Why does Morrowind filter so many new players?
it's boring as fuck, not everyone is into that surprisingly
>>716508463 (OP)its a spellcasting game and so many new players go down the melee combat route
>>716508463 (OP) Because Morrowind doesnโt coddle you. No quest markers, dice roll combat, dialogue that makes you read, and a world that just throws you in and says โfigure it out.โ It's a CRPG disguised as an open-world adventure, and most newer players come in expecting Skyrim with floaty jumps and instead get a D&D sim with cliff racers. If youโre not ready to immerse and adapt, itโll eat you alive.
even morrowcucks agree that you have to play the game in a very specific inorganic way to "enjoy" it
looks like the vast bulk of humanity agreed with Todd that the Morrowind model was trash, it can go in the pile of forgotten malformed stepping stones along with Arena and Daggerfall
>>716509004>even morrowcucks agree that you have to play the game in a very specific inorganic way to "enjoy" itWhat way is that?
I dare a single Morrowind fan to convince me that mobs not having health bar is a good thing.
>>716508463 (OP)I only got filtered by Gothic
I tried both 1 and 2 and could never get into them, but I never had any problem with Morrowind
the beginning is so bad that it gives a bad first impression
>>716509534it makes it too easy knowing how tough an enemy is just by attempting to attack it
>>716509534>mobs not having health bar is a good thing.What game does that? Because it ain't morrowind
>>716508463 (OP)it doesn't look good by today's standards. Why should I waste my time on something so old and seemingly so boring when I could just spend my time doing something more fun, pretty, and maybe even rewarding? In the end it all comes down to presentation
>>716508463 (OP)because it's a shit game
the only redeemable qualities that game has is it's atmospheric world and the hecking wacky lore
everything else is dogshit
>>716509542Because Gothic games are not RPG, they're shitty action games
>>716509619It's crazy to me they never fixed the assassins from the tribunal expansion jumping you early on with their economy destroying armor
morrowkeks defend this of course
>>716508463 (OP)Drab brown empty map.
Drab brown empty interiors.
It's got cool stuff but traversing the map really bummed me out.
>>716509969Literally no one defends that. What is it about morrowind that makes people that hate it make up blatant lies about it all the time?
>>716509969I just didn't use it.
People just pretend Morrowind filters people so they can look hardcore when in reality it's an extremely casual and accessible game.
>>716509969Never been an issue for me, they're just an easy source of money and gear in the early game.
>>716509969They fixed it for xbox, pc plebs eat it up and defend it
>>716510234That's the problem. It also make no sense lore story wise. I usually play morrowind mostly unmodded, but delayed expansion is a mod I always install.
>>716509534They do. It's the yellow one that shows up
Morrowfags really are the shittiest section of the entire TES fanbase. Which is fitting because the game is all about dunmer, the shittiest race of hypocrites and liars.
I actually enjoy Morrowind quite a bit but Morrowfags are pure cancer.
>>716508463 (OP)It's an IQ test.
>>716509969The delayed expansions mod gets recommended in pretty much every newbie guide for MW. Not only because of the armour but it also doesn't make much sense for them to appear before you start doing the trials.
>>716508463 (OP)Becuase most normalfags don't play with mods and the game is bad vanilla.
>>716510381I like to tell me that the brotherhood kills anyone who is sent from the mainland by the empire and isn't enrolled in the imperial army or administration.
>>716509534They do have health bars?
Did you even play the game?
>>716508463 (OP)it requires exactly one thought to play, something modern TES fans are incapable of
>>716509542Even Joe Peach managed to beath them both
>>716510745But enough about Daggerfall
>Game is bad and boring
>Durr hurr you just got filtered
Not how that phrase works. You're just proving how retarded Morrowindfags truly are.
>>716508463 (OP)As someone who tried it recently
It has some soul in it but it was too slow, clunky, and boring to keep me invested. You move too fucking slow, the enemies are mainly bugs and flying pterodactyl things
>>716510867I've always held that the game is good and boring but I can't defend the game because a pack of autofellating retards always show up to yap about how the game is le 190IQ
It's embarrassing
>>716509004It's so fucking annoying hearing all the Morrowind people constantly saying "yeah dude you're supposed to suck at literally everything until you make a spell or enchant to be a god at everything" "you're supposed to walk unbearably slow for hours until you hack it with an enchant and can jump across the map".
I've modded every single system in the game so they're actually balanced and it's always hilarious watching my die hard OG Morrowind friends eventually admit that yes the game is better when all the systems are actually balanced linearly
>>716508463 (OP)Two much small text and unappealing combat. If you go with a "let's play and have fun" and don't have 'fun' in the first couple of minutes... hours... the logical leap is "woah, this game in shit". Worst if they try to play the game for the first time using mods despite not knowing nothing about mods nor the game.
>>716509516Sucking at everything till you make a spell or enchant to be a god at everything. "End game god mode" is the stated "best part" of the game according to virtually everyone that praises Morrowind.
>>716509534That hasn't been a problem since Tribunal. The fuck.
>>716511171>>716511454Despite me saying this I will add though that modded Morrowind is literally the best RPG ever
>>716511454Are these people in the room with us right now? Also if you suck at everything until you get some op enchanted gear then I dunno what to tell you. I've done no enchanting warrior runs and if anything the game is balanced around that.
>>716511171>It's so fucking annoying hearing you're supposed to suck at everything until you make a spell or enchant to be a godwhy? that's literally the journey in Morrowind
>>716511667They just showed up! Lmao
>>716511793
>>716510058Melee attacks having a chance of missing when everything else seems to work fine is a game breaking feature and is utterly disgusting to tolerate. Casting can only fail if something is too high a level or you don't have enough mana. The disparity of effectiveness rubs your face in how irritating the *missed* sound is.
It doesn't matter that you can increase a skill to basically turn the feature off. It's fucking retarded. It's just an absolutely dumb as fuck mechanic. It's indefensibly stupid and annoying. It's almost universally hated. I have even seen Morrowindfags admit it's a silly stonewall for new players when everything else is so much more intuititve and welcoming.
No Morrowindfag can accept this. The world around them is totally inconceivable to them.
The melee combat ruins the game. Period. No arguments.
>>716511793Why the HELL would you suck at WALKING?
Should start you off as a toddler in that case
>>716511454I literally beat morrowind easily with spear and athletics only. You are just shit at games and require broken stuff to play them.
no quest markers was enough for me to drop it. the ui sucks balls too.
>>716508703>CoddleNah there's plenty of games with brutal ass learning curves that are popular as well.
Morrowind is just old school boring and wears that on it's sleeve. If it wasn't for the Kirkbride weirdness it would receive about as much posting as Daggerfall (i.e. never talked about until people want to feel unique)
>>716508463 (OP)Because it sucks ass
>>716511454Uh bro when you create your character if you allocate your stats properly you'll never have any issue, sure you'll get flattened by an orc with a daedric hammer and an orcish armor unless you use magic and/or potions but that's kind of logical
Genuine answer:
Slow burn game that builds up to an anti-climactic ending with the mysterious big-bad guy giving about 1.5 monologues before being emasculated, humiliated, and deposed. Without experiencing all of this within the first 10 minutes of the game the modern gamer is completely confused about the lack of instant gratification and loot boxes.
>>716511793>>716511667it's such a funny thing to say because enchanting stuff in Morrowind is less mandatory than in Oblivion because of how enemy scaling goes insane in in the latter.
>>716511913you don't suck at walking, you suck at RUNNING, which is why you level Athletics while running. you think people don't train their ability to run long distances?
>>716511016Same

