Permenantly alters your strength stat to make you a vegetable

You can move if you drop every single item in your inventory.

Skill issue

he fell for it

drop every item in your inventory. they don't despawn
or, just reload save, since you lost the battle and usually when that happens you die and are forced to reload anyway
next time bring a Recall scroll

if you aren't saving every 5 minutes in a bethesda game anyway you deserve to get shit on.

Game doesn't communicate that stats can be permanently altered

Somehow retards think I'm complaining about the fact that I have to stock up potions and not about the games' piss poor explanation of mechanics

Games forcing you to use a wiki or manual to understand its mechanics is what killed gaming

for me it's this fucking cup

nobody playing morrowind in 2002 had a wiki
as for manuals, i'd rather do some light reading then have yellow paint and tutorial popups everywhere

Games forcing you to use a wiki or manual to understand its mechanics is what killed gaming

Bait used to be believable.

Oh boo fucking whoo

george wheelchair

This is every Bethesda slop game sadly. Yes, even daggerfall.

trusting daedric items

Unironically neck yourself, but i suggest you read up on how to do it. You might fail otherwise

skill issue

That's gaming's natural state. You are what is actually killing gaming. Not that I can really blame you, you're the product of games that have extended on rails retard-proof tutorials.

conjure a wheelchair

i kinda agree old rpg games are "hard" by this single fact and current games should drop intrusive tutorials and put it as a codex or pdf with the game

I deliberately walked into a tomb and got cursed by it's undead inhabitants, now Im cursed! how could this happen to me?

It is your own fault for tomb raiding without being prepared. If it were easy, every fetcher in morrowind would be tomb raiding rather then egg mining. next time go buy some Almsivi intervention scrolls first.

strength damaged

use something that restores or boosts strength

Rocket science definitely requires a wiki
There are damage and drain spell effects everywhere on items and potions and spells. You can learn it by catching a disease or a spell hit from something. You just happened to learn it in the nastiest way possible.
Yes you're expected to read the manual, it's pamphlet sized. I'm sorry the game did not introduce bonewalkers with a two minute cutscene and a comedic relief mascot that spoils exactly what they do before you ever face one. You independently and organically discovered something new and now you have learned the hard way how to prepare for tombs in the future... all without anyone telling you, and that's f*ck*ng terrible.

NOOO DEREKDAMA CHAUVANDARYS TAKE YOUR NECK OFF THIS POOR MAN'S NECK

getting screwed by some second zone mage

it's weary spell actually last like 10sec

in the one bethesda game that let you become godlike

op's not making any effort really

What the fuck do you mean softlocked? Activate your CHM, retard.

Game softlocks you

It's literally no different from if it just had a strong attack that had killed you
LOAD A FUCKING SAVE

drop your shit, cast a feather spell or reload a save
if you had just died you would have had to reload

I waited and it's still there

xhe doesn't carry stoneflowers on him at all times to eat them and restore strength attribute

xhe doesn't have a mark location next to a shrine

xhe doesn't constantly carry recall potions for instant teleport at any point in time

ngmi

permanently altered

again, it's not permanent, you're just stupid and didn't prepare yourself
there are tons of ways to solve this problem, you simply didn't take any precautions

wowww, the game didn't give me a popup telling me every time i'm going to face a danger, how was i supposed to know

did you want a little doom TDA tutorial popup when the bonewalker showed up?

post a screenshot of your inventory

xhe doesn't have a mark location next to a shrine

Why not just use a spell that literally teleports you to a shrine?

shrines are out of reach if you're stuck inside a temple at 0 strength

almsivi only moves you to the outside of a temple, if you couldn't move then it'd do you no good

be breton

get saviour hide

100% resistance to all debuffs in the game

simple as

op's pic is from the wiki down to the filename so i assume it's fake and gay

use Intervention scroll

drop all your shit till you can move

restore strength at shrine

go back outside and pick all your shit back up

idk problem seems solved to me

I can't believe retards like you are allowed to vote.

i don't want the world created in a game to """respect""" my time
i want the world that is created to be worthy of respect

Or just make a restore attributes spell strengh 100 with lenght of 1 second. Costs nothing to cast.

