I just started playing Morrowind today and would like to know how to go about creating a decent character. I'm pretty much going to stay melee, with some supplementle powers. Here's a breakdown of what I did so far:

Class: Adventurer
Major Skills: Long Blade, Blunt, Enchant, Heavy Armor, speechcraft
Minor: Spear, axe, medium armor, retoration, armorer
Sign: The one thats about undead and healing

So besided character creation, are there any patches or mods that are neccessary to get the most out of the game?

Best advice I can give it sto take it slow. It's a big game and it can be overwelming to begin with. Join a guild or two as soon as possible and stick to the quests. You're very weak at the beginning and if you go wandering off you'll get your arse handed to you faster than you can blink.

Hi jonas007, welcome to Morrowind and to TTLG! I hope you have a gret time playing MW, it's a truly amazing game. You just have to be prepared to be patient, especially at first, it's a very long and involved game. I agree with what driver said about being cautious at first, stick close to the starting town because the quests and dungeons around there are suitable for beginner characters. Guilds like the Fighter's will start you off with nice manageable quests while you find your feet as well.....

There are so many mods available it's scary, but if you go here you'll find what is probably the definitive list of the best ones available:

As a general tip, I'd advise you to be very careful who you kill-many NPCs who appear to be unimportant may turn out to be part of a quest later on, and you go round killing people randomly you can royally screw up the game for yourself. The game will only warn you if you kill an NPC who is vital to the main quest.
The same goes for looting-if you come across an item that looks interesting or unique in some way, it might be best to keep ahold of it, or if you must sell it, at least make a note of who you sold it to. You might need it back later on.

Have fun!

The best advice I can give you is to follow the mainguest in the beginning:
the first time I played morrowind I didn't do that and I was necesary to start over because I lost the way and couldn't follow the story. Warning: It is a large game wich takes a lot of time and when you know it a bit after some time it is very addictive.

As first characture I should choose a Dunmer (darkelf) or a Altmer (high elf) because the high elf has a very high desease resistance.

And I should take a time to read books in the game, because there's a lot in them about the history of morrowind and some of them are good adventure story's in them.

and when you have ended the mainquest I should look for mods: I think Sword of Perithia is a very good one.

Good Luck, Stealthlord :thumb:

:idea: Oh yeah: I should also go to Creeper it is a creature that lives in caldera in a large house full of orcs. He will buy everything of you for the full price up to 5000 gold!