>>716508703>itโll eat you aliveMorrowind is one of my GOATs, probably second after Bloodborne, but it's never been hard.

>>716511913what do you mean, you walk fine. but most players run in the game, and yes, you start off not great at running
>>716512040SKYRIM IS DOGSHIT
YOU ARE PROVING HOW FUCKING RETARDED MORROWINDFAGS ARE YET AGAIN
YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE
JUST SCHIZOPHRENIC ACCUSATIONS
FUCK
YOU
>>716509770The graphics are old but the vibes are still great. It's a very well designed game world and that doesn't age.
>>716512040I actually played the game and the fact all you can say "abloo abloo Skyrim exists" is truly pathetic.
Skyrim fucking sucks by the way. Worst quest design next to Fromsoft.
>>716511872the problem with melee dice rolls in morrowind isn't that they exist, it's that feedback to whiffs is unclear if you don't know that the only thing you get is the audio cue. So people unfamiliar with the game end up frustrated because unlike many other RPGs, both japanese and western, there's no visual cue to the missed attack, be it a text popup of the miss or an animation of the attack missing (unless the enemy has a shield and they block the attack, but that's technically you landing the hit, but the block roll succeeding in blocking that hit as far as I know)
>2025

>>716512217>SKYRIM IS DOGSHITLet me guess, you like Oblivion, right?
>>716508463 (OP)unintuitive gameplay
>>716512363>the problem is that players are retardedYeah that sums up the whole downward evolution of video games.
>>716511872It adds another dimension to combat than just damage. People are upset with it because they build a longsword character and then wonder why they miss axe attacks.
>>716512040>Muh Skyrim>Just level up the skillYou are a disgrace. It's a shit mechanic and you didn't read the post you're replying to.
>>716512431Not him but Morrowind > Oblivion > Skyrim
>>716509542That's because you didn't play the best one, 3
>>716512431You have no defense. Just schizophrenic accusations. It's over.
Do as you're told and stop arguing.
>>716512680Nope. Enjoy playing skyrim.
>>716512531No. It makes the combat clunky, unintuitive, and gay.
No arguments can be made against that and never have. It's a critical fundamental flaw that goes against everything else in the game.
Morrowindfags can only cope.
It's still one of the best games ever made though
>>716508463 (OP)It has a lot of obtuse and poorly designed elements that people wrap up in their own ego for having broken a slightly undercooked early 2000's RPG. The dark truth that Morrowind fans will never be able to accept is that Oblivion is far closer to matching what Bethesda wanted Elder Scrolls to be about then Morrowind ever was.
>>716512802Pathetic. Proving everyone right again.
>>716512497naw I like morrowind and I think feedback on melee is lackluster. I think a good solution would be a combat log sort of like Shadow Tower (pic related), where the damage you inflicted would appear like, in the corner of the screen. Put that above the enemy health bar and just have a "miss" show up when you whiff and the problem is solved.
I see now, Morrowind is truly the Rick and Morty of Western RPGs
>>716511171I love TES games and I'll never defend any of their gameplay mechanics, it's all complete dogshit from TESI to TESV
To me the games have always been about playing around the shitty mechanics (and bugs) in order to enjoy the world. Modding helps but the games are all so inherently crippled there's only so much you can do.
People actually defending any TES at a gameplay level are braindamaged
Lurker here,
If the melee system is so good then why was it changed in later games?
Get fucked, autists.
>>716512883>The dark truth that Morrowind fans will never be able to accept is that Oblivion is far closer to matching what Bethesda wanted Elder Scrolls to be about then Morrowind ever was.I don't think that's very hard to accept at all, doesn't mean that bethesda's true vision of what TES should be is a better game however.
>>716512883That is not a positive thing. Oblivion butchered the series.
MW isn't for everyone. The fanbase rightfully enjoys it but when the memes reach the normies that want to play it they get megafiltered.
>>716513014>man on /v/ who has never heard of casualization lol
>>716512956It really is.
Everyone I know that insists it's the best TES are all arrogant pricks that are never wrong about anything and constantly try to preach leftist politics.
>>716512840You haven't made a legitimate argument against it. On the other hand my argument is that it shows a clear difference in skill between characters, a character with a longsword skill of 30 will have a completely different flow to fights than one with a skill of 100 when using longswords. On the other hand in future TES games all combat flows the same basically.
Gothic had a better implementation of a similar idea, where your weapon skill changes how you wield it. I don't know if any other game has done that.
>>716513173>constantly try to preach leftist politicswell that came out of nowhere and now I don't really believe you
What is it about this game that makes some people seethe so uncontrollably?
>>716513123>>716513162>So easy a toddler can use it. Just point and click>All you have to do is put points into the skill you use and the feature literally turns off>This is a monumental hyper intelligent task to morrowindfags>It's still just bad and unfun no matter what>"durrr hurr it was actually hardcore" yet again being spoutedIt's genuinely funny how stereotypical Morrowindfags are.
>>716513256Yeah morrwindfags are totally not annoying wrong faggots you're right.
>>716513256I kinda do, one of the chief leftard redditor obsessions in Skyrim was the "mistreatment" of dunmer refugees in windhelm. And of course dunmer are incredibly popular among the tumblr crowd despite being gigachuds ingame. And then of course the Kirkbride cult is predominantly a redditor phenomenon.
>>716513404People fear what they can't understand
>>716513483That doesn't explain it. There's plenty of shit games that don't make people froth at the mouth like this.
>>716513256That's what Rick and Morty fans do, retard.
You're just playing "boogeyman" right now. You simply cannot possibly agree with someone who might be annoyed by your bullshit politics. It's clear as day.
Vermin.
>>716508463 (OP)It's outdated. That is what kept me away. I played like 30 mins and was both bored and put off by how old the game feels. That said, I know a lot of people hold this game in high regard. I just couldn't heck it.
>>716513632what are my politics
>>716513578they dont have autists trying to convince them every day how good they are.
>>716509004>specificI've done a bunch of playthroughs, none with optimized builds. That's been far more fun than doing the potion/int exploit.
>>716513236>On the other hand in future TES games all combat flows the same basically.NTA, but I dunno it feels kind of the same, except for the later TES games instead of just doing more damage to make the fights move quicker, in Morrowind you're more accurate with your swings, but still results in the same thing as fights just ending quicker. I think directional power attacks with unique effects do more to make combat more meaningful as you progress than just speeding up encounters, as your character is actually learning new techniques which can drastically effect how fights actually play out, like getting the ability to ragdoll people with a power attack. I think a fusion of both new combat techniques and dice rolls would make a very satisfying combat progression curve.
