After nearly two years without playing Morrowind, yesterday I completed all the tweaks/changes I wanted to mod in (for now) and started a new character. But something was amiss: I felt like starting a Female Nord (I never pick Nord), who would use a mace and shield combo (I never cared for either of those before) and wear medium armor (I don't use Medium armor, as I find it suboptimal). Those choices are what felt right for that character at that moment, which is strange for a half powergamer like me who usually min/max and choose by the numbers.

I continued until it was time to name my character's custom class. But then I thought "She doesn't belong to any class in particular, she's just... a daughter of the north." Those words rang so true and fitting that instead of giving her a class, I gave her a title or more like a nickname, one of a stranger in a foreign land. As for the class description, what I usually do is that I briefly describe the class main strengths within one or two lines. I settled on doing just that for this character, but as I finished typing the description I realized two things: 1- Half an hour had flown by. 2- It wasn't a class description anymore, it was now a background story. For those curious enough to read it, look in the spoiler below.

So, as a result I ended up adding Restoration plus Hand-to-hand to her skills... which my powergamer side says is completely non-optimal for a Nord with no race bonus in those skills and a meager mana pool. As I finally began the adventures of my newest character, I chuckled when an npc called her by her nickname, but most of all, I simply smiled when I read the name of the single restoration spell she was given: "Mother's Kiss".

Anyway, that was my experience of a chargen strangely different from the previous ones that I wanted to share with you guys. I hope I didn't bore you to death.

Honestly, for the first time ever, I don't know. For now, she's going toward Dulsya Isle. What happens there might influence heavily on the course of events. Getting work at the colony of Raven Rock is a more long-term goal but I think she's not experienced enough to even survive there yet. So until she's ready, mercenary work will do. I guess the Fighter's Guild would fit the bill... if she doesn't punch Eydis Fire-Eye in the face.
