Morrowind experiences

[November Adam]

I just recently rented this game for the X-Box, and a small piece of me died when I returned it.

Guess I'm going to have to buy it.

Anyways this thread is to tell about some of your experiences, and ambitions with this game.

I'm thinking I would like to create a hunter/alchemist class. Basically it would be an alchemist who prefers to find their own ingredients as opposed to purchasing them. This class would have Alchemy, Shortsword, Marksman, Light Armour, and Mercantile as it's major skills. Mercantile because they would sell their product. (granted this one may or may not stay).

What do you think?

[JohnIII]

I would go for Medium Armour over Light Armour, but other than that it looks good. Mercantile and Speechcraft go hand-in-hand in my experience: butter someoen up, then you get even better prices.

[November Adam]

Well I figured a hunter type would be more inclined to the mobility of light armour.

As for speech craft I was thinking as a minor skill. As the hunter wouldn't really be the greatest at this, as those sligs really aren't to interested in convo.

Although I was thinking Illusion might be a good minor skill as well, cause invisibility, and chameleon would really come in handy.

I was thinking of creating a potion book through trial and error. They are probably allready out there, but I think it would be fun.

You're probably right about Speechcraft, I just love being an Imperial Pilgrim so much .

The light armour thing is what I thought, too, but if you have decent strength then go for Medium. It is far better than Light.

I have found loads of Chameleon rings, you get one worth 12000 (that is pretty useless, but still) when you do a certain quest.

[November Adam]

Ya I found that ring too, its not too useless, use it when you sneak it seems to help.

[JohnIII]

I should mention that I found a more powerful one worth 246, so it is useless to me.

maybe i'm the exception to the rule, but morrowind was really great for me until i got to about level 10. after that any semblance of challenge in combat ended. which really makes me have a hard time still having fun playing morrowind. so while there are many things to do non-combat related everything in the game revolves around combat more or less(armor, swords, potions, magic, stats, quests, etc). i don't regret buying it but the gameplay really could use some tweakage in the upcoming patch for higher level characters(10+). btw, it took about 20hrs to get to level 10 for me as a warrior type character.

I do loads of quests using only Speechcraft...

Yeah, Morrowind has only 3 problems.

1. The few bugs in it.
2. CLIFFRACERS
3. How easy the game becomes as you get a high level/good eq.

Cliffracers should be the number 1 problem.

[FrustratedPoet]

What are Cliffracers and why are they such a big problem?

Big birds that constantly attack you while you walk between cities. Easy to kill but quite annoying.

[ChaotikVisions]

They're one of the monsters you encounter while travelling. I'd say you encounter 1 every 30 seconds or less. Its not that they're hard to kill, infact once you're a decent level 1 or 2 hits wipes em out. Its the fact that there are SO MANY of them and they fly around doing dumb crap for ages. They will circle you endlessly just to try one hit from the back that probably won't even go through, its just dumb. As for the real numbers, theres over 1000 of them in the game.

[FrustratedPoet]

OK thanks, I get it ... they do sound very annoying.

[JohnIII]

I don't run into them that often at all .
