Dagoth Ur is incredibly wimpy.

[Kataphraktoi]

Yes i know people have said that before but geez. Im level 19 and have NOT been powergaming my stats and still took him out in just a few hits. The second dagoth ur is invincible of course(infinite health it seems) but his attacks can be avoided easily, and then in my game at least, he just sits there waving his hands about waiting to die. In the main quest im still at the third trial...but i think i wont bother completing it now.

I found a daedric dai katana or something like that and gave it a magic bonus to paralyze for 7 secs in 4 feet with magic charge of 400(costs 20 to cast) and its almost invincibly strong. My armour is mostly oridinator issue (been killing them in droves and selling the armour to creeper for lotsa $$$$$) with some ebony and daedric tossed in. Also just got my house hlaalu stronghold, and am the leader of that house too. Im an orc for once, ussualy im an imperial... Fun stuff

I also note there is no morrowind thread. describe your current armour\weapons\occupation below

[snoopy369]

There are several morrowind threads... but nobody has posted in them for a long time because most of us have moved on beyond the occasional replay for fun

[Skanky Burns]

On my last replay I went Imperial (as usual), became leader of Hlaalu (as usual) and tended to run around in glass armour (for a change). I also had fun power-gaming her, and doing the odd quest if it didn't get in the way of her training schedule.

If you want a good fight, kill Vivec. Fun but takes quite a long time.

As I mentioned in the Oblivion thread, Dagoth Ur can be killed when you are level 1. In the speed record I read, the player also used orc and iirc also managed to finish the game in roughly 15 minutes. It was quite a long time ago that I read it, so my accuracy may be off. I'll have to look that up again when I get home.

I don't believe that. You take at least that much time walking around to all the objectives.

Indeed. That is why he didn't walk. I got the time wrong too, it took him only 7.5 minutes.

The short version is he made liberal use of Icarian Flight scrolls.

I guess I'll have to click that link. Because my bull**** flag is waving quite steadily right now.

edit: has anyone really been able to use the scrolls of icarin flight accurately? I always end up clear on the other side of the map or something.

imho that IS an uber item - even the dwermer jink sword you can buy near the begining of the game, which also uses paralyze is very powerful. Think about it - if each time you hit something it freezes allowing multiple hits for free, then yeah that enemy is in trouble. try killing Dagoth Ur with a non-magical weapon? But yeah its one of Morrowinds main problems - balance.

Morrowind is on hold for me, OB killed my TES love - but i am still playing Daggerfall on and off. I'm sure i'll get back to Morrowind though.

So Dis, what happend? i'm too scared to click links Oh and what is that avatar pic thing you've got? I'm sure i used to love that game, but i cant think what it was - is it a forbidden forrest screenshot?

[Dis]

yep, forbidden forest.

and yes I clicked the link. But I didn't check out the video. I might not have the correct codecs and all that crap. I'll just have to take his word for it. He has a step by step process of what he did and explanations. I still think it would have taken a few reloads to jump in the right spot.

I guess it's something to do. But what's the fun of completing the game that fast? You'd think a barbarian orc with a steel axe would have trouble winning some of those battles, but I guess not.

[Kataphraktoi]

Ive used the scrolls with some accuracy with god mode on, or more accurately just editing my acrobatics up high. Its fun. Not in a real game, of course

Completing the game isnt a objective imo, just doing whatever you want is.

no slur intended in your direction I actualy was just too lazy to bother, and not that bothered if someone had done it in 7.5 minutes - they should really love Oblivion i suspect

[Sarxis]

I watched the video- impressive.

I Think that people make their own fun in Morrowind. And the same is true about Oblivion. If El_Cid can't make his own fun in Oblivion, well that is fine, but it does't make it the weaker game.

[Dis]

what do you do for fun in Oblivion?

Well according to the thread started by Ball lightning, the consensus so far over Oblivion is that compared to Morrowind(or older TES) it looks like many people do find it harder to make their own fun(which i agree is the strong point of a TES game).
Less options/stats/stuff = less props for user inventivness imho. More graphics/voice acting dont a good/better game make?

Still i know you like Oblivion, and thats cool - it was just very disapointing for me.
