[QUOTE=Altimor;42196842]How strong are they
I met a Storm Atronach and it just one shotted me [B](although I'm on the highest difficulty so M'Aiq's grandma can one-shot me)[/B][/QUOTE]
M'Aiq's grandma could one shot you on any difficulty.
[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;42196897]M'Aiq's grandma could one shot you on any difficulty.[/QUOTE]
It's true, M'aiq himself said so.
[QUOTE=The golden;42196904]That's one of the reasons I never touch alchemy in Skyrim. It takes so long to level it.[/QUOTE]
And restore magicka potions are not easy to come by, in shop or ingredients. The only recipe I bought for it said to use [sp]Grass Pod + Red Mountain Flower[/sp]. Sure, they both had Restore Magicka, but they also had Ravage Magicka, so that puts the whole recipe out of the question.
[QUOTE=Stonecycle;42196775]Skyrim partially for the fact it takes hundreds of potions to level up once from the get-go. This is very wrong compared to enchanting, which you could easily start leveling up by disenchanting anything in your travels. You could max out all the schools of magic before you reach Lv50 alchemy.[/QUOTE]
Skyrim alchemy varies depending on the power of your potions. Spamming restore health potions won't cover it, you need to get creative.

River Betty + Deathbell + Imp Stool
or
Imp Stool + Canis Root + Mora Tapinella makes some seriously powerful poisons that will also level up the skill quickly.
my healing method may trump that
raw meat+cheese wheel+raw meat x 100
healing like you couldnt believe
[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;42196969]It's true, M'aiq himself said so.[/QUOTE]
M'aiq know everything, he can even see 200 years in the future.

I just found out on Oblivion that if you watch the fighters outside of the imperial arena or the blades at the cloud ruler temple train, you get skill points on your own.
Also a friend of mine bought me the TES anthology for my birthday, yaaaay
[QUOTE=HubmaN;42191919]Not yet - and neither will it be anything more than a technical overhaul in the near future as plans dictate. If you're interested in playing lithe and light-running Morrowind, though, with a few more graphical accoutrements native (AA comes to mind) - why the hell not; you'd have the equivalent of an installation a few steps down from an MGE - yet hopped up; recall that MGE's brutal on the per-frame budget - installed by a stickler for the vanilla aesthetic.[/QUOTE]
My PC sucks, I can only play games circa 2001. I doubt it could handle MGE but what other mods would you suggest?
Has anyone ever had any luck with exporting a specific character model out of Skyrim? Like, the PC.
[QUOTE=Zethiwag;42201075]My PC sucks, I can only play games circa 2001. I doubt it could handle MGE but what other mods would you suggest?[/QUOTE]
Better Bodies/Clothes/Heads & New Beasts
Tireless Running
Any mod that holds off Dark Brotherhood assassination attempts until a certain point in the story.

Better Heads slows my framerate whenever I look at somebody, but the others sound good. [url=http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2092758]This seems like a decent list[/url]

Then how are you running Morrowind, a 2002 game?
Checkmate
[QUOTE=Altimor;42191048][t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/charstats.png[/t]
I'm a slashy casty (only casty up until recently when I figured out you had to hold the button down to swing at full power)
No idea why I picked Conjuration as a major skill I never use it in MW
EDIT: OH GOD MY MAGIC BOX WAS MOVED SEVERAL PIXELS OUT OF PLACE[/QUOTE]
I felt amazed upon seeing your inventory. When I play Morrowind, I always carry lots of tiny things with myself. For example, my current character:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/95xvyyT.jpg[/t]
Dark Souls has ruined dying on games for me. I would love a mod that allows me to set a camp/home/whatever as a base or checkpoint so you go back there when you die.
But that is a large task. Right know, I want to know, would it be possible to re-create the Dark Souls penalty for death as a mod? As in having to re-locate your experience gained, and have 1 chance to get it back in the form of a pick-up left where you died. I am guessing that ties in to what I said above, and that is a lot to do. Never use the CK or scripting myself...
I am willing to leaen, just need some general pointers.

Checkmate[/QUOTE]
Oh, I know. It can't even run Morrowind.
[editline]15th September 2013[/editline]
Morrowind says I'm missing a master file associated with some plugin, and when I start a new game it tells me an executable cannot run anymore, then I can't even click Yes or No to proceed because my cursor disappears. Not sure what's gone wrong.
[editline]15th September 2013[/editline]
"Script YAC_SNK_ToggleScript Trying to RunFunction index greater than function count The Script will not run anymore. Continue running Executable?"

Wait, I think I found it.

Look at your max weight then look at mine
Yeah Morrowind is extremely unstable when it comes to mods.
[QUOTE=Altimor;42204043]Look at your max weight then look at mine[/QUOTE]
Yeah, max weight is a lot higher, unlike the current one. I assume the heaviest item in your inventory is the daikatana. And now imagine, how many different (useless) potions, scrolls and keys (wait, maybe not keys) you could carry with you instead of it!
Carrying loads of heavy things all the time. Usualy because there's nobody to sell them too.
It'd be nice if the next game had cities. That way there'd be different teirs of shops that sell the same things (poor X, Normal X, Large X/elite X) That way you'd be able to sell all of your shit AND crappy blacksmiths won't weirdly be selling elite gear.

I need a massive sword to compensate
[sp]For my low melee skills[/sp]
Probably gets asked every other page but what are a few good ways to get back more FPS on Morrowind?
I was going up to the high hrothgar and I found random friendly bandits. Is this normal or have I finally demolished the natural order of the universe with my mad experiments?
I also had 5 FPS from uGrids 17.

Running into random NPCs there seems fairly common.

I once ran into an entire bandit camp that wasn't hostile to me for whatever reason, I killed one and they still didn't aggro.

There is a mod that does exactly that called death is overrated I think
I didn't like it though
Dark Souls' death system in skyrim is more annoying than anything.
I ended up going with autosave manager and it autosaves auotmatically upon certain events happening so I just rely on those saves (instead of quick saves) when I'm playing
So, apparently the White Phial will exist even far into the future:

boots of blinding speed, 100% resist magic, walk everywhere at running speeds.
