Zoomer here.
How do I stop getting filtered by this goddamn game? I can play for one hour max before getting off and not touching the game for weeks.
>you lack imagination
I enjoy tabletop just fine.
>you can't read
Reading is my preferred form of media in almost every context.
I was born the day this game came out. I need to finish it.
Don’t play it if you don’t want to. If you’re not enjoying it enough to keep playing then why would you force yourself to finish it to fit in with a bunch fat old contrarians on an anime image board
I say this as a zoomer who loves morrowind, it’s not for everyone. When I play this game I can’t put it down, the world absorbs me then I realise the sun is rising and I’ve spent all night reading walls of text. if you’re not getting that feeling then you probably won’t find it by forcing yourself to play
>filtered
Here's the trust anon.
It's just not a good game. It was simply better than the competition at the time. It's 90% fetch quests padded with a glacial default movespeed and ultra tight fog to hide render limits.
Elder Scrolls was simply never good, the only redeeming parts is the shit you can read in the lore books in game and maybe 4-5 quests.

>default movespeed to slow
There is no default movement speed. If you made your character with the least amount of speed that's your problem. You can start the game moving faster than in Skyrim if you build your character around speed.
>speed is a mandatory stat for all builds if you don't want to die of boredom
Bad game design
if it's too much for your moron brain, then just grab boots of blinding speed and nullify the blindness effect. They are available 3 minutes in from starting a new game.
Why is the game being praised if its so broken and poorly balanced? Imagine if in Wizardry you could effortlessly find boots of +500 strength 3 minutes after starting, that's the stuff Bethestards would defend to the last man and its unbelievable.
There is no good game to be found here. There is a good Morrowind game to be found in the same year the shit Morrowind was released, its called Gothic 2.
>Why is the game being praised if its so broken and poorly balanced?
Balanced? What the frick are you talking about? This is a single player game. Yeah, you can get strong shit early, but it requires knowing exactly where to go. That's a big part of the reason why exploration is so rewarding in the first place. Meanwhile in Oblivion, everything is tied behind level, so you go through the entire game seeing nothing but iron and leather armor, but then the second you hit level 13, all of a sudden there is orchish and glass armor everywhere.
>boots of blinding speed + alteration training + cheap resist magicka 100pts for 1 second spell + armorer’s hammer in your inventory for when the boots break
filtered
>all this shit just to have a playable walking speed
know of any ways to boost movement speed in Skyrim, kiddo?
That's game was so tedious, trudging around at a snail's pace. Meanwhile in Morrowind you can fly faster than an F-14.
>you have to play the game to get better
Just say you don't like RPGs and that's it
yes, that's' why op calls it filterwind. It filters brainlets
>just exploit to make the game playable
The morrowbab intellectual everybody.
Your ADHD is showing 🙂
>non sequitur
Your schizophrenia is showing.
You’re having trouble understanding me, so perhaps if I rephrase you’ll get it. You seem to have an issue with a slower game where you progress through building your character or in my case coming up with clever workarounds for issues. You lack patience, which is fine, but rpgs don’t seem to be the genre for you. If that’s what isn’t fun for you, then don’t play them and especially don’t waste your time discussing these games on Ganker when you could be spending that time playing CoD or Fortnite - fast games - instead.
>clever workarounds for issues.
The game is so shit you have to exploit to try and fix it's "issues" what the frick
Just buy a $20 skin bundle, a new "battle pass" and leave.
Might as well type sv_cheats or mod the game at that point
>implying new players like op will have the knowledge to do any of this
Morrowgays always just assume everyone trying this game will know to do shit like this or level their magic through custom spellcrafting or other little loopholes that you'd only know after hours of playing
I used boots of blinding speed all the time the first time I played. I don't remember where they came from, but I didn't go too far off the main quest paths and I remember getting them pretty early on. Even before I found out that if you drink a magic resist potion to partially resist the blindness, I was navigating with the minimap and taking them off when I got where I was going or heard something interesting.
Based, this is the SOUL way to play. The only thing you should read before playing any game is the manual.
>zoomers don't know about manuals or strategy guides
It's fricking over.
>bro, just jump through several of the hoops to make the game playable
Do Morrowkeks really?
>Hoops
Those boots you can get at level 1 from a b***h just sitting on the road, what the frick are you talking about.
Right, just gotta walk almost half of the map at lvl 1 to get some speed boots. 🙂 That's some intuitive design. I bet all newcomers to the game do just that.
Nice strawman, not even gonna bother with you.
>Strawman
>Direct refutation to your point
>No actual argument in response
Nice bait anon
>Increasing speed is exploiting
>Using the Boots with Magicka resistance is exploiting
Neither is true you moron
What refutation? Where, you brainlet?
It's a strawman because nobody (sane) is complaining about increasing your speed in an RPG. The problem is you got to do all this shit just to make the slogging from town to town bearable. No newbie will be doing all this shit in the first 10 minutes of their playthrough.
You can level up speed easily. Athletics also increases by running around. The speed fixes itself without exploits.
Increasing speed through stats, birthaign, items or alchemy isn't exploiting (to me) unless you do the feedback loop of Intelligence potions to go infinitely fast
I never use the BoBS. Don't need to. They're fun to frick around with but I mostly avoid them.
The base movement speed should be greater at the very start, not after sinking several hours into training Athletics. It's a fricking slog to crawl around while admiring all the polygons and mist covering half of your screen.
>increasing your money and stats with alchemy infinitely is exploiting
I see
>using bobs
you did not beat the game
You're in the wrong here. Sorry, but your arguments are flawed.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing a single-player video game in an unconventional yet enjoyable manner.
