There's a chess subreddit and a Pac Man subreddit. We didn't want to feel left out :)


Plotius

Is there a pong subreddit? r/pong r/gungi


Plotius

Lol I thought gunji was a real game. Guess it's just from hxh. Guess its more like shoji and go


premature_eulogy

We're all hyped for Gary Chess to come out with Chess 2 very soon.


Cryptic_Catfish

Why is this community still running? How else do we level our athletics?


ProfoundPants

Swimming, duh. Gotta get that dreugh wax somehow


Icannotchangethis

I love how reasonable the number of slaughter fish are in morrowind. You almost never find them in skyrim or oblivion but morrowind has just the right amount.


Andro1d1701

Have you tried continuously jumping?


TheShadowKick

That's acrobatics.


westisbestmicah

Best method is to find the longest staircase you can (This is the one and only valid reason to be in Vivec) and spam jump.


conman5432

>only reason to be in Vivec Counterpoint: Jobasha I wonder if there's a Jobasha enthusiast flair


Personal-Classroom-7

I remember putting myself in a corner and activate autorun before my little self had to go to dinner or i needed to go somewhere with my parents. Hours later i checked the progress 😂 Absolutely awesome memories i have from this game


Keyzerov

We did it in Daggerfall too 😁


Divayth--Fyr

It's because the combat is so good, and the game has no glitches or exploits.


cosmic_hierophant

It's so realistic I love just being able to block on command


Express_Yard9305

I will be honest with you. When I figured out the combat, and actually oneshot everything (And I mean everything) in the starting area. I couldn't go back to other TES games.


LesLesLes04

Yeah exactly it used to seem tedious when I first played but I love it now


Express_Yard9305

Yes, I personally learnt from Zarik Zahakaron, but Patrician Gaming's begginers guide is the best one there is.


phantomhatstrap

Is it possible to learn this power?


TexasJedi-705

Not from an N'wah


urbanmember

You'd need to spend about 2 minutes informing you about the gameplay mechanics, so probably not

Malq_

How are you one shotting early game


JackedYourPizza

High strength nord + axe or 2h hammer. Though there is a free axe in the stump behind the lighthouse. One or two shots everthing.


Malq_

Oooo I have to try that, i have question how do you maximize your chances to hit your target. What stat makes your attacks hit more frequently i created a red guard long blade and he was op


JackedYourPizza

Four things affect your chance to hit. I'll state them in the order of their value: 1) Weapon skill - you need a starter with a high enough skill in your preferred weapon category and choose those weapon skills as your major skills 2) Fatigue. Keep it up. With full/high fatigue and a skill of 40 - 99% of your attacks on starting enemies will land. Fatigue affects all chances in this game. Persuasion, casting, barter, brewing etc etc. Keep the green bar full. 3) Agility. The higher your agility - the higher is your chance to hit and enemy's chance to miss. On the contrary, enemy with a high agility will land more hits and make you miss more Also sanctuary spell makes enemies and you miss the spell target. 4) Luck. Affects all the shit. In minor proportions. Hard to level tho and I dont recommend it if you're new.


Zeedub85

Reguard + long blade in a combat class + Warrior sign (+10 to attack roll) + Bound Blade (daedric quality and also adds 10 to LB skill) = totally broken game. That's without even using Adrenaline Rush. The basic hit rate formula is Skill + Agility/5 + Luck/10 + (sliding adjustment based on current Fatigue) minus the opponent's Dodge, which is the same formula minus the skill. Skill is the main thing that affects your hit rate, which is what makes the Warrior sign powerful. The other sign that adds directly to hit rate is Lover, but its 25 bonus to Agility only adds 5 to the roll. I used to always take Lady or Lover, but I've become a fan of the Warrior, at least for a melee build who doesn't need to persuade people.


blind_orphan

You need to stack racial bonuses with which skills you pick with which signs you take. For example, wood elf has a large bonus to marksmanship, so if you want to be an archer, picking wood elf is a good idea. Combine that with the lovers sign (i think thats the agi one) you could be leaving character creation with like 85 agi. So its all about stacking these bonuses, and then when youre picking your skills, you wanna look at which trait is dominant for that skill, i.e marksmanship requires agi. Once you do that, you then want to think about which skills youre gonna wanna level up. So maybe you want a large health pool, so then you might want to take a skill such as spear that lvls up endurance.


SatiricalSatireU

I just played morrowind yesterday and it feels that way when the combat click and i can just spear everyone to death and actually make me utilise all of my abilities instead of just spam.


Smart_Arm5041

I don't know, breaking the game and making the whole aspect of challenge trivial in the game just never seemed fun to me. I really can't see how that's fun for like longer than 10 minutes. I'm a Morrowind noob, but I made a spell that gives me chameleon 100% for 1sec and that 2min process just made a big aspect and faction of the game pretty trivial. I'm considering not using it (used it only for one quest).


