Lunchmeat Larry posted:Early 00s Morrowind rewired my young brain to wear out the quicksave button on any game I play lol Same. I play a lot of RPGs and am quick saving every few steps, after every battle, every choice and every quest. It’s second nature to me at this point, and that came directly from playing Morrowind in 2002.

Yeah, it was the not saving that really frustrated me, I'd even had the thought while in town. But it really was a comedy of errors because there was one ally on the ground, and one in melee, but the AI didn't like being in the relatively confined guildhall, so it's this constantly shifting dog fight. And meanwhile I was waiting there with a magic long sword pulled back and ready like I had a loaded gun, trying not to gently caress this up SniperWoreConverse posted:like that time i did the quest where you have to walk across the goddamn planet without talking and i thought to myself "finally, now i may rest in this bed, which is surely ok for me to do" Ok, this was worse, condolences

The code patch has an option (that I'm pretty sure is on by default?) to show ownership of objects. Definitely helps cut down on illegal bed use.

The black tooltip when you hover over stuff is dark red if it's a crime to take or interact with it. Openmw has a bunch of settings to let you change the color or make your cursor change color or whatever but what I described is the default

That makes sense, and while it ruins my funny “what’s the deal with games” observation it also further illustrates that morrowind is a very well-considered world so I’m still happy

So dumb question, but to clarify: Mod Organizer 2 works just fine for figuring out my order on OpenMW, right? They have that CFG thing on the main site but it seems to only follow the specific mod lists, and I've deviated in several ways from the Expanded Vanilla list (including all the body mods instead of just the head replacer, leaving out most of the AI voice mods as well as mods I already knew I didn't want, including an alternate start mod, etc). I presume I'll still need to use the CFG thing to figure out all the little modifications within the config files.

