Great Morrowind Moments

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 9:35 am

Hello, I would like to hear some of your favorite Morrowind moments. I know there have probably been a million of these threads, but none of them appear to be currently in use.

Today I went to Vivec for the first time on a new character, and it was also the first time in several months I personally had seen it, as I haven't been playing Morrowind that often. But anyways I was walking through the Foreign Quarter waistworks and spied an Ordinator out of the corner of my eye. So IRL I did my best Dunmer impersonation and said 'We're watching you...scum...' aloud. Then I turned the corner and ran into the chest of a second Ordinator who said 'We're watching you...scum...' and then he turned and walked away, which left me grinning.

The first thing that now comes to mind is http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1162568-miscellanous-quests-for-a-temple-do-gooder/page__view__findpost__p__17113231. I find it really fun to play and then share the experience with others. If I ever had time, I should start a kind of interactive Morrowind save, or at least write from a playthrough. Having a blast on those rare moments I bother to do something like this! :)

Well as a new comer to morrowind my greatest moment ATM is one everyone has experienced. It starts with getting off and boat and handed 80 gold and throw out into the wild and told to survive. Pick myself up and listen to all the locals tell me im a foreigner and I look around at tbis bizarre yet beautiful new world ive been throw into without a care and I think to myself...im gonna love this game.

I got Morrowind 2 weeks ago and when I first started playing it was so fun wondering what the creatures were that I was fighting A lot of the monsters in Morrowind look very odd. Reminds me a bit of the demons in DOOM idk why though....

The year of the outlaw.
Started after an attack on an ordinator in vivec, ended up having a 21k bounty.
It was fun sneaking into towns to do business and such, even funner when I seek out Ordinators, Redoran and Telvanni for revenge.

I did not know what direction Balmora was after a couple minutes of playing...

...Waltzed into a cave north of Seyda Neen cause I was lost...

...Got slaughtered by bandits.

I avoided all non-quest related caves for the rest of the game.

You know for how limited Morrowind's voice acting is, I realized just how special it was earlier today.

In Skyrim I often give NPCs a wide berth in hopes that they don't talk to me. So I don't have to hear Nazeem do his stupid greeting for the millionth time.

Conversely, in Morrowind I find myself actually running up to NPC's hoping to get their attention so they'll talk to me. I love the smokey Dunmer voice, and the greets are short and generic enough that they aren't obnoxious. 'What do you want Outlander?'. One of the Dunmer in the Mages guild even said 'What do you think of Balmora, Outlander?' which I thought was sort of neat too. A little personalization for the region the line is spoken in. And of course who doesn't like the Ordinator lines?
