is there any way to reset your skill points?

Yes: in each faction capital there is a temple with two altars that allow you to respec your attribute points and choose between resetting your skills or just the morphs.

Look at Stam Sorc guide, replace Surge with Vigor, Blood Craze, and Bloodthirst. Add in Venomous Claw, Noxious Breath, Volatile Armor, and Standard of Might where appropriate. Roll 2-Handed and Sword and Shield if you want to PvP.

Thank you!
Now, for another one: I've got a non-goon friend who is looking for a tanking build that can still deal some damage if needs for her Dragonknight; what would you suggest?

Man the thieves guild quest line in this is really good huh? On the surface it has a lot of the same elements as Skyrims, but it just blows their thieves guild out of the water.

It's what happens when you have writers that are good/not forced to cobble together what they already had to meet deadlines.
And since this is an MMO, you expect that the quests would take you into dungeons, but despite this they still present a better thieving experience than the TG in Skyrim did. :v:

I started about a week ago and find the amount of open world exploration stuff to be overwhelming, in a good way. Each zone is just packed with poo poo to do and with scaling the game is basically levelless so you can go anywhere.

Also the level designers have added small hidden areas everywhere that quests will never take a player directly there and they usually have hidden loot chests or heavy bags so that exploration is also rewarded with actual goodies.
It's clear the designers have put a fair amount of effort in building the game world. :shobon:

This was loving hilarious, the experience points lost were well worth the comedy. Proof that no matter how many layers of kid gloves modern MMOs try to put on PvE mechanics, the potential to grief is always there

The best part is that, unless it was changed, there are a few ways of preventing this: if any of the pubbies had healed one of them, they would've gotten full credit for all the mob kills. But they decided to rage in chat instead. :downs:

A word of caution that Stay-Moist mansion does not have a level floor, and I assume the same holds true for the other Argonian and Bosmer houses at least. It is completely impossible for me to place a carpet without having it either clip through the floor or hover a few inches above it.

A possible workaround until Zenimax improves this is to disable"Surface Drag Mode" so that you can set the height with your mousewheel and look controls. It takes a bit of practice, but it should allow you to have the carpet be as close as possible to the floor so that it looks decent.

You can... But you can't use those characters. I understand Oceanic users joining the US servers but I wouldn't recommend switching over from EU.

On the other hand if he wants to play with goons (which I recommend) switching is the main option since I don't believe there are many playing on the EU server and if he didn't buy anything in the Crowns store the only loss is having to level a new character.
That said latency is rarely a big issue on US playing from EU.

Yeh, I feel this is the best crafting system I have ever encountered in an MMO.

Agreed.
I do wish the research timers wouldn't take up to a month to research the last couple of traits for one item, but aside from that I really like the way crafting was handled.

I doubt it works as a hook�if I'm losing interest, being able to craft a few more equipment sets certainly isn't going to pull me back in a few weeks. It almost feels like the sort of design decision intended to get you to spend real money to work around it, except you can't.

I suspect it's a carryover from when the game was full-on subscription-based.

Can't say I'm not excited, but it's kind of weird to see Seyda Neen show up with the exact same imperial architecture it had in Morrowind. It shouldn't even exist yet!

In the livestream Bethesda did the other week, they asked two level designers about it and they explained why it look like this in-lore.
Out of lore it's because the first version was too different to be recognizable so they changed it to look more similar to how it did in TES3. :v:

Given the implementation, "skullduggery" or "thievery" would probably be what I would call it since it's not just pickpocketing but also fencing goods, bribing guards and breaking locks.

As for the TG, I liked the story: while it is rethreading the themes of Skyrim, the implementation is done well instead of that mess and while I admit this is down to personal preference, I liked that it wasn't an epic story involving daedric princes or what not.
Which is also what I liked about how it was done in Morrowind, being effectively about the war between two criminal organizations, and in Oblivion where it's all about pulling a massive heist (even if it does involve an Elder Scroll).

