Starting a new play and man do I love this game. I could talk about Morrowind for hours so lets do.
Question: There's a million little game breaking exploits so what limitations do you impose on yourself to keep the game fair? When are you cheating?
For me the uh compounding magic is cheating, like fortifying before making potions. Permanent buffs like soul trapping myself are cheating. spamming wait/rest (like for creeper) is cheating.
I really love the overworld. That's what it is. It's an entire foreign culture but like an original culture. The lore, the pantheon, the style. Game of Thrones is British derivative. Dune is the middle east. Morrowind feels unique.
Morroblivion is out now if you don't want to wait for it. Mechanically, Oblivion is the weird middleground between Morrowind and Skyrim, and I don't think it's as good as either of them at what those games were trying to do, but the mod does at least make it easier to not immediately bounce out of Morrowind.
Yeah I had some looks at it and idk I already have to mod Oblivion to the death to be remotely worth playing again lol. So I think just the template of Oblivion on Morrowind would be off putting because honestly vanilla oblivion is not far off from Morrowind in terms of advancement in how a game feels. I could definitely give Morrowind a college try because I definitely can enjoy old games but Skywind just looks so dope and the idea of combining Morrowinds amazing world and authentic RPG mechanics with skyrims graphics/ dialogue system (suppose to be Morrowind dialogue with nothing cut I believe with full voice acting) just sounds sooo awesome. I don't wanna risk spoiling Morrowind in like a halfway playthrough before atleast trying Skywind. Honestly I got sooooooo many games to play when I want to lol I can wait.
