(never played it) Something like 70-80% of the way through the main story, you get thrust into a hopeless fight against the final boss, which actually isn't a hopeless fight. Just very difficult.

luigi13579 07/08/19 8:04:36 AM #32:	Came in to say Morrowind. It's an interesting example. You can head to Red Mountain (where the final boss is) at any time, before even starting the main quest. To actually beat him, you need 2 magical artifacts (Sunder and Keening), which you can also obtain right from the off. The caveat is that these artifacts cause (usually mortal) damage when used. Late in the main quest you obtain another artifact (Wraithguard) which guards against this damage. That's how you're meant to do things. In true Morrowind style, there are ways around this. The first is a "short circuit" in the main quest (which is there in case you kill an important NPC and make it unbeatable otherwise). Vivec (the most powerful NPC in the base game) can be killed for Wraithguard (it then has to be activated for you by another NPC). The second way around it is to have enough health to survive using Sunder and Keening without Wraithguard (i.e. a shit-ton). Whichever way you do things, you need to be quite powerful (there are easy ways to become so through glitches or exploits). I may have gotten some details wrong. Anyway, there are some crazy speedruns as a result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FHSFjyn3Js" data-time=" <cite>luigi13579 posted [p:924397222] in Has there ...
