Could I, in theory… build a pillow fort in this game

Really sounds fun to start a new character and construct a pillow fortress near Raven Rock.

Will items stack that high?

Talos symbology question

So Cyrodiil lore isn't my speciality but I'm having a surprisingly hard time figuring this out. Nordic representations of Talos have different iconography but what's the more Cyrodiilic symbols that get used? The red diamond?

Should I Keep Only Increasing Luck?

I have now reached the point where all my stats are maxed out, except luck. Should I just stop leveling now, or is there a benefit to leveling up without an attribute benefit?

Tips for bloodmoon as a pure mage.

Last time I did blood moon as a mage I struggled so I could use some tips for it.

What type of destruction magic is each race in the game weak against?

I was trying to look up what type of destruction magic that red guards are weak against, but for the life of me; I couldn’t find an answer anywhere. So I came on here to ask. Then, I realized why not ask what magic is each race weak against. lol

[OpenMW] Does anyone know how to extend the LOD distance of the 'Glass Domes of Vivec' ?

https://preview.redd.it/hu36ykhbuzxd1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=94f6b3900031e8df2083b696b6174654e6fef543

[EDIT - NOW SOLVED] I was able to get it to load them from anywhere on the map at the cost of a seemingly small performance hit. I ended up simply copying these two meshes from Data Files/Meshes/s12/Ex_Vivec_C_02_glass.nif, Ex_Vivec_C_04_glass.nif, then deleting Ex_Vivec_C_02_glass_dist.nif and Ex_Vivec_C_04_glass_dist.nif from the same folder, and finally pasting the copies and renaming them to Ex_Vivec_C_02_glass_dist.nif and Ex_Vivec_C_04_glass_dist.nif, effectivley forcing it to render the whole cantons even at a distance.

I uploaded a fix so you can do this by just installing this mod rather than copying/renaming files ~ https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/55406?tab=images

I love the Glass Domes of Vivec mod, but it's quite immersion breaking when approaching Vivec due to how the mesh for the glass seems to load in last. Is there a simple fix to this sort of thing or do I need to learn NifSkope finally? lol (my detail distance is already at the maximum and changing the cell distance further in settings.cfg did not seem to have any effect)

If it's the latter, then could someone point me in the right direction of what terms to google for learning to edit such a mesh?

I just released my second Morrowind dungeon synth/ambient album, The Seven Visions

This album artwork done by a commissioned and talented artist really captures the mood I’m gonna for. If you liked my last one, I’d love if you checked this out. I think it sounds pretty different than the first. I embraces some restraints and pushed myself to try new sounds. I’m really excited to share this. Hit me up on IG (links in the Bandcamp page) for a code!

Has anyone figured out which guilds conflict with each other?

I want to join them all but I'm sure that's not possible. I'm trying to figure out how many times I'll have to play a new game to 100% the game.

Has anyone here ever tried Rebirth and the Hardcore Overhaul together?

Both Rebirth and the Hardcore Overhaul are compatible and seem to fix most exploits in the game. Together they offer the most intense and rewarding morrowind experience you can get, where the game stays interesting for much longer, because you dont reach the godlike status for a long time. Thats what I heard, is that correct ?

N'wah moment. Again and again

good evening muthsera! I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time. Somewhere in lore sources I saw that in addition to the settled Houses' dislike of ashlanders and ashlanders' dislike of settled Houses, they call each other n'wah. It was weird to me, but damn, I definitely saw it! Now I decided to find the source, but nothing comes up. Maybe someone remembers something similar?

Picked up Morrowind again after 5 tries. Here are my thoughts so far:

Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls game, way back around 2010. I’ve given it multiple tries since then, always liked it, but somehow never managed to finish it. Every time, I’d get into the main quest, reach the part where you have to go to Vivec and hunt down those three specific NPCs, and somewhere along the way, my interest would just… fade out.

That said, Morrowind stands out in the Elder Scrolls series for being absolutely packed with content. The game world feels enormous in a way that’s a little overwhelming—like it’s almost too big to finish! But the sense of scale, the atmosphere… it’s alien and dangerous in a way no other Elder Scrolls game quite pulls off. There are places that genuinely give me the chills—like venturing beyond the Ghostgate. Every RPG should have zones that feel genuinely foreboding and intimidating. In Skyrim and Oblivion, it’s easy to feel like you can waltz anywhere and take on anything. Morrowind doesn’t give you that luxury, and I think that’s part of what makes it unforgettable.

Another thing I adore is how Morrowind doesn’t treat you like an idiot by marking everything on a map or pointing you straight to quest objectives. Finding locations and NPCs often takes real exploration, and I love how they’ve hidden unique items in the strangest places. For instance, that daedric claymore stashed in a mine near Red Mountain—you can easily miss it if you’re not curious enough to look everywhere. Or items that require levitation to reach? Amazing. It’s a game that rewards the effort to poke around every corner and investigate every nook.

One time, I stumbled across a ring in Sadrith Mora, I think? (Not 100% sure on that location, but it was somewhere in that area.) Using it teleported me to this bizarre, secret room, and I couldn’t believe the developers had coded that for maybe 0.2% of players who’d ever find it. The sheer attention to detail and creativity here is wild.

Here I am, finally on a mission to finish the game for the first time. Wish me luck! I’ve always felt this was the ultimate RPG experience in the Elder Scrolls series.

Mod

Anyone know a mod that prevents merchants from denying services to people with skooma or moon sugar? Kinda silly that they somehow intrinsically know when I'm holding, yet it takes trying to sell them their own goods to object to possessing their stuff. I don't want everyone to be willing to buy it off me, just to prevent direct objections to trade when I've got stuff on me.

Need Tamriel Rebuilt location console command

HELP, I'm a Dunmer explorer and Ravirr sold me a bauble that has teleported me to a random location on the mainland but it left all of my stuff behind.

(Give me a console location that isn't too mean, not too close to any ways back to Vvardenfell and lets me engage with a decent amount of content for a blind play through please!)

Not sure what I'll do if I get lots. Maybe a multiple universes thing with multiple saves and see which location grabs me the most.

Shadow shield

I want to sell shadow shield, I already did the quest where I needed to fetch the 3 things (including shadow shield) and went back and talked to the camp. Can I get rid of the shield now or is it required for any reason later on?

I need help!

I just finished the main quest. And I noticed that my attributes are damaged and there's no way to restore them. My strength was 172 with enchantments and now it's 148 with enchantments. My willpower was 122 with enchantments and now it's 112 with enchantments. My base willpower was 100. I maxed it out before the fight, now it's 90. I can't restore them with spells or potions. What's the problem? Edit : I removed all the items then used restore spells and it worked. Thanks for help

How to Morrowblivion?

Hi everyone! I'm not very adept at modding, the only thing I've ever modded was Civ IV and very limited. So, a few months ago I was trying to install Morrowblivion because though I love Morrowind, my favourite one is Oblivion, in part because of the colour palette that game has. But it was a complete failure. Even though I tried to following the tutorials and everything, it didn't work at all. So I'm just wondering, where can I start to learn to just install it? Is there another alternative? Do you recommend something else? I'd love to hear from anyone on this lovely community! Thanks in advance!

So in the quest when you're spying on the Royal Guard in Mournhold, you can mention your connections to House Hlaalu...
