Elder scrolls morrowind
Oh! I think I've heard of it before. I'll look it up. For anybody who has played it: is it fun?
Morrowind remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game. It's a bit more hardcore RPG than Skyrim for sure, and that may turn some folks off. And it's definitely an older game with most of the dialog written. But it is an EXCEPTIONAL game. The world is beautiful and varied and exploration still feels more rewarding than Oblivion or Skyrim, the amount of lore to explore is HUGE,, the specificity when building and leveling your character out exactly how you want is expansive, and the game doesn't hold your hand - you can kill people who are vital to the main story if you want to, it just lets you doom the world if you really want to.
Nowadays, I'd strongly recommend running it with the excellent OpenMW engine, it's rock solid and performs better than the original game, hell there's even a working multiplayer fork of it!
...and it still leaves a back route to complete the main quest. You just have to murder the living god who is a mantling of Mephala to start the alternate route.
...and then you come up for air after reading the 36 Sermons of Vivec, realizing that very basic steganographic techniques were used to conceal at least a couple of hidden messages withing them and the start branching out from there into trying to understand the concepts of CHIM and the Towers and Amaranth and so on trying to wrap your head around the metaphysics of the setting.
It is amazing but it doesn't hold your hand as far as quests go. There's no big arrow pointing to your objective. Items don't blink or glow. You must read the quest journal and wander around. There's transport options but no generic fast travel.
Also, if you can find a mod to remove cliff racers then use it.
But then how would I satisfy my unquenchable thirst for bird blood?
It's amazing, and don't let anyone discourage you from trying it.
For sure!
It's very old at this point.
It's the predecessor to Skyrim. I would maybe start there.
Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.
Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.
Doesn't change the fact that Skyrim is a lot more accessible for new players.
There is a reason why Skyrim is still one of the most played games on Steam at this time (after 14 years) and Morrowind is not.
It is however why there's like a small group of morrowind guys still fitzing around with mods and updated engines for it.
It's been years since I played. Will OpenMW work with original MW mods, and if not what does it's modding scene look like?
It plays well with original Morrowind mods, including Tamriel Rebuit, which is fucking awesome.
Ooh, good to know. Might have to actually try it out sometime. It's been years since I played Morrowind.
I am not sure if you are kidding but Ram exists to be used.
Unused ram is wasted potential.
I am. I code. Well, kind of. What I meant to say was "I play around with code that takes up a lot of my computer memory, actual memory, and RAM" and I really am quite fond of my little creations that I've made with my code and can't bear the thought of parting with them/basically killing them by deleting them. They're like children to me :,)
This is the weirdest troll I've ever seen, or you're in the middle of a psychosis.
Looking though there account. I think they actually are just insane, like unironically. They seem to have a rather unhinged grasp on reality
They come across very strongly as a 16 year old furry who unironically believes their own delusions. Even by trans furry standards. They seem unreasonably unhinged.
I'm so confused as well
Reading this while high would be interesting
Yes but I think they are not trolling, I think they are talking about those smal characters that you can throw around your screen while you do other things on your computer like vpet on steam. But it is weird to have that running while playing a game. And vpet uses less than a GB so that persons pets seem to have some memory problem unless theirs uses ai and talk alot randomly or something.
I'm not trolling. I just checked my downloads history and it turns out I downloaded a virus that was, in fact, not Morrowind. I should have expected this, however, as I downloaded it off of a website that I was not familiar with.
