Yeah, GMB, welcome to the TTLG forums, it's nice to see a new face.
Here's a tip, play using a monitor and the game will be much easier!

5. Play with some mods/plugins.
Are you a master or even a member of the Temple? That going to be the last thing I do before I get myself turned into a vampire. Also all Daedric quests.
Here's a though if on the PC you can join more that one house, would you also be able turn your self into a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. Not a very appealing combintation I just wondered if it was possible.
Imperial moved quickly. I got all the way to Oracle before actually had to put any effect into the quest. I with this alms giving I just donated my own money and said I collected. I do that to often with money collecting quests. :o

I know how to spell MGB!!!
Oh, and Ms. Ledd, why does TTLG support (
http://sbextreme.com/) , a website to ruin the experience of an entire server of players by plaguing it with illegal cheats, exploits and hacks?

With the Boots of Blinding Speed I can cross the whole continent in a few minutes and it doesn't take more than a few hits to bring any enemy down. It literally only took an hour or so to advance all the way through the temple!
*sigh* I wish they would come out with another expansion for high-level players!

Welcome to the club! :thumb:
On balance issues:
- I read somewhere (can't remember where), that a good difficulty setting for the game is 2*your level (or more if you feel up to it). So if you have a level 10 character, set difficulty to 20 or above etc. It makes the game challenging but not frustratingly so.
On getting your bearings:
- Like they said, use the paper map, it's quite accurate.
- You do know, I hope, that in the "menu" you'll get a bigger map view, in which you can switch between "local" and "world". Comparing the "world" view with the paper map should give you a good estimation where you are.
On playing the game:
- Focus on on your characters Major skills! If you do not have any long blade skill, a claymore does you no good, even if the weapon has good damage ratings. You will not be able to hit anything with it. Major skills level up faster.
- Try concentrating getting your character an expert of a particular area, like marksmanship. Playing a character that is OK on many skills, but not excellent on any, will be difficult, especially at the beginning, when every rat and worm seems to be able to kick your ass.
Recommended plugins:
- A plugin to remove or neutralize Cliff Racers
- A Good Place To Stay (creates an "apartment" for you in Balmora with enough room to store all your weapons and stull)
On travelling:
- Don't walk (unless you want to). Use Silt Striders, Mages Guild teleports, boats, Mark/Recall spells, gondolas(within Vivec), and magical items which allow you to levitate/fly over obstacles. Saves time, saves energy, saves health, saves nerves.
And do post more stories about luminous mushrooms!

I had intended to keep this rolling, but I ... erm ... kinda got sucked in. I'm at level 15 now, and so much has happened that I can't recall it all. Naked guys have attacked me with their fists, I got pinched by an Ordinator and had to give some stuff back, I accidentally stumbled into a Daedric ruin and now I have a shiny new Orcish cuirass. I bought a dress to wear, and it looks relatively boss. I got lost in the Ashlands, I checked out a Dwemer ruin (and kept thinking that I was back in Thief 2, only without the good NPCs).
I have comandeered a house in Caldera, and I keep lots of stuff there. Half of it I don't know what to do with, but my Alchemy skillz are increasing, as are my Enchantment skillz. I ditched the sparksword thing in favour of a Daedric Longsword I very narrowly survived obtaining in the underbelly of one of the cantons in Vivec, and I have joined the Fighters', Mages', and Thieves' Guilds as well as the Temple and the Imperial Cult. They keep me busy with many Fed Ex quests, and I have to keep referring back to my journal to see wtf they wanted of me days and days ago, as I tend to get sidetracked.
I'm currently beetling about Vivec, trying to get my bearings and figure out some way to steal this phat bag of lewt I spied in the Mages' Guildhouse, but motherfucker Ordinator is always there. I tangled with one of those lads once... I'd rather not give that a shot again for a while. Don't let the gay helmets fool you.
I kinda wish I could add my own journal entries, just to record things I might want to know later. Or annotate the map. Unless I can already do that and am simply too stupid to figure out how.
One thing I will say though: The combat system is ass. But I can forgive it that on the strength of the rest of it. For now.

Originally posted by Gingerbread Man So I just upgraded my computer from a P2 333MHz with 64M RAM (stop laughing) to an athlon XP2500+ and (so far) 512M DDR. Which means I am suddenly able to play Morrowind, a game that has been sitting on my shelf for months.GBM, what's your video card? I have a similar system with 512 MB ram but it ran like so much crap when I tried playing it (640x480 with things turned down to nothing helps, though) I basically quit. It's especially annoying to go into the menu or inventory and drag around a drunken mouse cursor that keeps trying to fall asleep or just lag behind :cheeky:. I'm assuming it's my crap video card ("nVidia TNT2 M64 graphics card with 32MB SDRAM" according to the sticker still on the front of the tower), so I wonder what you have? Back when it came out a friend said a guy he knew who had just put together a pretty fast machine (with video card) ran it and also got bad frame rates/etc. So we figure it's mostly Bethesda's fault.
That, and I have no staying power when it comes to games of this magnitude anymore. I just get so tired of trying to do all the crap involved, Morrowind's such an open-ended game, and it's easy to feel in over one's head :sweat:. Plus I have college to think about, so getting obsessed with it at a time like this wouldn't be cool.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and it's also hard to get motivation to spend hours and hours levelling up and getting crap money when one realizes they can open up the console and basically become god :laff:. The drive is kind of dead after that.
And that's enough ranting.

I have a GeForce FX 5200 now. I find running at 1600 is a little bit unsmooth, so I run at 1180 or whatever the next size down is, and I couldn't ask for smoother framerates. I don't know exactly what they are, I've never looked, but it glides like glass so I'm happy.
The main problem with 1600 was the drunken cursor, yeah. That really pissed me off. It's a LOT better at the next res down, though. Not perfect, but it's good enough that I don't mind the little bit of lag it has.
