This mod seems interesting, I just wish it was only for artistic look instead of buffing your carrying capability a lot.

The mod is awesome, and version 1 has enchantless versions if you want it for look only.

Also, goddamn Blackreach, that place made me fucking shiver.

Blackreach is amazing, I wish Bethesda could put as much effort into their story writing as they did with the world.

I wish there'd be a mod which only made you able to carry things that normally you'd have on your back or belt, so you'd actually have to use a bag.

I know there are bag mods but they just give you more weight available

[DrasarSalman]

I wish that mod which shows all your weapons actually worked, it would be a lot more immersive.

Playing back morrowind, Im in Gnisis and i find this guy without pants...
So someone stole this pants

So i got his pants back

And he just starts walking away like nothing happened.

Oh man, why haven't i known about this quest

Just wait until you meet the writer of the Lusty Argonian Maid.

Also, the first time I did the quest in your post, I failed at speech 20 times in a row and ended up slaughtering every Legion guard in Gnisis. With an iron shortsword. Gnisis must be where they post the worst of the worst as punishment duty.

Looks nice to use with the weapons of the third era mod, not like those other stupid mods where they add tons of weapons but they are only craft able because the mod maker is lazy.

... IIRC this mod is only a crafting mod too. It doesn't add any of that stuff to loot tables last I checked.

Personally I don't think its very good at all. It's a nice idea, but right now it's mostly a bunch of tacky and unbelvable retextures of the same basic sword over and over. I like the general idea behind the mod (make it so if you craft something with a certain material, it obviously wouldn't look exactly like ancient dwemer/orcish/etc stuff), but the execution is super... forced and calculated? I dunno.

EDIT: Well looks like he added other stuff too from when I last saw it, like finding enchanted swords that actually look different. Which IS a really nice feature.

It does add stuff to loot tables, most of my equipment that comes from this mod was looted.

Including the dwemer/nordic mace that I used to smash Grelod's face on the last page

That particular glowing ball looked just insanly awesome. The place somewhat reminded me of Myst and Riven.

Don't worry guys, they'll do something in the next game to make you come crawling back to Skyrim.

   or Morrowind but it's always been like that I suppose   

[UntouchedShadow]

Is it true that certain enchantments don't work on followers?

Actually, now that I think about it, how do enchanted items work with followers at all? Can you stack enchantment effects on them? Do they even work?

[Seiteki]

I've got this weird CTD popping up.

It only happens if I load or try starting a new game after I've already loaded a game up.
I'm not sure what mod could be doing that, because it's just fine without any.

Seeing this made me want to play Morrowind, all I need are mods that remove the atrocious missing even though it was in front of you and a mod to reduce cliffracers.

I said this, once you get into it though it's not as bad as you'd think. Weird yes but it's perfectly bearable.

I really hope Skyrim goes on sale this summer.

I've avoided spoilers for 6 months now, I can make it a couple more.

[woolio1]

I've just realized something... I've never actually been an Elder Scrolls fan. I've only played them because it's the done thing. I never bought Morrowind or Oblivion, merely played them at a friend's house smashing up cities...

I bought Skyrim, which was the first ES game I bought, and only did so because my friends wanted to and because of all the Fable-esque hype surrounding it. Wonder how many of us have done the same?

Morrowind, probably due to Bethesda's airtight coding as of 2003, still does that to newer rigs.

I never had much issue with it on my desktop.
I could even get 10 fps in cities with my netbook.

46 fps, night time, blinding ash storm, cloud of ravenous squawking cliff racers, a crippling disease

MGE-XE on maxed settings + morrowind overhaul content

[RagerTrader]

I tried playing Morrowind again, but the combat is fucking dreadful, I was relatively spoiled by oblivion.

Are there any combat overhauls that makes the game more visceral less... Dice-roll-y?

[hypno-toad]

Dicerolls become largely moot when you have a primary weapon skill of 50 (give or take) you basically hit every target 100% of the time.

Just make sure you're not constantly running into enemies while out of stamina, because stamina takes a huge toll on your combat accuracy (and your magic success rate, too)

Has anyone here seen the Moonpath to Elsweyr mod? I'm not quite sure what to think of it. The custom content it has is extremely impressive, but it feels more like I'm exploring a fantastic dungeon instead of a new land.

Just be prepared to not really play through morrowind as it should be with this mod, because the game becomes insanely unbalanced when using it, and the entire skill system is rendered useless. It basically just turns morrowind into an action game.

Dice-roll calculations for determining when you hit an enemy, is the primary force behind determining how good you are at a skill. Attributes like agility deal direclty in this, as it determines how often you hit and how often you dodge. Magic abilities like Sanctuarary also deal in this.

If you remove this (as the mod does) every weapon skill becomes extremely overpowered, and at the same time totally useless to level up. Agility means nothing as well. Most of the skills are basically useless and everything dies to you

Or, you could just deal with the nuances of Morrowind's combat, and actually build a character at the start that can hit things (by maximizing the weapon skills you want to use the most in character creation, and having a high agility).

Exactly, as long as you make a proper character there isn't a problem, even just starting out it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Getting a mod like that just ruins it and using it is basically saying you cant make a proper character because if you are barely hitting then you are seriously doing something wrong.

I played it. The level design is pretty awesome, and the new creatures are pretty functional and cool.
But like every quest mod, the voice acting is drawing from a pool of shit. It made me cringe- hard. Also, dwemer "airships" kill my lore boner. People just use the Dwemer as a license to justify all their wacky, bad ideas.

You're saying that a steampunk-magitek race that can build giant robots can't build an airship?

Um, Dwemer airships have always been part of the lore...?

A metaphysical, fourth wall-breaking concept that causes entire races to vanish into thin air isn't too over the top, but a steam-and-fire-powered airship is? Skyrim is already fairly low fantasy as it is (aside from dragons), is there something wrong with using realistic technology rather than being stuck in medieval stasis? It's not as if they're mass produced or anything.

Yeah. I like pacing. In the mod, I spent about fifteen minutes exploring the jungle before they were like THE THALMOR ARE HERE QUICK GET INTO THAT AIRSHIP, OH SHIT ANOTHER AIRSHIP IT'S A SKYBATTTTLEEEE WOOOO

Edited:

Also, the fact that most Dwemer technology is lost and unavailable for banal use like transport is significant to the lore. If it wasn't, TES would have this whole steampunk thing going on.

Maybe Skyrim is the Conservative province of Tamriel? They like medieval age fantasy and don't want to accept more of the lore?
