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.

I especially love the excuses for stealing the limewear and eating all ingredients out there to level alchemy. Brings back a lot memories.

Lemmy doesn't have a lot of content. I'd like this. Why don't you post a couple and see how it goes?

UPDATE:

I'm going to keep journaling this, at least for a while, over on the Morrowind community. Part 1 is up now, pretty much the same as the above post. Part 2 coming in a few minutes.
