The Elder Scrolls v. Chim is for bitches, Amaranth is the real deal - Games

you realize that totally fucks up the game right

I still much prefer Oblivion to Morrowind tbh, not that Morrowind isn't a great game, it's a fantastic game, but Oblivion holds a special place in my heart.

he didn't specify, so i'll throw my 2 cents: The damage values might be balanced with the dice rolls in mind, and removing the dice rolls may objectively make certain weapons better than others. Now i've played morrowind, but I don't recall if weapons have different hit chances. I recall only the skill affecting hitchances.

Some enemies are designed around being hard to hit instead of tanky. If you remove their only defense, it sandbags them a bit.

I worded that in a stupidly hostile way and then went to bed. My bad. I'll explain. Weapon skill has no effect on damage, so it essentially renders all weapon skills useless. Since fatigue affects all dicerolls, it also means that Agility, Willpower, and to some extent Luck will have virtually no effect on combat gameplay. Some weapon types also rely on Speed as their governing attribute. Also reduces the impact of putting points in that. Likewise, since the main advantage of light and medium armor over heavy armor is that it levels Agility and relies on evasion, only heavy armor becomes viable. Block is also built into the evasion formula so it also may or may not make the block skill useless. The other side of the problem is that all enemies which rely on high evasion, all hostile magic that affects any of the aforementioned attributes/fatigue (many), and less importantly, all hand-to-hand experts no longer post any substantial threat. Also worth mentioning that hits by bows and crossbows stagger every time, so assuming you're in a dungeon that would be an absolute nightmare for the player. In short, you're playing a rigged game in which character progression is boiled down to two attributes and who is wearing more/better heavy armor.

The diceroll thing is a total design ballache and therefore so is leveling, I completely understand. If it's fun for you that way then who's to judge?

Right, so I'm satisfied enough to release this. Skyrim hair replacer for Oblivion. I can't post it on the nexus due to content porting rules so this bad boy's a Facepunch Exclusive™. https://www.mediafire.com/file/v72ylyi2u57xrsr/SkyrimHair.zip/ http://u.cubeupload.com/HalfDead/201810171421291.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/HalfDead/201810171413411.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/HalfDead/201810171410511.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/HalfDead/201810171411011.jpg Not all hair is pictured.

Yeah it's a global mod so it will unless you backward your ports.

Also hoping to get Arena Deluxe and Morrowind Collector's Editions some day.

Apparently I slayed Mirmulnir so hard that Sigaar had to back a few feet away; https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/230582/efd6bcff-fcd8-4cd1-bbc3-466c302564ad/20181020234103_1.jpg

almost too easy to forget, now, that at a certain time and place bethesda would release a game with the caveats: 'do not expect automatic rewards for killing' and also 'you will fail without noted preparation and effort"'

Wait, where's the house opposite the stable, isn't that vanilla? Wow, I have played with mods for so long that I do not even remember things being parts of mods.

God, I'm so happy that ESO is a thing. I just went through my yearly cycle of getting back into WoW, being disappointed in the game and dropping it. I really wanted to play an MMO so I went back to ESO and the shift in quality from WoW to ESO is fucking massive. It's such a good game and I feel like it's quite underrated.

Never knew fame and infamy in Oblivion worked like this. Played a good guy and got 120 fame. Starting doing Dark Brotherhood quests and now people are like, "I... I use to love you but now..." You chose the wrong role model sir.

I dunno the magic system is pretty cool as well. Skyrim made me forget how amazing magic is in Oblivion. Nothing like wailing on an opponent with a mace, just to suck that final sliver of health away, along with their soul. Going to try and add a demoralize area effect as well so other NPCs will run in fear. Going for a corrupt paladin / death night run. Blackwood armor is so fitting.

This is a spell in Skyrim, it's called Equilibrium.

I don't find Morrowinds combat too bad because it's so easy to exploit that it becomes a non-issue. I mean, I can't say it's good, but the fact is that once you work out some sort of exploit based strategy you don't really mind. The easiest one is just being a hand-to-hand character and leveling up to like 70 in Seyda Neen by entering one of the shacks, beating a guy, leaving, waiting 3 days for his health to reset and doing it again. After that you can stunlock and kill like 90% of the enemies in the game.

That's objectively so much more work than actually building a character for combat and just using your preferred weapon?

What if like me your character build and prefered weapon ARE hand-to-hand?

checkmate n'wah

I've always heard Morrowind has amazing magic. What's your gripe? I've never played the game myself.

Aren't their "on touch" magic spells?

guess what? they fail. The reason why people like morrowind's magic is the near boundless spell creation. Which leads to exploits that people typically remember as why they are fond of it.

My favorite vanilla exploit in Morrowind is when you get Corpus you can just wait right next to the bed you're supposed to sleep in after taking the cure. I like to think of it as your character undergoing a very long Super Saiyan transformation.

Magic in Morrowind *is* amazing. Lategame mastery of magic allows you to do anything that other classes can do in addition to having spells so powerful and diverse as to function more or less as built-in exploits. There are literally dozens of ways to cripple or steal from an enemy in Morrowind without killing them The tradeoff is that: leveling it is a fucking chore (around 30 casts for one skill increase, so at level 1, leveling up one skill once will cost 3x-5x your entire magicka pool) virtually anything a warrior or thief can do at level x is at best a dicey proposition for you until twice that level most magical enemies literally reflect magic causing you to die at random from your own spells, leaving you zero options minus relying on summons non min-maxed magic character played casually will struggle lategame thanks to skill caps / how the magicka pool is calculated restore magicka potions get consumed rapidly and are expensive, ensuring that most of your profit from exploring gets recycled (especially frustrating given that valuable ingredients only have ulterior value to mages) restore magicka effects take valuable time in combat, which is pretty much never in your favor leveling enchant and alchemy is fucking bonkers, Morrowind shipped with bad values in the enchant formula, is almost a waste of time in combat you will have to rely on different spells and situational buffs, resulting in a lot of opening and closing menus that gets disorienting pretty fast softening up enemies with mid-low level debuff spells really just gives them time to close with and kill you enemies have to actually roll a hit on you once before your summons attack them, super frustrating which everything will do with ease This being said, it's my favorite class to roll with even though it probably doesn't seem like it. The Morrowind Code Patch reverses bad values and removes the skill cap and is super easy to install. House Telvanni is the most ballin' faction and being able to walk on water and jump 20 feet at a time is dope. So is levitating onto the ceiling while invisible and telekinetically looting everything while everyone in the room has gone blind, can't speak, and are slowly succumbing to poison while a golden saint mercy kills them with a mallet.

Anyone know anything about NPC relations in Oblivion? I want to drop shiny things on the ground and watch people kill each other over them like in Skyrim.

Well they don't seem to react to me dropping a quintillion watermelons into their dining room and causing a black hole from the amount of mass located in such a small environment... So I don't think they'll care all too much if you drop a sword outside.
