A Journey In Morrowind

Post » Fri Aug 14, 2009 2:49 pm

Hello There

I made a thread yesterday, about what I should do from a certain point of my newly created Nord in my newly reinstalled Vanilla Morrowind. Someone told me to travel the coastline, either way, just explore, choose a random way, and just see were it takes you. So I decided to go with that, thanks for the advice, Iv'e made a descision now, and I'm on my way :wavey:

As of that, I decided to tell you guys of my new travels, make some updates here as I go. I don't promise to regularly update the thread each day, but I will try, depends on how long the interrest stays. So here we go, the first diary entry...

January 2nd, 2010:

Entry 1.

Starting in Seyda Neen as a Male Nord, I chose a cross between Medium/Heavy armor, Long Blade and Block, and the magical schools of Restoration, Mysticism and Enchanting, just to not have my character ending up as a complete barbarian. As I always used to do back in the days, I chose The Tower, as my birthsign.

After a hectic 15min choosing my skills and such, with the feeling of fear that the game would crash, which I remembered it did many times upon character creation, I went on to the next room. As always, I take all that is to take, even down in the basemant, every bucket, every knife, open the locked chest and take the 31 septims, everything. Then, It's of to hear of my duties and get the packages, after, out the door, save as fast as hell before the CTD gets me... after that, I always feel safe... Hectic minutes creating your character, atleast for me.

Next thing to do, get the axe in the stump, aswell as the coins nearby, then It's of to Mr. Falling From The Skies From My Own Failed Scrolls guy... rid of the corpse, take he's stuff (Always use he's sword in the start). Then It's of to the treestump nearby, get the dagger and the coins. After that It's of to Vit's scene and steal he's clothes, aswell as the tax records. Back at the Census Offices's I lied about finding 200 septims on Vit's body, and go of killing the murderer and still get my 500 in reward. After killing the murderer I always used to sleep in he's house until an Assasin appears, no difference this time, after a horrid bloodbath, I kib everything in the house and go of for my reward.
Next thing to do is to break into Fargoth's place, never used to do that. After some tries with my lockpick, I got inside, kibbed everything except the candle on the table, I need light... I slept for a night and was woken by another Assasin, those irritating bastards. After another bloodbath it was of to see my fellow nord at the tavern and fool around with Fargoth. Waiting until 11pm, I went up the lighthouse, stealing what's on the top of the stairway of course, outside on the top, I can see that irritating bastard trying to stealth he's way to the treestump with he's awesomely NOT good stealth skills... guards going pass him, people greeting him... Anyways, kibbed the stuff, got the Nord he's stuff, went downstairs, sold whatever stuff I didn't need, aswell as the Assasin's armors.

Usualy, I'm done in Seyda Neen after all that, and no difference this time, I went to Balmora. When there... All Your Crates Are Belong To Me!!! I roam the cities crates/urns/chests etc, and sell the goods, for then to get myself a bonemold set of armor. I also delivered the package for Caius. Usualy, I go to the Fighter's Guild after this, but have now decided to go either way, on a freelance across the land, but what way?

It Didn't take long until I decided to go southwest down the river, I kept on the right side downwards because I decided to go up north when I reached the coastline. Some hundred meters down the river I reach http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot1.jpg?t=1293988667 around a fire which they had set up themselves. I chose not to venture inside the mine because I wouldn't ruin any Fighter's Guild quests involving egg poachers that I would like to do later...

I kept on going southwest along the river, giving http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot2.jpg?t=1293988774 that goes over the river a look, Morrowind has some nice views... When I reached the coastline I caught look on http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot3.jpg?t=1293988817 on the other side of the river, I should investigate. There was not much inside the captains cabin, nor on the first floor, but downstairs, on the first level, I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot5.jpg?t=1293988994, a chest with some diamonds and some crates with... Ash Statues... Hmmm?
When outside again, I'm on the south side of the shipwreck, I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot6.jpg?t=1293989222, the chest contained a Silver Longsword, quite a catch, I love those swords.

I looked down south along the coast towards Seyda Neen, maybe I should go south and see what's there, hit Seyda Neen before I go north again?

Too be continued...

Happy now Capital? I don't think every person in the world envy gramatic like their own life, so burry with me...

January 2nd, 2010:

Entry 2.

I decided to venture south and hit Seyda Neen before I go north again, I wanted to see if there was something there.

Some 50meters down, I tested my luck by randomly checking a treestump, I found a cloth sack with 100septims... Furter down I found an http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot8.jpg?t=1294006736, I have been there before, but that was many years ago.
http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot9.jpg?t=1294006770, and found some scrolls, Hellfire, I particulary remember that one. After killing two ghosts, I get inside http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot11.jpg?t=1294006820, with the remains of a person, touching he's urn, I catch fire, it was trapped, I survived, but just barely. Inside the urn I found an enchanted ring, will come in handy, I equipped it, there was also a key inside, I used that one to open the chest beside the urn, I took the loot. As of the urn, I left the remains be, I have some amount of respect.
Outside, I went just a few meters south and saw Vit's corpse in the distant. I have bound the ends, and are now on my way north again...

