Last thread died, so new Morrowind thread.

How to generate grass if using MO2:

1. Download and install grass plugins.
2. Check "on" both mods (list on the left) and plugins (list on the right).
3. Close MO2 and open it again.
4. Run MGE XE opening it from MO2 (important).
4. Generate distant land. Use "use current load order" for choosing plugins.
5. Generate. It took about 20 minutes for me.
6. When it's done, in MO2 leave mods (left) "on" but check plugins (right) "off"
7. Your grass just works

I like this dude

will there be at least marginal PT/TR releases from all provinces by 2030? hammerfell, high rock, black marsh, elsweyr, etc.

>>712566167
Look at claims tracker. Right now there are a lot of assest for Cathonquey in development.

My guess is that within next 2 years we'll get some of High Rock, Hammerfell, Padomaic Islands and more Cyrodiil.

>>712565963
It's this guy for me

Cool tatoo

i have like 500 mods, is it worth it to fuck around with getting BCOM (beautiful cities of morrowind) and retroactively checking if all my existing mods have patches, or just say fuck it? i never really liked overhauling vanilla places, just adding more stuff.

>>712565963
I liked bullying his dumbass friend

>>712567204
BCOM itself has a ton of patches and its usually the last thing I install. The author has an obsession lol. I cant play without it anymore, it brings Vvardenfell up to parity with the TR stuff imo

>>712565552 (OP)
How are Morrowboomers gonna cope when Skywind drops and completely blows the original out of the water?

>>712568038
not a boomer but I'll just keep playing Morrowind since Tamriel Rebuilt exists

>>712568038
>when Skywind drops
lol. When. lol

nigga overdosed skooma lol

>>712566338
PI is limbo because they allow a certain faggot who got kicked out of every other project to run theirs.

>>712568038
Bold of you to assume I won't be playing both. Assuming Skywind ever releases, that is.

>>712568429
Where did you get a picture of me?

>>712566419
what the hell is this from

>>712565552 (OP)
Nice armor. Must I strip someone else naked to get it?

>>712568429
I'm torn, Boss. On one hand, Sloads are cool and I want to see more of them. On the other, putting the entirety of Jabba's palace into your Elder Scrolls mod, complete with gamorrean guards and a bowcaster is a bit too much.

>>712568619
Vanilla

>>712568619
He's in the mar gaan shrine.

>>712568038
>skywind releasing
>ever
Skyrim will be fully playable in Morrowind long before Morrowind is playable in Skyrim.

>>712568843
There's like one guy actively working on Home of the Nords, Bretons, Reachmen, and the Occasional Redguard, it's going to be a long, hard-contested race.

>>712568719
huh, didn't remember the 'rape' comment, that'd never make it in today

>>712569003
>1 guy made more progress in 1 year than 70+ people did in 5.
grim

>>712569013
Nope. And there's a lot more of those types of lines in this game. You just have to look for them. Morrowind really does dabble in a lot of weird themes that wouldn't be acceptable today. Like the dude that has sex with his daughters.

should I try total overhaul now or wait until 8.0?

>>712569116
I just wish he fixed the fucking roofs. No place with this much snow is going to have flat-roofed houses.

>>712566338
Hammerfell is definitely not coming within two years, don't let the exterior progress fool you. High Rock's first release might come within two years if things go very smoothly, but I wouldn't bet on it. Temaris (first PI release) might be out within that time, but definitely not Cathnoquey (plan is for each of Cath, Yneslea, and Esroniet to be one release). Sutch won't be PT's focus until after Markarth is done, but it could optimistically happen within two years.

>Yupee nub nub!

>do a teleportation mistakes quest

>new Morrowind thread
Great. I've got two abecean shores issues:
>can't sell stocks
dialogue just repeats until i abandon, got 40 shares waiting to be sold and can't do shit with them
I'd imagine there's a script issue, but I don't know what to go fix
>masqued captain doesn't surrender
I even nuked his strength and pelted him with 1 damage spells, still swinging at 1 health
are there extra requirements?

Is there going to be any more Hlaalu content or am I safe going on to be Grandmaster and getting Veloth's blessing

>>712573679
There will be substantially more content, 2nd biggest Hlaalu city of Kragenmoor and a stronghold building quests

>>712573679
the next expansion will finish hlaalu forever.

>>712567204
BCoM will fuck everything up visually if there are conflicts or you didn't install shit properly, so DO NOT just say fuck it unless you're fine with shit like seyda neen's lighhouse floating in spieces over the village.

New race of Man found. Look at the color of his hands.

He actually is Keptu-Quey and has all-new voice acting recorded.

>>712573679
There's one more expansion for Hlaalu, adding Kragenmoor and a few towns towards Cyrodiil. It's supposed to include an actual central quest line for the house and the stronghold construction line, but it'll be at least another year before that happens.

>>712568038
>playing morrowind in the inferior game when I can just play morrowind instead
no

>>712568038
what's there to cope, skyrim as a base engine has fuck all on morrowind
the only gameplay element from skyrim i want in morrowind is flamethrower spells

>>712573679
https://wiki.project-tamriel.com/wiki/Wealth_Beyond_Measure_Expansion
They have one final Hlaalu expansion planned, expected to release after their Sundered Scar rework. Projected release date: 2027-ish

>>712572982
What quest was that?

>>712574980
Dammit, I want the staff of veloth nooooow

>you will probably be dead before the entirety of Tamriel is playable
it's over

>>712565963
For me, it's these two

>>712575030
Narsis MG quest from the guild guide

Redpill me on Morrowind and the whole tamerial rebuilt or whatever the fuck it is

I'd be starting from scratch and just fucking around since I've played the original but only for a few hours
What skills are must haves outside of my basic melee of weapon/block/armor/armorer?
I'm thinking speechcraft/athletics/security and no idea what else, alchemy maybe?

>>712575681
armorer is worthless
speech and security are decent, but the magic equivalent mogs them bad
alchemy is op
the two fundamental skills (if you're not going out of your way to not use magic) are alteration and mysticism, everything else is up to taste.

>>712575326
Once AI generation of 3d assets is cheaper the real bottleneck on these projects will be gone.

>>712575681
You'll want alteration, illusion, and one weapon and armor skill for sure. All the magic skills are good, the thief ones generally suck, except speechcraft which is really good.
Don't bother with a heavily vanilla playthrough.
Fatigue affects almost everything, including things you wouldn't expect. If you're low fatigue you barter worse, convince people worse, attack worse, cast worse, jump lower, literally almost every single action in the game is better if your green bar is full.

what fov do yall niggas play on

>>712576407
45 because otherwise my FPS drops too much. Used to do 70..

>>712576407
70

Vanilla quests:
>Ah, you seem capable enough. Your duty is to find out what's behind the disappearance of the Dwemer.
Tamriel Rebuilt quests:
>Darn, we're out of stinkbloom and toiletweed. Fetch us 10 samples of each. Do not bother with any alchemists or apothecaries here. Go look for them in the Molag Bal's Piss Jug region famous for its cliff racers, where there are no silt striders, boats or teleporters. (Actually they grow in the backalleys of this very town lol.)

>>712576013
I'm not playing if it's AIslop

>>712566167
Never count on releases. We've waited for 16 years just to get a small glimpse of Skyrim. Anything other than TR should not be anticipated. Smile because it happened.
>>712573438
How are Kingdom of Anvil quests? I've only beaten Mages Guild and Stirk Thieves Guild and the Priests.
>>712574980
This soon? Back in my day we waited 5 years for expansions, and they came with only 5 quests each tops. The modders are spoiling the masses.

