New characters got 1 skillPoint more than Pre-Morrowind ones

There is a special quest for characters from othrr areas that goes yo ssme island. I dont think but have not tested that it is not available to those who did the tutorial. That might be the catch-up. Or not.

That quest doesn't give a skill point. And new characters who skip the tutorial and get a skill point for skipping can do this quest as well, so they can't put it on this quest because otherwise they'd end up with another extra skill point.

Alternatively, they could remove the point from Coldharbor. That seems to be the point of redundancy.

They can't do that, because it would screw everyone who doesn't buy Morrowind.

SydneyGrey Pretty sure everyone does the Firemoth Island tutorial now whether they own Morrowind or not. Could be wrong, but that's what I thought the devs said.

If you don't own Morrowind, you don't do the Firemoth tutorial.

Are you sure new characters get the Sould Shiver point? I'm just wondering since that's actually the name of the achievement which I didn't think gave a skill point. But if it does, its just a simple fix. Those that do the quest to come to Morrowind get one. I'm just not sure that you get one for that. I don't know anyone that's finished the story in Morrowind to ask if they got one when they went to the mainland.

I don't think there is a particular "quest to come to Morrowind". It just immediately starts Divine Conundrum, which everyone can do.

Has anyone tested this?

No

YES. LOTS were asked to test on PTS in Beta.

Short summary:

Created a new character. Ran thru Morrowind tutorial. Received Soul Magic line and skill point.

Ported to mainland. Hooded figure came out of a portal as I landed in Davon's. Gave me quest that lead to going to Wailing Prison.

Here is a screenie of me in CH as the Prophet is making the spell to levitate us up to the portal.



As you see, I am level 4, with one unused skill point.

Here I am, as I am receiving my reward from the Prophet in Bleakrock.




Now, here I am after receiving the reward and the second Soul Magic Line reward.




As you see, not only did I level up to level 5, but I now have FOUR skill points, not one for completing that quest.

Now, when I factor in:

2 skill points for reaching Level 5

In which case, I received:
1 point for doing the Soul Magic line quest a second time.
2 points for hitting level 5 with the "enhanced" post Veteran Point system.

Ok, so aside from the general principal - we're looking at 368 skillpoints per the wiki plus - and I guess this is not 100% confirmed yet, please correct me - 10 skillpoints plus the 1 extra for new characters as per this thread (edit: I mean for Morrowind).

How common would it be for characters to have this amount of skill points?

Has this been fixed?

Did any Devs say anything about this? I am making a new character when I get home from work and I haven't bought Morrowind yet. Will I really have to buy Morrowind in order to get this 1 extra skill point? Sounds like a bug

I've been mulling this over after all of the posts I've seen on this. And I am sorry I just don't see the severity of the issue.

I've respecced my main changing him from stam to mag and have like 46 skill points sitting there unused. All passives and master crafter points used too.

If this is just a "perfectionist" thing, I suggest to let it go you'll be better off for it.
ZoS has proven that they will not cater to .xx% of the population no matter what the issue is.

There are always skillpoints from DLC, even without bugs.

I am thinking of killing off 2 low level alts I just used for crafting writs during the anniversary just to get that 1 extra skill point. I haven't done anything with them except the writs.

Thank you for understanding

id be more understanding if the issue of the topic was explained...

We don't need 30 of the same thread a day.

They just don't love us anymore

jk.

It's a simple fix.

It's clear some of you are very passionate about this topic. However there are many other issues that appear IMHO to be more pressing than this one. Good luck to you, I just personally don't feel that this is an issue worth getting worked up over..

I'm guessing you have a skyshards add-on. People without that have a much harder time getting skill points.
