        Literally put any of the Combat Skills in Major. Armor(s) you're not using in minor. Tah-dah: You level up fast and hit shit.

        Of course... you run afoul of the +5 bonus level-up thing that the game has, which is why you do trainers for like 10 levels and then sleep to have the 3 (maximum) +5 stat increase bonuses.

        Morrowind is what you make of it. If you put in time to understand what the system(s) are doing, you can exploit it so fricking hard that Oblivion and Skyrim look like childs play because of it.

        i have the opposite feeling
        its because of Morrowind that i have a hard time enjoying Skyrim and Oblivion.
        we like different things. i enjoy exploring and finding hidden items and those items actually being useful.
        i also enjoy finding locations im clearly to weak for and coming back later, feeling like ive progressed.
        Oblivion and Skyrim throws loot at the player constantly. Weapon and armor you forge will always be better. Follow the way points until you finish a few questlines and you have good enough weapons and armor to ignore everything you find that point on.

            It probably doesn't matter if he's playing PC since he can just console cheat stats anyway. But having to understand the system on the original X-box meant I put all combat skills into major/minor with armors and then trainered the other two skill bonuses (or luck, IIRC it is able to get a +5) from trainers and since Major/Minor was combat and all the quests had some form of Combat, I would literally have +15 to stats for every quest.

          Did he? I mean the main quest past the halfway point basically has you going around to different cities, opening a dialogue box and demanding to be named hortator by the houses and nerevarine by the tribes. And that takes hours of mundane traveling. After that you'll grab sunder and keening within half an hour of getting to ghostgate and half an hour after that Dagoth Ur will be dead which is really anticlimatic considering how long you spent on accumulating a series of titles.

              Everything you do and can do is based on your stats. Your hit-chance, damage, movement speed, jumping height, health, carry capacity, all based on stats. Spell effects are extremely varied, from flying to damage to calming to unlocking and lots of other shit. Combine all these options and you can have a very varied experience. In Skyrim your (viable) options are basically "ok, do I kill enemies with swords, arrows or lightning bolts?". Skyrim is not an rpg

        >beast races look like actual beast races, not humans with animal heads and a glued-on tail.
        Everything else feels worse than Oblivion or Skyrim. Personally, my favorite is Oblivion, since mods fix literally every major complaint about it aside from the goofy physics, but I enjoy those anyways.

        The main takeaway from all of this is that you should decide what you like for yourself. Video games are meant to be fun, so if you're not having fun, you're wasting your time - there's no reason to "push through" something you hate just because someone on the internet told you it's better, or you worry about feeling like you have bad tastes in front of others. Don't let insecurity about your preferences allow others to rule over you.

          What's the "everything else" ?
          The world building and the exploration are both morrowind's major qualities, while they are okayish in Skyrim and absolute trash in Oblivion.
          Oblivion got some good guild quests and that's it. Everything else is meh at best. Combats have even less feeling and feedbacks than Morrowind. The world building is almost non-existent, and the exploration system is dumbed down in favor of following quest markers and spamming the fast travel button, destroying the need for environmental awareness and planning.

          I agree the hit chance/dice roll system in melee combat is a major issue of morrowind, but the rest of the game makes up for it.

                IDK man you decide, the mod requires you to progress deep into the main quest to even have a chance to start the expansion. The reason why this is GOOD is because that particular expansion is actually a sequel to the main quest (yes, really) and you should do it after the main quest to begin with.

      >do enemies scale with your level in morrowind?
      no, enemy stats do not scale, you only have some rare and/or subtle cases of scaling that you probably wouldn't notice unless it was pointed out to you
      for example dremora are maybe the most noticeable case of scaling in the game, their stats don't scale but they do get better weapons
      bonus: most loot is hand-placed and not level scaled either. if it's in a barrel/chest/crate then sure, it's probably level scaled, but anything out in the open is 100% hand-placed and static. this way you can stumble upon legendary artifacts with complete freedom and nothing is locked behind prerequisite quests. morrowind has the most rewarding loot and treasure hunting because of this. no NPC-exclusive clothing either, you can loot and wear every single scrap from an NPC's body.