I have awoken today with a troubling revelation. I have come to an unavoidable conclusion: either 9/11 was carried out as a meme by depraved Morrowind coomers, or within the context of Elder Scrolls lore, 9/11 is considered a holy and inevitable event. First we must look at numbers. 1 and 1 together, 11, the number of the Master. Vivec states that these are identical and asks if you could even tell if they switched places. Their interplay is witnessed by an Observer who is maimed or injured in the event. This is (albeit very simplified) the Enantiomorph. Two duelling "1" figures, perhaps crowning a skyline, without any clear victor in their struggle to dominate. And then... an Observer is drawn into the fold. The Observer is destroyed and the battle concludes; the "skyline" is forever changed. A prominent example of Enantiomorph, although disputed by some, is the ascension of Talos. Talos is considered a "three-in-one" figure, most likely comprising Ysmir, Hjalti and Zurin Arctus. It is never made entirely clear why the three had to become one upon ascension as opposed to remaining separate divinities. Certainly this is not a requirement of godhood, Enantiomorph or even related concepts like CHIM. At best we can surmise that there was only one place in the specific pantheon they sought to mantle. One place for one ninth Divine, not three. Lorkhan's space. As a side note, there is of course a great deal of Satan/Prometheus imagery used for Lorkhan, a rebel who was cast from heaven and often referred to as a hole in creation or a missing piece. And who among us does not feel acutely that "missing piece" in the New York skyline? Did the hijackers not believe, indeed, that they were carrying out a blow against the "Great Satan", Lorkhan? This will be important. In any case, does it necessarily follow that all three gave up their identities entirely as opposed to simply taking on some kind of divine jobshare? So Talos is both one and three. I would therefore posit that rather than simply referring to the "Nine Divines", it may be more accurate to acknowledge this great paradox, and instead refer to them as the "9/11 Divines". Talos is also seen by some as part of the fabric holding the material world, Nirn, in place and stable. The other parts of this process are the... Towers. Magical or Divine constructs of symbolic importance or arcane power. Throughout the Elder Scrolls games, we see the Towers being destroyed; crumbling to the earth like an image I am sure we can all picture in our mind's eye. The other type of Tower in TES lore is related to CHIM. More on that in a moment. Also consider the common stereotype of the hardcore RPG fan; a lonely pervert who doesn't get to gently caress much. Picture the hentai found on bin Laden's computer. Vivec teaches us that one of the ways to become a Ruling King is to "reach heaven through violence". Who else but a Morrowind coomer would be so drawn to the promise of being given a wife in paradise? However, there was a flaw in their plan. They did not accurately enact the Enantiomorph. And what is more typical of a fan re-enactment than to miss the point, get it wrong? Picture the popular meme of the point of a work going over the fan's head as he looks on and says "wow, how cool this is to me". Their failure is in changing the role of the Observer. The Observer can be drawn into the battle, certainly - it is not a neutral figure by necessity - but it is not the active or decisive force in the battle. In attempting to act as the Observer, the hijackers interrupted the duelling titans and centered themselves. They reached a false state of Enantiomorph similar to Dagoth Ur's false sense of CHIM, his false consciousness if you will. CHIM is when you can turn the Wheel of creation on its side, recognise the Tower, and realise you are part of one Dream, one "1". Not an "I" or a "hole" but a one, a whole. To know CHIM is to know Love, connectedness. I AM AND I ARE ALL WE. By comparison, Dagoth Ur saw the Tower and believed himself to be the Dreamer; he saw the whole and believed it to be encapsulated within his being. If to know CHIM is to know Love, then surely its opposite, this "anti-CHIM", must be to know Hate. I would posit that flying planes into buildings and killing thousands of people is not a very Loving thing to do. Therefore the attackers reached false Enantiomorph and, in doing so, false CHIM as well. Even within the common understanding of 9/11 and the hijacker motivations, it is no stretch to say that the hijackers had deeply twisted a peaceful and Loving ideal; their false Islam, or false CHIM, could only lead to a false outcome in their attempt to reach heaven through violence. Dagoth Ur - the hijacker - sees the Tower and knows only Hate. And what often happens when one reaches the decision point - the two options, the two 1s - upon reaching that critical point of potentially achieving CHIM? Either you accept the Dream and retain yourself, or you Zero Sum. Or, in other words, you reach... Ground Zero. So we can see clearly how 9/11 was carried out by Morrowind fans seeking to finally have sex in paradise. But how does it imply the other potential conclusion, that Michael Kirkbride thinks 9/11 was good? If we accept that 9/11 was a failed Enantiomorph, an attempt to become one with the "9/11 Divines" previously proven, then it logically follows that if not for the Observer breaking role, it would have happened anyway; the Rebel would have defeated the King. Of course, until it is revealed by the Observer, we cannot know which of the 1s is the Rebel and which the King, so we cannot really know which of the towers would have fallen if not for the attacks. This also coheres neatly with the dual (1 + 1) meaning of the WTC Towers in TES lore. You cannot step outside of the Wheel and see two Towers. That would be absurd. If you see two Towers, then clearly, you are mistaken in some manner I cannot possibly guess at. One of these Towers must fall. In doing so, in a real world context, it is unlikely the other WTC tower would survive the collapse, given the shockwaves, debris and other impact of the collapse. Michael Kirkbride's theory is that the planes were unnecessarily and the WTC towers would simply have done that by themselves, as due to the nature of reality, they could not possibly be allowed to exist. This leads us to two possible options. They cannot both be true; there cannot be two Towers. Either the 9/11 hijackers were doing a funny Morrowind meme, or Morrowind posits that 9/11 was a natural event and, most likely, a good thing for the world.

I wish the OpenMW modding site didn't have it that you can only either opt in or out of the mods that are on the specific lists. I wanted to use the fancier head options because I like hairdos 'n stuff but they wouldn't let me put that into the Expanded Vanilla CFG, so I used the Total Overhaul list with all the other stuff excluded and now I'm permanently playing whack-a-mole with a bunch of irrelevant patches in my cfg file. I might be bad at this modding thing, friends.

OpenMW Modding is great if you don't want to make decisions on which specific mods you want and just want to pick from a set menu, and that seems to be their target audience. Once you step outside of that mould you're kinda on your own, which I mean... I sorta get?

Don't remember if I had to do a bunch of finagling to get it set up that way but if it was annoying I think I'd recall it. I also popped in the Narsis pre-release stuff to just have a stroll around the city and man, it and the surrounding area are so lovely. Didn't grab what I assume are still unmerged interiors that are pending review, so I didn't get to go inside everywhere, but it made me even more pleased about Grasping Fortune being next on the chopping block.
