Funny how I remember being hopeless at combat in the beginning when I played it before. This time around my hits are actually connecting.
You mean you're using weapon you're proficient with and don't fight winded?
:troll:

Which in turn reminds me of that dude who started game by running around (exhausting his fatigue in the process) then trying to stab that Altmer lady in SN on that little bridge where you exit the village. She punched him, knocking him out in one hit, so he fell into the puddle some half a meter below and drowned before he could get back up.

A comment on the page for Darknut's Armor Hi-Res Textures says someone made a mod that does what you want ( "I love these texture now if I could find those meshes made for these (some guy made compatible meshes for darknuts textures and better bodies)" ), but I couldn't find it.

Meanwhile, there's this.


Description
===========
This simple mod is a compilation of 3 different community-made add-ons:
- Baofu92's Detailed Armor
- AnOldFriend's Illuminated Armor
- Bahamut's Steel Armor Reflections
- Darknut's Armor Textures

Details
=======
What I did is edit the Detailed Armor meshes to include the reflections maps of Illuminated Armor and Steel Reflections. I also renamed all the meshes to make all pluginless and included Darknut's Armor Textures.
The only meshes that I left out of this are the cuirasses. I couldn't include them because the Detailed Armor meshes didn't have the bones attached to the armor model. In other words, they where buggy.
With this mod, the Indoril, Glass, Daedric, Adamantium and Steel armors will have reflections. And almost every armor in the game will have smoothed, nicer meshes and improved textures!

Give it a try! It's free~

Oddly enough, same long blade, same Nord, only last time I got killed by a kwama forager. The first enemy I met. Getting repeatedly paralysed might have been it, though.

In any case, :bro: to you cause it's entirely largely partly your fault I'm playing this again.

Unfortunatly Idiots will buy it anyway :decline: and moders will fix it like they did recently with Memory allocation bug; played Skyrim for 3 hours today in one session without CTD. :incline:


I really hope the Script Extender devs backport the fix to their other versions, I suspect that memory allocation issue has been the cause of CTD's all the way back to Morrowind.

Nah, unfortunately.

Yeah those are old, I delved deep into forgotten dungeons to find GCD Lean 2.04a, worked perfect for me. I can upload it to mediafire or something if you want to give that a shot.

So I tried to look for this version. Apparently this is the only place that still hosts it.

Yeah, that looks familiar. It's a shame modders are such princesses about MUH COPYRIGHTS (even extending to cover other people's work) - I bet plenty of people still have their stashes from elricm and other such sites that they could upload to nexusmods for everyone to enjoy.

:bro:
If I made a mod I would certainly allow uploading it anywhere people damn pleased provided it would be free to download and intact along with accompanying documentation.

Oh, and BTW:
Oddly enough, same long blade, same Nord, only last time I got killed by a kwama forager. The first enemy I met. Getting repeatedly paralysed might have been it, though.
:negative:
Will it help if I tell you that it wasn't a forager or enemy, but lowly, fragile, docile scrib Dunmer make jelly out of, that you attacked and it still raped your ass in retaliation?

My dad's bigger than your dad
I've never played Morrowind, but I might pick it up. I bought Oblivion yesterday, because it was on sale and I haven't played it for years. I love Oblivion. It's the only game I have platinumed. I cannot get into Skyrim. I've tried and tried but it's bullshit. The first problem I had with it was the character creation screen. They all looked like shit. That's a minor thing though. The real problem began when I got to the levelling up screen, what the fuck is that? I thought. Oh well. Then the first village where you meet whatever his name is. That guy who drones at you over the dinner table while his potato faced wife and kid walk into the fireplace.
So you have to go somewhere to tell some guy some shit. ok. Get to the next village which is a bit bigger. More bibble. Join these boring viking guys who seem permanently pissed off about something. Go kill some dude for them. Get some fuckin super powered sword or whatever. Then they tell you they're werewolves. Well duh. They act like it's a massive secret, but either they're totally retarded or every person in the village is, because it becomes pretty obvious after the first mission or so. Anyway, go do another fetch quest or whatever, kill some dudes in a cave, and suddenly, I'm queen of the fuckin woofs. Whut? Then a big ass dragon appears, whicb was pretty great until i fired a few arrows at it, and it died. Oh well. Go see the wizards. Go down a few caves, become queen of the Harrys. Go see the thieves. We need a super secret weapon. Aw fuck no. Quit to desktop. Another level 24 character written off. That's my Skyrim experience.

I hated oblivion, liked Skyrim with requiem. But Skyrim felt like a chore and a timesink more than an rpg. And that feeling grows the more time passes.

I didn't have many games on my backlog, so I tried out morrowind because of all the praise it gets here and in other places.

And holy shit do I love it. Not that it's a perfect rpg, but it's really just great to finally get that which I always wanted out of open world games and never had. It's just such a dramatic night and day change in quests and content. This is an actual real world. Sure it's a game so it still revolves around you and your player character, but you don't feel that.
Besides that, even without graphics mods the game has that gritty but not drab artstyle that I love. The combat is fun, and I don't miss all the time because I manage my stamina and use the weapons I am skilled at.

Skyrim and Oblivion seem like such a joke in comparison. Morrowind made me see even more how idiotically oversimplified those games are at the core fundamental level.

Oh lawd! Praise the all-mighty MHD, Akratus has seen the light. Please lawd accept this one into your flock as he now follows the one truth. May dicks strike hard and often upon his legs. Amen.
