and deplete the enemy health bar
vs
>mash left click, have no skill, do very little damage and slowly watch the health bar drain
There is no functional difference between these two systems, and the only reason to complain about the former is >B-BUT I HIT HIM, MOMMY I HIT HIM THE GAME'S CHEEEATIIIING

>>375733829
Never play Darkest Dungeon

>>375735126
Honestly I prefer the first because eventually you can take most down pretty quick as you keep going. In Oblivion the health sponges only get spongier.

>nobody as posted a roulette image in the last 4 Morrowind threads I've been in
please

>>375735634
that isn't really a consequence of the always doing at least 1 damage combat, as it is a failure to create an action rpg.
>oh god this is way too easy, just make the fights last longer

>>375722494
I've pretty much only finished the main quest, I'd say I did a lot of side quests but next to no faction quests. I was saving the Redoran quest line for after the main story but by the time I started it it turns out I'd accidentally finished one midway through the quest line so I couldn't advance through it. Lost all interest to play after that

far from perfect doesn't mean imperceivable from perfection. For fuck sake reality runs at 18.55 septillion FPS, which 30-300FPS and everything in between is exceedingly far from. You don't seem to mind though. Statistically speaking pseudo-rng in all but the most extreme circumstances is, especially these days with shit like mersienne twisters, effectively perfectly for these uses.

>>375733829
Also perfect RNG is a bad thing games. Fuck playing a game that could potentially roll me a million misses in a row despite being near impossible. Real life isn't that non-deterministic.

>>375737135
I wish you could buy such potions directly instead of having to make them. I don't want my character to use alchemy.

>>375738731
But alchemy is fun

>>375738731
Well now you're just being picky. Like I can understand if you don't want to rest for magicka from an rp perspective, and you don't necessarily want to use the atronach sign, but not even wanting to make your own potions comes across as lazy.

If you give me a minute there's a merchant I'm pretty sure sells absorb magicka scrolls but I don't want to tell you who it is. Not that that would be a particularly efficient way of maintaining your mana, I just want to prove you wrong.

>>375731674
I miss spears and halberds being part of the Series.

My Temple Knight in Skyrim feels boring with just a greatsword.

>>375739335
What the fuck? I just think that alchemy is an intellectual practice (it is governed by intelligence after all) and I want to roleplay a mundane magic user that has to use either sneak tactics or gold to succeed.

>>375738731
>>375739335
Yep, certain enchanters sell Scrolls of Manarape and one Telvanni enchanter has an infinite restocking supply.

Just make potions yourself though. It's cheaper, alchemy is a fun part of Morrowind and it fits the mage sorcerer character.

>>375733820

>must be a shill
What on God's green earth did you mean by this?

>>375739718
>I want to roleplay a mundane magic user that has to use either sneak tactics or gold to succeed.
Then use your sneak tactics and gold and deal with the fact that you won't have access to infinite mana (which you have access to by default because literally that's what resting is for).

It's fine to hamstring yourself a little with RP, but you're cutting your whole legs off here.

I only had one playtrough of Morrowind, but I've spent like 150 hours on it trying to do as much optional shit as I can with one character.

>>375739563
I feel like if you blend elements from Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim and add a good combat system you might just have the perfect fantasy game.

Make up your mind.

>I want to be a mundane sneaky mage that flies around shooting fireballs with regenerating mana but I don't want to make potions myself or spend excessive time resting or absorb mana from summoned ghost slaves

At a certain point you have to consider the fact that you might be trying to play the game wrong.

>>375740071
>>375740380
Holy fuck, I just want to occasionally cast spells that requires like 5 or 10 more magicka than what I have in total, damn. You faggots assume a lot of things and argue in extremes.

>>375740163
An Elder Scrolls game with a story and setting as interesting as Morrowind, as diverse a skill set as Morrowind and combat at a midpoint between Skyrim and Oblivion would be great. Doubt it will happen like.

how about having combat that isn't shit, instead
I'm not saying copy dark souls but, attacks from different weapons should be meaningfully different, with different ranges and swing arcs, attacks should require commitment, be avoidable and punishable, do enough damage that you want to avoid each single attack, and you shouldn't be able to attack with 0 stamina. Successfully blocking should actually block the damage, with lower skill increasing the amount of stamina lost, and losing all your stamina should result in a guard break that can be punished.

So basically copy Dark Souls. Fucking anything but just mashing attack against nameless bandit #41384 who's just mashing attack at you and you get to see whose health bar drains faster

Having Athletics as a major or minor skill is such a pain. You're always being nudged closer to leveling up even when you've barely trained your other skills that are governed by other attributes.

Create a directory called "am" in the meshes folder, and copy all of the .nif files into that folder, so you get ./meshes/am/*.nif

I finally got Wyre Mash to work because I forgot to download a python program that was needed, will the Mash just automatically get the mos to work with the installation tab? I feel stupid, I was able to use Wyre Bash and have a bunch of mods download and working in Oblivion yet I've been having trouble modding Morrowind.

Why do people talk like it takes days to find mods for Morrowind.

90 percent of what you need is in that one package installer, the other 10 percent can literally be found with ease now that Morrowind Nexus is a thing.

Manually editing shaders to your liking is quite possibly the most time consuming thing you could possibly do.

