Hey, just wanting to know what sort of character you're using in Morrowind? And what do you think the best race and attributes are? Also, what sort of daring feats is your fella up to?

My first proper character (one I actually kept using) was called Dagorian, he was an Imperial with basically warrior skills, but having useful things like mercantile and speechcraft as minors. The missions I completed with him were the Legion missions (believe me, you get some very rewarding items when you finish that!) and the Redoran missions. I started the main quest, but I figured the game was about Morrowind, the Dunmer homeland so IF the main quest is about dunmer, I'd have a dark elf. So....

I created one named Talisman. Initially he was a warrior like Dagorian, but wearing full glass, but then I found an Assassins guild and saw folk in some nifty treads, so I trained up in unarmoured and grabbed myself a bow and set about doing some contract killings. Right now I'm picturing him as a sort of hunter/assassin, because I go out on sudden whims into the wild to try and wipe out ALL the cliffracers (Damn them, Damn them all to hell!!!!). So, what are your characters like?

I have a Dark Elf named Vahlak, originally pretty hellbent on being a mage. He still is, being pretty high up in the Mage Guild rankings, but now is also practicing using short swords and shields. Right now he's going to begin looking for a Sixth House base, which he's supposed to wipe out. At the same time he has a couple of missions from the Mage Guild...he needs to catch an Ash Zombie's soul (easier said than done) and (*sigh*) find out what happened to the Dwarves.

He has 3 weapons: Firebrand, a short sword that also does fire damage; Soul Drinker, a dagger that automatically Soul Traps the victim in whatever soul gems are available; and some elaborately named bow taken from an Ashlander chieftain's equally elaborate tomb. He's pretty terrible with the bow, but is working on it.

The best part is that Vahlak was attacked recently by assassins from the Dark Brotherhood. He survived and kill both assassins, so is now wearing all Dark Brotherhood gear...he looks like a tripped-out Dunmer ninja.

I have Tribunal installed (hence the Dark Brotherhood) and plan on getting Bloodmoon when it comes out.

I played through the game the first time as a boring standard fighter/mage.. a very uber character. It got boring real soon. The next time, I made a woodelf custom class thief... I used unarmored instead of light armor, because glass armor is so overpowered in the game, and besides, it didn't look very thief-ish to me. With this character, the game was so much fun! For the first time since level 1 with my old character, some fights were actually a challenge. I kept getting killed by cliff racers, even after hitting level 10. It was a blast, I got so much more out of the game, playing it this way. I also found most of the thief type quests (thieves guild and house hlaalu) much more fun and rewarding than any of the typical fighter and mage quests. Of course I ended up being overpowered anyway, when my sneak skill hit 100 and so on.. and that's when I stopped playing. but up until that point I had much more fun than I had with my previous character.

I guess thats what mods are for, there are multiple armor correction mods out there, almost all of which decrease the power of glass armor, and increase the medium specs a fair amount, due to the somewhat pathetic armor class that they gave you.

Sorry if im sounding really strange, im kinda feeling ill, and tired (although ive been awake for two hours) :sick:

I am also playing a fighter/mage, and although my dude has some kickass spells and high mage skills I have noticed that I rarely use my magic except for enchanting things and the occasional fireball because it is fun. Most of the time I just run around wacking things with my swords, one souldrinking dai-katana that also does 40-50 damage to health, one strenghtdraining daedric claymore that do 10pt fire damage, one ebony longsword with kickass frost damage, one glasslongsword that does some poison damage and the sword of white woe that drains health. I have noticed that you need a bunch of swords with you or else all their charges are soon used up.

He is incredible overpowered but I like the godlike feeling, especially the godlike feeling you get out of a ring enchanted with constant levitate for easy traveling and allowing you to look down on everyone. He is a breton as I thought that all the other races looked incredible ugly.
It would have been nice if the enemies would have scaled up in difficulty depending on your level, it is not very fun to not be the least afraid of ascended sleepers and golden saint. But you truly feel like an avenging god when you fly through caverns of horror striking down every monster and evil wizard with almost a mere glance. :D

Btw what are the best heavy and medium armours? I dont want to run around in silly glass armour, it is ugly.

the best medium is Indoril(the armor that the ordinators wear), the best standard heavy would be daedric... but there are rare artifacts with higher armor rate.

