Morrowind, again.

Space05us · January 13, 2004, 17:19

This game surprises me every so often at how incredibly huge it is, Ive managed to find a few unique artifacts this morning that arent mentioned in any FAQs/Walkthroughs/Hints&Tips/Spoilers (not that Ive seen anyway)

that and ummm being threatend by a Dremora Lord on a certain quest isnt too pleasent. He says something to the tune of "Im going to rape your dead body, but dont worry I'll be gentle." (how did this escape the PC nazis?)

They probably insisted on him being gentle.

post them already!

MattH · January 13, 2004, 21:14

Sorry they're so huge- but you know view distance and res. have to be way up to capture the game in it's true glory:
Obligatory Vivec
Snow!
Comfy... as a hedgehog

MattH · January 13, 2004, 21:15

I would have had more, but my contrast settings messed up most of them

.

MattH · January 13, 2004, 21:24

Here we go:
A new oppertunity...
Dust storm
The little bugger's got a point

Space05us · January 13, 2004, 21:35

I thought you meant you had a picture of what the Dremora Lord said.

I need a good computer so I can play Morrowind on it, the graphics on PC and a zillion times better than X-Box.

MattH · January 13, 2004, 21:38

No- There's like 1000 dremora lords. Which one? Can you post a save?

Space05us · January 13, 2004, 21:58

Im an X-Boxer so I cant post anything from the game

He's at one of the temple shrines, the oner that tells about how Vivec taunted a Dremora (or was it Daedra?) so that it would throw the boulder at him instead of his followers.

MattH · January 13, 2004, 22:30

Oh yeah- I know that one! I've got to go listen.

Space05us · January 13, 2004, 22:36

he says it in text, good luck listening.

MattH · January 13, 2004, 23:01

Oops

I think its the one in... umm.. ::thinking::

Its that little town north of Ald Rhun.. where that big rock is. The one where you can taunt the Dremora lord. After you taunt him a few times, he gets mad.

Nubclear · January 14, 2004, 02:17

Maar Gan.

Sarxis · January 14, 2004, 16:18

Yeah. Its been almost a year since I played any of Morrowind. Is that the Dremora lord?

Temted to load it up again... hmm...

MattH · January 15, 2004, 20:53

Well, it's not in the PC version. See the first link I posted above.

MattH · January 15, 2004, 20:59

Oops- correct link: here.

Space05us · January 15, 2004, 21:18

keep taunting him until he attacks

MattH · January 16, 2004, 21:14

Cripes- you're right! I'd post a shot but it would probably get me banninated.

Space05us · January 16, 2004, 21:43

pleasent fellow ain't he?

MattH · January 16, 2004, 22:05

At least he's gentle.

MattH · January 17, 2004, 13:34

I had to reinstall Morrowind and didn't backup all my plugin-related files. Of course, now I get the error messages of doom. Where do you guys get your mods? The UESP is down (not unusual), Morrowind summit is raining 404's, Destination: Morrowind has s***, and Morrowindfiles is taking hours to load

.

(plugins I need:
dh_*, i.e. _furn, _furn_stores, _homes, etc. (originally from UESP),
indybank (unknown).

Space05us · January 17, 2004, 13:41

check out the elder scrolls forums if you havent already, if they cant answer your question a million times after its already been answered and then turn your thread into a pissing match about what can and cant be said on that forum then I dont know who can.

a note about my current game: Being a Vampire sucks. nobody wants to play with me.

( but on the up side my acrobatics is at 140 without cheating

)

p.s. and my strength is at 190, and my speed is at 431, and my willpower is at 110, and my Luck is maxed out at 100, and I think its time to start a new charecter.

Sarxis · January 17, 2004, 17:41

Morrowind Summit seems to go offline quite a bit. I've noticed several weekends it would just disappear, then be back on Monday.

Weird.

MattH · January 17, 2004, 23:23

Man, finding this stuff took all day. dh_furn was the hardest. It's a big mod, adding the ability to buy all of the furniture in the game, so I thought it would be a piece of cake to find. 6 hours later I locate it on euro-morrowind.com, humbly disguised as "Dave's furniture mod". The others weren't easier, seeing as how half the Morrowind sites are down for one reason or another. Bah. /rant.

Well, at least I can play now

Space05us · January 22, 2004, 07:47

why does everyone start off playing morrowind wanting to be some sort of ninja assassin?

Spiffor · January 22, 2004, 08:15

Because it is supposed to be more cool than the brutla Barbarian or the ordinary mage. Both of them have gotten very old, and the thief/ninja character has still some novelty to it, as stealth is still a young feature in the gaming world.

I personally had two chars (custom): A huntress and a diplomat. But diplomacy is much less interesting in Morro than in Fallout

Space05us · January 22, 2004, 08:34

I just now figure out I dont have GOTY edition

nothing is cooler than being a big naked man wielding a sledge hammer!!

my second time playing I was looking at all the pre-made classes trying to figure out how you would beat the game as an agent. Perhaps you just talk people to death??

There's really no need for a character with high charisma/personality or speaking ability in Morrowind, not only can you buy a persons confidence but you're eventually forced into hack'n slash mode to beat the game anyway, so why delay the inevitable?
The only reason I play it as much as I do is because I can vent through it. There's nothing more relaxing than falling down on a Daedric shrine slaughtering all its inhabitants with nothing but your trusty dreugh staff.

Agent has several fighting abilities, and does fight. My diplomat fights too, and I even ended up teaching her how to wield long swords and heavy armor. (she's a Nord, it helps for strength).

High charisma can be useful, as it can relieve you from much hack'n'slash. Even though you'll have to kill often, it's still much less often than usual. And the main quest requires you to have plenty of different skills anyway: you're required to kill, to fly, to convince, to pick locks, etc.
