60 hours in. The game is so fun. I'm RP as a mage, and I've been trying to find my way in the world. I haven't rushed the main quest yet and haven't joined any House.
In an RP perspective, I don't see any reason why my character would join a house. I'm Redguard, btw. If my character was dunmer, I could find a reason for him to join one of the Houses.
Am I missing much?
As far as I can tell, Dagoth Ur is the only one who gets red
the book was hilarious
I can only think of a handful of occasions during my runs where I used Persuasion.
Taunt somebody into a frenzy
Bribe someone to get better replies
Admire just seems to be an RNG (obviously, race/faction plays a part though) Admire
Intimidate - same as Admire
What might I be missing, here?
"How dry I am... how dry I am... nobody knows... how dry I am....' SHAY! Hi. There. Lesh make a deal. I got... stuff. Lots. Here. See?"
I love decorating the talking mudcrab merchant's little island! Not only does it make the place easier to pick out from a distance, but seeing the little guy surrounded by more riches than the vaults of Vivec always brings a smile to my face.
Genuinely just quite flattered and thankful. Especially since my work is very very minor and niche compared to Tamriel Rebuilt etc. I thought there might be a niche for this stuff and apparently yes.
Genuinely posting this for modest reasons, not looking for more clicks or anything lol. I have no pretensions of seeking donations or whatever.
Hey so I’ve played Skyrim and oblivion but want to give Morrowind a try, what are somethings I should know before starting?
Thinking about getting morrowind but the graphics have been putting me off I know the game is 20 something years old but are there any mods to make the game not look so low poly.
We've all heard Nerevarine vs. Hero of Kvatch vs. Dragonborn discussions. There is a lot of commentary on DB and HoK in terms of abilities and power scaling, but I haven't seen much about Nerevar. According to the lore, where would prime Nerevar fall in the Elder Scrolls order of powers? And how do y'all think his achievements compare to the DB and HoK?
I don't care about which of the heroes comes out on top or whatever. I mainly want to get an idea of the full scope of Nerevar's abilities and influence, and also understand what about him there is to brag of.
Google has sent me on reddit threads and most refer to two sources; A high ranking Hlaalu guy that I could theoretically kill, but I don't know exactly where said dude is and I'm playing a glass-wearing member of Hlaalu and don't want to cut any quests off at the knees right now.
The second thing someone said was "in the tombs around Narsis" and I've absolutely raided this place and I've entered every tomb I've come across but I cannot find them.
I’ve been hearing that Morrowind (Steam) and OpenMW 0.51.0 are compatible with Linux (CachyOS). I just recently built one of those BC250 machines and since I travel for work I’d love to be able to take my modded Morrowind build from my windows machine and “copy it” to my Linux machine. Has anyone done this? I don’t have many mods. Just a few that make it look prettier and Morrowind Rebirth.
If anyone has a resource I can read into or knows if Ican just copy and paste my mods over to my Linux machine that’d be swell. I’ve fallen in love with Morrowind again and traveling is getting in the way. This N’wah has bills to pay…
Thanks!
Basically title.
The potions of drain fatigue are actually potions of speed, but the sound effect for destruction and restoration in that potion makes me sound like I’m going super saiyan.
This is just after flying from Muzleft all the way past the western edge of Solsthiem.
Morrowind is the best TES game hands down.
So, I am going to do a Morrowind run where I complete House Telvanni and the Morrowind Mages guild questlines without casting a single spell, because it isnt necessary for those factions (outside of I believe a single quest that may be circumnavigated).
I just have two questions. The first is which race should I pick; Argonian or Nord? The character is obviously gonna be named Can't-Spell, but I dunno which is funny, an Argonian lady stabbing Gothren on the face to become Head of House Telvanni or a nord barbarian smashing Trebonius' skull in. As an Argonian, I would focus Spear and as a nord, Ax (Nord's full name would be Hroaki Can't-Spell). I think Nord may be easier with the shock and frost resistance.
The second question is, does using enchanted items count as real magic? An enchanted item is necessary for one quest, but it is also the only way I can get experience without buying training. There are two layers to this question; is it permissible to use enchanted items in combat and/or is it permissible to use enchanted items exclusively to meet the level requirements to advance? As in, spamming every enchanted items I can get dry and waiting for it to recharge.
Hello, I'm not much of a poster but I thought I should post my findings so it might help someone else in the future that might try to attempt something similar.
So what I have done is gotten OpenMW to compile for 32-bit ARM. (armhf) as that is the only architecture the M2 Ultra supports.
I will try to keep the technical aspects to a minimum, You can find a link to an indepth summary at the bottom of the post. I will disclose that Claude was used to help with the compilation, debugging & writing the technical summary as I am not a software engineer.
So a little background, I got myself one of these SBC boards and wanted to know what games I could get it to run. Morrowind came to mind as it's old so maybe it might run? I tried to find a ready package from Flatpak and Pi-apps but there was none for 32-bit ARM. After some thought I realized that the game would not run on this board with translation layers like Wine, Box86 etc, so the best option is to get it to run natively.
I made sure to check that the card can run the appropriate OpenGL version: OpenGL 2.1 / GLES 2.0, GLSL 1.20. Once that was clear the project seemed possible so I emulated a Debian ARM environment on my Windows pc in WSL as compiling on the board would take hours.
First I tried OpenMW 0.46.0 which was a dud instantly, it needed Qt4 which wasn't available on the board.
Second attempt was 0.49.0, which I was able to compile and get past the main menu though the screen was black and only drew the cursor and character naming box.
Third attempt I went to 0.47.0 incase I could skirt some of the issues with 0.49.0 but it ended up the same way. I ended up ditching 0.47.0 eventually due to the Mali400 (GPU)(the "Utgard" architecture) has no genuine fixed-function hardware at all. I swapped to 0.49.0 as both versions were compiled and showing the same issue as they both use the same fixed-function OpenGL calls so it didn't matter which version was used. After getting 0.49.0 back to the same point we really brainstormed as to why the game wasn't drawing anything past hud elements. Eventually we tried to mess with "force per pixel lighting" setting and turning it "True" yielded results, the game started to draw geometry. (Shown in the 3rd & 4th picture) After tracing gpir failures we narrowed it down to we believe glass textures, so we disabled "env-map reflections" which miraculously fixed texture drawing and fps. Once the reflections were disabled I got the result that shows in the 1st & 2nd picture, the fps as you can see is quite low but that is to do with the sbc being quite weak and obsolete compared to modern computers.
The game has only 2 notable issues that I have noticed.
Water:
Water shows as white and mostly opaque, not a big issue generally, just visual
OpenMW F3 Overlay:
The overlay basically does not work at all, it's a jumbled mess as. I am not exactly sure why the overlay doesnt work correctly but best guess is that we clamped an absurd request that kept crashing and it could be that, not going to bother looking into it further as I can get the same data elsewhere.
So that is basically it, the game runs poorly but it runs and you could play it. The idea was to see if I could get the game to work, not to play the game like this. I didn't have high hopes for it but it turned out really good considering the circumstances.
I have embarked on a fun little journey in Elder Scrolls- How effective is the same character in each title?
I am making a Redguard Cleric of the same race with the same chosen abilities in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim to see how effective each one is at portraying the respective characters.
While I have stats, factions and such figured out, I wanted to garner what the best Mace and Shield for this type of character would be in Morrowind as I have never played before! I wanted to ask the community their opinion!
