Oblivion controls can mix me up sometimes bliviongate:

I hear ya. After playing WoW for 4+years I keep trying to turn my character by pressing the keyboard or if I am in a big fight I look for my toolbar and what abilities I have that are not on cooldown :facepalm:

As a newbie who stole everything left unattended, I had saved up well over 1200 gold. I needed to talk to someone but I recognized that fact that my speechcraft level was trash. I tried to bribe him/her 10 gold: declined. Tried again: declined again. Then I realized I wasn't going anywhere without this person, so I bribed them 100 gold. Still declined and I tried a few more times. Then I thought to myself, "I bet they won't even take 1000 gold. They're just stupid." Short story long, they decided to accept that very generous sum, at which point I screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" at the tv. This was back when I didn't save hardly ever (only when I get off). I now leave autosave on, use quicksave often, and make a whole new save slot at least once every 3 hours.

The stupidest death I've ever head, though mod-related, was while water walking - the spell was almost over, so I cast it again, but I was using the Miscast mod and my spell failed, instead giving me burden and making me over-encumbered. Worse, my fatigue was 0, so my character couldn't swim up even when I removed stuff from my inventory. It has taught me to invest in dispel potions pretty early on.

I thought EVERY quest would lead you to the main one, once I became master of all guilds I started to think that maybe I should take a look at that Caius Cosades.

Well at least your cover should satisfy him then. Then again, it could be hard to do some work in secret anymore. Also, it should be impossible to get through the MQ since some essential characters should be dead by then.

hey, there's always the "black path"

Once, I made a psychotic Nord character and named him: Fetcher N'wah.

He was delighted that everyone in Vvardenfell knew his name.

Didn't know probes disabled traps until I read this

I didn't realize there was a BOAT that took you to Solstheim, so what did I do? I decided to SWIM there. As soon as I got to the shore I saw a bear and attacked it, thinking "This should be easy, I already beat Dagoth Ur!" The bear promptly mauled me. Worse, I don't think I saved before setting out for the island. :facepalm:

Haha! I've done crap like that so many times (forget to save). If MW only ever taught me one thing it was to save often. Applicable to real life when writing reports and such.

Yeah I always save in the morning. If I go through a bad day, I reload and do something different :teehee:

Tried to kill everyone in Vvardenfell

I played on the xbox to start, and one of the buttons is a toggle for sneak. Well, I forgot that I was sneaking up on someone when I tried to talk to them and got attacked for "speaking to someone while sneaking" (pickpocketing)

It wasn't until I was giving advice for the topic "advice for playing a pure mage" that I remembered this: I was sneaking into the chamber where you fight the frost giant and he hadn't detected me yet so I decided to shoot him with an enchanted ebony arrow with damage health 5000 points. He didn't even know I was there and he didn't even know what happened but I DROPPED DEAD INSTANTLY... thank you reflect!!!!

One time somebody in Tel Mora told me something about swimming out to the east to find a really powerful sword at the bottom of the ocean. I swam super far and kept searching but never found it. I think I was off the map. It was a NPC affected by the LGNPC mods that told me about it.

my first file=I had an amazing super great file, I had not started the main quest. and when i finaly started the main quest i got to the part where you need to retrive the cup; wrappings, and shield then could not find the cup i spent daysssssssssssssssssssssssssssss looking for it in the damn ruins.so i go online and find a guide and then i realize i have that damn cup already i go to my house to get it and its not there I SOLD IT. ................and i dont know where. so i quit a few months later i start up that file and run around the town im in like a crazy man. AND i find the cup.

I collected Ordinator heads (helmets) and put them on my shelf, had about a dozen of them.

Someone introduced me to the game and he was trying to get me interested by going on about every little thing in it. He was talking about how there was green glass you could find in places, and great armor was made of it. Just the green stuff, though. Not, say, this peach glass bowl. So when I started playing, I collected all the green glass cups and vases, expecting to later meet someone who would melt them down to make armor.

Then, when he explained that only the glass like in mines (which I don't think I'd even seen yet) counted, and he didn't know of a way to turn it into armor yourself, I was all, at least I can make some money selling this stuff. He was dubious, so I showed him the hundreds, maybe low thousands of gold I'd made by selling things worth about what all those dishes were worth.

He told me what daedric was worth.


There was the time I decided that sure, newbies often get into trouble by installing too many mods at once, but I am a seasoned pro! I will dump these 128 mods into one install, make a couple tiny tweaks to the load order, and start playing. Obviously this will work because I haven't thought of an obvious mod conflict yet. Also several of these mods will use MWSE, just because. (For you lucky kids who've only used a few of newer, smaller, stabler MWSE mods: imagine renaming your biggest, oldest mod to "what could possibly go wrong.esp" and then checking it with as much force as your mouse button can withstand, while something like the Imperial March or maybe that loud bit from the end of Inception plays in the background, during a thunderstorm.)


I am not sure how much this counts. There was a time I decided to do three things I had thought of trying, but didn't want to do to my ongoing saves: play a male character, take that opportunity to play Laura (a girlfriend mod), and play the Sixth House Mod. At once. I didn't really think through the implications of those unrelated mods, so I was followed around by this sweet little girlfriend who, however many dagoths I brought her with me to visit, never seemed to figure out that I might have something to do with the blight storms or that no, half the population of Ebonheart hadn't actually attacked me first. I did my very best to purge Vvardenfell of the n'wah through corprus, bad weather, and more traditional stabbings, but I bought her flowers so it was okay.

Most of my nostalgic moments for Morrowind are for that game.


Actual post I saw once: Has anyone else had the bug where the Vivec guards attack you? They keep attacking me even though my bounty is 0. Even with my full Indoril armor they still keep killing me.


Public service announcement: the quicksave function may break scripts. Then you'll STILL have to reload from three hours ago. Use the menu.

Well first time I played Morrowind, I walked around nvde for some time, (strange times), then I got to the spot where the poor wizard falls down from the sky just outside seyda neen. I jumped in my chair, wtf was that?
I loot the poor man, puts on he's colovian fur hat, ahhh, scrolls^^ lets try, so my nvde character with the colovian fur hat takes a ride to the sky, ended up somewhere near the red mountains and died, It felt weird xD

Weirdest thing? My character deciding to turn a corner of her house into a Sixth House shrine. Red candles, offerings of corprus meat, a bell hammer, books and letters, pretty much everything she could take from each Sixth House base ended up there. Not even as a trophy, almost as a respectful tribute to Dagoth Ur.

Well, at least that's what I consider the weirdest thing...

Drowed in a puddle....

I got knocked out by a guy using ahnd to hand....only i fell backward leading just in a shallow puddle.....and drowned to death.

first time I played morrowind Didn't listen about the silt strider and just went exploring in rags with a lockpick and a rusty dagger, got pretty far, encountered a bandit who demanded my money, I delcined since I was poor, then he killed me, I hadnt saved for 5 hours.....

Wait, you died by puddle

Build something that looks like a ..person, using retextured coins on the top of a mountain near Balmora.
I called it Coinbot.

In fact, i think the picture should still be on Planetelderscroll POTD.

So you're saying http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/fms/Image.php?id=27251&return_section=POTD.Detail&return_id=1546? Now I have no choice but to tell you that you, sir, are epic beyond words!
