Reminder that this is all the work of one autist that is forcing Gothic and shitting on Morrowind.

>>383072270
There's a lot more wrong with that video than being level 1. It's the fact that he purposely picked (or made) a class with no expertise in Blunt Weapon, no specialization in Combat, no birthsign that might help hit like Lover or Warrior, and a race that has no bonus to blunt weapons. Then he decides to pick up a blunt weapon, run and jump until his fatigue is drained, and the end result is what you see there.

But the most significant problem with that webm is that even despite all that shit intentionally stacked against the character, it is actually the player who failed. Because his weapon is the Iron Warhammer which, like all warhammers, allows you to deliver a 1-damage light tap or up to a 28 damage swing based on how strongly you attack. Mudcrabs have 15 health. This means you only need to swing at about half strength to kill it in one hit - still quite fast compared to a fully charged attack. The player instead decides to spam 1-damage attacks as fast as possible which is not only why he fails to kill it despite hitting it three times with a weapon capable of one-shotting it, but it's also why his fatigue stays at the minimum value instead of regenerating slightly between swings.

TL;DR: git gud, you don't even need stats to beat a mudcrab as long as you're not a fucking retard.

>>383077680
Yes, you can do that in Morrowind. Be careful, though. If someone catches you transforming you'll be reported as a monster and permanently subject to the death penalty by all guards.

>>383077557
Yeah, but you need to know where it is. The black armor set is quite literally handed to you.

I mean hell, in Fallout 2 you can go straight to Navarro and get power armor mark 2 as the very first thing you do in the game. But you need to know where it is already.

>>383078673
It's been improved a lot lately. You need to get the "fixes" posted on the forums however, as the latest release on its own is really bad, missing fundamental features like cast-on-use enchantments and even going as far as removing all of the thrown weapons and crossbows. With the fixes a lot of these missing features and content is restored, but not all of it. In the end it's still inferior to vanilla Morrowind but if you're one of those people who absolutely cannot stand Morrowind but likes Oblivion for some ungodly reason, then Morroblivion is perfect for you and I'd highly recommend it.

Skyrim with a fuckload of mods is the best TES game. Morrowfags can f1t3 m3.

I'm going to argue that Morrowind is the superior RPG in TES because at least people still talk about the lore and stuff years after the game was released while Skyrim is literally only discussed on /vg as a waifu simulator. Sure, people are playing it, but like 90 percent of that is fucking around with mods to get the best ENB screenshots of characters that look like K-pop stars wearing armor from star craft or something. No one is really enjoying the parts Bethesda made.

Oh right, drain is the cheapest damaging spell but it's temporary unless fatal, right? So it's good for finishers or massive one-shot nukes. Not so great if you have summons between you and your target, however.

>>383078370
I was curious about Skywind, but I'm afraid it won't just be Skyrim level graphics in Morrowind, but the entire leveling, combat and magic system of Skyrim too. Part of why I liked Morrowind was the ability to create your own spells and enchant weapons with whatever the fuck you wanted.

>>383080182
It's cheap and allows you to make high-damage spells. Most enemies don't have more than 200-300 health, with a few powerful ones being only around 400. A drain health of, say, 100-300 1sec will kill pretty much anything you come across. For summons I usually get a 15sec duration of summon fucking everything, which because of its short duration is cheap and allows for even some of the stronger summons, and is often enough to soften up tougher enemies into my drain health range if they weren't already.

>>383080191
I do think Skyrim's classless system fits TES more however. I even like how all skills level you, so that if you improve a lot of non-combat stats then you're actually weaker than someone who improved a lot of combat stats, unlike Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion where you can do that for "free" as long as they're not a part of your class description. Plus every skill DOES help you deal with enemies in some way. Smithing/Alchemy/Enchanting obviously give you stronger equipment and buffs, speech allows you to get better deals to stockpile stronger items and avoid combat in quests occasionally, and so on.

Ironically Skyrim's system has more in common with Gothic now that I think about it, since you develop your class as you play instead of deciding it all at the very beginning.

>>383080784
The best thing to do is join House Telvanni and rank up enough to start the stronghold questline. Once your enchanter sets up shop in your personal little mushroom settlement she actually carries a restocking Supreme Domination scroll, so as long as you've got enough money (making and selling potions is an easy way to do this) you can stockpile them to mind control almost everything for a full 30 seconds. Actually casting such a powerful spell is a tall order, and especially not as rapidly as the scroll can. And it's a ranged spell so no need to sneak up on your targets either. Just mind control half of any group of enemies and let them kill each other, or use it as an alternative to Calm Humanoid to make use of the services of otherwise hostile NPCs.