So this game has no transmog sort of deal to play pretty princess?

You can convert some stuff to Imperial style if you have the Imperial upgrade and the deluxe edition of Morrowind will give you the ability to convert some items to Morag Tong style, but that's it.
Which sucks.

The starting 'faction' only matters if i want to PVP with people in the guild, right?

I don't care about PVP at all and wanted to start a new character but don't want to repeat the initial quests all over again :<

edit: wait, i'm reading on another forum that there's a new 'area' for starting morrowind players?

With One Tamriel you can do any content you want whenever with whomever so faction only matters for PvP. And yes, if you have Morrowind new players have a different introductory quest where you start on a boat headed to Vvardenfell; after you complete the new introductory quest you can play normally or take a quest that will take you to the mainland where the original story starts (you get kidnapped, Mannimarco stabs you, you are the Vestige now).

I have just reached CP160 with my magicka templar, i'm not sure how enlightenment works but I was enlightened right up until CP155. I was also able to get my clothing, blacksmithing and woodworking to level 50 and enchanting to level 35 without use of the crafting bag, I did this by not holding onto trait stones (which most of are stocked in the guild bank) and when my bank filled up with materials I would craft all the glyphs I could untill I ran out of aspect runestones (besides the 3 main ones).
I have spent all my gold on bag and bank slot upgrades (at the moment 125 inventory and 140 bank slots) and occasionally crafting materials to complete writs. I am tempted to start collecting materials for alchemy and provisioning now but this would require emptying my bank of unneeded low level equipment materials which I cant see myself using anyway. Also the addon Lazy Writ Crafter is amazing.

Edit: only researching staves and 7 armour pieces that my character wears also saves me bank space for items to research.

If I remember correctly, you gain Enlightment by being offline and possibly by playing level 49- characters.
One suggestion I would make is to maybe subscribe for a single month if you are planning on crafting more: that will automatically transfer all the crafting materials in a separate Crafting Bag, whose contents will remain accessible even after the subscription expires though you won't be able to put more materials in.
This has the potential of freeing up a lot of bank space and the bag is accessible account-wide.
You also get a few Crowns to buy cosmetics with :v:

That's actually a callback to Tarhiel the Mage, the unfortunate fellow who discovers several Scrolls of Icarian Flight in Elder Scrolls III Morrowind, which increase your Acrobatics skill by 1000 for 7 seconds. Using one and simply tapping the jump button while the scroll was active catapulted you tens of thousands of feet in the air, high enough to jump from one side of Red Mountain to the other in a single leap.

Much the same as Ofglog, he dies after jumping and the scroll effect running out mid-leap, leading to a rather sudden stop on the other end of the leap.

In addition to the dailies mentioned before you can also keep any further crate unopened until you get to the level you want: the item in those crates scales to your current level when you open them.

Apparently you can just steal someone's lockbox if they back off it? My friend said they unlocked a box, hand to clear inventory space and had it stolen out from under them.

Yes. Lockboxes, thieves' troves and random treasure chests are not instanced, so if you open one but don't pick the items up, someone can just come by and get them instead without having to bother with the lockpicking minigame.
Of note is that the potential level of the item(s) inside is scaled to the player opening it.

The boost is only valid during the festival. But you can use it as much as you want during that time, apparently.

Like they sell an Attribute respec scroll for 700 crowns. And a skill respec scroll for 700 crowns. Are those also attainable via gold? Because I have like 14k gold at this point.

Sure thing: when you switch to the outfit to edit, you'll see the added option of choosing armor and weapon styles, like so

once you've selected the various styles (including prisoner's rags under "Clothing" in the respective armor category (chest/legs/feet)) you can dye them and your weapon like if you were coloring normal armor

once the outfit has been created, you can select it in your Character screen, from a drop-down menu located right under your Titles menu

You can buy the square runes from the various Enchanters. It used to be rune nodes were separated by type, but then it was changed so that a single node can give multiples. I think that's when they also changed it so square runes are sold by NPCs.
