Factions in Morrowind remain one of my favorite aspects of the game. They were numerous, fun, challenging, and you actually felt like you earned the promotions. Good times.

Morrowind is easily my favourite Elder Scrolls game just take your time with it and you will have a blast.

So far, not having a blast. Really do not like the controls. Is there an one-key-stoke way for collecting alchemy ingredients? I may have to get a controller because hitting space bar and then moving cursor to click on the take all button for every mushroom and plant is driving me nuts, not to mention aggravating my old repetitive stress injury in my right wrist.
My advice would be too check out some mods for it. Several have been made to streamline the interface, improve combat, etc.

Forgot about that. Mainly because I never really bothered to collect ingredients on Morrowind. It was usually just quicker to buy them at a shop.
I keep dieing!!!Of course, it doesn't help that I went into the marshes with no health potions and no restore health spell and zero alchemy skill so I pretty much screwed myself over...
Just remember, enemies do not level with you in Morrorwind. So there *are* places where enemies will stomp you into the ground if you go there unprepared.

But that means that they'll get easier the more I level up though, right? So there is light at the end of the tunnel? LOL.Just remember, enemies do not level with you in Morrorwind. So there *are* places where enemies will stomp you into the ground if you go there unprepared.
Haha, not always. It'll take a decent while before you get to that instance of power. Unless you exploit the game some, expect your path to power take a while. If the game becomes easy, up the difficulty.
Haha. Well, if you are extra observant in the starting town, you should be able to leave with over 1,000 septims and a few extra items.

Avoid Solstheim until you are level 40 or so. I went there at around 20 once, and got raped by dudes with paralyzing weapons. Twas not fun.

Lovely. I want to play the game, not fluffing surf around for fluffing mods. Wish I knew this before I paid money for it.
Well, imo, Morrorwind is pretty damn fun as it is. Mods just add to it. I've never had much of a problem playing it other than the hit detection.
Heh, I'm not sure how my joints would fair giving Morrowind another play through. You could probably see about using a controller for it. I've never tried but it could be possible.

Controllers aren't bad. I played the entirety of my Morrowind career on the xbox, never had a problem.
