Didn't most people just wear the best armor over their whole body?

once upon a time, best was something that was tied to your character and game stile.

now that armor just does damage reduction x%, yeah, it sucks that way.

[Vibhor]

Wow reading the few posts made me realize bethsoft are best in killing the hype.
The only thing I am relieved to here is the modding tools. Otherwise the game is still Oblivion 2.0

[Grakelin]

It's like they aren't even trying.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Well, at least they aren't like that Battlefield 3 PR rep who came out and actually said the reason that DICE isn't having mod tools at launch is because it would be too hard for modders to mod BF3.

Yeah, keep insulting your fanbase's intelligence, especially the fans that kept BF2 MP alive until today with amazing mods.

the whole reincarnation story of morrowind was awesome

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Even better was that you aren't necessarily Nerevar reborn.  Azura uses you to get what she wants, and even helps out Dagon too.

That sums up one of the primary reasons why Morrowind is great. There's the whole "or is it" quality to not only the main storyline, but literally ALL the accounts of history you encounter in the game. Not only are multiple conflicting versions of history presented, but it's never made clear if one of them is correct, or which aspects of which ones are true. That's what lent it so much depth.

Also, the magic system was one thing they improved from MW to Oblivion. I can't believe skill level didn't decrease spell costs in MW....

I believe it is one of the Ashlanders themselves that explain to you in Morrowind that the Prophecy wasn't a "prediction" that the incarnation of Nerevar will fulfill it, but that BY FULFILLING the steps of the prophecy you became the Nerevarine (so it was more a shopping list that they wanted "anybody" to do and then they'd call them the Nerevarine).

Kind of an old discussion, and I haven't actually played Morrowind, but from what I've been told about some of the game's metaplot, your player character is the Neravarine by virtue of being the player character, and Vivec is aware of this.

[LoSboccacc]

well, you do something that resemble the prophecy at one point,
but the main point is that only the Nereverarine could use the Nerevar ring
without being consumed or burned up or something,
and Azura cheat giving you one ring called the same way but which is
not the actual same ring. (or is it? )

I really hope this game will be a bit easier to play with mods. I have been installing (major) mods for morowind, oblivion and new vegas for hours and it never actually worked...

Never really worked as in?
Huge mods which change the same thing never work. Like OOO won't work with MMM unless you have downloaded a compilation. The mod loader that is with the game is very softcore. You need to download external utilities to get the full effect.

[Sordid]

For a good reason, at least. It makes little sense to have "Viking" armour and clothing in upper and lower parts, for the same reason it makes little sense to have robes in upper and lower parts. But yeah, leg parts - I'll miss you.

So vikings didn't wear pants?

You can even get married. If you own a house, your spouse will move in with you.

It's going to be so hilariously sucky. Can you imagine the "love" minigame? Horrible thought!

Even worse, if it works the same way as Oblivion and people like you more the more famous you are, we might get the same situation as in Fable, when you can make people fall in love with you just by walking past them.

That's exactly why he's doing it. They don't want you to keep old games alive. They want you to buy new games.

Just one major mod that was recommended by other people. Plus all the other utilities you need. I'm cursed

It'll be like the RL teen pop stars, except the mediocre singing is dragon-slaying and the teenage girls are every random NPC you come across.

Actually, if they add an age, maybe the younger the character the more Fame effects their opinion of you? That way you get all these young women swarming you and the grandmas are all up on their porches like "Seen it once, seen it a 'undred times. 'E's gonna git 'is legs chopped off by some random bandit inna woods, just you watch."

FCOM Is an amazing modset, it takes some patience and the ability to read a manual, but it's well worth it.

[Scaraban]

They confirmed the creation kit ages ago, why does every mention of it require a new "whew"?

[Sordid]

Because you can never be sure with Bethsoft.
