Hey...
I used to play Morrowind on my PC, I never had an original XBOX. Now, three "360"'s later, I finally got the new slim XBOX that will play Morrowind right out of the box... YAY! Does anyone know how to block, and move things around without picking them up with the 360 controller? I've tried all button/bumper/trigger combinations I can think of, and I got nothing...

Blocking is not something you control manually. Blocking with a shield happens automatically depending on your Block skill. (Along with other factors such as your Agility, Luck, and Fatigue amount.)
It's not like Oblivion, where you have immediate control over the Block function. (There is no Block button)

In Morrowind, you cannot "move things around without picking them up." That's only in Oblivion.
Although you can "move" and pick-up items while in the Menu, unlike Oblivion.

As the above poster stated these thigns are mainly oblivion features.... it would appear you have the games confused or something
