Stealing in morrowind is ezpz, I can steal almost anything in the game at level 1 with no sneak skill whatsoever. The hardest part is actually opening locks, but thats nothing scrolls can't solve.

Going to read through more of the OP and see if I don't just get too excited to play right away xD
Edit: Just reading through most of the thread gives me my answers. Probably going to snipe my roomies Morrowind and see if I like it enough to get the pack before it's off sale.
argh! just get the package! :D they're a great game(TES4) and an awesome game(TES3) for a nice price. Just do it.
I think TES3(Morrowind + expos) is better. I don't really know how to compare/contrast with Oblivion, though. They're completely different games.
Just get the pack! You'll have your own copy of the game and won't need any CD's.
Planning on it now! Which do you recommend to play first, assuming one was going to play through both? Also are there any definitive mods for Morrowind (or either) that simply enhance the game but don't add any new content? Saw some links in the first few pages but wasn't sure if those were recent/updated/recommended.
I'm getting too hyped! Hope its worth it xD
Edit: Holy shit just realized that this mod that was linked in the thread was just updated this week! That recently! O_O
Considering the thread title, you should know which I recommend more :D
But to really get the most of Morrowind, you're gonna have to put a lot of time into it, unlike Oblivion, which is a LOT shorter and smaller.
So I guess my real question would be, should I pre-game my TES experience with Oblivion before I hit Morrowind, even though it's the elder (hah.) game =P
I've gathered that they're really different and difficult to compare, but would it be wise to play the "easier" one first lol
Morrowind if you want to really get into something, and Oblivion if you want something to load up every now and then in some spare time.
You make time for Morrowind, whereas Oblivion fills already spare time.
So I should spend the last few weeks of summer with Morrowind and save Oblivion for when the semester starts ;P

Because you can do things like create a god that can jump off of mountains and live. Do a flying sneak attack with a spear, land, jump back, pull out the bow and land 5 shots before it gets close to you.
Make totally custom spells that do whatever you want.
The mudcrab.
The zillions of glitches that can be abused to make the game so insane, like going to the master long sword guy, taunting him into attacking me, trapping him between a door and the wall, and killing him with about 100 arrows, and at least 5 daggers at lvl 1. Then going to the mudcrab still at lvl 1 and making 150k gold off of the items I got off the master long sword trainer.

That dude is now set for adventure.
Ya, you can do this in morrowind without abuse of any glitch :D
Morrowind has a lot of opportunities for everyone. You can play a streamlined game, mainly focussing on the main quest. You can play a game where you do every quest you get, become master of all guilds and collect all the good armor and weapons in the game. You can abuse the game to get good stuff really fast. You have tons of options for roleplay (vampire and werewolf included).
And then you can add a ton of mods to your game. Or you can create your own mod.
Alright, guys, I'm back and ready to get on this. I'm gonna try and do things in large chunks, as I have only 22 days until I move into my college dorm.

An update: I've been playing this game straight since this post. At least 30 hours so far, probably more. Can't stop. I've done two full guild chains and I'm finally forcing myself to work through the rest of the main quest line (on the Fourth Trial atm, Fifth already done) so I can finish the game first and THEN dick around with more side quests and/or a new character. Also I'm actually looking forward to blitzing through Oblivion shortly thereafter for a side-by-side comparison, and so I can feel that I've not wasted the money for it when I come directly back to Morrowind to play 2-3 new characters xD.
