I just got done installing OpenMW and setting up the I Heart Vanilla mod list. I also added Daisy’s Lua Multimark to help with getting around a little better.

My only real requirement is that I want my first character to use spears as a primary weapon, because I miss them so much when I play other Elder Scrolls. Medium armor synergises well with spears and Bonemold looks sweet, so I’m leaning towards that, or maybe a medium/heavy mix later when carry weight’s less of a problem.

Other than that, I’m open to suggestion on race, the rest of the build, and factions to seek out. What do y’all think is the most fun for someone coming back to Vvardenfell after so long?

EDIT: A few people liked my writeup of character creation, and it’s helpful to have a record of what I’ve been doing in a game like Morrowind, so this is now a Let’s Play-type journal that I’m calling Morrow(Re)wind.

I’ll be posting updates on !morrowind@lemmy.world so as to not spam this community.

    Spears plus medium/heavy armour suggests to me someone who would have been used to fighting in formation. Maybe you play it as an Imperial legionary who was kicked out in disgrace for something and is hoping to build a new life in Morrowind as somewhere with a weak Imperial presence? Once you’re back on your feet somewhat you can decide to either attempt to rejoin the Legion or you can commit to Morrowind by joining House Redoran