>>716512915I don't want to see "miss" on the screen bro. This problem never even occurred to me. It never crossed my mind that somebody might not know that they're missing.
>>716513707The ones you can't possibly believe are annoying and common in Morrowindfags such as yourself.
>>716513742but I voted for him? he's kinda fucking up right now though desu
>>716513741My most enjoyable playthrough was a nord grugg who refused to change out of iron armor but I'm not insane enough to think this would be fun to most people not to mention I couldn't have pulled it off without preknowledge of most of the game's systems
>>716513778>It never crossed my mind that somebody might not know that they're missing.you are in a morrowind thread on /v/ man, if you're going to lie for attention at least post something more believable.
>>716513842No you didn't. Nobody believes you.
>>716513970I believe him, Dunmer act like Israelis and we all know who Zion Don answers to
>>716513925>Suddenly can't readokay buddy
>>716514047hey it was still better than the alternative, unless you're saying I should've just sat it out
>>716513404It's close enough to Oblivion that they think it's going to work the same and so they have a 360 kid shitfit at the small ways it doesn't
>>716508463 (OP)lots of reasons like people getting filtered by the combat system. but probably the biggest reason is that modern gamers are used to being able to "do it all" in terms of stat distribution while the morrowind early game really wants you to be a specialist. n00bs get to the character creator and are like "oh destruction magic, that sounds good. and blades, obviously. i haven't seen spears in another TES game, lets level that too" etc etc and then they start the game being total dogshit at everything, missing every attack while they spam click with no stamina and doing no damage when they do hit. then they get frustrated, tell themselves it's just one of those shitty old games that need you to grind ants for 20 hours at the beginning of the game, and then they drop it
the average zoomer would enjoy the game much more if they just made their build around one weapon type and maybe one magic school and focused those until the game feels natural enough to start experimenting
>>716514151Easy lad, I didn't criticize you I merely stated the truth
>>716513874Fair, I've done something similar with going no armor and hand to hand. Going in blind, I know most people would want sword and board and expect it to steamroll.
>>716514040>>716514047Mad Morrowindfags falseflagging because they're upset they were called out as being indentical to Rick and Morty fans.
>>716508463 (OP)Because it requires reading comprehension to do anything. That's a big ask for gamers.
>>716513443>>This is a monumental hyper intelligent task to morrowindfagsConsidering most anti morrowind people here are using this as negative, i would say it is a herculean effort for people like you.
>>716514196>filtered Filtered is not used that way, retard.
The implication that anything about Morrowind is hard is laughable.
Opinion dismissed.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Morrowind. The lore is extremely intricate, and without a solid grasp of Tamrielic history most of the quests will go over a typical player's head. There's also Vivec's enigmatic philosophy, which is deftly woven into the game's worldbuilding - his sermons draw heavily from esoteric mysticism, for instance. The true fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the Nerevarine prophecy, to realize that it's not just a game - it says something profound about DESTINY. As a consequence, people who dislike Morrowind truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the brilliance of Dagoth Ur's cryptic dialogue, which itself is a masterful reference to ancient Dunmeri prophecy. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Todd Howard's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. :D And yes, by the way, I DO have a Tribunal tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the enlightened scholars' eyes only - and even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
>>716514328Finding the dwemer puzzle box was one of the hardest things I ever did in videogames thoughbeit
>>716509619the beginning is the best part. I keep making new characters because of this
>>716514316Actually no. They are all saying it's clunky boring and stupid but you have the IQ of a Morrowindfag so your reading comprehension is in the gutter.
It's okay. Everyone knows Morrowindfags are wrong. You don't need to argue.
We still love the game anyway.
>>716514369But see the thing is the lore is the one thing about Morrowind that is immaculate but these retards waste all their time justifying the shitty broken mechanics, boring gameplay and terrible pacing.
>>716511454The game sucks until you get the boots of blinding speed and 100% magic resist for 1 second spell on self
Everything after that point is great
>>716514167*like mostly the same near-gen-xers that like Morrowind like Gothic but its threads have 1/20th as many people filled with psychotic hate. And the ones that do get mad at it are all genuine slavs that bitch about everything rather than the huge number of 360 kid amerifats that hate Morrowind.
>>716514443>Morrowindfag can't even read nowHow did you beat the game then?
>>716509805always gets me
>>716512991>>716511667Found another lol. Idk how you've never heard people say this
>decide to finally play Morrowind as a conjuration spellblade, figure I could just conjure my weapons no problem but brace myself for a tough early game of spamming weak summons to get the skill I need to cast bound sword
>doesn't matter at all because bound longsword is cheap as fuck and requires very little conjuration or INT to cast
>spend the entire early game with a daedric weapon that fortifies my longblade skill so combat in the early game is the easiest it's ever been
this shit is busted, though I imagine eventually I'll have to get a real weapon and enchant it with some kind of on hit effect for the expansions
>>716514540I don't even know what point you are trying to make, are you ESL perhaps?
>>716514538what? I've never even played it
Morrowind was baby's first RPG back when it got released
The fact that it got turned into some hardcore classic instead of dogshit toddslop that it is just goes to show how bad the tastes of the average western RPG player are but you don't need morrowind to prove something like that
The popularity of garbage like WoW speaks for itself
>>716514328>Filtered is not used that way, retard.autism, it's used that way all the time you dumb faggot
>>716514513>More crying about boogeymen because you have no defense for the shit combatEveryone hates you because you are always smug arrogant cunts that genuinely believe your piss easy simpleton RPG is hardcore and hyper intelligent.
There is no specific boogeyman that is out to get you. You are not being unfairly hated by lesser beings.
You are just that unlikable and stupid.
You're the Dunmer of the TES fanbase.
It's kind of beautiful.
>pick Breton / High Elf (preferably Breton because Altmer get stuck running and jumping in tight hallways sometimes)

