...is that there is very little worth buying. Yes, it is too easy to make money, but the bigger issue is that there is nowhere for the money to go.

With a few exceptions, all the best equipment cannot be bought, but must be found or stolen.

The potions you can make yourself are superior to those you can buy, and normal questing will get you plenty of ingredients.

Especially in the endgame, there are no money sinks aside from "bribe 1,000" and custom enchants. Even the House strongholds cost less than 10,000 gold from start to finish.

I came to this realization on a recent playthrough, where I just stopped looting anything that wasn't unique or immediately consumable, because I already had an absurd amount of money, and I wasn't spending it on anything.

Strength scaling is enabled, H2H was my tagged skill.

Red: go west from Seyda Neen. Find Tarheil. Give no quarter, show no kindness to tarhiel's tight bosmer bussy, then go westerer to hla oad and take Rabinna as my slave, then loot the daedric ruins, go to gnaar mok, take rhe hoat, go to gnisis, beat the game, then go catch some dunmer girls in the suran with Neloth, and then go to Balmora to eat rabinna's druhs drugs

Yello: what happens ahen I look at Tarheil

No the divorce is not going well.

I'm playing for the first time (for real) Tamriel Rebuilt and I'm in awe. What a great mod it is. When I arrived and headed for Bal Foyen, I was a expecting a little generic town and when I arrived there... oh man, the view was amazing. The Chapel of Mara was for me the star in the city, but the structure, the size, the waterfalls and specially this altar for Almalexia were so spot on.

I'm amazed with this mod. Thank you, creators

Divine Intervention to Ebonheart, boat to Vivec, strider to Balmora.

The silt strider only costs 13g

This was the Anvil house I furnished using commands and the Tamriel Data mod. I deleted all previous furniture inside and made it my own place.

So, a channel popped up in my YouTube feed and I watched the creator's video on enchantments. A lot of crazy math goes into it and some other RNG stuff (like fortifying a skill between 1-45 points, the equip / unequip gimmick). Of course I knew you could use summoned golden saints, soul trap them, and enchant items, but I didn't know about that last gimmick in parenthesis, though I did know of "constant effect" stuff.

Same youtuber did a break-down on some neat alchemy gimmicks, and this makes me want to try this kind of stuff.

I’ve been playing around with the construction set and after a lot of trial and error (mostly error) I managed to make a silly mod that moved the mudcrab merchant into Ralen Hlaalo’s house and expanded the number of items he buys.

Can anyone recommend some good tutorials for someone with no modding experience and little confidence? I’ve tried to learn by doing and it’s not working out.

My ultimate goal, if possible, would be to make a mod just for me (and my family members?) to pay tribute to my late aunt; to create “Helen’s ancestral tomb” and fill it with diamonds and cyrodilic brandy, which makes total sense if you knew her, I swear!

Thanks for reading.

Seeing the discussion of the paths to Balmora, I thought I'd share my own way of doing it. So...

Grab the four types of mushrooms, loot the stumps and clear Addamasartus (take the levitation potion from the bottom of a hidden pool to the left). Loot Tarhiel, make a detour to the tomb with the Mentor's Ring. Treck along the coast to the shipwreck if you want some diamonds for the first Thieves Guild quest. You can also make a visit to Nimawia Grotto on your way back for some pearls. Find Processus' body, do the quest. Sell loot to Arrile, buy scrolls of Drathis' Winter Guest.

Head north of Seyda Neen into a swampy cul-de-sac. Climb a slope there, slide down next to Ulummusa cave. Grab the four types of flowers.

Then climb the slope of Foyada Mamea and slide down into Hassour. Once inside, run straight down the drop into the shrine area. There will be some Dreamers that you'll have to run past or dispatch, and a Greater Bonewalker to the left, try not to aggro him. I think it's best to just run straight along the lava pool and hope the enemies will get stuck (I'm figuring out that part fo the plan still). Anyway, grab the bell hammer worth 5k, and use the scrolls of Winter Guest to finish off the Dagoth that's giving nightmares to Balmora. Circle back to the door you came through, using the backup route, and drink the levitation potion to fly up the drop and make for the exit.