>umm you're a dopamine addict zoomzoom kys
That is not a problem. You can not argue against his preference.
>Just do things to increase your character's speed in a stat-driven RPG
Yes.
You could also just pick the Steed as your starting sign for faster movement immediately
>just exploit this one bug and the game becomes fun
Just cheat lol
Your baiting is very obvious
>no argument
>muh bait
Concession accepted
>Better than the competition
Bro, Gothic was already out
True, the issue is that Gothic's marketing budget wasn't even remotely as big as Morrowshit, its also a much more challenging game and the casuals that play Bethesda games would never be able to finish it.
>It's just not a good game.
the game is amazing and way better than oblivion and skyrim
it's just specific and until you learn quality of life spells (teleport, levitation) it's hard to get into
And if you don't want to play a m*ge?
If a game is good, then it's good. You don't need to spout "The game gets good after you do x y and z!" No, that's a sign the game is bad. Not horribly, unplayably bad, but bad enough that one has to go out of their way and play in a specific way to make it tolerable compared to other, better games.
Same applies to the boots of blinding speed by the way. Saying "Just metagame the game, wear this specific armour and use this specific abuse of the spell system and time no passing in menus to make the walk speed normal" doesn't excuse that the game is slow as shit in a vacuum.
You don't play mage. These are low reqirments spells. I didn't use magic for combat or even for buffing. I didn't use teleport spells until late game either. Traveling by striders is good enough
the game is good, it filters brainlets from playing it
the boots of blinding speed are in very visible quest - most players will find them. But they're not necessary for anything. Initially, when I didn't know you can nullify the blindness, I used them to sprint open areas fast and blind, which was pretty fun.
I didn't use any meta shit. I used mix of medium armor with heavy and light. And the game was still very playable.
>You don't play mage.
>"I used magic"
Fail RP
Again, a good game has no caveats.
you can but a scroll too
Correct, but you told me to use magic, then tried to cope saying 'w-well I only used magic late game!'
every game has caveats
and I do not care to convince you that morrowind is good. It's your loss, practically. Or not, you're probably too adjusted to modern handholding games, to appriciate morrowind.
I couldn't get into daggerfall, but I'm not saying it's a bad game. It's probably really good, but I couldn't get into it from probably the same reasons you can't get into morrowind. But I'm not shitting on the game, like a moron, because I'm not moronic, like you are.
You can't act like Morrowind is a great RPG while also explaining that you need a bunch of very specific items (in a game with thousands of them mind you) to make it bearable. That's just extremely moronic.
Morrowind is a deeply unbalanced game. And this isn't even about difficulty but about specific QoL stuff that can completely change the pace of the game, to an extend I've rarely seen in any other games.
But I just explained you you don't need anything. You don't need meta to finish the game nor even to make it bearable. The best fun I had with the game was playing it for the first time. When I randomly found armor, that was 4 times better than mine, but it didnt' fit my stats, which were for heavy and the armor was medium.. I wore it anyway and it was great.
Questing is also great if you're not a moron. You just need some spatial intelligence to decipher "it's on the left, behind the second hill on the road from Balamora to Aldrunh" or whatever. If you lack that, that's not my fault.
Die Fetcher! N'wah! Stoopid!
>They hated him because he told them the truth
Are there any other first person fantasy RPGs that are as immersive and fleshed out as morrowind?
I'd love to try them.
The fact that everything not bolted down can be interacted with, picked up, sold, etc makes me feel much more like part of the word then most other RPGs.
The fact that every book is readable, every piece of armour wearable, every weapon wieldable, etc does a lot for me.
No other game that I know of does that.
Morrowind definitely has flaws but it's the best elder scrolls and the only game that does the first person immersion properly. If there are other games, I'd love to try them.
>specifying 'fantasy' to exclude a good number of the immersive sim genre
homosexual
I love System Shock, Deus Ex and Prey. The immersive sim genre is great.
I'm just looking at Fantasy because that would be the direct competition to Morrowind.
This is correct. Gothic 2 obliterates Morrowind and it's world/quest "design".
Stop sucking wieners and forcing yourself to play something you don't enjoy.
Morrowind is a weird game that doesn't play quite like any other open world RPG. I personally love it, but it sure isn't for everyone.
I’ve never been able to properly put into words what makes it such a different game. When I play it, I have to kinda think in a different way than alot of other open world RPGs. Not saying Morrowind is the end all be all but its weirdness gets comfy once you get used to it.
In a typical open world game, you expore the world to find quests
In Morrowind, you do quests to explore the world
That's how I see it. Plus, the leveling mechanics are basically a game in itself, I always min-max attributes each level even though there's no objective reason to, the game is easy as frick
For me, I think it's the strange sense of freedom and genuine nonlinearity that the game offers which is totally different from even other RPGs of the time. The whole game is one of the best examples of an open world I've ever seen because you never feel like you're supposed to be anywhere. You're never directly told much of anything beyond basic instructions. Even the main quest is like this. You're given the goal of "become the Nerevarine" and your very first task? Figure out what the hell a "Nerevarine" is. And then go about fulfilling a whole bunch of vague prophecy bullshit with no direct order or organization. There's no "go here, do this, now do this." They give you a goal and tell you to make it happen. In this sense, where every other TES game feels like the character is just reacting to all the huge dramatic destiny that's happening around them, Morrowind makes it feel like you are carving your own destiny with your own hands. And at the end of it you feel like a legendary hero and not just some dude who lucked into a bunch of happenstance and was dragged along for the ride.
>I can play it for one hour
Just keep trying. Maybe it'll click one day. What do you have to lose?
