Morrowind Confessions

Spent 3 hours running around wearing nothing but my tiger print y-fronts and a horned mask.

(Masque of Clavicus Vile) because it maximised my armour rating...

He looked pretty damn kinky - npc's [censored] loved it...partly because of the enchantment on the mask :batman:

Didn't know until like level 22 that probes disabled traps. So before that I would take the damage from a trap then heal then opening the thing I wanted to open.

Dumb: Thought, "Oh wow! A 2,400 gold item in Balmora!" I grabbed it and ran out. At the time I was 8 and it was my first time.

Weird: Roleplayed a skooma addict.

Some dude had an apartment in either St. Olm's or St. Delyn's, can't remember now, and I killed him and made the apartment my own. From then on, I never discarded ANY item. When I became encumbered I'd go to that apartment and dump it in this huge freaking pile that I had going on. The chests were all full, and then, in the corner of the room, was just this ungodly spire of stuff. I never used any of it, I just liked having it all. Generally, it was just a lot of books, but therew was also an unnecessary amount of pointless clutter, like bowls and plates and stuff. The world started getting bare after awhile. :P

I like jumping off of bridges... in Vivec. It helps me get down to where I want to be more quickly and the water cushions my fall.

Was doing the main quest where...
Spoiler

you are suppoast to get the Telvanni to accept you as Hrortator and you have to kill Gothren, well I read the journal wrong and I killed Neloth instead and spent a good hour wondering just why Gothren wouldn′t accept me as Hrortator.

Now when I think back, maybe Gothren was correct in thinking me to be an unworthy candidate seeing how I could murder someone with good intentions because I read a piece of parchment wrong.

Playing Morrowind on my laptop, sometimes I accidentally hit the touchpad with my weapon drawn.. at the wrong times. That's when I wish you could yield to your enemies.

When I first played I had a constant problem of attacking people because I had it in my head that I should click on people to talk to them.

Not to mention a wee bit creepy......

My level 2 character managed to figure out the cause of the hauntings at the Gateway Inn in Sadrith Mora, and put a stop to them. After settling the matter with Angaredhel, and earning the respect of all of House Telvanni, he then walked out the door and proceeded to step off the balcony, while distractedly trying to read the overhead sign (which said "Danger"), an ignominious and downright stupid ending to an otherwise promising intellectual career. At least his earlier fall from the wooden balcony outside Arille's in Seyda Neen wasn't fatal, but just as stupid. Tarhiel would have been jealous.

My one moderate-level "hunter" character, extremely adept with a bow, but minimally armored and not all that capable in melee combat, ran afoul of a pair of Khagouti on the way to Suran. No big deal; he calmly drew his bow and fired.....nothing. At his last campsite, he had laid the assortment of various types of arrows out on a table, and forgotten to pick them back up again. The two Khagouti had a nice "tender" meal that day.

Tried to fight off 15+ Cliff Racers with a level 6 character with a broken Glass Dagger. I was running for a good 10 minutes before found an imperial fort to hide out at.

Mine was probably when i thought you could be god in morrowind so i tried to kill vivec at lvl 2 so i could be a god that was the dumbest.

to be fair,by the time you can kill vivec your character practically is a god.

My worst one was probably back when I first started playing Morrowind. I decided that instead of taking the Silt Strider, I'd save the money and walk there. "It's somewhere to the North, right?". Well, after the first cave I encountered having a mage in it who nearly killed me, and me having looted plenty of random worthless things (that at the time I thought were worth a fortune), I started to drop everything in my inventory that wasn't worth much.

Then, some time and two accidental visits to Peligiad later (it was dark!) I made my way to Balmora, tracked down Caius Cosades, and then wondered why he wouldn't accept the package I had for him, and so gave up and joined the Fighters' Guild.

Cut to nearly a year later. Having completed everything but the main quest, I started wanting to start it. So, I thought back, checked all of the merchants in Balmora, couldn't find the package... Checked the ones in Peligaid. No package...


Then retraced my every step, going through every nook and cranny, trying to find that darned package that I'd dropped on my way out of Seyda Neen.


... After giving up, I went to the Tradehouse in Seyda Neen to sell loot.
Guess where the package I'd spent six hours trying to find was?

At first I thought the silt strider was an enemy, I was really afraid to go near it...

Before I learned the controls, I slapped Hrisskar Flat-Foot in the face when I meant to initiate dialogue with him.

Well he deserved it. Poor Fargoth...

Dumbest: Didn't give into Gaenor's demands.... Thank God for the health cheat.

Weirdest: Increased the fortifications to my stronghold by building a pillow fort! Only to have my efforts foiled by my xbox freezing. :/

Weirdest? Hm... I got a charakter that i played for ... 1000 hours? Dunno. Got him since 5 years or so... So, he was pretty much invincible, did all the quests, had a Daedric Ruin full of loot worth ~10M Septims, and i thought "Well, would be fun to run trough Solstheim with an empty Inventory so i can carry more loot". You should have seen my face as i got killed by a Rieckling... So i got my equipment back, continued the slaughter, and first noticed that my Daedric Battle Axe was broken after five minutes because i swang it with such force...

Fetched a lot of books, made a pot of tea, turned the light off and lit some candles and spent the next five hours reading aforementioned ingame books... Happy times.

Started a new character yesterday and noticed that i have memories of literally every rock in Molag Amur (I spent the first 100 hours of my 1000-hour-character wandering the wastelands, collecting Trama Roots and Cliffracer Feathers, brewing levitation potions).

Dumbest? Everything above i guess :) Got ill ingame and deleted that charakter because i couldn't get my attributes back.

Ran up to an Ordinator shouting "I'M WATCHING YOU TO, SCUM!!" at my Screen and got killed in one hit.

For a long time I thought that if your cursor was lined up on the lock of a door/ chest that your lockpick attempt would always work. Think I did it once and it worked so I kept trying it....

Spent 56,000 gold on a ring of Constant Effect Restore Fatigue 12 points to counteract a sprinting mod that I have. Then, after several frustrating days, I discovered a correlation between wearing that ring and my game crashing often.

Stealing, buying or fetching every blue glass lamp, blue paper lamp and skull I could get my hands on, to make the inside and outside of Tel Uvirith more homely for a wizards taste.

There wasnt a tall rock or tree around the place that didnt have a lamp or skull on.

I always Imagined stray guar herders and travellers being drawn in by the light, seeing all the skulls, and moving right back where they came from.

Dumbest? Easy. Playing for a about a five hour block, running to complete all of the Nerevarine Ashlander camps as well as the Hortator quests, and at the fifth hour, had my wonderful CTD. Was so wrapped up in the moment I didn't even think of saving. Nowadays I am like that member here with the avatar of the Anime character hitting the F5 button like a Morse Code operator.

Weirdest would be when I needed to get character descriptions for the personalities in the novel I wrote from my favorite mods, so I put on the ring from the Arimer mod "Cloudy", and walked chameleoned all over the entire world up to each character I needed and wrote clinical notes about their features and clothing. Then had to repeat it for the domiciles.

For the first time I played as a thief. Complete with light armor and short blade. God it was hard. I always played full warriors with ebony or daedric stuff. With my thief, killing a simple rat became a real mission of its own : buy potions, summon bound dagger, pray and kill the rat. After some days, I began to wonder what did I wrong, I leveled a bit, it was still damn hard.

I had the difficulty slider at 100...
