Yet Another Morrowind Thread

[DraQ]

I can't take back my items from a crate in balmora fighters guild fellow guild members attack me for taking my stuff, is there a way to fix it?

Yes, don't stupid the next time around - for all they know you are trying to take guild's stuff.

Other than that:

• Are the items something unique/crucial/extra valuable/quest items/something you can't live without?
  • YES:
    • Try to retrieve the items (covertly if possible)
    • Run away
      
    • stash the items somewhere you can get to them and give yourself up to the guard or pay off the Thieves Guild
    • stay away from the guild for several days
    • pay amends
    • don't fuck up again
  • NO:
    • Suck it up.
    • No, seriously.

Well it's about 20 books i wanted to read, no quest items/books probably(maybe key to lower Arkngthand ruins but i explored that whole place and didn't find any use for the key).
After changing owner of the crate every item disappeared lol.

earlier they didn't mind me keeping stuff there

Damn! The simplest solution might be to use console commands to give your character the same items and then pretend the ones you left in the crate don't exist.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:AddItem
1. Open the in-game console using the ~ key (or whatever is to the left of the 1 key on your keyboard).
2. For each type of item in the crate, type player->additem, "Item_Name", X where X is the quantity of that particular item and Item_Name is the name used by the game to refer to that item. You can determine the reference name of an item by clicking on it while the console is open, or just look them up on UESP. A lot of the reference names for books are listed here http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Books

You might even be able to use the additem (with negative X) or removeitem commands to then make the books disappear from the crate (replace player-> with container_name->), if you're the sort of person who cares about leaving anomalies.

I'll do it most likely or just re-buy those books since at this point i have plenty of money and i don't know what to do with it anyway. My another question is where is "safe" place where i can store my items(crate,chest or whatever). Can you guys recommend some quests worth doing? I did most of fighter's guild quests and i'm not impressed i wonder if it is even worth finishing whole questline. I joined House Redoran and did their first two quests(delivery of potion, killing mudcrabs...) is it going to get more in-depth with politics and rivalry between the great houses or just more fetch quests?

Download a housing mod. See page 43 of this thread.

 

[janior]

Any ideas what to do with money in this game? Where can i sell items worth more than 5k? I'm lvl 10 and my character was mainly focused on main quest but already it feels like i'm too OP(iv'e found good two-handed sword while exploring a cave where i was lookign for some magical bow to become friend of the ashlanders clan).

Well, AFAIK you have overwritten whatever changes were made to this container by your save.

CS is a content making tool, not ad-hoc gameplay blunder remover.

The best use of excess money is spellmaking and enchanting.
The best non-easter egg merchant is, predictably, Adabael Whatshisname, the author of The Buying Game, in Zainab camp, with 9k GP - he will rip you off, though.

Suggestion for characters with too much money:

Spoiler

1) find Grand Soul Gem
2) find Golden Saint/Ascended Sleeper and capture soul in gem
3) make constant effect item at your favorite enchanter.

Affluenza problem solved!

 

[Space Insect]

I always love making super jump rings and constant effect levitation.

 

[janior]

hmm i think i'll enchant recall ring is tamriel rebuilt good mod to install for first playthrough? Does it add meaningful content?

 

[kwanzabot]

people who like morrowind ie people who like wandering through stale copypasted areas dungeons lifeless worlds= retards


the world in morrowind looks alot like poland though, bland and covered in shit

 

[Drax]

 

[janior]

"shitposter" well deserved i see

 

[Kalon]

He seems obsessed with Poland somehow.

 

[MWaser]

He seems obsessed with Poland somehow.

Only other Polish people and Czechs are obsessed with insulting Poland.

I'm guessing he's Polish because Poland breeds the biggest shitposters

 

[janior]

Yes, it's popular among polish people to hate on their own country and people.

Czechs are obsessed with insulting Poland

Iv'e met with Czechs in my life and never felt like they had something against us.

Back on topic, why oh why do Morrowind modders have to ruin otherwise interesting ideas with silly stuff.

MCA ? Good idea to add life to Morrowind, but was there really a need for all these new outfits ? And most importantly, I don't need a "-make love" option when taking a companion.

Children of Morrowind ? Now I have kids parading in Morag Tong outfits, traders selling lollipops alongside shurikens, and don't get me started on the papoose the pregnant NPCs are carrying; it looks like they mummified them and use them to smuggle drug.

White Wolf of Lokken (or rather LoKKen, for whatever reason): Was it really necessary to have a Red Riding Hood character at some point ?

Frankly, I'd rather play some outright insane stuff ilke Morrowland.

 

[Kalon]

Oh, and Julan Ashlander Companion. It was such a great idea to have a male companion, and one whose own questline revolves around the MQ. Except his questline actually blocks the MQ at some point. You even get a Message Box that kindly informs you that "You Need To Advance Julan's Story More". You can almost distinctly hear the modder screaming "Listen to muh awesome story". How about muh immersion, bitch.

...why oh why do Morrowind modders have to ruin otherwise interesting ideas with silly stuff.

I only played Morrowind for the first time about three weeks ago, and I've already formed the opinion that the fanbase are a bunch of pitiful, feeble-minded knuckleheads - not everyone, of course, but a higher proportion than I'm willing to tolerate. There's a reason they've earned the name "Bethestards." You can easily spot them because they're addicted to using the term "lore friendly."

 

[Kalon]

"Lore-friendly" is so 2010 sweetie, now the buzz-word is "Immersive".

Anyway, there's a difference between lore-breaking and downright stupid. I don't mind lore-breaking.

 

[groke]

now

 

[wwsd]

why oh why (...) modders

If you frame the question this way, it answers itself.

 

[janior]

immersive big tits mods are the best

 

[Kalon]

Well, in fact, now they say "Dramatic". Seriously. There's a mod called "Dramatic Molag Mar". Back in 2005 it would have simply been called "Better Molag Mar". And what makes it "dramatic", you may ask ? Well, adding a few crates and fishing nets is what makes it dramatic, apaprently.

Although, when you think about it, Modding and Drama have never been too far from each other.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

That's more or less what Better Caldera is, a bunch of fluff and filler items/stalls/etc. Damned if it doesn't do the job though.
