Mildy confused with the levelling system : III

» Sat Jun 18, 2011 12:08 am

So i decided to fire up Morrowind again, start from scratch with the MGSO installed.
Man what a visual delight.

Something I cant quite recall from previous experiences is the way my levelling behaves this time.

I was aiming to get high multipliers on my attributes.
I got the message to go rest and meditate, saved the game and checked my multipliers.
Not exactly what i desired, so i decided to train up a few misc skills.

Got the desired multipliers and levelled.
To my surprise, when i got around 3 skillups for either major or minor skills, the game told me it was time to meditate *again*.

Am i confusing Oblivions levelling system with Morrowinds now?
It seems that raising the misc skills also counts towards levelling progress, because i am positive I didnt raise a major/minor 10 times.

Im not really too concerned but merely curious.
Is this normal, or maybe a mod that comes with the MGSO?

Help me out if you can and thanks in advance.

It must be something mod related, as Misc Skills should not contribute towards leveling up. They will affect your multipliers, but you should only be able to level up after increasing 10 Major/Minor skills.

The only other thing I could figure, if it isn't mod related, is that you raised your major/minor skills more than 10 times before leveling the first time. For example, if you raised 15 major/minor skills before leveling up, you would (I think) have 5 carry over to your next level.

BeerBaron is right about the carryover; that might be the problem. I recommend a simple little mod called SkillUp Ledger if you're going to use the vanilla leveling system. It keeps track of your skills including how many in each attribute between levels. Very, very handy.

It's at PES but unforunately they're down at the moment so I can't give you a link - I'll edit this later.

And yes, it's very handy to help keep track of what to expect from your Multipliers.
But I don't think it will show any "carry-over" skill increases, because it resets after every Level-Up. But if your in-game menu shows 0/0 for Next Level, then you will have no carry-overs.
