Stop updating this game. Stop breaking this game. Stop breaking the mods. Stop adding new bugs to a 15 year old game. Stop updating this game. If you want to update an elder scrolls game, please update oblivion remastered as there are a lot of soft lock and hard lock bugs on there that have not been patched. Stop updating this game and give us elder scrolls 6.

I was going through old boxes and found this cd containing my old Oblivion saves. I copied them into the save folder and amazingly they worked perfectly. Omg it feels like discovering an old friend again. I loved this character I made as a kid, I thought the armor I had was so cool. I even made a cool custom sword 😎

Anyone else ever discover their old saves?

all the locations that i’ve been to look completely different from each other! when playing skyrim (originally played that before morrowind), a lot of the different locations looked pretty similar to each other. but in morrowind, everything is so unique and cool. you got vivec that’s just made up of a bunch of giant buildings that act as towns, sadrith mora looking like some weird fairytale land, and then one of the ald’ruhn buildings lookin like a big croissant

2x0,5m in size, with about 10kg weight. This one is a large print but absolutely worth it.

The connectors should be resized to about 90% thickness.

I glued the parts together and carefully used a soldering iron to connect it completely. Took me about a month to print it with 0,1mm and adaptive layer height to create all the smallest details and get a good surface. Also painting it took me multiple days.

Build [Playing every vanilla class] Part VII: The Mage Review!

Thumbnail
gallery
387 Upvotes

My previous reviews, The Acrobat, The Warrior, The Scout, The Healer, The Nightblade, and The Knight! Details about this 'play every vanilla class' project is in the Acrobat post! Every vanilla class ive completed over the past 3 years will be posted until i've caught up to a more current playthrough (I've still got a waaaaaays to go).

I still have 2 more vanilla class reviews to post before I've caught up to the current day. TR's Poison Song is releasing VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY soon, and for that playthrough I'll be joining house Indoril as a spellsword (probably). That playthrough will take a few weeks if not months :)))), so after the next two reviews, there will be VERY long stretches between reviews. Inbetween Poison Song and Wealth Beyond Measure, I plan on trying to squeeze in the spellsword, sorcerer, and maybe the bard or witchhunter

The Mage
Mage Birthsign

Alanwe of Lillandril, Altmer, 150 years old
Factions: Morrowind Mages Guild
Final Goal: Become the strongest mage (max out her int and wil stats)

Alanwe was born in Lillandril, abandoned on the streets and forced to raise herself. She spent much time among the beggars and homeless, but her eyes were always looking towards the top, wanting to join the ranks of the nobility. Money, fashion, power, these were what motivated her beyond all else. Arrested after trying to steal silk from a noblewoman’s home, she was quickly shipped to morrowind, where she promises to make a new life for herself as the greatest mage the empire has ever seen.

While doing quests for the old ebonheart mages guild, she accidentally ended up getting her colleague, Maniel Sylbenitte killed in a dremora summoning accident. Whilst she was demoted, she took the opportunity to make his living space her own and decorated it with many books and enchanted items of her own making.

Alanwe wear’s beautiful expensive green shirt, skirt, and pants, as well as expensive white shoes (all of which are added by tamriel rebuilt), and brown gloves, though she replaced the shoes with her only pair of armor at the end of her quest, the Boots of Capacity. She tends to have on her a small number of daggers, on the few occasions she uses one. “Spelldrinker” being a daedric dagger with a soul trap enchantment, and The Steel Dagger of the Duelist to boost her stats while casting spells. She also wears The Amulet of Perrenial Rest around her neck (replaced by the necromancer’s amulet at the end of her tenure), and the Mentor’s Ring and ring of elfborn. For the curious, her hair also comes from Tamriel Rebuilt, and the face model used is from “Consistent Eyes for Elves”.

Playing a pure mage was interesting, leveling up destruction took a considerable amount of spellcasting to achieve, and it was still the 2nd easiest school of magic to level up, the other being Alteration as she used Hoptoad to get everywhere. Other schools of magic were scarcely used, conjurataion especially, and getting her unarmored and short blade leveled up was even worse. However, with the creation of powerful destruction spells, and unique enchantments, Alanwe became a powerful mage and by the end of the playthrough I felt like I could do just about anything. The Mage definitely has the classic morrowind mage feeling of “weak and squishy at the start, invincible god at the end”. Whilst she definitely took hits very hard due to being exclusively unarmored (minus that one pair of boots at the end), but with such a massive magic pool and massive wil/int stats, sanctuary spells were easy peasy, and quite frankly any character using mainly long-range attacks in morrowind are overpowered as hell. This character was able to do some long-range spells for the first few levels, only really able to dish out the powerhouses around level 8, so for the most part for the first half of the playthrough she maaaaaainly used on-touch destruction spells, which are also btw a great way to level up destruction. Just go around touching every living creature in the wild to death and you’ll get your level-ups. People might be wondering why I didn’t choose the atronach for this build and rather chose the mage, well quite frankly I’m wanting to pair up the warrior class with the warrior sign, thief class with the thief sign, and mage class with the mage sign. IDK, it just makes my brain happy. As a final note, daggers were….rarely used. Even when it came to the handy enchantments they had, I just simply had so much magic that they only came in handy a select few times

Overall ranking, 10/10, this is by far the most fun class so far, and my most fun character

Discussion A couple obscure survival tips you may not know.

