the first dude to get randomized! olmric the good, a nord from eastern skyrim. his race/class combination was cracked (he rolled barbarian) and he had a cool sign (he was born under an aspect of the lady that let him heal others). he spawned near fort frostmoth, solstheim, got swindled by the boat person who took him to an empty raven rock, swam all the way to ald velothi, and then took a boat to dagon fel. he died to an orc bandit while trying to scrounge up enough coin to go to skyrim

#p #morrowind tag #rest easy my guy.....#i may remix this concept into a permanent character

anyway I've been playing morrowind lately

- by far my biggest "why..." is wrt how often attacks just. miss. like- okay brief note that I've been playing on godmode bc I got Immediately bored-frustrated by trying to maintain health and stamina while having No magicka regen- okay so I decided to test it out. got in combat with a rat, went in unarmed, just to see how long it took me to punch the rat to death. I went up twenty fucking hand-to-hand levels without landing a single hit, by which point i was bored and just re-equipped my sword for a one hit kill. the miss rate is fucking absurd

- hey speaking of godmode. what the fuck do you mean all it does is give you infinite health/magicka/stamina. why do I still have to count arrows. why do I still have to count carry weight

- I'm not hating the lack of quest markers as much as i expected to. what keeps getting me, though, is that the journal is so nonspecific even about things you-the-character definitely know. I spent fifteen minutes wandering every last layer of vivec city trying to find the damn mages guild again bc i couldn't remember what canton it was in, much less which floor, and my journal could only tell me "go back to the mage's guild in vivec :)". eventually I got frustrated and asked uesp for the answer, and I'm getting the sense that I'm going to spend a Lot of time there bc this game is. not for stupid people

- what i miss most from the other games is map markers. blease put a lil symbol on the minimap when I walk by a cave. I can't tell it's there, otherwise

- maybe the bottom left corner of the map is just comparatively empty. maybe exploration will feel more rewarding as i get further along. maybe there will be literally anything in this formless brown blob of a landscape besides me and all these fuckdamn rats

- how in the fuck do merchants magically know that i've got moon sugar in my pocket but not that i'm selling them stolen goods

- every bandit having a name makes me nervous that by exploring I am accidentally fucking myself over by killing npcs for quests i haven't reached yet

- how tf do i level mercantile. half my time is spent selling shit and yet not a single skill level has been gained

- man oblivion's acrobatics/athletics really upped the effect of leveling compared to this. by hitting 50 skill now I have unlocked the ability to... jump 1 foot in the air and to powerwalk. I miss jumping onto roofs. it's hard to feel like I'm making any progress

- also even with a font replacer i am hurting my eyes with the constant squinting. maybe i need a replacer with a more basic font

- had to turn the voice settings way down bc I can't walk two steps in vivec city without another fuckdamn ordinator telling me "KEEP MOVING" in that loudass gravelly voice. can I make a mod that just completely silences that and "wHAt do you wANt, oUTLANDer?"

- no really why tf did they go with the weirdest possible emphasis in that line

- maybe I should just reinstall oblivion. I'm starting to miss wes johnson's guard voice

her name is farama. redguard priest of mara. pacifist, though she did kill one kwama forager. she too started at thrisk hall but having started out with water walking she managed to head to fort frostmoth and out of the island. she's still alive hehe

#p #morrowind tag #PRIEST AND REDGUARD IS SOOO SUR VIVABLE LET ME TELL U #run fast from enemies divine intervention starting skill due to her birthsign #until i can cook some custom spells for managing encounters and bandits im being rly careful and doing mages guild quests

his name was tolkir bearded-shade. nord crusader who absolutely did not have a beard yet. started out at thrisk hall, perhaps an attempt at purging solstheim of werewolves. he met his end against a riekling after he got lost on a blizzard as he tried to find the skaal village.

#p #morrowind tag #im having so much fun with these #trying to learn a lesson with each failed attempt #and im having fun doing these post-mortems #the roleplay aspect of trying to figure out who the character is and what would their goal be #(bc i want each character to have a goal as their 'win condition' of sorts)#is so fun and reminds me of playing randomized project zomboid characters

her name was visanne boulat, and she was a breton bard who found herself in the necrom catacombs. she would a day later die in a dunmer stronghold outside the city.

#p #morrowind tag #yeah looking back going into a dunmer stronghold wasn't the best plan of action #but in my defense sometimes you can nab some nice items before facing anyone

remember how a long time ago i was doing these ironman mode-esque characters in morrowind? i've been doing that again! here's my roster (all dead rip)

tirinaat: she was an ashlander sorcerer. she spawned at a telvanni waystation near altbosara, in mainland morrowind (added by tamriel rebuilt). she died en route to tel mothrivra to a bandit

shera gra-sgrugha: spellsword orsimmer was a combination i found really interesting. she spawned in karthgad (added by skyrim, home of the nords) and promptly signed up for a guy's get rich quick scheme that consisted in luring someone else to go on a hunt with them and kill that guy. except both of them turned on her and killed her. 10/10

khifi: my longest survivor so far who made it to two days. by far my favorite character creation. she rolled witch hunter and worshiper of magnus, which i took to mean she was a magic user specialized in taking down necromancers and the like. she spawned near ammar, joined the mages guild, got tasked with finding roughly a billion flowers, and died to a bandit and rat while looking for these flowers
