Every ring here is just some random effect to avoid casting over and over traveling effects, i got one for jump to fast travel a constant effect water walking to explore sheogorad, a levitation one, a telekinesis one to gather pearls and open trapped chests and so on. Im becoming Sauron.
My favorite enchantment is sticking 1pt slowfall somewhere and travel around casting jump

Also you should try to get 100pts sanctuary enchantments, it's pretty funny

I ain't touching that, TL:DW? Let me guess, loretuber has issues with lore that isn't sanitized?
Is basically kirkbride derangement syndrome
>kirkbride made what morrowind is (even doe, ken rolsten also helped ironing out what made morrowind great)
>dragon breaks exist therefore nothing is canon
>kirkbride still writes elder scrolls stuff that bethesda sometimes uses for lore but is fanfiction because he's not a part of the devteam anymore
>Oblivion and Skyrim dumbing down the world to the point of generic fantasy and the lore is good because is bethesda's vision
>Because nothing is canon that means my 600 mods to turn serana into a sex doll are canon because chim or something
 
Ah, so indeed it is loretuber has issues with lore that isn't sanitized. It's clockwork, they either worship Kirkbride as the Godhead himself or hate him in some way while sucking off Bethesda.
I find that a lot of skybabies that cope about the world not being interesting like morrowind is that morrowind's is "too weird" like no shit, fantasy is probably the genre where you could go crazy with the setting, instead the goycattle all they can think is "what if tolkien but orcs are le good and elves are le bad and dwarves are just manlet drunk orcs" is why morrowind is still remembered and played, nobody cares about oblivion and skyrim is being moded for years in hopes that it becomes playable.
 
Got recommended this stupid Skyrim creepypasta, it was tragically entertaining. I do like that the protagonist encounters an unused NPC and his first thought is "She's hot, I should make her marriable."

If you know anything about modding Skyrim and how the engine works you'll know within a few minutes this is full of shit. An NPC that changes appearance and age? Do you know how hard that is to code in CK? The book wouldn't be black, it'd be a generic book.

There are games in this genre out there that exist to just be le weird quirky worlds like Avowed or indie games like Dread Delusion. If Morrowind were just 'weird lore' game then it would be difficult to expand, yet it's Morrowind fans who have built the most consistent and expansive version of Tamriel through modding, while Bethesda is still stuck on daedra/dragons/thalmor threatening to destroy the world over and over.

I think what people like about MW that no longer exists in modern fantasy is the speculative elements, the idea of 'what would a world be like with widespread magic, ancient civilisations, mythical races, apotheosis and divine powers etc.' or even simple things like 99% of diseases being easily cured by potions and shrines changing how everyday people live.
It's a relic of when fantasy was still written by nerds and not theatre kids, similar to what happened to sci-fi. Most popular fantasy now is either D&D wholesome chungus shit, or else hyperfocused on feeling 'authentic' which usually means dark and miserable. I can't just play a knight with a magic sword, I need to be an authentically inbred knight with authentic plague boils, all the authentic lore has to feel like it's from the toothless mouth of an authentic illiterate anglo-saxon dirt farmer praying to gods who are all corrupted/insane (I liked Tainted Grail but holy fuck is it textbook for this shit). Imo this is the fault of both the trannies who want to subvert historical tropes (what if the church le evil!) and rightwing larpers who want to follow them autistically (omg le stoic tradcath knight persisting a dying world, he is literally me!) and as a result skybabies have literally forgotten that fantasy doesn't have to be based on reality to be good.

Don't forget the one exception to the "authentic" rule -- every single city, culture, kingdom, and civilization has to be as ethnically diverse as your favorite Californian or New York City starbucks.

Remember they tried to end the Kingdom Come Deliverance guy (and others) over just wanting to do a 13th century Poland game and rejecting the absurd idea that 20% of the NPCs should be random black/brow/asians.

Sir its a 15th century Czech game; Poles talk like effeminate fags
 
Neverwinter Nights
Very fun game. I loved this one I got it for 5 bucks at a hardware store in a bargain bin on thanksgiving.
Its a CRPG before turn base was invented I don't know if the enhanced editions put turns in, but be ready to pause a lot if they didn't.
I can still hear the screams from the prison section in my head. It was so campy but it was so good.

Just got recommended to me, please God no. Thankfully Daggerfall is a filter but even a fraction of the faggotry that Skyrim RP being leaked into this is not a good thing. Also seems to be a mix between Morrowind's engine shoved into Daggerfall's.
If you can make your own servers with it easily enough then the faggotry isn't a problem. I don't think your usual suspects will enjoy this one because its so old.
So we can have our own racist servers with blackjack and hookers in the comfort of old games and old times internet.

And never forget when he had enough money from, the players he had a black man come in and cuck you while lecturing you on your civilization in the second one.
 
My favorite thing about the whole mess is that the absurdly shit 1348 Ex Voto almost definitely was created in seething rage in response to Kingdom Come Deliverance refusing to bow to the Denmothers of the Longhouse telling him he HAD to retcon history to make it a fucking Starbucks ad.

Behold, your lesbian knight-woman, here to lecture you on how HECKIN DIVERSE the 14th century was, all while she cucks chad out of a blond Stacey.

To be fair, he is Jewish. Everyone who was paying attention expected it.

I think mine was them shit talking another dev for no reason because he had pretty women in his game. And hyping themselves up only to fall flat on their fucking face.
Fuck those people seriously. Its one thing to make your faggy game on USAID and other countries tax dollars, but to try and start shit? You are the absolute biggest faggots ever and deserve nothing but failure forever.
 
i found someone that tried the ikea mod:

I hate yotubers and streamers so much.

Edit: i gotta tip my sombrero to Ikea, they managed to make not just a proper dwarven ruin but also use the enviromental storytelling skeleton better than bethesda

If skyrim wasnt such a pain in the ass to even get to work i'd do a quick play of my own.