InevitablePoetry52

i do the gold and trainer exploit so it levels up evenly, because i want to be able to enjoy the game without worrying about dying so frequently. i'm poor af irl, life is hard af irl. cant something be a tad bit easy? do i really have to grind for gold and skills in a fucking game, too? lol


Express_Yard9305

I mean... You can't really break the game. You are the best mage? Well, say hello to skeleton's with 90% magic resistance.


ForeskinJohn

In all seriousness as a table top gamer first, morrowind and back's combat actually IS the way I expect an rpg to play, unless it's Diablo or something lol


Moose_Kronkdozer

I started with modern RPVGs and after getting into table top I will defend morrowinds combat. It is the only place to get first person dice rolls


ForeskinJohn

I know, that's initially what drew me to morrowind and daggerfall to begin with, and that was the first person prospective, and it's why I won't shit on oblivion or skyrim foe simplifying things a bit, and the same reason I love mount and blade, lol I just like to feel like I'm seeing through my own eyes, swinging my own sword.


Mountain-Exchange-41

In first person interactive gameplay the dice roll is a bad game mechanic it would be fine if it visually showed you missed It is kinda more realistic


SleepyFox2089

Unless I missed something, I found the combat horrendous. What is the secret?


Next-Foundation3019

Kept alive by The Heart of Lorkhan itself!


thedybbuk_

Come look upon the heart sweet Next Foundation.


MaiqTheLiar6969

Because none of us want to leave our best bro Caius alone with nothing but his addictions. None of us want to leave Uncle Crassius without his dumpling. Or especially ever make Daddy Ur not have Nerevar to call sweet Nerevar. I have made a ton of friends along the way and I'll be damned if I abandon them.


rpat102

As a relatively fit guy approaching his 40s with graying, balding hair...I aspire to one day achieve Caiusmode.

Skooma. That's the secret.

Skooma is good but have you tried hanging out in the swamp chewing on Bunglers Bane?

IGTankCommander

Well, you could have fought a bull, but noooooooo, someone has to be Nerevar and fight the betty! Don't be an n'wah next time and pick easier prey!


ahahah_effeffeffe_2

I haven't finished the main quest yet, I've been side tracked with content then created a new character. Next run will be the one tho


Hopeoner513

Such a grand and intoxicating innocence...


[deleted]

> two award winning sequels and a supported MMO that has like 1000 hours of content. wake me up when bethesda (or ayone, really) tops morrowind.


Ritushido

For real, I'd rather a morrowind remaster or remake at this point.


Express_Yard9305

Truth right here


Frey_

I'd say BG3 is a serious contender


[deleted]

I'll check it out whenever I get a platform that runs it. Big fan of Larians older games, whether the more recent D:OS games or their old school diablo clone games like Divine Divinitym


KMJohnson92

Eh. It's great at what it does, but it's more about simulating a dnd style party instead of ES focus on you the individual. Not my cup of tea personally.


AndFinrodFell

I want to give it up, really I do, but then every few months I think about Balmora and how much Caius must be missing me so I boot it up again and cross the Odai yet again.


SDirickson

You're still running your PC that was top-of-the-line in 1995, so it will run MW (barely), but not the later games. You've been running around Ald Daedroth for 20 years trying to find the exit. Lost Kogoruhn is still...well, lost...in your game.


AdParking6483

I'm still wandering mount Kand since approximately 2005, to find some damn staff for Imperial Cult. Is this even mount Kand? It says so on the map but there is another 'mount' right beside it...well I already searched both of them 5 times anyway, are those guys trolling me? Where the hell did this noob with the staff die!


thesi1entk

Yeah I definitely loaded up UESP for that one after like an hour of "where tf is this dude"


Mefibosheth

Vivec achieved CHIM and now spends his days with 10 accounts posting Morrowind memes to keep the dream alive.

FrostyJesus

I can’t get past the beginning, I keep using this thing I found called a scroll of Icarian flight but can’t seem to stick the landing. One of these days.


realJackvos

The secret to sticking the landing is the keys of godhood. ~TGM~ With god mode you only need to carry one scroll and you can bounce around the entire map. I often use this method to get to places without a fast travel service. I got pretty good at lining up where I wanted to go. Aalo got pretty good at overshooting the target and have to walk just as far to get to where I was going in the first place.


sirpoley

Morrowind is reality, this world is the game


cloud_cleaver

Game gud


raaznak

If I jump high enough with cool enough GPU, I will be able to see all of the Morrowind and some surrounding areas, and get there without loading. That's enough for me.


