6th-House Path mod

Is there a mod that allows you to join Dagoth and destroy Vivec and the Tribunal? Come to your Lord, Dagoth Ur. The Sixth House is risen, and Dagoth is its glory.

Are there any mods to increase enemy health?

The difficulty slider in base game I learned maxes out at 6x melee damage received and you deal .8x physical damage to enemies. However I feel like I'm killing the enemies a bit too quickly and want them beefier.

I dont think morrowind needs a remake

Yup it doesn't even need one. And for one reason only. It's already good enough and I don't trust bethesda with remakes. The best thing is a remaster. Agree?

Morrow Rebirth or Reshade

I’ve been playing consistently again and am interested in installing Rebirth or another similar Reshade for Morrowind on steam. However, the last time I remember trying I had significant issues and never got Rebirth working. Coming back I wanted to ask, does anyone know of a helpful guide or have tips to challenges you’ve overcome when installing? I get so jealous seeing other people’s screenshots lol.

What's the most creative way you've exploited the game's mechanics?

I'm talking about crushing Cliff Racers or slowing enemies to a crawl with Levitate Spells, selling cheap items one by one and buying them back in bulk to make unlimited money, Commanding all the fast travel merchants so they're in one place, or whatever other way large or small you've taken advantage of the game's endless quirks.

i could use a mod for Vampire responses from Vampire tolerant people

So big problem of the game vampire system is that

Every NPC greet you: "i curse you vampire go away" which is fair, but even people who does not hate vampires do that

as such its very hard to tell whenever person will talk with me or freakout

mod like that would replace - DIE AAAaaa vampire NOOO, with hello, how do you do? maybe talk?

i might try to make the mod myself, its just something, i didn't do yet and will have to learn where dialogue triggers are and if its even possible to setup

I’m new to morrowind and I’m looking to make a melee focused class that can still use good spells as a Nord (melee focused spellsword) with other high generally important stats and I’m wondering as to what class I should pick to achieve that as I’m worried I’ll mess it up

Last time I played I remember I got stuck super early on and gave up. I like swords but don’t want to be locked off from magic, and while there are classes that seem similar to what I want, I have no idea how good those presets are, or if I’ll end up focusing on the wrong things and lock myself out of a really cool spell that lets me shoot a lightning ball that explodes into chain lightning or someone when it hits someone or some shit like that. I figure you guys would probably know best.

I prefer combat magic by the way. I also usually make like a giant heavy duty knight of sorts in most rpgs, I’ve never really used magic in a game before. Ive literally always picked “default melee class,” except in like pillars of eternity cuz rogue does it better and dragons dogma which has multi classing. If another kind of magic is virtually essential or has really good spells that’s fine too.

Morrowind Mod To Add ESO Books?

There's a mod for Skyrim that adds all books from ESO, Morrowind, Oblivion, to the game. I haven't been able to find one, but are there any mods that add books from ESO to Morrowind? I don't need like all books, but there should be some stuff that would fit the game that we could put in here.

Why does steam say Morrowind is released on April 29th, 2002?

Was doing some googling of game release dates for a project and I noticed on steam it is April 29th, 2002 but the official release date is May 1st, 2002. Why is that? It seems really close together but it doesn't match. I tried googling and got nothing

110% magic resist not blocking all spells? OpenMW problem or other?

Using OpenMW. No mods. Official plugins. Breton Atronach. Wearing Cuirass of the Savior's Hide. The lich, Grurn, is casting these 100 pt Shock spells at me that are somehow still killing me. Any idea what the problem could be?

Mods to make music less frequent?

I love the morrowind music but the fact that it never stops playing makes it really tiresome, I would like to not have to turn it off, but use a mod to just make it less frequent (intelligent even)

Some posts here suggest that I could just put some empty mp3 files in the music folder but that would still leave the order unchanged every time.

Was Hlaalo Manor Intended To Be Player Housing?

I accidentally said Nerano Manor in the last one, I meant Hlaalo Manor. Anyways time for a rerun. Is Hlaalo Manor supposed to be player housing, or did the devs expect/think that players would take it as a house early on? I know lots of people, even without being told, that store their stuff there, especially early-game. Balmora is basically the 'hub' early-game for players. Did the devs know/expect people would like to live there? Are there any considerations made for it specifically for players, or have any former devs talked about it? Was it just a coincidence or did devs secretly make it more habitable for players?

