Man, this is precisely what I was looking for. I recently got into this game suddenly and realized it's the most liberating and immersive RPG I've played in a while. Encouraging you to use your head and not really holding you back with what you can and can't do. So much lore and atmosphere, and the best part is the game doesn't hold your hand! Such a refreshing experience. You're on your own. You're free to do whatever you want from the beginning. I've played games that just pummel you with cutscenes and non-skippable dialogs and information overload in the first few minutes that just turns me off completely, but not this game. I was so surprised there weren't any quest markers. There wasn't a clear direction on where to go right away, just a vague suggestion of going to a trade house nearby to get what is essentially a piece of paper with not very clear-cut directions of finding a certain city which then you had to ask around for a certain someone who could maybe inform you of what to do next; like what?? they certainly don't make games like that anymore. I Swear I haven't had this feeling for a game in a long time. I was too young when this game first came out, but I'm glad it's made it's way around to me now. I'm so into it that it's only my third day playing, and I'm already looking into min-maxing so I can have a "perfect" character, so to speak, lol. We gotta protect this game at all costs. RPG done right. 🤙
Same here, I'm one week in. It took me 2 attempts at playing the game to fall in love with it, because the reading/journal turned me off at first. But now I gave it another shot with a little notepad on hand and dived head first. Don't really see the need to play Skyrim again for a while. Also looking forward to download Tamriel Rebuilt once I finish the main storyline. I only just started the main questline, after a week of binging the game, because I became the Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild and the Head of the Fighters guild, and got all my attributes to 100 and several non-essential skills to 100, before I even stepped foot into Casius' house lmao. Looking forward to one-shotting Daddy Day-Gother.
@@Toad-o3t So midmaxing doesnt give bonuses to the individual 'Skills,' But to their governing skills only..? What if wanted to midmax as a mage type character? Put alchemy and all that in the misc and one frome each of a few there?
pawnbreaker in suran sells brokendown glass dagger for around 100 septims, you can buy it, repair yourself or via blacksmith and sell for 2k+ to weapons vendor, or 4k if i remember correkty to skamp in caldera
Money trick if you're not on PC. When you make a fresh guy put alchemy as a minor skill if you want to level up too. If not, just leave it. Start up and buy whatever weapon you have the most skill with at the trader in seyda neen. Go to balmora, set the difficulty to the easiest setting and kill ravir the trader. His fake daedric weapons will sell for a lot. Make your way over to nayclara the alchemist and buy the stuff u need to make potions, then buy scales and muck. All of it. Sell it back to her. Buy the new amount. Sell it back. Now create potions, sell them to her. Once you have repeated this and have about 5k gold increase the supply of the scales and muck to a couple hundred. Your potions will be turning a profit. You can make 3000, rest 24 hours make 3000 more. You'll be spending money on ingredients but as your alchemy goes up you will be turning more of a profit from potions of drain fatigue. You can get about 70k per hour. Note even after you rest her supply will still be whatever you left it as. Aka 500 scales and muck or whatever. I did this as a kid and was able to get a couple hundred thousand. *I recommend you try to start with a little more than 1k gold so you don't get stuck but it works all the same. *in tribunal you can do this too but we're talking early game so I do not recommend you even think about going there. Even on the easiest difficulty you'll be one shotted by the weakest sewer goblin.
I have had characters 100+ level you are wrong sir there is no level cap. If you have a 101+ in a major or minor skill you can train unlimited at the master trainer in that skill.
So this week I started my second attempt at MW, and actually reached past Balmora (got hooked). 2 days in and I got the gist of how to take the most advantage of the level up mechanics, and it led me to do pretty much what you're doing. Listening just to make sure I did everything correctly haha. EDIT: One thing I did differently (idk if it makes a difference or not), is that I always got 3 attributes x5, and I left luck for last. Why do you do only 2 attributes x5 per lvl up? Obviously endurance is a must but why not take advantage of the other free x5 attribute?
