Also, the combat system is different. As in worse. It is determined whether you hit or not by your weapon stat, luck, and some other factors I think. It's quite obnoxious really :s Overall, the gameplay is waaaaayy better, but more difficult also. If you don't have patience, you won't really go far in this game I find Bolded part one: I disagree D: It is in no way worse. I find that if you don't enable 'always use best attack', that it takes more effort to put that hit on someone, however, I don't think anyone leaves that box unchecked :D. Also, I think that it is more rewarding to get that big hit on someone in TES3, becuase you can actually knock people down or knock them back. This is different from Oblivion, where it is pure hack and slash. Afaik, there aren't any reactions to big hits in TES4. But in single conbat in Morrowind, I usually use an Axe. Specifically, a two-handed Bound Axe. I get a feeling of satisfaction by making a Dremora Lord fall to the ground before my feet, allowing me to bring my mighty axe down upon his skull. I don't think that can come in Oblivion :/ Bolded part two: I agree with this so. Damn. Much. Patience is key to this game. Mainly from the lack of free Fast Travel from any place to any other marked place, at least. There is still fast transport, but it is more realistic in that you need to pay a small fee for it, and it's between large cities. However, this gets you more immersed into the game universe. You get more time on the ground(or above it, with Levitation), which gives you more time to walk around and look at everything, and it gives you more time to get acquianted with the land of Morrowind. | ||

Then you make permanent enchanted jump armor, and you travel ridiculously fast :D. I got really efficient at it. Started playing it at the start of last week, had some time last weekend, now I am nerevarine, head of most groups, finished tribunal and just started on bloodmoon. Hmm, what to do with almalexias soul though? | ||

I find myself kind of annoyed with Telvanni towers :/ too much levitation required, even though I had a CE +4 Levitation belt(which I barely used due to the low +Lev). I also think that it's hard to find your way around sometimes, due to the twisty nature of the mushroom towers. I still like the outsides of the Mushroom Towers, though, as they blend nicely with the regions they're in. They also are one of the most memorable things in Morrowind. I still prefer the traditional style of house. I like the simple look and feel of it, along with being able to navigate rather easily. | ||

Hmm, what to do with almalexias soul though? Save it, or enchant a Deadric weapon with it. I have a collection of soul gems that I've collected from just about every Dagoth I've killed. I've made a small exhibit of them atop a Balmora rooftop. Some of the other ones have been used to e nchant Daedric weapons with an enchantment that I feel suits the soul put into it, along with the Dagoth's name in the weapon name, as a reminder of who was killed to make it. But as a heads-up, Almalexia's soul is worth less than that of a Golden Saint, IIRC. | ||

I simply jump up in the towers :D. Almalexias soul is the strongest soul in the game (and makes azuras star worth 7.5 million gold), about 4 times larger than a golden saint I think. Absorb health weapons are the strongest, but I wanna do something more creative. | ||

Absorb health weapons are the strongest, but I wanna do something more creative. I just have CE speed and CE bound armor + weapons, so I get the speed boost without the speed loss from wearing the armor. I also have CE restore health and CE restore fatigue, so I can constantly run, and actually gain stamina when not swinging my mighty axe, and getting some between blows. I'll check out CE jump and slowfall items, too, once I get back home this monday(or tuesday). Also, I do indeed stand corrected. 1500 Soul > 400 Soul. However, If you're going to enchant something with it, DO NOT waste such a big soul on a CE, as a Golden Saint is made for CE. Get a Daedric weapon, and make a Cast on Strike enchant, make use of that gigantic soul rating. | ||

Besides, why would I need to absorb health if I'm not getting hurt? I just find that I don't really like Cast on Strike that much :/ unless it's early in the game, where I need something that can hit spectral enemies, and Silver weapons don't give me the damage I want. | ||

I never really played Morrowind, never got the hold of me. However once I wanted to beat goblins & bandits with a claymore and I installed Oblivion... And I loved it! But there must be something to Morrowind which Oblivion lacks?? Is it the story line? (Never really played the story line in Oblivion, I found it boring and repetitive!) regards, | ||

I played the crap out of it, and I still hadn't seen most of the stuff on the East coast. The combat sucks a bit because of the missing, but I feel like there were so many more quests. | ||

(Never really played the story line in Oblivion, I found it boring and repetitive!) regards, The story, the world and most of the game mechanics. It's just better. For Almalexias soul, I wanna do one of the following: Daedric Dai-Katana on strike: -100 points chamaeleon for 3 or 4 seconds on self, meaning I am invisible while fighting, and can just hunt every opponent down without them being able to do anything about it. Can just make permanent chamaeleon armor though, but that freaks people out  .-100 points sanctuary for 3 or for seconds on self, making me invulnerable in melee with that weapon. Can make that as constant effect as well, but I would have to not wear my jump armor then. Daedric Tower Shield (need to find one first though): -Some form of bomb spell with 100 fire/frost/shock/poison damage 1 second on touch or on target. And with the speed you can activate enchanted items, its basically the highest dps thing there is. (apart from alchemy abusing strength :D): Goes well until something reflects it. -Fortifiy Strength, Acrobatics and Jump each 100 points for like 3 seconds on use, for fast travel. Although I can do that with spells right now. Basically, the bomb spell would make the most use out of size of the soul, but I need to find a tower shield first. | ||

Although I can do that with spells right now. Basically, the bomb spell would make the most use out of size of the soul, but I need to find a tower shield first. I would say... For the Dai-Katana, if you want a Sancuaty spell, I would recommend Cast on Use. It seems like a Cast on Strike 100pts Sanctuary on Self would waste the charge rather quickly, especially if you need a lot of hits to kill your target, or if you have a bunch of smaller targets to deal with. However, you could use an Absorb Strength + Burden to basically immobilize them for easier killing. I just don't really like Cast on Strike spells very much :/ For a Daedric Tower shield, though, you can find them on Golden Saints. Just summon one, and use the perma-summon exploit in console. Summon the GS, open console, select the GS, sethealth 0. rapidlyexit and reenter console, and Resurrect the GS. It should now be a normal GS, and will drop whatever it has on it. It will also attack you/other people/guards. However, you can repeat the killing and resurrection process until you get a GS with a Daedric tower shield. For the enchantment, though, a spell that gave lots of + to Jump and Acrobatics would be nice, to get you out of sticky situations quickly, and allowing you to change out your currrent set of armor for a different one, with other enchantments. Like CE Bound Armor, or CE Sanctuary, which is something I wanna check out now. Just imagining, CE +100 Sanctuary would be so | ||

You'll see that the graphics aren't terrible. | ||