Tried Morrowind. Reached the point when I have to go some Sheogorath shrine. Fight a weird zombie man at the entrance. Apparently weird zombie man lowered my strength to zero, which means I cannot move unless I drop everything I have and hop back to whatever town has restoration potions. Last save an hour ago. Uninstall Morrowind.
thats the point where you start to utilize the power of the Nerevarine and you open up the console
Console commands are CHIM and therefore canon
I love exploring morrowind more than any other tes
gathering some supplies in the early game and heading off in a random direction is just great
then I return as a vet who can hit things properly and contribute to society a bit before wandering again
all the while you learn more about mechanics and lore and stumble into enchanted trinkets and scrolls and potions to help you thrive
bartering is so good too; I feel like I'm really trading my little treasures with plebs
are you me? god i love doing this. love going out and exploring the world, taking trips through remore regions like ashlands or molag amur, then coming back to town to rest up and restock
Play the proper version.
buy and play skyrim again? say no more
morrowind is a shitty game
getting "filtered" by it is a meme made by Ganker to trick people into suffering through a poorly designed RPG
This, play Gothic 1-2 instead
>knock knock

Me too. People say their animation was janky but I always liked it. Morrowind argonians are so cool but in oblivion/skyrim they look completely fricking moronic
it is explained in the lore
>read the manual.
>play a hybrid between melee and magic. something like a nightblade.
>dont take a meme birth sign like atronach.
>dont attack when ur stamina is low/out, use the weapon u are skilled with to hit stuff.
>talk to npcs and ask for advice, rumors, little secret to find hints for treasures or hidden quests etc.
install delayed dark brotherhood and solstheim rumor fix imo. i think solstheim rumor fix removes the moronic solstheim rumors from coming up 9/10 times when you ask npcs about rumors, not sure, i removed all rumor dialog related to solstheim on my game because its moronic to be in there in the first place. Dark souls has the DLC behind a hidden item and a hidden mob, bethesda basically hijacks an entire dialog option for the entire game to tell the player "HEY DONT MISS THE DLC LOL" its so moronic.
Bethesda makes shitty games. The only reason people like them is because there's nothing else quite like them out there. There's a serious lack of open world RPGs. You don't have to force yourself to play a shitty game.
what part of it exactly is filtering you?
Raise you athletics and acrobatics to high level
Do magic
There you go
if this map doesn't call to your soul and fill you with feelings of adventure, then it's not for you
I never realized just how fricking massive the Ald'Ruhn crab skeleton was until I saw this image.
These province-building projects for Morrowind are getting more and more pozzed with each day. Saw the devs congratulating a troony on changing its name the other day.
Quite a shame.
What exactly filtering you?
Elder scrolls games were always shit.
Try gothic 1 and 2 (with night of the raven) instead.
according to steam I lasted for 2.1 hours before I dropped it. the fact that every NPC is just a wikia article dispenser killed the game for me pretty much.
stats matter in morrowind
>fatigue is required for everything
>0 fatigue = a ton of penalties
>no skill in something = no bonuses
at around level 10 you'll have enough stats to almost guarantee hits
tabletop style hits and real time action gameplay is a horrible combination, morrowind would have made more sense if it was rtwp or turn based with active time
works on my computer, sounds like a skill issue
>tabletop style hits and real time action gameplay is a horrible combination
no it isnt
Why do young people try to speak definitely on such subjective issues?
>THIS GAME HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST!!!!
>IT DOESN'T MEET MY PRECONCEPTIONS AS A SKYRIM PLAYER??!?!?
>INCONCEIVABLE!!!!
Maybe you're just finding out about Morrowind, but it's been around for a very long time. You're not gonna win any arguments by just saying, "nuh uh, you're not allowed to make games like this."
you probably did the same thing without thinking about it when you were young anon
lack of experiences makes the mind narrow its part of life it happens
>tabletop style hits and real time action gameplay is a horrible combination
Why? Countless ARPGs do this but you homosexuals never cry about it. Why is it only bad when Morrowind does it? Is it that hard to articulate yourself?
Because it is linked to the worst leveling system of any ARPG excluding Oblivion
How is that relevant in the slightest?
>Why?
Because they got brought into the franchise with Oblivion & Skyrim by now so they have the worst takes. I bet none of these people have completed a CRPG in their lives.
or maybe dicerolls are the most moronic idea for a real time rpg
Your characters attributes and skills and everything on your side of the hit chance equation is within your grasp to change as a player.
And the enemy that you are trying to hit on the other side of the equation is also your choice to attack or run away from.
Calling it dice rolls is disingenuous.
Get cancer israelite.
what should I call it when a diceroll decides if my attack connects?
Its not a dice roll when you can influence all factors of the hit chance equation.
Call it get cancer filthy israelite.
nah its literally a diceroll and its moronic and so are you
(Weapon Skill + (Agility / 5) + (Luck / 10)) * (0.75 + 0.5 * Current Fatigue / Maximum Fatigue) + Fortify Attack Magnitude + Blind Magnitude
((Agility / 5) + (Luck / 10)) * (0.75 + 0.5 * Current Fatigue / Maximum Fatigue) + Sanctuary Magnitude
Get cancer israelite.
tldr dicerolls
tl dr Get cancer dumb israelite.
it's not. just admit you want to be handheld & that's why you play real-time rpgs but you didn't get that with morrowind.
>not missing all of your attacks at point blank means you are handheld
smartest morrowmeme fan right here
>not missing all of your attacks at point blank means you are handheld
>smartest morrowmeme fan right here
yeah, because people won't just let you hit them. they're going to try to dodge or block.
woah!
except that they arent dodging or blocking
they just stand there
and you are right in their face
and you keep missing because some moron on crack thought its a good idea to shoehorn turn based mechanics in a real time game
fricking rpg maker coomer games have better combat
>some moron on crack thought its a good idea to shoehorn turn based mechanics in a real time game
You just described almost the entire RPG genre.
