[@skulblaka965]

Oh man, I consider myself a genuine Morrowind oldhead and I've never even heard of that max fatigue exploit. That's incredible, that might actually be new tech, 22 years after release lol. In a real run you're not really ever going to have 4 max fatigue (unless you're doing some ridiculous challenge run 😉) however it is totally feasible through alchemy or enchanting to fortify your stamina to outrageous levels for a similar effect, plus just having effectively infinite stamina as a side effect.

[@necrorebel5718]

There's an existing, known exploit with Drain Intelligence to 0, which fully restores your Magicka. I bet you could use 4 Drain Attribute effects to momentarily set your max Fatigue to 0 to use the fatigue multiplier for something. Maybe not actually useful, given how very many utterly unbalanced things there are in Morrowind, but it's probably doable.

[@JustBackgroundNoise]

I could've made a bunch of damage attribute spells and done this "legitimately." Damaged attributes don't regenerate without spells, potions, or praying at a shrine. It just didn't occur to me at the time. A potential useful strategy could be to damage your fatigue stats with spells, then use the lowered fatigue to buy some enchanted items that can also damage your attributes, and then restore those damaged attributes at a shrine. This way, you can whip out the cheese at a moments notice. You could even make some enchanted items to restore the attributes rather than finding a shrine.

My belief on Tribunal vs Nerevar: They definitely betrayed him, but they each dealt with it differently. Sotha sil retreated into his passions and sealed himself off from the world and his own guilt/grief Vivec grew to feel guilty that it was “necessary” the Indoril being his way of making amends and burying the truth being his way to keep his old friend alive in the minds of the public. He feels this memorial and preserving their shared people as he wears the proof of his “necessary” sin makes it okay. Amalexia has decided to double, triple, and quadruple down on the betrayal and believes herself above such things as guilt and love. Remorse is for the mortals, she has a god complex to cultivate.

[@Deathshke]

Last year I wanted the most brutal start I could imagine and started a challenge playthrough called "The Fleaman Challenge". All attributes and skills begin at level 0, as does magicka. Health and fatigue had to begin at level 1 however, for obvious reasons. Unlike this video, however, I did keep attribute growth when leveling up. Oh, and as the namesake entails, the command console was used to set my player model scale to 1% of my character level. I have fond memories of hopping away from enemies and poking their toes from under tables or chairs using a toothpick chitin spear to get endurance levels. :D To anyone brave enough to try it, be prepared for a very quirky progression experience.
