do you find yourself jumping everywhere?

thousandfrac · Post by **thousandfrac** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 11:13 am

i understand it gets my acrobatics up, but i maxed that ages ago with my main character and i still bounce around the place like some kind of morrowind tigger.
being able to jump high speeds me up, but if i jump off anything and land somewhere lower down then i'm guaranteed to take fall damage, which kinda makes it stupid
how do you all travel?
anyone else jump around?

ROFL! Yes, constantly! For some reason I don't seem to take much damage if I fall though. It would be even funnier to do this with a khajit character!

What *is* stupid is that I actually have to remember to run

Hmmm. I've never had my acrobatics up so high that Jumping really speeds me up. I'll have to experiment.

i havent tested how much fall damage i take, probably quite a bit though i guess it depends what i jump off. nothing that could hurt my god like character muahaha
khajit look so cute when they jump!

you can jump higher and faster when you arent carrying much, like not carrying much speeds up your running and walking. i find it can be useful to jump over people or get to places i might otherwise need to levitate to. though carrying 2 heavy enchanted CE levitation rings means i dont have to worry about that

Well, when my character is jumping all the time my character gets wherever he needs to be much faster.

That's why there's a SLOWFALL spell.

I run and jump and fly and swim. I enchanted an item with 2 points of CE slowfall plus another CE spell (restore health I think, but that's not relevant). 1 or 2 points of slowfall will protect you no matter what height you fall or jump from. I use Boots of Blinding Speed, rings/amulets of CE water walking, CE water breathing and CE levitation as needed so I can go anywhere on the map. I use CE nighteye so I can see in the darkest cave or tomb. I love jumping from peak to peak on mountains and running up the sides of near sheer cliffs. I don't take paths but make a bee line for my destination. I use the master propylon index for fast travel to the forts to get me in the general area I need.

i think thats the ultimate thing to acchieve in morrowind, fast travel. weighing almost nothing, running and jumping and flying and swimming everywhere. starting a new character after playing a fast one is so weird, you seem to run in slow motion
never tried constant effect slow fall, i might have to sometime

I have heard, but not tested, that you can enchant something with 0 points CE Slowfall and be completely protected from fall damage....

I dont do much jumping. Most of the time I have over 350 lbs of stuff on me so it dosent really do much. I do love my boots of blinding speed and my dwemer boots of flying. Thats how I prefer to travel.

never liked those dwemer boots. cant remember where i left my boots of blinding speed, i just cant find them.
what do you carry around that weighs so much? i cleared everything out recently. got rid of all the weak lockpicks and the ingredients and the potions and the scrolls and the books and the junk
and the armour heh

Its probably my armor weighing me down, stupid ebony. I will probably end up switching to glass or something light soon. Make use of my 4 sets of it I guess.