>>716514590>eventually I'll have to get a real weapon and enchant it with some kind of on hit effect for the expansions90% of the enemies in expansions have innate reflect so that on hit effect is only going to harm you
Bound weapons will carry you through all the content since you don't have to repair them and can just fortify strength -> break weapon on enemy -> summon new one
>>716514678I still remember the day I brought it home from Best Buy (employee discount) in its itty bitty box
The water and music was amazing
Rest of the game...well it's no Daggerfall that's for sure
>>716514662You should. It's really good.
It just has abysmally bad melee combat that might turn you away from the game. It can be fixed with mods or making a mage character.
>>716514658Guy says he hasn't heard anyone say Morrowind is meant to be fun when broken by players who get super OP. Two people in 10 minutes responded saying exactly that
>>716515017how does spell absorb interact with reflected damage? If it's a spell effect like fire damage on hit, can I absorb my own effect if it's reflected?
>>716508463 (OP)Shit game design. Unfortunately the industry overcompensated and now everything is too sterile.
>>716514768No. That's the way it's used by braindead retards who act smug about low quality unfun game design.
Filtered is meant to be the game was so difficult you literally could not get further.
Ninja Gaiden filters you.
Contra filters you.
Souls games filter you.
Dogshit game design that is unpleasant and boring does not and never will filter you BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SUPERIOR FOR TOLERATING IT.
You are not just wrong. You're stupid.
>>716515117None of the combat is good. The game gets better as you get stronger because you can end combat encounters faster and get back to what the game is actually good at, exploring and questing.
I don't even understand how the combat is so unpleasant considering its mechanically identical to Daggerfall, it just is. Totally cursed.
>>716514985You can make any mage and have a piss easy time in Morrowind.
It's not a hard or intellectual game. I have seen literal non-verbal autistic retards play and enjoy it.
Morrowindfags are hated so much because they insist they are superior when they are merely autistic.
>>716515307interesting, thanks for the tips anon I'll keep that in mind. funnily enough I had already tagged Restoration as a major skill just for the self heals but fortify strength is an easy get
>>716511454I beat the game as an assassin my first go. My Daedric Wakizashi and glass armor made me a killing machine alone, no min/max number crunching.
>>716515393It lacks feedback. The only change in a successful swing is a sound and a puff of blood. No recoil, no animation, rarely staggers. It's just bad and lame.
Mowrrowindfags just can't handle how universally the combat is hated.
They have to remain superior, smart, and hardcore no matter what.
It's a real shame because I'm sure it has driven people away from actually trying it.
>>716515434Restoration is the tits because it can fortify stats.
Only game I didn't major in it was Oblivion because the leveling up system in that game is cancer and AIDS combined.
>>716515742True. I had to quit my VR playthrough because the lack of feedback is even more horrible with motion controls and I was having trouble finding any up to date compatible mods to fix it because Morrowfags religiously believe in the purity of diceroll combat.
>>716515294>he got filtered by morrowindlol cry moar, skyrim baby
>>716515742>It lacks feedback.>successful swing is a sound and a puff of bloodThis is what Skyrim does to your brain.
>>716515904>Sees a post saying the issue is feedback, not the dice rolls themselves>starts to seethe about dice rolls unpromptedlol
>>716515393>considering its mechanically identical to DaggerfallDaggerfall has better weighted hit chances
the MISS MISS MISS meme doesn't happen because if you're not hitting enemies and killing them, you're taking hits yourself and dying while in morrowind you can spend minutes trading MISSES
then there is the "hold to charge attack" mechanic which further slows the pace of the combat. Higher tiers of weapons don't have higher minimum damage but higher maximum one which means you have to hold "charge" them for longer to get the most out of them.