I softlocked myself once by killing the Corpus bitch at the Arena as a child. Took a while before I noticed. Keep in mind I was a retarded ESL kid so doing the pilgrimage was a real pain in the ass

is this your first RPG?
this is an extremely common mechanic

Make a custom "Restore Strength 10 points for 3 seconds spell

Never worry about this shit again

In today's news an ordinator was seen kneeling on a redguard males neck after he went to pay for a squib jelly sandwich and tried to pay with fake drakes.
The redguard male purportedly swallowed large amount of raw moon sugar.

Even the skull is chuckling at you for being such a fool.

You're playing vidya, you dont respect your time

Imagine sucking this bad at video games

Not mayoring Restoration

It's like you hate yourself.

B-b-bu-bu I'm playing as a barbarian!

Your retarded character doesn't deserve to be Nerevarine. Actually, there are smart barbarians that learn mayor Restoration, because they have brains. Unlike your character.

mayor

fucking phonefag

Fuck you and major Restoration

Souls game gets released

an early game boss gets considered a casual filter

Anon Babble proclaims they didn't get filtered

morrowind gets brought up

a regular enemy appears

filtered

soulsbabbies are pathetic.
Learn game mechanics for once.

You’re expected to have saves. Morrowind gives you the freedom to fuck up your game.

This is another reason why I love Morrowind

Oh, you fucked up and killed someone important

Here's a message warning you that the game is possibly unbeatable now

But don't give a fuck? No worries, have fun anyway.

The game says you can no longer beat it

You can actually still beat it

Todd?

how bad do you have to be to let a bonewalker drain your strength to zero? Let me guess, you didn't put any combat skills as you major or minors because you wanted to roleplay a merchant?

use only one save and save when you get failstated

game is now softlocked forever

this can happen in any video game you're just retarded lil nigga

drop your items

what if a Redguard steals them?

Characters dying to bullshit is a core aspect of role playing games.

do a sidequest

It happened to me a few times as a kid. But that's what intervention scrolls are for. I'd always use em then drop my shit in front of the shrine. Got me in trouble a few times picking up items I had previously stolen. But yea, replaying as an adult this shit never happens to me because I know to avoid it.

Nigga we had gamefaqs. I remember one time my mom got mad at me for printing a 600 page full walk-through of morrowind off that site lol.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Nothing says Morrowind novice like this

You can't fulfill the prophecy anymore, doesn't mean you still can't get shit done.

Retards like you better never play diablo 1 in melee. There is no cure bitch

I mostly play shooters like Battlefield and Halo. I'm not used to open world games. This game already has too much to follow. I only played this on recommendation of a friend of mine. I do not understand how you guys can play games like this.

Officer I can’t move!

>No potions because you already used them all

No spells because you don't have enough money yet

No scrolls because the game said fuck you

Fortify potions can't offset the damage done to your strength

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T ZOOMERS HANDLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT? It's like everything has to be a cooldown because you're so fucking retarded. Like it concerns me to think how irresponsible with money you must be IRL.

The game gives you a ton of Sujamma and alcohol shit with absurd buffs. 50 fucking points of strength for a whole fucking minute. You have no excuse. Zero.

The fact that this is who they're designing games for now. Jesus fucking christ. Just a simple Resident Evil game would totally rape you.

And it stacks too. IT FUCKING STACKS

Why are there so many fucking Morrowind threads all the sudden?

It weights too much.

Oblivion remastered couldn't get it up

I love people defending a obtuse, gotcha mechanic that is instantly solved by just using a wikia before

Are you too retarded to drink a restore potion?

picks up every single piece of armor and weapon off every corpse

it weighs 3.

Especially when NPCs literally tell you to stock the fuck up on restore pots, how handy intervention scrolls are etc. And "cheap potion of restore strength" that shows it restores your strength stat must also be too minor detail. If he's baiting, he really got me.

I love it

yes, older RPG's didn't hold your hand and autosave every time you did anything.

