Yet Another Morrowind Thread

The rookie mistake is having speechcraft anywhere near major/minor skills as a mage (since fortify personality is so good)

Then again might be role-playing so I'm not judging. It's not like Morrowind requires intense minmaxing to become overpowered anyway

Also I approve of your race choice, Akratus.

 

As much as I love the Dunmer, it always feels weird when people call me "outlander", so I tend to play other races. Except when doing the MQ or joining a great house.

 

Oh, and wear a helmet. Dreugh helmets should not be too difficult to find.

 

You're not native-born.

 

Mm-hm, they make a point of noting that foreign-born Dark Elves are incredibly easy for Dunmer to pick out. The way you talk, the way you dress, habits etc all blend together to form one giant bowl of 'you're not from around here' soup.

 

Nevertheless, doesn't feel right to have Nords calling my Dunmer an outlander. I'd have liked if the devs had added some extra lines in case of a Dunmer player character.

 

MGE XE guy tries to hack in normal mapping this time

 

IIRC "outlander" refers to "not from Vvardenfell", not "not Dunmer".

 

Uuurgh.

 

Thanks. I renamed my character Vereiar Nildorn.

It's an anagram of Nerevar Indoril.

 

Just an anagram? My character was a direct descendant of Lord Nerevar Indoril, 4 generations apart, Dagren Indoril. I wrote Ordinator Armor and then killed the Ordinators who told me I'm not worthy of wearing armor of the House Indoril. Didn't join any houses, either.

 

Four generations apart ? Nerevar used to live at least 2000 years before the Nerevarine iirc. Although with elves you never know.

 

That's the point, the mer live for a very long time. Besides, recall that Nerevar's wife was Almalexia. If there had ever been an unknown child from this line, they might have some borrowed divinity like Almalexia as well (even though they only used Kagrenac's tools after Nerevar's death, you never know how family lines work in these fucked up universes)

Or the family line might be blessed by Azura.

 

So, your character thinks he's a descendant of a well-hidden child of Nerevar and Almalexia ? Talk about delusions of grandeur...

 

It's only delusions until you prove yourself to be the Nerevarine and everybody worships you

 

Oh, you mean everybody greeting you with "E-E-Excuse me sera, b-b-bbbut....". Yea, although it doesn't feel so much as being worshipped and more like everyone insta-shit their pants when you talk to them. I'm surprised there are no mods that really flesh out the Nerevarine Cult once you really are the Nerevarine.

 

Play this game without graphical mods/updates -- the way Vivec intended.

 

Vivec was a cheater

 

Vivec was right, the haters can go suck on his MUATRA.

 

I remade my wannabe paladin, took a little magic and went for medium armor. I am planning to eventually finish the game this time, with expansions... This year. Trying hard not to abuse the shit out of everything but I've already succumbed to the creeper and his prices. I am planning to go without combat spells, using just shields, enchants, healing and stuff like that.

 

Nothing wrong with using Creeper, he's kind of conspicuous anyway.

Mudcrab merchant on the other hand..

 

I've been wanting to do a rogue playthrough but I'm too lazy to even install basic mods like MCP and shit.

 

Using Creeper makes for boring playthrough imo. It's basically dungeon -> teleport to Caldera -> dungeon -> Caldera ad nauseam as you lose the incentive to visit other places to sell your loot. Anyway, I don't need the Creeper, I already have half a million at lvl 30 with the Mourhold merchants alone.

MCP is not vital for playing a rogue, is it ?
