npc's won't talk with me because "they don't like me"

[zielony oficer]

i am in mages guild and I just got this double quest for persuading npc to join mages guild and take off the loan of other npc who lives on the way to first npc
and the thing is I just found one of them (the one which I have to introduce to my guild or kill) and during the first encouter he wont talk with me! neither any npc around! what could be the reason then?

You need to get there disposition to 70 or above.
Either make a short duration "fortify personality" spell or use Telvanni Musk Oil or any other fortify personality potions or use speechcraft.

Make sure you do not have any disease which will affect disposition of npc's towards you.

[ReBootXD]

Npcs also don’t like it when you talk to them with a weapon drawn and their disposition will be lowered unless you sheath it

give some money to them.
more than 100

Or for npcs of house Telvanni, join Telvanni and raise your rank can help.

OP, what exactly is the response you get when you try to talk to somebody? If the person's Disposition is good, but the only response you get is along of the lines of "I don't want to talk to you! Go away!", then you might want to check to see if your character's sick. Bring up the Magic menu and look in the top row; all diseases or magical effects that're currently affecting your character are described there.

I have to check if I am sick because I was on long trip betwen first mags guild and caves where I am supossed to convice other mag to join our guild or simply kill him and take loan off other character on the way there; and i was fighting with mage/necromancer and assasin on my long way there so maybe something happened according to this..

there are 4 npcs and every starts with smt like "We dont want your kind around here" or "I dont like you go away"
2 of them (excluding main mages guild quest character) say something like this and conversation is done without any of mine replies with other i can try to ask about smt and then they respond with something like please leave me alone

I can't even ask some of them about who they are neither about rumours recently

[Baka Mitai]

Yeah, those people are Telvanni and they don't like you because you're with the mages guild. If your character has low personality you won't be able to do that quest without a boost like a fortify personality potion or spell.

In addition to all that - try Charm spell. It temporarily increases the target's disposition to you. It may give you a reaction when NPC allows to continue a dialog so you can use bribery for example. Or just make your business right away if effect of the spell is already enough.

As far as I remember they're random NPCs not needed to complete the quest, so why bother.
If you like me just like to talk to random NPCs, invest into illusion and speechcraft. You can even befriend random bandits, vampires and ash ghouls. Sometimes you may find interesting dialogues.

wow thats nice to know
and no they are not random npcs, I have specific quest from mages guild with 2 of them

[Lobo de hielo]

If playing mage just make a "Fortify Personality 100 pts for 3 seconds" spell. It is all you will need for the entire game for these types of situations and for talking to just about anyone.
It is all I have ever needed for those 2 quests when playing mage.

[zielony oficer]

I managed to handle that already, thanks for help (I didn't handled it fully but its only because my character is not strong enough yet)

Everyday when I play a bit I get only more and more concerns

Most important is there any spell guide or something? Because I wanted to buy some new spells via my 1700 coins and I don't relly get their descpritions; the worst part are some spells with *specific* names and more **specific** icons without further descriptions. I ended up confused 3 times already and tried to progress thru story as much as I can with my already build

Mods. I started configuring mpa? mpa i guess - only to findout that some links are overdated and some discusion about opemw vs mpa from about 2015 and now I am wondering are the mods worth of picking up? and if yes which one and why?

[Lobo de hielo]

This is a link to all the spell effects in game. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Spells
To find out more, an example "Swift Swim". Click on the spell effect and it takes you to which spells have that effect in game. Click on Swift Swim again, the one above the 2 spells, this takes you to a page explaining what it does and how it works.

You are talking about Mcp not Mpa?
If so then you need that to use Mwse (Morrowind Script Extender). Now this all comes down to what type of mods you would like. There is a UI Expansion mod which improves the UI considerably.
Do you want to rename your soul gems so they all group together? Do you want to have moveable storage?
There are a lot (I mean a lot of mods).
There is a Modathon every year, where you get some great mods, from QoLs' to some fantastic dungeons, quests, textures. Go to Nexus, click on "explore all mods"(right hand side a little way down), goto "refine results", in "tags must include" start typing modathon, you can now check all the best mods from the last few years, just click on which one to check through.
In description of the mod it will say if it needs Mcp/ Mwse or OpenMW, if not there it can be used in Vanilla.
If you find mods you like and want to have, then check the requirements. Now you can decide Mcp/Mwse or OpenMW.

Intended way to learn what spells do is via game manual. Or trial and error as most people do. Also I think some NPCs talk about magic schools.
Theres an option to not use MCP nor OpenMW, only MGE for screen res support.

For screen res support one doesn't need even MGE. One can set desirable resolution using Windows Registry Editor.
