I had already finished the main quest by then and was currently on the Shivering Isles. I basically got too impatient and cheated my character up to imba levels, running around the Shivering Isles at super speed and killing everything in my path. | ||

Thus, I kept on playing with no clue I had screwed myself over, and like 200 hours further into the game when I tried to continue on at some later point in the main quest I apparently had to talk to this guy that I found still dead on the floor where I left him. So I never got to finish it You can beat the Morrowind main quest without talking to a single person, all the items you need and the end boss are accessible at any time, even level 1. The game does try to kill you for doing that, but you can get around it. | ||

The ability to finish the game without doing the vast majority of the main quests has been an extremely important element of Morrowind speed runs, as well as the ability to glitch the crap out of the game. | ||

On November 10 2011 01:49 Zanno wrote: I actually have a really long story, which directly ties into what you were talking about and is very reflective on why oblivion is one of the best games to come out in recent years. So, this is my third character. My first one beat the game and did all the major questlines, and my second one I played until I was completely maxed out on all stats. So at this point, I knew all the ins and out of what to do and how to break the game. Anyway, with this character, I set a few challenges on myself 1) I'd play on very hard from level 1 2) I would not break the law 3) most importantly, and you'll see why when i finish the story, i banned myself from use of a couple spells, most notably chameleon Anyway, so I'm coming out of an oblivion gate near leyawin, going back to town to sell off my loot, and I accidentally slip and instead of click on the gate, I clicked on the horse of the guard at the gate. This knocks the damn guard off of the horse, and counts as stealing the horse. Now honestly I was pissed off mostly because the last time I saved was while mass reloading to get the sigil I wanted, and I didn't want to do that all over again, but also because it was a complete accident. But obviously all attempts to reason with the law in oblivion will fail, so I try to run away and for some reason I just cannot get him off my trail, because the area I was in was too rocky and difficult to move around quickly. So eventually I just kill the guard, and at that point I decide these charges were such bullshit that I'm just never going to turn myself in, and the crime spree begins. Changed my mind entirely about being lawful and start up the thieves guild quest, gave up on selling heavy shit like armor and weapons for money and made money to fuel my spells by using the portals in frostcrag to go sell potions to the mage's guilds. Flash forward about 60 hours of doing this later, and eventually one day I just plain didn't feel like fast travelling all the way to frostcrag just to enter the town (skingrad) that I happened to be right next to. This turned out to be a huge mistake, it ended up becoming a total bloodbath between the guards and the mages guild, and unfortunately, because I always travel alone and banned myself from summons, I never thought to develop any touch healing spells. After about half the guild died, I finally gave up, and turned myself in, even paid the bounty which was tens of thousands of septims from all the guards I had killed at this point. Anyway, after I got out of jail, I went back to the mage's guild to sell off my stuff, come out the door, and the most unbelievable shit happened. It actually baffled me so bad I went to UESP (the most useful elder scrolls site out there) to figure out what happened - turns out there's a weird quirk in the guard AI. NPCs can be reported for crimes, but they can't be arrested, the guard will only kill them, even for something as insignificant as stealing a loaf of bread. I assume that's the reason when I walked out of the guild that I saw some guard wailing one of the helpless beggars, because they're programmed to steal food if they run out of donations. At this point, I was in complete awe and disbelief that a video game could actually put you in an ambiguous moral scenario where the right thing to do is technically the wrong thing to do. I really cannot stress enough how ridiculously timed this was. It wasn't like I finally turned myself in, then a few days later this happened - this happened literally right after I walked out of jail and finished shopping. I shook my head, said aloud "clearly this was never meant to be", and pummeled the guard with the strongest poisons I had on hand, and went full on robin hood mode for the rest of the game. After that incident I snapped on my chameleon ban and finally made a 100% camo suit (it was something i was easily capable of doing at that point in the game and took like 15 minutes to do) but only to use in towns, but it wasnt because I was worried about dying, but rather I didn't want any more collateral damage to happen. lol that was hilarious. I always do Thieves Guild just so that if I get in trouble with the law I can just pay it all away at half price or whatever it was ^^. Once you're leveled/have enough good gear, killing guards is the funnest thing to do haha. On one character I went around collecting all the cities' different guard uniforms hahaha. | ||

