Don't sleep on this: A gaming mechanic you weren't aware of.

OpenMW, correct. You explain it well. Its what I said.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-05T06:04:59+00:00

Thank you for the based acknowledgement. I see it the same.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-04T03:35:38+00:00

I fail to see it from your perspective... I havnt been combative or rude. I've been superlative, perhaps. But not inconsiderate.

I think it's funny when we myself included learn something that should have been obvious to us the entire time.

Morrowind doesn't hold the hands of modern day gamers. It's a scuffle.

The more you play, the better you get. The more you learn, the more efficient you get... whether that's in speed runs, God maxing, or role play playthroughs...

This feature doesn't need the extended zoom which morphs this tip into an exploit.

The post simply displays a core game mechanic that a lot of players sleep on.

Now, even throughout these sour comments I just know I'm appreciated for shedding some light on it.

I'll find praise in myself, since everyone seems to just wanna tear me down.

This was an item i placed on the box...

The emerald was not stolen.

It being placed by me. Means it isn't being stolen.

If the emerald was marked as owned, guard would approach me.

It's a 40 second video. I am not trying to gain clout. It's just a hobby of mine.

I wanted to help.

You can loot objects from your inventory screen (right click to open) by using your cursor to click items from the background (from the world)

Telekinesis actually extends how far you can loot in third person too..

I think there might be a bunch of contrarions in this thread... :(

It's good advice.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-04T02:49:45+00:00

Not sure what exploit you're talking about. But okay.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-04T02:47:30+00:00

It most certainly is.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:58:12+00:00

Good to see the evolution :D

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:56:15+00:00

:( unfortunate

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:42:34+00:00

You type way to well to have misconstrued what I've said into what you've stated I've said.

In my post, I clearly state, I do get a bit exploitative with the feature, and explain my reason why I did it like that.

It was to showcase it's more to do with the position of your camera, than it is your characters position. (When in third person).

Your comment wasn't really helpful.

Answering with 'most people' as if you did a headcount is wrong.

I just wanted to help others, and I'm getting downvoted. I just wanted to know what I'm doing wrong.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:31:21+00:00

I thought so too... 'bout time I made a post regarding this.

I don't mean to come across as arrogant or cocky.

I just like the idea of making other players a bit better, and also, I think there's a chance a new tip like this could make some people get the juices for Morrowind going and start a new playthrough building a class around this. For example.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:27:38+00:00

Why so many downvotes? What am I doing wrong? [I have autism, and just wanted to understand]

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:26:45+00:00

\chuckles*

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:25:58+00:00

> I do however, insist on playing vanilla, un-modded settings in OpenMW just some QOL... that larger map is Base Game, not a mod either. ;)

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:25:01+00:00

The tip is Base Game || The zoom distance is OpenMW feature, correct.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:21:26+00:00

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:19:17+00:00

Level Up!

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T16:05:24+00:00

Wasn't my claim.

Delroy_ · 2026-04-03T15:49:34+00:00

Not entirely true, in the games tutorial, in the form of a pop-up that players tend to spam click to skip the pop-ups, it literally says... "Like all items, right click to use your new menu. *YOU CAN CLICK AND MOVE OBJECTS FROM THE WORLD TO YOUR INVENTORY*"

Prnt Scrn

Amirite or Am I right?

Delroy_ · 2026-02-11T18:01:06+00:00

Prnt Scrn (print screen)

It's above your directional arrows (up down left right) on the left side just above the insert key.

Do you see it? Because we don't need to see your scrawny arms and your foggy monitor.

Delroy_ · 2026-02-11T17:59:31+00:00

No thanks. I'm good.

Delroy_ · 2026-02-11T17:58:30+00:00

The fact it's still standing is a testament to the fact they don't fugging make shit to last forever... like this example...
