This thread has been linked to the game 'The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind'.
I have been debating wether to get this title for a while now, and yesterday decided I would try it. Hey i could always take it back if it was crap!
This game will not be going back.
Is this game big or what? I find myself wandering off exploring and indulging in sub quests. The atmosphere in this game is really unnerving even when u walk into a room for a little theft, then suddenly notice a stange person standing in the corner of the room watching this intruder with their beady little eyes! It's made me jump several times!
I am however having a little difficulty with the fighting aspect of the game.....I keep getting killed by two giant rats! Is there a better weapon for creatures that are low to the ground? I have been using a big mother of an axe but it just swings about missing the damm vermin? Also been killed by a ghost and skelaton combo and a crazy minor with a sword, in fact the only thing I have managed to kill was the ferry(big insect) operator which I duely got locked up for!
I feel if I play this game in long periods I will go mad.
Has ne body got any tips or stories about this game?
I know there is another Morrowind thread but as does happen it has gone off on a tangent!! So for all things Morrowind come here!
This game will not be going back.

Best thing to do is to see what kind of weapon your character is better with. No point using an axe if he has a long-blade preference.
The rats quest is tricky at first, try going to Ebonheart and joining The Imperial Cult - their quests are low-level danger and let you build up money and items without too much fighting.
Just explore, talk to people, join Guilds and do whatever you want to.
The Blades Quests in Balmora (the half-naked old man ones) are the main story quests, I'd leave those until you have got quite a bit of experience or you'll find yourself getting your ass handed to you on a regular basis.
I've been playing, on and off, for about 2 months now and I'm pretty tough. Rats dont last longer than a single swipe, as do most people.

I've got it too. I played it for several hours when I first got it. Getting killed by those stupid rats on the first quest did my head in.
I took to stealing stuff and selling it to get better armour and swords/shields.
To be honest I found it frustrating and lost interest. I've not been back to it for a while. Can't seem to get the enthusiasm together to have a proper crack at it. I will do some day, but I'm currently waiting for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic released in a couple of weeks.
There doesn't seem to be much action in the game does there?

is Ebonheart another town? Currently looking for the charming theif for that lady. think i will take your advice and just build myself up and do smaller quests.
Don't kill the Silt Strider guys! that's how you get around the world.
I've been playing Morrowind for over 6 months. Brilliant game.
Basically, talk to people, join a guild which suits your character's skills/attributes. It's a big, big game and it takes a while to become powerful - especially in wielding weapons and using magic.
Most things are possible in Morrowind, like walking on water, levitating, invisibility, summoning demons, creating magical weapons and items, breathing underwater, shooting fireballs from magical gloves, etc, etc, I could go on and on... it just takes time and knowledge.
Enjoy it. Easily my favourite game.

Yeah, Ebonheart is down the bottom, I think it's the lowest part of the map there is - just below Vivec.
You can take a silt strider from Balmora or a number of other towns.
Head to Vivec and go South until you come to a small castle - that's Ebonheart.
Go in, head towards the main part of the castle, go up some stairs and across a walkway. Go through the door, straight across the room and out the other door.
Door on your left is The Imperial Cult Shrine.
Their missions range from collecting money from different people to hunting for ingredients for potions.
It's not the most thrilling of quests, but it will get you familiar with the area and by the time you've done a few, you'll find yourself with loads of gold, potions, weapons and your stats will have increased.
I'd steer clear of Fighter's Guild quests or the main Blades quests for a while.

Not at first, but that's you suck and have no strength/armour/gold etc.
The first few hours are spent being guided around the island, collecting things that will help, easing you into things.
Once you aren't quite so feeble, it begins to pick up speed.
I'm currently fighting Vampire clans.

Hah! I AM the vampire clans, and I shoot you wiv my fangs.
Actually it sucks. I have to reload constantly because every five minutes some vital character attacks my vampiric ass, forcing me to kill them.
