Bless you Ingie - that puts my mind at rest.

The games will not ariive until somewhere around the 19th July. On that date it is doubtful if I will be able to see well enough to install the game, yet alone play it Last time I literally saw EVERYTHING in red for a whole fortnight!

Should I install the game and the two expansions at the same time - they don't, for instance, intermingle? I expect you realised I read Morrowind as Morrowmind! Didn't even notice it was different when I ordered it from Amazon.

Have a good mind to shelve Syberia 2 and Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The characters behave so stiffly and unnaturally. It becomes boring. The alternative is to follow to the letter a walkthrough for each just to know what happens. If you see what I mean?

It has crossed my mind to relax by playing D.D. again. Please, please, let D.D.2 arrive soon.

God Bless.

Morrowind remains my all time favorite! I played all expansions and I felt like I really lived there! I think you should stick on all expansions right away or at least the first one. It has some bug fixes and makes some improvements in the way the quest journal is organized.

My husband tried Dungeon Siege and didn't care for it. He said mostly all you do is fight and not much story. So my ten year old boys played it and they liked it. Don't know if that helps.

I think I will go sell some skills back because I'm at a tough spot at the levers and pentagram area and I can't beat these level 9 guys. I think I spent my skills on the wrong thing. It's either that or start over.

Alice,
I agree, load all at one time. The reason is that each expansion has the patches and therefore you don't have to download anything.
You will have references made to the different locations and actually can travel there anytime you want, but they are harder and your character needs to be developed to rather high levels or you will be killed, but fun to go to just to see.
Morrowind is an extremely large game and will keep you busy for a long time.
I highly recommend ordering the Strategy Guide for Morrowind..it really comes in handy as the game is so huge and diverse. I think you can pick it up at Amazon for a good price..I used it and used it and used it.
In my prayers for the eye operation.

Ingie

Didn't expect to be back so soon.

Ingie - have gone crosseyed scrolling down strategies at Amazon - got into 200 odd out of 1000 odd when my eyes packed up. Can you help, please.

Yep, I'll help Alice.
I'll email you in the morning..well tomorrow, the 12th and let you know.
Been away today and didn't see this.

Ingie

Thanks Ingie,

God Bless.

Hi Alice,
The correct name of the guide is:

The Morrowind Phophecies-Offical Guide for Pc and X-Box..it may have Game of the year stuck in there also. Mine does not but from Amazon I noticed they did and included X-Box on it.

That should do you. Please CYE

I'm still plugging away here in Act 4. On the first level of the Academy there is a door that can only be opened with a star shaped key, but I haven't been able to get through to the area on the map that has the pool and amulet. Is this vital to the game? I've been able to find a way down, but don't want to go if it will screw something up.

I thought I had passed all the tests, but they said I didn't and there is no way to take them over. Should I just keep on going?

Jean

so is there anyone playing who has just recently started or will I be here all by myself. first impressions this one seems more action oriented than DD.

I just started! I'm still in Act 1. I bet it you'll be passing me before you know it!
I can barely remember DD but I think you're right. There is more dungeon fighting than then the other. However, like I said, I just started so I don't know what is to come.

Question- I found a crystal bag and I have some crystals but I can't put them in the bag. Are my crystals not the right ones? They don't say that they have any powers, they just say "dark crystal", "air crystal", ect.

Hi Tamia:

This is what you do to add crystals to the bag. Click your inventory open and move the screen to the right. This is so you can see the bag once it's opened. Click once on the crystal bag and it will show up next to your screen with the slots to be filled. Then, drag the crystals you want to use to the slots.

Crystals can be taken out of the bag and exchanged with other crystals. You'll find quite a few crystals throughout the game that you can swap depending on which resistance you need at that time.

Charms, on the other hand, can't be taken out. You'll find charms in various places and with various merchants. They are to be used in weappons, equipment, etc.

Jean

Thanks, you know what I was doing wrong? I had the bag window open on top of the inventory window so whenever I tried to click on a crystal to drag it in the bag, the bag disappeared! Finally, I realized that the bag window must be on a part of the screen NEXT to the inventory.

Hi Zanthia
I agree much more action in this than DD, although right now replaying DD there is quite a bit, I'm still in the catacombs there.

Jean, you will be able to unlock that door when you need to, can't remember when but later in the game.

Ingie

Jean, to get to the star key, you have to go to the room that has the wharp - can't think of right name- where there is a dead body. The same place where you tested. You need to pick up the pickax and hit the wall with it (that part of the wall will highlight). The key is in there. At least that is what I think you are looking for. I think Ingie is talking about a key that you get later.
As far as taking the tests over, I don't know if it affects you or not - I failed the first time through, and went back to a save, just to be on the safe side.
