Re: List of fundamental gameplay changes?

That sounds quite hyperbolic. It's one thing to say a subtle implementation difference in how Birthsigns work impacts your metagame in an undesirable way (which there is a mod to address , so you can still get what you want), but another to say it's "fundamental to role playing". Personal...

Re: Unable to train - any ideas?

We don't patch the game content, so you've still got loads and loads of bugs from that which you'll want to fix with something like Patch for Purists anyway. However, one of the main goals of OpenMW is to make using mods easier. For example, we've got a system where each mod can go in its own direc...

Re: List of fundamental gameplay changes?

For me, the change to the behavior of that birthsign means I need to re-start my game, change birth sign, change favored attributes, change Major/Minor skills, and change how I approach the first 5-10 levels from how I would have done so with the original game. Those things are fundamental to role ...

Re: Unable to train - any ideas?

If the behavior of the Lady matters so much for you, why not just install the mod that replicates it? I may do that, but I haven't yet for three reasons. First LoneWolf said he thought that I would need to restart the game and I have quite a few hours into it already. I'd rather not re-do that work...

List of fundamental gameplay changes?

tl;dr - is there a list of differences between the original patched Morrowind gameplay and OpenMW gameplay? I had only played a few hours before I found one - the change to how Birthsigns effect Attributes (e.g. The Lady). This change fundamentally impacts my choices during character creation, which...

Re: Unable to train - any ideas?

I read through the long post [1] you linked to as well as the older thread that was referenced there but I had a little difficulty understanding the discussion. I think the issue is that I played Morrowind quite a bit (probably put 2,000-4,000 hours into it) so I had a thorough understanding of the ...

Unable to train - any ideas?

I recently installed OpenMW. Morrowind was my favorite game for years after it came out, but I haven't played it in probably 15 years. Anyway, I'm having a problem. I'm trying to train Speechcraft with Caius Cosades. My speechcraft is 35 and my Personality is 55. However, when I try to train with hi...
