seriously tho, thats pretty embarassing. I totally though I had Short Blades cause I almost always use daggers or short swords, no matter the character. Unless its an archer (Never been one for the BIG SMASHY GUY).

Oh well. I use enchanted daggers anyway, I think I'm going poison with this current one, although I might go my usual route of enchanting it with Drain Life. Or something else altogether.

Absorb Health do it !

Or do something like, Damage Strength. Hit until your opponent can't move and kill him with ranged spells !

hmm, I ALWAYS enchant with Absorb Health, like 95% of the time. Its my favorite enchant to put on a weapon.

maybe Paralyze

http://www.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Untitled-3.gif

Ah ! You said Drain Health so I was confused.

You could do something like. '' Invisibility for 5 second on self ''

Though I guess it would just make the enemies go bat**** insane.

Saw this topic a little while ago, and I actually started a new character about a couple weeks ago (xbox). This game is actually so goddamn fun. I got Oblivion a while back, but I never got into that game like I did with Morrowind. Looking forward to Skyrim when it comes out too.

My character (Obould Many-Arrows) is level 9 right now, and going through various guilds. Haven't touched the main quest yet, aside from talking to Caius initially. Because I'm bored and just turned on the game again, here's my character and everything related:

Name: Obould Many Arrows
Race: Orc
Specialization: Combat
Sign: The Lady (yeah, outta character, but I liked the buffs)
Level: 9

Major Skills:

Security: 35
Short Blade: 30
Destruction: 33
Heavy Armor: 60
Blunt Weapon: 44

Minor Skills:

Long Blade: 29
Speechcraft: 28
Marksman: 18
Athletics: 34
Acrobatics: 28

Guilds:

Thieves: Blackcap (done all of Habasi and Aengoth's quests)
Temple: Novice (just joined, will get the pilgrimage done later)
Fighters: Swordsman (done all of Eydis Fire-Eye's quests)
Blades: Novice
Imperial Legion: Knight Errant (done all of Darius and Radd's quests)
Mages: Evoker (done all of Ajira and Ranis's quests)

Basing this character off of one from a book series. It's not completely accurate, but it's close. Man this game is awesome.

Overpowered? Pfft. I STILL WANT MORE POWER! To zip across Morrowind in only a few seconds, to pickpocket without any hassle (Seriously, what's up with pickpocketing in this game?), to enchant without failure without chugging potions!

Anyway, I'm playing...

Name: Zhien Drek Longheart
Race: Argonian (DRAGONS! Well, lizard, but who cares)
Spec: Stealth
Sign: Atronach (never tried Atronach, wanted to see if it's as good as they say.)
Favored attributes: Strength & Endurance

Majors:
Axe
Blunt
Block
Heavy Armor
Armorer

Minor:
Long Blade
Enchant
Alteration
Restoration
Mysticism

The skill choice has little bearing on how I play though. Most of the time I stealth or jump then stab down with my spear like a Dragoon.

Hmmm.. Which house is the most fun between Hlaalu and Redoran (keep it spoiler free please !)

I might join one of the two (Already did Telvanni, which is totally awesome).

--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lo0qD6rOz8

You can do both, actually. Once you become Hlaalu Hortator and you're in another house (say, Redoran), if you talk to Duke Vedam Dren he'll name you grandmaster of House Hlaalu in one of the topics, Orvas Dren, I believe. Then you can do the quests, IIRC.

Me, I just installed a mod that let me join all 3.

If you just want to join 1, I like the idea of Redoran, basically warriors with a code. Stronghold wise, I like Redoran's better, but Hlaalu's is pretty close to Balmora. Plus, in Hlaalu, you can actually do Morrowind a huge favor in the final quest.

I'd rather play the game the way it's intended, and I have the Morrowind Code Patch as well as the Morrowind Patch Project on my game so this bug probably doesn't exist anymore.

I'll go Hlaalu I think. fits my character more, basically a thief with a hatred for slavery.

--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lo0qD6rOz8

I think technically, Redoran would work best for my character. But man. Telvanni has always been my choice. Sick rewards, unreal stronghold (though the location is slightly annoying), I've always chosen it. Will be hard to shy away from it this time, not sure if I'll do it yet or not...

Telvanni's stronghold is super awesome, but man is it a ***** to get there

I don't know if Hlaalu is really a good fit for someone who hates slavery though. Sure, one specific person who gives you a small handful of business for Hlaalu is vehemently anti-slavery, but Hlaalu is very much about exploitation of others and embraces Imperial points of view, and the legitimacy of slavery is one of those. Though yes, one of those last Hlaalu quests that Duke Dren gives, depending on how you do it, deals major blows to slavery in Morrowind.