>>712578568
What's the reason behind your Luddism?

>>712578731
No soul. I may as well be playing whatever the latest bethesdaslop is at that point.

>>712575681
TES peaked at this game. Oblivion and Skyrim live under its shadow, unlike what most people think.

TR is recreating the entire province in the game's style, without the slop from later games.

>>712578568
Morrowind modding scene is probably the one that's most accepting of AI.

>>712575681
TR is a mod adding the rest of the continent to the game, and it's really high quality
You can't go wrong with the skills you listed desu, I'd maybe add mercantile or enchant on top of what you already have

>>712568038
skyrim won't be able to mimic morrowind, at all

>>712569248
The dialogue they have Neloth in skyrim really felt like they were planning on having Fyr there instead, but some faggot just had to butt in

>>712580590
That would be like trying to get a Ferrari to mimic a Model T.

>>712578643
>How are Kingdom of Anvil quests? I've only beaten Mages Guild and Stirk Thieves Guild and the Priests.
They're alright. Decent variety and you get a look at how the kingdom works from the width of activity. Very constable-ish.
The underwater ones need better directions to the objective, but otherwise they're nice.

>>712579256
In other words delusions without basis in reality.
I figured as much, but thanks for confirming.

Do you guys normally get your reputation above 50 before doing the main quest? I'm on my second playthrough and I didn't even know parts of it could be skipped with high enough reputation.

>>712581319
You will never be an artist.

>>712581417
19hrs in and my rep amounts to 1 point. I haven't touched MQ yet, just some guilds.

>>712581417
I will never do the Hortator quests ever again. Telvannis are fun atleast, but the other two Houses are funless, boring slogs.

>>712581659
Eh, only the Redoran one is any real slog just cause of the stupid escort quest.

>>712581417
most people just get their baldesbux and never touch the mq again

>>712578083
Vanilla:
>get me 4 types of flowers and 4 types of mushrooms
TR:
>help me find what happened to teleportation. Oops, you accidentally in Skyrim? Well you have to get back to Narsis without teleportation.
>you will expand the mine for me. Meanwhile help/sabotage workers getting paid in gold in place of scrip, deal with Ashlanders superstition and find ancient tomb and all this because spoiler

what the fuck is this thing? and what do i do with it?

>>712582483
Kill it with fire, it'll be a mercy.

My and my Argonian slave-wife (freed slave-wife, of course, I'm not like these backwards Dungmer savages) are going to purchase some land within Stormgate Pass and build our life there.

I'm too rsrted for mods ;_;

>>712582701
do a modlist then

I've read that it's best to just do themed playthroughs
But I really just want to do as much as possible in one playthrough

What's the best way?

>>712583138
Including TR or not? If yes, then you should join House Hlaalu + Imperial Guilds + either Imperial Cult or Temple. Tribunal Temple has more quests than Cult I think

>>712578083
Is TR filed with run on sentences like this?

>>712583138
Unlike what the other guy said, I'm going to recommend you just play what you want to. There's genuinely more content than you want to play; hundreds of hours worth.

Zamn, so you've been sayin' ancient Velothi kangs were living like this!?

>>712583494
Do they not know you should build things level?
They are worse than the Chinese at building.

>>712583494
How do you open the doors on the building on the right?

>>712583138
>>712583492
yeah, be a Temple pilgrim / Imperial hardliner / Telvanni mage / Hlaalu jew / whatever. You'll find 4 x more content than in whole Skyrim anyways.

>>712583494
They did learn civilization from boethia so cut them some slack

>>712583734
The village probably got rekt in an alavanche.
>>712583890
You don't. There is no interior. Some of the modded ruins don't have interiors. I've seen that shit in Cyrodiil too.
>>712583982
Better than Trinimac lol.

>>712581417
I barely ever do the main quest, but when I do I only do the hortator quests and swear to vivec if I'm on a very commited nerevarine run.
Otherwise I'd much rather pretend the prophecy is bullshit and just brute force my way into killing dagoth.

I'm only used to Oblivion
I tried Skyrim. It felt like the entire gameworld was basically 'we're useless fucks, please do everything for us' like the entire world was static somehow and in a loop until you came along

I was planning on going melee and taking alteration for the utility and maybe conjuration so I can summon shit if I get raped

Other than that I'm taking security and speechcraft

Is athletics/mercantile worth it at all? I don't want to do glitches or gamebreaking shit but I've no idea what to use for skills since I only want one weapon type, blunt

>>712568038
Considering OG morrowind already has twice the original's landmass in pure mod content (that's all as good, but mostly better than the original), I don't think they'll care much

>>712575681
Redpill: Morrowind is pretty shitty as a game. The combat is the worst in the series (including Daggerfall), the visuals are ass, and it has almost none of the interactivity ES games are known for like NPC schedules. Stealth is also a complete joke and unusable for the most part. The world, whilst thematically interesting and creative, is very boring to play through, as it's just mines, caves and tombs copied over and over. Most NPCs do not have any sort of unique dialog, and all dialog, except greetings and a few main quest moments are entirely unvoiced.

The pros are... All this makes the game extremely easy to mod, hence Tamriel Rebuilt. It's a gigantic landmass mod that fills the game world out with content that (mostly) blends in perfectly with the original game.
If you treat the game as a walking simulator, throw in Ashfall for some survival/travel stuff and only really care about the lore, it can be mildly fun. But otherwise, it's just... Really underwhelming and not that fun to play.

t. boomer who didn't play Morrowind growing up and thus has no nostalgia for it.

>>712576013
Assets are not a problem, most assets for PS and WBM are ready. It's level development and quest refining that takes time

>>712578083
Both TR and the original have a lot of fetch quests.

>use umo to install stormrider and bardcraft on top of expanded vanilla
>it doesn't work
damn one day

>>712582483
laloo!

>>712582483
That's a Gremlin. Like the Daedric Guardians, they're TR implementations of creatures that haven't been seen since Redguard.

>>712584790
Even just placing down NPCs and setting up those cocksuckers can be a massive pain in the ass.

I don't understand the lore of cliffracers exactly. It feels strange that a flying creature that spends its time in high altitude areas would bother chasing a random humanoid across the fields so aggressively. It feels like the Nerevar just has an aura that pisses off every wild animal in a 4 mile radius, it doesn't really make much sense at all. In all the RPGs I've played, I think Morrowind has the least immersive wildlife possible. It's really impressive.

I know the whole cliffracer thing is just a funny haha meme thing regarding Morrowind but the Nerevar has to have done something in his past life to piss a species off so much that the creature is WAITING for you to come back after recalling just to try kicking your ass. You have to genuinely sit here and wonder why a fucking bird creature stood by for a week, pissed off at you, waiting for you to return to Ald-ruhn so it peck at you. It never once broke aggro. It remained pissed off, unchanging, fervently, ready to strike while I was taking care of chores somewhere else.

Holy fucking shit, man.

damn

>>712586321
Are you fucking retarded
Eagles are one of the highest flying birds and they nest high

>>712586536
Yeah but they don't strike and fuck off like an actual hunting bird, they follow. And they follow. And they follow well after the prey is on the other side of Vvardenfell. It's crazy.

