Help me make rules to play Morrowind

Post » Sun Aug 14, 2011 11:12 pm

Hi, I need a rule to prevent me from constantly saving my game. This way I can kill almost anybody and do almost anything, because if I die/fail I can just load the game I saved some seconds ago. I tried a mod that disabled saves and puts a save bell on the cities, so you can only save at the cities. But Morrowind has many CTDs, so this was very frustrating. I need a rule that allows to do more saves.

Does anybody use rules? If so, post them here. I feel that it can really improve the game, because it prevents abuses that take the fun out of the game.

Constantly saving is a good thing, and essential to keeping your Save file healthy.
Why not just create a few different Save files? That way if you die or crash you can choose which Save file to start again, but you still get the benefit of having a fresh Save file too.
This is also smart, in case you do something game-breaking by accident but don't notice for a few days.

Don't use Trainers.
Only travel on foot.
Clear dungeons without Resting. (rely on potions/magic to heal)

Using http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8707 can add a lot more of a challenge. It forces you to sleep and eat, or you suffer.

Yeah, multiple saves are a necessity with this game. I like the freedom this game gives you.

Only load hardsaves and only load hardsaves in cities.

Problem solved.
