So what moments/situations/battles/locations have made you cry for mommy?

Some recent moments for me: (Playing in a dark room helps.)

-Clearing out the spawns around daedric ruins at night combined with the monsters from Creatures and Morrowind Advanced plus the added sounds from Piratelord's Expanded Sounds. With the semi-maze created by the ruined walls in these areas, I always am at least little freaked out when I clear the area of baddies, since they can be very tough and the place is always crawling with them. This last time I thought I was right behind a silver saint when it went behind a wall and managed to come around behind me. When I turned around it was already right in my face. Had to change my greaves afterwards. Oh, and those daedric bats still catch me by surprise sometimes.

-Focused on picking the lock on a chest in a tomb and a disembodied voice yells "N'Wah!" at me right behind my right shoulder. Jumped out of my freaking chair and cried like a child. Thank you Haunted Tombs and surround speakers for another change of greaves. I've been playing with this mod for a while and it still catches me off guard at just the right moments.

-Final battle in Siege at Firemoth. Get's my adrenaline pumping every time. (Okay, so I've only done it twice so far, but still.)

The only real time morrowind scared me is when I fell off a high ledge, but then again I'm afraid of heights and my stomach turns for all games when i do that >>"

Heh. Well perhaps there aren't many like me, but MW is one of those games that has the immersion capability to create those jump-in-your-seat moments, or at least get the heart thumping for a few seconds every once in a while. When my character doesn't have the solid fear of death on a pretty regular basis, its not long before I start getting bored and start up another character.

Anyway, even if people just share mod titles, maybe we can get a little list going (I'll start one in the op) with the fear/supense/creepy factor -- I'm not sure I've seen a list around with that specific theme.

I'll throw up another title: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39605. WIth this mod every dungeon/cave I go in has me intensely looking into the darkness ahead. Creatures literally jump at you out of nowhere. Sixth house bases are freaky. Granted, I'm currently playing a magically gimped warrior, so night eye/light spell options are not a constant reality.

Sadly, when I get myself into untenable situations, I usually just console myself something uber and then reload a new save. Like when I was testing a mod recently and picked up 5 cursed rubies so fast I didn't realize they were cursed. However, I STILL jump out of my skin when the DB shows up behind me after resting. I know they're there, but AHH! Especially since I put in a mod that makes some of the DB female. I am twice as shocked when that female voice yells "You'll die, S'wit!"

I installed Disturb the Dead as part of a bunch of mods I'd found and wanted to try out, but by the time I actually got to the game again, it was something like a month later and I'd completely forgotten what I'd added. When I finally got to playing agian, it was late one night when I was home alone, and I'd gotten so lost in the game, I'd forgotten to turn the lights on when it got dark outside. I find a crypt some mod or another added somewhere outside of Caldera, and it turns out the modder didn't do much with lighting, so the crypt was DARK. However, it is completely empty, since I already dispatched the bad guys. So, being the mercenary, disrespectful Imperial I was at the time, I start looking the urns.

And then, all of a sudden, I hear a low growl, something like "Who disturbs my rest?" and there is a lich behind me.

I actually shrieked.

first time i took the clothes off my first female character.

LOL

I didn't need any mods - the first time I came across an Ascended Sleeper was quite enough.

But if we're talking mods specifically: I put in one that changed the models of the armour sets to more detailed ones. Unfortunately, it didn't work and ended up turning them into horrible messes that looked like something out of an Escher drawing, if Escher had decided to be more random. Seems it hurt my graphics card as much as it hurt me, too.

There have been quite a few times I've been startled while playing, but I think the worst was one of the mods for tombs; probably Disturb the Dead. I'm not really sure. My husband was the one who actually got me playing Morrowind and he was the one who installed my first mods. So since this was before I "took control" of my own game, I didn't know what mods were installed.

I heard one of those disembodied voices and practically jumped out of my chair. My cat was sleeping on my lap at the time and did NOT appreciate me abruptly disturbing her slumber.

tbh, there was one:
when i was 12/13 and first got this game.
i entered a... dunmer stronghold (god it's been ages since i've played../ )
found my first Lame Corprus Stalker.... immediatly turned and ran...

..into another 3.

Ha, I love it.

So, I guess my point of this thread is more of the "love letter to morrowind" type threads you see in the general section, only with mods, so its here. In any case, I'm amazed how fresh the game feels each time I play -- although, with the infinite number of mod combinations I guess I shouldn't be all that amazed. To me its still like a good movie where you just allow yourself to get svcked in, horror flick or otherwise. Probably helps that I never really played it into the ground, even though I've had it since it came out. I go in spurts of 6-8 months every 2-3 years and I'm enjoying it more this time than ever -- I honestly can't think of another game where I can say that.
So here's to all the awesome modders -- keep modding but do give yourself some time to play once in a while, sheesh.

my one was mod related because of the tetxure replacer... yeah...

lol, well those textures are important!

I know your pain.

This reminds me of a friend of mine who does NOT like being under water in real life. So, of course, when she played her first game of MW she freaked when she tried out the whole swimming under water thing. She was ready to quit the game; I had to convince her to keep playing. Then when she did a grotto swim and almost drown trying to get to a pocket of air, that was it for her, she never swam in the game again, if she could help it.

...that is until she made a water-breathing, swift-swimming argonian. At that point she refused to play any other race and swam all over.

Jump a few years later, I asked her what she chose for her first character in Skyrim...Argonian of course.
