The other day I reinstalled Morrowind, and I plan to run through it by actually doing the main quest. This thread is for shitposting about the greatest science fiction RPGs of all time. Who are the best races and why is it Dunmer and Khajiit? Which is the best game and why is it Morrowind? Which character is most fuckable and why is it Crassius Curio? These topics and more can be in here.

Morrowind really is the best Elder Scolls game, by some distance. Love those pointy elf faces.

Sure the series peaked with Morrowind, but not because the game itself was good. Just because they constantly asked themselves how to make the lore and setting and story blander and more generic after. "We noticed in Oblivion we had accidentally created multiple slightly distinct cultures, and we had a brainstorming session, and came up with the genius idea that everyone is a Viking"

At the start of the game of Skyrim, the empire no longer exists. It was destroyed in the war with the white-gold concordat. Cryodil is loving wrecked. It's Europe after world war II. A fifth of what the empire was abandoned to the concordat. I think it was Hammerfell. Still, they managed to fight the elves to a standstill, even without the help of what was once their country. With the assassination of the skyrim high king, the province is in rebellion. 2/5 of what was once the empire are in open warfare against the aldemeri dominion in their illegal war of aggression, and yet people still fall over themselves to join up with legionnaire collaborators. It just doesn't make sense.

The decision gets a little easier if you're of a military bent when your alternative is being a Stormcloak chud

According to the Pocket Guide to the Empire (1st edition) Cyrodiil was supposed to be a jungle. How we got a bland western European medieval stereotype instead is something I'll never forgive.

Why are nerds always dreaming of a Black Marsh focused elder scrolls game. I can't think of a more terrible setting than a swamp.

Obviously Bethesda should shoehorn in fantasy climate change in TES VI to turn Cyrodiil back into a jungle.

Blackmarsh sounds cool. Impenetrable disease ridden partly underwater (iirc) cities run by walking trees. Scary enough to run off the daedra. All sounds very promising. I think another aspect to it is the portrayal of The Hist (walking trees) as being related to Sithis and elder scrolls nerds are all about that dark brotherhood poo poo. That said, I doubt any actual game we recieve actually does much with these concepts.

Here's a beautiful English plain, and vaguely medieval castles, but this time the commoners are lizards.

The dark brotherhood sucks poo poo and is for edgy teenagers. Give me a cool orb to ponder instead and a big sword to swing as I play the correct elder scrolls class BATTLEMAGE.

Is it Morrowind where you can't join the magic guild unless you already know how to fly, so you can access their flying-only clubhouse?

Actually you can totally join the mages guild all you gotta do is pick a few mushrooms. But if you wanna be one of those slave owning wizard dickbags over at House Telvanni you gotta know how to fly.

C0da is such an insane ride. Part of what made morrowind so good is that its eldritch secrets drove kirkblade insane.

There's only one "official" assassin faction, the Morag Tong, they won't let you join the Dark Brotherhood. Thankfully House Telvanni, in addition to being an alternate Mage faction, also doubles as unofficial alternate assassin faction, since they're assassination-happy ancap wizards who believe in Klingon promotion as long as you aren't dumb enough to get caught.

Did you know that all the factions, even the unjoinable ones like camona tong, have their own favoured skills and rank structure? https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Factions look at this. loving census and excise is an actual faction, with three members.

I think I'm about halfway through daggerfalls main quest and I somehow tripped over thee oghma infinium through like a quest pack mod or something. It's ok honestly but you need to remember to sink money into trainers whenever you are in town. Also I bought a boat and with the bug fixes in unity it owns. ⛵️ edit: lmao they added a quest where you go talk to ancient lich and he calls you a little baby wizard and summons a horde of undead on top of you if you don't use the 5 second window to run for your life. Extremely proper lich feel ftw. Lawman 0 fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Dec 7, 2021 |

I swear I remember hearing for the bit where the three houses name you Hortator, if you’re a member of Telvani and killed all the other senior leadership you get a sarcastic journal entry about how as the last remaining Telvanni leader you have graciously decided to agree to support your petition to be named Hortator. Pretty sure even if you don’t kill them all off you wind up killing some of them to get the appointment anyway. Almost swear one of the leaders specifically says he supports you so he doesn’t get killed.
