He's not wrong. TES games have always appealed to females more than other RPGs and his point about character customization makes sense as at least a part of the explanation. Is appealing to women a bad thing, though?

Never mind the melee combat, the entire magic system is godawful and fundamentally broken. it doesn't matter what cheesy spells you can craft when playing a regular mage is the most backwards retarded thing ever.

>>379417419
>ancestral spirit atronach and everything horrible that comes with it
But that's a choice, you're not forced to use it.
>sleeping forces a level up, fucking up your stats
That doesn't even make sense.
>the only ingredients in Vvardenfell that restore magicka are cromberries and atronach salts
Comberry is sold and quickly restocked by easy to access merchants in the Mages Guild.
>destruction requires a high magicka pool yet does not increase your intelligence
Destruction is governed by Willpower which is your ability to manifest and resist magic. Make sense to me.
>enchanting doesn't require magicka but increases your magicka pool
>enchanting makes all other schools of magic obsolete by offering spells of every school that can be easily recharged, recharge on their own and can't fail due to low stamina
Enchanting yourself is only really useful if you intentionally break the game, NPCs are otherwise the better choice.

>>379418509
>But that's a choice, you're not forced to use it.
Its the best way to play a mage because of the problems with regenerating magicka.
>That doesn't even make sense.
Do you know how leveling in Morrowind works? Sleeping forces you to level up so if you sleep to regenerate like intended then its very hard to get max attribute gains every level.
>Comberry is sold and quickly restocked by easy to access merchants in the Mages Guild.
You need two ingredients which share an effect to get a potion with that effect. Comberries alone do not give you a magicka potion, you need to combine them with salts which are not easy to come by.
>Destruction is governed by Willpower which is your ability to manifest and resist magic. Make sense to me.
From a flavor perspective, yes, but not from a gameplay perspective. Willpower governs your magicka resistance. Leveling up destruction demands greater levels of maximum magicka, which you get from intelligence. So playing the game normally, as intended, results in you gaining levels in an attribute that doesn't actually help you. You can increase your willpower but you won't be able to cast new spells.
>Enchanting yourself is only really useful if you intentionally break the game, NPCs are otherwise the better choice.
Its like you actually haven't played the game because you keep being wrong. Enchanting removes the reason to use any other school because it contains every spell effect within it. So if you want to cast a fireball, its actually better to not learn Destruction and instead just get a fireball enchanted ring. You don't get affected by fatigue so you can never fail a cast and your charges regenerate over time so you don't even need potions, just time, soul gems or an arsenal of enchanted rings you can swap out whenever one dries up. Your statement doesn't even make sense because it doesn't matter who does the enchanting, you using the enchanted item increases your enchanting skill.

>>379419313

And all those problems are why atronach/ancestral spirit combo is so popular. Atronach gives you the high base magicka pool to be effective and ancestral spirit allows you to regenerate your magicka without forcing a level up early. But the actual process of standing there for minutes at a time while your own spirit hits you and you pray that you don't resist the spell (which you will because you're leveling up Willpower) and then hope that the 50% chance kicks in so you can regenerate a 1/6th of your bar, is not fun. The alternative is other, equally cheesy shit or just not playing magic at all.

The system is so broken on so many levels that most people never get far enough in morrowind to see how bad it actually is. Which I'm assuming includes you as you're wrong and basically point you made.

People always complain about how Skyrim "dumbed down" the leveling system but its the best iteration of TES leveling to date. It's the only time when "do something to get better at it" actually worked properly and you weren't jumping through hoops to game the system, like not specializing in the weapon you want to use in order to make leveling up easier. Attributes were an abortion in Morrowind and what they governed and what they gave you made absolutely no sense. Lockpicking increasing your magicka pool, spears governing endurance, daggers governing movement speed, ect. Perk trees and just being able to allocate your stat increases directly was a huge, huge improvement.

>>379419313
You don't need to get max attribute gains every level.
Not even in a "fight the retarded system" way, Morrowind level scaling is very non-intrusive, you'll become eventually all-powerful even with suboptimal powerups.

You're right in that standard mages get shafted pretty hard in the vanilla game if you don't cheese the system though.

You don't need max attributes, but you're only going to be getting 1 attribute point instead of, what, 4, per level up. That adds up very quickly and it makes playing a mage a huge slog. Sleeping after every combat in order to regain Magicka means sleeping multiple times in a dungeon so you're leveling up almost immediately.

