Are there mods for that?  ). Morrwind isn't really a game I'd recommend taking seriously, just break it entirely and then do whatever the heck you want, it's way funner like that.Go crouch in a corner near an NPC for half an hour, get your sneak to 100 like that, and then you can do what you want. My favorite character used Bound Longbow on a pair of gloves, wore no armor, and used Boots of Blinding Speed to be able to outrun his own arrows. Eventually he learned some flight spells so he could hover around in the rafters of dungeons raining death from his magically unlimited supply of bound longbow shots (Bound Longbow is also the second most powerful bow in the game, so you never need to upgrade.) Whatever you do, you definitely want boots of blinding speed, it makes the game a lot less painful when you're running around like The Flash.

Are there mods for that? Morrowind is a game that can be broken in half with a little sideways thinking, you can make yourself ridiculously powerful in a few completely legitimate but pretty dumb ways, and that absolutely includes magic. The potion, enchanting and spell crafting can combine to allow you to create spells and items so idiotically powerful they cease to be useful, because they murder everything within draw-distance including you. Also, there are totally mods for that (aisle five, ignore all the lizard tits).

I recommend also in Morrwind, making ridiculous goals and following through with them. Like, say, stealing EVERYONE's shoes, and then finding a house you like, killing the occupants, and arranging your shoe

Yep, I love the Thumbs tangents, and I like how it's not all ultra-serious analysis, though it's a different dynamic when there's five smart enthusiastic people talking at once. I really enjoyed the duo streamcasts like the Far Cry 2 stream where it was more focused and personal analysis of a game, but it's a tough thing to do with a weekly podcast which is topical by definition. beef express fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Nov 4, 2014 |

coyo7e posted:Probably. The thing about Morrowind is that you don't need to worry about playstyle - just figure out which skills you wanna use and make sure they're not primary skills, otherwise you'll level up stupid fast and end up hosed. If you do have a goal, look up what the best weapons/etc work with that, and then early on just make a point to go grab whatever it is you want.. For instance there's a sick katana on a guard in a field in the middle of nowhere, which is really easy to get. And abuse alchemy. Make potions to increase your stats, drink those, and then make more of the same potions, rinse repeat until your numbers are ridiculously high - then make a grasshopper potion that allows you to literally leap the length o the world (make sure you've got featherfall potions to halt your momentum when you are over whatever your destination is - you'll never land except in the ocean You're thinking of Oblivion. After you gain a few levels in Morrowind you start to outpace the leveled gains of enemies bit by bit, until by the time you hit 20 (where the leveled lists stop) there's little in the base game that is a threat to you. Also hostile NPCs don't level up, so enjoying steamrolling bandit caves with level 5 enemies guarding level 20 loot

In case anyone was still wondering, GoodGamers.us is totally still a thing guys, even if:quote:When Goodgamers.us launched we had a stream of content. Articles and features that updated weekly, from reviews of the latest AAA titles to lesser known text based centaur love titles. As readers, obviously you can see there’s been rather a lull in the content we’re providing compared to how strong we started out. In that regard, we have failed you for not always keeping you informed in the current goings on. Behind the scenes we had a bout of miscommunication, leading to less pieces being published and some individuals leaving the site, including Stephanie, the original founder of Goodgamers.us. e: And remember, it's all about ethics in games journalology guys: The official Twitter of Good Gamers Dot Us posted:Any devs who want us to look at your games or would like to talk to us about your games: please email thegoodgamersus@gmail.com sub supau fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Nov 4, 2014 |

I think we can all agree that we need more text-based centaur love game titles. I honestly have no idea what title that fox-eared chick with the mic is from - guess I am not known to read any major gaming sites. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Nov 4, 2014 |

Probably the worst mechanical mistake the Elder Scrolls series made in both Morrowind and Oblivion (re leveled lists) was having the amount your stats went up at each level based on how many skills you gained that level, making the game even harder than it would otherwise be if you leveled too quickly; one of the simplest fixes for the skill and level system would simply be making it so all the stats went up 3 per level (maybe 2 if you played on hard or 4 on easy or something) instead of a variable 1-5 depending on how well you understood and gamed the system.

Hakkesshu posted:Too much of the discussion on Thumbs lately has revolved around "here's a well-liked game that I played for an hour, let's spend 30 minutes talking about this one thing I don't like". This is why the Super Best Friendscast has become one of my favorite gaming podcasts. Sure they're a little shouty and talk over each other, but they play the poo poo out of games, and do so enthusiastically. They're the antithesis of the "here is what I gleaned from the 1-2 hours I forced myself to play a videogame this weekend" feeling.

I like Super Best Friends sometimes because they're the only ones who talk about stuff like fighting games, Bayonetta and Smash Bros in any detail other than "It has these characters, I played it" On the other hand they've spent like an hour of the last month of podcasts talking about everyone's Japan trips. I went to Japan earlier this year and initially it was cool to hear but by now it's like poo poo guys I get it.

That poo poo was the loving height of satire and the games have sucked since they handed them over to fans to develop.

Phone posted:8-4 Play is still really solid. I couldn't stand 8-4 Play after a few months of listening, but I also haven't listened to it in almost a year so maybe it's better now. I just felt like they tried too hard to be the Bombcast in its prime and just fell flat, in that they tried to be zany and crazy without knowing how to do it well and not be annoying about it. But again, it's been a while so maybe it's different.
