    But I get a stupid-looking sweet hat off that body, plus scrolls containing a new and hilarious way to commit suicide!

        I’m aware. Too bad the author didn’t have the player’s amazing ability to read a sheet of paper while flying at Mach speeds!

          Human terminal velocity is no where near Mach speeds. Only about 120-200 mph.

            Acrobatics buffs your horizontal and vertical speeds. The scroll lets you leap across a huge portion of the entire island in under ten seconds. I’m not sure how big Vvardenfell is canonically, but the caster is definitely going far faster than terminal velocity.

        Playing Morrowind really spoiled me for the rest of the Elder Scrolls series. Many gameplay elements of it were trash, but the ability to circumvent so many of them with magic/alchemy more than made up for it. Oblivion and Skyrim somewhat improved the gameplay, but they removed the option to become a god through exploiting magic.

          And Morrowind removed mechanics from Daggerfall, like climbing walls and giving yourself perks and flaws at character creation.

          And Arena before that had a spell to pass through walls. That broke things infinitely worse than levitation ever did!