This is why everyone pounces on Morrowindfags. It's a great game but you guys suck.
>>716516096Oblivion has it too, you pathetic arrogant retard.
So predictably stupid it's sad.
>>716516269do you think games with dice rolls can't have good feedback on those rolls?
>>716516214don't they have the same cancerous tokenshit leveling system
I fucking hate what skyrim did but at least they finally ditched those fucking tokens
>>716516396Okay this is funny, I'm not even going to explain what you got wrong
>>716516150Dumb morrowindfag vermin.
>>716516509because you can't
>>716516170I assure you it doesn't. You'll never believe it though because you are a delusional retard.
The funniest thing about morrowfags is watching them invert all their arguments whenever Daggerfall comes up
>>716516414Oblivion had some subtle changes which made the levelling worse and the level scaling is a lot more pervasive in it. Its greatest flaw is that it forces you to engage with its mechanics.
Morrowind's mechanics are just as half baked and haphazardly put together but most people don't even bother engaging with them so they don't realize how badly designed it is.
>>716508463 (OP)They don't understand the Major, Minor, Misc skill system and dump all combat skils into Misc and think they'll roleplay with speech and get hard-filtered by the combat system because of it.
>>716516707Half the skills not being useful isn't supposed to be a feature
there is only ONE feature in morrowind that hasn't been better done since and that's lack of fucking quest compass arrow, so all quest dungeon locations had to be correctly spelled out in journal and you gotta actually follow the written directions. Doing exploration like this is a lot of fun that you can't get with compass.
written text in dialogs in morrowind is better than in skyblivion, but those games can *show* you shit instead of writing about it, so it doesn't count
everything else including combat is better in later games
I am happy to know that even in the far and dark year of 2050 Morrowind will be filtering /v/ermin.
what if I like all the games
>>716516835>so all quest dungeon locations had to be correctly spelled out in journal and you gotta actually follow the written directionsyeah I love not having to explore the game on my own and all quests devolving into just following a glorified walkthrough
>>716516908even battlespire?
>>716516795cmon man, try a little harder that that
>>716516908then you by definition can't be a morrowfag
>>716516414It's similar but when you hit max level the tokens stop accruing, making it so you have to build those tokens with bizarre skill usage or grinding that breaks the flow of the game completely.
It basically forces you to use everything you don't actually want to use if you are playing on a high difficulty and need to keep your base stats as tight as possible.
It's the WORST level up system in the franchise.

