I never liked robes. They just look inherently goofy on non-mage characters, like charging screaming into the fray or running from guards down the alleyways with your skirt flapping about and being a tripping hazard and potentially getting stuck in things. Realistically speaking, no warrior or thief would ever put them on. And from aesthetic standpoint, I'd just prefer to see my armor most of the time. Yet there's no reason not to have a robe: it's another enchantment slot. Anything you know anywhere around that might fix this? Put some combat penalties in them, or replace them with something else in the same slot, like scarves?

I used to have one of those fancy (and often glitchy, barely functioning) music systems that would play something different depending on the region and threat. It had poached pretty much everything from Daggerfall, and also employed a fair few Throne of Bhaal tracks in Vivec and with boss fights. But there's one track - probably the very best one - that I couldn't trace down from anywhere. It was called MolAm_2, and as the name indicates, it played in the Molag Amur region. It alternated between creepy and melancholic and burned itself into my memory forever. It now only exists in my Roll20 game, because I wanted to use it for desert sections, let my players enjoy it as well. Roll20 doesn't seem to allow re-downloading anything uploaded in there, so I can't even attach the file here to let the rest of you listen. Now on the cusp of returning to Morrowind after many years of break, this old mystery rears its ugly head. I've decided to get to the bottom of it. But I can't even 100% remember the name of the mod it used, and though I've downloaded several of the music mods to open up and give a look, I can't find it anymore. And even if I could find it, I still wouldn't know its true and ultimate source. Can you help me in my search?

I do use Enhanced Economy. I may have to give the hardcore settings a try.

I've got Basic Primary Needs, and the money spent on the stuff is almost nil. I buy a lot of bread and cheese for my alchemy anyway.

I've fully upgraded all my castles and lairs and bought every house in every town, so what else is there to do with all this money? I'm getting outrageously wealthy and it no longer means anything because I've got nothing left to use it on. I'm in the process of buying all the special items from all the merchants, and that's not going to last long either. Anything out there that'd give me a whole bunch of dumb stuff to buy?

I like all these inspiring quotes I get to hear whenever I grow stronger, but I think they stop too early: a significant chunk of my playthrough - perhaps even most of it - is spent above level 21, so the one last message I keep getting over and over quickly grows tiresome, and it feels like there should have been more. Also, for a reason I haven't quite figured out yet, from time to time I level down. It's some mod that does it, but I'm not sure why. That's beside the point right now. The point is, even when I level down, I get the usual cheery jingle and the same old quote about getting better, even though I've gotten objectively worse instead. So it would be nice if you had some level-down messages as well, perhaps a little womp-womp tune to go with it. Any mods anywhere already existing that would scratch this particular itch?

I'm pretty far in on a game right now and so can't give this one a try just yet, but it sounds like a pretty crazy hardcore thing and something I'll want to give a shot at sooner or later. How's compatibility, though? I do happen to like some of those other unlevelled mods, for a bunch of the other things they like to do - Ascension especially skirts pretty close to vanilla itself - and as such I wonder how their leveled lists would conflict with yours. Does your mod in essence create its own leveled lists, or does it nullify them altogether? You could also consider taking a page out of Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul, and place the more powerful monsters and better loot farther away from the cities. It'll be a slight bit more realistic and encourage exploration farther afield.

Nah, I just emptied every field on the left, manually. Didn't even notice the red cross icon at first. So tiny, up there. Did it as you did, and now everything runs fine. I'm hearing a lot more music - probably all of it, but it'll take a while to be sure because there is quite a bit. Case closed. Thanks for the help.

Here's the full sequence of events: I did Untaxing the Poor, and during it, took a bit of a sip out of Lex. He woke up and got a bit pissy about it. I ran away, made it back to Armand, paid off the bounty, then went off to do the Order of the Virtuous Blood in the Memorial Cave. Killed the vampires, before I noticed something in my Night-Eye. Did I miss one? Nope, it was Lex. I don't know at what point he showed up, or why. He didn't say anything interesting when I spoke to him. He was just there. He'd showed up just as I was mopping up, and the only thing he did was leave. What a strange person.

This is what basically all my music folders look like now: Despite this, I'm hearing no new music. What's the next step?

This is going to take a long while, clicking everything, manually, for like a hundred songs. Any way to automatically blank everything with a single click? Ideally for the whole folder at once?

Hmph.... then backup your music folder first, delete all metadata from those mp3 files with any means and check if the game would play them... (I wonder if bitrate also matters. If not, I'd try to replace all the vanilla tracks from OST I bought from steam) How would I go around to doing either of those things? Deleting the metadata, or restoring the original soundtrack?

That might be something to go for: pretty much all the music has some metadata to it, but the music that does play has less. No titles or numbers, just creator names.

Based on what little I managed to convert with Audiozilla before the free trial expired, it doesn't look like much has changed: the bitrate is the same with a few more files but they still don't play.

I'm renaming the songs as we speak. Many of them are indeed encoded at different speeds, but that was never a problem before. Might be a new Windows thing. Is there a program or something I could use to re-encode them all at the same speed?