There's plenty of other shit that's retarded about what you said but this one is the most egregious.
Oblivion, Skyrim and Morrowind are all roughly similar sizes (with morrowind being a tiny bit smaller), yet there was less and less content with each game. The problem isn't with it being too spread out at all, it's with there just not being enough in the newer games. Making the world tiny so that there's LITERALLY SOMETHING AROUND EVERY CORNER just makes the world feel contrived and phoney. Putting more empty space between shit doesn't take much effort, and actually gives weight to the world.

This "I need to be around one of the game's six unique things every two seconds because I have the attention span of a newt" shit is obnoxious and needs to die.

>>375752060
I'm also new to the game and it seems to me that nearly all the quests are only available through guilds and factions. The only other form of quest I've seen is from random people along roads. Pretty disappointing but the game seems magnificent otherwise.

I would love a game where you're just in one city but it's retardedly detailed instead. An entire open world game in one city.

It's what I hoped Cyberpunk would be. Make it take place in a Kowloon Walled City type thing so you can justify the limitation. Make the outside hazardous somehow, maybe have small exploration bits outside the city just to get a sense of the scale, but it's mostly wasteland out there.

I want to see changes happen when you interact with the story too. Even if you have to remove factions to side with, just make it A side or B side, or even a set progression. But I want to see the city be flooded with beggars and thieves as you fuck up some supply lines. Or see the fascist banners and police patrols marching in the streets as you help someone to power.

Open world is so played out I really wish they did this instead.

Most quests in cities revolve around the various factions, but every city at least has a few miscellaneous quests. Vivec has a ton since it's so big.

I'm aware of that, I've probably played Morrowind for a total of 500 hours
I guess I'll dick around in my old saves for a bit to see if I can get my journal under control. If I can't I'll start a new game with a spellsword

Currently playing as a Nord businessman trying to buy up large tracts of land so I can run around as a werewolf with Hircine's Ring. Are there any houses you can legally obtain beyond the stronghold from your house and from the Bloodmoon expansion?

>>375752568
You should talk to shopowners and people just milling outside of particular buildings. There are at least 1-2 in every town.

I have never played the main quest of Morrowind past going to see Caius Cosades and I've been playing at least once a year since 2005. I guess I never want to play the prophesied hero character, there's far too many more interesting character types for me to play

What if there was a game set in a city that was actually the size of a city instead of a small town.

I tried playing it yesterday but I have such a hard time getting into it. I think it's just how the starting area doesn't have much to introduce you to anything.

The fluff that's added to the 'Chosen Hero' that fights the 'Awakened Ancient Evil' in Morrowind is pretty great. I'd recommend giving it's main quest a run at some point.

Why hasn't anyone made an RPG half as good as Morrowind in the last 15 years?

I meant more how it doesn't seem to give you anything to do. I don't mind figuring stuff out, but there's nothing to do in Seyda Neen other than murder a couple people to steal their stuff for money and then fuck off to the next town. And then when I get to the next town...there's still nothing to do.

>>375757876

New pleb to this OpenMW thing, what's the draw?

>>375758492
There are four short quests that start in Seyda Neen.

>>375758873
Really? Where? The only one I ever got was Fargoth's, everyone else just seems to be commoners repeating the same shit.

>>375758492
There's stuff to do, you just have to look for it.
It's all player driven. Imo that is where a lot of the immersion comes from.

It's open source so anyone can modify any aspect of the game that they want, they're not limited by the Construction Set like in the original Morrowind. So in theory someone could mod the combat in OpenMW to be like Mount and Blade. Also it's made to run on modern computers, with heavy modding Morrowind likes to crash every 30 minutes and runs at 20 FPS. OpenMW just doesn't have distant land yet, it's the only thing stopping me from completely switching over to it.

>>375759093
Someone in the storehouse want's to find Fargoth's hiding place, There is a corpse near the village in the wilderness, Someone in the village doesn't have the money but wants to get home.

Using the standard topics such as rumor, secret, advice, person and place can also point you different directions, not every interesting place or interesting item has a quest attached to it, and the places and people these topics lead you till can still lead to rewards.

>>375759834
>So in theory someone could mod the combat in OpenMW to be like Mount and Blade.

Well damn, can't see what modders will cook up with that kind of flexibility.

>not every interesting place or interesting item has a quest attached to it, and the places and people these topics lead you till can still lead to rewards.
This is the biggest thing that sets Morrowind apart from many other rpgs. Characters will mention things of interest, but you won't always get a *quest added* notification and a marker on your map. It's easy to overlook what characters are saying, but if you pay attention you can often get clues about where to find interesting things or places.

I was having this discussion with someone a while ago who was complaining about the thieves guild only having 'shitty fetch quests'. Well yeah, the thieves guild quests are pretty much all "go here, steal this, bring it back" but while you're in those locations you can always find more interesting and valuable stuff to steal than what's strictly required for the quest.

To properly enjoy Morrowind you have to be able to have your own fun and give yourself direction. The game is a sandbox really, with a framework of quests, factions and characters. If you see someone complain about a bandit cave nearby, you may not get a quest in your journal "I should go clear out that bandit cave because X will give me a reward", but if you go to that bandit cave you'll probably find some interesting stuff there.