Reload autosave you wanker

Okay hear me out, senile Joe Biden as Uriel Septim VII

Look jack, my sons are dead

Well, Hunter's still kicking, Mr President

I think I seen you in my dreams, man

Guest starring Hunter Biden as the unlikely hero Martin Septim

How much agi/weapon skill do you actually need to not miss most of your attacks, and do people really farm that manually

Players don't read even if the game pauses and shows them a tutorial popup

Use the trainers. Do not fight if your weap skill is below 35.

damn this game is ugly, quake 1 looked miles better

lmfao that shit is loony. alright then. so are you stealing the plate in seyda neen or what? I guess my question is what is the average or developer 'intended' non-exploit means to be able to really go out in the world. Crazy how strong that second bandit in the first bandit cave is.

As a new player I don't know to trust all of those things yet. Restore pots yes obviously you get, but the strength stat stuff, I don't know, you have to learn the value of that stat

non-exploit means to be able to really go out in the world

Making a build that doesn't suck shit would be a start.

Your base hit rate is your weapon level, +1% per 5 agility and another +1% per 10 luck, then the whole thing gets multiplied between 0.75 and 1.25 depending on how full your fatigue bar is.
If you have 50 agility and 40 luck against an enemy with 0 stats you'll get 100% hit rate around level 66-67 in a skill.

Is Strength/Agi with Warrior while wielding the weapon you have a major skill in, wearing armor you have a major skill in, not enough? I tried it and I missed probably 20% of the time still. I'm just asking

The intended way is to not scream and piss yourself the instant you miss an attack. Enemies don't have good stats at level 1 either.

Ah, thank you.

Hey man I'm not screaming or pissing, I just realize you have to whiff against scribs for a long time before you can go most places outside of town. That's all

Are you just spam clicking to attack or something? You have everything down, you shouldn't be having trouble with the cave bandits.
80% hit rate out of Seyda Neen is optimal.

Oh you know what it might be the spam clicking.

Restore Endurance

Restore Strength

Cheap as hell and casts 90% of the time with 30 restoration.

all these faggots defending soft lock situations

it's bad game design. It has nothing to do with reading the manual.

it's not, it's interesting game design
but you are a tasteless prole, so you have no clue

It's not a soft lock. There are several ways out that will at most temporarily inconvenience you.

How the FUCK am I supposed to level enchanting

Recharging magical items with soul gems

Soul trap every last rat and recharge equipment with it

Not all quests send you to the wilderness. Do the easy quests > save money > buy necessities > pay trainers > go outside

Is Strength/Agi with Warrior while wielding the weapon you have a major skill in, wearing armor you have a major skill in, not enough?

No, Anon. It's not enough winning battles. You also have to survive the outside world. You have to heal yourself, recover mp, heal diseases, recover drained/damaged attributes, mark/ recall, etc.

I should probably explore more around then. Seyda Neen must have quests like that which I haven't seen. I get too focused on getting to Balmora I think

its bad game design lil bro, your supposed to be given what you need to beat the situation when it arises

Take the strider. You can walk to Balmora, but it's easier to just take the strider. There is a cave right outside Balmora. Loot it. A corpse with a bit of money, too.

You can get like 100k gold in one hour of starting a new character

I just don't know how to do that

The corpse is in the swamps. It's the taxman.

This unironically, it's even logical and lore-friendly to have strength restore potions or scrolls in chests within tombs.

I played morrowind when it first came out and dropped it because my neglected, and untreated adhd child brain couldn't handle it without making me want to rage.
I'm picking it up now though, been playing a lot of old rpgs/crpg lately (playing bg3 made me realize how mediocre it actually is and gave me the itch to play older games). Do I start with tamriel reloaded on for all the extra content, or play vanilla? thanks in advance.

(Weapon skill + Agility/5 + Luck/10) * Stamina multiplier + Fortify Attack
To my understanding this is how you calculate it.

You also have to make sure your stamina is full when you start a fight. The lower your stamina the higher your chance to miss.

No no no. See I'm the guy who's been here asking about how to stop missing my attacks, and even I feel this game has that classic adventure game fucking real shit where you would log in as a kid and run around curious as fuck really understanding this was a scary world, doing everything you could to do what you can. And then you'd go to school and trade secrets and figure stuff out and I just gotta say I'm happy the game is the way it is even if I can't run around like a retard like I want to

What are your stats

Join the Fighter Guild ASP. They are in Balmora. Just take the strider. They'll take good care of you.

