Okay, I think this is my second full time around (played it halfway once, fully once before) and now that I've put so much time into Skyrim, I'm ready for a serious break and Morrowind seems perfect for it.

I'm having so much fun all over again, and making myself SLOW DOWN and join only one faction at a time so I can concentrate on those quests only and not have a journal full of five different faction quests that overwhelm me! LOL I think that's why I stopped playing the first time around.

Anyway just having fun and wanted to post about it. This time I'm playing a Breton instead of a Dunmer, and I'm interested to see if anything changes like the way people treat my character, etc. So far they just call me "Breton", but some Dunmer call me "muthsera" which I always thought was a word that meant you were recognizing another Dunmer while speaking. (must be off base on that one! lol)

btw---I'm doing quests for the Hhaalhu (sp?) House and just discovered this time around that I can taunt people into striking me first so that I'm allowed to kill them w/out getting in trouble. I did feel a tiny bit quilty when I killed that Cammona Tong guy because I'd raised his dispostion then taunted him and he was like, "What are you saying? I thought we were friends!" Since he's a murderer I won't feel guilty long (lol) but it did feel a little weird at the time.

Which brings up a question.....how many of you have those kinds of feelings when you kill characters? I guess this applies to all games really, but for some reason it bothers me more in Morrowind than in say, Skyrim. (I have no idea why)

Thanks for letting me ramble---time to walk the doggie and make dinner and THEN hopefully more Morrowind! Wish me luck.

Tracy, so glad you are having fun with Morrowind again. I always feel badly when I do something in a game that I wouldn't do in real life. I must have separation issues.

Thanks Looney. I just can't get over how much fun that game is every time I get back into it again. I don't feel bored because I know what's going to happen, or anything like that. There's always a special "newness" about it for me and I'm not sure why----guess I won't question it I'll just enjoy it!

Tracy

Morrowind !! A brilliant game. And one of which I will never tire. I love it !!

I have to admit to having no qualms about killing baddies in ANY game. It's a game !! And I am more than old enough now not to be affected by anything a game involves

Tracy, there was a time when, in any RPG, I felt bad about killing anyone who hadn't attacked me first. I was content with concentrating on mere thieving.

Then I discovered the Assassin's Guild in Oblivion.

It's been downhill ever since. Now the Assassins are the first Guild I look for in any game, if there is an equivalent guild.

Mad---you go girl. I'm at the ripe old age of 42 but feel about 10-15 years younger, so maybe I need to catch up and then I won't feel so guilty! LOL

Hagatha--I know what you mean. I loved the Dark Brotherhood in Oblvion (especially after installing a few mods that made it more interesting and longer-lasting) and so I'm on the lookout for that kind of thing now too. It IS fun being bad sometimes, isn't it? LOL

Tracy

Only 42, Tracy ??

Well then, to get to my time of life, you have a heck of a lot of catching up to do

42? What's 42? I don't even remember 42!

My bank balance? My waist measurement? The number of brain cells I have left?

LOL! Okay I guess it's not "old" per se, but it's the oldest I've ever been so it's freaking me out. I think I've been having a little mid-life crisis for the past two years and I hope that it stops soon!

Meanwhile, I love that my game character look younger than I actually AM so I can pretend to be in my twenties or thirties again. LOL

42 brain cells ?? I don't think I even started out with that many, looney4labs !!

42?

For those of you old enough to remember The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the Meaning of Life.

It's also a good age to be. At 42 I felt in control and old enough to be wise without having lost either my looks or my enthusiasm for new things.

'course, that was along time ago. Now my best day consists of not finding any new age spots.

Thanks for your post Hagatha. I feel better already!

EDIT: 4/19/2012

Hi again everyone. I have a question so I thought I'd edit my post. I'm doing the House Hlaalu quests and have gone to Cassius Curio for Advancement, but can't seem to get beyond Kinsman. He's told me that I need to brush up on my skills, and so I've gone around to the trainers in the Hlaalu canton and "bought" training in each subject until it won't allow me to go any further, but when I go to Crassius he still says I need to update my skills. Just wondering if someone could tell me how they advanced and if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks so much!
Tracy, who already took off her clothes for the man! (you'd think that would be enough! LOL LOL)

Tracy I haven't played Morrowind, but there is a listing of quests with directions On This Page. You might see something you missed that will help you move on.
