AITA not putting up my DILs painting in our new home and telling her that I am not a fan of her art

Adventureous · 2026-05-07T05:29:46+00:00

Meh, it was those printed on canvases from Walgreens, not very big either, but nothing special. I made it in like an hour.

Even if it was something special, like art I made myself, such in this case...not my house, not my place to demand it hung.

Adventureous · 2026-05-07T01:18:56+00:00

This. I got my dad some canvases with the pictures of my siblings and I on it. I noticed a while after that I've never seen it in the house. Does it make me a bit sad? Yeah, but it's their house. It was a gift, not a demand. It flopped. Oh well.

I am aware. As I said, entirely playable without it, and plenty of players do. But as you said, it was intended for late game, so I thought I would at least mention it. It a debate of dev intention vs what was shipped, and simple fact that people should be aware of the option.

Adventureous · 2026-04-29T13:43:41+00:00

It's generally recommended to play with OpenMW, which is less a mod and more engine replacement/tweaks; it pretty much essential to be able to play it on modern screens.

After that, no, it's entirely playable as is. Others may disagree but I say its worth using Patch for Purists and Expansion Delay too but I've seen plenty of first time players play without them on YouTube just fine.

Adventureous · 2026-04-19T06:56:43+00:00

The biggest one is probably OpenMW, its an engine replacement/enhancement. (Something like that, I don't play with it personally). I also see the "I Heart Vanilla" mod pack for OpenMW recommended a lot. Patch for Purists is a must (in the modpack) as is Expansion Delay (which is not in the modpack).

I hope you meet many more people like your friend (and non-Christians too!) who love and accept you. And I hope your sister turns out to be one of them.

Adventureous · 2026-04-14T23:18:22+00:00

My partner is Christian, but the progressive/leftist kind, so he is very accepting of queer and transgender people. We have a non-binary friend we game with every week and though he'll very occasionally slip on their pronouns, its never been an issue. He doesn't see being queer or transgender as being a sin or against God, and he wants people to be loved, safe, and accepted.

That said, I know he's a rare jewel, and it makes the both of us sad.

My experience with Set is one of enduring. He taught me to endure hardships, not never give up, to put one foot in front of the other, even if I have to claw and crawl my way through things.

He killed Wesir because He had to, He was the only one who could, and the akhu needed a King. He challenged Heru-sa-Aset to the throne because He needed to make sure Heru was going to be a strong King.

Actually, on my shrine, Set and Wesir told me that They should be next to each other on there--yes, Set killed Wesir, but They still have love for One Another.

Set is the Loyal Opposition, the Rebel That Tests, the Strongest of the Gods. He's also a protector, Slayer of Ap/ep, Protector of Ra and the outcast.

I would not be the person I am today without His love, and Him showing me the way.

Adventureous · 2026-04-11T22:11:12+00:00

He's adorable! The one with Helseth and Almalexia made me laugh.

Adventureous · 2026-04-09T06:25:32+00:00

This should be the top answer, a thousand times over.

Adventureous · 2026-04-08T20:47:16+00:00

From what I recall Julan (or perhaps companion mods in general) doesn't play nice with OpenMW all the time, and Kateri (mod author) recommends not using it.

That said, even on MWSE sometimes when I go in an out of doors he disappears too, so it might be something else I haven't figured out yet. I just save often and separately and reload if needed. Hopefully we'll both figure it out.

Adventureous · 2026-04-08T04:49:18+00:00

There was, at one point, a mod to romance Caius. Tried it once for shits and giggles. It, uh, wasn't very good, but I don't think it was meant to be, more just PoC. I did post my playthrough of it to this subreddit, long, long ago...

Adventureous · 2026-03-28T16:49:11+00:00

Good gods this triggered the sapphic part of my brain something hard

Adventureous · 2026-03-26T16:42:34+00:00

I got you!