didn't like it on pc when i tried it later
>>716508463 (OP)looks and plays like ass, only redeeming feature is "muh wacky zacky lore" which really only has as much depth and "weirdness" as the jizz wailers and bombad racers from star wars.
>>716513404Nobody seethes about the game. It's more about its fandom which is full of pedantic cunts who think you need 300iq to understand a simple single player rpg.
Then the same people tell you "go play league of legends zoomer" when in reality league is objectively 50 times more mathematically complex to understand than morrowind and that just talking about the rpg features like stats and effects
>>716516685I only thing I really hold against daggerfall is the really bad implementation of the main quest and world design. the scale is impressive, but because of that scale is basically necessitates fast travel, and because you can fast travel to basically any location in the game exploration is a non-factor, not that's there is anything interesting to find.
>>716517412>I'm not seething, I'm just mad that I got called a zoomer who likes League of Legendslmao
>>716517320>I want convenience>mindbroken by tranniesyes, if you're a fatherless autist zoomer you should play later games, there's nothing in morrowind for you
>>716517412The anti morrowind schizo who loves oblivion is a league fan.
You can't make this shit up.
>>716517424Daggerfall is my favorite but I'll always inform people that the mechanics are totally fucked and the game actively hates you and its not for everyone because its more of a roleplay sandbox than a game and that you have to either run a specific build to kill your way out of privateer's hold or just run to the exit screaming
>>716508668This post is straight up wrong. Spellcasting in Morrowind sucks. Melee is way better. Magic in Morrowind can be powerful but thats mostly through enchants or alchemy
>>716517645>convenience is when you have to discover how to get to the location yourself>instead of getting all the directions spelled out to you by text dump NPCsMorrotroons are getting dumber every year
>>716517694I never got into League but I think he has a point, ASSFAGGOTs players are mechanically like gods compared to CRPG munchkins who rely on abusing stats against very slow predictable AIs

>>716518067He is right and you haven't played the game
>>716518021morrowind has a public transit system that only brings you to specific locations, which is a much better system than just teleporting to every marked location on the map, as it still requires you to traverse the world to reach certain places

I hope you'll find a tranny for yourself anon eventually so you could obsessing about them

>>716518659>the directions you get from journal are far from precisethey literally tell you the exact direction to take from landmarks
The only time they aren't precise is when they are completely wrong because its a poorly made game
>>716518784exact direction can be something like, north east of X place yeah? you still need to search around the north east of whatever place they point you to

>>716508463 (OP)It's actually kinda boring, the quests suck (Even if speedreading text is somehow more engaging than Skyrim cutscenes), combat is either unga bunga statcheck or using spells (and waiting hours after every single encounter), dungeons are somehow more repetitive than Oblivion's and in the end character builds don't matter when every build eventually converges into enchantment spam making you immortal and making the game boring as shit as a result

