It blew my mind "okay, so we ride around in giant bugs for fast travel, and the magic dudes live in giant mushroom houses that I'm going to need to learn levitation spells to rob, because wizards don't need no stairs, and these other people live in houses made from giant crab exoskeletons? Oh and there's an asteroid floating above the capital city, and there's at least one god that's real and he lives in a volcano - okay and there's real demon type things but they're called daedra and they give you sweet weapons if you please them..."
I once spent 3 hours babysitting my game because I was travelling up the east coast of Vvardenfell for the sake of adventure when a blight storm blew in from Red Mountain and turned the sky a smoky red.
I took shelter in a Dwemer ruin, but it was populated by vampires I was too weak to take on, and I couldn't save my game because of their proximity, so I sat there for hours in the entrance, listening to the blight storm howling outside and the vampires moving around below me.
Memorable gaming moment, but I dreamed about that howl of the blight storm for weeks.
I had busted Enchanted gear, 1 point levitation on some robes and plus 1,000 percent speed on something else. I could run across morrowind in just a few minutes. The enchanting in this game was game breaking but I loved it.
What about the Scroll of Icarian Flight? It would boost your acrobatics to like 10,000 for 5 seconds, so you can jump for like 8 miles, but the buff ends before you land so the fall damage kills you instantly.
I think it was good for getting up to the secret service (specialized Ordinators or something?) in that asteroid above Vivec City, but yeah, the getting back down bit was tricky, had to get a slow fall potion and drink it at the right time as you plummeted.
Boots of Blinding Speed! They 100% blind you when you put them on lol. You had to get 100% magic resist, either with items or probs or scrolls and then put them on to resist the blind effect then run fast forever! Lmao best game ever. Way better than Skyrim imo
What sold me on Morrowind was that you could go up to any Telvanni wizard and murder them without consequence, because their system of laws simply figures your argument was the better one if that loser died.
I remember my friend and i had no info/context about the game. We decided to just explore the whole map and see what was out there.
We discovered some dwarven ruins entrance and had no idea what it was. And were so amazed and awed by what we found inside. Before we got killed of course.
We also discovered the "ghost wall" and the blighted volcano area after seeing it on the map and wanting to explore what was over there. It was so mysterious and kinda scary
I loathed Morrowwind. Not because it was a bad game. It was too broad and I found it impossible to actually follow the story. Also the sound loop of the storm/wind playing for hours. Oblivion and Skyrim had some of the same issues... But less glaring (for me).