>>712586596
Eagles will give chase if needed unlike smaller birds of prey
Also I always thought they were magic sky stingrays/pterodactyls instead of actual birds

>>712586321
Birds are huge assholes in real life too, I'm not surprised a fantasy giant bird attacks random people on sight

Cliff racers are canada goose but green

>>712586321
Don't overthink poor coding.
AI packages wasn't their strongsuit back then.

What constant effects are good bros, give me some ideas

>>712586486
if they utilized AI voices in the future, the wealth of quests would probably be similar

>>712586913
They're even worse in extended lore. Kidnapping children and they make nests out of nothing but shit.

>the TR guys want to add a carbon-copy of the nose demon from Berserk
why?

>>712587130
1 point of slowfall to eliminate fall damage without really having to worry about shit.
Any sort of fortify enchanting (if you get it to 110 or over all enchantments only use 1 charge).

>>712587618
>1 point of slowfall to eliminate fall damage without really having to worry about shit.
Yeah but doesn't that make your momentum null, therefore making movement unfun in most cases

>>712587676
Not really. I used to sail across the skies before I switched to blink.

>>712587130

>>712586217
Rodent of Unusual Size?
>>712586321
Cliff racers have hyperactive thalamus, they mistake all movement for prey. The ecology of Ashlands is so messed up they have no natural predators to keep them in check.
>>712587597
Kino.
On the more serious note, I don't know what goes on inside modders' minds. The hormones must me really messing them up. I wish they added the titty lady instead.

>>712587115

>>712576407
100

>>712587130
jump, telekinesis, fortify luck

Fuck just going with some random skills since I can't figure out all ten to use

Do any quests/factions interact?
I know about the fighter guild/thief guild thing
But like do any others interact like, if I did all the non-faction quests in Balmora in one char but not another do I miss out on other quests based on if I did/did not complete all the Balmora quests

>modded npcs start clipping through the map and disappearing
>ra command doesn't fix it
I just wanna play Morrowind man

>>712586321
They're canonically extremely aggressive predators that apparently even managed to drive dragons out of Morrowind just by being extremely annoying. What exactly do you not get?

>>712565552 (OP)
i want to try out grass mods in openmw but im afraid of permanently bricking my game

>>712586321
From what I've read the Devs initially wanted them to be soft walls for people who levitate around mountains and cliffs but they had a way too large aggro radius

>>712587346
You don't understand. We've lost the technology to write quests.
>>712588589
I think you're always breaking the game a little each time you go free roaming instead of doing quests. It doesn't really matter. The game is far too big for a single playthrough. You'll always be locking yourself out of something. I think that TR and PT quests don't exclude each other out nearly as much as the vanilla questlines do.
>>712588624
Check your active plugins. Some mods have many .esp files, but only one should be active. I've messed up once by duplicating each townie in Balmora until I've turned off a duplicate.
>>712588779
I've tried playing with grass once and it didn't fit in stylistically.

>>712587130
restore fatigue 3pts

What leveling mod for OpenMW is recommended to avoid the min/max with the skills/attributes each time?

>>712588584
>fortify luck
Isn't luck really fucking useless unless just plain capped

>>712589480
luck act as half a stat for many calculations, but by and large its just better to fortify agility for combat purposes and intelligence for crafting.

Is there a good transmog mod that works with OpenMW

Any special individuals worthy of the Nerevar's harem?
I figure at least one Bosmer should be added.

I wish the smaller factions like the archeological society in OE were joinable factions, they could have some unique quests

>>712587130
Levitate 14 point amulet if you have 300 speed boots then you can stock up on Scroll of Windform and use them to fly across the map.

>>712587130
And with constant effects remember you can just equip and reequip until you get the highest number

>>712590552
Fargoth

>>712590670
They are meant to be, the archeological society is meant to become joinable whenever they finally manage to complete kemel-ze.

>>712590670
They have some quests in Anvil

>>712591003
Kemel-Ze's being redone to be far less enormous. Kind of a shame but a lot of that place was just there for no real reason.

>>712590552
>bosmer

>>712591117
>They have some quests in Anvil
Quests, plural? I only found the excavation in Garlas Agea, where are the others?

>>712591884
Maybe just that one, haven't don't much there, still an interesting one

>>712591884
Yeah I think it's just that one, better than nothing though.

This isn't even a tranny congregation general
It's a general dedicated to simping for trannies.

>but trannies are unavoidable, so acshualy you're pathetic for avoiding trannies!
>haha you thought about them so I win!
Tranny Simp general

>>712592364
>better than nothing
Yeah, hopefully we'll see more and more.
It's easily the guild I'm most hyped for, since it's a fucking perfect roleplaying hook for adventuring and exploring.

never got destruction above 75 as a pure mage
what's the actual point i can kill anything

>>712593217
Destruction is one of the more useless skill IMO

>>712593458
no it isn't be quiet

>>712590552
will installing better heads and better bodies on a late game with mods break it?

Why did Allinall nuke the entirety of his TES videos and where can I find a backup?

>>712594106
No, but those mods kinda suck.

>>712590912
need that fargussy

anyone tried LGNPC? is it antiquated now?

I just enchanted a necklace on my own to have 100 open, with buffed enchant only at 60. Holy fuck security really is useless

>>712595014
still "need" it for traps THOUGH

>>712593217
Getting magic skills above 70 isn't really useful, since you'll be able to cast 99% of practical spells by that point, but you're gonna get beyond that point anyway on a mage run so you might as well make ad hoc spells to kill specific bosses.
TR in particular adds some annoying ones, so having a touch of death hitting for 2000+ is pretty handy.

>>712595069
Nah, just use telekinesis.

>>712595014
enchanting makes every skill useless by that logic, security is fine at what it does

>>712595169
This is true though, and a massive problem with the game

Is TR good as mostly just a melee for damage? I don't mind use conjuration but the animations for magic are retarded looking and I'd rather just hit things

>>712595403
Even 'pure' mages can use weapons to great effect. A couple enchanted items for different damage types can be really useful though, since multiple different enchanted weapons gets really heavy unless you're a dagger user.

>>712595672
What do you mean different damage types? Like fire/frost/shock or blunt/blade/axe?

>>712591003
Damn, and when's that
Also I thought Kemel-ze was already in, what's wrong with it
I never read the book, why's Kemel-ze important anyways

>>712593217
It's to make spells cheaper so you can actually spam them instead of running out of air after two really fucking basic attack spells
Which doesn't mean much considering all higher level enemies resist, reflect or plain old ignore most damage spells anyways lol fuck you

>>712595908
all melee weapons deal the same type of damage, they're mostly down to preference outside of spears being backpedal gods and shortblades being enchantment dispensers.

fun fact, your bow damage is modified by your strength.

>>712596059
Kemel-Ze is part of all the really old TR content. It's super outdated and basically entirely and totally unfinished, as you've probably noticed.

>>712596059
>Damn, and when's that
No idea, but considering where it is now it's not gonna be until they redo the telvanni maps, so after redoran most likely.
>why's Kemel-ze important
You know, I don't actually think it is at all? ESO added some Sotha Sil lore about it being a proto-clockwork city, but nobody cares about ESO.
It's more that it's famous because that fucking book is everywhere in every game, so I guess TR devs wanted to make a big deal out of its ruin.

>>712596742
>You know, I don't actually think it is at all
Oh, I thought it was because, you know, like you said, that book is really everywhere.

