Morrowind

When does this get good? I have probably played 12+ hours cumulatively, right now I am investigating the dark brotherhood quest in Mournehold which I am starting to think is an expansion. I go to a new city and spend another 3 hours "sprinting" around npc to npc reading text, for them to send me to another npc to read more text. I finally encountered Thrud initiating his quest in the sewer, but after dying to the first enemies in the sewers from missing all of my hits with a dagger, even with 60 skilled with shortblade and full stamina, I am considering dropping here because it feels like a grind

That's why you should've disabled the expansion files in the launcher before you finished the main quest in vanilla. Or installed the mods that fix expansion triggering events.

What do I do now? I already have Thrud as a companion, I probably can't turn it off without at least completing his quest and leaving

>I probably can't turn it off without at least completing his quest and leaving
Well, try doing just that. If it doesn't work - you'll just have to deal with it. Can't really help you there, mate. I completely forgot what side quests in Tribunal even were about.

Join the Temple and start reading books, n'wah

>When does this get good
When you do

You started playing the expansion before the base game. You're going to want to start over again. and either uninstall it or downloading the tribunal delay fix

>uninstall
No need. Also, I don't think you can do that with the GOTY edition. You just untick the resource file in the launcher before starting a new game.

Drop that garbage and play Oblivion.

>a grind

its an rpg game
an actual rpg game, not oblivion or skyrim so you need to grind to an extent

basically how you play the game legit is
>silt strider to balmora
>join mages guild
>take balmora mages guild charter to caldera mages guild
>go upstairs in caldera mages guild
>steal alchemy set
>abuse alchemy to make a ton of gold selling potions to the creeper in caldera while buying the respawning ingredients from the cat in balmora mages guild
>go on uesp.net and see where your major skill trainers are at
>spend 500k on training for the ten major skills to level up
>get done training
>level 50 god and now that your governing attributes are maxed out you can just go and train everything under the sun

after that you do all of the side guild quests before starting the main quest, then go and do the mournhold/assassin quest, then finish bloodmoon in solstheim

if you pick major skills that have master trainers near by or accessible by mark/recall and charters then you can min max the game in like 5 hours and its a smooth ride from then on

honestly the game becomes too easy and broken when you understand how to play it

you can play the game without abusing alchemy, but in the end you will just be wasting time, in fact when you start doing this you will probably just wonder why you didnt cheat from the start

my honest advice is to just use the console to become a god and enjoy the games story
use uesp.net to search for anything you cant find or quests you get stuck on

Anybody that does this is a retard that doesnt understand the point of video games

I will never be like you, and I'm glad.

Morrowind is a challenging game. It's one of the last games that didn't really hold your hand. You went full retard and are doing the Tribunal expansion before even completing the main quest.

It's ok though, you can leave Mournhold as it is, go back to Morrowind and DO WHAT CASSIUS COSADES SAYS.

Go get a cover story, a role in Morrowind to cover for your true purpose as an Imperial Agent (blade).

Why are Morrowbabies such turbo autists?
>Oblivion and Skyrim aren't RPG, Morrowind is, that's why YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT LIKE THAT, because it becomes too easy and broken that way
Just kill yourself

OP, play Daggerfall, Oblivion and Skyrim, you'll have fun.

>abusing alchemy or cheating
gross
if your going to abuse alchemy atleast make yourself a true god with 5k strength and 50k int

You either need to go and funnel your gold into trainers or train yourself in this game, don't abuse alchemy like an autist but familiarizing yourself with it can't hurt

As for the DLC problem, I don't know what to say you seem to far in to go back now

>alchemy and consoles
pathetic. did vehk not teach you anything?

you use the construction set or CHIM to create yourself a castle made entirely of gold coins that fries your gpu instantly
next you create your own divine artifacts that boost your stats into an infinite loop which cannot be replicated with any alchemy abuse or console commands

and lastly, you create an entirely new main questline, in which, you are the numidium
>new medium
the gods
>godhead
and the ending of words
>almsivi

Underrated post

Just minmax

Do what everyone else does and jam the game full of mods until it's a giant fucking mess. Then have fun.
