Steam will no longer work for me, it can't update itself properly and I don't know why. I can't play until I fix this.

Unfortunate news. I got Morrowind to work again, but my save data is gone. I'll have to start again, argh.

Well, whatever. Now that I have a hang of the game, are there any mods I should use? I'd like a faster run speed if possible, and maybe some general gameplay improvements?

For the speed : http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8163

The unofficial patch is a necessity, the Morrowind Code Patch as well, both posted in the first page of the topic.

MCP has some gameplay improvements, like allowing you to cast spells without having to sheathe your weapon.

Is archery viable? Or will it just get me killed?

At low level it'S not really good since you miss a ton, but at high level it's godly.

Basically you shoot so hard that enemies fall on their knees more often than not thus allowing you to shoot them a second time, this time for x2 damage.

Is light armor or heavy armor the way to go for an archer? Is sneaking worth it? Any other useful skills for one besides speechcraft? Is restoration actually worth the effort?

--

you can make a sneak character with heavy armor, but I do believe some penalties exist. I prefer light armor for most characters, but i love making a battlemage type in morrowind

There's a penalty for wearing heavy boots.

Light armor is the best overall, good defense at high level and extremely light.

A full set of the best heavy armor weighs like 354, at 100 strength you can only carry 500, can be boosted sure but it's still 60% of your space taken by your armor alone.

Sneaking is good but really hard to get to useable level, pair it with illusion magic if you want to use it. Chameleon + Sneak is great.

Restoration isn't really good because there's alchemy, casting spells takes time, drinking potions doesn't.

Does a full set of heavy armor really weigh that much? I remember it maybe taking up half of my weight around lvl 6 or so

Daedric yes.

Iron and Steel weight much less.

You put them in the Data Files folder.

The MCP goes in the Morrowind folder, it's an .exe

There are multiple folders in the Data Files folder, but also some .bsa and .esm files. Also: The Morrowind folder as in the folder that contains Data Files and MWUninstall?

You just put them in the Data Files folder, nowhere else.

Otherwise read the readme.txt, they tell you all that.

And yeah, the Morrowind folder as in the folder that contains Data Files.

In the Morrowind Patch Project folder I downloaded, I've got three folders (Icons, Meshes, Textures) and a file (Morrowind-Patch v1.6.5-BETA.esm). Do I throw all of it in the Data Files folder, so I add these new folders entirely?

So tell me... is it worth it to try a mage? I'm talking full-out willpower/intelligence, destruction, restoration, alteration, and so on.

It's not easy but it's totally doable.

You NEED alchemy though because them magicka potion will be your savior.

Unless you download the '' Fair Magicka Regen '' mod, it's totally balanced and makes playing a mage bearable.

Alright, just tell me this, would a willpower/strength character who focuses on spells that improve his fighting abilities, and wears light armor, be viable? I need speechcraft and security as major skills, the game is too annoying without them. So I'm thinking long blade/light armor/alteration/sneaking/speechcraft? Would that work?

--

Started: July 6, 2005

Yeah it'd work well.

But Speechcraft is useless if you have Illusion magic.

Charm makes people like you more, Frenzy makes them attack you so you can pull the self-defense card every time you feel like murdering someone in town.

Charm does what? I just cast it on someone and he likes me?

Pretty much, if you cast a Charm 30pt on touch the guy will like you 30pts more for the duration of the spell.

So you make a spell with a high magnitude that lasts like 1 second and you enter conversation as soon as the spell hits.
