Hey, weren't you the guy just asking in another thread if this game was worth buying? Yes? Then simmer down and mind yer own business until you have a frame of reference. ;)
Ahem.
Now, on to better things (and I can't believe no one has said this one yet):
q26. How is it that when you hit a Cliff Racer with any weapon that causes paralyzation, it becomes immobile... <i>hanging in mid-air</i>? I mean, thats some kind of physics going on in Morrowind!!

I can answer this one, Hanse ;)
It's just the same as for why all you can harvest out of this huuge beastie are a few dinky "plumes"; it's why you can make them disappear with the click of a button; it's why they appear out of the middle of nowhere: All these critters are animatronics, and the cliff racers just have anti-grav packs. When you "kill" it, it shuts down and floats to the ground; else, wouldn't some do a nosedive, while others flip over and over as they fall? But nooooo, they all drift to the ground... in the exact same way.
Secretly manufactured by "the makers" far under Vvardenfell's surface, they maufacture just what you'd least like to see... just try and wish not to see a cliff racer the next time you're traversing the Ashlands. (Too bad they know about reverse psychology... "I'd sure hate it if nubile women would pelt me with kisses right about now!" "*raaawk*" "Oh, you can go to... *thwump*")
Oh, and disposing of corpses? That's simple... they have auto-destruct buttons hidden where you can't reach (don't ask) while they're moving around; why else do you think you end up with all of a corpse's clothes if you use that button?
See? It's all so simple, given the right approach ;)

q.28: How come you immediately know the names of every bog-trotting bush-whacker living in every hole-in-the-wall-cave on the island, even though you've never met any of them before???. (Or maybe you have, and that's why they all want to kill you on sight?)

q28: name tags!
"Hi! My name is"
"Tuco."
"Your blood will be mine!"

q. 29: Here's one that bothered me - if someone sees you climbing into their bed, they call the cops (who then take all the items you stole from a peasants house 50 miles away 3 months ago), but if you sneak/camouflage, and get into bed without their seeing you, you can doze away for 17 hours as they mill around the house oblvioius to your snoring...
q. 30: Along the same theme - Why won't it let me see the pictures in that girl's pillow book? Or are they just all pictures of different types of pillows...

q31 A. Why is it that all these NPCs in random caves can have a mid-80's opinion of you, and still attack after they've had a few seconds to look you over?
q31 B. Why can you obtain hours and hours of training from them if you're fast enough running up to them? Do they wear blindfolds during the training session, or something?
q31 C. Why do they even bother attacking? Someone calmly walks up to you with no weapons drawn, bedecked with every major artifact you've ever heard of since childhood; do you a) flee in terror, b) gawp and ask for an autograph, or c) attack, knowing they can kill you with one flick of a finger?
q32. Assuming they're the 1st hostile to see you (and that you don't use a ranged attack on 'em), why do enemy NPC archers require you to practically step on their toes before they fire on you? Even when they've been staring in your direction as you calmly approach? (critter archers like skeletons seem to go aggressive and attack from a range far better)
q33. Doesn't meat rot in this world? I can't speak for everyone obviously, but the idea of eating a hunk of meat that's been lying in a crypt for months on end makes me lose my appetite for a few minutes. (and then that reminds me of (
http://www.thespark.com/science/stinkyhome.html) this; especially check out 'stinkymeat' to see what I'm referring to)

q. 34 - How come i can drop off impossibly high buildings and slopes and hit the ground and sustain no damage?
q.34a - Then how come when i jump off anything as low as a one story house i cop 20 hp damage?
q.35 - And how the hell can you manueveur in mid air?

q 36. If your skills & attribs are high enough, you can often beat a throwing star to its victim by running/jumping. Even more pointedly, if you threw it while running you can still usually beat it; wouldn't you think that your velocity would be added to its?
