Does it get any harder (I hope...)?

Post by Ixion »

I'd like to start off by saying that Morrowind is an amazing, beautiful, and engrossing RPG. That said, why did they have to go and make it so easy? Lord knows I get tripped up on certain quests, but combat has been a joke since I hit 15th level...the player character is simply too powerful. At ~11th level, I cranked the difficulty bar to 100, and that helped. I currently have a balanced character at ~lvl 22 who uses a bound longbow most of the time. There are very few adversaries that can challenge me, and I'm certainly not the sharpest tack in the box. If I did find someone who could go toe-to-toe with me , I'd simply hit 'em with the Vampiric Ring, Black Hands Dagger (which is brutal beyond belief), a paralytic arrow, or the 16-shot 96 damage ranged shock amulet I had made. My alchemy is at 100, and I could draw upon awesome potions, but who needs them?

Morrowind vets: does the main quest get more challenging? If not, I'm going with a stripped-down char from here on out (no Daedric at all, no souped-up mega weps, no armor, silver arrows and below, etc.).

I've been watching my bro play his orcish warrior and he can pretty much put anything down with a minimum number of hits from his deadric axe. My character who goes more towards the magickal side can put down pretty much anything with his awesome array of spells, which since he a Breton/Atronach (a ton of magicka bonus) he can cast many before needing to regenerate, and that is never a problem with all the potions he can make.

Difficulty 100 required

It's the only way to make it remotely challenging.

Another is to switch from you skillled armor and weapon to those that are unskilled. Course that only works for a time.

You'll be happy to know that some monsters will kill you if you aren't careful at difficulty 100.

The game ain't too hard, but it's still addidctive as Heck. How else could Bioware games sit around unplayed? I hope that the Morrowind development team addresses the difficulty issue with the expansion pack, Tribunal. I love the Heart of Fury option on the Icewind Dale games; something like that would really help Morrowind.