      >do enemies scale with your level in morrowind?
      morrowind does have enemy scaling. the majority of things you fight wont though. enemies that spawn out in the world, like guar or cliff racers will nearly always be scaled, but humanoids nearly always wont be. dungeons usually have a few scaled enemies too, so a dungeon might have a scamp at level 5, but a dremora at level 30.

      oblivion is a mess though. not only is every enemy scaled to the point that youll stop seeing rats all together because theyve been replaced by bears, but also loot is scaled. like, unique items have weaker stats at lower levels. so youre actively punished for exploring "too early".

      Spells work or fail based on your int or willpower. Make some willpower potions so you never fail at casting spells. You can also max out any skill you want by casting Drain [Skill] 100 on yourself, then asking a skill trainer to train you. They'll only charge you 1 gold since they think you're level 0, then when the skill goes back to normal you'll keep the level up.

      part of the magic of Morrowind is there's only people's word of what happened at Red Mountain, some of who were there, all of which have a stake in it and everyone tells you minor or major contradictions. You have to decide for yourself.

        generally because most people in those communities are trapped in lives where they have zero personal control, agency or even a sense of destiny for themselves. service workers, people confined in unhappy marriages, literally just go to reddit and perform a cross section of posting histories of the average people on places tied to these games.

        people who are deeply miserable in their personal lives and aimless develop an attachment to a product: this is the defining feature of our age. Some people do it with extreme consumerism and spending thousands on anime figurines. others invest their egos (which are bruised in real life) into """hard""" or in morrowinds case, poorly aged games and thus derive a sense of self worth in such tribalism.

            as I described, it's not even exactly a sense of superiority.

            think of it as a form of tribalism, one where by accomplishing and becoming invested in something that is deemed "hard" or "old" or "niche" provides a surrogate for self worth, pride and community that is often lacking in said individuals lives.

    When you make your first character, struggle through your first few fights confused about why you can't hit anything, get punched to death by some low-level peasant scrub as you can't defend yourself, almost install the game, then read a bit online about the mechanics of the game, and go back and make a better starting character with more sensible skills. So to answer the question: after you ditch your first character and start fresh. That's when the game gets good

            Because it uses the same exact mechanics? The only major difference is that block is controlled in Oblivion and Skyrim, and automatic in Morrowind, and your attacks can miss while in the others they pretty much always hit (just dealing negligible damage when they do if your skilsux)

            [...]
            Not sure I would say the combat in oblivion is any better. Skyrim is worse because it's too easy and simple. Just comes down to spamming anyway. I've heard people say elex, risen, gothic have better combat, but mostly come down to oblivion tier memorizing of when to dodge or u can even spam attacks very effectively.

    It never does, in fact it it is actually the most fun at the early levels and actually becomes even more borring and tedious when you level up and become powerful. Tribunal trivialises leveling up since you can sell dark brotherhood gear to the scamp and get 10-50K vary easily to abise skill trainers. Morrowind without tribunal is pretty challenging and will keep you on your feet for the early levels. But Tribunal absolutly destroys any kind of pacing and progression that the otherwise well intentioned skill progression system of Morrowind had.

    Gothic 1&2 (hell even Gothic 3 despite its problems) are all much better and more enjoyable games to Morrowind and Oblivion. I am tired of pretending I enjoy Morrowind, it's such a cheese fest of a game (if you have Tribunal) and so many of presentation and game play have aged like trash (even when compared to other games of its time)

    Gothic finds the right bridge between difficulty and a rewarding sense of player progression while still keeping yoou on your feet in the late game and seeing how strong you have become. While you can exploit and cheese Gothic. It isn't as easy to do as in Morrowind and first time player probably may not think to take advantage of some of the many amazing scrolls early in the game to help them beat enemies they wouldn't even be able to fight. Such as shrinking a troll.

    But it is not their fault. I think many of them shouldn't have heavily invested into vidya and instead have gone the DnD/TRPG route, with the dice, imagination and all.