Any idea where I can find daedric? I saw that the wizard that heads the corposorium had some but after I killed him the game said that the prophecy had been severed and there was no point in going on. That was after he had given me the cure.

Ah, I'm playing a kick-ass Nord warrior.. He's a master of weapons and he's just about to learn a bit o' magic! ;)

I hate the nord NPCs with their stereotypical scottish voices that are really ****!

Any idea where I can find daedric? I saw that the wizard that heads the corposorium had some but after I killed him the game said that the prophecy had been severed and there was no point in going on. That was after he had given me the cure. You can find daedric in several other places in the game... Just play the main quest, and it will bring you most pieces, if you look around. There is also a quest for the mad sorceress in the Telvanni that gives you some VERY nice daedric stuff. :cool:

Also, You can safely kill divayth fyr now, if he has given you the corprus cure. It seems like an evil thing to do, but it won't mess up your main quest, so don't let that stop you. He has the only (AFAIK) daedric pauldrons in the game, so if you want a complete set of daedric, you'll have to kill him.

I changed my guy again , he now wears full indoril, except for the greaves, though I don't think you can get those, anybody know any different?

If you wear induril armour the Vivec guards will attack you in sight for dishonering their uniform or something.

Yeah, but I read somewhere that if you are become a Knight in a great house you actually become an Ordinator, not sure if thats true though

slightly off topic but I hope its ok.

Should I buy Morrowind on x-box or P.C (I've got a 1150 mhz processor and 512RAM +64mb graphics card)

I'm worried about performance because Never Winter Nights is really sluggish even on the worst graphics settings :confused:

With that computer you should not have any problem with either NWN or Morrowind, check your settings and configurations. I would recommend you buying Morrowind for PC though if you think you can run it, you can then patch it and it is a game that is made for PC so the controls will feel alot more natural I reckon.

Buy morrowind on pc. There will be no expansions for Xbox.. Tribunal has already been released, Bloodmoon is coming this spring. You don't want to miss out on those!

And Indoril armor isn't a complete set, some pieces just don't exist. So the ordinators are actually unarmed in some areas. And no, you will never be "allowed" to wear indoril, though at a few points in the game you're more of less "given" a set... I think it's the breastplate/cuirass part that triggers the ordinators... hmm, or is it the helmet? either way, they won't attack you if you just have it in your inventory, so a good way to stay safe is to simply unequip those two before you go into vivec.

I am a level 17 Dark Elf Warlock(my custom made fighter mage class)
I was actually well on my way to becoming a high ranking member of the Mage guild, but I was bitten my a vampire and grew myself a nice pair of fangs.
I killed an innocent dude because i needed health, so I became expelled from the Guild :(
I recently ventured to Dubdilla south of Vos to kill the God, in Bal Ur's daughter.
As a reward he restored my mortality ;)
I am much weaker now but I like the sunlight better :D
I have recently been attacked by the Dark Brotherhood too, so I am on my way to Mournhold :)
I cant wait 'till i "accidentally" is bitten by a werewolf when Bloodmoon is released :D

By the way I had some intrepid adventuring companions (Ariela and some orc, both downloaded)but unfortunetely they had problems getting past stones and chairs, and their lives ended in the canals of Vivec when they didnt know how to get to the surface.

Its an interesting thing to be bitten by a vampire, but I was wondering what advantages/disadvantages they have?

I've always been tempted to become one, but apparently you can't level up when you are, so I'm waiting until i'm fully lvled up :D . Anyway, hope someone can provide some answers to the above question. Thanks!

Well depending on what clan you gets bitten by you get different advantages.
there is a clan that give you fighting skills, a clan that give you thief skills and a clan that gives you mage skills.
But when you are bitten by a vamprie no matter what clan you join you get +20 strength, a lot of points in acrobatics, and your armor and magic skills go up a lot too.
you also get a spell to drain health from your enemies.
People will also be more inclined to flee from you in battle.
the disadvantages are:
noone except the mage guild will talk to you, you will almost die instantly in sunlight, you take a lot of damage from fire, you dont gain health from sleeping and you will have nightmares every time you sleep.

and by the way you can level up.

