Morrowind [merged]

what about the guy that can go underwater?

Yeh this game pwns, I played for a long time. If you new people have any question Ill answer I pretty much know everything about it.

Oh yeah, the Argonians look cool as hell. They isn't anything terribly good about them though. They also can't where helmets or boots, which is a big minus. But by the end of the game, your character is usually so powerful that it doesn't matter.

thats what i was when i played it, an argonian. i was goin underwater and shit, it was sick. is it worth being one of them?

that sort of sucks, can you adjust the difficulty at all?

Yeah, you actually can adjust the difficulty level. There is a difficulty slider in the in-game options menu that starts at 0 and can be lowered to -99 or raised to +99, which would give the game a massive increase in difficulty. But it is very satisfying to create a staff that can summon five powerful creatures at once and watch them tear everyone up, so there are some benefits to being super powered. And Argonians aren't too bad. I would place them roughly in the middle of the pack. There water breathing and resistance to disease means that you won't have to waste anytime buying/ casting the spells for any reason.

Keep in mind also that it is at the end of the game that your character is unbeatable. Throughout the game there are plenty of chances for you to get your ass handed to you.

good to hear, i dont mind being unbeatable at the end. frustrating games arent very fun.

If you get the game for PC there are some great mods that will make all the faces in the game look better and I use all them. You can't blame Bethesda for the lack of decent faces but some of them really do suck. there's some great Wood Elf heads out there (Rhedheads or something) so I sometimes hike about as an uber Wood Elf Archer

Yeah, PC is definitely preferable over the Xbox. With all the hard to find glitches you could end up screwing yourself on the Xbox, but with the PC you can simply input a console command to fix the problem.

what do you mean hard to find glitches, and im already getting it for the xbox because i dont like playing on my computer, especially on a game like that that's huge and im gonna be playing a lot.

ok im stuck in morrowind, heres my problem.

im doing the fighters guild quests for hrundi from sadrith mora and he gave me a 2 part mission. the one mission was getting rid of a corprus stalker in berwen the traders shop that was blockaded upstairs and i did that. the other one was doing the bounty on rels tenim. i found out where hes supposed to be which is in shalit, a cave hideout on some island but he isnt there. i dont know what to do. the only idea i have is that someone said he left the town to go to the cave at "night when neither masser nor secunda could be seen."

wtf is masser and secunda? im lost, is it the sun and the moon? what time of night is the sun and moon both out in morrowind?

can someone please help me, id really appreciate it.

nevermind, figured it out. you gotta float up to these rocks that i didnt see before. thank god for faq's on the net.

what do you guys think of it? i am playing it right now and im wondering wether it gets better or if its worth playing at all, and i have some questions as well...

I really never got it. Freind gave me the game a few years back. I got off the boat as a really ugly guy, went through really muddy, rainy, foggy terrain, fighting really ugly muddy almost alien-like creatures, had to walk for 80 miles fighting clones of the same really ugly muddy almost alien like creature just to register to vote or something like that. I then realized that the movements were awkward and ugly, the characters were awkward and ugly, the swords and stuff were awkward and ugly, the terrain was awkward and ugly, and everyone hated me or wanted me to stop stealing their stuff, and was an evil dark elf, so i decided to **** it, left, came back because playing a girl might have been hawt. (I mean, girls fighting aliens in the mud? evil face ) and logged in as the elegant and cute wood elf, played her for a bit, took off her clothes, took a look and realized that she was ugly and awkward as well. The only thing i really enjoyed about the game was the sound. were there any good things about this game that I may have missed because i was too taken aback by how crappy everything looked?

some guy in the thread that got closed said that it might have been because the game wasn't my cup of tea, and that isn't true, because i love oblivion, i still play oblivion, i love kotor, i still play kotor, i like resident evil, and i still play resident evil...

This game was one of the most addictive games I have ever played, second only to Fable and equal to Oblivion.

And Oblivion and Morrowind had alot of differences, and both games had certain things that made them better than the other.

it might have been that oblivion seemed to be realistic and beautiful and this is just unreal and dirty? idk. whats one of the redeeming points of this game?

Well I feel like Morrowind had more in it than Oblivion for one to be honest.

maybe i got the feeling that if you counted up all the inhabitants of oblivion, you'd come out with a few hundred. I mean seriously, after all that bragging they couldn't come up with a few hundred voice actors?

They at least could have copped out like Fable 2 and have one dude play several people lol...

But I just think Morrowind had more quests and stuff as well.

You can't let graphics get in the way of you seeing a game for what it truly is. Morrowind had an involving story, and hours-upon-hours of sidequests. To accuse Morowind of being bad on basis of graphics is akin to accusing Final Fantasy 7 of being a bad game because of it's graphics.
