Morrowind experiences

[Eroberer]

Hey, I'll go ahead and ask this here I guess. Why in the hell is my speed going down? It's not that I'm loaded, and I just used an Exclusive Restore Speed potion, and nothing happened. I swore I saw it up at 237 once, but it was down at 226 for a while, and I just got conclusive evidence that's shrinking, because it's at 207! It's a noticable difference!

I'm pretty sure that Daedric shrines have only one or two types of demons in them (not counting Atronochs), because I've never seen a Golden Saint or Winged Twilight in the same shrine as a Dremora or Daedroth. I think I read in a book that each demon has certain types of daedra associated with it, but I'm not sure--anybody else read a book saying something along those lines?

Is your speed showing up in red? You might have a disease or something. Try getting blessed at a shrine just to be on the safe side.

[Eroberer]

I really don't know about the different deadra.

I dunno what happened to be to lower my speed. I had been fighting so many magical creatures around the island, but I don't know why they'd just target my speed. I ended up taking off the boots of blinding speed, and applying several potions. This did indeed raise my speed up from 7 (which was marked in red), to 40. I now run much much faster!

I ran into a Golden Saint, Hunger, and a Clan Fear all in the same room. Further down I ran into a Draemor, and a Storm Atronoch. Then further underground I ran into 2 Twilights, a Dremora, and 2 Daedroth (crocodile heads). Plus I only had 3 great soul gems (the largest one), and no grand soul gems (the second largest). I would have had fun in there.

This is all in the ruins by Gnisis. Plus they have a large number of ebony and daerdric weapons.

[loinburger]

Was there a shrine in those ruins? (Like a demon's statue or whatever have you)

[November Adam]

maybe, there was a pit of fire with a corpse speared to a stallacite above it. kinda morbid actually.

Found a neat bug in the x-box version, don't know if it works in the PC version.

The only way to enchant an item with a constant effect is using a grand soul gem with a golden saint.

Now heres the bug, if you equip the grand soul gem (with the saint), change the effect to constant, you can than switch the gem with ANY other gem, and it will keep the constant effect. Dirty aint it.

Question. which item has the most slots available for enchantment? The equisite ring has 120, does any other item beat this?

Also are different enchanters able to add different effects with a lower overall slot requirement, than other enchanters?

Enchanters can only enchant items with spell effects that you know so the more spells you learn the more variety of item enchantments.

Here's an interesting question I haven't seen anyone on the web answer (or ask, for that matter).

Has anyone decoded the code book from Sottilde? I took a copy before I gave it to Eydis Fire-Eye, and it looks like a simple monoalphabetic substitution cipher, but I can't be bothered to work it out.

For whatever reason, I didn't even bother to look at it.

But maybe it would help with other books that can't be deciphered.

[Eroberer]

Heh, Chowlett, I copied it down, too. I highly doubt that a translation will come for a while, though. If you want though...you know you get that letter to the Spymaster in coded and decoded form, although I never even tried to read the coded version.

The non-Grand Soul Gem constant effect does not seem to work after the patch. It did apparently work before.

damn, i must be missing out on a lot of cool stuff, i'm playing a character who is rather bad at magic.
I started reading manual yesterday, and also read about alchemy, didn't know it was important...

I'm basically going for sneak and security.

[Lemmy]

anyone know how i can get to Hla Oad?
i have to get there for a quest for the thieves guild, but the location doesn't show at the stilt strider or mage guild.
I'm currentrly in Balmora.

[Chowlett]

You'll have to walk. Don't trust the directions folk in Balmora give you, according to the map they're lying (they say head west to the coast, and then North. Hla Oad is South).

And yeah, you might not be able to cast, but I can't sneak for anything. On the other hand, I can unlock doors up to level 50...
