Lopov: The snow is a nice change from the swamps and ash of Morrowind.

Fort Frostmoth does not stay in one piece for very long if you do Solstheim's main quest! laugh.gif It does not look much different than the Dragonborn version once the mq gets moving.

I thought beating someone with a severed limb was hilarious. It is a regular weapon too, so you can keep it and use it yourself!

I read up on the glacier bug, and you are right, it is a glitch in the distant land generation that happens if you use MGE (which I do). To fix it, there is a mod you can download that you have to select in the distant land generation, and create the distant land using it. But then of course if you start another character who has not done that particular quest yet, you have to run the distant land generation again without the mod. It just seems like more bother than it is worth, seeing that Persephone is done with Solstheim, at least in this game.



mirocu: You have to make sure you get all the animal entries. The bears and wolves are leveled, so there are 5 or 6 actors for each. The most powerful are named things like Blight Wolf, etc... which make them sound diseased or mutated. But they are just regular animals with higher stats. You also need to give the world time to reset after you activate it. I went inside a barrow and waited for 73 hours. After that your changes will work.


Acadian: I modded the weather of Dragonborn's Solstheim to eliminate the ash storms and bleak skies. So it always has an icy blue sky and polar sun. That makes it more appealing than the Morrowind version to me.

It was neat to fight the Unidentified Mutton's son, and to meet Svenja Snowsong. both bring back memories of Dive Rock.


Inside the Ghostfence

Red Mountain ruins

Persephone plumbs the secrets of Red Mountain

Persephone plans to give the dreamer a long dirt nap...



Persephone is back in Vvardenfell, and exploring the Ashlands north of Red Mountain. While plumbing the depths of the old Dunmer fortress Kogrun, she found a tunnel that led to the inside of the Ghost Fence. I found it once with a previous character who looked around briefly, then went back to the 'safe' side of Red Mountain. But Persephone decided to go exploring instead, and tackled a few dwarven ruins and a Daedric Shrine before using her boots to levitate over the Ghost Fence and return to the Ashlands.

Her time in the gladiator school of Solstheim also seems to have toughened her up. Ever since returning to Vvardenfell she has been racking ass. She kills most baddies with one hit of Umbra. Only a few rare bosses are still standing after two hits, and not for long. It is funny that I have been reading the Elric books lately too. I sometimes want to shout "Blood and souls for Lord Arioch!" biggrin.gif

That bleak Ghostfence background really highlights how spectacular PerseWind looks.

I love the mysterious towering spires of those ruins.

Dreamer? At first I thought it said Dwemer. Lol. Who is the dreamer?

Sounds like she is having fun exploring Morrowind, and those boots of levitation sound wonderfully helpful.

Acadian: I love how the Dwemer ruins look from the outside too. With the crooked towers and peaked roofs. They are not much to look at inside though. Nothing really is in this game. kvright.gif

The Dreamer is the Big Bad in Morrowind. Red Mountain is his lair. He also has numerous Ash creatures called Dreamers, Ascended Sleepers, etc...

Such a liar...

Persephone is ready for the Porn Hub!

Kind of a haunting, if somewhat bleak, nightscape of the ashlands.

I love that levitation spell and the lavender rings beneath Persephone’s feet make her look like Judy Jetson. tongue.gif

Bonehead can’t even figure out how to get past the door?

Yay! Darryl!

M’aiq! Oh my goodness. It shouldn’t surprise me to see him in MW.

The fiery aura coming up from beneath Persephone looks very neat.

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Aug 21 2016, 07:14 PM) *

mALX: I did not even realize that Bagarn gives you a pair of levitating boots. Persephone has not been doing the main quest, and the last time I did was years ago. So I forgot all about it.

No worries, no Vilja here!

I love the water in Morrowind. It looks great from the surface, and does not get all green or foggy underwater (unless I changed that with a mod/.ini tweak and forgot!).

That big arch is on top of one of the barrows. It is the one with the young Skaal warrior who wants your help to kill a draugr. Persephone agreed to be a punching bag for him.

The moose were added by a mod. Guess who created it! smile.gif

The horker are friendly. I think they are the only vanilla animals on the island that don't attack you on sight. The waters around Solstheim are filled with them.


Darkness Eternal: The first time I ever saw a Grahl was in Treydog's Bloodmoon fan fic. They are a creepy monster, just undone by the age (and dated graphics) of the game they are in.

I have been having fun with Morrowind this time around. I have not touched it in years. The game has a lot of things I do not like. But now that I know about them, they don't bother me so much. I don't have any unrealistic expectations now, like I did the first time I played it years ago.