I'm playing Morrowind for the second time now, and my character is a Redguard knight. I'm at level 76, pretty much invincible. All the mainattributes are at 100, and some even higher (strength 120, agility 130)

I prefer heavy armour, but sometimes i change into something different. (like a real gentleman should :D ) So i have a complete daedric outfit, and the Daedric dual wield katana's to go with it. That's a plugin, and the runesigns on the swords glow in the dark, pretty cool.

But i also have a complete glass outfit that i wear sometimes. And of course enchanted items like the boots of the apostle, cuirass of saviors hide.
I also carry the Daedric longbow. In combination with dreaded arrows it's the most deadly weapon in the game.

Once again my character has changed, he is now wearing full glass, and is mainly a fighter, where previously he was an assassin.

Those vampire advantages don't make up for the disadvantages, how can you stay out of day light!

I like to play with my custom Battlemage. I usually wield daikatana. I prefer this character since Daggerfall since he gained levels really fast and i liked creating my own spells. In Morrowind he also must have good alchemy skill to make great potions that i also use as "money". Since i don't like to steal... i don't use (develop) thief skills. (Even though i used to rob stores in daggerfall almost every night :) )

Oh, yes, and i usually play with Breton and Atronach since mana absorption is great and restoring mana while sleeping is too slow (and i have alchemy skill to make potions if i really need)

I am a Altmer Mage at level 79, wielding a Daedric Dai-Katana with a spell that heals 60hp every time i strike an opponent.
I have about 20 Golden Saint soulstones.

All Stats 100, Almost all skills 100. (3 missing: 80, 80, 50)
No cheating done, but got bored.

Morrowind works REALLY slow on my 1,6 ghz P4 computer with 64mb GeForce4 MX440, 256 memory, 40 G hd and WIN98SE.
Only the FPS improver gets it to run properly, but then i see "Invalid Page Fault" or "General Protection Error" all the time.

Got back to playing BG2 :)

I'm VERY interested in werewolf bite you can get above.

I'd like to play a druid kind of char with werewolf shapeshift ability.
So how does it work?

My brother recently made a new class for himself, a Redguard Ninja. All I can say is that it worked out very well.

I made a few Hitokiri classes, its some form of ninja, specially trained for asassination

For some reason, I am obsessed with all the rogue classes, eg Assassin, Thief, Acrobat

Atm, my fav character is a Khajeet (sp?) Thief. called Shadow. Wow! Aren't I just great at names. Anyway, I've been solidly doind the thief quests. And I've done all of them except the quests from the guy in Vivec.

Dark Elf Fighter/Mage
I forget the level he is now, but he really has no weak points and can slaughter through things. I killed Vivicc(sp?) fairly easy. Beat Tribunal a while back and ive searched every area on the map... done basicly every quest. Not going to play again until the new expansion is out.

I'm playing Iliith, a Dark Elf warior. I've only just begun playing Morrowind, so I'm at level 8 or something. I have 65 Long sword skill though. My character is real cool. He wears extravagant pants and shirt, and above he wears heavy armor and a nordic helm with horns, and above that all he wears a very long wizard robe in red and yellow. Extremely cool.

Ive gotta start a new character. My computer went pot, so my lvl 72 nord has been erased :wail:

Its really annoying having to go from scratch...

I am a Dark Elf assassin. i wear all glass armor, I use Keening for my weapon. i have completed every quest in the game. I pity all of your low level Chara. My chara is lvl 128.

the game sure is a challenga at level 128, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Indeed, as the calculated maximum level average is 77. There's no way to get to level 128 without cheating.

I finally got the game working! I made my character last night, a Redguard spellsword. I have not gone very far, but am amazed by what I have seen and am looking forward to the journey ahead.

I'm currently playing five characters. My favorite is a level 42? male Dunmer mage/warrior named Vhalidin DeVir. Took him all the way through Morrowind, and Tribunal as well as several mods. I've also got a female Dunmer warrior named Kalona T'Seraa, an Okan Ada (mod race) char, a Valheru (mod race) Battlemagish character, and a female Redguard vampire thief. Do you realize just how hard it is for a Redguard to become a vamp? Stupid 75% common disease resistance....

