It's especially noticable when you get a quest to fill some soul gems with high level souls from house Telvanni and find out after consulting the internet that your character has to gain two more levels before such daedra will even appear in game. That breaks immersion, at least for me since it makes no sense why the world should change like that. In the vanilla game, however, you can go anywhere in the exterior world and never encounter any difficult enemies at all, until after your character levels a bunch then the character of the world completely changes. There are certain places that should be much much harder to survive at low levels, such as daedric ruins, blighted areas, ash storm areas and anywhere inside the ghost fence. In my view, characters who are too low level to beat higher level daedra in combat should stay away or be prepared and capable of running away should they encounter a daedra that's over their head. Daedric ruins should have a variety of daedra running about at all levels. Scamps are pretty easily defeated at level one, so the in game description of these places as dangerous seems inaccurate. Yet there is nothing more dangerous than a scamp (maybe a clanfear) hanging around the outside of these places at level one. On the other hand, we are warned to stay away from daedric ruins because they are dangerous. It would make no sense to encounter an Ascended Sleeper wandering aimlessly along the coast near Seyda Neen no matter what level your character is. Oblivion is often criticized for its excessive world leveling but Morrowind suffers from the same issue, just to a lesser degree.įurther, unleveled does not mean nonsensical. The world should not change just because your character happens to have leveled up. Personally I don't find it believable that certain enemies don't appear at all until your character reaches higher levels, nor do I find it believable that Seyda Neen is idyllic at low level but is then overrun with cliff racers as soon as your character reaches higher levels. It's about creating a believable world that your character can grow in, rather than a world that drastically changes as your character grows. It's not about skipping low level play or making the game more difficult at low levels or avoiding character growth or premature access to high level gear (which in an unleveled world is protected by high leveled enemies to prevent premature access by the player). It seems like you may be missing the point of an unleveled world. Take a look at the leveled lists (Leveled Creature and Leveled Item) and see if you want to make any changes. So some areas might be tougher when you first started out. and 2) lower the spawn chance of high level creatures. Unleveled creatures: 1) set most (if not all) spawn level to level 1. Unleveled items level 1: chance of dreugh/dwarven/ebony/daedric (although ebony and daedric have much lower chances compared to vanilla) Vanilla Morrowind level 18: chance of dreugh/dwarven/ebony/daedric Vanilla Morrowind level 15: chance of dreugh/dwarven/ebony Vanilla Morrowind level 1: chance of dreugh or dwarven I simply unleveled "random excellent melee weapon" so that a Dremora/Dremora Lord could use a daedric weapon if you happen across one at character level 1 (in vanilla it's dreugh and dwarven weapon). Example: the leveled list "random excellent melee weapon" is used by Dremora and Dremora Lords. Some tough enemies and certain containers will use "good" leveled lists to spawn "good items". Both enemy drops and items found in containers (if those containers/enemy use leveled lists for their drops)
