The tribunal, Dagoth Ur, and Azura were all letdowns when you finally meet them after reading all the esoteric mythic stories about them in the game's books. In the stories they are weird and tragic figures whose actions are larger than life and still reverberate through history thousands of years later. Then you meet them and they have generic video game character dialogue.

Morrowind Overhaul if you really want a more modern experience. Always hit if you're a scrub.

Otherwise just take OpenMorrowind.

>>383641435
There are hundreds of mods that certainly improve the game but there aren't many "essential" ones.
Morrowind Code Patch and MGE XE come to mind, as well as any other unofficial patches and graphic overhauls.

I'm currently playing with a shitload of mods but the major ones I would recommend are "LGNPC", "Sotha Sil Expanded", "Starfire's NPC Additions", "Main Quest Enhancer" and "Fligg's Slave Mod".
Don't forget the official Bethesda plug-ins.

Felt like a lot of busywork, like they focused entirely on the Duty aspect of the house motto, and not as much on gravity and piety. Also just one instance of beating a guy up for insulting the house's honour.

They all have their own fun niche depending on what you play. For my personal "perfect" Nerevarine I usually go Redoran as a spear-toting spellsword-type dunmer. Hlaalu on the other hand is perfect as any kind of non-dunmer Outlander and is the house I support whenever I play as an imperial agent of the emperor.

Would've been cool to see House Dres have some kind of presence since they're a big deal, but their holdings are all on the mainland, so it wouldn't really have worked.

ESO is ironically more polished than any of the mainline games and for the most part handles the lore better than Skyrim did, the only really iffy things ESO does are the whole Molag Bal invasion faction war plotline, and the presence and portrayal of the Maormer

The end of ESO's main questline where you fight through Coldharbour with the help of your allies and Meridia's army and defeat Molag Bal himself and save the world was far better implemented and more climactic than any of the mainline games' final battles

Sixth House is if you want an evil playthrough. Great House Dagoth is for a more neutral playthrough, Dagoth Ur is no more evil than the Tribunal is good. Do not use both at once.

Both Houses have a huge stick up their ass that would prevent such alliance. And they wouldn't get along politically, Redoran is all about "muh honor" while Telvanni is all about fucking over your competition until you become the top wizard.
But I can see something like that happen one day, just leave the political and military part to Redoran while Telvanni can do their fucked up experiments and trade slaves and shit.

That's too bad. Why couldn't they stay friends?
>>
>>383648308
They were never friends to begin with. The Nords and the Chimer (later Dunmer) have always been enemies. And the Hist just doesn't give a shit about anyone.
They were allies during the Second Era, but definitely not friends.
>>
>>383648453
Have they tried talking it out and understanding each other? If they were allies once then they can surely become friends one day.
>>
>>383648829
Well, the Nords and Dunmer aren't on each other's throats anymore, as we see in the Fourth Era, but it will take some time until they can call each other "friends".
The Argonians still hate the Dunmer for hundreds of years of slavery, and won't forgive them anytime soon. With the An-Xileel leading Argonian politics they have become increasingly anti-Imperial and xenophobic, so an alliance is unlikely.
Ultimately, it doesn't really matter since the Hist still controls the Argonians, and they don't care for the rest of Tamriel.

The biggest most consistent bug is the music, which is fixed via console, the rest are easy enough provided you put it lower in your load order.

I don't think there was any kind of violent suppression or anything. Eventually they would just become a minority and die out.
Besides, I think most of it was in Hlaalu territory because of the Imperial influence, so when they died it died along with them.

I can't decide weather to play as a Dunmer or an Argonain in Morrowind. One one hand, a Dunmer is more appropriate, but the Nerevarine being an Argonian is wonderfully ironic.
>>
>>383653452
Playing as a sap-licker is alright as long as you're doing it ironically.
>>

I think it would be funny if the Nerevarine, savior of the Dunmer people, was a member of the same race that had been enslaved and abused by them for hundreds of years and would later invade and fuck the Dunmer up.

Wasn't that going to take place on the Moons? What is the lore regarding the moons and "space" around the time of Skyrim?

>people still don't understand what house Telvanni isn't about
House Telvanni has jack to do with politics or an important noble family.
House Telvanni is an organization that exists purely out of the desire of a bunch of wizards to be left alone to themselves.
The actual Telvanni family getting shanked by filthy lizards is absolutely irrelevant.
>>
>>383656365
Are the Reman colonies still a thing?
>>
>>383641156
Not even possible.