Incidentally, Vhalidin is the only character whom I've taken through the main quest at all. Everyone else just does other side and faction quests...

I've played countless characters like most end up doing, but my favorite right now is a Nord barbarian whose best abilities are hand-to-hand combat, unarmored, and alchemy.

Sounds stupid, don't it? I was sick of the game being easy and monotonous from over-playing, so I tried to spice it up by playing a character who is over-the-top. His name's Korgan, and he's based on one of my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns' player-characters - a really stupid drunk barbarian who did 1d10+7 at first level with his fists.

I never knew how much fun it would be to stop worrying about the law and the quests, and once in a while punch that annoying guard in the face, beat him down, take his armor and then get captured and taken to jail because you've spent twenty-thousand gold on mazte and skooma, and you can't afford the 40 gold payment. Wow. I didn't think hand-to-hand combat would be fun, but with this buff-ass, it's a blast.

Mostly I spend time just walking around. It's amazing what you find... i.e., wizards falling out of the sky with +1000 acrobatics scrolls in their hands...I love the scenery of Morrowind, and it's great seeing it while drunk.

My character is a dark elf mage.Well,he was a mage,now he's a fighter,and the game is kinda boring ;) .He's now lv. 53 and kills everything that moves.

@ idoru, beat the game, all the quests, and then got bored, so I used the cheats to make me even more of a god.

So you completed all the quests before cheating? Including all three houses? See, that's not possible without cheating. :evil:

There's a bug with wich you can join any house,and than the house Hluulu :roll:

@idoru Iwould complete one house, thn join anotherand get expelled from th house that I was already in, But I still competed all the quests. heh:

How can you get expelled from one house :confused: .If I do something against the house I will be thrown out of it,but still the other houses don't won't me to join them.

I got kicked out of a house, and then joined another house. It doesn't work on yours?

I got kicked out of a house, and then joined another house. It doesn't work on yours? No,I can do what I want (even kill people from the house I'm memeber of).If I do something bad it's standing on the sreen,that I'm kicked out of the house,at my character screen then,it's standing for example: House Redoran
Thrown out(Can't translate,whats
standing there,but it's
something in that way)

What do you mean that it's standing there?

Well,on your screen where your abilities and so on are standing,there are also your ranks in the house (for example Redoran) and if I'm pointing on the house,after I did something bad,there's standing instead of my rank,that I'm not longer member in that house.

I would beat the quests, and then do something bad to someone in the house. Then I get expelled and join another house. That's how I compleed all the quests.

Well,this don't work worked with my game.Anyway, I'm not playing it anymore ;)

Why aren't you playing it anymore?

I stopped playing it too...

Reason: 150 Atletics/Acrobatics + Moving somewhere = Stops to load 3 times in one jump...

Why aren't you playing it anymore? Well,although it works perfect on my Pc it's somehow boring now,no real hard fights and I'm somehow stuck with the main quest.A reason for not playing it still maybe that I played it a little much the first time I got it (6 hours a day for 3 weeks :D )

Icingdeath, its impossible to join another house, even when you've been kicked out. Maybe you've got a bug?

I probably do have a bug. I don't have the patch for the game.

I've just bought Morrowind (yay! :thumb: ), and am currently playing through with two Characters; Nettletail (Argonian Scout, level 2) and Jakhan (Dunmer Spellsword level 3).

Jakhan is the only one I've played extensively with, and so far have got to the third Assignment with the Blades, I'm a Journeyman in the Fighter's Guild and am slowly working my way through the Mage Guild in Balmora.

Ooooh! My greatest achievement, was may I say, amazing! Running through the Dwarf ruins with the Blade mission, I dropped my enchanted blade (Spider Sword) to carry some Denwer Cogs (stupid, yeah) and got ambushed. I was nearly dead, but I cast Ancient Guardian (or whatever it's called), jumped over the 3/4 bandits, retrieved the blade, hacked them to pieces and killed the leader who'd been chasing me just as the spell ran out! :D

Ok, laugh if you will, but I'm new at this game :rolleyes:

@Taza: you could just cheat and lower your athletics and acrobatics...