>>712596742
That's also why they're redoing it. Kemel-Ze in the book had a big tomb but other than that there's no indication anything else about it is particularly special.
In-game they basically made it the largest Dwemer city by several orders of magnitude, which in retrospect is kind of odd. Even ESO just made it a chateau that Dumac gave Sotha Sil.

Mind you, reinventing Kemel-Ze to be a House on the Rock kind of thing would be cool, but either way.

>>712587130
put 2 or 3 points of levitate on a belt or equivalent
fortify agility is better than sanctuary

>shall unite all the tribes of the dunmer, drive out the invaders of morrowind, and shall reestablish the ancient laws and customs of the dark elven nations
so the emperor wants to drive out his own people (imperials) from a foreign land? or am i stupid?

>>712595908
Fire/frost/shock/poison/magicka/physical are all the types to my knowledge.
If you use a weapon it's not unusual for the enchantment to vastly outscale the weapon itself. So if you're fighting a bunch of daedra you may want to take an enchantment type that you resist to reduce reflect, or if you're fighting undead you don't want to use cold since they're immune or resistant to it.

>>712597250
I think the implication was that they no longer see themselves as the invaders but like they belong there but, what the heck, I thought the Empire didn't get to rule Morrowind till much later and Reman was kicked in the balls when he tried to invade

>>712586486
I mean, Morrowind's quests are usually pretty simple

I always read it as a Dune situation where they know the prophecy is pretty much a superstitious load of shit so they send an inside man to become the prophesized one to ultimately wrest control from the Dunmer.

>>712597427
Yeah, quests are usually to kill a bunch of dark elf vermin and they die painfully and easily

>>712597250
Because he probably realizes that the Empire is on the brink of breaking up and he'd rather have the new boss of Morrowind be someone he sort of has control over rather than some hostile Dunmer chud.

>>712597046
if you're already hitting stuff fine, sanctuary is the better defensive option, a point of agility gives .25 dodge chance at maximum fatigue whereas sanctuary gives 1% regardless of fatigue level with the same base cost.

>>712597250
The Emperor wants to make sure Corprus doesn't spread to Cyrodiil. Losing his paltry 'control' of Morrowind is an acceptable trade off. Particularly since the relationship with House Hlaalu is unlikely to change, so they'll still be able to get ebony shipments.
The fact that the Nerevarine is likely to slaughter or exile all imperials (citizens, not the race) currently in Morrowind is apparently an acceptable sacrifice. Or the writers just didn't think it through, since they banished the character for future canon despite it not making much sense either.
My bet's on the latter. They just didn't really seem to comprehend the magnitude of having the immortal Dunmer king of legend around. In fact, to my knowledge, the Emperor was under the impression that the Tribunal wouldn't even be going anywhere, making the whole thing even more stupid.

>>712597046
>>712597589
Plus fortify spells are just way too costly if you go over like just 5 points. I mean sure, you probably have enough glass and daedric 10000 times folded swords to cover it but you can also spend that money on multiple useful utility enchants that'll help out more

>>712597250
I wouldn't be surprised that they knew about Dagoth Ur through the Elder Scrolls prophecies and Uriel decided it better to lose Morrowind through an agent with Imperial sympathies than to risk the destruction of the world.

>>712597691
You can make the enchantment a magnitude and just keep equipping it until you roll the numbers you want.
Part of me wanted to do a mod that makes the magnitude of a spell or enchant dependent on skills + luck, but I don't think that's possible even with MWSE.

>>712597602
>They just didn't really seem to comprehend the magnitude of having the immortal Dunmer king of legend around
The emperor and his advisors probably just thought of it as silly Dark Elf superstition they could use to keep Morrowind around as a friend after the inevitable collapse of the empire.

>>712597250
He thinks the prophecy coming true is inevitable, and he almost certainly knows the empire is fucked. He probably wanted to make sure Morrowind was off balance so they wouldn't try anything funny in a coming moment of weakness, and ensuring its messiah had their fate irrevocably tied to the Septim line was a bonus.
Also, Dagoth Ur was who knows how few years away from getting past the Ghostfence and skullfucking Cyrodil with the Blight and the Septim line has a habit of knowing shit they have absolutely NO right to.

>>712597250
>Revan
Wait which one is Revan, when was this

>>712597771
That's possible, but if that was the case the Nerevarine wouldn't have been able to stop Corprus either, so sending him is basically just a waste of time.

>>712597858
that's just your characters name

>>712597763
There's really only two solutions to that exploit. The first is to not allow ranges on CE enchants. The second is to make them reroll every second like they do for Restore Health.
I don't know if either is possible to implement. I personally just always set a static value for the CE because anything else feels like a clear exploit.

>>712597763
I just think magnitude ranges in constant effects just straight up shouldn't have been allowed but that's just me. It's really cheesy but not even in a satisfying way like "wow I just figured out I can use potions that make me smarter to make better potions"

>>712597954
>because anything else feels like a clear exploit.
That is the fun of Morrowind.

>>712598084
The cope over this will never make sense to me
Just console command it

>>712597954
I dunno, man. For some effects, the magnitude you can get without using a range just feels like a waste of time to make a CE at all. If I can't even get ten points of whatever Fortify I'm aiming for I feel better off making it a Cast On Use instead.

>>712598237
>will never make sense to me
Because Morrowind is so easy to break, even by accident, that it becomes a game where breaking it is part of the game itself.

It's fun to use telekinesis to mass open doors, steal everyone's eggs briefly boost your security for 2 seconds to pickpocket everyone to the point of nudity, and then use a 60 point jump spell to blast halfway across the province back to the arms of your sweaty harem.

>>712598393
You can ALWAYS make a noticeable CE enchant. Just not necessarily the one you want. Restore Fatigue is notably cheap.

>>712598083
>wow I just figured out I can use potions that make me smarter to make better potions
The truth about the alchemy exploit is that it isn't even necessary to do half the time. With high enough alchemy and intelligence you can be making Fortify Attribute 30+ points or stupid long Restore potions without boosting. The only real reason to make fuckhueg +Int potions is to make Enchanting functional or make specific potions that are stronger than the shit you could buy, like Reflect or Spell Absorption. Like seriously with those two you get like 8% reflect or 7 points of absorption at 65 Alchemy and 65 Intelligence, it's fucking stupid

>>712598453
>boost your security for 2 seconds to pickpocket everyone to the point of nudity
Oh fuck off train autist, you know that this doesn't work even if you get a billion in your agi and security
I'm still mad at how broken stealth is bros

>>712598489
I still have no idea how reflect or absorb rates are calculated

>>712598546
It is if you're using the real time pickpocket mod. Which you should be.

>>712598489
Reflect, Spell Absorption, and the Resists are all hilariously overcosted. The problem is their formula doesn't really account for the differences in time mattering so much. So something that only needs to last a couple of seconds like Charm or Calm is too cheap, but something that should last at least a minute like Resist is prohibitively expensive.
FFS a Daedric Tower Shield only gives 22.5% elemental resist (average/static) or a whopping 4.5% Reflect.

>>712598846
Your appointment to House Hlaalu should be finalized within the week, I've already discussed the matter with the grandmaster.

>>712599353
Why contain it?
It's grand and intoxicating.

>>712590552
>Nerevar's harem

Are there even mods for that? Morrowind companion mods with romances can be counted in one hand, and most of them are old af.

What I tend to do is that I just use admire on the least ugly fem npcs in a settlement. The dialogue is so hilariously flirtatious that you can roleplay that your character is spreading his bloodline around.

