Morrowind

[pizzaman]

Hello peoples. I have recently 'bought' Morrowind. I haven't played it much, but I wanted to get some advice. First of all, WTH do you do!? Do you do the quests they ask you? Is that how I'm to get money? Or do I have to rob the stores and houses? ( heh... that was fun ). And what would you people rate this game from one to ten?
P.S. Is there a manuel or guide for this game? And are there a lot of mods?

Whoa...Morrowind is a very complex and life-comprehensive game. I, too, have it for Xbox, but there is too much to tell. It didn't come with a manual, I don't think. Just go with the flow...the game has a short tutorial in the beginning. It's an adventuring game...and it's REALLY fun! I just don't know where to start! Cheating my enchant skill up, enchanting and naming weapons names like *******ter, *****slayer, ****smasher, and up yours. Fun stuff, the adventure. Join guilds, play the game of life. Very fun game.

As for how to beat the game...my signature used to say this:
"Dagoth Ur welcomes you, Nerever, my old friend. But to this day where destiny is made, why have you come unprepared?" When you hear that statement in the game, that means you have confronted the end of the game. It doesn't look like a beatable game, but as you go along, you begin to learn more about the rearising Sixth House.

I once killed some guy with a poison blade so green gass was floating out of his crack. I hit him so hard, he was sliding up the stairs while the green gas was rippin' out of his crack; it look like I hit him so hard he farted while he died, sliding up the stairs! Holy **** that was so funny!!!

I wanted to join Dagoth Ur, for I thought he was misunderstood. He was evil, but he was like me in many ways, or at least compared to CM. This is a picture of him.

I have to go to bed now. I'll answer your reply tomorrow.

Is this game an action RPG like Fable? My guy in Fable is the evilest evil in the land, who owns (and taxes to extinction) one city and has cleansed another city of all life (and he loves meat!) He is like me compared to Iconoclast! Interesting, indeed.

pizzaman: Why do you put the word "bought" in quote thingies?

yup, its certainly an amazing game. i beat it for the xbox, then i got it for the pc and cheated the hell out of it...it was fun to practically fly around and enhance my stats whenever i wanted to! personally, i liked that game A LOT more than grand theft auto. no crappy music for one thing...

as for what to do, do whatever you want! do the guild quests, wander around...but the main quest is enjoyable too.

no cm, its not like fable. fable promised so much, but i was very disappointed by it. dont get me wrong, it was a very fun game, but it was way too short and didnt provide near the open endedness as i thought it would have. it was basically a linear path with a few sidequests. normally i don't mind that at all (i love final fantasy) but i had been reading about that game a years before it came out, drooling over the possibilities...only to learn upon playing it that it wasnt what was promised. though i must ask, are you playing the rereleased version? i think that there is slightly more content in that, i never played it. morrowind, on the other hand, is truly open ended. go wherever, do whatever.

I am playing the original version. I like to find new ways to play Fable. In this one setup I have, my guy is the evil mayor of Oakvale (the town you start in.) By mayor, I mean I have the house on the hill at the fanciest level and I own every ownable building in the entire town. I collect insane amounts of money through taxes. Also, I killed eveyone in Hook Coast and made it a creepy ghost town. I don't like how the people take a long time to come back, though. I DO like strolling around in the morning, collecting taxes with no pants on. The breeze is quite refreshing.

Soooo....how do you control your character? Do you tell him actions from a menu, or do you control him and attack directly with button presses?

[pizzaman]

Thanks guys, but I wanted to know more of what to do. Like do I just follow what's in my journal? How can I get a better weapon? Why do I have to hit like 5 times before my weapon does damage?

CM, it's first prespective. You use the mouse to look around.

Oh, God. If you want to learn the storyline and crap, just start from the beginning and MEMORIZE EVERY GODAMN WORD THEY SAY. When the first guard captain dude tells you to do him an errand, take a silkstrider (?) to the city he tells you to go to, I forgot the name. After that, join the Warrior's or Mage's guild. After there, the storyline is fairly straightforward. Just do what the NPCs tell you to do.

I "bought" it about five months ago and it was a blast. 9/10
I also suggest you "buy" Baldur's Gate.
BTW, pizzaman, just PM me if you have any, ahem, P2P/torrenting questions.

Also your inbox is full.

So it is first person? You see from the character's eyes?

Yes you do, but the combat method is pretty hard. I miss most of the blows I give with my axe and longsword.

Okay I will check into that. BTW, have you ever 'bought' Oblivion? If you did, can you send me a 'link' to some info about that game location....
