Admit it

Ok but consider the fact that some of us are not retarded and found it just fine so dont need or want the markers.

Uhh, back the fuck off?

The puzzle box could be a bit bigger. Or somewhere other than a shelf at knee height. Even if hasfat cockabolis said "yeah it's a cube about yea big"

No, but I remember an ascended sleeper around where Vivec was that I drug around its cave with arrows.

I thought he was an innocent NPC and was going to help me

the cube is in a really shitty spot and I'm pretty sure it's an elaborate prank, 90% of players followed the relatively linear path to the back of the cave past the lava which thematically seems very "end of the dungeon," don't find anything, and only then go back and realize they missed the puzzle box branch of the dungeon entirely

im retarded and proud!

okay lol

This is the common quest that filters people, but its a good quest to set the tone of the game.

Midway thorough the dungeon is a locked door that actually needs moderate lock picking skill or a spell to get by. So its reasonable to assume a player will get there, not be able to get beyond the door so they go back to town to find the means to bypass the door.
You went in expecting having to get to the end of the dungeon where you will find a red carpet leading down a hallway with torches that have a chest at the end, and the quest item you need will be in that chest because thats the video gamey thing that devs do, they put your objective in some grand hallway at the end of the dungeon.

Nope, the puzzle box is on a shelf in some side room in the first 20 seconds of the dungeon, you dont even need to go into the last 90% of the dungeon. The world feels more authentic because the thing you need really could be anywhere.

i got intimidated when he summoned the skeleton, ran away, tried to cross the ravine to the right but fell and got plagued by a scrib and had to leave all my gear on the ground and walk back to balmora

no i died to that dunmer highwayman cause i was stuborn to ride siltstrider and reach balmora bymyself

Mathematically impossible before level 10

has to be bait lmao

you re a NWAH forever even if you meet all nerevarine requirements

I didn't actually.
I guess I was higher level than most when I did this because I steam rolled it.
Also found that cube without issue.

not opening your journal and looking for the landmarks

ngmi

Funniest shit I've ever heard.

Open MW looking better than MGE each year...I may just switch now

the cube is pretty much as bad as it gets during the main quest, and I'm pretty sure it's deliberately to fuck with the player. outside of that the MQ is mostly smooth sailing.
the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that is even anywhere close to as obtuse is getting that bow in the Ashlander ceremonial grounds that drops off a named ghost. cause if you don't check every npc for loot, which I stopped doing after awhile, you probably won't even notice it's a unique mob. I wandered around that place forever thinking it would be placed somewhere.

one of the earlier fighters guild(maybe the imperial legion, cant remember) has me going into a cave that has ridiculously strong magic items

like actually absurdly broken for how easy the enemies were in the cave (1-50 fire damage for 10 seconds in 20 feet and 2-40 shock damage for 10 seconds in 20 feet)

that's 10-500 damage and 20-400 damage respectively, to all enemies near you

use levitate to go over mountain, see Umbra there

use each item once, Umbra dies after 5 seconds

congratulations, you have one of the strongest long swords in the game and two ridiculously powerful magic items, you've already essentially beaten the game

Morrowind can be really fucking wild sometimes.

cause if you don't check every npc for loot

You got sent specifically to get his stuff and his ghost fights you, you really think it's obtuse to search him for it?

and i miss that instead of gay leveled items with diablo autistic prefixes

I thought it was just a generic ghost mob, it looks the same as the others you fight in the same area and you don't see that it's named unless you check the corpse, which I didn't cause I was used to ghosts just dropping ectoplasm.
still, it's not that bad, I eventually clued in to check corpses, but that's what I'm saying, that's the worst example I can think of besides the puzzle box. the game isn't as hard as people make it out to be. most of the directions you get are pretty good.

yet the game throws this quest at you level 1-3.

what quest? haven't played morrowind much but never got to that quest

It just sounds to me like the game wasn't for you. Your proud insistence that shitty quest markers are needed is proof of this, and puts you in with the dullards who think Skyrim is a good RPG.

I've always done the main quest late if I do it at all so by the time I get to him I one shot him, was surprised to hear that he was a meme to new players

Swing your sword harder

Call me when it has script extender functions. OpenMW still can't run some of the better mods, making it a no thanks from me until it can.

levitate

stab him in the head

float up

float down

stab him again

repeat until deceased

it's one of the first main story quests

Most of the script extender shit is just used for gay modern shit that doesn't fit MW. All you really need is just some balance patches, some bug fixes, and the Skyrim+Cyrodil+TR combo.

Utter gibberish.

actual morrowind discussion on Anon Babble

it almost brings a tear to my eye, thank you anons

you can beat the game at as a level 1 redguard in less than 3 minutes

name three MWSE mods you can't live without, I'll wait

cast 1 pts of levitate for 10 seconds on him

watch as he's stuck doing the Luigi leg wiggling

there are great morrowind threads all the time on Anon Babble recently after the release of Grasping Fortune. legit some of the very very few quality threads you can find on this shit board today.

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

Dodge his spells until he empties his magicka

slap him to death

It's that easy.

Stop gaslightning me niggers I grinded this guy for 3 hours and couldn't win, this is coming from someone who has beated DS3 and elden ring multiple times

he just kept shooting fire bolts at me, so i replied in kind with magic and he fell over
how do people die to him? wtf

Yep. Fun fact: the skeleton he spawns has an RNG weapon. I kept reloading until he spawned with just an axe. For whatever reason when he spawned with a two hander or sword and shield I couldn't get past him to fuck up Granius and make his summon despawn.
You can use this to farm daedric weapons, if you're outside of a place where a Daedra spawns you can keep reloading the save and entering the place he spawns until he has the weapon your character uses to get easy daedric/ebony weapons.

Had to use a console command on my first playthrough to get that bow because of that.

Same, I spent forever looking for that bow and eventually looked it up on the wiki.

I left after he started insulting me

The mage in the cave outside Sedya Neen has killed me more (and some of those times before i remembered to save at all)

dying to rando low level bandit and his ultra low level skelly

haha

lmao xbox baby can't find a fucking box
end your life

before i remembered to save at all)

You guys don't play permadeath?

What fucking shit builds are you guys running

it's pretty decent bait though ngl

that mage is a glass cannon, he does enough damage to murder a fotb player in two attacks but you can generally run up and stunlock him before he actually does anything really easily

Baiteur here. Your post really made me giggle for some reason. Thanks anon.

Yes. This was before I knew about the Stamina system.

They made fun with their boomer threads but in the end Morrochads won.

dying to the mage outside seyda neen is understandable, you can pretty much stumble on that dungeon right out of the gate and before you might have any gear or anything. he hits hard enough to kill most unarmored level 1s before you can do much.

I can't see dying to the guy on the bridge though unless you rush straight there from the beginning, but usually by the time I get there I'm around level 3 and have a bit of gear and he's a pushover.

It's really funny but that stupid fucking puzzle box was a defining eye-opening moment for me.
That was the moment when I realized how the game had gone so far beyond something like Daggerfall. Good old go there do quest could be something much more immersive. There was purpose to the environments, to all the little things. You were just a guy in a real place.

Then we have Skyrim over here with quest markers, endless zombie caves and, as you said, a red carpet at the end of each dungeon with a treasure chest and word wall art the end.

He actually filtered me once until I came back to the game years later

never did. in fact, I want to know HOW do you guys manage to die to this fag. usually I just come in hopping and blasting funky custom spells on his face after unlocking the mage's guild

I ran to Caius. Got the mission. Ran over there. Got killed a couple times but managed to defeat him by dodging his spells until his mana depleted.