>>712599563
I just Command Humanoid them

>>712597250
Here, the actual redpill: The emperor suspects something is going on, but he isn't actually sure.

It's heavily implied by the game's plot and structure that you are essentially a psyop, an Asset: The prophecy may be true or not, but you are in Morrowind as a puppet to essentially subvert the dunmer's dissident extremist religion into a weapon to weaken the Tribunal and strengthen the Empire's position. A blades agent becoming messiah would be the biggest achievement for the organization at a provincial level.

Now, are you an asset by the endgame? That's the real question here, and one only you can answer

>>712599869
>The prophecy may be true or not
What? The prophecy IS true. All the major players acknowledge it as such. Nobody disputes it, only the details of it.

>>712600189
Not exactly.

Your dialogue choices with Dagoth Ur, in which you can outright deny being the Nerevarine, those are not just for people that roleplay humble characters: During the whole MQ the prophecy is treated more like an instruction manual and none of its predictions come true in a straight way. Not only that, but most characters are pretty self-aware of intentionally acting in order to make the prophecy come true, rather than just being pawns of fate, and even the ashlanders seem to not think of you as actual Nerevar reborn until the trials are complete, and not because they couldn't recognize you, but because you weren't "yet".

If that's not enough, MK himself said in an interview that the prophecy is only true if the player wants it to be true. Morrowind is basically fantasy Dune.

>Found really cool gear
>It's governed by a skill you are not even slightly invested in
This sucks
Sucks on ice

>>712602146
Skill issue

>>712602223
I mean, yeah
Speaking of, is that helmet unique or does it have a proper set

>>712600713
Kirkbride is a faggot and his coda fan fiction will never be canon. Dear god, you faggots are the bionicle community. They hang on to everything Greg Farshty says like its gospel handed down directly from god like you retards hang on every drug addled literally gay robot orgy kirkbride imagines while taking a shit.
He was hired to help write a game and he has no control on the story now.

>>712600713
MK didn't write as much as people give him credit for and was heavily tard wrangled.
The player can believe what he wants, but the prophecy comes true regardless of his beliefs. You unironically have a 'media literacy' failure here; and not in interpretation but in literal reading. The question isn't whether or not the prophecy is true--it is. The question is whether or not (You) made it so, or it was controlled by a more powerful entity, and if (You) are the Nerevar reborn or not. If (You) had failed, someone else would've fulfilled the prophecy. It was always going to become true.

>>712602268
It's not an artifact (the model's a generic work helm that a few other things use) but it's got a unique enchantment that's not part of a set.

>>712600713
You're retarded, this guy >>712602671
also missed that the opening cutscene is literally Azura telling saying you're the chosen one, so it's true before you even get to input a command

>>712602790
But that implies that stupid blue bitch is infallible and do you really believe that

>>712602892
Infallible? How?
It implies she knows (or chooses) who fulfills the prophecy she laid out
Also she's the fucking god of prophecy so in that domain she probably is infallible

>>712603148
Daedra aren't like Greek gods, things don't exist because of them. They have spheres that they gravitate towards and are compelled to carry them out. Just because one of Azura's spheres is prophecy doesn't mean she actually has prophetic visions. She just makes shit up and throws things against the wall until they stick

>>712604148
Source?
At least one creation myth says the deadric princes are embodiments of the aspects of Anu/Padomay, and thus they'd have complete and utter control over their realms
I know of nothing to contradict this, and certainly nothing to show that Azura is just bullshitting and actually has zero powers of prophecy

>>712594272
can you guys recommend me some body / face mods

>>712605745
No because they aren't needed.
Just play the game.

>>712605321
Other than the fact that she doesn't do much prophesizing even if it would help her and her people?

>>712606424
That's a no then
She doesn't do 'much' relative to mortal terms maybe, and she has multiple peoples
But for an immortal being without a mortal's sense of time and who views mortals as toys, what 'a lot' of prophesizing is is impossible to define

>>712568675
You're right

He needs a funny monkey creature too

>>712606972
That's what you are.

>The entire crux of the game might be a millenia old conspiracy where you methodically uncover lie after lie as the story progresses but this bullshit a Daedra cooked up should be taken at face value

>>712583392
The writing is really inconsistent because multiple dudes are working on it. If you want to see some writing that makes ESL 4chan posts look coherent, find Crystal Mr. House.

>>712568038
>Can't place objects in world with them being affected by physics
It already lost.

>>712586321
You've put way, way more thought into this than the devs

>>712606826
Well every other century would still be OK

>>712568038
Skywind is just Morrowind in Skyrim's less jank engine. Morrowind mods allow you to explore more of the 3rd era.

>>712611057
>less jank
Honestly it's much more jank due to the dialogue limitations.

>>712607864
kek are you esl on an english copy or just a youtube hero who thought he could absorb the game through osmosis?
the entire game is about how the daedra were right the entire time and the tribunal was wrong the entire time
even though two of the three good daedra are supposed to be known for treachery and deception there's no indication of it in game
in fact even the mephala worshippers of the morag tong are fucking straight up about their business and move through legal channels

>>712565552 (OP)
Ill be staring TR for the first time today. It seems i should join hlaalu in order to get the mowt content right? Are there any other factions that are joinable outside vanila? Are there any conflicting ones? And lastly. Is there a mod that allows me to join more houses? I always go redoran but hlaalu is really tempting right now

>>712613630
TR is adding playable Indoril next update. It does add the Ja Natta Syndicate, a new criminal faction in Narsis. Hlaalu and Telvanni has the most content, but.the Telvanni stuff is old and not as top quality as Hlaalu. There should still be some Redoran stuff too.

If you want entirely new factions, you'll need to go to Skyrim or Cyrodiil

>To Balmore

>>712613630
Hlaalu has the most content (and it's not even done yet), but there's some mindlessly fun 'go forth and smoke that motherfucker' type quests for Redoran. Honestly the best faction to join in TR as of now, both for quality and quantity, is the Temple. Imperial organizations also have quite a lot of content, though it's more hit and miss. Avoid Telvanni, who have a grand total of one good questline and are a relic of shitty pre-renaissance design.

>>712613938
>necromancy is useless
>if they don't want to die, they should learn Recall instead

>>712600189
A big part of morrowinds story is that people kinda don't know what the fuck they are talking about and how everyone just justifies their actions with words and mystery.

>>712613630
Whatever you do, go South, to Skyrim or Anvil. Don't bother with central East parts of the expansion. There's nothing to do there. I'm moving from SE to N, I will report more in the following threads. Just avoid East. I've been to a huge Temple City named Necrom and only found two quests there: finding a book for a woman from Bal Foyen and the other one was sobering up a drunk Indoril. I'm talking about Ald-Ruhn-sized city offering nothing but museums.

Is this a good way to include your background lore? I actually don't remember this from my first playthrough so I'm reading them all now.

>>712615876
There's a small Temple questline there that rewards some pretty boss armor, and another misc one where you lay a ghost to rest, but, yeah, that's it. In the whole Telvanni-Indoril section of the map there is less to do than in one Hlaalu city. Even Akamora, which is supposed to be the Indoril capital, only has a couple of quests.

