morrowind is a hella cool game.. but there r some things that just need to go... well.. only one thing i really have somthing agenst, those freakin Cliff Racers! they are the most annoying unit in the game and they are EVERYWHERE! well im done, i just needed to get that out, i hate those things to hell
oh and sandstorms.. those piss me off too, they need to get some snow in that game, it would rock, like, during winter months or sumthing in the north.. :)

snow? That'd suck... just like sandstorms...
as for cliff racers, they weren't so bad when I set their speed to one *grin*

Cliff Racers annoy me just as much as Rats, Gwars, and every other stupid thing that lives in the countryside. The only thing that doesn't drive me nuts are the Netchs and the... um... the little spider things.
That's why I go into the country as infrequently as possible, and once there I Sneak everywhere I go out of the city limits. Takes a lot longer, but I don't have to waste valuable magic-charged weapon power on those stupid critters.
Verisimilitude Corner: One of the things that really cracks me up is how people standing out in the countryside (Ashlanders gathered around yurts, bandits, people on the road who have some little piddling mini-quest for you) are thouroughly ignored by the beasties. Outside the Ghostgate are two Ashlanders. There were 3 Cliff Racers circling overhead as I was crouched next to them in Sneak. As soon as I let go of Sneak and stood up, all 3 came at me. I realize that in order to have people in the countryside you can't have them get KILLED before I ever chance upon them, but... still...

Yeah. Morrowind badly needs a Scroll of Genocide, like those old Moria clones. What creature would you like removed from the game today? :ebil:
Actually its great fun when I see them coming and can snipe them outta the sky. And when they surprise me that's cool. I just wish there weren't so *many* of them. Maybe a Scroll of Endangered Species?
NPCs can get attacked if they're following you. In fact no creature gets a chance to attack them, they pile onto anything they see, regardless of whether they can handle it.

LoL, that remembers me of when I had to "escort" a mage to Pelagiad. We got attacked by one of those mutated cows and he blasted it AND me with an area effect spell. We both died (me and the critter). And I had to protect that guy?? From what? Next time I just ran straight to Pelagiad never stopping to let the lunatic catch up. :p

I'm using Boots of Blinding Speed, and I still can't outrun them. How high does my speed attribute need to be?

This is where modding comes in. I found one called DeclawedCliffBirds that makes the cliff racers behave just like netches, i.e. they aren't aggressive.
I didn't mind the cliff racers early in the game, because they were a legitimate threat and made trips into the wilderness a dangerous business. What I hate is how they still insist on dive-bombing level 25 characters that they can't possibly take, and just make intolerable nuisances of themselves.
Nix Hounds come after me too. Bethesda really needed to implement some codes where monsters won't attack players vastly stronger than themselves.

Oh my - how I agree....
All those annoying critters - nothing but a nuisance... but they are EVERYWHERE!
Actually I find it very hard to find any challenges whatsoever. None of the daedras pose any threat - sometimes I pick up some weapontype with which I'm not proficient just to make the battles a bit harder.
Bethesda really ought to have made opponents that could make a 60th level char break sweat too... Just my opinion!

This is what I think of cliff racers...

You need to do a fast travel mod and stop pestering those poor cute little birdies.
