      To be fair, you can't be sure if the Ganker schizo and the redditor are the same person, or two distinct individuals who happen to have used the same image.
      Maybe the romanian redditor saw the image the Ganker schizo posted and posted it on reddit. A single image isn't enough to confirm two people being the same.

                What I mean is, there's no summary of derivated stats. In DnD, you have a stat (eg.: 18 str). That stat has a modifier of 4. So it adds 4 to your hit chance, damage and skills like intimidate. So sheets have spaces where you can input this modifiers and you know how they contribute to the final number. I don't know how much my stats in Morrowind contribute to anything.

                >Or you could memorize the 1-2 effects on any given spell. Also, simply hovering over a name is much better than having to navigate to a different screen to display the full effect.
                This is a game with spell creating. It would be simpler to just add icons to the spell. An icon for the primary school, an icon for the type (touch, ranged, aoe, self, etc) and then icons with numbers for each effect. In this, Oblivion was halfway there.

      Magic has some convenient uses even at low levels. Distant unlock spells, telekinesis, slowfall, a modest healing spell, those are all things that will greatly benefit you even if you don't have high skill levels.
      Enchanting and potion making on the other hand, those things are all or nothing.

    • 10 months ago
      Anonymous

      First, enchant is completely broken, it's better than actually casting in every way. So don't get buyers remorse later on, you're basically picking a challenge class if you want to actually cast spells from your own mana.

      So accepting that, early on you can use the premade touch spells that are extremely mana efficient. Then when you have secured a way to regain mana on demand (stock of potions, atronach, etc) you can switch to spell creator nukes. However, tons of enemies in Morrowind have some spell reflection, so you need to either make yourself immune to your own spells (like a Nord is immune to frost, or a Dark Elf is 75% immune to fire and can get over 100% with some equipment) or use absorb spells from mysticism, which when reflected hurt and heal you at the same time which cancels out. The DLC stuff mostly doesn't have reflection (except pigriders) so you can change your nukes a bit but you'll understand the game by that point anyway.

      Tying cast chances to the one skill most people are least likely to level is a cause for minor complaint if you don't give 10 points into Luck at the start unless you just "reroll" with the Console.

        Never played an MMO. For a project like Tamriel Rebuilt to exist for so long it must take an astronomical amount of autism. I refuse to believe that no less than half the people working on it are troons.

        I've played Morrowind at least 6 times. Over 1000 hours into it. I've been following Tamriel Rebuilt for over a decade.

          That's ultimately your choice, but I don't think it's entirely necessary. What's there now feels pretty self-sufficient on it's own, I think they've done a really good job with the last several releases making them feel very fleshed out and not piecemeal content. I use the TR releases as excuses for coming back to check out the game every so often, especially because it would take a *long* ass time to see and do everything in what's currently released.

        That's because Morrowind has 10 difrerent animations for when you hit something. If you can always hit the opponent, you can easily stunlock them to death. Meanwhile in Oblivion they cut it all out and just made them into sponges.

        In this particular case I feel it's less of a design thing and more just me shooting myself in the foot. Trading off speed and the ability to close in on melee combat quickly in favor of playing a mage. It mainly feels like scaling is the issue and I shouldn't necessarily have the walking speed of a cripple but low speed and strength with heavy armor just seems like a bad idea.

        • 10 months ago
          Anonymous

          The slow walking speed was intentional. It was one of the tricks they used to give Vardenfell a sense of scale it did not have.
          The fog andthe inefficient travel system were other things they used. It worked because most Morrowind fans swore Vardenfell was at least twice as large as Cyrodil when Oblivion came out. They are very good at tricking the player.

          Don't feelbad for cheating to beat bad design.

    Morrowind isn't Skyrim and if you're approaching it the way you would approach Skyrim then you're not going to have a good time. Morrowind may receive unwarranted praise due to its cult following but that doesn't mean most of the praise is unmerited. It's a good game, not a perfect game. It does a lot of things right, though.

        Go follow your quest marker because you have no actual mind of your own, Black person homosexual. Was that better?

          Still to difficult. Could you give me written directions telling me exactly where to start and the path I should follow?
          Frick devs for making me think. Just tell me what to do.

              Turn off your brain mechanics like that and Morrowinds directions are greatly appreciated.
              I just want to play your game not think.

                I like simple easy to understand things. Start here and go here is very helpful . Did you play Fallout 3? Did you ever try to use the arrow to find Harold? Just do me a
                favor and tell me the path you want me to follow like Morrowind .