>>712615876
Firewatch has a ton of content Anon

>>712596059
I'm there right now for the first time since I was a kid. I was 11 when this part of the map was released back in 2008. Basically we have a Telvanni town just outside where the locals joke about the ruins being a literal nothingburger while the Imperials keep poking around inside. I don't want to spoil anyone's experience, but the interior is like a Daggerfall dungeon with countless corridors and several huge atriums. The place has been looted a long time ago. The old TR team didn't know what to do obviously, they just kept expanding the overworld map with little thought on what to do with it. Maybe they planned on doing the map first and content second... It just didn't work.
>>712616973
Nice, but I'm Imperial Mages Guild/Imperial Court kind of character this time.
>>712617085
I haven't been there in at least 13 years, I've heard some Telvanni parts were remade. I'm going to check Firewatch and Helnim out.

>>712608236
>implying the incoherent garbage isn't posted by terminally domesticated and propagandized, functionally illiterate sub-monolingual mutts

>>712617516
It's not really Telvanni parts, but the imperial settlements on the west coast of the Telvanni district. There's very little new or redone Telvanni content, and the rework area stops just short of the first tower towns.

>>712617557
>domesticated

>>712617925
I get it. I hope they're less goofy now. I remember one of those having comically large city gates that would open so widely they were hitting the nearby NPCs.

>>712605745
no

>>712619682
Sometime during the past decade, they've figured out they can put a door in the massive gate like it was done historically.

>>712622121
Modding philosophy has changed. Back in the day everyone thought mods need to be bigger. Taller towers, huge flagpoles, giant gates, statues everywhere... TR was a tourist attraction with little else to do but take screenshots.

>>712602649
>He was hired to help write a game and he has no control on the story now
You realize Bethesda still uses Kirkbride’s ideas in their games right? Morrowind being blown up and Elswyer being split into two kingdoms were his ideas

>>712622864
According to MK everything is his idea.
He far to invested in a franchise he is no longer a part of. He is like the high school football player talking about the time he scored 4 touchdowns in a game 20 years later.

n'wah

>>712578083
You're referrencing that quest on Akamora's mages guild, right?

>>712622253
It still feels like that, to be honest, all those references and setpieces that don't serve much purpose other than being there and going "look at me, I'm cool aren't I?"
Contrast Cyrodiil where almost everything has a gameplay purpose, and the set design is much more restrained.

>>712624249
>green eyes
THAT IS NOT YOUR WORD, BOSMER

>>712624249
Not black enough.
Eyes not red.

>>712623284
That's what it means being creative. The man cares about his work. Morrowind was a labor of love before the corporations took over. There's something beautiful about losing control over your life's work, like what happened to Disco Elysium devs. In fact all the classic franchises were lost like that. Fable, Tomb Raider, Duke Nukem, Baldur's Gate, Fallout... The list goes on.
>>712624443
Yup.
>>712624494
I agree. Cyrodiil is great. It feels like its own game. TR mainland suffers from being too close to Vvardenfell.

>>712565552 (OP)
I will never take advice from anyone Hlaalu adjacent.

>>712624817
Like I said he is way to invested in a franchise he is no longer part of.
He claims to be the brains behind blowing up Vvardenfell. Does he have the exchange with Keyes to show his part? Did Keyes credit him with the idea?
I am sure it was all very hush hush behind the scenes stuff.

>>712624817
He knew he was part of a writing team. You can't claim others contributions as your life's work.

People's thoughts on total overhaul mod collection?
Close to finishing my first vanilla playthrough. Next will be using at least TR

>>712615876
Another one spreading lies about "shitty" east.

Yes, it's "worse" than the newest Hlaalu lands, but it's still huge and beautiful landmass with a lot of exploration to do. Less quests tho, save for Helnim and Firewatch that were recently reworked. In fact only Necrom is clearly sub-par.

What's the temperature like in Vvardenfell?

>>712625061
>>712625160

>>712623284
That's what I feel about Emile, only he isn't invested in the franchise yet insists on being a part of it anyway because he wrote [one] good quest and is trying to chase that high that he can never reclaim.

Where would I easily find 3 daedra hearts? I already checked the Vivec Mages Guild and Foreign Quarter alchemist and they didn't have any, also checked Ald Sotha and got rekt.

>>712628495
You need to kill some daedra but not scamp. If you can't, then git gud

>>712628495
>Where would I easily find 3 daedra hearts?
Every daedric ruin with an altar will spawn at least one dremora when you pick up a cursed gem.
Arguably cheese, but your own summoned dremoras drop a heart if you can loot them in that second before the corpse despawns.

>>712628495
Nalcarya in Balmoral and Anis in Sadrith Mora carry a lot of restocking items. Both should have Daedra Hearts.

>>712628610
I'm level 3. thats why I got rekt in Ald Sotha.

>>712630395
you don't need to be mad anon, grass mods are completely optional.

>>712631556
You should use VAIO from Rafael's Shader Pack instead, it's much better than that old volumetric clouds mod. You can use default max 10x view distance and it still looks good.
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/53667
I think you need to turn on volumetrics in the settings though theyre disabled by default

>>712631798
That was recommended on the mod creator's github but yeah. With 330 mods loaded I get around 60 fps in places like Old Ebonheart with PBR specular textures and everything, any more and it crashes when I step outside though.

>>712631952
Nice, thanks, definitely will check that out.

>>712632019
what's your specs? that seems literally impossible to me even with shadows tweaked off. without shadows and water turned on, and without postprocessing, at 5.00 view distance, i'd still average like 50 fps or so in OE. to be fair though my modlist adds a LOT of new places and more importantly a fuckton of NPCs. i've read that's where the cpu starts getting bothered.
i've settled for keeping my game at 10.0, shadows and water shaders on, postprocessing on, and i lock my frames to 30 then use lossless scaling to framegen them to 60. this seems to work the best for me.

what references are there? surely just naming something balrog doesn't count, considering its neither a boxer nor a demon

>>712639174
There's also references to Chernobyl (the show).

You're wrong on that last bit. The thread of prophecy can explicitly be severed, so it wasn't always going to become true.

That one's actually based on unused concept art.
Also worth mentioning that Morrowind takes a lot of design inspiration from Star Wars (Todd is a huge fan OT) so a fat alien crime lord is something that could've very easily made it into the vanilla game

>>712642382
Every piece of Morrowind's concept art is beautiful. I could hang this on my wall.

>>712642382
Correct, and I wouldn't mind if it was the concept applied to Morrowind with its own spin. I do mind because it's a carbon copy of the Return of the Jedi location.

>>712644598
you're a carbon copy of a big gay faggot but you don't see me complaining

>>712644665
it's ok, dev-kun, just get it out of your system and make good content later

>>712640318
Not every nuclear reactor is a reference to Chernobyl

>>712646238
That one is, considering its operator's only dialogue is a much-memed line from the show.

>>712646578
it's half life reference

>>712644598
Comparing their presentation is more than fair, though, I think the writing is enough to set the Sload apart. Furthermore, if this were truly a "carbon copy" of RotJ you wouldn't be able to work for him at all.

>>712643526
Oh, specifically for screenshots. I usually cast a Night-Eye spell before screenshots just for that purpose, but this current character is an unga bunga barbarian who can't cast anything. Does MGE XE have a way to raise the gamma specifically for screenshots? Cause I'm too lazy to bother raising/lowering it every time.

1st playthrough has to be full vanilla right? save for OpenMW / Code Patch shenanigans

>>712654330
None of us is your boss, do what you like.

>>712646798
i was wondering what this was referencing

>>712654330
I always suggest that the first playthrough be vanilla just so one can get a feel for the basis of Morrowind and how all its mechanics work. But if you really want to use mods the first time, go for it. You can always try a vanilla playthrough some other time if you ever feel like it.

