  • I only pitch it to people who already play MMOs. It’s a massive time sink, and very heavy with cutscenes. Sometimes the story gets really slow (like basically doing chores for people to convince them to help you save the world) but at other times it’s absolutely incredible. I agree that the 4th xpac is some of the best writing ever.

    As for spoilers in the game, you should be pretty safe. The game itself will take you through the story linearly and the community is generally very respectful.

    You can play the base game and I think the first expansion up to level 60 for free. Be aware that it is an MMO, and they’ve kept most of the content that they’ve added in the game, so it’s pretty daunting starting out.

    Forced is a bit of a cop out. Nobody is forced to take a masochist pawn, cut off their arms and legs, and rig them up with a joywire and psychic harmonizer. And nobody ever made hundreds of human skin hats out of necessity.

    Though I have on one occasion initiated a nuclear meltdown due to a particularly nasty infestation that caused a full evacuation. The full cataphract armored kill team I sent to reclaim the base got trashed but one managed to limp to the reactor and shut off the cooling.

    Oh and the one time I stored an antigrain warhead next to something electrical and a zzt blew the whole base to hell but that wasn’t on purpose.








  • In morrowind, you would gain athletics experience for swimming, even if you weren’t moving. So an easy way to powerlevel was to jump into a canal in balmora, wrap a rubber band around your controller stick, and walk away for a few hours whole your character endlessly swam into a wall leveling up.

    I know there were also several broken spell combinations, but my favorite was using a custom fortify jump 100 for 3 seconds and then a fortify jump 200 for 1 second and leaping across the map (because fast travel was transit style between fixed points).

    Oh and summons disappear when they die, but if you looted one the same instant you killed it, you could get its gear. So you could create a cheap summon golden saint spell for a few seconds, kill and loot it and repeat for unlimited ebony and glass shields and weapons.

    In skyrim, there are enchantments that enhance alchemy, and potions that enhance enchanting, so by alternating between the two, you could create gear with RIDICULOUS enchantments. Like the numbers on them would be in the hundreds of thousands.