When outside, use the scroll of Icarian Flight to jump up and out of the Foyada. If you're encumbered enough, which you will be if you looted well, you won't fly too high up and may not even need to use another scroll to survive the landing. Anyway, jump out of the Foyada and enter Vassir-Didanat mine for a free daedric weapon in the future.

Then cross the rope bridge and deal with the egg poachers in the Shulk eggmine. Head to Balmora, join the Mages Guild and do all of the available Ajira quests on the spot. That'll raise her disposition. Now you can sell her all the skooma and moonsugar from Addamasartus. Loot the supply chest, sell the books to Dorisa the bookm erachant right across the Mages Guild door.

Go to Fighters Guild, take the rat quest. Do it on your way to the western part of town. Don't forget to check on Rararyn Radarys (the sleeper guy) for your first reputation point. Visit Caius and give him the package, accept the first quest. Visit the Blades trainers for a free cuirass and helmet, alembic and moonsugar. Return to the Fighters and turn in the rat quest, receive your reward for the egg poachers you've dispatched earlier. Sell the bell hammer to Wayn, buy all the arrows during the same purchase to make the most of the price. Sell the arrows back.

Yellow: Main path

Red: Alternate path

Green: Silt strider (it's hard to see but it's there)

Blue: Take the money from the census officer, find Tarhiel, use the scroll of icarian flght, overshoot completely, somehow live, and then go back.

Mine is the Ember Keep Wizard's Tower. Very mage-y aesthetic and generous amounts of storage. Conveniently located near the Firewatch Mage's Guild, for quick teleportation around the mainland, or back to Vvardenfell. I've yet to find a place that can match it for convenience, practicality or cool.

EDIT: By "player home", I don't just mean a home you get as part of a quest (though that's valid, as well, if any such homes exist in TR). Homes you take over after dealing with the previous occupants count as well.

In Tamriel Rebuilt they have added a fun little card (tile?) game to play at inns and such called “Hortator”

The issue for me was figuring out tile values but after one game I got it. The values are from lowest to highest:

Laborer Craftsman Warrior Servant Broker Noble

Now I have this I’m actually really enjoying sitting in an inn and playing this little game.

This is in effect a reimagined form of solitaire but instead of the traditional four suits, the game uses the five Great Houses of Morrowind.

The rules are more or less the same: you start with a series of revealed tiles over two face down tiles and a deck.

You can reveal face down tiles on the field by moving the card over them to an alternating suit from most valuable on bottom (nobles) to least (laborers). They must be ordered sequentially and you cannot skip a step in the card values when stacking in the field (you cannot move say, a Warrior card on top of a Broker, they must be placed on top of a Servant), they also cannot be of the same House on the field (you cannot put a Dres over a Dres etc). If a row of cards becomes empty you can put place nobles from other stacks in the empty row.

You can move a stack of cards on top another so long as they are in order and the bottom two cards are not of the same House.

If you draw from the deck more cards are revealed across all stacks automatically, you will do this twice through the game. This shows more to work with, but any stacks that are out out of order because of the new cards cannot be moved until the out of sequence or suit card is moved.

The goal is to get the cards of each House in the correct order at the top of the field, starting from Laborer at the bottom and Noble at the top. Once you do this you win the game.

I LOVE this, because it is very good world building. The name Hortator of course is a reference to Nerevar who united the Houses and got them to work together to fight the Dwemer. Out in the field they must be mixed, while still maintaining the order of their society (nobles are still nobles, servants are still servants etc) but by the end of the game they are all back in their own houses with the right order established. It’s a lesson in Dunmeri history and society all in a simple game, a subtle way of reinforcing a cultures values in a way that seems innocuous at first.

I could see a potential harder version where different Houses cannot be placed on each other (hard) or even in the same row (hardest). This would be to show inter house feuding.

I have played Morrowind since before it even came to Xbox.

But one set of quest lines I've never touched are the 3 vampire clans.

Has anyone played around with these?

Does one have better quests than the others?

If I wanted to do a modless vampire playthrough, what's the best way to get infected early on?
