Hello again! Don't have a witty comment here, so let's just get into the thread.
What have you been playing recently? Do you have any games you'd like to recommend?
Featured game: The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia. I haven't played this one actually, but it looks very good. Also, it's currently on sale!

I've been playing Morrowind, this is my third attempt at playing it and it's finally clicked with me. I've hit level 10, mostly just doing odd jobs for the Fighter's and Mage's guilds. I ended up in Vivec by accident after casting Almsivi Intervention, and I'm having a nightmare trying to navigate it.

Yeah, Vivec is always a pain in the butt. You'll want to get spells/items/potions of levitation so you can jump off the top floors and fly to your destination. But it's still a pain in the butt. Best decision I made was to go with short blades and get my speed up to 100 as quickly as possible. At least that way you don't waste so much time navigating cities.

Yeah I've been making good use of the boots of blinding speed and an amulet of slow fall. I have a levitation spell but my alteration/mysticism skill (I forget which skill it uses) isn't great.
The boots of blinding speed have been carrying me honestly, I'm playing a heavy armour orc battlemage and while I'm getting faster I'm still pretty slow.

Or you buy a crafted spell/ring that gives you 100% resistance to magic for 1 second and put on the boots of blinding speed. I think it can be done in like first ten minutes of the game.

No real mods, although I am using openMW. I'm enjoying the vanilla game, it just took me a couple of hours to get used to how it plays.

I was gonna play Morrowind but then I got annoyed at the shitty leveling min max.

It's interesting actually, the trick is to choose major/minor skills that you are not going to use often. For example, a good idea is to have Spears on misc so that you'll always be able to raise Endurance as much as possible.

I know how it works, its just shit and encourages super gay minmax builds especially since the combat is so stat heavy.

The game is broken in so many other ways (those 1-second spells in rings, potions that boost alchemy, casting drain strength on Umbra so he becomes over-encumbered) that there's no real need to minmax, the only thing compelling you to e.g. always raise Endurance by 5 points is autism. So like do it if you like it, don't do if you don't.

It's fomo but yeah I know the game can easily be broken in many ways but a lot of that shit makes the games so easy it becomes a snore.

There's a game you can play by yourself if you live near an ocean/sea/large lake with a nice gently sloping sandy beach. You run or walk along the waterline, as waves wash ashore and recede, trying to follow the water as closely as possible, but not so close that you get caught by the next wave (bonus points for wearing usual boots that can get drenched).
Some actual games become much more enjoyable if you approach them with the same attitude.

I don't really see how that lines up with your point, it kinda seems like the opposite of morrowind.

That's obviously suboptimal but you're missing out on a heck of a lot just because you don't like one gameplay mechanic.

I'll get back to it but I got too caught up in the min max but didn't do one of those gay all your important skills are unpicked so I ended up spending more time worrying about getting attribute points. Doesn't help that shit like endurance isn't retroactive.