I'm tired of people whining about melee combat when its actually pretty decent for its time, while ignoring how poorly designed magic and leveling is in Morrowind.

>>379421347

Why lie to people? Hand-to-Hand isn't fun in Morrowind. You have to drain people's stamina and then stand over their crumpled bodies punching them until they die. It's only been good in Daggerfall if you abuse the fist of the north star glitch and in Oblivion.

I'd have to disagree with these.
There's no way to make Oblivion look nice, no amount of mods could save it.
Morrowind can at least look nice so long as you don't get distracted by the horrible landscape geometry.

Skyrim has the best atmosphere for me. The ambient noises interlaced with soothing nordic instrumentation was so comforting.
Oblivion was comfy as fuck too and morrowind was nice after you install something like Better Sounds to add ambient sounds.
Are there any mods to have morrowind's music come on only occasionally? It gets so tiring after a while.

>>379421934
>Sleeping after every combat in order to regain Magicka means sleeping multiple times in a dungeon so you're leveling up almost immediately.

Try it out yourself. Because of the near impossibility of crafting a decent stock of magicka potions you have to rely on resting for regenerations. Soon after you reach the level up threshold you'll be sleeping to regain magicka and you'll level up. The only way to avoid that is building your character in a way that doesn't make sense and knowing how to game the system.

Oh shit, guess you should have seen a trainer to level up a non-useable skill for your build 10 times, just so you can have one skill NOT in the shitter by level 30.

>>379422109

Also, training doesn't work when you're not playing with the cheesy ancestral spirit combo because you don't have the luxury of choosing when to level up. And if you are using ancestral spirit then you're using ancestral spirit which is a problem in of itself.

>>379422416
>The gold is used to make spells. Jesus Christ, has anyone actually tried to play a mage in Morrowind? Why do I have to keep correcting basic fucking game mechanics.
Nigger, the only spells worth buying are touch spells. They do more damage and cost less. If you're fast enough, which any overpowered character in this unbalanced shitfest will eventually be if they know anything about this game, then you'll just run circles around everything.

All you need is two spells, one you use all the time, and one you use when you run into something that resists the first.

>>379422443
>playing the game in 480p with 30 fps
Literally kill yourself

>>379422613
We're talking about mages.
Mages only have two relevant stats: intelligence and willpower, all magic skills (except illusion) are distributed amongst these two, if you've built your character to use magic to fight, you'll almost always end up accidentally with a +3/+2 in those attributes.

>>379414996

do you have this saved in a notepad?

same order every time

>>379422613
doesn't leveling up properly only matter in oblivion because of the retarded scaling? In morrowind you get a lot more leeway with stats

>>379422821
Then you're going to be slow as fuck, can't carry shit (I'll just waste half my juice on feather after every time I rest!), and can't get hit or you'll die.

>>379423349
Morrowind is far more dependent on stats than Oblivion. In fact, it's easier to beat Oblivion as a lvl 1 fighter than a lvl 30 fighter.

>>379423349
Pretty much, yes. Oblivion would be a decent game if it wasn't for the absolutely retarded level scaling. After my first playthrough and figuring out how shit that game was, I pretty much only built characters with major/minor skills I would never use.

>>379423658
>Then you're going to be slow as fuck, can't carry shit (I'll just waste half my juice on feather after every time I rest!), and can't get hit or you'll die.
It's almost like the concept of a mage is lost on you.

>>379422821

That's assuming you can choose when you level up. Again, regenerating magicka means losing control over when you level up. You could be in the middle of a dungeon, have no potions (because you ran out of salts) and have to rest in order to fight the golden saint in the distance. Either you level up right there or you leave the dungeon and go back to town to train.

And you're wrong again about stats. Mages have 3 "relevant" stats, Intelligence, Willpower and Luck (which determines your chance to fail a cast, another reason why enchanting is always better). The only attributes that directly affects your spell casting is intelligence and Luck. Luck can't be increased by more than 1 at a time and Intelligence only governs Alchemy, Conjuration, Enchant, and Security. So if you've built your character to fight using magic, you are increasing magic resist not your magicka pool. Alchemy can be used to power level Intelligence but even that is cheesy system abuse.

>>379423349

Yes and no. Gaining piddly sums of attributes just slows the game down. If you're playing a mage then you definitely want those increases in maximum magicka in order to cast bigger spells that don't fail or get resisted. Basically, melee in Morrowind is easy mode and as soon as you try magic you open up a can of bad game design.

