Hobbies and Collections of Morrowind :)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.morrowind (More info?)

I would love to know what sort of *hobbies* players have taken up on
Morrowind, Tribunal and Bloodmoon- for myself I collected blue (for a better
light) candles (ahem filched whilst getting my sneak stats up ) and
decorated a nice cave in the Bitter Coast Region to come back to with my
goodies.

I also set out to discover all the underground waterfalls that I could- not
particularly interesting but they make for nice screen shots sunsets on
Bloodmoon can be magnificient.

So.............. any unusual (or otherwise) collections or hobbies out
there?

I learned the construction set so that I could set up a proper museum
for all those arms and armor I've collected. Trying to get full
male/female sets of everything takes lots of time. There's an immense
variety of Imperial and Nord armor in this game.

I'm tempted to start on Clothing.

I once saw a post here from someone saying that he was collecting pillows!
And making a roof-to-roof pillow bridge in balmora!!

One I was attempting to kill every npc in the game, leaving their naked
(well naked for Morrowind) corpses scattered all about. And not with any
of that taunting shite either.... full on, get 'em when they don't
expect it, take 'em all on berserker killing. Very cathartic, might go
back to that. Another is to kill as many Dark Brotherhood assassins
as I can and sell the armor, thus dressing as many merchants as I can
manage in DB armor. Excess suits are arranged on the ground, floor or on
beds all over Vardenfell as they would appear if worn, with a weapon and
usually with a stoneflower placed atop the cuirass. Don't know
why...just seemed like a plan.

I like to collect permanent lights/torches/candles and arrange
them on and around whatever house I am using for "mine". This lights
them up like luminaria do around Christmas. Very pretty--especially
at night. I've also taken to putting lights around the dark corners
of Balmora and the Foreign Quarter ramps in Vivec (so I can see on
dark nights).

Some of my characters like to collect vampire ash....

Since money is completely worthless on this game, I like to collect all the
high priced items I can. I currently have Three Ebony spears, that really
good heavy chestplate w/ 100%fire resist demonic chestplate(190k) or
somethin, ebony longsword (20k) woe sword, bow of shadows (42k) fang of
haynekaut(60k) ebony shortsword(42k) and a whole bunch of other completely
useless gunk. two or three golden saint trapped souls that I have no idea
what to do with are just rotting in my invetory.bunches of misc. robes,
belts, amulets, rings, are being used for decoration over my house. I find
that the shinyness of the magic can make neat designs on my floor. musical
instruments gather dust atop my dresser, where they can be quickly accessed
if I feel the urge to play. basically I am just a big item whore.

Never tried that but DEFINITELY tried to kill every Ordinator in
Vivec.

Often I end up collecting named souls. Staada, the Dagoths, and any other
named creature. All down to the giant bull netch from the spear of bitter
mercy quest.

That particular one's easy since you can go to Whitehaven in Balmora
and (assuming you have enough $$$) buy and sell vampire dust till you
get her up to 100+ units available for sale. I do that occasionally
since I have absurd amounts of gold and want to offload some of those
'super-potions' I've made - the ones that go for 5000 gold apiece or
more. (I'd have to check but so far 16000 I think has been my most
valuable potion I've made - it was something like Restore Health 2000
points for 500+ seconds which still doesn't save you if you get jumped
from behind by a Dagoth or equivalent nasty)

My most extreme potion was a Fortify Intelligence 27000 points and my
most useless a Fortify Speed 19000 points since that fast makes the
game completely unplayable.

Extreme light is pretty useless either as potion or spell as it stays
in one place. Extreme night eye (e.g. 2000 pts for 2000 seconds or
better) on the other hand is pretty handy and not at all useless for
the cave divers among you.

As for 'days to wear off' - yep - I've gotten into the habit of
hanging around a certain Scamp for days on end to get rid of the spell
effect since you can wait up to 24 hours at a time with zero fear of
getting attacked.

This is probably about the 4th or 5th time I've explained but here
goes:

Go to the Imperial Cult in Sadrith Mora and buy about 100 units each
of Ash Yam and Bloat. Then make Fortify Intelligence potions and every
10 or so attempts drink whatever you've made. That makes each new
potion more powerful than the previous. When you've tried to make 100
potions your intelligence should be fortified to an obscene level and
you should have raised your alchemy skill (and thus intelligence next
time you level up) considerably.

If you do this when your alchemy skill is 50+ you're successful nearly
all the time and the last 20 or so potions you make are obscenely
powerful. At this point you make whatever other potions you have
ingredients for as they're much more powerful as well.

Using this method I've gotten my intelligence into the 400,000 range
and produced potions that have book values of 16000+. I try not to do
the "Sir Mix-a-lot" routine more than 2 or 3 times a game as things
can get unbalanced - though it IS a good method for building up your
early game cash - being downstairs from the SM Mage Guild it makes it
an easy trip to Caldera...

spoon in Morrowind.*

I remember that I recall he took the jabs and laughter in very good
spirit too. Great guy. I have been collecting every candle, lamp and
lantern I can actually take (one way or another!) and spirit it to
Mudcrabs island, henceforth named the Isle of Light! Well, it's
hard to miss in the dark

I collected cok.. i mean moon sugar in my last game of Morrowind. I
had over 170 units of the stuff by the end of the game and that was
with missing the cache at the Dren Plantation. I'm sure there's
plenty more out there but i was always impressed with the sheer
amount. I'm currently playing through the game again with a thief
character and the two expansions installed. I also have the Kanet
Ranch house mod active. There's a pot over a fireplace in the Kanet
Ranch and that's where i'm storing my current collection of moon
sugar. The fire keeps the crack cocaine in optimal condition. I'm
going to swallow my collection before taking on Dagoth Ur and finish
it off with a few swigs of skooma -hopefully i don't OD in the
process.

In one previous game I seriously attempted to collect every
candlestick in Morrowind - stopped trying after about 150 of
them...but still collected the first of any new candlestick I found -
there are about 10 of them.

I wouldn't do that - I took ONE a while back and it made my game
unplayable as I was speeded up so high...

Thanks Mark! It's simple and quite effective a place to post screenies
of MW!

http://www.cuneo.us/tesmw/browse.php?dir=McG.

From lower file numbers to higher, somewhat of a progression over time
of the appearance of my little Isle of Light (formerly known as Mudcrab
Island ).

I think there are still plenty of candles and lanterns to be found. But
I do wonder if I'll be able to place them all in one location. The
Temple Courtyard at Ald Ruhn is fairly overrun with my stuff. Once upon
a time I kept it orderly. Now though, with all the huge finds I've
taken to just piling the stuff up when I Recall in. Organics are kept
against the outer wall outside the courtyard. And things are getting
very choppy performance wise at both locations now.

But the Isle of Light has been my private hobby in Morrowind

If you put in a few containers-- closets, chests, shelves or whatever
might be appropriate, it might be more convenient.

Dunno, been at this over 2 years now, just want to do MyThing with only
official mods. Later, I'll try everything in sight
