Just started picrel, played for about three hours.
I just stepped into Balmora, and I have to ask... When does the game get good? So far I've done a few shitty quests with almost no choice at all, the "dungeons" are quite shitty so far, mostly corridors, and the walk speed is driving me nuts. No complaints with the combat tho, it's a dice roll fest but it fits the RPG aspect nicely.

>and the walk speed is driving me nuts.
walk speed is tied to your stats
so is jump height
both can be boosted with equipment, spells, and potions

the game gets good when you understand the systems at play and use them to your advantage. the game gets great when you break those systems over your knee and make the game your bitch.

FPBP OP forgot to take his adhd meds

Just quit, it's clearly not for you.

>waaaah this game doesn’t hold my hand
Literally uninstall and sell your PC you fucking zoomer.

Nostalgia takes around five years to set in.

Stamina affects everything. By Morrowind logic if you are running late and run into Dunkin to get your morning coffee you would pay more than if you walked in .
They still had a lot yo learn about making video games. Thankfully they did.

when you realize it has the most well-developed and internally consistent world in the entire medium of video games

>the "dungeons" are quite shitty so far, mostly corridors
you're really going to judge the entire game's dungeons by a few early-game caves? stick to skyrim my man.

Morrowind is all in the mind of boomers. Nothing about what they like about the game is actually in the game technically. There are 34 book swith some mumbo jumbo rantings from a drugged up Kirkbride which make up the amazing lore that doesn't translate to anything ingame.

Uninstall this shit and install a real game like Gothic instead.

Well developed? It was a fine first swing under Todd but they had work to do
Also

Internally consistent? You could get a quest to kill all the Telvani Magisters while you were a Telvani Magister.
The game world gave no fucks what you did.

Sorry i was born in 99 and started with skyrim which is cancer
Morrowind is better

Every
Fucking
Thread

you buy books with in-game money and read them in-game so they are part of the fucking game. the first NPC you're sent to tells you to go to the bookstore and read. read, nigger.

ok we all know you have 500h in skyrim and 27h in morrowind but tell yourself you loved morrowind so much more (because it makes you feel special) which is why you'll never touch it again. I've seen it 200 times.

What? Some retard bitching at the topic?
Stay mad

>3 hrs
>balmora is like a 15 second walk
Interesting tell me more zoomer

you have schizophrenia and autism i don't care what you think

I dont own skyrim though and just started a new bosmer run on my steam deck

>NO YOURE JUST A DUMBHEAD
Glad to know you never progressed past the playground

She'll find Cosades in 100 hours

forgot to say fat and also gay, my mistake romanian-kun

Bro i love making fun of that bitch with his pcsx2 threads

you don't like the dungeons? i hate dungeons in newer games where you have to spend an hour and a half poking around inside. morrowind dungeons are great because they're short and you get straight to the treasure. and when a morrowind dungeon is going to be massive, you know beforehand because it will appear massive from the outside. not like skyrim where you think you're gonna do a quick cave run and you end up spending 2 fucking hours.

so they get better later on? Branching paths? Any puzzles?
yeah I know how the game works, thanks. Just saying that at the start of the game you walk at a snails pace, which is not very fun.
yeah and I guess I should skip all the content between Seyda Neen and Balmora right. :)

If you are walking at a snail's pace three hours into the game, you do not know how it works.
Take some more time to explore its systems and how you can game them.

The game becomes GOAT once you start going into the ashlands to learn about the Nerevarine prophecy.

But you also need to explore the land a bit and see what goodies it has in store for you. Join the guilds and the imperial legion.

It's old and dated and good for the time it came out

>sprinkled shit was better
>nowadays you only get raw shit
>wish we could go back

What could I do? I've been running as much as I can to increase atlethics, and didn't found any items that might increase my Speed stat. I'm wearing medium weight armor btw, I guess that's making me go slower but I (guess I) need the defense.

>Join the guilds and the imperial legion.
ANy downside of joining a faction? Like getting locked out of other factions or something?
Currently exploring Balmora and having a bit more of fun, it's for sure better than walking slow and killing rats and cliff racers.

I replayed it in 2018 after playing Skyrim and oblivion and it made me realize how much better than either it is. From quest design, world design, to the variability of gear, stats, and spells, you really understand why Morrowind is so much better as an RPG. The only thing Oblivion/Skyrim beat it at is dungeon designs but really dungeons get repetitive no matter which game you play. The true testament of fun is in the story and overall mechanics, which Morrowind excels at.

