TES III Morrowind - Jerimar Ulfricsson Pt. 3 | Mantle Challenge

Since video names can only have 100 characters I've decided to name my self-imposed ruleset as 'Mantle challenge', a reference to how beings in ESO mantle aedra, daedra, and ada in general, our player character is in many ways mantling us, the player (if you know, you know).

Rules are as follows:
Hardcore: permadeth, no deaths, etc. When my character dies, that's it.
Unguided: No looking stuff up, if I the player get stuck, our character needs to solve the issue in game, just like how other daedra ask mortals for favours.
Role Playing: decisions must be made in line with character RP, and character experience must be considered.
Character knowledge only: the character must learn information in game themselves, I can't impose my game knowledge on them.

Other basic gameplay restrictions: no alch loops, no busted enchants, no save-scumming, and I'm gradually adding some more as we go.

Gampeplay Mods! The major gameplay mods at work here are:
MULE - The MULE is a levelling overhaul which replaces the level-up screen (and it's perverse, backwards requirements on the player) with an out-of mind background levelling experience. Skills give attributes, attributes give character levels, character levels give some HP and a pip of luck.
Locks and Traps Detection - LaTD adds some randomization to traps around the world, and hides information about traps and lock-levels from the player. Increasing Security, Intelligence, and Luck increases your likelyhood to identify traps, and recognise lock levels.
Talking Trains Speechcraft - as it says on the tin, gain a trickle of Speechcraft XP from talking with NPCs in the world. It's a similar levelling speed to Athletics, chat with enough people and you'll notice a little level come along every now and then.
Quest extensions - A few Mods which add vanilla-esque quests to the game, such as the AFFresh early game quest expansion.
Economy - Traders have more gold, and I've added a high-alchemy style spell called Chrysopoeia, which I've edited further to deal minor player damage. The complete lack of merchant capital and subsequent inability to move any items through the 'vast riches' or Hlallu, East Empire Trading, etc is a huge ludonarrative hole, and frankly bartering loops are just bad content for both me and viewers.
Armours and Aesthetics - A few mods to add even more of the good stuff. None of it's broken, it just looks really cool.
Weapon skills - Added 1-handed spears, and updated the Markspan accuracy equation to include a Distance term and Stability term.

Playing Morrowind the way I like it. Since I'm trying to stream (or hang out in a stream) while I game lately, this playthough is going up for the YTs.

I like streams that I can fall asleep to, so I have balanced my audio and game sound with that in mind. Apologies in advance in anything ever slips though. I have used compression and limited to hopefully make it so that the video should never get louder, even if i get fairly excited the dB should be somewhat flat.
