Just started it. For now done working for the Fighters Guild. Have you some advice?

I played this game for a while. Unfortunately i dropped it because It chugged on my laptop, so my experience with morrowind wasent entirely pleasant.

Although, ideally i liked it. I liked the idea of a 3D RPG and this one was atmospheric and detailed. I quit the game before the screen would melt off my computer, but all i rememeber from it was wandering around, doing random quests, fighting Dark Elves in their little caves and looting. ooooh the looting.

I would loot everything. I was the daddy when i aquired some imperial armour.

As for guilds. I had to go all the way north in some stupid village to join the imperial guild. (i was pretending to play as a Roman).

As for advice. I have a few. Before going into a fight or quest make sure you have a back up plan, because if you notice that its too hard, youll find yourself in a rather shitty situation.

yea, not much advise, really. I usually stick around Seyda Neen for a little bit, until I've gotten some loot and maybe levelled a few things. Everything is hard as hell during that part of the game. Then head to the town (forget the name) and do quests out of there. I recommend doing the side quests first. At least, a lot of them. If you try to progress too far in the main storyline without being a high enough level, you may run into serious difficulties.

I'm not a great fan of it, but the only advice I can give is save often, and back the saves up even more often. With the game's size, they apparently become corrupt stupidly easy.

I've never had a save get corrupt. Musta been lucky. But yes, definetely save! Sucks to lose a couple hours of gameplay... :(

Never had saves corrupt either, except for when I used a bad plugin. :)


Best advice GFreeman is to learna few spells:

->Mark
->recall
->alsivmi and divine intervention
->levitate

And in combination with levitate, try to find the boots of blinding speed as fast as you can...that will increase the gameplay speed a LOT.

I never figured out how to use those boots without, well, losing my vision.

Morrowind's idea of magic resistance is a lot more logical than in other games, so you can just cast a protection from magic spell/equip an item that has MR before equipping the boots: the negative effects will be partially or completely negated, resulting in a blurred or clear view; and the positive effects (speed increase) will still come through. :)

bastards. Ah well. oh, btw, don't ever alchemy stack! Alchemy stacking can have very bad consequences.

What is alchemy stacking, you ask? Well, good question.

The alchemy skill lets you make potions to do what magic spells can do, basically. Except, you can make potions to increase your stats for making potions. So, you dink that potion, then you make a more powerful potion of the same type. And drink that. Etc etc etc. Each generation, the power increases and the duration increases.

My last character was in the tens of thousands in all his stats, with duration in the millions of seconds. IE, I was invincible. Assuming you have the ingredients, a brand new character could beat the game.

But...it's no fun. No challenge. Plus I made hte mistake of eating some moon sugar (trying to get rid of it, didn't wanna waste it) and my super boosted stats ended up increasing its effects by a huge margin. Such that I couldn't move, because a single step or two would warp me half way across the world. :/ So, be warned.

Sounds like that game is awfully unbalanced.
Author:  Satis [ Fri Oct 01, 2004 8:57 am ]
Post subject: 
It is extremely unbalanced. At higher levels, there's no challenge at all except maybe fighting a 'god'. It shouldn't be that easy. But the RPG elements are terrific. A huge world, chocked full of quests, with beautiful visuals. well, not so impressive any more, but still nice. The ambiance, voice acting, music, everything is top-notch, IMO.

That about sums it up...any RPG-loving gamer should have played Morrowind, and preferrably the whole Elder Scrolls series from Arena on, even if that might be a bit tedious by now. :) LOL@ moon sugar Satis...sounds like one hell of a trip.

For a few hours you should jump all the time while moving :D
Author:  Satis [ Tue Oct 05, 2004 6:01 am ]
Post subject: 
yep, agreed there. Always jump,especially up hills. If you have nothing better to do, swim for awhile (like, quite awhile). If you're into magic, make a spell in your school of interests it with virtually no drain (and no damage or whatever) and just cast it over and over again to practice.

Well, too early. I started it past few days. First time I sucked is on the quest with Necromancer in Vas bacause I haven't used help of fighter who should help me on that quest. So, I and only I got the job done but no one take notice of that. No reward, no promotion to the higher title because I havent spoke to the dammit fighter before that. Bugs allways suck!

Lol @ Satis' worldjumping.