>>716508463 (OP)If you play this game without mods you deserve your shitty experience. Every single complaint in this game can be fixed with a simple mod, often with an MWSE mod which doesn't even require an actual mod installation and can be "uninstalled" (removed from the MWSE folder) at a moments notice without doing anything bad to your save file.
Combat especially can be fixed with a single mod that improves every single aspect of it immensely. And then preferably another mod to make the AI even better here are those two mods.
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/51034
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49670
And here's a marksman overhaul for good measure
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/49657
And I'll throw in a total level system overhaul which completely removes that absolutely horrendous "making sure you spam skills enough to get +5 (x3) when leveling up". It's literally just a retarded chore that ruins the flow of the game every 10 skill levels.
So here is a complete overhaul that removes all that bullshit letting you simply.....play the game! At exactly the leveling pace you want as well, I personally level much slower than vanilla
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47452
With these four mods alone the game is automatically twice as good as vanilla. And they're all MWSE mods which means installing and uninstalling is as simple as dragging and dropping the single mod folder into the MWSE "mods" directory. It's seriously so much better than any random mod potentially breaking your game if you just install it and decide you don't want it.
Post your favorite mods guys
>>716525621Definitely this one: https://files.catbox.moe/1fi886.ESP
Forget combat overhauls, bugfixes, or graphics enhancements, this is the only thing you need to truly enjoy Morrowind.

>>716525621i'm playing it on openmw with the "just beautiful morrowind" mod list.
it's pretty good with well made new places, many qol additions and slightly better looking textures but runs like ass in crowded areas like the new cities, dropping to a whopping 20-25 fps
>>716520918The mages guild literally gives you free mana potions, but thanks for proving the point that people who hate morrowind are just shit at gaming and need casual shit like skyrim to feel like a real gamer.
>>716525621This mod allows you to become a 1997 Honda Civic 1.6L Type R. It's a beautiful edition to the game for those who love JDM racing and Morrowind. Here is a video

>>716527732Arguing against RPG elements in an RPG is what's beyond pathetic. Just admit you can only play casual games.
Either majority of /v/ has never touched Morrowind or is full of attention whore faggots pretending to be retarded for Yous. I bet its the latter but sometimes I wonder with the shit you see written here.
>>716526625Guys. I just downloaded this file and now my steam deck is spewing mustard gas.
>>716527897So why do you start with clear vision?
Everything should be blurry until you train vision
Why can you hold anything? You should start dropping everything until you train grip strength
You should be deaf until you train hearing
You should also not be able to talk until you train your speech
Also you start being able to read? Why? Kingdom Come makes you learn to read
>>716527837yep, thats why I get the PvP mod linked here which adds dashing/active dodges for both players and NPCs and combine it with "No Fatigue Run Mod"
Here is the ultimate argument for why fatigue is retarded in Morrowind. "Stamina" is fine, "Fatigue" is not. Enemies have "Stamina" which can be drained until they run out and fall over or get stunned. The player has "Fatigue" which runs out when simply moving in combat and makes you collapse no matter when it's gone.
Enemies do not have "Fatigue" they do not use any Stamina when running after the player. This creates a blatant and absurd power imbalance between opponents and the player since the player can never out run them and the enemy will never stop running after you. Here is the fix for that so that you can finally be at the same power level as every enemy in the game
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47891
and then I highly recommend grabbing this other mod to make the combat much more thrilling, interactive and overall balanced than Vanilla. It also, as I mentioned earlier, works amazingly with the "no fatigue running mod" because it allows you to dash/dodge and lets enemies do it too but unlike with running the enemies actually use up Stamina when dashing to chase after you.
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/51034
If you are not playing this game without mods, you don't deserve to enjoy it. Everything I've linked can fix your game and make it 10x better in about 10 minutes of work. Download the mods, drag and drop in the MWSE folder, thats it. Thats all you gotta do.
>>716528281I'll give these a try, I've already done my time slogging through vanilla several times so I've earned a break

