One on the west coast pretty for to the starting town has a ring that's like 20 will and 20 intelligence. Something a Mage char will probably keep the whole game
Well as long as we're talking about awesome hidden treasures that you can get near the start of the game in Morrowind, might as well talk about those in Skyrim.
Ironbind Barrow Can be done early on and will net you the unique Battleaxe of Fiery Souls, which is a soul-trapping twohander that also does 10 points of fire damage on hit. Unlike most unique enchantments you can disenchant this one later and apply the fiery soul trap enchantment to a weapon of your choice. It has a very solid charge scaling when applied as an enchantment, and the fire damage is a flat amount, meaning that even with a modest enchanting level you can make a weapon that has many charges available, with a short duration soul trap effect but still getting the 10 point fire damage.
If you are using the mod Immersive Weapons (which many are) you can complete the Windhelm quest Rise in the East at even very low level and the final boss will have a unique unenchanted greatsword of daedric quality. It even looks pretty cool (and it isn't a katana, praise jesus). Completing Rise in the East will also grant you a follower companion, as well as a "friend" at the party in Diplomatic Immunity who will create the distraction for you.
If you are using Immersive Armor (which is like the not mentally challenged older brother of Immersive Weapons) you can visit Sleeping Tree Camp as early as level 1 and try your hand at sneaking behind the giant inside the cave and snagging the Apotheus armor set, which is easily the nicest looking light armor added by this mod, and one of the nicest looking light armors in Skyrim. It helps if you toggle on walking, and remove any armor (particularly any heavy armor) to sneak behind the giant.
I'm sure there are countless others but these are the ones I tend to hit up at low levels.

I really, really despise Immersive Weapons. I can't bring myself to use it. It was put together by the same team as Armors, but there is no fucking way that can be true. Immersive Armors actually adds a ton of lore-friendly armor that ranges from good quality to the incredible. Immersive Weapons is laden with poorly made weapons and weapons that don't make sense.
I obsess over lore and theme friendliness. But somehow Immersive Weapons offends me far more than those runway model skimpy clothed player characters and NPCs in Fallout or Skyrim. Never thought that would be possible (nothing is lower than weeaboo child mods, gross). I think it is because of the team that made it, hothtrooper and crew, seems to be sane and reasonable, and the title is Immersive Weapons. This mod thinks its people actually lore-friendly and immersive! The gaul!
Really that just means that they have poor taste, and there is no accounting for that.
One of these days I'm going to dive into Immersive Weapons in the creation kit and take a lot of the weapons out of the leveled item lists. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Lately I have been using Alternate Start so that I can actually play the game. If I don't load into the nice simple Alternate Start beginning cell everything goes nuts with the cart ride as the scripts get rammed by all my mods loading up for the first time.
Lately I have been using Alternate Start so that I can actually play the game. If I don't load into the nice simple Alternate Start beginning cell everything goes nuts with the cart ride as the scripts get rammed by all my mods loading up for the first time.
Alternate start is absolutely necessary for me because Schlongs of Skyrim completely breaks the cart ride, but Alternate Start completely fixes it, you can even choose the start where you go through the cart ride and it works with only a few graphical oddities (also Hadvaar is naked, but that's due to immersive armors trying to put him in an alternate imperial armor set that won't load for the cart ride for some reason so... he's just naked instead in all his SOS glory).
Schlongs of Skyrim completely breaks the cart ride
I understand that the way this phrase should be interpreted is probably bland and everyday and involves error messages and so on.
But I am imagining all the ways it could be interpreted, and am giggling.
Hah hah hah.
The way it breaks it is unfortunately quite boring and completely game-breaky. It just stops the cart ride cold, nothing fires off, scripted dialogues don't start, and you just are stuck there in first person and nothing ever happens.
It's not known why it does this, but it's 100%. I guess you're supposed to instal it after the cart ride on a save game that is past Helgen, but Alternate Start works as well.
Even without reasons involving 'mods breaking cart ride', I consider Alternate Start absolutely necessary because going through the linear tutorial thing over and over again would have long since killed any desire I had to re-play this game.
OK no it wouldn't, but I'd complain about it a lot more. But either way, the mod that adds Death Alternative captures to the list of starts really gives me a friggin' lot to choose from. It's almost paralyzing.
Also I like skipping the intro because I tend to side more with the Imperials even if I'm not doing the civil war, but the intro really makes me want to go with Rolof just so I can kill that evil captain who orders summary executions of people for no reason and without any due process. Fuck that bitch.
I think I've sided with Hadvar each time except the first mostly because I'd rather be able to take all the smith's stuff than the owner of the lumber mill.
Yeah the smith does have better stuff. Which is why I like alternate start, I can rescue Hadvar without having to worry about needing my revenge against psychotic imperial executioners.

