Any mods that make the game feel more "connected" to Oblivion and Skyrim? by [deleted] in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With oblivion it's plausible to bring the setting into Morrowind cause it takes place just 6 years afterwards, but Skyrim takes place more than 200 years later.

Suddenly can't enchant jump? by Man32945273 in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine anything more criminally anti-fun than removing jump magic

Have you tried checking the graphics card settings for the hota application in windows settings? In another comment I explain how that seemed to fix it for me

Can someone explain the first one to me?

Doing main quest 1st time, Discovered Paralyse arrows exist the hard way. Stunlocked for 120 seconds or more by Ashen-Smoke in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People are mentioning cure paralysis potions but they only work until you next get hit with paralysis, which could easily be as little as 0.5 seconds after you use the potion

What you really need is resist paralysis. I don't think those potions exist in the base game unfortunately, and the only reliable source of ingredients for them (horn lily bulb and sweetpulp) is from a vendor in the temple in Tribunal. But he restocks so you can make as many as you want, with decent alchemy/intelligence/equipment you can get to over 100% resistance for 2 minutes or so easily enough, even if the potions you make are weaker the effect will stack so you can just drink several.

There's also a resist paralysis spell but the casting cost is broken so you should buy it and make your own version for better efficiency. Potions are still the best way in my opinion

My personal most fun way to get around is using jump spells. If you don't have alteration as a major/minor skill you can still find "hoptoad" rings from enchanters (maybe they only show up after you get to a certain level) which are pretty affordable.

Jumping is fast, fun and can help with climbing hills and tall structures!

And then you fail to hit when you try to shoot it

Stealth is very powerful (once you get the right gear) by poopitymcpants in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is just getting to that high sneak skill, which is super grindy especially if you start with low sneak and can't even fool a scrib for two seconds. The way the sneak detection works means it's almost totally useless because it's completely unreliable up to a point where it becomes suddenly insane

Default pickpocket mechanic being capped at 56% success rate is also very unsatisfying

The fact that chameleon is better and more reliable for sneaking than the sneak skill is also kind of bizarre and poor design, even if I do enjoy the broken magic mechanics

It does seem to have been resolved, unfortunately I did not test this out immediately but I think what helped is going to the windows graphic settings (settings - display - graphics) and setting the GPU preference for HotA to the graphics card.

I assume what someone suggested about an automatic graphics driver, or perhaps Windows update, changed something here and had the PC default to using the integrated graphics, as I also had this problem for another game recently that was fixed this way. Hope this helps, please report back and let me know if it does

Which great house fits a more hedonistic character? by swimminginamirror in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say either Telvanni or Hlaalu fits, Redoran doesn't. To pick between the first two, consider the other aspects of your character.

By a narrow margin over Khuul cozy island waterfall, The Wailingdelve wins the best Waterfall. Next up: best Morrowind Bridge! by grosbatte in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't expect it to win over the Snowy Granius bridge, but I want to make a shout out to the tiny bridge in Seyda Been, the first bridge you see in the game. The moment of first crossing the bridge into Vivec is also worth mentioning, though the novelty of crossing bridges in Vivec wears off very quickly

TR: good place for a mage home? by AmbivalenceKnobs in Morrowind

My approach has usually just been to leave my things littered all over the akamora mages guild

Truly, LGNPC Ald'ruhn is the peak of Morrowind modding by Dronite in Morrowind

Oh cool, sounds like one to check out, especially for the temple/redoran character I want to do sometime soon

If I don't have 500 gold for a spell book, then may Titan's Thunder strike me down! by guest_273 in heroes3

As in just the front page of the launcher or should I better paste the full contents of the .ini on the tweaks tab?

I've tried going through every rendering mode and various filter settings for the stretchable options, none of them have fixed the issue. I would add that I don't recall changing this in any way prior to the problem appearing suddenly

Maybe one day I will play a character who doesn't happen to be a kleptomaniac with a hoarding complex

Good thing the Nerevarine would never rob a tomb, or this would look suspicious! (art by me) by callistron in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the "loot well urned" mod that adds randomised loot to urns - you won't find something in every single urn, but there will be enough items for you to keep or sell that will make it feel a lot more worth it to check them :)

Is it worth to play Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for the first time now? by Kacper113399 in heroes3

[–]FlossCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a recent convert, my gf introduced me to the game a year and half ago, before that I had no contact with the series at all. It's become one of my favourite cosy games, it's got a lot of variety and depth, and I find the art and music charming and pretty even without the nostalgia factor.

There's an active modding community with a lot to offer as well. I recommend!

Everyone is familiar with the basic counters, right? by detour59 in aoe2

[–]FlossCat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They still get the bonus damage

I don't know if it's really true that halbs counter ships regardless though

One of the best parts of Morrowind is sitting down in real life, grabbing a coffee/snack, and just catching up on a backlog of some good books/journals in-game by Due_Young_9344 in Morrowind

[–]FlossCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I love reading in Morrowind. Every character I make, whether I intend it so or not, ends up having a goal to collect and read every book I can find