He only does two attributes x5 +luck because the maximum level is only 78, and luck starts at only 40 gaining only one per level if taken every level, so there are only a few levels worth of leeway
Thanks a lot! I want to x5 Str, Agility and Endurance every level, so I guess I'm going to need.. a lot of gold xD .. at least when I hit 100, I don't need to care about what I'm levelling up without the fear of loss.
I fully agree. I feel the game is heavily centered around alchemy. Like before fighting any medium to strong enemy at low levels it is absolutely necessary to chug up health and stamina potions. It was only a matter of time until I decided to max out alchemy and abuse it. Also training is expensive AF and skills increase very slowly at low levels. Even tho Caius Cosades tells me to get trained, I basically have no money. So again that just naturally leads to abusing alchemy for money
This one video taught me EXACTLY how to power level, other videos just have misc information. But now before starting even one quest I've maxed out all attributes and I still need to train skills that I want to actually use. Right now I'm level 32. Will the game get too easy? Also even after maxing out attributes my magicka is only 100. Is this normal?
Magicka total is only affected by Intelligence. It is directly translated over -- if you have 100 Intelligence, you have 100 Magicka. If you have 50 Intelligence, you have 50 Magicka, and so on so forth. This is augmented further by your sign if applicable (Apprentice, Atronach, or Mage). Raising your intelligence by any means (spells, potions, enchants) beyond 100 will still benefit you and grant even more magicka. Alternatively, you can specifically fortify Magicka (separate spell/potion/enchant from fortify intelligence) to increase your total. When creating your own spell, it can have up to 8 effects, each with a maximum magnitude of 100. These effects can be the same and *can* stack. This means you can fortify intelligence by 100 points 8 times within the same spell for an additional 800 points of Magicka. Then, of course, you can do the same with fortify Magicka as a separate spell. To get even crazier though, when you have boosted intelligence, it increases the potency of your alchemy and enchant crafting while you're buffed. This means you can craft a potion / make an enchant with ridiculously inflated effects after buffing, say, with an 800 intelligence spell, even if it lasts for just 1 second. We could go on and on, but I'll leave it at that.
@@TheGryphonious thanks for the reply! I figured the intelligence loop eventually. I finished the main quest when I was terribly OP. Even then it was really interesting coz the story is so intricate. I'm now going to do a playthrough without powerleveling and with all the anti-cheese mods
In morrowind you dont really need to obsess with numbers, its very forgiving in wasting points. The one who is stressful is oblivion because you wanna stop leveling at 30. Just avoid going to bed and if a mission requires it, just cancel fast to bypass the level up screen and continue quest. Why level 30? because that way you guaranteed the best version of uniques and the games is less slugfest than in upper levels due to the bad game design of scaling.
I know this video was posted well over a year ago, but does anyone know what mods he's using to show the skill level ups and the alchemy mod to craft x amount of potions at a time?
MY AJIRA is blocked off!!! ... :-( ... . NPC Teleporter Lady will NOT move she is stuck in the damn DOOR somehow lol unless I kill her but then I have to reload game right
You can do this after youve maxed your other stats in 5 5 and 5 Dw too much. Also bitter cuo or starting with luck favoured can give you huge binuses if you care for it On top of that nor dis highest endurance not orc or redguard like this guy said lol...
I forgot what my exact starting combo was but several years ago I did the math with a Breton Male (best racial, 50% chance to ignore magic) to max endurance as quick as possible (max HP per level) and I used the one daedric artifact to lower my intelligence after it was 100 to boost luck, you can’t finish the thieves guild this way I think, worth it tho.

One tip: If you kill Foryn before starting the quest, you can still get the reward, and you get to keep the 200 gold on the tax collector's corpse.

Hard for me to play without abusing alchemy and spellcrafting

Although not a fair comparison, the overall early game experience of KOTOR was a lot more forgiving and far less confusing than Morrowind
More, More, More Please!
Morrowind is RESPONSIBLE for more broken space bars than ever. .. .. . . Like DOOM.