>except that they arent dodging or blocking
too moronic to get that crpg/tabletop mechanics or rules simulate a certain action.
yes, bethesda was too lazy to put in dodge animations, therefore dicerolls in real-time game is the most moronic idea ever? no.
dishonored made it well with high-level enemies actually dodging your attacks with pre-animated dodges but the technology wasn't there in 2002.
It has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the fact that they watered down Daggerfall's combat, decided to tie combat into fatigue, and then removed any visual or auditory indications of hits or misses. Combat in Morrowind is all around pants on head moronic, and you can probably thank Todd for wanting to casualize it for console kiddies.
>implying Morrowind is a crpg
Lol
Lmao even
>and then removed any visual or auditory indications of hits or misses
You were close, there were hit and miss sounds.
Might as well not exist if you *miss* *miss* *miss* for five fricking straight minutes.
Not the guy you're responding to, but at the time nobody thought this was anything odd or out of the ordinary. It was simply how cRPGs worked. You could miss. No big deal.
No, really. Don't take my word for it. Look up reviews from the era. Not one of them will try to make it seem like missing your attacks in a cRPG is something to be upset about.

I swear to you all, on the name of the Dark Lord himself, I seriously thought that was HK-47 in the thumbnail. Frick.
Dagoth Hitler was based, it's time to purge to mongrel races from Morrowind.
As a zoomer who thinks Morrowind is easily the worst game in the non-procedural entries, as I easily consider 1 and 2 far worse, the only way I managed to actually enjoy Morrowind, was by modding it to remove the *miss* combat, adding a survival mode, uncapping the skill limits and some other mods that make certain skills like speech and such have more uses (such as being able to recruit almost anymore if you have a high enough speech stat), some other various difficulty increasing mods, and then playing the game on Ironman difficulty.
It's the only way I have ever been able to play more than an hour or two of the game, in fact, on one of my last Ironman playthrough, I even almost killed The Final Boss.
Overall the game is shit, and I had to sprinkle so many toppings, sprinkles, and frosting onto that pile of shit, along with forcing myself to play a very specific way to get any sort of enjoyment from this contr/a/ritroon old = good, trash game.
it's not just zoomers, i was born in '90 and grew up with that kind of game and i don't like it either. the difference is i didn't play it until i was like 25. i feel like the only people who like it are people who played it as kids. it has too much wrong with it even if the lore is good.
> it has too much wrong with it

Play System Shock 2 instead.

try playing a pure melee character. it takes longer before you become OP. magic in morrowind feels cheap
>it takes longer before you become OP.
Just hit a mudcrab over and over and jump around like a rabbit, that's how good the leveling system in Morrowshit is.
the game expects you to play naturally instead of grinding.
The game also expects you to play it even though there are hundreds of better ARPGs around, why would you play Bethesda slop when there are many better alternatives?
Morrowind remains utterly unique. Your shitposts do not impress.
There is absolutely nothing unique about Morrowind or any Bethesda games, zero. Play more games zoomer.
You've clearly never even played it.
I did and its a mediocre game overrated by people that didn't play many games in their lives, probably played zero role playing games too.
>There is absolutely nothing unique about Morrowind
You can't be lying to yourself this much.
How much is 2 + 2 equal?
Tell me what is unique about Morrowslop, i want to laugh. And like your wikipedia reading NPCs would say "make it quick"

Shut up homosexual, you can go back to your containtment website you fricking loser.
I had serious relationships back in 1998. when you were in diapers.
If you are that old why is your taste in videogames still that shitty? I assume you replayed Bethesda garbage over and over? Is that it?
My taste in vidya has been refined over the decades as I started playing vidya in the late eighties and never stopped playing.
You are such cancer israelite and you were cursed already but you still do not stop.
I hate shitty underage diaper posters. Go suck a titty, summer gay.
I'm at the part where I've got to solve a riddle to find the location of some place for the nerevar main quest shit. What can I expect from the rest of the main quest at this point?
Also I feel like I need to take a break pretty well often when it comes to this game. There's so many lore dumps from too many NPCs all at once. While it sets up the world nicely, it feels a little silly when every ineividual talking point/topic with a main quest NPC gives you like two paragraphs of knowledge to go through. It feels overwhelming to get that much information and to actually take it all in and fully understand every single detail about Morrowind and the political system that's going on with the Dunmer. Game's got me taking notes and shit not even for the gameplay, but to know what the frick is even going on.
Main quest is gotyay simple as
Don't worry dude you're playing Morrowind exactly how it's meant to be played. The world has so much info that it can't hope to explain everything if not for the lore dumps. You don't need to keep track of every minor detail, but if you want to, you can. That's the beauty of it, and something no other game does.
You're near the end of the main quest but the final stretch is pretty tedious. Remember you're fulfilling a heroic prophecy, see it as "the twelve trials of Heracles" or something like that. They didn't half-ass that idea-- it WILL be tiresome. The final, final stretch will tie everything together and the payoff is worth it.
I finished the story and I could never really enjoy it. Something about the janky-ness of the whole game, the uncanny valley graphics, the fog preventing you from seeing more than 10ft in front of you, the copy and pasted dungeons, it never really clicked with me. I guess it needed a couple dozen mods to give it a more enjoyable experience.
ITS OVER
>anally devastated cRPG fan
See this image? Can you try to imagine what going into a game machine would do with it?