Persephone found a crashed airship

On deck

Teaming up with a draugr

Battling Grendel The Uderfrykte

Luke didn't make it...

The hall of the Frost Giant

Facing off with King Karstagg

Persephone is the Ice Queen now

Werewolf

Hircine the Hunter



With the defeat of Hircine, Solstheim is once again back to normal. Well, what passes for it anyway. I ran into a few bugs afterward. The first was that something weird happened with Mortrag Glacier. I am guessing that the final battle with Hircine and his wolves was inside it. Because afterward it collapsed. But the old mesh of the intact glacier was still there, kind of. It was sort of half invisible, and I could walk through it. I am guessing it was supposed to be removed, but it didn't quite work out that way.

The other was Captain Carius. He was alive at the end of the first maze. So he is supposed to survive the endgame. When Persephone returned to Fort Frostmoth some of the legionaries said he had returned and he was in his office. But when I went there, there was no sign of him. OTOH, other legionaries just said there has been no sign of him since he disappeared. So something weird happened there.

All in all I prefer Solstheim in Skyrim. Not only is the landscape more interesting and varied, but the monster population is not as insanely dense. In Bloodmoon there is often a monster every twenty feet in every direction. You cannot fight one without the other nearby ones getting pulled in. And don't even think of trying to run or maneuver, because you will pull in even more monsters from nearby! That is why I often describe it as a gladiator school. It is a non-stop conveyer belt of combat. Even after I modded the game to make the bears and wolves friendly, I was still fighting constantly whenever I tried to walk around.

And the Rieklings! The ones on foot were no big deal. But the mounted ones all Reflect magic. That includes the magic effects of weapons. So you have to carry around a non-magical weapon to fight them with. that made killing them take forever, in an endless grind of button mashing until they were dead. I cannot imagine how bad it must be for mage characters to face them, since spells are useless. The same is true of the boss Riekling/Frost Giant Karstagg. I got so sick of it that I made a mod that removed the spell reflection from them.





Omg, our own Pseron Wyrd!!!! I never knew he made Morrowind mods !!! that is Awesome !!!


Aw geez, the crashed anomaly airship with the dead alien ashlander nearby! Did you find any alien ammo arrows nearby? Bwaahaa!


Another Darryl? Is this a follower or do you have her set in the "draugr faction?"

That is one scary looking Uderfryke with those fangs! Urgh!


Bwaahaa! I don't know the story behind the quest, but Luke looks like he opted for the soft landing from a high fall, lol. (still dying but without the sudden impact)


The "Hall of the Frost Giant" is spectacular! Morrowind was a bit back and forth with their graphics; some of them so breathtaking and others don't feel like the same game sometimes! But this one is one of their better times, really gorgeous!

Urgh, and they did a huge job on the frost giant himself! He looks just horrible; scary; terrifying!!! They did a great job on him! Was Persephone scared? How hard was the fight?

That throne is enormous! Urk, is that Ice King droppings in front of the throne?

Oh wow, I would have expected the werewolf to be bigger than the Player or NPC's!


Hircine looks scary as hell! Holy Crap!!!


Awesome Shots !!!!


It is a shame when developers don't know when "enough is enough" on spawning enemies. Once gameplay ceases to be fun I have a hard time slogging my way through. And having them reflect magic off your swords is a bit excessive too when they have hugely high hit points and the combat is as sluggish and awkward as Morrowind's combat system is. So glad they made the games mod-able to save it! (although I had a lot of trouble modding Morrowind.)

Really enjoyed this update!

Oooh, now you are taking! Red Mountain here we come!!!!

The Red Mountain ruins are spectacular! Kudos to Bethesda on their job on this place; just Awesome!!!

This is like seeing an Oblivion realm for the first time!


I haven't heard about the "Dreamer" before, gaaaah! Scary little note on the floor there! And BWAAHAA = Persephone giving him a dirt nap!!! I would have sprayed my drink if I'd had a sip in my mouth reading that caption, laugh.gif

I'll bet she will !!!


Awesome shots !!!! I am hugely enjoying seeing Persephone in Morrowind - so many places I never got to see in that game!


That is so interesting about the tunnel !!! That is Awesome !!!! I love secret passages that really give you a reward for finding them, and wonder if those ruins she found there would have been inaccessible had she not found that passage?

Really cool she was able to levitate out of there! She should have used those boots to get her past the bad guys in Solstheim - but then again, maybe not since it toughened her up so well!

