In a nutshell…

Anyone wanna sum up the changes since morrowind? Been gone a while. Noticed sets are hybridized a some other stuff, but I’m looking for some help.

Since Morrowind? Wow, that's a lot.

- Addition of Jewelry crafting with the Summerset chapter.
- Addition of the Psijic skill line with the Summerset chapter.
- Addition of the Necromancer class with the Elsweyr chapter.
- Addition of dragons with the Elsweyr chapter.
- Addition of Antiquities with the Greymoor chapter.
- Addition of Companions with the Blackwood chapter.
- Addition of Tales of Tribute with the High Isle chapter.
- Addition of the Arcanist class with the Necrom chapter.
- Addition of the "stickerbook" for collecting and reconstructing gear.
- Addition of the Armory station for saving and recalling respecs to your builds and skills.

Those are just the major additions to the game that I can think of-- some more popular than others, some pretty unpopular.

As for trying to list changes to the combat system, TBH I don't pay a lot of attention to those, just try to adapt as best I can, but someone else can fill you in on those.

Thanks I’ll read up on those topics! The gearing and skill choices seem to have altered a lot. Does everything scale with the best damage source? Like biting jabs could scale off of magicka stats while still using stamina resources?

LunaFlora

damage scales off your highest offensive stats/max resource so yea if you have higher magicka it's from that

What are the best traits these days? Looks like Impen was reduced

You still need it. You should try to get 2500 at least if you don‘t want to be blown up

I only use Reinforced (for Heavy) or Well-Fitted (for Medium or Light). Some builds may use Divines in PVP.

Impen got nerfed in terms of value per armor slot, so I don't think it's worth it any more.