Like you press a button and you go into first person of one character and go around the boat and levitate on top and take a bucket and it has weight and you can sell it and the door is locked and trapped...
Its a shit game now just as it was a shit game when it launched.
You need an obsession and the feeling what I describe as "the need to get to the bottom of it". Sometimes it can be very hard to get this on. Otherwise I get bored, the game has to have SOMETHING... You need to trick yourself. With these kind of games I think you are more prone if you're a lore/story gay I guess.
Probably the most overrated turd in all of gaming.
>filtered
Indeed.
Oblivion ruining spell making and Skyrim straight up removing it killed magic for me, Morrowinds spells were fun as frick.
>Oblivion ruining spell making
??
How did it ruin it? I remember making tons of custom spells in that game
Text based dialogue was 100% superior aswell, voice acting killed these games.

You would understand if you knew how to read. Better get back to school, underage moron.
>dodges the question

Frick off moron, your mom is changing your diapers
you seem to be having trouble answering a rather simple question
kys underage homosexual
Well, have you played any of these old school games? In Morrowind you get entire paragraphs in response to simple questions, whereas in Skyrim those sorts of questions get you short sentences. This is apparent in other games as well. Compare two recent Obsidian games: The Outer Worlds vs. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. One is voice acted and one isn’t, respectively, and it just so happens that one has detailed, complex dialogue and the other doesn’t irrespectively.
>you get entire paragraphs in response to simple questions

It’s not for everyone, but I like to get details rather than bullet points. 🙂
>text based dialogue was 100% superior
>why
>because I like it 😉
yawn
I stopped answering your questions because it was obvious you went into this with no intention of actually changing your perspective. In fact:
>I don’t like complex dialogue because… I just don’t okay!?
I can do it too. 🙂
Better luck next time shitposter-kun
looks like you weren't able to answer them
Looks like you can’t read. I guess we’d already established that, though.
>Reads a fisher price book
>"Wow this is amazing and on my IQ level"
>Looks at a long novel
>"Why the frick do people like this?"
i've read ten times more books than you
what does that have to do with anything though
Sorry let me fix it
>Puts on the audio version of a fisher price book because the low IQ subhuman is too stupid to read himself
>Drools
>"Wow this is amazing guys I'm learning so much from these 2 lines of dialogue that were spoken to me"
you are stuck in some delusion of yours come back when your condition stabilizes
No I think I got it spot on, you're just a subhuman.
samegay
calm down
do you have some objective metric by which unvoiced dialogue is superior is all I want to know
He already told you why it's better, also skyrim and oblivions voice acting was terrible.
all you said was that you prefer one over the other
if it ends at "i just like it that way" why did you bother responding at all i really don't care about what you like
>All you said was that you prefer one over the other
You are playing stupid now because you've been caught with a low mental capacity.
you are free to point me to where you wrote anything else
you couldn't offer any discussion hence why you resigned at "to each their own"
I answered all of your questions and have you an olive branch by saying it’s okay for you to have worse tastes than me, but you are just as lacking in social awareness as you are reading comprehension. No wonder you need short dialogue and quest markers lmao
He's playing stupid, just stop replying to him.
worse taste based on what
Feel free to scroll up, this is the last reply you’re getting out of me mr. circular argumentator
i scrolled up to where you said that these games offer you paragraphs but when i asked what's the value in that you simply said "i like it" and i haven't heard a coherent sentence from you since
circular argumentation indeed
Not him but why are you acting like an entitled prick?
>Not him
nice samgay again
I don't even know what the other fricking guy said man you just sounded like an butthole
Anon thinks you are me.
I usually tease him mercilessly. I have been away so anon is getting desperate searching for me.
I am leaving again but anon will spaz out so enjoy the show.
ya wat he said
pls give (You)s
Anon has either tied his self worth to Morrowind or is the single most dedicated troll in history.
Both are entirely possible from Morrowind fans.
It is odd because of all the old games they could become attached to they chose Morrowind. This leads me to believe it is the latter not the former.
i wanna reply 2
rude tbqh
Ganker’s not one person and you aren’t replying to me in that post. If you wanna know why I sound like a prick I suggest you read the entire conversation seeing as you “don’t know” what the other person said.
lol, lmao
If you don’t care shat other people think, you shouldn’t be browsing a discussion forum like Ganker
For starters, Ganker isn’t one person and it was the guy who accused you of wearing diapers who said unvoiced dialogue is 100% superior. Obviously you can’t quantify and measure opinions, and this whole time I’ve been pretty clear that it’s what I prefer, nothing more.
Morrowind isn't old school, its a zoomer game made before zoomers were even capable of playing videogames, many 90s RPGs all brutally shit on it in regards to player choices, character/enemy variety, dialogue, locations, leveling, balancing, replayability, gameplay in general. The only thing Morrowind did okay was the music but there aren't many tracks.
It allows for much more complex dialogue than a voice acting budget and time constraints will allow
But Morrowslop also had a lot text, the issue is that every NPC just vomits the same lines, there is nothing unique about any of them and are just there to give the illusion of interaction and a living world.
You didn't bother to read any of it or even beat the game so how would you know?
Why would you want to reread a short wikipedia article over and over and over? Why is it repeated for 95% of the NPCs? Why is it such a bad videogame?
Again with the edgyness, why did you not grow up? What was the issue?
>Doesn't deny what I just said
You got filtered by a game that is older then yourself because you had to read a wall of dialogue. You are the definition of low IQ.
You got your curses already.
