Hey y'all, doin a randomized character fun run. Ended up with an imperial assassin/thief type. Doing my usual tutorial-level stuff of going through the Balmora crates and lucked into a scroll of Ekash's Locksplitter!

Gonna hold onto it for a little bit since im doing a "soft" roleplay, but where would y'all choose to utilize it at a lower level. TR or Vanilla of course.

Some obvious choices are for going into Tel Fyr or going after Eleidon's Ward, or breaking into the big vaults in Vivec or Ghostgate. Any other spoilery places come to mind?

Mod mistake in the CS. Made a stupid mistake likely while being distracted by my toddler and accidentally renamed an object somehow and now theres ~70ish instances of a small telvanni exterior piece that have been messed up. Didn't notice til two days and about 8-10 hours of editing later. This is likely only going to be a personal mod, but depending on how nice I made it, i was considering uploading it.

Trying to re-rename it didn't work. Is there an easy way to fix this or am I toasted for uploading it?

Stupid question, probably been mentioned or brainstormed elsewhere, but in short, is the Circle/Tower Concept an "eventuality" of magical research? Every damn wizard (worth mentioning) and their father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate in TES seems to be working in or actively building their own tower in some fashion.

This ranges from the Telvanni and rogue wizards in Morrowind occupying the circular Velothi Towers and the winding, spiraling Mushroom towers, to Cyrodiil's Frostcraig Spire, Arcane University, and many other wizard towers built into forts, as well as the College of Winterhold and other remote fortress towers in Skyrim, to even Dwemer towers and orrerys across multiple countries.

Obviously we know of the "main" towers and attempts at smaller versions like Mirrak tapping into the nature of Solstheim's towers/stones. It seems to be a fundamental part of the "mastering of the magicks of the universe" type stuff where wizards and powerful mages naturally gravitate towards the damn things. Almost like centering and building their power that way is part of how magick speaks to them per se. Kind of like how we have an intuitive understanding of physics just by learning how to walk and run.

Just wondering if I'm thick for not noticing this sooner or if it's just part of the trope and not as deep as I'm making it.

So I am getting back into modding for Morrowind. It's been at least a decade since I've done anything more than simple personal housing mods or some other basic stuff here and there. I don't remember squat about the scripting process and am looking for tutorials for that. I do prefer written tutorials, but videos are fine as well.

I am playing on OpenMW and have the I-Heart Vanilla Director's Cut modlist installed. I'm aware I'll have to use TR_Data and Mainland_TR for my mods. My big question, since I've seen a couple of conflicting answers elsewhere, is "Which construction set do I need to use?" I've seen some posts saying you can use the vanilla set even with MGXE installed, which is odd to me because my (possibly outdated) understanding was that MGXE and OpenMW are incompatible. I've also seen posts stating I should only use the OpenMW construction set.

Hey everyone! Today marks 24 years since release. This game has shaped my life more than any other piece of media in existence. I have over 15,000 hour into playing and modding this game. I figured I'd share my first experiences with the game really quick.

I was first introduced to this game at the age of nine by my brother who got it just before he went on leave from the navy. We spent those two weeks playing every moment we could. The following summer he was discharged and he got me my own copy and we both played side by side on crt tv's on Xbox all summer long.

During those months, I built my first level 100 character. Primo, an orc sorcerer. We figured out all the nifty tricks with that character: how to increase npc skills so any trainer could be a secret master, how to drain our skills so training was cheap, how passing time after receiving the corpus cure just endlessly blasts your strength and endurance. All the good stuff.

Those days will always remain in my heart. Thanks go out to this community for helping keep the flame alive for noobs and vets, the modders who love creating and who keep on building, and the original devs for delivering us such a masterpiece. My boy is 2 years old, and I hope in another 6 or 7 years he will be interested in playing (and maybe Tamriel Rebuilt will be nearing completion by then lol).
