Morrowind's Taunt feature

Post Reply New Topic

If you've played The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, you likely know how absolutely useless speech is as a skill. However, Elder Scrolls was not always this way.

In Morrowind, speechcraft was an argubly OP utility to skip entire quests, scare enemies off by the force of your speech, and LEGALIZE MURDER.

That's right, legalize murder. You see, in Morrowind you get this fun little feature called taunt where you literally roast somebody so hard that they try to kill you, which means you can legally MURDER THEM. You can do this to absolutely anyone. In fact, this is how I assassinated the head of one of the great houses and came out clean as a whistle.

But yeah, Morrowind is a riot.

False.

Whut?


Travel to Hlaalu-canton in Vivec.

Track down the room with the dudes in green and black spiky armor.

Drink 20 or so bottles of Sujamma (bought in the bar in front of the silt strider in Balmora)

Enter conversation, open the persuasion window and align the windows so that "persuade" and "taunt" overlap.

click furiously.

"you're pathetic!"
"you're pathetic!"
"you're pathetic!"
"you're pathetic!"
"you're pathetic!"
"you're pathetic!"
"you're pathetic!"
"then pay with your blood!"

One hit kill the dude, and loot a daedric claymore and a full glass armor minus the helmet.

Repeat process with basically any non-essential NPC that has what's rightfully yours!