Forgetting them doesnt free your from them.
first thing I always did when starting a new character was get a rubberband and have the character run into a wall for 8 hours to max out athletics and then after that doing the same thing but crouching in a room with npc's for hours until stealth maxed out
htere's more efficient ways if you really gotta minmax your ability scores but being honest you dont need to
might as well just use the console and edit your stats if you're going to do that
I played it on xbox, there was no console
would have been faster to print some money with alchemy in balmora and pay trainers
that way you would get the extra speed and other stats from leveling and sleeping
>talks about minmax
>only gets one +5 stat each level
lol
What a casual troony
It's a hard game to get into. If you can manage it, it will hook you though.
I got up to take a piss last night and my cat walked up to me covered in blood with her guts dragging all over the floor. Her surgical scar re-opened, and the hide on a third of her belly peeled back, and after spending half an hour wrestling her into the carrier I drove over to the emergency clinic covered in various bodily fluids, then sat in the waiting room for 8 hours because the cat refused to exit the carrier peacefully and the vet insisted that something like this was literally impossible. She's checked in and waiting for the surgeon now, and in all likelihood will probably die, so I'm basically just sitting in my apartment with blood and cat shit sprayed everywhere staring at the ceiling wondering what I'm going to do when my only friend in the whole world is gone. I have to go to work in about half an hour.
I guess what I'm saying is, I really hate people and just humanity in general, and I'd really like to play a game where I can immerse myself in a dying alien world where some dipshit dev on HRT doesn't hold my hand through the entire experience like baldur's gate or any other bioshit/larian soiboy RPG because a redditor got stuck at a fork in a cave during a focus test. I want to be isolated from all the things I hate, which is basically everything, and I guess that's why I like games like Morrowind.
>blogpost
>tranime
>buzzword buzzword buzzword

Hope your cats alright bro
The leveling sucks.
Just find a guide to make your character overpowered or use cheats for your first play through. The best part is exploring the world, not grinding for permission to do it without dying.
you become a god effortlessly just from playing the game, you don't need to cheat you stupid homosexual
>The best part is exploring the world
Yeah hiking simulator is my favourite as well, roaming around... discovering grey and brown hills and huts...
The world is empty, there is nothing to explore and no real reason to find anything because the game balancing is that horrid, also level scaling is the icing on the shit cake. They somehow managed to make all of that even worse in Oblivion, if my criticism of Morrowind seem unfair to you zoomers you should hear what i have to say about Oblivion.
>Just find a guide to make your character overpowered or use cheats for your first play through. The best part is exploring the world, not grinding for permission to do it without dying.
this is the most bizarre perspective i have ever seen on Ganker. isnt the enjoyment of games like this knowing that there are tough areas you cant do yet, but will be able to do when you get stronger? thats what gives the game a sense of progression.
Zoomers play games as a way to reward themselves, they don't want a challenge they want dopamine.
People want to have fun, how terrible, oh the horror.
>Dopamine addiction is fun
You should have a nice day.
You are addicted to dopamine released when being challenged I guess, homosexual. Get some self awareness.
I don't hop from brainless game to brainless game looking for my next "Fix" like you homosexual
>Get some self awareness
Yes you should.
So you don't play games?
Can you not fathom not playing games constantly?
Yes I can? What the frick is this weird projection moron?
>I don't hop from brainless game to brainless game
>"So you dont play games"
that implies that you literally hop from brainless game to brainless game constantly.
>you don't move on from one game to another
You don't?
>Dopamine addict is now trying to change the argument to justify him playing brainless games constantly.
What is your mental problem? Seriously, you have some weird fixation and projection. And you still haven't answered if you even play games in the first place.
>Subhuman changes his fixation on to something else desperately trying to change the topic because he's been ridiculed.
WHY are you so angry lmao? WHAT topic am I changing? Seek help, dude.
>Subhuman now slowly starting with every post I make to transition from what he sees as a "Human" mental state into the beast that he actually is.
Whatever man, I feel bad because it looks like I'm actually harming your mental state, I won't bother trying to understand anymore. Stay safe.
Concession accepted.
you're the subhuman shitposting zoomer
>Subhuman is now taking the side of the tranime poster
Many such cases.
anime website have a nice day tourist
have a nice day troony
holy hell, you're absolutely moronic, mate
Samegayging troony?
i don't think so, anon. but keep fueling that trannoid obssession of yours, i'm sure it'll do you lots of good.
Nice troony, I can hit f12 aswell.
It's the common perspective of the morrowind apologist, who is so desperate to pretend his game is 'secretly still the best rpg ever' that he will backseat you and tell you how to metagame to 'have fun correctly'
i never beat morrowind the "normal" way
i only used the alchemy strat to get a billion int and buffed my stats to become absurdly OP
i can't imagine this game being tolerable if you played it conventionally
0 magic run is the most fun and challenging run you can do in Morrowind.
yeah same here OP. Ive put 10 hours into trying to enjoy this fricking game and 3 characters. It's legitimately the most negging experience I've ever had in a game, because it feels like there must be a good game in there somewhere surely, but between the absolute dogshit movement and combat, the bad quests which just send you off guideless in the wilderness to get hopelessly lost and the snails pace of the story its just been the definition of a slosh. The current character I'm playing is just a straight up warrior with stats based around speed and acrobatics so I can actually traverse the land without feeling like I'm tredging through sludge and there have finally been a few times where Ive actually thought I'm having fun, but those are almost too few and far between to justify playing it. The only reason I really want to get through it is because Michael Kirkbride is a genius and I actually care about the lore of the universe, and everyone says morrowind is where tes lore peaks. Shits so gay. I wish bethesda wasnt a literal scam company and they put out tes6 and remade this and oblivion by now, but no. The absolute best we get from this franchise is oblivion, which is fun but goofy and moronic. Tes has been done so god damn dirty by the gays at bethesda it's insane.