Going up north again, I passed the shipwreck and went over the river again, went up the swamp and killed a mudcrab, I then gained a level, well done...
Further up, I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot13.jpg?t=1294007033, this time I fought http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot16.jpg?t=1294007106, a tougher fight, but I fell him. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot15.jpg?t=1294007039 didn't contain anything interresting realy, there was a invisibility scroll, and some emeralds and some coins laying on the floor, I also found St. Veloth's Shrine, I didn't bother using it, the effect would wear off before next fight anyways.
Outside again, I went some meters up north and found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot17.jpg?t=1294007259, I didn't bother talking with them, I just went pass as I had a feeling it involved a quest. Just pass the ship, I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot18.jpg?t=1294007306, I saw some crates under the docks, went to find out what was inside, fought two slaughter fish, and there was nothing inside the crates... I just went pass Hla Oad, had nothing to do there, up north again.

North from Hla Oad, I found a http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot19.jpg?t=1294007374 in the mist, I decided to just go passt it, I wouldn't stand a chance inside there.
Further up, I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot20.jpg?t=1294007463, I decided to talk with him. He told me to be carefull on the roads there, because of thieves and such, I soon found out that he was a thief himself, he asked for my money, and I refused, he tried to kill me, but I swong my sword and hit him hard, http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot22.jpg?t=1294007383 and I took he's loot.
Further up there was http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot24.jpg?t=1294007561, I passed that one too. Up the road I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot25.jpg?t=1294007388, I investigated It's outsides, I decided not to enter, and went down the coast to find http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot26.jpg?t=1294007567, just down the hill from the temple in a swamp.
I entered the cave, and I soon found myself inside a http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot27.jpg?t=1294007691, there were Daedric Followers inside, aswell as some beasts, I managed to defeat them, but it was my toughest battle yet.
I looked around, and found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot28.jpg?t=1294007757, scrolls, money etc.
I went outside, and continued north, I saw a Dwemer Ruin in the distant, I decided not to cross the water for it, I followed the coast and soon reached it. After having a look http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot30.jpg?t=1294007826, to map the area, I went inside. I shielded myself to get ready for whatever that was inside, I soon found out that it was for nothing, the http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot32.jpg?t=1294007830 were no match for me. The loot wasn't that epic either, there was some dwemer coins, that was all.
I went outside to find http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot31.jpg?t=1294007828, inside it I found some coins, a probe and a lockpick, I love to find stuff out in the free, in stumps, in sacks, whatever.
Now, facing up north, I will journey ahead.

Further up the coast I desided to not go just beside the water, I went some 50meters in towards land and walked up north inside the swamp. I saw a hill, and on the top, I found http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot34.jpg?t=1294008050. I went inside to find http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot35.jpg?t=1294008108, after using my Thunder Fist and Woad, aswell as my Hellfire, I had little health left, but the Clannfear dropped. I needed to rest.
After a good rest, a ventured http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot36.jpg?t=1294008054 this cave, I found a witch, she immidiately started casting magic against me, I dodged to let her use up her mana, I then attacked and she fell.
I looted her chests, I found some scrolls and some other random stuff. Further down I found a corpse, I looted 500 septims of him, and some potions, I also found another witch, I kitet her inside the cave to wear off her scamp summon, I then attacked and killed her circulating her while she tried encumbere me. I gained another level on that fight, applaus!!!
I went outside again and down the hill, I caught eye on another coastal city, http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot38.jpg?t=1294008211, On my way down I saw http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk225/Zanctillia/A%20Journey%20In%20Morrowind/ScreenShot37.jpg?t=1294008213, beautyfull creatures. I guess It's time to see if someone can buy my stuff, getting heavy carrying around all the loot.

Too Be Continued...

You seem to know where a lot of loot filled stumps are. Certainly ones I've never found. I should check out stumps more often.

Wonderful reading.

Hehe, I know every stump inn and around Seyda Neen, others I just randomnly check, It's interresting to see what's inside, although you certainly wont find anything of more worth than a cup and some coins, but I have found up to 500septims if not more in one stump :mohawk: ... Who knows, there might be some nice enchanted items too, swords, daggers whatever, if I don't remember wrong, Iv'e found a pretty nice amulet or ring or something, but no good weapons for now... but there is this axe in Seyda Neen, but it pretty much goes to the vendor if I'm not specialized in axe's with a character I make.

Also, will be doing some updates later I think, after the gym :toughninja:

The GOTY edition guide book outlines all the stumps with gear.

Needless to say....there are lots.