They're both too proud and powerful to ever concede to it. Telvanni have no desire to do anything but lord over what is theirs, acquire more shit, and fuck with magic. Ruling over all Morrowind takes too much work. Also they'd have to actually abide by laws and shit, and that is simply not their style.

Redoran on the other hand would have to actually do something about Telvanni being lawless slaver magocrat degenerates with no respect for the laws of reality itself, much less the laws of man or mer. And that's something even living gods weren't capable of.

They are, but they've no idea about any of the stuff on the surface. One of the questlines was going to be two towns that warred constantly with one another for the chance to enter a vault filled with Reman's cum and bear the next ruler of Tatterdemalion (but given that it's so long the cryogenically frozen sperm was damaged and any reman-heir was always a fucked up cripple). There was gonna be big swathes of it that you had to swim through before learning what it was.

That's a stretch, really. The Aldmer have always associated themselves with hawk/bird imagery to reflect Auri-El, even the Ayleids did that.

Awful combat that has zero depth to it without its already simplistic numbers.

Quests don't have anywhere near the variety in objectives that Oblivion and Skyrim do since Morrowind is so reliant on its stat based abstractions.

Morrowind has more NPCs than Oblivion and Skyrim combined, but they are all generic as fuck with 99% of dialogue options being the exact same. Variety is non-existent. Not having actual NPC schedules like every other TES game doesn't help either.

People praise this game's encouraging of exploring and understanding directions, yet it turns out to be tedious most of the time. I doubt any of you hardcore fans can tell me the names of all Foyadas and exactly where they are without looking it up on the internet first.

Morrowind has the worst dungeons in the series. They aren't the intricate labyrinths of the games before it, while nowhere near as fun to traverse as the modern game dungeons which may have more "straight" path, but each individual bit of a dungeon's far more open than boring/restricted. Also the Tribunal Sewers are the worst dungeons in the series.

The game's most lauded features are its custom magic and its freedom. It's magic system is very hampered by the combination of how clunky the inventory system is with constant pausing/unpausing and how awful the combat is. Both the magic and freedom are also pointless when the game itself has so few systems implemented in it in terms of how the rest of the game interacts with the player as a result of their actions.

Morrowind is the most overrated game on /v/ and possibly of all time. Get better taste.

How is this relevant at all? I probably can't tell you the name of every important place in my city and I lived here my entire life, doesn't mean I can't get around if someone gives me directions.

i am going to tackle the quests "argument" you want variety here is some variety. in morrowind you had a quest in which you had to marry an ashlander chief, you had to battle daedra in a game of riddles so you can complete a pilgrimage. you had to test to see if a skirt was cursed for a crazy wizard. you had to kill a fucking netch with a fork to get a powerful artifact from a daedra. there are plenty of interesting quests that dont rely on stat based shit dumbass. and god forbid a game makes its stats important to its quests. sorry this isnt skyrim where you can be the most non-magical archmage and thief who has never sneaked a day in his life.

azura was morrowind's antagonist
>>
>>383637310
I dreamt last night that you where able to harness the heart of Lorkhan yourself in the game and turn into a god.
And the game was played like some old Pokémon on the Gameboy.
And the physical world around the game where this mix of Vvardenfell and Sigil from PS:T.

I've been sick for a few days.
>>
>>383662856
You're completely right. Morrowind had a very comfy setting and lore, but outside of that it fails to be an enjoyable game when compared to Oblivion. It didn't age well at all.
>>
>>383670757
Oblivion aged way worse honestly
>>
I actually think Tribunal did more good on the larger scale than Azura. Besides, who cares about her, it's Boethiah that actually matters.
>>
>>383669995
My operational assumption is that everyone involved in that battle was an equally massive asshole and liar, and all accounts we can hear are equally suspect. Almsivi were cunts, Dagoth Ur is reverse dead and dreaming, all we know of Nerevar is what we hear from Almsivi, Ur or Ashlander oral tradition, Imperial sources are all derived from the former, and Kagrenac is off comparing notes with Baxter Stockman.

Also look at this mod I found.

He was not born a god. His destiny did not lead him to this crime. He chose this path of his own free will. He stole the godhood and murdered the Hortator. Vivec wrote this.

Finished it for the first time last night. What a ride. The build up to meeting Vivec was fantastic and the Hortator/Nerevarine quest prior to that dragged on a bit but was very interesting for the lore nevertheless.

Also I was expecting that the Red Mountain raids would involve you and some buoyant armiger squad, but they're all like "fuck off and just come back if you need to heal".

Now, on to Oblivion and spending all day modding it.