>>379423662

Oblivion's dull world and copy pasted caves would still keep it in the shitter.

>>379422785
I've been trying for years to work up the courage.

>>379421575
Riften is in Skyrim though.

>>379423801

And again, I'm not saying that playing a mage is impossible in Morrowind, I'm saying that the game is fundamentally flawed and that whoever developed the magic system should be shot. It's bad game design after bad game design decision that is only alleviated through cheating the system. If you didn't google how to play the game beforehand you'd get absolutely fucked.

It's actually quite easy if you just forgo magic and focus on enchanting, but then there is the absolutely baffling decision to make it increase your magicka pool, a resource that you will never use.

>>379423793

Since when do mages have to be slow and can't carry shit? In most universes that isn't true and its doubly not true in the Elder Scrolls universe where descriptions of the Spellblade and Battlemage or actually, any class that uses magic, shows the opposite.

>>379424309
>If you didn't google how to play the game
Holy shit, what would millennials do without the internet?

Everyone who initially bought the game played it the way they wanted to without a "guide" and no doubt did just fine. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fuck up a character in Morrowind. The longer you play, the more ridiculously overpowered you get.

>>379424309
Since spellblades and battlemages are not mages, but hybrids with actual competences in combat skills, and the actual mage archetype is defined strictly by having zero physical skills, which means it'll be weak and slow.

>>379422975
A change is only needed the day I get proven wrong. Morrowind is a highly flawed game that is extremely overrated by others partly due to the reasons I have listed. Not a single one of these reminiscing posts will even vaguely mention what I have mentioned about the game.

>>379424672

People didn't play mages, which is clear from how much misinformation in this thread. And people did complain about it back then. Nothing I'm saying is new, people knew the game was broken back at release. Its only after Oblivion came out that Morrowind revisionists started to ignore all it's glaring flaws and call it a perfect game.

And again, I'm not saying its hard to play a mage. I'm saying that the game is poorly designed and being a pure mage shafts you in more ways than one. You've been wrong about basic game mechanics already as have other people, like that mongoloid who never crafted a single potion and thought that comberries alone can create a restore magicka potion so its pretty clear that your opinion doesn't matter. Everything you say is right about a melee character and wrong about mages.

Pure mages aren't slow in the game either. Read the books or look at NPCs like Jagar Tharn. Shit, unarmored is a magic skill and it governs speed so don't try and say that mages are supposed to be slow when the game intends them to be naturally faster than fighters and archers.

>Jagar Tharn
You mean a Battlemage? Stop confusing things, I'm strictly talking about the "mage" archetype as defined in the games.
>Shit, unarmored is a magic skill and it governs speed so don't try and say that mages are supposed to be slow when the game intends them to be naturally faster than fighters and archers.
You're the one that said that mages were slow, not me, if unarmored is indeed governed by speed then why did you say that to begin with?

It was also the home for the local Thieves Guild, a Mafia boss, a junkie and a homeless jewellery merchant while also hosting a temple of love and a pub famous for being where the first queen of morrowind got fucked unconscious by a khajiit's thorny cock.
I didn't find the other cities that interesting. You never had a reason to go to falkreath unless you wanted to find the dark brotherhood

>and you pray that you don't resist the spell (which you will because you're leveling up Willpower)
This is wrong: spells are absorbed BEFORE they are resisted. A Breton Atronach won't have a harder time absorbing spells than any other Atronach.

>Enchanting removes the reason to use any other school because it contains every spell effect within it.
I think Morrowind's enchanted items recharging on their own instead of requiring soul gems is stupid, so I agree with you there. Honestly if it were up to me I'd rather go back to Daggerfall's system where magic items cannot be repaired by any means and will eventually permanently break with any souls used to enchant them being released next to you ready for revenge. That said, it's worth noting that enchanting is extremely expensive and you have a hard limit on how powerful a spell you can create through it. Daedric Tower Shields are way too heavy to be lugging around everywhere, so realistically a high-level mage will be primarily be using their magicka to cast the spells that their exquisite rings can't handle, like summoning a Golden Saint for more than 40 seconds at a time or Commanding high-level targets. When it comes to endgame magery, my best use of enchanted items was just fortifying my stats to let me cast even more powerful stuff rather than casting them directly from the items.

As for the resting thing, I'm not sure why you make leveling up such a big deal. 2 or 3 points in a couple primary attributes is a GOOD level up. I think the Morrowind/Oblivion attribute system is retarded in a lot of ways, but getting less than 4 or 5 does not mean you fucked up, it just means you aren't intentionally min-maxing everything at all times. If you are in fact doing that, then there's no point in complaining about cheesing the game when that's your entire reason for playing in the first place.