I used Alternate Start a few times, but for my current character I actually wanted him to go through Helgen and immediately become the Dragonborn. I'm weird.

Yeah, I've gotten fed up with the tantos and what not being all over the fucking place. Makes no damn sense whatsoever considering we're in god damn Nord country.

It's getting yanked tonight and since I don't actually use any weapons I won't have to worry about anything going wacky.

People always defend the mod saying "Morrowind had asian weapons!" And indeed it did, but not that many, not in such high concentrations.
Immersive weapons takes over the leveled item lists and shoves the vanilla weapons to the side, almost but not completely off the lists in some cases, and the overabundance of asian weapons (which are ostensibly Akaviri influenced weapons per the lore) is far too great for actual immersion. You'd think the Akaviri arrived a few years ago, when in fact they came, died out, and are of concern only to historians now.
hey if I want to play morrowind, what are the essential mods I need to install, and where do I find them.
Morrowind Overhaul: Sounds and Graphics is the easy way to get 99% of the way there. I don't remember what all is included in the current version, but it should cover pretty much all the current major model and texture replacers, as well as the graphics extender, LOD/distant terrain upgrades, and dynamic grass.
Tamriel Rebuilt is super rad. The aim is to add the entirety of mainland Morrowind to the game, including the same density of quests and NPCs as in the original game. The current release more than doubles the amount of explorable space in the game.
A mod to increase walking speed is a good idea, though I'm not sure where to find one at the moment.
I like GCD for leveling, though that's more of a personal preference thing. It works like Realistic Leveling for Oblivion, where your stats increase automatically with your skills, which removes the metagaming around maximizing stat gains.

The essential problem with the mod is that it adds three exotic blade types to the game (tanto, daito, katana) but then doesn't treat them as exotic when it comes to distributing them, it just slams them everyfuckingwhere.
The clubs, hammers, and axes that it adds to the game are basically all fine excepting for some low-res textures that should have been finished or left out of the mod entirely.
The altmeri sabers that it adds to the game are fine, because they are distributed to Thalmor level lists instead of being slammed everyfuckingwhere. You might occasionally find one elsewhere, but it's uncommon, as it should be.
The vanilla game has, as far as I am aware, two standard weapons that look akaviri-inspired: the ebony sword, and the ebony greatsword. Neither is common. Then there are two unique weapons which are clearly akaviri-inspired: the ebony blade, and the dragonslayer.
That's a very small fraction of the weapons in the game looking asian.
So the modders who made immersive weapons basically said that the people who made Skyrim were wrong, and changed the aesthetic of the weapons in the game dramatically.
I cannot possibly see how they can call that immersive with a straight face, unless they actually believe that they understand the aesthetic goals of the artwork in the game better than the artists who made the game, which is arrogant, and highly unlikely.
This mod is a large part of the reason that I make fun of the "immersive" line of nexus mods.

Hey. My Akaviri is a subject of considerable and current interest to many in Skyrim. Then again, she is very much set up as a stranger in a strange (barbarian) land, with weapons and armor not seen outside tombs and dusty books in hundreds of years.

