Just bought Morrowind... - by Anarkos

[Yes, legitimately. See what publisher support can do for you? [I initially warez'd DX, as damn Eidos did not send enough copies to NZ to satisfy the demand...their support/promotionvery poor] No such problems with Morrowind :)]
Anyway, I like it. I like it. I'm up to Balmora, just begining the first Blade quest. I'm playing as a Redguard Warrior. Basically, I have a big sword and I hit things. Splat.
A couple of quibbles however:
1) Theft. What is the deal with this? I have one person in Balmora who appears to have a pillow fetish [No, not the lady who is supposed to], one of the shopkeepers. Also, when I am caught...how...come...they take...the...sword...I stole 2 days ago on the other side of the island?
2) Items. Are they randomised or not? I found a Silver Sparksword [I think that ewas the name. A long sword which deals out lightning damage], which made for a nice update on my current weapon. Then I died and had to reload from just before I found it; but I cannot relocate it...
And the conversation system is evil. But, otherwise, great game...

Short version : Guards are 1337 /\/\ 4|) h4xx0rz and they use AOL to transmit a list of stolen items. Note however that there is a bug/design feature which marks all items of a type as stolen if you steal one, ie. if you steal a steel shortsword all steel shortswords now count as stolen.
2) Items are often random, but a lot aren't (quest items, legendary/unique items, stuff at many shop keepers, some offerings at daedra shrines).

AAAHHH!! this would explain why the woman in Balmora mages guild thinks all soulgems belong to her.Here I was thinking it was just art following life !Baaahaaawaaaaa!!!!

And then there's me who killed things to get my axe, and would kill anyone who attempted to take it from me.
The guards don't bother me now.

Yeah I got the game 2 days ago as well. I'm currently in Tel-Arhun trying to locate Emusette Bracques :). 7 days it took me to get their from Balmora.
I really like this game loads :).