I think I'll still go with Hlaalu, they're the house with the most influence. I mean freaking Helseth is Hlaalu.

I want to be part of the strongest house !

As for me I'm done with the Balmora Hlaalu Quests.. so half-full glass armor at level 4, wooh !

--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lo0qD6rOz8

I think it was part of the Birthsign maybe? It had something called "Ebony Dagger" but I could never find it to see what it did.

Then I noticed a random Ebony Dagger in my inventory that I didn't remember getting.

I got mostly imperial templar armor, with imperial steel boots and pauldrons, steel tower shield, and the masque of clavicus vile (sp?). Doing the imperial legion quest that'll take me to that daedric ruin northwest of Hla Oad though, so maybe something will show up there!

Not changing this sig until the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the grey cup. Started Aug. 16/04

Goddamnit, I want to make a new character.. I think I'll make an Illusionit, something like this :

Race : Dunmer
Favored Attributes : Personality, Agility
Birthsign : Thief

Major Skills : Illusion, Short Blade, Marksman/Destruction, Security, Sneak
Minor Skills : Unarmored, Block, Alchemy, Mysticism, Alteration

I know Block doesn't make alot of sense there, but I really love blocking in Morrowind.

Only real upgrade from that daedric place was my new orc warhammer, which replaces my steel one. Now to Assumanu to get some token of some sort, and it's in the middle of nowhere. I love how this is kind of becoming a semi-playthrough topic for a few people.

Note to myself : If you use Better bodies do no fight naked men who use hand-to-hand when family members are close, because you'll have a close up of said naked men dicks if you fall down.

Also started again, but not really with an Illusionit character, something else entierly.

Bumping with more inequalities !

Races :

Dunmer > Bosmer (Females) > Nord = Argonian > Khajiit > Altmer > Redguard > Orc > Imperial > Breton >>>> Bosmer (Males)

Dunmers and Female Bosmers are pretty damn awesome, they fit my playstyle the best too. Next are Nords and Argonians, I love them too but mostly because of their culture and the Argonians have some kind of charm imo. Last of the races I care about are Altmers.. I would totally play one but the crippling weaknesses and low starting strength make it really really hard. The other races I don't care much about. Also I really hate male Bosmers.

Major cities :

Balmora > Caldera > Vivec > Sadrith Mora > Ald Ruhn > Suran > Gnisis > Ebonheart

Balmora #1 for obvious reasons. Easy to get there, your first destination in the Main Quest, where you go back to after almost every part of the Main Quest, lots of services all close to one another. This city is home to me ! Caldera and Vivec are next, Caldera has something special about it, it's a really well done town and I like it a lot. Vivec gets a lot of hate for being confusing and too big but I really like it, there are tons of things to do and see and I have yet to see it all, it's just so big, but it's great that way. Ebonheart so low is just because the city feel pretty empty, there's not a whole lot to do in there if you don't join the imperial factions. Still love the town though !

Done with Morrowind. Man, it's a good thing I had that high of strength, assaulting Dagoth Ur and the citadels around it gave me lots of crap to haul around. Done with all factions and the main quest, along with all quests that give reputation (though apparently I'm missing 1 point. Oh well, 172 fame is enough). Time to go to Mournhold and start Tribunal!

Already done it! But man, keeping everybody alive is a hassle.

There was this one time I swam to Firemoth before I had the quest, since I was wondering what that island was. Then I went and swam to Solstheim because I was curious again XD

--
My Little Phineas and Ferb: Summer is Magic!

Scamp is awesome though I don't go out of my way to use it, if I happen to have loot to sell while I'm in Caldera I'll go there, but only if I don't have stuff to buy too.

You should consider downloading Tamriel Rebuilt after you're done with Tribunal and Bloodmoon, it adds a landmass roughly as big as Vvardenfell with quests and stuff.

First two maps are completely Telvanni centered though, so expect wizards and mushrooms.

I don't know, it seems pretty sure that it will pass Oblivion but stuff like Fast travel and the Magic compass are back so my hype level is dwindling. Still, if they make the compass not the only way to get **** done then it could be alright. Gameplay looks great at least !

I heard that the compass in Skyrim will be different, like you have to cast a spell to be able to see it or something like that.

And yeah FIremoth is ****ing fun as hell, especially if you're strong enough to kill a skeleton in one arrow shot. It is so satisfying to pick off a huge group of them one by one from a distance. I wish there were more dungeons like that place in the game. I've never managed to keep any of the people alive though, I can keep them safe up until the very last fight and then they just get demolished by the boss. I think one of them actually gets one-shotted by the spells.