If you join the fighters guild you might have trouble joining the thieves guild. However there’s a way around it. I forget exactly how but it has something to do with persuading. And it’s not like a hack or anything it’s part of the game.

>I'm wearing medium weight armor btw
You do not understand the game's systems.

OP, don't play Morrowind. It's a game that doesn't hold your hand and expects you to figure things out, and it's not going to give you instant gratification.

You can join both after doing two different runs one for each. Its kino figure it out yourself dont read a guide.

>You do not understand the game's systems.
You aren't helping too much either.

see

Go watch a youtube lets play with your favorite anime girl (man)

You keep telling me you already know how it works, but everything you're doing demonstrates that you do not in fact know how it works.

The fun is figuring out how it works and then breaking it. If I just hold your hand and tell you how to do everything, it won't be fun. If you really want your hand held anyway, it's a 20 year old game and there are thousands of pages of autistic walkthroughs available.

Okay anons. Tell him where to find the body of the tax collector and the wizard. He's clearly very slow. Maybe also give him Fargarth's hiding spot.

Already found those.
Thanks anyway anons, it's cool so see how much full of self entitled retards this place is.

>newfag zoomer needs even more handouts
Just stop posting and lurk thread topics you like

You played a mechanically complicated RPG for three whole hours and you're upset that you haven't mastered it yet.
You're the only who's self entitled here, user.

you move slower if you have medium or heavy armor equipped

What stats improve walking speed?
Does armor slow you down?

Also any other tips for a retard looking to restart this game? I was in kinda the same boat as OP only I actually liked the game. Just got too caught up in other shit, forgot about it. Wanna rebuild muh character tonight. I'm thinking heavy armor one handed weapons and a shield. Then again spears have greater reach, I dunno. I know magic is out of the question since it doesn't regen without sleeping. And yes, I am a consolefag. So there's no fixing that.

It gets good when you immerse yourself into the strange, alien world of Vvardenfell and the role your character plays, as either Nerevar reborn in truth or someone who walked as Nerevar until they become him. It's true the game is old, and doesn't look great without mods. But what's under the surface is something I thought was unique from other "chosen one" stories in games, in that not necessarily everything you see and read and are told is actually true. There's bias everywhere, and it's up to you to care enough to sort through this. I suppose, in the end, it comes down to whether or not you have an active imagination. When I play games, I "see"more than what's on screen in my mind, to my benefit. Old games work better for this when everything isn't "cinematic." My mind's eye is far better than what can be realistically made on screen, and so Morrowind was a perfect game to let that imagination run free. Just let your mind free when you play.

Protip use a headsrt and only focus on the game. Turn your phone off.

If you really want to get into the most game breaking mechanics then you're going to need magic and alchemy, user.

Not upset about the mechanics, but more upset about the pretty simple quests I've found so far and the lack of dungeon design (so far).
I asked the "when does it get good" as a literal question, hoping the quest and dungeon design will get better later on. Instead I got a bunch of answers from retards telling me nothing useful at all.
Really? I tried unequipping it and it seemed to have no effect. Maybe it's the inventory weight?

OP are you walking instead of running?

You can always install a simple mod to add in some magicka regen, if you hate the concept of resting every five minutes so you can cast a fireball again. I don't care if that breaks balance; wizards should always be overpowered.

>What stats improve walking speed?
>Does armor slow you down?
Why are you begging to be handheld instead of using the UI of the game to answer your questions and experimenting with the armor?

>I asked the "when does it get good" as a literal question,
And we told you. If you're just going to blunder through the game without exploring any of its mechanics then it's never going to be good.

Holy shit, no

Kinda regret being an argonian
Everybody's so fucking rude holy shit

Found some dude in the fort near Balmora that could do that for me, but it was expensive as fuck. Guess there must be some way of doing it on my own.
I'll stick to alchemy for now, would be cool to be able to at least create some fatigue potions until I fix my speed problem.
Picked a spellsword Dunmer btw, having a bit of fun so far.

Why does everyone have trouble learning this game, it's so braindead it hurts

I beat the game wearing medium armor and I have no clue what the fuck are you talking about. What, medium armor is subpar compared to heavy and light?
Quit being an obtuse faggot, the game's best qualities aren't figuring out how to minmax the best approach to bypass the RPG mechanics, which doesn't matter anyways because you end up overpowered by the midgame.

Bunch of retards thought taxes for schools was bad and are still wondering why kids are so dumb today
