Getting Morrowind Soon

[Jersey Dagmar]

I've never had a chance to touch this gem. As I didn't have an XBOX when the game came out. Though the powers of having a steady job and Ebay I've gained access to it. And I can't wait. It's a new game for me, and that makes me excited.

While I am used to Oblivion and Skyrim, Morrowind is going even further back. Can you guys who have ventured in it give me any tips or what to expect?

• Be prepared to get lost, make mental notes of where everything is.
• Don't always follow the beaten path. A lot of the little things that make that game great have no quest leading to them and you simply stumble upon so explore.
• Know where your "carriages" are. There is no fast travel in Morrowind so it's either by silt strider/boat/teleportation. Remember where they are.
• Explore cities. Some of them in Morrowind are HUGE, namely Vivec. It's almost like a separate world in itself.
• Get Tribunal, worth every penny.

If i can think of more i'll let you know.

Luckily I'm getting the Game of the Year edition which comes with the two PC expansion packs.

Are you playing it on the xbox or pc?

I always wondered if fast travel was in the game...

Xbox. I'm a console gamer through and through.

No, it had a system similar to the carriages (Silt Striders) to take you from location to location.

 

[Jersey Dagmar]

Those Slit Striders are freaky but cool looking.

Ok cool. I was asking because there are some great mods to help modernize the game. I hope you enjoy it. I have very fond memories Morrowind.

Yea, I've seen those mods in action. Very nice. However, I can deal with old graphics. A minor thing for owning a great game in some form. So far, I'm loving it. I wish the Argonians and Kahjiits still had those beastly feet.

And if I remember correctly they can't wear boots or helmets. Oh, and if i were you, I would avoid medium armor. GO heavy or light, or none if you want to be all mage.

 

[Jersey Dagmar]

I'm going all light. I've done that in Oblivion and Skyrim. Just looks better with my female Argonian. And yes, they can't wear face covering helmets. Ones with an opening they can. And boots are out of the question, but oh well.

 

[demujin]

Light armor FTW.

I could tell you where the best light armor in the original game is, but that might be spoiling it for you.

 

[Jersey Dagmar]

Yea, no spoilers... D: LOL

First got that game when I was little. Could never figure out how to do quests so I would just wander aimlessly about and kill stuff. Its a huge game that you have to be semi intelligent to play, which makes it even better. Enjoy it!

I liked that game it was realy fantasy like (when I played shivering isle it reminded me on morrowind)... but I hated when you re-enterd the room alredy dead enemys and they were alredy all spawned. I played with khajiit and I was stuck in the ceiling many times in vivec, when i was jumping... -.- I realy liked that you had a dangers from sky... good thing they bring up back that in skyrim!