The REAL problem with mages in Morrowind is how many reflecting enemies show up at high levels.

>so its pretty clear that your opinion doesn't matter.
Holy shit, that wasn't even me, kid. Fuck off, you bitter, butthurt, faggot.

Yeah man Riften is cool and shit but my point was this is a Morrowind thread.

>>379419313
>Its the best way to play a mage because of the problems with regenerating magicka.
In your opinion.
>Do you know how leveling in Morrowind works? Sleeping forces you to level up so if you sleep to regenerate like intended then its very hard to get max attribute gains every level.
>powergaming in a single player game
lmao
>You need two ingredients which share an effect to get a potion with that effect. Comberries alone do not give you a magicka potion, you need to combine them with salts which are not easy to come by.
I forgot to mention how easy Frost Salts are to come by. They are also sold and restocked by various people as early as Balmora.
>From a flavor perspective, yes, but not from a gameplay perspective. Willpower governs your magicka resistance. Leveling up destruction demands greater levels of maximum magicka, which you get from intelligence. So playing the game normally, as intended, results in you gaining levels in an attribute that doesn't actually help you. You can increase your willpower but you won't be able to cast new spells.
Willpower also decides how successful you are when casting a spells. You might want to play Morrowind sometime.
>Its like you actually haven't played the game because you keep being wrong. Enchanting removes the reason to use any other school because it contains every spell effect within it.[...] Your statement doesn't even make sense because it doesn't matter who does the enchanting, you using the enchanted item increases your enchanting skill.
Play the game some time anon. Like I said you have to intentionally break the game to make useful enchantments yourself. Your chance of failure is huge otherwise compared to NPCs.

Shut the fuck about your fucking prehistoric outdated piece of shit game.

>You mean a Battlemage? Stop confusing things, I'm strictly talking about the "mage" archetype as defined in the games.

In practice, there is no difference in the TES setting. You're confusing different universes for TES. The mage archetype includes all the subsections in TES. Jagar Tharn isn't just an battle mage, he's the imperial battlemage and his position is akin to archetypical advisor mages in other settings. And because of how magic works in Tamriel, pure mages are not that common.

>You're the one that said that mages were slow, not me, if unarmored is indeed governed by speed then why did you say that to begin with?

Because I'm not, dumbass. I'm saying that mages aren't supposed to be slow.

>> if unarmored is indeed governed by speed
>if
It's not an if, it is. Why are you even posting if you've never played Morrowind?

>>379426364
>As for the resting thing, I'm not sure why you make leveling up such a big deal. 2 or 3 points in a couple primary attributes is a GOOD level up.

Sure, 2-3 is fine. But resting after combat means you'll be getting 1s more often than not. And its not like other attributes like speed, endurance, strength or even personality should be neglected. Unless you've beelined for the boots of blinding speed, you're going to want to increase other attributes as well.

>The REAL problem with mages in Morrowind is how many reflecting enemies show up at high levels.

There one problem. It all adds up to a shitpile of game design.

Sure you aren't talking about yourself, kiddo? If you're not that guy then why get mad? It's an anonymous board, mistakes happen. No need to get angry. Unless that was you.

Illusion for most pragmatic magic such as calm and chameleon, with favorite spells being Mark and Recall.

But there literally, practically is. There's a mage class and a battlemage class, they're different.

Morrowind co-op is bae

>The only attributes that directly affects your spell casting is intelligence and Luck
Completely wrong. Intelligence effects your magicka which only matters if you don't have enough to cast in the first place. Willpower on the other hand is the attribute that influences your chance to cast all spells, and (as in most of Morrowind's attribute-influenced mechanics) is twice as effective as Luck in that regard.

>Sure, 2-3 is fine. But resting after combat means you'll be getting 1s more often than not.
Wait, what? How in the hell are you getting 1s? You'd have to gain 10 skill levels among your major/minors without using a single skill governed by any of your three chosen attributes for that to happen.

I love when people try to shit on a game without understanding even the most basic mechanics, and I really love the irony when they condescendingly accuse others of the same to dismiss their opinions. Just like the guy who posted >>379414996 who had a similar attitude in his first thread before it was revealed that he didn't even know what persuasion does at all, how the calm spell worked, or that creatures and NPCs could be taken through doors and travel services.
