I don't think he cares.

His e-cred levels are decreasing. He should care. This is serious.

Maybe I'll do a super-legit playthrough later.  It's not relevant to what I'm trying to experience now, though.

No clip into Dagoth Ur's chamber. /kill. Done.

It might actually be a bit more complicated than this. Might have type a few extra lines to trigger the dreams or whatever.

But Saddam, why enjoy a game when you could slog through it painfully

Is it really Morrowang if you're not repeatedly trying to hit your foe with a dagger only to foolishly miss?

Here is the current record-holder:

The playthrough involves skipping through large chunks of the game, though.

Lore?

That, as well as the story in general, and the rest of the setting.

Saddam wants his memory of playing Morrowind to be as bad as possible so he actually hates the game instead of just pretending he does.

I just said that I'm enjoying the game more now that I'm unnerfed. ???

Ugh.  Potato faces, awkward zooming in on said potato faces whenever they talk?  No way.

You could also just play the game the way it was meant to be played, considering it isn't that difficult.

You think you're having more fun playing with cheats, but it's false fun. It is unwholesome, impure, and illusory. Real fun is earned through hard work and persistence. When you inevitably grow tired of riding around from quest to quest on your magical chariot of cheats, there will be a little fun-shaped hole in your heart.

I don't know, I've heard from a lot of people in the fan community that abusing the features and munchkin-ing up are a big part of why the game is still so beloved to this day.  For example, apparently all the soaring around you can do doesn't work as well in the later games, because the cities are all in their own separate cells.

Part of the Nerevarine's journey is the terrible game design. That is part of who he is. If you find a way to circumvent all of that... then it's just not the same adventure. It's a cheap knockoff.

Terrible, just terrible.

I don't see why people think Morrowind is slow when it's considerably faster than other TES games.

No clip into Dagoth Ur's chamber. /kill. Done.

It might actually be a bit more complicated than this. Might have type a few extra lines to trigger the dreams or whatever.

It's simpler than that, actually. You don't need to trigger or noclip anything, you just need to waltz into Dagoth Ur's lair (which is completely accessible from the beginning) and grab Sunder and Keening on your way there.

GegenuberVerge used to always make rings of lowering all his stats by a crap load and then receive training for jack cheap until he could survive a jump to Nordy Island.

I on the other hand would smash my character into a wall after robbing some guy for a weapon and repeat until I had the helm of Orwen Bearclaw.

And then Arniel Gane somehow found a way to get his hands on Keening.  And then Modryn Oreyn somehow found a way to get his hands on the Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw.

Well, they actually explained that one.  The Nerevarine returned it to his family as a gift.  I wish they'd made similar efforts for some of the other recurring artifacts in the series.  Like the way the Staff of Magnus is in TESO.  You last see it when you hand it over to Ayrenn.  How did it get to Labyrinthian from there?

Let's get married, beerdo.  We'll get a ten percent bonus to our xp gains when we're both online!

No, wait, it looks like only the people who got the Imperial Edition are actually able to get married.  That sucks.
