You can't spoil Morrowind because the fun in the game lies in not completing the main storyline.
A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

Yeah, what Sean said. Don't beat the game. You'll be disappointed that you've spent ANY amount of money on the game.

Save often. Every time you do anything, save. MW has... weird bugs. Crashes and the like. You want to save a lot.

You level up by improving your primary and secondary skills, not by (necessarily) killing monsters. If you play a caster type, be careful because just blowing up monsters won't be enough--you'll need to practice things like alchemy and enchanting.

Download the mods in this thread, they will enhance the game significantly. Wait, shit, a lot of them don'[t work without the expansions packs. Okay, download some of them.

And I still don't understand why people dislike Morrowind's story so much.

It has way too much downtime between the fun stuff. It's like playing an MMOG except take away all social interaction.

You have to admit the ending was anticlimactic.

My problem was, when the very first NPC told me to "go get some levels and come back," I did. . .about 20 of them, so the main story line and finale were sort of easy.

I liked the Tribunal storyline a lot better than the main one (even if the ending sucked just as much) and I haven't really done anything in Bloodmoon yet.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Ehh...

I guess, in fairness, I'm too biased to render an objective opinion on it in the vein of a normal game. The storyline entranced me enough that while I was still playing it, I began researching Morrowind lore to find out more about the whole shebang, and as a result, I came out of it knowing more than I otherwise would have from the game, so the ending was more satisfying for me.

If you don't look into it (note: I'm not saying you should; while there is a lot of interesting stuff to discover, I'm not dumb enough to say that you should have to do hours of reading to enjoy your RPGs), then yeah, the ending is a tad anticlimactic. But I thought the story itself was sound.

All I wanted was a little gigantic explosion or two to give them a little more oomph.

It's an awesome game for those of us who want a complete life for our video game characters. With enough mods and plugins...you can modify everything from clothes to weapons to houses.

It's an amazingly good time killer for people like me =p

It's just a way to restore health/mana or kill in-game time.

I believe its also how you spend your leveling points.

That too, yeah.

And, if you have Tribunal, it encourages assassins to come after you.

Make sure to get the Rhedd Head mods Here you go, baby cakes!

Totally worth it and fairly small in size.

It's easier to just go to Psycho Dog Studios and download Better Heads, which includes all of Rhedd's heads and hair as well as many, many others. Also get Better Bodies while you're at it.

Wonder if we'll ever see that Better Clothing mod...

Edit: Also check the forums for beast race body and head mods.

Thanks a lot for the mods. I installed the body, head, and high-res texture mods. The wilderness mod sounds awsome, so that's next.

I just joined the mages guild. So far the quests sound pretty standard. Get some mushrooms for spell components.. Cool. Found a nifty sunken boat in the swamp that looks pretty cool while i was there looking for the shrooms... it had a cool silver sword in it. got back. duty done. Swap a real crystal for this fake crystal in my friend's desk so i can cheat and win a bet. Yeah, whetever. Damn kids. Done. Go get some flowers for more spell components. Cool, sure thing. Some guy wannted out, but we are still collecting. bitch thinks he can leave us? He owes me $2,000 in unpaid dues. If he doesn't pay, kill him and take it. Make he be dead, ya gets? While you are at it, get the rest of the cash from people who owe. I'll split ya 50/50 Sure thi- wait what?!

Question - if i ended up looting some people dry when they aren't looking, will I get away with it or is there a chance of getting caught? In other words, if i did more than just swap the crystal, would I have gotten called out? I'm a little iffy about taking things that aren't mine in the game.

Not an official release, but their Forums have a section just for clothes.

Basically, if there isn't something that says "your crime has been reported," and no one is attacking you, no one will notice ever. That's what's funny about Morrowind, you can pretty easily steal everything in the game and no one will even notice.
