Morrowind

ebony and glass are like two of the most valuable minerals in existence and they mine that shit a lot

It either just shoots lighting naturally (we know there are other animals in the TES setting like Wamasu who do so) or animals can use magic, which is honestly not that weird since within the context of TES magic is just one of the forces of nature like wind and time

magic spells in TES are sometimes a stand-in for natural abilities some creatures have. like how night eye is a built in spell you can cast as a khajiit but that's obviously supposed to showcase their natural talent of being able to see in the dark since they're cat people. we got shit like the mantis shrimp and the bombardier beetle irl. if we had a bug that grew to the size of bears, i wouldn't be surprised if it could shoot electricity.

dreugh are beastfolk

dunmer kill them and wear their skins

Dunmer truly are savages. The Argonians should have tried harder to finish what the Red Mountain started.

I wonder who could be behind this post....

TASTE LIKE KRAB
TALK LIKE PEOPLE

if you ever go WAY out into the ocean in morrowind you start to find these creepy groups of dreugh spawning in the void. Always wondered what the story was there

That Tamriel Rebuilt side quest with the cult that kept sacrificing people to the Dreugh and me finding their underwater castle was pretty sick.

it's okay to kill and skin people if they happen to be crabs

This is why no one likes Dunmer.

No Argonian ever tried to snip me with their claws then eat me.

they don't have black souls

not real people

Nice try but you get the wombo combo

Did black souls exist in Morrowind?

no

no but you couldn't capture the souls of the "sentient" races at all in that game.

welcome to Morrowind, n'wah

These nigs and the queens always scared the shit out of me as a kid

It's called Dark Souls stupid

Falmer don't have black souls and they're a sentient people.
The black/white soul thing is just a weird mess that doesn't make sense.

The imperial man gets eggs from a coop, cuts down trees for ebony and makes glass out of sand. Meanwhile the dunmer mines for all that.

uhhhh that sounds fucking awesome what city / questline? do u remember?

i look like this

It's at the noted shithole turd-town of Aimrah

Aimrah
Doesn't really matter though because he spoiled the reveal.

Aimrah.

TES ebony is magic non-brittle obsidian, not hard wood
TES glass that the arnor and weapons are made out of is also magic obsidian, but green and presumably less volcanic in origin

yeah, i know. in morrowind you can also capture the souls of the tribunal with azura's star and they'd obviously be a cut above a typical man in terms of soul quality. souls have always just been handled weirdly. and i was just having some fun when i said "not real people" anyway.

I knew you were just having a laugh.
I just wanted to bitch about how the black soul thing makes no sense and is inconsistent since you brought it up.

what was that worm on their faces about anyway?

Each ash creature is a stage that goes up to the ascended sleeper, it's the start of that big tentacle face that bursts out of them.

yeah but why

Are ash slaves meant to be non-dunmer that were transformed?

he's growing a natural saxophone bro

Because they have magic dream cancer

Hey Nerevarine watch how hard I can toot

yeah but why a worm tumor

Because that's how it manifests.

So they can play eventually smooth dream jazz from their face holes

Because, in the province of Morrowind, everything is bugs. Their horses are bugs. Their dogs are bugs. Their chickens are bugs. Even their magic cancer manifests as bugs.

Reminds me of this time when I had a surreal and terrifying experience watching a VHS of the special edition of Star Wars: A New Hope with my mom. I believe this was the late 90's (1998?) but I can't give an exact date so I apologize, however I was approximately 11 or 12. Basically we were watching the part of the film where they're in the Death Star. At one point when confronted by stormtroopers, Luke's nose suddenly extended grotesquely into a strange flesh-colored elephant's trunk. It then flailed around making elephant trumpet sounds scaring the stormtroopers off. I vividly remember this, and I was absolutely terrified. My mom was really jarred and confused and trying to calm me down. Leia then says "that's enough Proboscis Luke" and his nose returned to normal. The film also continued on as normal. Every subsequent viewing of our VHS was completely normal, as with every previous viewing. We had already watched the film multiple times prior to the incident so that precludes it being some strange edited copy which would be weird in and of itself.

I sure hope I don't obtain decent light armor

Even their fucking cheese is bugs

Look up this weird copypasta

It's from Reddit

Back you go.

Pull up a seat, pour a glass, tell me of your travels, Anon Babble
I'm just enjoying a nice vacation back to the homeland, soaking in a little civilization
I think I got ripped off a little price wise and the quest didn't handle travel the way it normally does so when I arrived I collapsed on the dock from exhaustion and thirst lol

I found some old man that wanted new armor but the smith wanted to see Stalhrim armor for inspiration in exchange for it.
Also this thing.

