Starting a new Iron-man

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:58 pm

I think my computer's getting too old to run Oblivion anymore, so I'm coming back to Morrowind after not playing for quite some time.

I've basically beat the game through and through. So I'd like to try something completely new and interesting to rekindle a sort of immersion into the Morrowind world.

First of all, I'll be playing "Iron-man" style, meaning I never reload a save game unless I'm killed and am forced to do so. This forces me to live with whatever consequences my actions warrant for me. (no more loading my most recent save game if i accidentally get arrested)

That being said, I'd really like some suggestions as to what kind of character would make this more interesting. The only idea I have so far, is I might like to play a peaceful character like a trader or bard; no killing, stealing, magic, etc. Just play as a regular person who trades goods and earns money.

What race, class, skills should I choose? What kinds of specialty mods do you suggest? Have you ever done anything like this before?

Sorry, but I had to chuckle about you saying your rig is getting old for OB. I got news for you.
MW with high rez replacements and MGE will tax your system more than OB because of the
older engine MW uses. Using MW and MGE is almost like having two game fired up at once.
I played Crysis on my rig and I swear it's easier than MW and MGE maxed out buy far.
And I'm running 3600MHz on a quad with 4 gigs of RAM @1600MHz with Raptors in
Raid 0, and a 4870x2 GPU @ 800MHz x2. Of coarse I am playing at 2560x1600 though.

Don't underestimate MW with eye candy, and MGE. It will bring the baddest to it's knees!

No doubt about that I guess, lol. But I mostly run content mods and simple effect mods, so it doesn't make it very intensive.

And that link is pretty interesting, thanks :D
