Superrpgman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) ...se hear me out. I honestly don't know if anyone but I cares, but there doesn't seem to be a single LP for Morrowind that actually finishes, or at least finishes more than the main quest. I myself have always been annoyed by this. Morrowind is one of my top 10 favorite RPGs of all time, and a game like this deserves to be able to be viewed in what I consider its full glory. I think a part of the reason for why this hasn't been attempted by anyone is the way Morrowind is. The plotting down of how one would do an LP is something that has to happen. Doing an LP in Morrowind even semi-blindly is just not something that's ever going to happen. I've watched a lot of blind LP's, and all of them seem to spend 90% their time doing absolutely nothing, and they're the ones that especially go nowhere. Well, after another dissapointing day with my best friend in the world cutting our time with Dungeon Fighter Online shorter than we had imagined, I could not sleep, and I came up with this brainstorm. The idea is not to complete every quest in the game, but instead both the Main Quest and every FACTION quest in the game (minus the vampire quests). Sure, add the vampire quests if you want them, but they never interested me. You don't get anything out of them other than Eltonbrand, and Goldbrand is more than powerful enough to take out almost everything in 1-3 hits. Now I'm aware that this plotting is FAR from perfect, but you know what? It's what an LP needs: a start. Let me make this very clear. If you're reading this, and actually know - not just believe, but actually know - that you have the focus and willpower to complete this project, feel free to edit things however you wish. I claim no ownership to this project. I would, however, not mind some acknowlegement that I helped you out, but that's completely optional. Or hey, maybe you see many glaring errors that I in my insomnia didn't seem to notice. As I type this, I realize that there could be several errors in how I do things. Feel free to change things around and make your own ideas from this. But please, be contstructive. Anyway, like I said, I'll admit I don't have the willpower or focus to complete this task, but if someone else is willing to do this, here's how I would do it. Race: I'd be a Redguard, for Adrenaline Rush is GODLY! Skills: Long Blade, Block, Armorer Medium Armor, and Heavy Armor (perhaps Restoration, and maybe Speechcraft to make certain parts of game easier). Not sure what else to use, but these are the basics. Balanced Cheating: To save time, start with 70 Personality, but don't raise it past that (although the helm that ups personality is ok because it's obtained so late in the LP). Maybe a bonus to Speechcraft as well. Personal Desire: Cheat Join all 3 houses, so you can see all of the faction quests (which is useful because this LP is doing all these quests). I'm not sure how'd you balance this out though. Mods used (besides superficial ones): A Good Place to Stay, so you can teleport away at any time and have a place to sleep and all the storage you'll ever need. The Belt of Flying and Landing would be great as well, so you can levitate at a decent speed at any time and fall safely. Exploits Used: Constantly go to the Creeper to sell things for full price up to to 5000, so you can exploit the game's skill trainers. Item Stuff: Enchant a Ring so that it opens all locks. Get combined items that give over 100% chameleon. Preparation before starting the Main Quest: Steal Warehouse Key and taunt kill guard in excise office for full Imperial Steel Armor. Go to Balmora. Steal Sword of White Roe, and use it for most of the game, so you do a great amount of damage, but at the same time you don't kill most things in one hit, ensuring a good amount of skill gain for your weapon and armor skills. Go to Balmora. Talk to Caius Cosades. Taunt Kill Hlallu guard for armor. Go to join every guild in the game, maybe do the first 2 or Fighters Guild quests, if only for the money, but that's it for the factions. Maybe go to a couple specific caves to get things such as a Mentor's Ring, the Thief Ring and etc, but again, nothing faction-based. Then go through rest of Main Quest. Stuff to do after the Main Quest: After main quest is complete, you easily have a set of Indoril Armor, which is awesome. Go through the House Redoran Quests up to where you get the Redas Robe of Deeds, but don't turn it in. Put the faction on hold. Do the Tribunal Temple for the best Armor in the game. Maybe do the Mages Guild, then do the whole Fighters and Thieves Guilds in order to complete them the "right" way. Complete House Telvanni for all the awesome rewards the faction has to offer. Complete House Hlallu. Then finish off Redoran, getting the Robes of Deeds back afterward. Do Imperial Cult, then do Imperial Legion. Finally, do all the Daedric God Statue quests, starting with Azura's Star and ending on the highest note, getting Goldbrand. Move onto Tribunal. Oh, and one more thing. This is a long, complex, involving game. Briefly refresh the audience's memory of what's been done recently - maybe once every 10 videos or so, or maybe once every 5th or so of the way between each of the factions quests. Well, that pretty much covers it all. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this. I realize that as I typed all of this up that there's a good chance that I'm lucky if one other person cares about someone attempting this project, but I really do have a dire hope that this will happen. Oh, and I want to thank my editor (who wishes to remain anonymous) for getting rid of all the typos and other errors in my English. I also want to thank pretty much all of the regulars at the NEXUS chat room. I don't think I've ever felt more welcome, and I appreciate all of you, especially TokyoBleach. You're like a little sister to me, and while I don't consider myself to be a good person, I know I'm a better person regardless just by being around you from time to time. Thank you for being such an awesome person. I really hope that you get to be a mod of the chat rooms one day. You're very active there, and I don't think there's a single regular that doesn't like you. Thanks again, and goodnight.