After my encounter with the Lich and doing his bidding (as a wizard in training it's best to make connections) I made my way to Bal Foyen and solved a few problems on the road involving a crashed cart and a Khajit stripper who really shouldn't have told me about it because now she's going to work in a whorehouse.
I turned up at the mages guild only to be asked for a book which can only be found ALL THE WAY TO NECROM NO FUCK YOU I CAME HERE ALL THE WAY ON FOOT TO EXPLORE AND YOU DO THIS EAT SHIT.
So yeah, I'll likely just explore the city now.

I went on a journey of self discovery and found myself and learned that I really need to redo Sotha Sil Expanded's catacombs.

i gave myself a floating door greeter for the house i squat in

Thinking about how much time, effort, and money is being thrown into a furnace for the new Elder Scrolls. Imagine if the Daggerfall or Morrowind teams got even half of that. Fug.

needed at least 3 baths to wash all the ash out of my crevices

Wow, what a nice guy, such a simple request
Also what a weird looking thing, can't wait to sketch it
They do be doing that. Bal Foyen is my favorite TR city so far though, love the TG stuff. Did the Lich give you anything good
It never ends does it lol

Ah sweet, my sleep paralysis demon greets me at the door now

Daggerfall sold like shit compared to Morrowind which sold like shit compared to Oblivion which sold like shit compared to Skyrim

But how did they sell compared to the similar games at the time

Did the Lich give you anything good

Whatever this is. He said it contained knowledge, I assume by that he means it's some way to become a lich and some faggot will want this book later. They can't have it, when I get a house it's going on my bookshelf.

which sold like shit compared to oblivion remaster.

your response?

lolno

Skyrim is the best selling TES.

I fucking HATE money. It kills all the sovl and creativity in these products. The more you spend, the more you gotta appeal to everyone, right? That means less RPG mechanics, less complex and compelling lore, less risks. More "inclusivity", more dull UI, more streamlining, etc.

I fucking LOVE money.

I know this is THE Hlaalu update because we have their capital now, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Then again, I know the Telvanni content sucks and I can't bring myself to join them either, because it will mean banishing myself to the shit parts of the map for the rest of the character.

Morrowind is still the best game. I could write a 50k word essay on how skyrim is mediocre game design. Its a game for walking sim casuals. Skyrim is all setting and lore and story, which is less interesting than morrowind. The gameplay improvements are irrelevant because its still not a good game from a gameplay perspective.

Imagine thinking a stat based RPG with no attributes is good.

Hlaalu niggers deserve the Red Year.

Imagine thinking a stat based RPG with no attributes is good.

I've had people outright tell me it is despite this, and that I clearly "don't know what an RPG is" when I tried to point this out. So yeah, Skyrim fanboys are completely retarded. I know that word is thrown around a lot here, but I genuinely think you either need to be retarded or to not know any better if you're going to bluntly say that Skyrim is a great RPG.

Damn. Hlaalu greed is kinda based as opposed to the shit we see today. Racketeering, swindling, embezzling, drug trafficking, etc > > > > > trying to create the most bland product ever so as many people possible buy it

Redoran (Fighter's Guild -Dungmer)

Telvanni (CRAAAAAZY Mage's Guild -Dungmer)

Hlaalu (Pure certified kosher rabbi approved)

You simply don't understand.

Skyrim is not a bad game at all. The biggest improvement was for the sword and shield bros who never got representation. Sword and board is the best way to play Skyrim and it's not even close. Nothing else gives u that gameplay plus open world

All the best content is in Hlaalu territory

But you don't want to join the Dunmer version of real life business practices (greedy fucks, corruption and organised crime)

My options are Redoran, who don't have content on the mainland, and Telvanni, who are "finished" but were done at a time where the project was moddy as fuck and desperately need redoing
Fuck fuck fuck.

any human race

sword and board

join Imperial Legion and Imperial Temple

kill Vivec

tell Dagoth Ur you're just a loyal subject of the Empire

getting lost doing errands for assholes

hey I lost this shipment in the river can you go find it and bring it back k thx

find it right away

what a lame quest

look inside

500 pounds worth of Dwemer junk

cry as I strip down to my underwear and set all of my inventory on the hill, carefully placing my lock picks on top of the scrolls so they don’t

get smashed on Sujamma and lug it all back into town with nothing but a pair of pants on for decency

return to him sweating more than berenziah at an animal shelter

no not me put in the box downstairs retard

cry some more as I lug them all downstairs, almost spilling them everywhere frantically trying to get past a dunmer woman (future wife) blocking the way before the alcohol wears off

get some pocket change and told to go take a bath because the river is probably polluted with garbage

o-ok

saltrice spills out of my pockets as I bump into the dunmer woman (reincarnation of Azura’s beauty) again on the way

STOOPID (go take a bath dear)

get harassed by bugs retrieving all of my gear

10/10 would do again

A large part IMHO of what made Morrowind so great was the fact that it was rushed to the breaking point, and only after release could they go "Oh shit, uh, time to salvage this IG." I doubt spells like "Mana rape" or any of the more crackheaded ideas (like Vivec being a fucking fever dream maze) would've made it into the final cut if they had ample time, as this was "make it or break it" for the company. Todd would've probably played it more safe if he had the time (maybe we would've gotten some sort of in-game compass, who knows).