>>712654330
>has to be
I mean I'm not your mother, but how do you know what needs replacing if you've never tried the original?
Would you even know when something you don't like is actually a game issue or a mod issue?

Yes

>>712654330
Vanilla can't be 100% with a single character. I never bothered with TR before I've beaten the DLCs too, but that was a long time ago. Vanilla is more than enough for your first time playing. Mods are for people who want something new.

You didn't see any Chernobyl references because they aren't there!

What settings rape CPUs the hardest, mine is practically boiling playing this mod

>>712657437
on openmw or vanilla? shadows, regardless of what they're set to, makes your cpu eat shit on either. actor processing range can also be set to minimum for a huge boost and makes very little difference functionally. view distance can be demanding past 5.

if you're on vanilla, the per pixel lighting and shadow options are really demanding.

why not?

>>712658786
Conflicting faction missions. Sometimes you have to kill the quest givers of rival factions.

>>712659323
don't know why these threads aren't on /vg/ at this point.

>>712654330
No. Vanilla is deeply flawed and there is too much content for a single playthrough.
You should play modded right away. Up to you how much to mod, but you would need to be severely autistic to want to replay the game modded after beating it unmodded. It's hundreds of hours long and most of it will be identical.

>>712625061
Morrowind is the only franchise entry that matters. Kirk has made the most important game in history. It was only downhill for Bethesda after Mw anyway.
>>712659129
Sorry, no. The game was designed to be played multiple times.
>>712659323
Morrowind fans are more excited for TR releases than anything Bethesda releases.

>>712588779
Just follow one of the modding-openmw guides for a modlist with groundcover. You just need to put the .esps in the folder, copy the config, run groundcoverify and append the files and folders it generates

>>712659595
There's not enough consistent posters for it. There's probably 20 or so anons that actively post screens of what they're playing but only 3 or 4 consistent posters.

this town will be mine some day

>>712660040
The main quest, faction quests that overlap, and side quests don't change. The exploration doesn't change. Even the combat doesn't change (still just run up and smack them for anyone with a weapon).
The only things that change are conflicting factions, which is a definite minority of content.

>>712659595
Have you seen the Elder Scrolls general?
HAHAHAHAHAH

>>712659595
don't know why you give a shit when an actual VIDEO GAME is being discussed daily as opposed to daily AI and porn threads.

>>712660321
not really. what about it?

>>712660124
Still clinging to your delusions, Rolstonfag? What even drove you to suddenly start posting in the TR threads anyway? Just as everybody was starting to forget you too...

>>712660635
It's a cesspit of virgins posting screenshots of their modded porn-game tier OC whores. No discussion of the game, mechanics or lore to be had. A waste of time.

>>712660635
It's nothing but skyrim coomers posting their modded waifus, these threads are of an infinitely higher quality, thats why we're here instead of there.

>>712660726
A daily Morrowind thread is way better than having to tolerate those /tesg/ normies. TES games made after Morrowind don't interest me anyway. There's place in my heart for Daggerfall, though.
>>712660820
I don't get why they waste time here instead of just posting on Loverslab, that site was made for sexy TES screenshots.

>>712658786
>why not
The aforementioned exclusive outcomes, faction skill/stat requirements that extend the playthrough and stretch the character beyond any sense of reason and place, and the simple fact that you can't join more than one great house without serious glitching, thus having to choose only one of three long questlines.

>>712660635
Skyrim coomer slop, no one plays games there. If you wanted actual game discussion like here you'd have to create a new general and it would either get ignored or raided

>>712661012
I think we ought to post about Daggerfall, too, if we want. It's a fair place for it.

>>712660726
i checked once and there was a guy posting screenshots of his morrowind playthrough every 10 hours or so with no replies
the only other place people discuss this game here is /vrpg/ but that entire board gets less traction than just one of these daily threads

Are Morrowind's expansions even good or worthwhile?

>>712661440
No honestly they kind of suck. Tribunal at least has mods but Bloodmoon's shit out of luck.

>>712661440
They're pretty fucking bad desu

>>712661523
>>712661525
Easy skip then. I liked the main game enough so I'll leave it at that.

>>712661440
Not really. I kind of like the Raven Rock questline in Solstheim but the expansions are noticeably lower quality than the main game, I feel.

>>712661440
tribunal is a necessity to cap off a main quest playthrough for lore purposes, then you could really cap it off with the closure of the epilogue quests from TR. it is however, very short, the locations are tiny and repetitive, and it doesn't really have anything interesting go on until the last few quests.

bloodmoon is a bit better, a change of aesthetic for one, but it's completely irrelevant to any plot threads from the base game. it's self-contained. decent hook for the story, but a bit dry in presentation. it's certainly longer than tribunal and the sidequests are much better, like building your own colony, but all in all its main quest has the same issue where it's a snoozefest until the very, very end.

they were both rushed out and it shows.

>>712661440
They're good enough for you to do at the end of your playthrough once. I wouldn't ever complete them again though

>>712661440
Tribunal has some main quest mods (including Sotha Sil Expanded) but you have to suffer through dumb shit for almost all of it to get to those and apparently a lot of the main quest fixes there are buggy. It's at least got some neat armors and items.

Bloodmoon is just shit.

10/10 experience

>>712661440
No. They're very old school. They're meant to challenge the experienced players by placing them in dungeons with enemies with extreme stats. They're seriously difficult. There's even a very annoying timed quest. The worst thing about them is they don't fit in the game narrative well, being almost mod-tier.

>>712661858
lmao

>>712661440
they were made by the b-team at bethesda at the time. you know how around that era of games, some games would get expansions but from different developers, and you could tell the quality and overall tone just didn't quite match? it's like that, except bethesda is still responsible. i still personally think they're worth a go-around once ever but maybe that's just 'cause i suffered through them. you'd honestly probably be better off just reading what happens and moving on to something else.

>>712662326
It's not the difficulty people complain about.

>>712661710
Doing the trials for the Skaal in Bloodmoon was a horrific slog. Whoever thought it was a great idea to have packs of animals and berserks on every centimeter of the island is a god damn moron.

The traffic analytics for tamriel-rebuilt.org show a recent spike in bot activity.
From visit length to frequency of visits suggests they are cooking the books a bit.

Even with the obvious bot use it is still not getting much traffic. What is their endgame?

>>712668616
Maybe they’re after funding or donations. If some sponsor sees a spike, huge numbers, they might funnel cash in. Even with stagnant real interest, they can boast about insane reach... Or it’s a PR stunt so they can say “Look at these fucking numbers!” when they pitch to other modders, podcasts, or Bethesda at some event.

holy shit thanks for the warning

I want to give Morrowind a fair try but am an adhd retard who's constantly bitching about wasting skills/picking the right ones

So at this stage does it really matter if I don't use skills often? Like if I go mysticism/alteration but don't use them that often, same with conjuration, etc

Like if I'm level 10 or something and near the midgame is that too low. I know there's no real scaling so it's not going to be a fuckery like Oblivion (never got into skyrim so can't compare) but ultimately I just need to know if it'll be normal to have like 5 skills at enar max and the rest around 50 or 60 at most

also is there any leveling mod for OpenMW that makes leveling not be the autistic scramble to max endurance and also if it can calculate health retroactively too please

>>712669529

>>712670056
Morrowind is extremely forgiving. If you want to change your build use the trainers to adjust on the fly.
Morrowind doesn't punish you at all after the first hour or so.