Tribunal really was the harbinger of the decline, now that I think about it. It mostly takes place in an instanced city where you're not allowed to levitate and then they added the odd level scaling enemy as a preview of what's to come.

Level scaling and random generation for loot is crap, If you're fighting bandits you should generally be getting bandit tier loot and such but I don't really see a problem with level scaling for enemies found in certain dungeons or in the overworld up to a limit for certain archetypes. At a certain point even the toughest bandit lords should be bitches compared to your hero.

Elder Scrolls really needs to bring back movement enhancing alteration though. The lack of that bothers me. Can't even get water walking. It's pitiful.

>>383083050
Yeah I hate people who reduce a story down to the bare plot. Like no shit it sounds generic, the plot is the least important thing in a story.

>>383083217
Yep. In fact Morrowind might be the best example of this because all of its complexity and intrigue is revealed in the side content, factions, dialogue, and books that aren't necessary for the main quest. If you just follow the main quest and aren't investigating to sate your own curiosity then it's just another generic "chosen one defeats ancient evil" story, all the way down to the bad guy waiting in the center of a volcano.

Because it's real-time 1st-person combat. If you swing a sword at it looks like it hit thee enemy, people expect it to hit the enemy. Mount & Blade is probably the ideal system for combat in this kind of game(not saying M&B is perfect, but the style of combat it strives for is where 1st-person RPG's should generally aim for as well)

Reading this thread, I realize that I never tried a caster run, I always went into combat swinging my sword and ballsack around. How to caster?

And for that matter, I was never a sneaky stabby dick thief. Medium armor, short blades, sneak, etc.?

I know people shitting on morrowind on /v/ are b8 but the people that are actually too stupid for morrowind make me so angry. This is who they made skyrim for.

>>383085197
Doing those things doesn't make the combat good. Its still nothing but standing next to someone and continually holding/releasing the mouse until one of you dies. It's completely unengaging.

>>383085197
I think Morrowind is the best ES, far better than Skyrim which is about as boring as a game can be. But saying Skyrim is for people too barbaric to comprehend Morrowind makes the whole community look like shit.

Tbqh they shouldn't even be discussed in tandem.

>>383084975
I think Morrowind is great for caster. Just like I think Oblivion is great for sword wielding. I think Skyrim kind of forces players to become a sneak archer.

If you want to do a pure caster in Morrowind choose either a High Elf or Breton depending on which stats you like better. A High Elf will have weakness to frost, fire and magic, but 150% bonus with magicka. Breton will have 50% more magicka, yet no weaknesses and even resist a little magic. Also Breton will have a good skill set for destruction that High Elf doesn't have.

For your sign you have Mage, Apprentice, or Atronach. The Mage just gives you a standard extra boost to magicka. Apprentice does the same with a little more, but you now have a weakness to it, and Atronach gives you a 200% boost but you can't restore by resting and can only absorb spells cast at you, or by drinking potions.

So if you want to be a top fucking wizard go High Elf with Atronach birthsign. If you want to play it more safe go with Breton with a Mage sign.

Mocking Morrowind's combat is fun.

what if I wanna rp as a dunmer

>Because it's real-time 1st-person combat
As a person who was big into WoW at the time I started playing it, along with having played a ton of CRPGs like Neverwinter and Icewind Dale I really didn't have a problem with it. At the time of release I can't imagine people had much of an issue with it, CRPGs and such with the heavy stat based combat and the roll to hit/dodge mechanic was more widely used back then, of course if you come at it after playing games like Mount & Blade, or Dark Messiah or even Oblivion, you're going to get something other than what you expected. Like any game, you learn mechanics as you play and come to accept and get used to them, I'm not sure why Morrowind would be any different. Are these the same people who don't like the combat in the first Witcher?

WoW does the same thing, enemies can even hit the air with melee weapons from vast distances and you'll still take damage if you have agro. That's not bad design, it works with how the game plays mechanically. I think people should learn to treat games as games and treat the mechanics of each separately.

Morrowind has the best combat in the TES series, you're a nigger if you think otherwise.

>>383086487
No problem, but I think it's kind of a waste of stats. Unless you want to do like a Spell Sword, casting and destruction. Also use Light Armor instead of robes.

>>383086545
The combat from the first witcher IS often criticized when people talk about that game due to it being fairly janky. Morrowind's combat is just boring though. Even early WoW at least put the basic melee attacks on auto and gave you control of your heroes abilities and the focus is just as much on how you and your group work together to kill things fast. In Morrowind all combat is or ever will be is swinging repeatedly until someone dies, one at a time, until you finish the dungeon.