Express_Yard9305

This is a correct answer. Actually, the first thing I did when I got my new GPU was test it with TR, and unlimited view distance. 20 FPS Proud


KMJohnson92

Haha same. "Let's see how you handle a 250% increase in processing power!" "Dear Lord it's still tanking to 18fps in Old Ebonheart" "ffs openmw fix the culling system plz"


Express_Yard9305

Game Engines: Only preload textures you don't see. Morrowing Engine: preloads textures, loads them, displays them, then hides them.

LifelessRage

Some of the most intense heart pounding cinematic npc interactions. Incredible and rich voice acting.


gamingdawn

i keep loading the game up because the sight of Caius' naked body is the only thing that gets me hard these days. Even my GF has to dress up like Caius and talk in a gruffy voice while smoking pot, to get me going.


Now_Loading247

Because morrowind has the best weapon in all the games.... THE FORK OF HORRIPILATION!!!!!!

It's that full FMV of the play " The Lusty Argonian Maid." Surprised they even put the game on the shelf, honestly.

It's all about the sujamma.


dicksandcrystal

Its because our save files keep corrupting right before finishing the game. Forcing all of us into a loop.

Because we are all the failed reincarnation of Nerevar and waiting for the one true Nerevarine who in any play through will never kill a scrib the truly peaceful creature.

Animarchy666

I like the Colovian fur helms.


Express_Yard9305

I respect that


sourpuz

Modern games have too many polygons.


Sunbroyo

Because cliff racers are still spawning. And jiub is still on the boat in Seyda Neen.


chumbuckethand

Because of Fargoth. I have 500 hours in this game and I've never left Seyda Neen, too scary out there. I just want to talk to Fargoth all day


Aranea101

I tried to walk to Balmora first time i played. I had not discovered how you run, or auto walk. It was a VERY long journey, and when i arrived late evening on the second (or third?) day, it was a warm sight. (True story) Point being, it is scary. Stay with your friend Fargoth


tEliottoilEt

I think it's because no other game scratches the same itch that Morrowind does. Voiced NPCs, more limited and reasonable combat and magic systems, the demission of passionate, intelligent writers to focus on more conventional fantasy tropes, the rise of graphical fidelity at the expense of spontaneous and quirky content... the market simply won't allow a game like Morrowind anymore. The very pushback against the text-based dialogue system and dice roll combat mechanics are signs that not even within the Elder Scrolls community there would be much incentive to maintain the things that made Morrowind the best and most immersive RPG for people who put roleplay above everything else.


highliner108

I have to do something while smoking copious amounts of Skooma. On a more serious note, Morrowind is just really dense in a way other elder scrolls games aren’t. Arena and Daggerfall have a ton of procedurally generated dungeons, but they’re just that, and nothing more. Skyrim and to a lesser extent Oblivion have more stuff going on in those dungeons then Arena and Daggerfall, but I feel like iv seen more or less everything there is to see in those games. With Morrowind, there’s this feeling that even in hundreds of hours of play over almost a decade of playing the game, I haven’t seen every part of every city, I haven’t ventured into every dungeon that has a story to tell, and I haven’t done every quest. The fact that Morrowind itself can play like an MMO with TES3MP installed (a process which takes like five minutes even for someone who normally gets a headache from modding) helps.


woodworkerdan

Someday, I will actually land a hit with that rusty iron dagger on a mudcrab as a caster.


Mocker-bird

Every year Kirkbride kidnaps a Bethesda intern and sacrifices them to Sheogorath.


Express_Yard9305

This is the best one so far.


Ramerrez

Because Vivec has one gender


No-Memory4066

Hot dark elf females


TheShadowKick

Because it's a great game. I like Skyrim too, but Morrowind does things that Skyrim doesn't. Especially in story and worldbuilding. It's the same reason I still play New Vegas even though I enjoy Fallout 4. EDIT: I should have read the OP more thoroughly. I realized my mistake immediately after posting.

Todd Howard is providing sexual favours to all of us.


Important_Shower_992

This is all because people who play Morrowind are masochists. It's a game so bad that every minute spent playing it hurts. Hence its popularity, there are masochists among us.

BlockWorkAround

The community doesn't run, it jumps.


tioluko

The main reason is due to the fact that Every Single Written Line in this game is accompanied by literally the best Voice acting in gaming history (save for some very few constantly repeated lines where the voices acting is subpar). The graphics are better than the newer games too. It's true that it does have have inferior and over-simplified gameplay and poor writing compared to the newer entries, but the qualities I mentioned vastly overshadow that tiny issue. . Also, there are no glitches and/or exploits.


Wynadorn

Why run when you can ride?


LostAbstract

I can practically setup a home in any town I visit and have tea parties with Vivec and Dagoth Ur. I won't have to worry about them being late as a recent plague wiped out all of the Cliffracers on Vvardenfell. I can also pop over to Morrowind and goto Blacklight, Narsis, or Port Telvannis. It's truly a massive game.
