A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Playing Morrowind again for the first time in probably 12-15 years, sell me on a character concept. (lemmy.world)

I just got done installing OpenMW and setting up the I Heart Vanilla mod list. I also added Daisy's Lua Multimark to help with getting around a little better.

My only real requirement is that I want my first character to use spears as a primary weapon, because I miss them so much when I play other Elder Scrolls. Medium armor synergises well with spears and Bonemold looks sweet, so I'm leaning towards that, or maybe a medium/heavy mix later when carry weight's less of a problem.

Other than that, I'm open to suggestion on race, the rest of the build, and factions to seek out. What do y'all think is the most fun for someone coming back to Vvardenfell after so long?

EDIT: A few people liked my writeup of character creation, and it's helpful to have a record of what I've been doing in a game like Morrowind, so this is now a Let's Play-type journal that I'm calling Morrow(Re)wind.

I'll be posting updates on !morrowind@lemmy.world so as to not spam this community.

Generalist builds work well in morrowind. If you care about easier traversal, athletics, acrobatics, mysticism and alteration are all great picks. If you want to make the game easier, you could also take alchemy and/or restoration. Other than that, you can just take anything. Morrowind is one of my favorite games, but it is not a hard game. Just make sure your weapon of choice is a major skill if you want to hit anything.

I also highly recommend exploring tamriel rebuilt and project cyrodiil. They are massive, well made, and lore-friendly. I enjoy a lot of that content more than the base game, honestly.