It isn't a players obligation to tolerate boring or broken combat mechanics. If the players isn't having fun with the main part of the game why the heck should they force themselves to keep playing until they abuse themselves into tolerating it?

>>383086545
There is a substantial demographic of people who are to young to have played most of those old games when they were new, but who eventually get around to playing the ones with a lot of hype such as e.g. Morrowind. These are the people who complain about the combat. I don't really blame them; I had a rough time getting into Daggerfall when I first discovered DOSBox

>>383087640
This is what I always say when a Morrowind thread comes up. It's always people that played Oblivion or Skyrim before Morrowind and then go back 15 years after the game came out and bitch about it.

Most people aren't going to like it if they go and try to play it right now if they never played it when it first came out. This is why I don't bitch about Daggerfall, I never played it back then but I don't like it when I try to play it.

>>383086783
i don't mind the combat, but i do use 2 mods
-remove the magic cast stance. you can use magic when you have a hand free.
-manual blocking

this makes it a lot easier to adjust when you still play the later elder scrolls games

>>383088029
>it's old so you can't criticise it
Nostalgiafags, everyone.

>>383071840
>that's every quest in every RPG and every game ever

This is what Morrowfags actually think. That's hilarious.

Over a decade later, and people still defend an direct-action RPG implementing shitty diceroll combat without visual imput. Amazing.

I completely get it man, but people do tend to go into Morrowind expecting something else and being disappointed because of that, that's my my main point. If the combat isn't your thing, that's fine. I'm just saying people should judge it on what it is, not on what they want it to be.

>>383087640
I haven't gone back to play Daggerfall, is it a pain to get working on modern systems? That's the main reason I never downloaded it.

>>383088185
I don't know what point you're trying to make. I pretty much said it was a nostalgia thing you fucking idiot.

Hi guys, my name is Keejar-Eev (that means "Kills-Many-Elves" in Cyrodilic!) and I've seen on here lately many people referring to this area (circled in yellow) as 'Southern Morrowind'. This is very offensive to me, as it has been part of my country for almost 200 years, and so I would like to ask that you call it by it's proper name of Northern Argonia, to avoid upsetting and/or confusing people. Thank you!

This thread, my face.

>>383089051
There are now versions of Daggerfall that come prepackaged with a DOSBox rig spec'd for modern computers. Just download it, follow the instructions, and play. I haven't done this myself in a while, so I can't point you to any specific version, but they should be easy to find. You might even try /vr/ to see if they have a relevant thread.

It's going to crash a bit on any system. Daggerfall was always unstable. If you can set up Dosbox games it should be easy enough for you.

>>383089271
If you take a look at most of this board, it's pretty pathetic.

>>383088185

If you go out of your way to intentionally misrepresent their argument, sure.

I don't think you can criticize a game for being a product of its time.

>>383085518
I think the combat is good in morrowind. It favours strategy over reflexes and every fight turns out different. I would much rather manage my equipment spells and alchemy over a bad arpg attempt like skyrim.

>>383089051
The thing is that Morrowinds harsher judgement, especially now with Gothicfag posting, is pretty much a direct reaction to how Morrowind veterans act every time a new Elder Scrolls game comes out. Its always about going on and on about how amazing magic in Morrowind feels which for some reason always turns into some folks saying Morrowind is objectively better in most regards.

Is the combat skill based or just numbers based?
Can I kill any enemy so long as I position myself well and exploit the weaknesses the developers designed them to have?

>>383090630
No. Even with ok stats you'll find yourself sometimes just getting bad strings of misses where you get fucked on if you aren't exploiting alchemy/enchanting to break the game.
There's virtually no skill to Morrowind combat. I don't even dislike it, that's just how it is.

>>383090630
That's why people are bitching about the combat system. If you have a low skill in a weapon and pick it up, you'll swing and miss a bunch of times.

Those aren't bonuses when Morrowind was marketed as an Action RPG on its release. I'm not aware of which strategy you're talking about beyond the old fashioned RPG chore of seeing how many potions you can jam in your bag before your leave town.

Aside from magic Skyrim is far and away the much better Action RPG when it comes to combat.

>>383090630
That's a really vague question imo. The reason I really enjoyed my morrowind playthrough recently was just how many options you had towards combat. You could cast a 500 point levitate spell on someone and then watch them fall to their death, drain all their stats so they're a punching bag, be a cunt with a spear and stay just out of range of melee, make crazy damage spells with every element and a bunch of other crap. So to round about your question you can win based on skill in a sense with critical thinking and imagination. You're still reliant on rolls through early to mid game but you can kite and get out of range or dodge spells as well.
