Skyrim : *doing absolutely nothing* : "Wow you're the Dragonborn from my childhood tales !" Morrowind : *saving the World* : "You talk too much oultander."
I didn't play Morrowind, but it seems from the RP perspective that neither situations are good? Close to none world reactivity and low player agency in both cases?
@@Vasiliy9hells In Morrowind there is world reputation system, plus faction (belonging and which rank) reputation, value of clothes and armor you wear, where you are in main quest, personality attribute and speechcraft skill which all factor in greetings and disposition in dialogue. So as you play you go from "We are watching you scum" and "Go away" to "So good to see you", etc.
@@Vasiliy9hells nah nah this is just with a few npcs like not every faction was supporting the neverarine they just werent openly hostile either , like the high elves in skyrim there never chill .
well, most characters/npcs in Skyrim won't acknowledge you saved the world, or anything you do. while in morrowind most npcs have a line of dialogue acknowledging you as the Nerevarine when you talk to them.
I loved that you could get away with murder by simply stating that your opponents partner had a harlot for a mother which would then provoke him to attack you first
This is actually pretty accurate because as far as Morrowind goes the game mechanics pretty much allow you to become basically the Homelander of that World.
"Who are you? Am I supposed to care? I don't care if you're the Living God walking among us. Oh. So. You're the Nerevarine? Well, that means nothing to me, f'lah. I don't care if you're the damn Emperor himself. Go away."
It doesn't work on a lot of npcs mostly Camonna Tong ones. They acknowledge that you are Nerevarine but no change in disposition happens. Tested it a few times in my vanilla game with Morrowind code patch lol
You could be the quiet swordsman who comes into the tavern and silently sits at a corner table, and the bartender would tell you that you talk too much.
I love the "awswaswaswaswa" line in Morrowind. It really means absolutely nothing, they are just doing it because they know it pisses you off knowing they are mumbling about you in your back.
I wasn't the only what to think that. That always was the sliver in my Toe in Morrowind. Some times some NPC's will say somethings, but some other's will not give a f$u%$
Besides, I'm the Nerevarine, right? What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mer.. Oh, sorry, that's not my line...😊
@@wwq-l6x Dude, I despise tribunal as much as the next guy, but what Ur wanted was to mentally enslave every weak willed Dunmer on vvanderfell, connect them to the heart to make them immortal flesh hulks, and use blight and literal meat waves to enslave the whole world. Even the most ardent cammona tong member would choose empire if they knew who they were really helping with all that ash statue smuggling.
Power-levelling illusion and mercantile raises my personality stat, so I only usually run into this problem early. The latter skill becomes necessary thanks to an economy rebalance mod I'm using which generally increases pruchase prices, decreases sale prices, and removes the gold from Creeper and the mudcrab merchant.
Making the game harder to break is very smart. The systems shine best when you're forced to improvise with them. By default any play outside of the most mundane actions is like a bypass of everything in TES games. It'd be a lot cooler if more of the adventure called for it.
This isn't really accurate. If you're a Dunmer, you will have a reasonably good disposition with most Dunmer NPCs at Level 1. By the time you complete the main quest, everyone will love you. You'd have to have a really bad Personality or Speechcraft for that to be different.
NOT ACCURATE Playing as a dunmer/Dark elf will actually make most dark elves trust you more, therefor they dont use this untrusting dialog when around someone they like, when you become hortator and eventually save vardenfell there is a substantial amount of dark elves and npc's in general who have muuuch higher disposition with you. Again which would not lead to them being rude, a dark elf fulfilled nereverine would never be talked to like this even in the vanilla game. If you were literally any other race, this could happen, especially with these unimportant npc's on top of the corner club, they especially usually dont care if your nereverine or not.
You started your post with caps locked “NOT ACCURATE” and in your last paragraph explained why this exact scenario is, in fact, accurate, because CT will not have a disposition boost if you are nerevarine.
@@max7971 They would have slightly above natural disposition around 60, which would definitely not trigger these voice lines, and instead positive ones. Almost all NPC's in Vardenfell will have higher disposition with you for being nereverine, AS WELL as when your wearing all your cool gear or nice clothes you've most likely acquired, as it would take you taking that off to roleplay, and even THEN they will have higher disposition, on top of the neutral disposition you start with for simply also being dunmer. I sited these corner club rooftop NPC's to not care about the nereverine status, because there unaffiliated with any of the houses, and specifically refuse to do so, lore wise, but they WILL react to you being a fellow dunmer and your quality equipment. This would never happen in game. What are YOU talking about? I apparently contradicted my own statement? N'wah
