I just bought my first...

Morrowind is supposed to be good for mods. But I dislike mods. They just don't feel like the game how it's supposed to be played.

I used a custom mod (actually, 3 over various times). The main one was to increase the gold of certain merchants, simply because I didn't feel like waiting 24 hours before being able to sell to them again. Creeper I set to 100,000 and still managed to have more items to sell to him than he could buy. I did this to ensure certain types of items were all sold to the same merchant incase they were needed for later quests.

The other two mods were just fixes to let me finish quests the way they were intended rather than the way they were programmed.

I agree. Morrowind is very similar to real life in many ways. There are some people who make interesting, original comments. Most people, though, just recycle the opinions of others with a slightly different wording.

But you haven't bothered to play either - Jamski told you real life was rubbish.


I've got Morrowind, but have barely played it. My friend, on the other hand, spent over 80 hours playing the Xbasket version and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll be going back when I've got through the enormous backlog of RPGs I've got.

@Carlos, If you like open games you are free to explore in, then you should like it well enough.

And you can take Dr.Spikes naughty comments about people who like Morrowind and their dubious game preferences for what it is

Keep an open mind, expect to have to work to get the best out the game(rather than have things spoon fed to you like a baby) and enjoy how long you could be playing this game for - its an extremely rare experience these days

Its also full of interesting bugs, just a heads up

Correct?

[child of Thor]

you'll have to play it and see first
It should be very very cheap by the time you finish your guild war journey

Up to about 300 hours now.

well if you reach 500 with no end insight, you know you will need rehab dont you?

Morrowind can be amazingly addicting if you like it.

Another great thing is that there are tons of plugins to discover. From graphics improvements to new quests to new guilds to difficulty mods there are thousands of plugins, many of which are awesome.

Cool! Got any links to these mods/plugins?

www.rpgplanet.com/morrowind has a huge database but unfortunately they have a habit of including every whatnot submitted right down to the last Tassadarian house mod plomped smack in the middle of Balmora.
Separating the wheat from the chaff is an ordeal.

A few others

One of the most important though (IMHO), is a rather small mod that gives you the ability to cast the 'recharge magicka' spell, or rather to enchant it into an item.
I've probably stuffed this up but here goes ...