So endurance bar management is a really big mechanic then, right? Hate to ask for gameplay spoilers but what's the formula or at least the average length of a decent player's charge attack?

Oh no my weak retard arms can't carry all this shit

Just drop your inventory or reload.

part of one of many religions in the game

use blessing that are everywhere in tombs

problem fixed

Spend all your gold at the trainer

Define 'reload'. Like make a whole new character?

reinstall the game

Buy the game again on a different computer

You know what, I'll give you this one. I think we all got fucked by bonewalkers at some point. Well now you know. On the other hand, you should have saved before entering, everybody knows Beth games have never been particularly stable.

Max listed weapon damage when the animation stops

Fatigue management is almost all there is to it (not just for combat btw), along with not using a poor weapon skill (below 30).
Charging attacks does not change your chance to hit, you merely increase the damage. The damage range you see on a weapon isn't random, 1-10 means minimum damage of 1 (attack spam) and maximum damage of 10 (hold until animation stops, then release). Depending on the weapon type you may want to spam instead of charging your attacks.
If the fight is easy and you're not in danger, consider spamming attacks in order to level up the skill faster.

everyone in this thread pretending to be some clairvoyant epic gamer that just knew the solutions to everything before they encountered it and were prepared

You can get softlocked by one of these in a tomb right outside the starting town. Stop trying to show off, you know it's a bullshit mechanic and place for it it's okay to admit it.

3 what?

(cont) Here's some kit worth carrying:
restore health pots, mana pots, soul gems for equipment
cure disease & cure blight
levitation pot or scroll, water breathing
Almsivi / DI scrolls, mark and recall pots
lockpicks and probes or lockpicking scroll
arrows etc. if you're doing that
restore strength as you found out, but any stat can be drained so you might want a small collection when you're well set up
fortify strength / feather for recovering fat loot
real life paper pad for notes
something silver to smack ghosts if you don't have anything else that will
remove poison for when you fail at lockpicking
big stack of flin for administering beatdown to tough guys
plus weapons and armor and stuff

the tip to not miss your attacks that even works at lvl 1:

Pick a main and make it a main skill. this will make you an apprentice in the fighting style you pick.

keep your stamina up, empty bars will make you miss everything. Drink potions and liquor

As long as your skill is above 25 and your stamina is enough, you wont miss often if at all

Stamina bar even affects your chances to successfully cast a spell. You sell items for lower prices when your stamina is low. It affects almost everything

reload your ir life you dense faggot

>No potions because you already used them all

>No spells because you don't have enough money yet

>No scrolls because the game said fuck you

This is all your fault. Git gud.

Game tells you to be prepared

Game has restore strength potions

"Mmhhh maybe the game will lower my strength at some point".

when the game was new with no guide I figured out how to steal the platter and warehouse key. I was 12?

I dont care about whatever you guys are arguing about
I just find the meat and potatoes of the game to be lackluster
Combat is pretty boring
Travelling is pretty boring
The story was written by drug addicts
The item economy is easy as shit to break when a walking pile of 1000 gold spawns in front of your bed every 5th time you wait or sleep
I am a fan of fantasy storytelling, inventory management, dungeon crawling, and character building. But is all happens at such a snail’s pace if you play blind, and wikiing stuff spoils the fun anyway
I uninstalled after about 3 hours

Lowering strength is one thing but mmaking you immobile in a cave is another. Especially for new players, there's not reason to believe 0 strength wouldn't just cause overencumbrance and slow walk/no jump like Oblivion or Skyrim.

Effectiveness for rolling to hit, evade or block is = (0.75 + (0.5 * (Current Fatigue / Maximum Fatigue))) which can get painful. This can be especially bad when unable to even hit the target. Just keep an eye on the bar and don't run it down to 0 by running around unless you have stamina potions to use. Other skills are affected in other ways so generally wait for the bar before doing just about anything even lockpicking and merchanting.

In other words: filtered

not really. Morrowind is loved as a classic rpg because you can brick yourself by doing something like hitting 0 strength or 0 fatigue.