How does levelling work?

I’ve heard of people saying it’s possible to screw yourself at the very beginning, I’m wanting to go for a nightlblade character and just wanted to know exactly how leveling works. What’s skills should NOT be your major skills, what does major and minor skills even mean? Any help would be appreciated:)

Asking NPCs about nearby landmarks?

I would love a mod that lets me ask NPCs about things that are in the area they live. Like "what's that funny looking tower to the north" in Pelagiad.

I tried using ChatGPT for this and at first it was endearing that it thought a dwemer ruin was a Telvanni tower, but then I realised it thinks *everything* is a Telvanni tower...

But that made me realise it couldn't be very hard to add dialogue options for nearby landmarks to NPCs, right? I'd be happy if some of them don't know and guess incorrectly, as ChatGPT does, so long as they don't claim everything is a Telvanni tower. Does a mod like that exist? If not, how would one make one?

Using MWSE correctly

Hello dear Morrowind Community! I currently use Openmw and modded it very poorly the old school way by just dragging and dropping stuff into the Data folder and I am astonished how important a Script extender is. I Play an herbalist type Healer with the Mod On the move a ashlanders tent (wich is by the way one of the simpler but best mods I ever used) and it Just feels wrong not to be able to use poisons. I saw so many mods that are Just better than what openmw has to offer.

How and wich Morrowind version do you Install? I dont have the Steam Version i bought the Game when it was shortly released and for other devices I would prefer Not to buy a 4th Copy of the Game

Is there a good Tutorial for a Morrowind with textures and MWSE?

Thank you very much for your time

I tried to make stronger alchemy potions but maybe I'm doing something wrong?

So I finally was able to make a fortify intelligence spell, so I figured hey I could use this to make stronger potions. I made 2 spells fortified my intelligence by 40 points extra, but my potions are the same strength no change. I made a health potion that was still a whopping 3 points of health for 6 seconds Ha!

A couple of questions starting out

I’ve chosen to be a Dark Elf mage by the name of Urys Dagoth.

  1. What star sign would be best?

  2. what are ways to quickly become a tank / really strong and almost undefeatable?

  3. I don’t want to embark on the main quest until the very last. I want to travel, learn, meet people, have adventures, and destroy the tribunal before I reckon with my old friend.

What quests should I embark on instead?

There is something “intoxicating” about Morrowind.

I’m a relative newcomer to TES - only the past month or so.

My introduction to fantasy was playing Sierra’s King’s Quest games as a child. I love Baldur’s Gate (the original games). I enjoy Diablo. I enjoy things weird, Tim Burton movies, the X-Files. I enjoy Warhammer Fantasy novels.

I don’t know why but I never gave TES a shot when I was younger. I’m 33.

Skyrim is the only one I’ve yet to try.

Oblivion strikes me as a reasonable enough entry for someone into fantasy. It’s a lot more typical fantasy.

Daggerfall is very 90s fantasy but done well and holds up as an epic game.

But Morrowind feels more like an experience. The music has a magical tinge to it, like the Harry Potter soundtracks. I’ve not gotten very far, but the world is weird - in a good way.

Like this isn’t your typical fantasy realm. Most games also don’t start you off in a weird swampy area.

The game also lacks the wonk of Oblivion and feels more “authentic”, like I feel more like I’m inside someone’s really nerdy and avant garde D&D game whereas Oblivion feels more like a typical fantasy game - it makes me wonder if creative changed hands between games?

I’ve also read quite a bit on this sub and watched hundreds of Dagoth Ur AI meme videos nd I know I’m in store for Lovecraftian terrors and weird buildings and that I’m beginning an actual journey, like, a strange, epic voyage.

And that the main quest, if I take it, isn’t just some black and white one where the good is good and evil are evil, but rather the good is self serving, the evil betrayed and victimized; with a lot of gray.

After watching so many Dagoth Ur videos and learning of the backstory, I’m going to basically do the main quest very last - if I even do. It would be hard.

This game already however strikes me as an enchanting journey ahead.

I wish I had someone to share it with.