Cliff Racer Remover was the first TES mod I ever installed.
Heh, I was just looking through my Morrowind Stuff folder and found my "Old Keepers" mod folder. Cliffracer Remover has a file date of 7/6/2002. Morrowind came out 5/1/2002 and I got it I think a week or two after release. So there you go.
Wow, I also made a bunch of mods I had forgotten about:
A set of rings to allow you to change the weather (still my favorite of my Morrowind mods)
Integrated Atmospheric Sound Effects with Abu's Retreat, a house mod I liked
Created a set of black clothes
Edited one of the Better Heads models to make the eyes glow
Increased brightness of torches
Increased the enchanting limits
Changed Uvirith (one of the faction player houses) to be green and lush outside
Made some changes to the Hlaalu Stronghold you get. I don't remember exactly what now, but I remember doing it
Staves held in one hand (to combine with Leiawin's Wizard Hats for the true Gandalf look)
A teleport ring
Make the weather raining when you first get off of the boat
Made Bretons taller, for when I played one
Yeah I forgot how god damn cryptic ES quests used to be. Even in Morrowind it could be a pain in the ass.
Morrowind came with a paper map that had every single dungeon in the game on it if you look closely, as well as various points of interest. When I played it I had that thing pinned to my wall, and after every dungeon I cleared and area explored I would put a little ripped piece of tape over it indicating I had finished it.
Hell, I even used the in-game names of the daedric ruins to do the letter-replacement translation of the daedric alphabet they use on the map to label them.
I got deeper into that game than I have most others since. I wouldn't have the patience for that sort of thing now.
Ohh, that map. Serious nostalgia hit. The Morrowind temptation is rippling beneath the surface again. Though I have a feeling I'd spend forever getting it set up and then not enjoy it after being spoilt by my modded-up Skyrim.
Which remiiinds me, I downloaded Shadow of Morrowind and haven't had a dabble yet. Anyone here played around with it?
You people are mad, get the intelligistia marksmen mod, get a mod that adds capes, finish the quest that gets you the skull helmet, find the infinite hammer inside a dwermer fortress, get vivec's flying blessing
BAM!
You're Thor and its hunting season. Rain infinite thunder and death on their heads.
Adul's Artifact Replace (Hopesfire and Trueflame), Armor Mannequins, Better Bodies, Better Heads, Book Jackets, Bottle Replacer, Ebony Armor Fixes, Fashionable Merchants, MW Creeper 500K (increases the Creeper's gold), Reflective Gold, and Ring Texture Fix.
So, almost entirely cosmetic/graphics/make-it-prettier mods. Plus a launcher that pushes the fog/view distance WAY back, 'cause I'm not running this on an Xbox or a computer built before 2000.

I would recommend something to increase the basic run speed, it's painfully slow unless you really jack up your speed attribute.
Seems to me that reducing the distance fog and upping run speed is just a really good way to make it painfully obvious that Morrowind's game world is only a little bit bigger than a university campus.
Become Ethereal might as well have three trollfaces for its icon. The instant a dragon breaths on me I pop BE and just laugh as all that damage drops to zero. So glad I raided the Ironwhatever Barrow before heading to the Labyrinthian.

Oh, I've got that. It's called the Boots of Blinding Speed and a custom spell that negates their blind effect for the second or so that it takes to put them on (which is when it activates, rather than constantly firing).
and Gaslight: true, but I'm used to themepark-sized worlds by now. Besides, 9 square miles / 24 square km is considerably larger than even a community college.

I don't think I've ever used it in combat. Like many of the shouts, it just isn't worth the long cool down.

Become ethereal has a short cooldown (20 seconds for the one word version, which is generally what you want to use).
It's extremely useful for pure-melee characters because you can use it during a breath attack and it's usually up again for the next breath attack. Then when the dragon finally lands you can go to town.

Become ethereal has a short cooldown (20 seconds for the one word version, which is generally what you want to use).
It's extremely useful for pure-melee characters because you can use it during a breath attack and it's usually up again for the next breath attack. Then when the dragon finally lands you can go to town.
::edit:: eehhhh, looks like a lot of the links are broken, sorry. Still worth checking out.
