Starting a new play and man do I love this game. I could talk about Morrowind for hours so lets do.

Question: There's a million little game breaking exploits so what limitations do you impose on yourself to keep the game fair? When are you cheating?

For me the uh compounding magic is cheating, like fortifying before making potions. Permanent buffs like soul trapping myself are cheating. spamming wait/rest (like for creeper) is cheating.

I really love the overworld. That's what it is. It's an entire foreign culture but like an original culture. The lore, the pantheon, the style. Game of Thrones is British derivative. Dune is the middle east. Morrowind feels unique.

    but man they just don’t make games like that anymore. I loved learning about the ashlander culture, I loved how fucking weird and contrasting it was against generic fantasy, and so much of the game just felt like a fleshed out world rather than a Skinner Box of shitty generated quests to get me on a loot treadmill.

    It really is sad what capitalism has done to culture.
