Just reinstalled on my little work laptop.  Share your favorite stories from the homeland of the Dunmer!

 

Once I went and stole every pillow I could find(including that crazy pillow lady's house in Balmora) and built a house out of them.  The collision got all wonky when I tried to add a roof/second floor, but it was still awesome.

The day I found every variable I could want in memory editor.

 

Infinite money, health, and mana led to some god-tier shenanigans

 

Like a spell that caused a city-wide ball of fire that burned foreeeeeveeeeer.

Personally, I enjoyed killing as many things as possible. Not even sure I ever completed the game. >.>

I'd write messages on random beaches with coins. Punched the talking mudcrab, buffed his speed, then led him to my house in Raven Rock. Did the weapon-switch glitch to pump my agility to the thousands so I could jump from Vivic to Solstheim.

 

Oh man, I miss that game. So much random fun.

Seriously, part of what made Morrowind so awesome was how much you could break it.  None of these hard caps on specific stats or inability to kill certain NPCs.  Nope, I'm gonna jump to the top of Vvardenfell and nuke the entire populous, DEAL WITH IT.  Don't care how many quests it fucks up.

I agree that being able to break the game made it a million times more enjoyable.

The game itself was awesome, but accomplishing god-like powers made it all the more fun.

 

I would always fill my stronghold, once I got it, with all of my gold.

Just piles and piles of gold laying around being all shiny and beautiful.

It made me so happy.

Especially when I earned it all through quests and such.

oh morrowind! What great memories I had of that game! I remember when I got it back in 2002 and me and my friends played it at the same time, all winter, It was awesome. I played Dark Elfs and always joined the thiefs and morag tong. Great game with one of the best musicscore ever, a really good mood game! Way better than Skyrim

Agreed on the music.

I will forever have the background tunes from Morrowind burned in to my very soul.

I haven't played Morrowind since high school (2005 maybe), but from time to time I find myself whistling it out loud without warning.

God I love it.

I've got the soundtrack on CD in my car, haha.  I actually really enjoy the skyrim soundtrack as well.  Oblivion's soundtrack is a bit lackluster to me, but whatever.  I do love the music from morrowind the best, though...

Yep.

Annoying and everywhere.

 

Also, here is a bit of mind rape for you.

Zubats are a modern pokemon, that evolved from Aerodactyl, a now extinct (nearly) pokemon.

As in natural evolution over millions of years.

Aerodactyl turned in to Zubat.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The pokemon universe is riddled with inconsistencies and exceptions to their own rules.

It is like the English language of made up cartoon worlds.

Why is it that people seem so caught off guard when I say something profound?

Is it because I am expected to be a beer swilling poutine munching hockey player?

Ah Morrowind how I remember thee...

I was a nord who was a necromage (custom class)

I enjoyed exploring every corner of Morrowind and stealing from rich dunmer. I'd sell every last item they owned...

I too had necromancer mods. >.>

 

Also, I just realized that Morrowind should run rather well on the E-350 that I have running my living room TV. >.>

I started playing this today. Custom class spellthief wood elf, because fuck stereotypes. Wandered outside the starting town, headed for Balmora or whatever, took a wrong turn. Found a cave (U-something I think) and this random falmer-looking thing fucked me over in two hits.
