Thx for advice.
You basically hold the mouse button down until your attack is max charged and then release and repeat. You need stamina to attack(don't run). I'm not sure what's so strange about it.
That is if you want to be boring, of course I always made a custom melee fire spell at the beginning, those things 2-shot monsters early on and are quite cheap. Nothing but mage is recommended for that game anyway because the custom spellcrafting feature is just insanely fun / good and the normal battle system quite sucks(I'm not sure if there's mods that make that better)

There really is nothing to understand, the combat is exactly what it appears to be during the first encounter.
Anyhow, I would not call Morrowind a very good game, or a very well designed game. In fact, I would recommend Daggerfall (for its depth, size, many innovations, still plays well on Dosbox), Oblivion (more polished all-around and high quality mods), and Skyrim (best visuals and best gameplay in terms of control and responsiveness, active modding scene) sooner than I would recommend Morrowind.

its Oblivion, not Morrowind on flash atm.
Check again. Morrowind is 75% off, usually during daily/flash deals franchise sales are implied but obviously Skyrim is excluded here (expected, as Morrowind/Oblivion weren't on sale during the Skyrim deals).
ah ic... would you recommend it?
Morrowind is the BEST RPG ever imho, Oblivion is 2nd and Skyrim goes last. Maybe the graphics are a little bite outdated in Morrwind, but if you truly enjoy awesome RPG's with an endless World and hundreds of epic and unique quests, Morrowind is the purchase to make (for 5€, i couldnt resist but grab it instantly myself! :D).
The Morrowind Overhaul mod brings the graphics up to pretty much Oblivion standard without making any changes to gameplay. (Link)
woah dude, thank you very much! Gonna go waste my life on Morrowind again ^.^!
I assume you'll be using this with the Steam version of Morrowind so make sure you read through the install guide properly

Your accuracy with attacks depends mainly on your weapon mastery and agility. The penalty for using a weapon which you have low mastery in can be quite severe so you may want to use an accuracy mod.

Thx that made my decision easier not to buy it. I usually dont like playing mage and since it seems there wasnt much to understand my first impression of the battle system didnt fool me.

Oh well thx for the tip but I dont like to use mods that change the balance of a game in any regard (except making it harder).
For the folks that want ARMA2 for just the DayZ mod, you can get the vanilla ARMA2 free, and that will allow you to only need Arrow Head. It will be 15 bucks that way. You'll just miss out on the single player missions for the first ARMA2 if I remember properly.

You know, that DayZ will be a standalone game?! I can't believe People pay to play a fucking buggy ALPHA!
Morrowind is not the game you play when you want to have awesome combat. And not modding elder scrolls game is foolish, the devs just provide a playing ground for the modders with each game and the possibilities are endless.
Also, vote Kings bounty and buy it, the game has some hundred hours of playing value, its awesome.

Wat.
If you like games which serve you everything on a silver platter, sure, get Oblivion or Skyrim over Morrowind. In Skyrim it takes you about 5 hours to become boss of some guild - in Morrowind it will take effort, dedication and 20+ hours. In Oblivion if you walk into a scary cave at lvl 1 the monsters there will be scaled for your convenience - In Morrowind you walk to a scary mountain as a freshly born adventurer at lvl 1, whack a skeleton on the head, do no damage and then get smacked back - dieing instantly.
Morrowind is one of the very few games that truely offer you a free world which makes sense in itself (5h till you're boss of the mages guild? 10-12h till you slay dragons without any trouble? REALLY?) and that doesn't hold your hand all the way along. In fact, the story and gameplay are so deep that trying to play it just to finish the main story is incredibly tiring.
Personally I tried - then I gave up, enjoyed the world and various cool characters and sidequests and started enjoying the game and the world itself. And maybe 100 hours later I finally was buff enough to finish the actual story. And then discovered some more.
No one makes games like this anymore today. The later Bethesda games (while still exemplatory for the genre) aimed to make things easier, more "casual" and more "fun" by offering quick bursts of gratification and an environment that adjusts to you. If you honestly think those are the better approaches, by all means, go for it.
As for the graphics, people earlier linked the 1.0 version of the graphics overhaul.
Here's version 2.0 (I prefer this video over the official trailer):

I know. I am getting ARMA2 because I been a fan of the series since it was the true Operation Flashpoint, back before Bohemian split from Codemasters.