I really love the adventure of it all, every time.
>>716527892look at these fucking RETARDS. Every single mod that actually changes the mechanics of the game for the better. Often doing crazy levels of scripting to make the game absurdly better like the PvP mod I've linked multiple times....these mods ALWAYS require MWSE.
You know what the top comment on 99% of MWSE mods is?
>"I REALLY WANT THIS FOR OPEN MW, PLEASE SIR WHY NO OPEN MW????"and then the mod maker has to inevitably respond
>"FOR THE HUNDRETH TIME YOU FUCKING IDIOTS - OPEN MW REFUSES TO INCORPORATE MWSE FOR SOME REASON AND MY MODS WILL NEVER BE COMPATIBLE UNTIL THE FIX THAT SHIT OR SOMEONE FORKS IT AND ALLOWS LUA SCRIPTING"When every MWSE mod has Open MW noobs begging for it to be made for Open MW you know what the correct choice is. And would you look at that? Here is a mod to make enemies chase you through doors, the only real benefit of Open MW now in MWSE versions too!
The hate on MWSE is so fucking stupid considering all the best mod makers say they won't use Open MW because it doesn't allow scripting of any kind. Why would you not want to use all the best mods and modders? There is literally no fucking reason to use Open MW unless you're doing multiplayer or you're so braindead you need someone else to set up everything for you
>>716528496I don't think that's up to you
>>716520290Sounds like they're right since the only retort is a shitpost.
>>716528384read this post I put above as well for my complete
>"fixes the biggest issues in the game, mod list"especially look into the final one linked "MULE (Mort's Ultimate Leveling Experience".
I can't imagine playing the game with that god awful requirement to make sure you get +5 every level up. It's so much better when you just....don't have to deal with that absolute chore.
The one thing you will need to make sure to do if you install everything I linked is that you turn off the "increase enemy attacks/attack speed" option in the "Ultra AI" mod because it's not necessary with the PvP mod linked above it installed. The PvP mod does the same thing with more specificity and customizability (they're made by the same guy).
Also you obviously need MWSE installed and not Open MW. After that feel free to look at the options in the PvP mod to find your sweet spot. You can even turn the attack speed up to, basically 11/10, and make it so every sword fight in the game is an ultra intense swashbuckling extravaganza akin to the Pirates of Caribbean movies. Thats basically where it is by default, I lower the settings so it's a bit less intense but still dramatically more active and fun than vanilla combat.
>>716528384this post, sorry forgot to link it
>>716524989
>>716528707I don't know much about Unity, but I wonder why OpenMW doesn't allow scripting
>>716528965sure, I'm just saying, if it gets remastered, we'll have to deal with tourists for the rest of time
>>716529203modders seem to be just as confused why they don't allow it. I think I've heard it's because they're focused on multiplayer and if they allowed scripting it could fuck up any chance of the multiplayer working maybe?
I don't even know the modders themselves always sort of throw shade on the devs and make it clear that they believe they COULD allow MWSE scripting but they just wont.
Earlier today I was reading a comment about someone explaining exactly what would be required for someone to fork OpenMW and enable LUA scripting/MWSE in it. They said it would require a lot of intense C++ coding but they again seemed to say that the OpenMW devs could have done this themselves but refused to for some reason and they weren't very happy about it.
all the coolest mods are MWSE though. Like, Open MW has a lot of content mods but mods which physically edit the way the game is played can basically only be used on MWSE not OpenMW. Like this mod is part of a series in this modders "Magic Mechanics" series. It allows you to aim spells after you cast them by moving your mouse and having them follow it. This is just one mod of a 10+ part series of very unique and cool magic mechanics additions. Another one makes it telekinesis physically moves items to your person until they touch you and they get picked up instead of just automatically being put in your inventory when picking something up. It looks awesome and can only be done with MWSE
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47403?tab=description
I ask again - what could possibly be better about OpenMW that makes people use it over MWSE which allows dramatic game mechanic/game engine mods that can literally take Morrowind into the 21st century of gameplay. OpenMW doesn't let you edit game mechanics. It's completely gimped. Why the fuck is it a thing when the other option exclusively allows the greatest mods ever for the game??
>>716528707OpenMW has partial Lua script support already. We're halfway there.
>>716530098I wish I could find the comment I saw earlier today from a modder explaining in detail why OpenMW needed massive work to work with MWSE.
It's not enough to just add scripting, they need to add MWSE. Basic scripting isn't the same as MWSE that has been perfected over the last 15 years and has hundreds if not thousands of mods already made for it which work beautifully.
I guess they could potentially make it possible to port MWSE into whatever new scripting language they add to OpenMW (maybe, possibly, who knows when). That would be the best case scenario I guess but it's still a longshot and nothing will change the fact that over a decade of mods have been created that do not work with OpenMW and those mods are the most impactful and gameplay altering mods available. They're the ones that actually make Morrowind into the greatest RPG of all time.
like this mod that makes lights into something similar to Skyrim, ones that float or stick to the wall. A simple mod.....yet it's still only possible with MWSE not OpenMW. Like why the fuck would you ever choose the gimped version of the game?? What is the benefit???
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47672
>>716525621The fact that no one responded to a post in a Morrowind thread asking for favorite mods shows just how casual you guys are. I mean it's fucking absurd to see this many people care about an Elder Scrolls game but seemingly not enough to mod it. Like what the fuck?
You don't get to complain about Elder Scrolls games if your complaint is fixed with a single mod install. Even Bethesda doesn't think their games are good without mods so why the fuck do their customers?
You NEED mods for this game to be good, but with mods it's literally the best RPG ever. Probably the most extreme glow-up in history is vanilla Morrowind vs modded Morrowind

Nothing is appealing or fun. the art direction is bad, the setting is bad, the combat is bad, the mechanics are bad, the logic is bad, the story is bad, the worldbuilding is bad, the lore is bad, the fanbase is the most obnoxious of any Bethesda game.
