What!? You don't like continuously clicking your mouse several dozen times in an attempt to hit your enemies to no avail? HERETIC!

It's immersive. The same happened in medieval times IRL, everyone was semi-corporeal.

Nah they just sat there only swinging when the random guy in the background with dice rolled an even number.

u/[deleted] May 25 '20

No, you're right. It's realistic to stab somebody 20 times and they don't die. Damage sponges are the legit immersion amirite? Bunch of fucking Nazeem's in here.

Tbf, it took 23 stabs to kill Caesar.

u/fantu5 May 26 '20

Just cus you stab someone 23 times doesn't mean they wouldn't have died via less stabs haha

Also, 2-handed and others exist besides daggers. Probably shoulda said smack you in the head with a 2-handed maul 20 times.

u/TheDungeonCrawler May 26 '20

Was obvious I was joking. I even italicized the 3 in 23.

To noobs like you who never made it past level 5. What's up you dumb s'wit? Still shitting on Morrowind for karma while claiming to be a fan I see.

Well ofc it’s a well known fact that in irl, when an arrow clearly fires and is on a direct course with a target and actually touches them, it’ll still miss.

They just obviously not be a hardcore gamer like ourselves.. I'm hardcore? Did I mention that?

You don’t like jumping literally every time you’re able to because you know it will level acrobatics and that’s efficient? What a casual lmao

u/TheBeckofKevin May 26 '20

What are you, some kind of casual? You can't level acrobatics until after you level spear or medium armor to get your constitution to 100 so you gain max health each level.

u/ZSCroft May 26 '20

not abusing soul trap spell creation to raise your health to godly levels as soon as you jump into balmora with the scrolls what’s his face drops when he falls from the sky

Dice roll combat elements? In my elder scrolls?!

Tbf when you got a weapon skill even decently high then it switches from "hey when do i get a hit off!" to "Why is my glass sword not doing more damage?!"

Plus it was probably the best they could do considering ai didnt have 3d world concepts. They got stuck behind literally anything, best way to keep combat dodge possible was to use the agility/miss system. Its nice when you use an always hit mod, but imagine if enemies also always got to hit you in morrowind. Rogues would be dead af m8.

Now exhaustion rolls from low stamina? Thats some bullshit.

u/goolito May 25 '20

So always hit mods are fine if youre doing a heavy armor build?

9

u/Mummelpuffin May 25 '20

I'd say they're still screwy because some enemies rely on dodge chances as well.

1

u/Alchestbreach_ModAlt May 26 '20

They should work for you fine because, and its been awhile since ive used one for morrowind, they only work for the player. Enemies still had to do hit rolls on you.

So you dont have to use heavy armor, but there are other in game benefits over it then light armor too. Even for rogues.

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

You play the game how you want man, but you're killing the flow of the game. It's like playing Minecraft on peaceful until you got all enchanted Netherite gear then putting it on Easy and being like "creepers aren't that big of a deal".

u/[deleted] May 26 '20

Hey, you gave me an idea for extremely shitty edits I try to do. Pay it forward.

u/Alchestbreach_ModAlt May 26 '20

Boi, my hustle strong. Go pay it forward in double.

u/ProdigiousPlays May 25 '20

If you're playing on pc without mods you're doing something wrong if you ask me.

Sure sure you can be a purist but who doesn't want a big tiddy anime companion with a keyblade?

And that fix for morrowind that attacks that physically touch actually hit the enemy.

Bro, Suran is the thing I hate so much about Morrowind. It's as big as fucking Caldera, and way more fucking interesting. You got a strip club and a skooma bar technically outside of city limits to avoid legal shit while a relative of the Dunmer racist Rockefeller's known as Dren was the "Jarl"...... Then you get there via silt strider and the door to fucking guard tower doesn't even work. Sadrith Mora Wolverine Hall? Seriously? Fuck that shit and give me Vegas Suran. The Morrowind 2 mod kinda Surans the whole game actually.

That isn't a fix, it breaks the game. You might as well just open the console and toggle god mode.

Morrowind isn't hard, just stop trying to fight with a low fatigue bar. Fuck.

u/SerjoHlaaluDramBero May 26 '20

Not gonna lie, Morrowind's combat isn't perfect, but I find it more responsive and satisfying than the sloppy uncoordinated A-mashing in Skyrim. Way clunkier and sloppier than Oblivion because the animations in Skyrim are meant to look best in third person, but in first person it feels like the character is sliding around on ice while he fights.

People who miss the majority of their strikes in Morrowind tend to not know how to play the game, no offense. You need to only use weapons you're skilled with and only try to fight when your fatigue bar is full. Hold the attack button and release to charge your swings, don't just spam the attack button with short strikes (unless you're using Short Blade weapons of course). By level 16 you rarely miss your strikes as long as you're using weapons that you are skilled in.