PseronWyrd Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 What are you referring to? I don't understand what an "LP" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilurk Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Same. Never heard of it. I'm guessing you mean some kind of video walkthrough to go on Youtube, or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazaCovek Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Dap642 did a start-to-finish 29 episode of the main quest, and a partial Bloodmoon.www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3DChzMhgEEThe vanillas have been done, and ReymasofAshborne did a fully modded Morrowind, unfortunately he got side-tracked/lost in his game and ended up bumbling around the Morrowind with too many unfinished quests.www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3PD_sxVjOwIf you are going through with it, then I would recommend that you download complete pages into appropriate folders from Wiki, that way you will have an offline reference in case your quest grinds to a halt (One of the causes of 'play blind' failures). Before you start, know the game from beginning to end especially land/quest mods. www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:MorrowindI have yet to see a moderately modded Morrowind LP.To keep your audience interested, play the game from beginning to end, cut it up into X number of pieces and post half-a-dozen per week.With the mod 'Alternative Start' you have the option of starting the game without being locked into the main quest, freeing you to level-up by pursuing side quests before tackling the main quest.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=147'Heather Cottage' teleports to Balmora, Pelagiad, Suran, Ebenheart and Vivic. There are teleport rings plus 500 gold in every white scallop.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3774'Morrowind Comes Alive 6.1' (set mca_moreenemies to 2) will make game life entertaining.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=563'MCA - People of Morrowind' makes the cities more crowded.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8963'Protective Guards' will fight the bandits [better than MCA guards]http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6006'Clear Bounty' solves the problem of your character being blamed for guard related murders. You will need the console as the ring might not show up in the barrel.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2440You can use 'Master Trainer Teleport Ring' to map mark the location of master trainers, teleport back with Heather then quest/travel to them.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1293'NPC Commands' makes partners out of everybody including Vivic.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8135'Universal Companion Share' with the above.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=4416If you choose to use 'Morrowind Code Patch' the hatch, outside the Census Office, has a device that will change your character into a vampire or cure it, plus a million gold.http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19510My favorite land mod is 'Sea of Destiny' [original, within swimming range of Seyda Neen]. The orc merchant has 60grand plus every weapon in Morrowind.http://www.moddb.com/mods/sea-of-destinyVersion 2 is further away to allow other land mods.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=9055If you like Dremora, 'Westly Presents-Dremora(Markynaz) Race & Princess_Stomper Presents Gatanas Companion' I use her all the time.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7039&id=5019#FilesSee also, ' M'Harjaan Race', very nice.http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7039&id=5586My own game is in four stages, alt-start, trainer tours, side quests branching from a after-tour root save, then finally main quest.

Superrpgman Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 An LP is a Let's Play, where someone goes through a game, and provides commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoManIAm94 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 There are a lot of LPs on Youtube and the best one I have seen was made my jpgamer so far. But a HUGE tip is to do the Tribunal Temple before the Main Quest since you cannot complete the temple once you have gotten so far in the main quest. I made that mistake once.