Awesome update !!!

Oh, the Dreamer is Dagoth-Ur? Why didn't I know that? I must have forgotten it!

The Ashlands at night is hauntingly beautiful; kind of like the DC Wasteland at night! Fantastic shot!


Persephone's traveling high! laugh.gif


Urk, those Bonelords give me the creeps !!!


Persephone looks Awesome here, but Darryl...and what the heck is that thing jumping down on Darryl from behind?


That is Maiq? Holy Cow, he doesn't even look feline!


This last shot of Persephone is Awesome! She is so pretty for Morrowind characters!!!!

Great shots !!!

The Bonelord got stuck because of its bone!

I've never found M'aiq on Vvardenfell. Yet.

Darryl would definitely win the Undead Hot or Not contest.

Thanks to Divines for levitation so SubRosa can make great panoramic shots.

Acadian: Buzz Aldrin's observation about the Moon is what comes to my mind when I look at the Ashlands: "Magnificent Desolation".

As long as Darryl doesn't look like the Uniblab!

I had forgotten all about Maiq, until I stumbled across him by accident. I think Morrowind was the fist game he was in. But I could be wrong.


mALX: That was another Draugr indeed. He is a former sorcerer living under the big lake on Solstheim. You can team up with him to stop a daedra attack on the island.

The Frost Giant was extremely difficult to fight. I had to run up, hit him a few times, then run away to heal. Then do it all over again and again. If he got more than a few hits in at a time it would kill Persephone.

The werewolves do not look very big. They are seriously overpowered, to the point of being cheaty. I did not like them much.

I think Dagoth Ur is The Dreamer. But the place I took that pic with the "Dreamer awakens" graffiti also had an Ascended Sleeper in it. So it could have been something it had written about itself.


Lopov: Maiq is in the Sheogorod region, on an island in the very north-east. So is not easy to find.

The dated graphics of Morrowind do not leave much for screenshots. But I think the panoramic landscapes still often look good, especially at twilight.



A netch

Sadrith Mora sunset

The coast of the Grazelands, Red Mountain looms in the background

Azura's Coast

Azura's Shrine

The Mistress of Twilight



After her brief sojurn inside the Ghostfence, in which she gained Sunder, Persephone went down to happier lands. She explored all of the Grazelands, and the Televanni islands east of them. She is now going through the last of Azura's Coast, west of Azura's Shrine.

I read that you have to acquire Sunder and Keening and use them to defeat Dagoth Ur. I am not sure if your skill in them matters or not. But just to be sure Persephone trained up her Blunt Weapons and Short Blade skills to 100 each. The unrestricted training in this game can get ridiculous.

Wow, you are really making Morrowind look great! And PersePics are even more fun now that we have more of her backstory from you in another thread. Gosh, levitation looks like such fun. Aww, Buffy's godmother, by Azura!

Great landscape shots, the one of Sadrith Mora is my favorite. Morrowind is so much more beautiful without its native fog.

From what I recall, you don't need to be proficient in any particular skill to use Sunder & Keening, at least not during the final battle. But is she able to wield both weapons? I think at least one of them can't be held unless you carry some specific gauntlet.

Acadian: Levitation is a lot of fun, and very handy. They obviously expected people to use it a lot, because all the mountain peaks have monsters roaming them, and you can only get there by levitating.


Lopov: I always hated the fog, it is one of the things that made me quit playing Morrowind the first time I tried it. Thank goodness for MGE.

You can hold Sunder and Keening, but you take a lot of damage every second you do. Unless you wear Wraithguard. It protects you from dying when you hold them. You can get it from either Vivec or Yagram.



"No, I don't have any Ancestor Statues, why do you ask?"

Ashlands

Dwemer Ruins

Lava Lake

Vivec City

Persephone slays her first False God

Red Mountain awaits

One of Kragenac's Tools slumbers within

Keening is now Persephone's

Climbing Red Mountain

Dagoth-Ur

Dagoth Ur

"Join you and we'll rule the galaxy as father and son?"

Time to open a can of whoop ass

Persephone has a can named Sunder

Lorkhan's Heart

Severing Dagoth Ur's connection to the Heart

Dagoth and his giant mecha are destroyed

Back to the light

A new dawn for Morrowind


As the pics show, Persephone has slain both Vivec and Dagoth Ur. I used the console to move the main quest along so that I could skip to the final showdown. I have done most of the MQ before with another character, and it just gets too tedious for me. Besides, in Persephone's official history she is not the Nerevarine. Though if I do write the story I have in mind, she was his sidekick. But that is another tale.