My brother and I would take turns reloading from a save from right before you first talk with him. We would wait until night and see how many different ways we could kill him without getting caught because we thought he was creepy. Also lots of other people have mentioned the guy falling out of the sky after trying his flight spell. Its actually a +3000 acrobatics for 9 seconds or something and he has 3 scrolls for it on his body. First time I found him I used one and was disappointed when it didn't immediately do something fancy. I decided to jump on down the road to my destination and with my first hop I found myself flying through the air so high that the ground beneath was wasn't even rendered. After a long FFFUUUUUUU I landed quite far away and immediately died from the fall damage. On later playthroughs I would eventually use these scrolls as a way to quickly get to the main city. I figured out the perfect trajectory to land myself in the water right outside one of the gates. I have one pretty crazy oblivion AI story. I was watching my brother play, he was wasting time in the imperial city trying to steal stuff off people/tables in one of the large inns. He was near a table with 6-7 npcs near him. He went into sneak mode but was not hidden and picked up an apple from the table. I'm not sure why he did this as the apple wasn't owned, he could have just picked it up without "stealing" it. Anyway, as soon as he picked it up an npc near him pulls a hammer out and swings it in his direction. The blow does not hit my brother but was apparently aimed at an invisible npc who, as soon as he takes the blow, is revealed and is also crouched in sneak mode. He immediately stands up, casts a restoration spell and runs outside. The 6-7 other npcs immediately follow and so does my brother. When the street outside loads we see these 7 npcs beating the hell out of the sneaky one. Like it was crazy I swear they were like CSI angry mob flashback style murdering him, still swinging at him after he was down. Once he was dead the crowd went back inside and just chilled as if nothing ever happened. It was gloriously weird. | ||

Also spending about 3 hours trying to kill an orator for his bonemeld armor. that was some fine ass armor. Have to say this though, my discovery of oblivions OOO, coming out of the sewers and swimming to vilverin, instead of the noobie 2 bandits i found in vanilla, there was now 4 bandits fighting a hooded vigilante who proceeded to kill 3 of them for me while i took on an archer. Got some epic lootz only to follow the hooded person and try and talk to her. I got 2 hit by a slaughterfish... | ||

Basically you start a new dude, and get him to molag maar AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because in that town there is an NPC in a room alone, right by a very handy door. You just taunt this guy into attacking you. (he has a full set of glass armor and the best longsword in the game, he is also the master trainer in long blade xD) Once you've gotten him hostile, charge into his face and he will back up to cast a spell....but he backs up right into the corner. You then open the door right next to him and he gets stuck in between the wall and the door. Kill him, take all his shit, and then it's off to talk to the famous Mudcrab. I walked away from the mudcrab at lvl 1 with around 150k gold. And then you can do whatever the fuck you want. This also solves the problem of getting endurance maxed ASAP, cause you just go to the spear or heavy armor trainer and just boost yourself up. At my current point after a good 10-15 hours in, I have over 500k gold, I'm lvl 30, have 4 golden saints in grand soul gems ready for boss enchants, have speed/agi/str/endurance all at 100, and working on getting more of the best gear in the game. hehehehe, prolly my favorite part of Morrowind is the ability to just know where shit is. My buddy (the one who found this glorious method of starting out a new dude) was telling me "hey, if you just go over here you can get the second best helmet in the game" or "go into this cave and look here and you can find the best heavy armor handpieces in the game" So ya, Brokening the game is my favorite part of Morrowind. And honestly, I'm prolly gonna play Skyrim till I can't physically stand it anymore....and then go back to playing Morrowind at some point xD. | ||

Morrowind: When I became the leader of the imperial forces in Vvardenfell. Oblivion: When I realised the ancient and supposedly super powerful vampire was as easy to kill as a regular bandit. That is also when I realized that the game was a piece of shit. | ||

Went to Vivec. Declared aloud, much to my families displeasure as I was quite loud, that "I AM THE NEW LORD OF VIVEC. BOW BEFORE ME OR I SHALL LEAVE THIS WORLD IN RUINS." I proceeded to hit an Ordinator, run around gathering up as many of them as I could and then summoned as many bonewalkers as I could for an epic battle. Summoned about...200ish bonewalkers? Maybe? Game crashed. My words rang true. I left their world in a ruin. Moral of the story: I am God. | ||
