Morrowind!, Big News!!

[ArcaneFalcon]

A multiplayer mod for morrowind simply wouldn\'t work.  How would their mods interact?  What if a person has created their own personal set of armor (like me) that other players wouldn\'t have access to?  What if one person has Hawkmoth (that\'s the skeleton castle mod right?) installed and the other doesn\'t?  It would turn into the Diablo 2 open servers where you have people running around with cheater armor massively owning everyone.  Not my idea of fun.

About Oblivion, there is a book in Morrowind about it (entitled \"On Oblivion\" I believe).  Oblivion is basically the land of the gods (heaven & hell combined).  That is where Azura (one of the 3 good gods) and the other gods (though the above mentioned book calls them princes of some sort) live in their respective realms.

Well, Oblivion is the realm of the daedra. It\'s more hell than heaven. The game will take place in Cyrodill the homeland of the imperials.
I\'ve some clues on the story:
 ->You will have to save the empire once more. A relative of the king has betrayed a daedra lord something with a quest he did, but also not don\'t really know, he did that quest somehow, but the daedra lord wasn\'t pleased. The guy wanted from the daedra that he will live eternaly in his hometown, with the voices of his friends around. The daedra however also played a trick on that guy. He recreated the city on Oblivion, killed the guy\'s friends and transportated them to this realm, then he cast some kind of enchantment that the guy could hear the voices of  his friends.
If you played morrowind you\'ll probalbly know that there are problems, for the king is ill and his relatives have been replaced by doubles. So you\'ll have to get that guy outta that realm.

Well which of the great houses in morrowind did you like best?

Telvanni without doubt.  This is mainly because of Morrowind\'s one big flaw.  Building your character to be a magic user was way better than building to be a meleer.  Melee skills could be learned later on.  If you use a high elf with one of the two signs that increases mana then your character will be awesome with magic, and the melee skills can be learned later on.  It\'s hard to argue with a guy who\'s 100 at long blade wearing full daedric armor and is followed by every summoned creature in the game.

As a battle trained Nord, I picked the path of honor, the path of Redoran :]
Daedric armour and dai-katana all the way
Had some magic and jabber skills as well, but Telvanni are all insane, and Hlallu simply weak
Altho\' Redoran are building you a \"fort\" in sucky place :/

But when it comes to magic I really like the robe from Bloodmoon which gives you 5*intelligence mana and insane (+70 ?) bonus to summoning skill. The bad sides are quite fun as well

I actually chose Hlaalu! I eas a woodelven Thief/Illusionist. But I think being insane is the best of being a telvanni (Drahta and Therana, are very good examples)

Did you know that you can make Constant Enchantments, by using trapped golden saints.
So when you went to Therana\'s chamber and bought that spell from felen (which is the coolest guy in whole Azuras coast), made a version that lasts only 5 seconds (maybe ten). cast it and then cast soultrap --> running. You could make things like my \"Amulet of shades\" which gave you 30 Chameleon. Or something like \"Staff of Portals\", which constantly summoned a winged twilight a golden saint and an Atronnach of each kind .

p.s.:There are three magicka signs (the \"poor\" mage, the \"average\" Aprentice and the \"godlike\" Atronnach) Found it funny seing the telvanni guys \"feeding\" me with their spells.

Morrowind is a great game, but also a game I never liked from a simple reason: it tries to create a world similar to an online one, in a single player game. A MMORPG ... single player. Of course, we kinda don\'t have the resources atm to succed this.
 Well, nothing is wrong with this though. But they did some other things only for that aspect. And the most important -> a poor story. Every game from the series had a poor story. It will never be compared with a complex story like Planescape Torment\'s one ...
 And they have not to screw it up with Oblivion. Because let\'s not forget they\'re taking care of Fallout III!
 Also, why would be impossible to create an online game? They have plenty of members to take care of it and also, it would be a great chance to gain some extra cash

[JellyWerker]

I don\'t think it tries to do that Annah, but I can\'t wait for oblivion, I\'ll need a better computer to run it though
 /me looks around for nonexistent cash after getting 3ds max 6
but hey, what is Christmas for : D well, not really, but it is a nice hope.

[Xalthar]

I played it through with all three kinds of characters.. magic user and telvanni, melee fighter and redoran, assassin and hlaalu.. Still playing it ^^

my favorite was pretty much the same as ArcaneFalcon, for the same reasons

 And they have not to screw it up with Oblivion. Because let\'s not forget they\'re taking care of Fallout III!

Well if you played the Tribunal expansion there is a cult that belives that when the Tribunal falls the gates of oblivion will open and the people of Morrowind will become slaves to the Daedra once more.
I have played all the houses with 3 different characters and I must say that Telvanni has the most interesting members and generaly give better quests. Ive recently started a new mage character who is level 4 and already has the cuirass of saviors hide, mararas ring, mentors ring, masque of clavicus vile and the boots of blinding speed. Artifacts are so easy to obtain when you know where they are

and that is why after character 4, the game gets totally boring.. my most interesting character was a free lance ranger, roaming the wilds... best part about the game was exploration...

[Merdarion]

Well, and if you played Bloddmoon you would know about the prophecy that guy and his wife\'s skull gives you after cmpleting the mainpart.

I had a problem with morrowind being so static.

The guys stan on the same postition,
The monsters stay on the same posision,
The story wasn\'t variable,

Some mods did change that:
Example: REal Signposts, lighted windows in the night, The God Mod(seems stupid, but it made you have a decision in the endgame), etc. pp.

A very positive part is the TES Constructor.

Yeah, it\'s fun to go around with over 200 strength, especially with 100 acrobatics
Altho\' constant + 15 health per second was fun too

[Merdarion]

But it\'s even more fun to bash guys, then seeing them running cause they can\'t see you ( Esspecially for vamps )

The 100 acrobatics aren\'t quite good in buildings (your head just doesn\'t like to be shot against ceilings O_o)