I should make a disgraced Legion guy someday. I remember playing one in the 2000s once, but I don't think I got far, and even autistically wandered towns like a guard.

autistically wandered towns like a guard

kek what a loser (based)

I know that quest. That town is a Cammona Tong hive and I swear they give you that job to humiliate or kill you.

STOOPID (go take a bath dear)

The remnants of the destroyed Lyg; Mo Balls "Nirn" from a previous kalpa (maybe or something like that)

I swear the vanilla version of Morrowind just repeats the same spot of weirdly shallow ocean after a while, and teleports you back a bit every few meters so it feels infinite.
There's also that weird message in a bottle just around that point that people back then thought was meant to be some alien thing, but now I know more of the lore I assume it could even be from a previous Kalpa.

weird message in a bottle

qrd?

Favoured attributes for a monk class

It's some easter egg. You can find a bottle in the ocean in the middle of nowhere and it has this weird note in it.
en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:A_worn_and_weathered_note

I swear the vanilla version of Morrowind just repeats the same spot of weirdly shallow ocean after a while, and teleports you back a bit every few meters so it feels infinite.

Maybe. The game crashes if you jump too far out into the ocean so it might be doing some hax like that which expects you to be swimming to work.

Has any lore scholar delved into the subject of Molag Bal's transition between Daggerfall and Morrowind? Is it related to the Muatra incident?

en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Invocation_of_Azura_(Daggerfall)

When I was a Dark Elven maiden of sixteen, I joined my grandmother's coven, worshippers of Molag Bal, the Schemer Prince.

en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Invocation_of_Azura

When I was a Dark Elven maid of sixteen, I joined my grandmother's coven, worshippers of Molag Bal, the Schemer Princess.

my mod idea:
having a one handed weapon equipped with no shield gives you sanctuary points based on your unarmored stat

the Muatra incident

That insult is why Vivec was abducted into Oblivion. Molag Bal wanted to show the lying slanderer what a gentle rapist he really is.

Reverse rape is still rape anon. Mogal Bal just wanted to femdom some people for a short time.

Speaking of Muatra, that Tribunal sermon about the creation of that thing remains my favourite pants on head Tribunal story.

Molag Bal just casually fucking Vivec's decapitate body

Scamp comes in and is called a faggot, making them shit daedra for the rest of time

Vivec's head comes in and demands Molag Bal compare cocks with him for raping his body

Vivec bites Bal's dick

People are watching and decide to do this too

Bal loves this and acts like it was his plan all along to cause a dick biting epidemic

Vivec uses the confusion to create Muatra, tell Bal he didn't find him hot anyway and proceeds to kill anyone who bit a cock at Molag Bal's gay party

Honestly, if I ever find the real Muatra in the game I'd feel dirty handling it.

Last played 2017

Might be time for a reinstall lads, whats the best guide atm. Thinking maybe TR as well

if it makes you feel better, it's all nonsense

Your choice of either OpenMW, which comes with a bunch of graphics improvements and QoL at the cost of not really being faithful to the original
or
using the code patch, MWSE XE, patch for purists, and the optimization patch to make the most bug-free stable version of the original game you can.

Serana reacts positively to your character worshipping Molag Bal it seems he's indeed good at it.

Vivec confirmed non-sentient

got moneyraped by high mercantile traders in the bazaar because it was the only place I knew where I could offload a glass jinkblade

Any Temple skill really

I wish you could have found this out on your own like I did.

due the mages guild quest line

hall leader is obsessed with creature souls

tells me that in some backwater village there are rumours of a mighty sea creature

go to the village to investigate

locals act a bit weird

get roped into a cool conspiracy

haven't played Morrowind in years

decide to install Tamriel Rebuilt

Holy shit this is a lot of content. I don't even know where to start

Same as always: pick a direction

his mercantile isnt 100 by the time he reaches Balmora

yeah he's way too horny for that

That's why I enchanted him into a pair of pants, I'll do him one last favor and rub him against my dick for all eternity

*intense battle music starts playing*

im probably not gonna do it for a while, im still not sure which province its supposed to be in.

