    I didn’t appreciate it on my first play through, but the Cavern of the Incarnate is one of the most beautiful moments in the story for me.
    I really do feel reverence for the spirits there. They’re labelled as “failed incarnates” but each one of them played a role and tried to do their duty. I love reading their stories and feeling part of something important about both freedom and spirituality that has become as much myth as it is reality.
    The items they provide aren’t godkilling equipment, but they represent the humble journey of the Nerevarine and are a little slice of their own unique quests.
    I keep all those items in a little shrine in the corner of my my house. And I keep a unique save in the cavern so I can go there whenever I want.

    Just a tip
    If you can avoid the sleepers as much as possible and keep from killing them, they will be of benefit to you later.
    Also as much as possible try to max up your attributes when leveling up or you're in for some struggles down the road. Train up misc skills, that won't add to your progress for the next level but will contribute to multipliers.
    Maybe you know this already. But whenever I see people play Morrowind and not max out those multipliers I remember the struggle...

  • @roguenine9LU
    @roguenine9LU Місяць тому

    A couple things I always tried to do in my level ups is to put 1 point in to luck since it doesn’t ever get any bonus multipliers (one of my playthroughs I did a custom class specifically so I could start out with the highest possible luck) and to try to get a 5x multiplier on the other 2 attributes I was upgrading. It requires carefully planning which of your skills you train per level but one of the good things about sleeping to level up is that you can save before doing so then check to see what your multipliers are and go train some minor skills in the ones you want to use to raise them higher before doing so. One of the good things about Morrowwind is that can do unlimited training with NPCs per level and if there's an attribute in one the lower ranked skills that is also associated with a major skill it can be trained cheaply. So for example you can train heavy and medium armor to boost your endurance to improve spear usage.
    Note: I've only ever played the Xbox version of the game without the expansions so some of my experience is different (such as never having the Dark Brotherhood attack me) and it's also been a couple years since I played through so I might be misremembering some of the terminology.

    Maybe it helps: I think the mark and recall spell would be just what you'd like. You can set a waypoint with "Mark" basically everywhere, even indoors and return there whenever you want with "Recall". The only caveat is that you only can have one waypoint at a time and casting mark again overwrites it.

    Jumping around in this game is so stupidly fun lol, I'm glad you are enjoying that. Best travel system in any elder scrolls game, HAH! The funniest, anyway. Ah, we've all died to that a lot brother, no shame there hahaha. Loving the series bro, and it's good that you are using the magic crafting system some. Go Places is a great name lol.
    Improve your characters Acrobatics, it will significantly reduce your fall damage. It will give you a higher natural jump also, adding to the abilities of Go Places. Otherwise, for really high locations, I'd say craft yourself a levitate spell.
    You are doing very well bro, Morrowind is hard to get a hold of but it seems like you have the reigns firmly grasped.

    Charma's Breath is possibly a reference to Charmander, along with similar dungeon location names referencing Pokemon such as Marowak's Spine, Weepingbell Hall, and Kakuna Burial. In which case it could be 'char-ma', but I'd agree that within a Dunmeri language context, ch sounds at the start of a sentence are going to typically have a kh- sound, like with chimer, or the word chitin.

    in the balmora mages guild? I think? one of the mages guilds anyhow, you can make a spell I believe that combines the jumping effect and the slow fall effect into one cast so that you don’t have to use two different spells/scrolls, it’s the Tinurs Hoptoad spell I believe, you can combine it with a slow fall spell (edit: both the balmora mages guild and the Vivec mages guild sell the spells you need to make it, just make sure also that you don’t do like 100 points of jump with 100 points of slow fall or you sort of just hang in the air for a long time lol)

    hello man. I have to tell you something quite importnat about the game, unless you already heard that. Barerly anything scales with your level. There are pseudo-scaling, like on a higher level you will encounter stronger creatures, more gold from stuff, but it only goes upto lvl15. Everything else, doesnt scale with you, most creatures/npcs are fixed level, all quest rewards are fixed, most items you can find as loot are fixed, except for smuggler caverns, I am pretty sure they do scale. but outside from that, pretty much nothing scales with you. Oh yeah, and they arent called 'dust storms', these are actually blight storms. and the 6th house ash creatures are called: Ash slave, ash zombie(who is actually not a zombie), ash Ghoul(those things you call priests), ascended sleepers(the sload looking things) and ash vampires. Also dont worry about killing certain npcs down the line. Anothyer thing, there is a quest to prevent the ash zombie attacks, you will find it yourself ;)
