How to not walk like a grandma in morrowind:
  • Get the Boots of Blinding Speed
  • Make a resist magic 100 for 1 sec spell
  • Cast spell, immediately put on boots, never bitch again

You need the spell otherwise you are literally blinded, hence the boots' name

So on this playthrough I want to specialize in spears, wear some baller medium armor, and dabble in magic. Whats the best major/minor skills setup for this?

Better yet, just be a Breton (because Bretons are already really goon on their own) and turn your screen brightness up a little.

e: good not goon, but leaving it anyway

Best way to play the game is as a Breton with Spear, Heavy Armor, Conjuration, and Alchemy as major skills, everything else can be whatever. Take the Atronach sign. Use potions to restore magicka. Go get all the bound spells ASAP (I think you can get them all from Balmora) and make a spell to give you a full suit of bound armor and a spear, it's surprisingly cheap. Spear and Heavy Armor increase your endurance, Conjuration and Alchemy increase your intelligence. Also you're pretty much immune to magic.

this is true now that i think about it, which is odd. i guess its much preferable to the loving mages in skyrim who oneshot you with big ice spikes as soon as they spot you on any difficulty above normal. i guess its my fault for trying to play bethesda games on hard difficulties and expecting balance, but my primary experience with skyrim was really one of frustration and intense terror at the prospect of maybe seeing a dude in a skirt around the next corner.

I think part of it is that all you have to do to defeat a mage is to slowly sidestep whenever he casts a spell until he runs out of magicka.

If you actually need to hit something with a weapon you can just take the boots off temporarily.

The Atronach is ridiculously good in Morrowind because it just means that you don't regenerate magicka when you sleep. Even without alchemy it's really easy to find restore magicka potions and other effects.

Spent a good 400 hours on this game and never found it.

It really only helps you when you first start out, because later when you're character is a demigod a 50-skill lock is nothing. But in the last room of the census office, the one where you get your orders, behind the dude on the bookshelf is a key. You can grab it and drop it before getting caught like the limeware platter, except that you only have like a tenth of a second because the guard is literally right next to you. It's kind of tricky because you can't even save so if you screw up you have to do the intro all over, but if you manage to grab it and drop it before the guard talks to you, you get access to the storage house. It has a poo poo ton of armor and weapons, and also a lot of moon sugar and skooma.

If you exit the census office then you actually start the game and you'll get punished if you commit a crime. As long as you stay in the office, the guards will just run up to and say "hey don't do that" although they'll still confiscate any stolen goods you have on you which is why you have to pick it up and then drop it before the guard reaches you.

Although since the fine for stealing is however much the stolen item is worth and it's just a key, it would probably only cost you a few setpims.

So....once those douches from the Dark Brotherhood start attacking you, is there any way to make them stop? I'd really like the chance to recover some Magicka and one just attacked me in Balmora's Mage Guild. Ajira, my bestest friend who I hook up with the sweet sweet moon sugar, did nothing to assist me.

WHYYYYYYY?

First time it happened I thought I was being attacked by a bondage slave.

Speaking of slaves, I'm thinking of going hardcore abolitionist and freeing all the slaves I can find. I just liberated all of the Caldera ebony mine while invisible and the Hlaalu guardsmen did nothing!

After the tenth failed assassination attempt, they'll get the hint.

Why are the loving artifacts in Skyrim so lovely? I mean, I just found the Cuirass of the Saviour's Hide, and it only has like 15 magic resistance compared to the 60 or so it had in Morrowind.

The first three mage guild quests in Balmorra are this...

1) Gather some mushrooms for me cause I have better things to do.

2) Gather some flowers for me cause I have better things to do.

3) Go the shop (literally next door) and get me a bowl. Just a regular rear end bowl. Oh and here's like three coins extra, don't spend it all in one place champ.

Skyrim cities should actually be really colorful. If you go anywhere that it's cold and dark like Russia or northern Canada, they use a lot of really bright vibrant paints on their buildings. Because it loving sucks looking at grey dreary poo poo all year round.