>>712670223
>>712670224
Okay thanks, I'm using the newest build so I hope it works

>>712670056
Morrowind is ADHD af, bro. You're always jumping around, flying, shooting things, bashing them with huge weapons, exchanging thousands of coins...
Just steal my build. You can max out all attributes if you don't mind being very weak early on. You can almost never level up unintentionally like this. The secret is to never level up unless you will increase 5 points of 3 attributes, never increase skills from more than 3 attributes.

This worked. It picks up "YsadoraHat" but not "YsadoraHatH" which is the one given using the last version. Exact same item ID outside of the "H".

>>712670056
It doesn't matter. When you are rich you can just pay to train your lower level skills if you want to, there isn't much scaling going on (just some higher level enemies start spawning in places) and you'll become powerful from your equiment anyway

You can see the site traffic from the day it was created till now.

It is a simple line chart that anyone with a decent public education could read.
In its 21 year run the site has never had the traffic it had in Apr. Given the visit duration and the frequency of visits suggests bots were used to inflate site traffic.

It wasn't for money or a product release so the other obvious option is trying to piggyback off of the remaster.

Is there another possibility you can think of? Do you think a 21 year old project without a major milestone release just became randomly more popular than it has ever been?

>>712671117
For what it's worth their web guy has been complaining here and there about increased traffic from webcrawlers, so you might be accidentally correct about the bot thing. But the main cause of a spike in late april/early may would probably be, you know, the massive content release 1/3 the size of the entire original game that happened on may 1st (preceded by a couple weeks of teasers).

This had nothing to do with the oblivion remastered release. The dev cycle for Grasping Fortune was 4+ years, and they never pick release targets until they think they're just a couple of months out. They picked may 1st because of an in-joke with the senior devs; "may 1st" had for years been Mort's joke answer every time a random came in asking for a date for the next release.

>>712673175
I'm serious, take them.

>>712672654
...they had a major milestone release literally in the time period you're sperging out about though

>The demaster flopped and was forgotten in a week
>This is somehow TR's fault

>>712673343
Do you not understand what a major milestone is? Updates are not major milestones. New DLC is a major milestone.
The traffic bump for updates is consistent for TR.ORG until the Apr bump.

You can tell rolstonfag is genuinely perplexed by the fact oblivion remastered threads are already gone whilst TR threads are still going strong, poor little aspie

>>712673298
>Pick any site traffic tracker
Bro are you serious? They're all rough estimates, that data is not something sites have to divulge.
I thought you meant TR just published that shit somewhere on the site I didn't notice.
The first one I picked didn't show any change from the trend at all in april btw, neither positive nor negative.

>>712673810
That is why I said pick one you trust.
If you trust the one you picked then show me where I am wrong.

>>712674206
According to the site traffic I am not alone.

>>712586178
>that haven't been seen since Redguard.
for good reason

>Could it be that a lot hype has been built for Narsis release through marketing, Anvil release and popular youtubers making videos about TR and PT?
>No! It has to be a sinister conspiracy to steal players from Oblivion demastered!

>>712674559
I'm deeply sorry lil buddy, but you most certainly are, since everybody else is smart enough to connect the dots between TR having its biggest release yet and more traffic coming in as a result

>>712652252
>Lord Brinne also received similar tributes in other games that were in development at the time: Might and Magic VIII, Deus Ex and Ultima IX: Ascension.
Damn this nigga was big in every community at the time

>>No! It has to be a sinister conspiracy to steal players from Oblivion demastered!
What so funny about this is what would botting site traffic even fucking do for them? Boost it in searches when it only pops up when you specifically look for it anyways?

>>712675050
Do you want a list of sites with more traffic than TR.org? I don't think you do.
I would stop this dick waving contest if I were you. There is a pitfall ripoff fansite that wouldn't have to pull it all out to beat TR.org visitor number.

>>712675498
It's not a "dickwaving contest" you fucking retard, I'm telling you the answer for your moronic question, the site had a traffic spike in april and may because they actually did have one of your so-called milestone releases, not because they were buying bots to leech from the oblivion remaster or whatever the fuck you seem to believe

>>712668616
that was me i was perusing the claims browser and forum, sorry for the scare.

>>712675383
I don't think the remaster and TR are competitors. They aren't fighting for the same audience. TR seems to trying to leech off of the remaster launch to gain publicity.
Just like you tubers not their views to boost views they seemed to have done the same thing with site traffic.
If they are botting it will start dropping precipitously soon. By the end of Jun they should be back to pre Apr numbers.

>>712675934
Sub 2 minute per visit with less than 2 pages per visit is indicative of bot use.

>>712676160
i will be frank their interior claims pages are not very interesting

>It's not only TR! Several youtubers must all be in on it too!
>Why do you tell me to take my medication?

reminder, this is what autism does to a motherfucker

>>712676350
The sainted infographic.
Does every shift have the same folder?

>>712676023
>If they are botting it will start dropping precipitously within the timeframe in which you can expect most people to have exhausted grasping fortune content
Lmao, convenient.

>>712676259
What YouTubers are in on it?
Not even manyatruenerd talks about TR. He caters to the grumpy old gamers so if anyone was in it would be him.

>>712676665
Your public education is showing.
Shame you can't sue your school.

>>712676023
Again, literally what would they gain by botting their promotional website?
Like, you have this dipshit theory to explain the spike in site visitors but no explanation as to why when you are dismissing the mountain of reasons as to why it ACTUALLY had the spike.
Do you not realize how fucking retarded you sound?
>Blue is blue
>"ACKSHULLY blue is red."
>Why would blue be red
>"That's where it gets really sticky, I have no idea and I intend to get to the bottom of it."

>>712676702
Warlockracy and JustBackgroundNoise are two big ones who have made recent content about TR and PT

>>712677286
Literallywho?

>>712677003
Reading comprehension not your strong suit I see.

>>712677417
Oh and add Joov to that

>>712677524
>Just like you tubers not their views to boost views they seemed to have done the same thing with site traffic.
Okay, explain why they would bot the website. Please, I really want to know your theory.
Oh I get it, because site metrics are just as public as youtube views or twitter vie- oh wait no they aren't.
It must be to boost their search ranking except it shows up only when you search for Tamriel Rebuilt anyways.

>>712673942
It's just abot's guar mounting/storage mod with the openmw patch. The mounting is bad but i guess the walking storage helps a lot.

>>712672023
seeing young neloth is cool though but yeah, they're just assholes. I wish Indoril / Dres were explored too since if youre playing lawful good, Redoran is automatically the choice

Another 500 reply Morrowind thread. Let's see how the oblivion remastered threads are doing.
Oh wait there are none.

>>712678382
People are playing the remaster not talking about it.
TR does not suffer from that.

>>712678382
it's those damn site bots

>>712677785
> I don't understand how algorithms work.
No wonder you like ancient games. New things seem to confuse you.
A question.
Do you think everyone gets recommended Morrowind videos on YouTube?

>>712678495
>People are playing the rema -ACK

>>712678768
Thank TRannies for these shameful numbers.

>>712678768
Still dwarfs TR player numbers.
> How could you know that.
The one guy that might play it is here arguing with me.

>>712678938
Lmao sure, see you in the next Morrowind thread you autistic faggot, or maybe if you're lucky someone will make one of them Skyrim civil war threads you love so much

>>712676350
Damn this feels like the anti Final Fantasy IX autist all over again