getting sent off into the wilderness to get completely fricking lost is one of the two things the game does well
stop relying on map markers and quest guides
the whole thing that makes morrowind quests amazing is that you set off with some shitty scribbled directions, and then take an immediate detour 15ft out of the town to explore something that looks interesting and it turns out its an entire quest too
traveling around like a headless chicken at a snails pace is not gameplay
I understand your ADHD raddled zoomer brain can't handle not having instant gratification when you boot up a game, but that just isn't the case for everyone else who hasn't completely fried their dopamine receptors.
more buzzwords less arguments
Describe the delayed gratification scaling brown hills provides. I'll wait.
the gratification comes from slowly conquering a truly alien feeling world and becoming a literal god after starting from nothing and getting your shit pushed in
thats great but it doesnt require you to wander for hours while searching for the quest objective in the wrong spot
Pressing W on your keyboard is conquering?
clicking m1 is playing a game?
What matters is the context. What happens when press W in Morrowind? You wander around grey and brown ugly samey landscapes and that's it
Morrowind is a walking sim
Pretty bad one at that.
Stop projecting zoomie.
the landscapes aren't grey and brown and ugly though, and there's ruins and dungeons almost every 10ft
either you never played the game or you're being intentionally disingenuous for trolling reasons
Yes I purposely didn't mention such vivid colors such as "mud green", "washed out yellow", "rust red" because they still suck and blend into the same brown mush. Post a landscape you consider beautiful from Morrowind.
>yeah but how am i supposed to know where to go? where are the map markers? you don't really expect me to read quest text? why am i moving so slow? i can't play this
sounds like a personal problem
>read the quest text
>it's some vague shit that tells you nothing of value
very nice
They want instant gratification and want to be told exactly what to do and exactly where to go, it's not about the "Adventure" or the "Fun" for them it's about finding that new dopamine game. Any sort of bump in the road is a second that they aren't being rewarded.
sorry Black person but that is absolute and complete cope.
>no youre SUPPOSED to get lost
actually it's just shit game design. There's no excuse. I'm all for encouraging exploration or whatever, but vvardenfell is literally canonically a fricking wasteland. The quests are vague and unclear, the exploration sucks because you move at a snails pace (even with stats put into athletics, because you need to be walking in order to conserve your fatigue because) the combat sucks, it's not fun to be following some vague instructions to go get a mcguffin in the middle of nowhere you cant escape while crawling there extremely slowly getting lost and having to stop, fight 12 silt striders only to have to rest until healed, only to be further attacked by assassins, having to rest until healed AGAIN, then having to trudge back off into the wilderness where you're way of from where you need to be but have no reliable way of escaping.
it's immersive bro
funny cause Caius actually filtered my friend from this game. I think he dropped the game at the dwemer ruins and that stupid dwemer cube quest
>Caius:
>Don't waste my time, you're completely green.
>Go make a name for yourself or something.
>Do whatever, I don't care, just do ANYTHING ELSE for awhile before taking my quests.
>eksbots:
>WHY IS DWEMER CUBE QUEST SO HARD
I searched for this cube for like 3 hours, lol. I don't remember the details though, cause I literally played the game 20 years ago. I think I thought it would be in chest, while it was just lying in plain sight on a shelf
I too expected it to be in the boss's pockets, but since I was looting everything like a coked up magpie, I eventually found it while I was clearing said shelves.
I obsessively checked every single barrel, nightstand, crate, drawer, desk, and even slightly irregular floor texture for Dwemer coins.
It doesn't help that you're not allowed to even touch the cube until you take the quest, and so exploring the dungeon prematurely would lead you to believe it doesn't exist. Morrowind had some really shitty quest design now and then.
>How do I stop getting filtered by this goddamn game?
It's a shit game. Ergo, you should definitely play it
>become OP mage
>try jump spell, bc why not
>max pts for a few secs
>character jumps out of the world
It was soul, but like in real life you need a high enough IQ to see it.
yup, shame they dumbed it down the future games so much.
Boredom is the great filter. You are looking for something from this game that does not exist. A reason to play it.
maybe because it's shit?
ur mom is shit
>no ur mom is [insert thing]
>not the first post from this IP
>Guy who calls you edgy for saying israelite also samegays a whole thread when people call him out for being low IQ
Really really surprising.
Ganker has always been a hivemind, newbie
What is this meltdown?
Distinct lack of meds not being taken.
Why did they dumb magic down so much in Skyrim, Morrowind was based as frick.
morrowind magic is bloated as frick
It did have way to much filler. The more is better because it is more philosophy was common back then. Daggerfall fans miss having the variety of skills from that game even though a third of them were functionally useless.
You guys know you can read the wiki if you get stuck on a quest right?
>reading a wiki to read the shittier incomplete wiki in game
Might as well play only for the combat without doing any quests at that point
Dagoth Ur is still the best "end game" villain of all the games
not a high bar is it
That would be the Tribunal.
Install Tamriel Rebuilt and go to Ebonheart, its way better then base game morrowind by having actually interesting quests with choices and skill checks.
Did you finish Skyrim? if so then you should be able to finish this since it's superior in everyway shape and form.
the best part about this post is that I see people on both sides of that stupid argument replying and accusing the other side of having made it
>Get speed boots
>100% magicka resist
>Constant effect levitate 1pt
Yep, It's time to game.
>player->setspeed 300
>tcl
>He had to cheat
>he had to exploit
>He didnt play a Breton
its in the game therefore its intended to be used
I enjoy morrowind more then skyrim but Vivec is fricking dogshit to navigate.