This comes on the heels of exploring all of Vvardenfell. Of course she already finished exploring all of Solstheim a while ago. With that the original game and Bloodmoon are finished. All that remains is the Tribunal expansion. I am not sure if I want to do it though. As satisfying as killing another god might be, I am getting a little tired of Morrowind.

Ashlands, Deadlands – hey, it’s all lava. tongue.gif

Dwemer Ruins is a great shot, showcasing the spires of both architecture and surrounding rocks. goodjob.gif

False God is hilarious. The look on his face is priceless and I can just imagine what he’s thinking in the little (looks like) thought bubble above his head. Would be a great candidate for the ‘Caption This’ thread! laugh.gif

New Dawn is a classic and classy Persephone shot. Can only imagine what the dead girl’s thinking as the sun comes up. happy.gif

Umbacano certainly progressed fast - from a common mage working in a mine to one of the richest persons in Cyrodiil in just a few years. wink.gif

Persephone the Killer of Gods. Vivec definitely has a surprised expression on his face.

Dagoth Ur faced Persephone in nothing but his loincloth, I bet he thought she'd fall for his ripped belly.

Congratulations on killing Mr Ur and bringing light to Vvardenfell.

I hope she completes Tribunal too at some point. From what I recall, it has a captivating story though my favorite wasn't the main one but the one where you have to find out who's behind assassination attempts at your character.

Was she in Kogoruhn? That is most def Sixth House. And I might not remember whether it was Dagoth-Ur who was known as "The Dreamer," but I do remember that he said the Sixth House would rise again; and there is some lorebook in game that talks about how the children who survived the original sacking of the Sixth House were taken in and raised by the other houses - and that they all had similar dreams as they were growing up and heard a song when they slept that was the call to their heritage (whether they knew it or not) so they would kind of "find each other" through the dreams and song and rebuild the Sixth House.

Can you tell it has always fascinated me? rollinglaugh.gif


I did a piece on it for some writing contest over at the Official Bethesda forums called, "The Rise of Dagoth" = so yeah, I agree with you (now that I remember a bit about it) that Dagoth-Ur would have been the one they were referring to.

It (that phrase) was written in places in the game; all of them dungeons. One of the other writings is in Latin, and one in Daedric and written in blood; and in one of the three places you can also find the Sixth House symbol; but I can't remember which one.

I just love anything to do with the Sixth House, I think it is one of the greatest creations Bethesda put into the Elder Scrolls - it never ends, never has to end because Dagoth-Ur proved they could rise again - and would!


That Netch is amazing!!! It looks so much more graphicly perfect than so many other creatures in the game! I do love the Betty Netches in ESO (actually my first time seeing a Netch!)

I LOVE the sunset shot; not because of the beautiful sky or land backdrop, but because Persephone is THAT HIGH UP IN THE SKY for the screenshot !!!!!!!!!!! Aren't those levitations timed? Won't she fall? I absolutely LOVE that she is up there like that !!!!!!!


Beautiful area! And Red Mountain in the background; but look in the foreground !!!! A Dunmer Stronghold !!!!! Which is it?

Azura's coast looks amazing, that water looks like it is rolling!

Have to love Azura !!!!

Awesome Shots !!!

Acadian: I really liked the Ashlands in Morrowind. They have a desolate beauty, in the way a desert landscape does (something I am sure you can relate to).

The Dwemer Ruins changed a bit from Morrowind to Skyrim. in MW they have tall, slender towers that tilt all over the place, topped with graceful curved roofs with sharply pointed spires. They look very much like fantasy castles that have fallen on hard times. Where in Sky they are big, thick towers with low, rounded domes. Very Byzantine looking. I think I liked the design of the MW version better.

I think it did come as a surprise to Vivec. In their conversation Persephone agreed to everything he said. In fact, she had even done some of the things he wanted her to. But apparently he never calculated that Dagoth Ur was not the only False God on the Living Dead Girl's hit list.

New Dawn was such a perfect image. The moment I saw it I knew I had to take a picture of that.


Lopov: I guess Umbacano made his fortune by robbing the glass mine he was in! laugh.gif

Vivec should have seen it coming. Persephone does not have the most amicable history with elves. Especially not ones who steal power from Shor/Lorkhan and pretend to be gods. She fought beside Pelinal Whitestrake after all, a real Shezarine. She knows both the wonder and horror that Shor's power brings all too well.

