Anyone do MORROWIND ?

[traveler]

There is a pdf file of the manual on the web somewhere. It is very difficult to find because every website that hosts game manuals has "Removed by request of the Publisher" for the Morrowind manual. It's a 30 Mb pdf file. There is also a very high definition scan of the Morrowind map. Great for zooming in and quest planning. It's a 3 Mb jpg file.

Really? It sounds better than what I got in the game of the year edition....all I have is a little manual about 20 pages long with character types, magic types, etc.... I don't think there is a map and it is not very explanatory at all.

I might have to see if I can find that.

That's it. It's 50 pages. Black with gold trim and print. About 4 inches by 7 inches.

The full color map of Morrowind is big but folds down to about the same size. It comes with the Game of the Year edition.

You gotta have the map!!!

Would you believe I didn't even KNOW I had a map....it was folded up...and sitting there and I didn't even know I had it....which really sucks because I was really having trouble keeping all these things in perspective to each other. But now the map is hanging up on the wall next to the computer.

Yes...that sounds like the book I have too....could be more informative though......

Yep!

That's why you got the big 500 page book too. And even that's not enough. Go to www.elderscrolls.com for more. Especially for how to make specific spells.

BTW how far are you on the main Blade quest? See any good ruins lately?

I've actually not been able to play as much as I'd "liked" to have lately. I *just* finally made level 2 today.

I've been concentrating more on the mage guild quests thus far.

Try to pace them together. A few Main quests and then a few other quests. You do get time off from the Main quest to do other quests. You are told to go do other things while your boss desides what for you to do next. That's the time to do the other quests and side quests. The Main quest will teach you more about what Morrowind is all about. Explore but don't get killed.

Did you get the Boots of Blinding Speed yet?

I'll take your advice.....NO...but I sure could use them boots....gosh the "walking" in this game is slow.

Only thing is...when you put them on you go blind. You have to have some resist magic items (armor, rings, etc...) to negate the blindness effect.
If you can build yourself up to 75% resist magic that should be OK.
100% is better. That was you can use them with no sight penalty.

I'll keep that in mind.....I'm only a level 2 Brenton....so my resist magika is probably not that great yet.

Bretons automatically resist 50% blindness. You can use them fine. My character is Breton. Page 202; the Gnaar Mok quest. You'll be glad you went there.

I was in "the same boat".....the thing is that the quests from the cat lady (forget her name too right now), don't get you much "experience".

When you right click to see you inventory and everything, if you hover over "level" it shows you how far you have increased toward the next level. You have to get 10 points and I think you have to get those points from your major or minor skills.

Have you joined the thieves guild? There are some quests there that helped me....also, if you just jump a lot...even off buildings you get acrobatics skill....if you get hurt just rest until healed.

Also...I fought a few guys, but in the 2nd theives guild quest I had to get they key from this dude....but book said try not to kill him......so I fought him hand t hand....it took forever, but I just kept working at it fighting him....and got my hand-top-hand skills from 7 up to 26 or so.

Also...get some more mage guild quests from the lady in Al'Durhn or whatever it is.

It took forever to get to level 2, but got to level 3 in probably a few hours.








NOW....for MY QUESTION.....I'm out at a dungeon/fort called Marandus...kind of East of Balmora....books says lots of baddies and goodies in here. I am only level 3 right now...am I in over my head or should I keep working at trying this place?

It'll be difficult, but if you fight strategically (pretty much a lot of running away and resting) and spend the time you can do it.
You're going to have to level up thise combat skills somehow and this would be one way to do it.
What I did was to read the guide and pick those targets that looked easiest in my area of operations and work on those until my skills were high enough to take on the bigger, badder and richer targets.
