Re: Morrowind Max Difficulty Race Tier List


I would argue that Argonians should be lower, given that any character who progresses the Main Quest will become immune to disease via the corprus cure.

You're not wrong, but I think they can make decent hybrid mages, and their spear bonus gives them some leverage. Meanwhile, male Wood Elves are ...

Re: Oblivion Max Difficulty Race Tier List

Good point. Somehow, I forgot to factor in their daily power when I wrote my article. Ancestor Guardian is extremely useful early on, especially on the highest difficulty. I will add a line to the Dunmer section as I want my tier lists to be as detailed as possible.

Again, thank you.

The fact that Imperial Luck is bugged and is actually active for all races is a serious argument against ever choosing Imperial. A shame really.

Re: I want to steal as much as possible

Because taking objects contributes to the game becoming unstable, I could never allow myself to be a thief in Morrowind.

In my humble opinion, Nords and Redguards would be among the best races in the game.

A Male Nord is right behind a Male Orc in terms of weight-influenced speed, but the elemental resistances that Nords naturally possess allow them to reach 100% resistance quite easily. This makes them incredibly ...
