Ah yes, intelligence enhancement spells. I like to call this a "Morrowind Singularity." Drink intellect enhancing potion: craft another, better, intellect enhancing potion. Repeat until incredibly intelligent. Craft special weapon using enhanced intellect, defeat boss in a single hit.
Does that actually work?
(I can't decide whether that would mean Morrowind's game mechanics are broken, or just really awesome.)
Yes, and both.
It is also possible to increase your jumping to such a high level that you jump across the continent in one leap. However, the spell wears off before you have crossed halfway, so you have to refresh it just before landing in order to not die on impact.
Awesome!
I've never played Morrowing but now it seems like a good way to spend future vacation time.
I believe there's a video of a speed run done that way somewhere on the internet.
It took less than 15 minutes to beat the game, if memory serves me.
http://speeddemosarchive.com/Morrowind.html has a ~14 minute speed run that has as one step 'Create and drink Fortify Intelligence in batches of 5'. That it?
Yes, it does work, and the answer to the latter question is arguably "both".