Dagoth should have brought at least a 12 pack, or a keg! laugh.gif I think he is wearing a mask too though. At least I hope that is a golden mask, and not what his head really looks like! ohmy.gif

It would be nice to complete Tribunal as well, and put a cap on the whole Morrowind experience. But I am just too burned out on that game right now. But I will probably get back to it someday.


mALX: Persephone did clean out Kogoruhn at some point. Her first time behind the GhostFence was from following its tunnels. That might be the place where the "Sleeper has awakened" writing was from.

Persephone no longer relies on levitation spells. She found the Boots of the Apostle early on, which made life in Morrowland much easier.

I think that stronghold in the Grazelands pic was Indoranyan. But I am not positive.

Morrowind has my favorite water in the ES games. I love how the surface rolls.

Acadian: Levitation is a lot of fun, and very handy. They obviously expected people to use it a lot, because all the mountain peaks have monsters roaming them, and you can only get there by levitating.


Lopov: I always hated the fog, it is one of the things that made me quit playing Morrowind the first time I tried it. Thank goodness for MGE.

You can hold Sunder and Keening, but you take a lot of damage every second you do. Unless you wear Wraithguard. It protects you from dying when you hold them. You can get it from either Vivec or Yagram.

A new dawn for Morrowind


As the pics show, Persephone has slain both Vivec and Dagoth Ur. I used the console to move the main quest along so that I could skip to the final showdown. I have done most of the MQ before with another character, and it just gets too tedious for me. Besides, in Persephone's official history she is not the Nerevarine. Though if I do write the story I have in mind, she was his sidekick. But that is another tale.

This comes on the heels of exploring all of Vvardenfell. Of course she already finished exploring all of Solstheim a while ago. With that the original game and Bloodmoon are finished. All that remains is the Tribunal expansion. I am not sure if I want to do it though. As satisfying as killing another god might be, I am getting a little tired of Morrowind.



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BwaaHaa! Umbacano!!!!

These next few shots really struck me, because when this game first came out it was a pioneer in great graphics, and now looking at these it kind of reminds me how far we have come in this past decade - but Morrowind did have some awesome graphics, I think they just don't photograph as well as they look in game; especially when taking distance shots - it is a shame, too; because it doesn't even begin to represent the feel of seeing Morrowind and being in it.

Wow, I never made it to Vivec Ci...GAAAAAAH!!!!! You killed Vivec? GAAAAAH!

This Red Mountain shot is Awesome !!!

And then they have some great graphics like these!!! Ooh, Keening!!!!

Dagoth-Ur !!!! WOO HOO !!!!! I'm dying to know what he looks like behind the mask, did you get to?

And the Numidium - freaky looking!!!!!


Holy Cow!!!! I've seen vids, but never seen screens of the confrontation with Ur!!! These are amazing!!!! THIS is when the quest writers were at their best, this and the Arena storyline - I didn't find the same thrill at all in the main questline of Skyrim, sad to say.


It is really hard to say this, especially with screens of Persephone battling Dagoth-Ur; the Heart of Lorkhan; etc. = but the shot of Persephone at the end in "A new dawn" - I can't believe that is my favorite shot!!!! Why = There was a real feeling in that shot of just coming out the other side of a tremendous battle she almost didn't survive; having come through and being able to look at the realm that will be forever changed (for the good) by it. That comes through in that screen. Has to be my favorite!

Awesome, AWESOME shots!!! This whole set goes amongst my top favorite screens of all in your thread !!!

Well! Hi again. Months ago I'd hoped to be adding updates on my Skyrim characters Warm Waters and Gorlash and my necromancer... So many characters! However my Laptop is still in the shop (since February or March) and after hearing Fallout 4 will not be getting mods for the PS4 (the only system I have that will run the damned game) a familiar itch has started up. An itch than manifested in a need to return to Tamirel~

Now, I'll admit, my original idea was to play Oblivion and return to one of my fav Xbox games only, you know, on the PC. I however have made a COLOSSAL mess of that game file trying to mod it. Well. Not colossal. But there are a lot of missing meshes with Better Cities and the guards are floating bald heads carrying error signs and... Its a mess. SO! Next in line.. Morrowind, my old love! I've spent the last few hours modding it a little. Adding in stuff like Better Bodies and Heads, a Needs mod.. Better clothing n Armor. The Official Plugins.. All that nice stuff and now? Now I would like to introduce Morana Wolfblood my Nordic Mercenary gal. First night in Morrowind and shes already murdered some smugglers, bought herself some gear, and is ready to pick up where she left off before the Imperials snatched her up and tossed her in jail.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
