Built a mini shrine of Ordinator's armor, or running around naked at high speed, punching out said Ordinators, to acquire the armor for the shrine.
Both were pretty equally strange.

I enjoyed stacking all of my armor and items in nice piles. For soulgems, i would look up, and jump as i as i could before going to the menu, then drop each filled soulgem one at a time of the same type. When i was done, i'd land and there'd be a nice perfectly straight stack tower of gems going up.

After Caius Cosades left for the Imperial City I ended up using his house as a place to dump my valuable weapons and armour that wouldnt fit in my inventory. I have maybe 200 thousand gold worth of weapons and armour...pity none of the shopkeepers could have enough money to buy all that!!

I told my character to go left not right. I then realized that morrowind was not real. Boy was my face red.

I left the Census Office and went over to Arrille's Tradehouse. This was my very first time in the game. I see a nice-looking spear leaning against the wall and I think to myself, "That looks nice. I think I'll buy it," and so I click on it.

Before I know what's going on everybody in the building is rushing around counters and down stairs with weapons drawn. A box appears on my screen asking me if I want to load a previous save.

Been there. More often then not you can't tell if something is owned if it's outside, or inside half the time.

Kinda wish they added a put-back-to-default feature, where the shopkeeper runs up to you and says 'HEY PUT THAT BACK!' and you can click 'Ok' to do it. and it undoes the action and everyone's happy, , or click 'No Way' and keep it with angry mobs around you. Could fix a lot of problems.

A second option they could have done, is if your a shop and items owned by a shop-keeper, they don't attack you, and you can go to the counter and it's pre-selected for buying (maybe have an eerie green glow spell put on you that lasts an hour till dispelled, and you can't hide/go invisible with it on. Like a big Neon sign pointing to you that says 'I stole Stuff, Arrest me please!'), so If you leave without paying the guards know and you are immediately captured/arrested. But that's wishful thinking.

Well, the story goes something like this. I finally got a crossbow, and was super excited. I mean, I was [censored] ecstatic. So I look at a netch off in the distance. I thought it wouldn't hit, being so far away, so I took aim jokingly, and shot it.

My reaction?

"OH [censored] OH [censored] OH [censored] IT'S DEFLATING WHY IS IT DEFLATING OH MY GOD I'M A NETCH MURDERER WHAT'S WRONG WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

---First time through I tried to kill Orvas Dren at level 4 or 5 because I thought his armor looked cool and I wanted it.....that was a pretty dumb idea.....

---I had gotten into a vicious fight with an orc outside a Daedric shrine and he almost killed me and my health was very low.....but I managed to do him in first......I was really EXCITED over my VICTORY and I turned around and a mud crab finished me off.......

---I wanted to talk to a merchant....can't remember which one.....I wasn't paying close attention when I hit the space bar and stole something off the counter instead of talking to him.....I got busted...........the guard saw me too.........I've done that more than once.

not too hard to do, jump far enough and you land in water, fall in the right spot on the canton, and you'll take no falling damage. it's how i leave the foreign quarter to hit the strider. would be much more impressive if you used scrolls of icarian flight, no slowfall/levitate, and landed on land =D

on topic: when a vampire, i have the insatiable urge to cast jump spells on myself and constantly jump as i travel.

sometimes i use area of effect charm and frenzy and have impromptu arena battles.

I remember first playing Morrowind, I did not know that you didnt hit all the time, so I spent like 10 mins slashing at a random npc.After a bit I got very annoyed and yelled "WHY IS MY BLADE NOT CUTTING?!".Probably the stupidist thing ive ever done in a game, besides playing Modern Warfare 2, but thats another story.

1st time I completed the Tribunal Quest that lets you levitate for a long time
Unfortunately not an infinite amount of time, as I realised somewhere above Red Mountain, " stoopid"

Years and years ago i thought that my newb level ~10 theif character had the skills to take out one of the Great House Vaults in Vivec. Scoped it all out and noticed that the Telvanni one had the least Ordinator protection, and highest chance of me getting a moment alone with the door ;)

Coast is clear -> Crack open the door easy enough -> Enter the room, gloating at my awesomeness -> RAWWWWWR STORM ATRONACHS! -> Om nom nom nom level ~10 theif.

Fail.


Also: "Atronach" is a stupid word. I think "Antronach" is a nicer word on the tongue :D

One time I was playing as a stealth character and so naturally I found the Amulet of Shadows very useful. I got myself way far in to a into a daedric shrine, dodging all the Daedra that could kill me in two hits, only to have the amulets charge run out about halfway through the cave. I was too close to the enemy to sleep and I didn't have any teleportation spells. Also it was also one of those times when I hadn't saved in like forever. grrrrr.

Always handy not to offend Arrile. My first char went into the Trade House totally nvde and he went ballistic and threatened to call the guards.
But one of the dumber things I tried was using a scroll of Icarian Flight at Fort Moonmoth. My char became a grease spot on the wall.

On my first character I thought I got better results running and jumping on banisters to train athletics and acrobatics. My friend corrected me on that one. I also thought that you had to get on top of a silt strider to get a ride so I used one of those nifty scrolls. I went to jump on the Balmora Silt Strider and ended up as a pile of goo at Dagoth Ur. Learned two things from this. 1.) That's how Tarhiel died and 2.)Where the big bad boss lives.

i was deep in hircines maze, werewolves everywhere. my only healing was coming from eleidons ward. then i was reminded that shields can be broken, and broken enchanted shields are just as useless as broken non enchanted shields. i had no repair hammers either. this wasn't even my first playthrough...

Dumb: The time(s) I equipped my Night Eye amulet in a cave, and unequipped my Constant Effect levitation amulet... while hovering over a lava pool. ("Sorry, Julan!")
Weird: In a moment of exasperation (having heard "I think you're a thief..." ONE TOO MANY TIMES), I set about companionizing every non-useful Bosmer in Balmora and Vivec, walked them all to Ghostgate, and left them inside the Ghostfence.