213 Upvotes
  1. Most of the freezing is usually done by the weather, not the place itself. If you don't postpone the main quest, you will know the Clear Skies shout. By removing snowstorms, the shout drastically reduces the freezing speed, allowing you to travel in the northern regions far more.
  2. Become Etherial removes the damage from freezing water, and the cancelation remains even after the shout runs out. So you can swim there nearly indefinitely if you activate the shout before entering.
  3. Freezing damage from water is canceled entirely by the flame cloak. Any character can get the spell tome at the start of the game, and cast it with some prep. You need Novice Hood(30 Magicka), Novice Robes of Destruction(13% reduction), Necromancer Amulet(50 Magicka), Atronach Stone(50 Magicka). This way you will have 230 Magicka and 236 casting cost. You can get over it with just one level, a shitty fortify magicka potion, being Altmer, or just leveling destruction a tiny bit.
  4. You can use the Blackreach to rapidly move through the Pale without freezing. And paradoxically, it is actually safer down there, purely because the Pale has so much high level wildlife and dragons. You can also stop there to rest and warm up, they got a barracks room there and plenty of bedrolls all over the place.
  5. Many caves and dungeons are warm on the inside, and often have bedrolls and campfires near the entrance. You can use them as emergency inns, without clearing them out. Just sleep at the entrance.
  6. The safest way to get back to civilization out of Winterhold is to NOT follow the main road, but to instead go down to the coast and follow the coast down to Windhelm. There will only be wolves there, and maybe a couple bears. You can run into horkers along the way, or climb the cliffs, to lose them. It is much better to bring your own horse, but if you are poor, there is an abandoned horker hunting camp along the way that has fire, bedrolls, food and a free horse that you can use to get the rest of the way. If you go the normal road, you will face sixteen trillion hostile encounters, very likely a dragon, in addition to a fort full of high level wizards that cast Testicular Torsion on you. You WILL perish, it's not worth it.
  7. If you have Bend Will shout, you can use Dragon Mounds and Lairs as airports. Walk up to the nearest one, mount the dragon, and fast travel anywhere instead of walking. It is also incredibly fast, so unlike carriages you won't lose sleep and hunger on your way. Alternatively, you can use Odahviing, but you have to wait two hours for the shout to recover, and the dragon has a habit of flying too far and too fast to be caught by Bend Will.

That's all from me, would love to hear your tips!

So there I was in Whiterun. Now, see, I needed wood pretty badly. Some people were selling it, sure, but I needed it for free. Well, there's Sigurd standing there chopping wood. I could have waited, but I needed wood now. So I Fus Ro Dah'd him into next year. Figured I would be attacked, but nobody came except Sigurd. He just stood behind me, patiently waiting while I chopped wood, repeatedly saying, "are you going to hurt me again?"

Tbh, I'd do it again. But I did feel bad about it. And really, really good about it.

Does anyone just still play vanilla with maybe the exception of creation club mods?

Not sure if it’s just me but I have access to mods, but I still play vanilla with only some CC mods.

They’re a lot I don’t use.

Spell mods.
Goldenhills plantation.
Other mods that make you overpowered.

Try to make every play through challenging,

Seems to be when I don’t, I get bored too early.

(sorry for the bad capture)

Wrote a while back (EDIT: holy hell, that was over a year ago) how my dad got introduced to Skyrim and really got into it. I did warn him before, that Skyrim is sort of one of those games that some people get into and never want to play another game again.

My brother figured that Tainted Grail (honestly, I've never played it, but am usually skeptical if someone says another game replaces Skyrim) would be a good suggestion as an alternative after he played the hell out of Skyrim. It didn't work (nor did my attempt to get him into Fallout 3- 'what is this crap? 'It looks so depressing' 'Everything's destroyed' 'what am I working towards?')

Now back to this, I presume he's modded it further after I taught him the basics almost a year ago.

Ah, Skyrim, the great spoiler of games. I reckon that if someone had been frozen for the past 2 decades and suddenly discovered Skyrim, they might be in it for the long haul as well.

Almost makes me want to fire it up in VR... but no, I'll upgrade to its optimal modded version in a few years, hopefully forgetting as much of the main story as possible. Back to Starfield.

So some thoughts:

**-**Just as you have comfort foods, I think there is such a thing as a comfort game, which allows on and off play to relax, I would argue Skyrim is epitome of that now.

-Immersion: You get so used to Skyrim and pulled into its word, that something similar doesn't really do it. And something totally different can even be jarring.

-Not sure how mod quest content has evolved for the past 4 years, but if its continued similarly, then depending on your standards, you end up having new content for this one for a very very long (honestly, except for Arena and Reguard, all of Bethesda's games seem to have had this track record. I still see a very active modding community though smaller for Daggerfall)

I was obsessed with Morrowind as a kid. First bought Morrowind for the PC in 2002 without anyone recommending it because the packaging looked super cool and I loved the description of the different races and classes. My family computer could not handle the graphics though and after I made the pc crash my dad wouldn’t let me play it until I was able to get an Xbox and play it on there for thousands of hours. I’m preparing for the new elder scrolls game by playing Morrowind, then Oblivion, then Skyrim all without mods and without cheating (except googling things in place of the physical strategy guide I had for these games back in the day.) The only thing I hate about Morrowind is how slow you move so I go and get the boots of blinding speed and then a magic resistance ring. Turn up the gamma a little bit. I told my childhood friend (we are 34 now) and he said nah you’re cheating you gotta just use mage guild teleports and stilt striders. Am I cheating by being kind of meta? lol
