All Factions Notes

All Main Quests (Glitched) Notes/Guide - GotY Route

***Up to date***

This is for the version 1.6 GotY edition, which is currently the fastest version. For learning the route, I recommend replicating what I do in my run bit by bit, and then committing it to memory, using saves for parts that are difficult or hard to remember.

OOB=Out of Bounds
AI=Almsivi Inervention
DI=Divine Intervention

General notes:

**Menu Setups**
Main things I think are important for menus are the dialogue and bartering windows. I have a very specific setup that I use which I believe is most appropriate for the run. 
 
Dialogue - I have my dialogue window set up for training. When I go to do the only training in the run at the Fighters Guild, the training button is lined up on Spear so I can train by double clicking after opening dialogue. Other than that, the window is pretty small so I can reach "Goodbye" relatively fast without having to move my mouse all the way across the screen.

Bartering - I have the "Offer" and "Cancel" buttons positioned to be adjacent to "Goodbye" so when I complete a transaction, I just have to move my mouse left a bit to finish it. This is done in a very quick motion which saves time. You can also practice doing this easily on any save file.

**Keybinds**
-Keybinds are really important as they allow you to select spells while moving. For some spells like Bound Spear, I do not Keybind them, even though I use them quite a bit. By using another keybind and then using Next Spell in conjunction, you can access other spells that you have not keybound very quickly. For example, selecting Bound Spear is achieved by using Almsivi Intervention (spell) that we purchase, bound to 1, then pressing V two times quickly which for me is bound to Next Spell.

**Movement**
-You move 1.4x faster while moving diagonally so try to incorporate that when it is reasonable. I use the (pinned) map as a visual cue by looking at the direction i'm facing in many situations.

-Very often, your immedate goal/next thing to do is to get to the next location OR person in as straight of a line as possible. A big part of this is knowing exactly where to aim, and another part is being able to INTERACT from max range. Default keybind for this is spacebar, but I use E which is default in the later ES games, but it's all preference. A lot of the time I tend to mash just so I can initate the interaction as fast as possible.

-Going out of bounds is normally done by just holding a direction (usually backwards) as you are entering an interior cell. However, it can also be achieved by going up against a thin wall or geometry and quicksaving as you are moving in that direction. I use it quite a few times and it is absolutely worth it if you want to go as fast as possible. It can be tricky to use F5 so quickly but you can actually keybind this to something else if you prefer. Also, with superior hardware, it not possible to do out of bounds in specific areas, so you have to remember which ones these are for you and do a Quicksave as soon as you enter. It doesn't lose much time to do this and you should be able to do an OOB in a lot of areas. 

-You can move and aim a bit the instant the fade-in begins while you are entering a new location. I take advantage of this in a few spots.

I won't cover most of the dialog done throughout the run, so I recommend trying for yourself and commit it to memory. You can use slow-mo playback if necessary or ask questions in Elder Council Discord for specific help. Just be aware that there is an optimal amount of dialogue for the run and you can lose time by choosing unnecessary options. 

The segments below are my splits, and you are obviously free to use whatever segments/splits setup you'd like.

Common Problems and Their Solutions

With contributions from Yimmeryams and Volvulus

Note for Steam users: verify the integrity of the game cache before trying any of the solutions below

Problem: The v1.0 downpatcher doesn't seem to be doing anything
Solution: Go to the Morrowind Launcher and disable the Tribunal and Bloodmoon esm files before downpatching

Problem: All text is grayed out on the launcher screen except ElderScrolls.com and Exit
Solution: Morrowind does not have admin privileges enabled. If you installed Morrowind into Program Files or Program Files (x86), you should copy everything to a different folder on your drive (i.e. C:\Morrowind). Right click Morrowind.exe and choose Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and select Run this program as an administrator. Repeat for the launcher.

Problem: Error message on launch saying "Font 0 not found" or a similar message
Solution: This is usually caused by missing text in Morrowind.ini. Check your Morrowind.ini file for lines which say [Fonts] Font 0=magic_cards_regular. If you don't see that in there, delete all the text in your Morrowind.ini file and replace it with the text here: http://web.archive.org/web/20110918045122/http://yacoby.silgrad.com/MW/Tuts/IniTut/IniPopup/StockMorroini.htm
If you don't have a Morrowind.ini file, you can make it by copying that text into a text file and renaming the extension.

Problem: Error Message saying Could not find the movie file bethesda logo.bik on the CD.\
Solution: Move the Video folder in Data Files to your root Morrowind folder. If this doesn't work, put the video files in that folder in your root Morrowind Folder.

Problem: Can't enter Cavern of the Incarnate, even after confirming it is the correct time
Solution: Disable Tribunal.esm and Bloodmoon.esm in the launcher.

Problem: Can't complete the jump from Balmora to Odrossal
Solution: This can be caused by a number of different things. First, make sure your fatigue is nearly full before starting the jump. Second, make sure you have auto run active and are running forward for the entire duration of the jump. Last, make sure Adrenaline Rush is still active before the jump starts (though it will run out in the middle of it). For safety, you can use all 3 scrolls during the jump: the first before jumping, the second as the first runs out, and the third when you get to the Red Mountain region.

Problem: The game crashes during or shortly after the jump from Balmora to Odrossal if it's raining in Balmora
Solution: During the run, if it is raining in Balmora when you teleport in, quicksave before making the jump. Additionally, you can go to your ini file and change the fps max setting to 120 and max raindrops to 0. 

Problem: You randomly die during the run after picking up Sunder
Solution: Sunder and Keening both have scripts which drain health if they're your active weapon. If you have them as your active weapon and you're not in the heart chamber, switch to a different weapon as soon as possible.

Problem: When going for a second run, the heart is missing from the heart chamber, the almsivi intervention scroll doesn't work from Seyda Neen, or you see other weird glitches and things broken.
Solution: Exit the game completely every time you complete a run

Problem: "Cannot delete this item from the Magic Menu" message when trying to switch spells
Solution: The most common cause of this is holding down CTRL or Shift while grabbing items from the looting inventory screen or exiting it. Try not to do that. If you do accidentally, though, you can fix it by opening your inventory and right clicking on whatever spell you need to use next. 

Problem: (for GOTY & Bloodmoon runners) Error message saying Failed to load snowflake: meshes\bm_snow_01.nif".
Solution: First, double check that you didn't install Morowind into "Program Files" and its set to "Run as Administrator" and NOT "read only." Then, check your Morrowind.ini file to make sure that the following lines of code are present: 
[Archives]
Archive 0=Bloodmoon.bsa
If that's not there, reinstall Tribunal and Bloodmoon. CD users may also want to directly copy the "Data Files" folder (or the .nif file) from the Bloodmoon CD into the folder on their computer.

Problem (for WINE users): the game crashes immediately after launching
Solution: Make sure WINE is using the correct dll files from the downpatcher

Problem: Odrossal is super dark and hard to navigate
Solution: Calibrate your display by increasing the gamma. In Windows, go to Calibrate Display Color and increase the gamma, skipping through all other options (if desired).