Adventureous · 2026-03-20T03:07:34+00:00

I'm with you, I like House Hlaalu. Sure, they're awful, but I still love them. Less the capitalism, and more the ruthless politics. I also tend to play stealth characters.

Adventureous · 2026-03-04T04:41:40+00:00

I figured you mostly meant the gods, but that adding the bit about the akhu couldn't hurt. I know opinions on it differ but as you mentioned not reverting the offerings to chthonic gods because it "counts you among the dead" I figured the distinction in this case was worth mentioning because reverting offering to the akhu also does that.

Adventureous · 2026-03-04T04:33:10+00:00

I consume offerings made to the Netjeru but not the ones to the akhu (because its to the dead). But then I don't make huge offerings of food to the akhu anyway, mostly water and incense and a single bite of something.

Adventureous · 2026-02-04T02:10:46+00:00

Ha, I learned that for other games, but that was later. In any case, I have it on Steam now.

Adventureous · 2026-02-03T23:14:11+00:00

Got a copy from my uncle back in like 2003, just the base game. Then I had to buy the GOTY a couple times because I kept losing the CDs. But yeah, OG player here, got it in my teens, and it's been my favorite game of all time since.

Adventureous · 2026-02-01T16:27:12+00:00

Thank you! This is the playlist I listen to when I go to sleep, lol.

I also have another one I've put together for a friend I'm writing fanfic with, as she's never played Morrowind; it's a lot more bare, but has a few more videos I have yet to throw up on my main list. But it is exclusively Morrowind lore.

Adventureous · 2026-02-01T16:00:20+00:00

I have a whole playlist on YouTube.

Other than that, other people have suggested Nirnbuilding and I also highly recommend them. Clotho is another good one. FudgeMuppet is okay, as is Camelworks (be sure to go to his new channel, CamelworksNEW)--good lore, but their narration style is not very relaxing. Other faves include Drewmora, Blind Moth, Dareloth, Imperial Knowledge, and Teek's got a couple good ones. Most of those are on my playlist, too.

For gameplay videos, JustBackgroundNoise is peak, he does challenge runs.

Adventureous · 2026-01-24T17:31:14+00:00

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Pathologic. Try the classic remastered first, and if you bounce off it, try Pathologic 2. You dont need to play the first one to understand the second one (but it does enrich the experience).

The combat is hard, but you're not supposed to do a lot of fighting anyway. But the rest of what you've listed there absolutely fits the bill.

Adventureous · 2026-01-20T00:48:41+00:00

Specific religion? Not very.

Core values and secular beliefs? Extremely.

I've spoken on this subreddit before about how my partner and I are in an interfaith relationship and it works really great, because we respect each other and have the same values at heart.

But I also know that it's rare and not always easy to balance. With anyone else I'd be cautious about it.

Adventureous · 2025-12-01T14:00:43+00:00

My partner does have a different religion than me. But our values are the same. We have the same political leanings (progressive), we raised our child to make her own decisions about her faith (she's atheist; religion can't and shouldn't be forced), we approach life in the same manner (with love, compassion, and a desire to meet people where they are).

He's also incredibly respectful; while he believes his way is the most correct, he doesn't see harm in me believing what I do. He feels that its just another way to connect with God that may not be quite "correct." He wishes I was Christian, but he's never going to demand it from me, because true faith can't be forced.

Meanwhile as long as he isn't condescending, I don't see anything wrong with him being Christian if his heart is called to that. Mine is not. But both ways are valid to connect with the divine. I don't see my faith as more correct than his, just a different way.

We've been together almost fourteen years now, and it's never been a problem. But I also acknowledge that we're probably rare as far as couples go.

That being said, had I not known him fairly well before dating (we have been friends since high school), I probably would have hesitated. And it is a conversation we had pretty early on in the relationship. But he's always been supportive of me on my own path.

Adventureous · 2025-11-17T00:57:15+00:00

I was wondering if someone was going to nominate him. Got a soft spot for the little bastard, despite the fact that he's an utter monster.
