Back in Morrowind people were asking for the game to be Multiplayer. There was a lively debate on the subject, but I do remember one person posting this as what would happen to that game if it went MP. I found this in my Photobucket account and thought I would share it with you. I did not make this picture, I just kept it for 10 to 12 years

I just thought this might be chuckleworthy. For reference, this is Seyda Neen, the first town you come to in Morrowind.

Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I dug it out again last year... and was rather surprised. On one hand it's aged remarkably well, on the other, it has aged horrifically. The weirdest thing is, now, with two more numbered games on the pile, and the MMO, it's actually less strange and alien than it was in 2003.

    Also, that walk speed...

    Yeah, as a level 1 it's very slow going. Makes the map seem much larger than it really is 'cause it takes so long to get anywhere.

    Also the draw distance. I was playing with a graphical overhaul that added LOD installed, and was kinda surprised to realize just how close various settlements were to one another.

    If the walk speed was a bit faster and there wasn't all the miss chance stuff, then I'd play it more often. As is, I played Morroblivion many times through because of the amazing Morrowind experience.

    Just a bit outside of Seyda Neen there was a book to find with a nerdy jump multiplier - everyone who tried this out was either dead or nearly dead after coming back from "orbit" - haha. Maybe that is why they have 1 or 2 points.

    The design of the map was very good. If you just walked, you did think that all is pretty far away from each other, but once you had levitation on a ring and could fly (very slowly indeed), you got aware of how near all is to each other, just the roads between them were geniusly laid out and embedded in hillsides and these marvelous huge mushrooms in the mist.

    I would like to replay it with Morroblivion. Just a question about the quests?- Are those all in yet?- A while back when i read about it, I got the impression that this hybrid is not really finished. Do you know if it works with the steam version?

    So far as I saw it was pretty near completion with all the quests I remember doing, except for a few annoying bugs (can't get into the Sewers under Vivec's palace) and exploits (having magic regen means you can levitate forever!).
    It's worth playing though for the nostalgia, even if you haven't played Morrowind :p

    Morrowblivion is completely finished, you can go and download it although you require Morrowind and Oblivion to play it.

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Were some classic mistakes made in MW too, just being SP I didn't have to kill the witnesses. Anyone else ever sell the package you were given to take to Caius Cosades?

    As for move speed as someone who sneaked everywhere except in towns it could be painful. Just about every character of mine used the Boots of Blinding Speed.

    Don't know what you're talking about.

    There was a typo. It should have been "or they got confused." And the second half is just a snark at players in games who would backtrack to their previous location to search for the quest target. It happens. I've seen it occur in MMOs occasionally.

    Oh I did, it was my first RPG and I played it for years, even after Oblivion was out already. As far as levitation goes, I put the spell on a ring, then you can as well levitate for as long as you want.

    I wonder )because it is supposed to be on the oblivion engine), if the modding kit works as well then and if it has a console to manipulate things, which do not work properly in the game. This would offer a way to workaround such bugs.
