What I liked about the College questline is how at the start you get treated as an actual student going on an expedition, but you make it ten steps into the dungeon and some ethereal mf shows up and tells you you’re the Chosen One of Legend.
Like bitch I know I’m the Dragonborn just let me larp as a normal ass dude for once.
That’s probably my favorite aspect of Morrowind, and I think most people bring it up when discussed. The fact that until level 10 most NPCs spit in your face made it feel earned.
Are there any games where a plot or subplot is about everyone being The Chosen One of Legend for doing something mundane like just waking up? I feel like it could be a funny story
The Bards Tale has a bunch of dumb kids being lied to that they’re the Chosen One and getting themselves killed. Every one you encounter gets an Oompa Loompa-style song about their death.
Morrowind does something similar with its prophecy, except all the other people actually were potential Chosen Ones, with whoever fulfills the prophecy first mantling the position of Nerevarine.
With how weak destruction is, and how unreliable summons are, it’d be a miracle for someone to actually complete the questline without resorting to slashing, clubbing, stabbing, arrowing or fisting things
I fisted a lot of things at the College
my bow comes from a spell so it counts as using spells :p
I don’t get how you can without having to do the one spell to be allowed in. or is that a different elder scrolls?
In the cross-post, someone says you can apparently do with a sword that shoots a spell: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/78309884/29242858
But yeah, OP probably just didn’t think of that one mandatory spell…
I was fresh out of the box and had just popped my head out of the tutorial. The storyline naturally tried to guide me to that first town but I took a left turn. I said “I want to be a mage!” and looked at the map. Oh look there, a college! I wandered my happy ass across the map at level 1, learning that giants were not friendly the hard way, but eventually made it after a few saves and reloads. It was a fun way to start the game.
Skyrim’s Giant Space Program Club is always accepting new skytronauts
I miss when advancement had a skill component, not just a quest one.
