That would have made an interesting capstone to the game once all fun had been sucked out.

"Kill every living thing on the continent."

BECOME A GOD.

I thought BKs were British Knights!!!

I tried playing Morrowind way back when the first GOTY edition was released. I put 30 hours into it and was bored I THINK every single minute of those 30hrs, and so I stopped.

I hate people that fight with fists. I don't know who though it was a good idea to have your character fall down when they run out of fatigue. By that point the battle is pretty much lost even if you have full health, you just keep going up and down like a yo-yo, because the standing animation is so darn slow they knock you down before you can do a thing. This is all at level 3 though.
Besides, I don't intend to do everything. I actually like following main quests in games.

I'll bet. I just won't ever sink that much time into a game.

A friend lent me the GOTY edition CDs and the description on the back for Tribunal mentions "the Clockwork City of Sotha Sil" and on Bloodmoon "become a werewolf", so I'm sold on playing expansion content :P

It sounds awesome.

-_-

I hate you all

Sounds fun... not.

*sucker punches Leonard*
Right, now that he's down, who's next?

This just doesn't compute for me. I am not saying you are wrong (that would be silly), just, personally, these types of games are my bread and butter. I don't know how many hours I put into Morrowind, but I know I put 300+ hours into each of Oblivion (with Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod), Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Fallout: New Vegas. In fact, to this day, Skyrim is the only game I '100%'ed'.

What didn't 'click' for you, out of curiosity?

Ha! What do you think I modded the game for? Quick Casting + Restore Fatigue Ring = win.

There's a mod for Morrowind that apparently increase the scope of the areas in the game. Would you try that? Or did you satisfy your curiosity of Vvardenfell?

I think I had a perma-enchanted sword with drain life and drain fatigue on it. I don't think that is possible in the release version, but it sure as heck was in the beta version. :P

I loved the game, but it seems to me that would be like Sisyphus downloading a mod to enlarge the boulder.

True enough, though my conclusion might not be someone else's conclusion, and I certainly didn't see everything. The story was very well written, in that regard.

I remember reading once that someone's plan for a replay was to systematically kill every creature he could find. Was that you, by any chance?

Ya well, I can quick cast other things too...





...too bad my Destruction is so low.

Wait, like a "Cast when used" that never ran out of charge?

I think I went into the light house near the starting town, and the person inside saw me "steal" something. Fighting ensued, and I was using the "click as fast as possible" method of swinging while using a dagger. My dagger finally broke, the person beat my fatigue to zero, and then beat my health to zero. I had no clue what I'd done wrong, at that point.

I played the GOTY edition too, and I didn't get to the expansion content because I made a point of putting the whole thing down before I'd finished the baseline main quest. I spent RL weeks just wandering around, exploring, looting the country side, talking to people, and so on. I didn't even get to some of the quests that are easy to find, like the Fighter/Thief/Mage guilds or joining a House. Just...so many things to do, monsters to kill, 0 weight poison potions to make and sell...

Correct. A permanent drain enchant. I think that was possible on weapons. I either had them both on one weapon, or a dual wielded weapons, each with one of the enchants.

That was one of the big changes in the release version, iirc, they got rid of those sorts of OP permanent enchants. They also got rid of an awesome Easter egg type thing just south of where you start. On a ledge, out of direct line of sight (would need levitate/fly to reach it), in a cave not far down the coast, I think there was a perma-invisibility item (or was it perma-fly, can't remember). That is a spoiler, but since it was taken out of the game, I don't feel bad about sharing ;).

I didn't know if I should install the fix for potion weight. I did though. As if I didn't have enough encumbrance issues.

I love Skyrim, one of my all time favorite games. Tried Obkivion and it was only ok for me, but for some reason I've never played Morrowind. I hear a lot of positive things about it so I might have to try it one day. Are there any boxes I can inveterate in it :-p