My take as well but much more eloquently put. It took me over 30 hours to gove up on it because these threads assured me it would get good eventually.

you should have an amulet of intervention at that point

that is ok, it isnt for everyone and there are other games to enjoy as well

I'm stealing this and killing Vivec with it at the end of this run.

I just found that and I left it the fuck alone

Muatra huh? Very sus of you. Vivec will enjoy that. And / or find it hilariously ironic.

drop shit until you can move again

go through boxes and whatnot until you find 10 gold if you don't have it already, gold is weightless

donate the gold at a shrine or altar for a restore attributes blessing (not all shrines have it but every temple should have a shrine that does)

optional: recover the shit you dropped

he's standing right behind me isn't he?

lol happened to me too when I was young. Had to drop everything. Took forever to find a shire. lmao to be young and stupid again.

Is there a shop mod? What I'm looking for is the ability to dump glass jinkblades, daedric weapons, self made potions and general junk on my personal shopkeeper and have them turn into a reasonable amount of gold over time.

hello n'wahs
just started the game for the first time today, with Cyrodiil/Skyrim/Tamriel.
Have some questions.

Training magic seems like complete cancer without custom spells. Do I really need to go make a custom low cost spell to spam? Or do I just suck it up and go find a trainer when I've got a lot of money? But then I'll need to basically not use magic for a while...

What is the point of using Light Armor over Medium or Heavy? The game doesn't show me if/how it affects my evasion.

Is there any form of lock bashing in the game? Or do I need magic/security?

Is block worth taking without shields?

Does wearing armor affect spellcasting chances? Stamina level?

Are there Divines/Daedra questlines in this game? I've only really seen mention of the imperial cult, which I haven't even looked into.

3eez nutz lmao

I'm stealing this

is it really stealing? pretty sure it doesn't count as stolen, could sell and re buy it anyway

training magic seems like complete cancer without custom spells.

Join the Mages Guild. Do their quests. As you raise in ranks, training becomes cheaper. Don't be afraid to teleport back to safety. Sell everything you looted. You can try again later.

What is the point of using Light Armor over Medium or Heavy?

You move faster with light armor. Light armor weights much less than heavy.

Is there any form of lock bashing in the game? Or do I need magic/security?

If you are a mage, just scrolls, or make a 50 and 100 unlock spell.

Is block worth taking without shields?

No. Don't be stupid. Get a shield.

Does wearing armor affect spellcasting chances? Stamina level?

No

Are there Divines/Daedra questlines in this game?

Yes. They are hidden. Talk to people.

What is the point of using Light Armor over Medium or Heavy? The game doesn't show me if/how it affects my evasion.

It weighs less leaving more room for more loot / better movespeed

Is there any form of lock bashing in the game? Or do I need magic/security?

The latter

Is block worth taking without shields?

It does nothing for you without a shield

Does wearing armor affect spellcasting chances? Stamina level?

Wearing armour does nothing, but success rates decrease when you're more fatigued

Are there Divines/Daedra questlines in this game? I've only really seen mention of the imperial cult, which I haven't even looked into.

There are daedra quests but you won't find them for a long while

Making money is super easy in Morrowind, so training isn't that hard, its also not limited live Oblivion and Skyrim, you can train is much as you want

Morrowind early leveling tutorial

Trainers ruin the game. Change my mind.

Are you supposed to just hit scribs and rest over and over again?

lmao why is this so funny

Levelling combat skills from 5 is genuinely impossible

There's nothing wrong with being able to speed things up provided you got the gold to do so. If you want to be a perma jobber for 40 years mindlessly grinding your stats before being able to kill any remotely challenging enemy idk play something like Kenshi instead

but shields are LAME
how am I supposed to roleplay my cool imperial samurai with a big ugly shield huh??

how am I supposed to roleplay my cool imperial samurai with a big ugly shield huh??

If you are using double handed swords, you shouldn't pick shield at all. If you are using a one handed sword, then don't be stupid, and pick up a shield. Being alive > looking cool. Shields are cool, anyway.

Being alive > looking cool

Now that's just factually incorrect.
I do wanna get a dai-katana eventually, but I just have a normal katana for now.