>Jumping from Canton to Canton at higher levels
>Sliding down those ridges to get to the lower floors
There were ways to make it fun but it was definitely a fricking maze
Every decade I love Morrowind more and more.
Thank you God and thank you Todd and Kirkbride and all the good people at Bethesda.
Modded Daggerfall
Why would i play this when I can play Fortnite and Gothic 2 remastered? atleast those games I can beat in 2 seconds.
People trying so hard to like a game will forever be a mystery to me. No matter how much fun i can see a poetry group having, if i don't enjoy myself from the first awkward steps i stop.
OP forgot the one major thing gen Z grew up with in it's vidya:
Handholding.
Morrowind has zero. For some reason gen Z possess absolutely no desire to explore. Late millennials you suffer from this as well.
"handholding" isn't an issue, the issue with morrowind is that it's slow and boring
simple as
seethe and cope as you please
>issue with morrowind is that it's slow and boring
you haven't played any crpg. and never will with that attitude.
it's called getting filtered for creating a bad build.
Garbage sequel to a good game.
>procedual generation memes
Well youngin, I expect the tedium of grinding to raise skills is wearing you down. I recommend
>making potions to buff your enchantment skill
>making enchantments to buff your alchemy
>cycle through until you have redonkulously high stat-buffing equipment pieces and potions
That's how we did it back in my day. The secret is out.
>How do I stop getting filtered by this goddamn game?
You need to understand what class you want to be & build the appropriate build. This means creating the right character build at the game start & using the main skill you start with. then investing in the appropriate attributes to give you bonuses to those skills.
if you want to be a fighter, you need agility, luck & not being fatigued when fighting & using the weapon you picked the main skill for.
>(Weapon Skill + (Agility / 5) + (Luck / 10)) * (0.75 + 0.5 * Current Fatigue / Maximum Fatigue) + Fortify Attack Magnitude + Blind Magnitude
For mage you need willpower, luck & not being fatigued when fighting.
>(Spell's skill * 2 + Willpower / 5 + Luck / 10 - Spell cost - Sound magnitude) * (0.75 + 0.5 * Current Fatigue/Maximum Fatigue)
then just find loot by adventuring to dungeons & sell that to traders or do jobs for guilds. then buy skills from trainers. use the wiki to find where they are.
in fact, getting rich & investing in skill trainers is the easiest way to getting good at the game. part of beating morrowind is just understanding the game mechanics & rules. so basically like any tabletop game.

This is me about half an hour after starting a new game. Since I've built my character around speed I was able to outrun most enemies and get to the final boss on day one without exploits on the fricking mobile version.
But please, zoomers continue talking about how the game is too slow and unfair when in reality you're just too moronic.
damn bro you rushed ghostgate for glass armor and went straight to dagoth good job
now what?
destroy the heart of lorkhan & kill dagoth. he has daedric sword which increases hit chance. idk why but it just does. If I had to guess is because their damage penetrated their armor rate but then again it's not the D&D ruleset.
First I use the mark spell to make this my new home. Than I defeat the first phase of Dagoth Ur and enter his chamber. Next I jump on Akulakhan to make Dagoth fall into the lava. Repeat after he teleports onto the bridge and dispatch his minions. Now you have an infinite HP punching heart to increase your skills. You can't teleport out but you can still just go through the entrance.
If you want to do this yourself just be aware that the enemies will reset after a few days and you'll have to to the same song and dance routine.
I can't help but imagine the Neravarine beelining to Red Mountain just so he can squat the chamber with Akulakhan while Dagoth Ur and his minions seethe.

I can admit that Morrowind has poor replayability, when you know where everything is. But first time I've played it, it was amazing
Morrowind is my favorite game. I've been modding it for nearly two decades, nary a day passes where I don't work on a mod or just boot it up to test something for another member of the community.
However, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Stop acting like you need to be able to enjoy it. It's a video game made for fun, and if you aren't having fun, play one that is fun. Stop trying to force yourself to find something in it, and don't let homosexuals try to say your subjective experience is indicative of any generality. If you eventually force yourself through and beat it, you won't feel nearly as accomplished as you think you will, and you probably won't appreciate it any more. You don't like it, despite the fact that it has things you ordinarily like, and that's fine. Play something else.
the raw masculine dominance of morrowchads instills a deep inferiority complex into the filtered zoomer masses
You have ADHD, have a nice day, genetic dead end.
>you are a dead end
>said the boomer in a videogame forum about a 20 year old game
>I was born the day this game came out
this made me feel so fricking old
>zoomers "feeling old"

I was a teenager when this game came out
Still defending a crappy game at 35 - 38 years old.
What went wrong?
I find that it helps entering a guild that suites you.
The game has tons of guilds/groups. Go become a knightt and do dick-measuring competitions with Reforan. Go become an assasin and travel the world by joining the Morag Tong. You want some alien levitating adventures? Join house Telvanni.
It just hasn't aged well at all.
Surrender yourself to the comfy
When I first played this game, I was unbelievably disappointed that neither the sea-faring ships nor the gondolas at Vivec moved when used for fast travel.
All because I saw some concept art with the gondolas ferrying passengers in the canals.
I felt like I was lied to, Todd. I haven't trusted you since.
I think my dream game these days is basically Morrowind living up to its bullshots.
I thought they were just beta screenshots and not bullshots.
There's a mod for that though.
Morrowind is like fishing
It isn't wacky twitch shooter bullshit
these things, they take time, you can seed it along with game knowledge but in the end it still is slower, and if you can't appreciate the atmosphere you were never going to survive playing it.