I haven't even managed to leave Old Ebonheart yet

Hello!

1. Goodbye.

The bad news is the giant peninsula to the northeast kind of sucks. It's mostly empty space with a few mediocre Telvanni towns dotted around it.
The Imperial city there is good though, as its been redone in the last few years.

There's too much to see for one playthrough. Make different characters for different regions and questlines.

tranny cock rape breeding

IM GONNA FUCK SKULLFUCK YOU TO DEATH, N-WAH.

1. Goodbye

This always gets me.

Stupid question but I deleted my previous TR.esp, downloaded the newest one and simply inserted in my game. Yes I made the mistake of combining OpenMW with Mod Organizer.
I noticed that I can’t speak to some NPCs and some roads are purple. I know that it has to do with the newest TR version.
that was probably my fault no?

tentacled weirdness is vaguely otherworldly, fits the Lovecraftian cult vibes

FLUTED tentacles can make music, which is what tonal architecture is

You specced into white man, the trader specced into Jew. ggez

roads are purple.

Working as designed :^)

but seriously, for that maybe you have to update Tamriel Data. Not sure about the NPC thing. Apparently there's a simple way to fix your save so it works after changing mods but I've never done it.

Did you also download the updated Tamriel Data file? It's separate to Tamriel Rebuilt but is needed since it has all the assets. It was updated recently too.

enter road called The Purple Road

the road is purple

WOOOOOOOW HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOOOOW

Apparently there's a simple way to fix your save so it works after changing mods but I've never done it.

It's easy:

Download Wyre Mash

Open it up

Select your save file

Select repair all

There you go. It probably doesn't work with OpenMW though. I've said it before, but OpenMW lacks a lot of good features and compatibility. It's a real monkey paw because I get it's very easy to use but the tradeoff isn't worth it.

Morrowind has bad gamepla-

playable squid men when

the Telvanni content sucks

Lies. It's on par with the Vanilla game, just bloated.

"Did you know that I'm a descendant of Lord-Admiral Amiel Richton? That's right, the hero of the Battle of Hunding Bay himself. They made him a saint for it, you know? I tell you, we sure showed those filthy redguards the might of imperial steel that day. He was truly a shining example of the Empire, and he's considered a paragon for all those that want to see the Empire made strong again."

Should I move to Vivec? Currently living in Balmora.

me

i don't into grand strategy but that looks really cool

Trannywind

In "vanilla" TR it gives you Necromancer's Soul Trap spell that allows you to get 3 souls from one creature. If you install Necrocraft mod, you actually need this (and to go through incredibly obscure quest) to become a lich.

Trainwind?

Why didn't you include your favorite image? Getting really desperate I see.

Wasn't that a plot point in Skyrim that dwemer fucked them up so hard they reverted back to their beast soul?
I thought it was cool

the only (seen) normal Snow Elf says that the Falmer are recovering even if they won't be what they once were so it can't have been that bad
I mean, they raise and use bugs for armor and weapons and stuff so they're at least as intelligent as Dark Elves already

is that you John Wayne?

is this me?

heading off to necrom from akamora to kill someone without pissing off the indoril elites

Yeah not enough games have degeneration is a thing

Only problem I have is the nightmares that paralyse me.
T. level 55. I have the royal signet ring but don't wear it since it's busted.

dreugh are beastfolk

Don't you like how oblivion just turned them into brainless monster race 9000?

Beat Morrowind

Try to play it again and get bored

Go back to playing Skyrim

Skyrim keeps on winning

implying billies are the same thing

implying Morrowind used the dreugh for anything

"Muh lorebooks!"

Some trick mabrigash sent me into a cave to kill a necromancer but I found a new master

le generic fantasy aping LOTR is le good

Oblivion stans are an absolute joke.

Fuck this hlaaju sneakcuck playthrough I’m making a battlemage freelancer for the new TR content. Anybody know of a comfy mainland wizard’s tower for me to annex?

Keep him for the narsis content. Regret being a telvanni cuck doing it.

There were no giant crab monsters in LoTR thougheverbeit
The real more likely reason Land Dreugh exist is because Bethesda thought it would be easier to reuse the spider daedra skeleton for something instead of giving dreugh their own unique half squid body

There's a Telvanni quest for one of the mainland masters that lets you do exactly that. It's pretty hard because you're going to venture into a daedric ruin for one of the quest items but you don't have to be a master yourself for it, just be accepting to the Tevanni way of doing politics.

Do propolyan indexes work on the mainland?

Yes but the mainland has its own propylon indexes.

>>>Oblivion stan

for having actually played Morrowind

Kill yourself.

i wonder if they will redo the master index plug-in to integrate the mainland or just make a similar such quest.
