If you are any good with Conjuration consider using a Bound weapon spell. You can also use "options" and then "topics" to see everything anyone has ever told you about a certain conversation topic. Just click on "options" (lower left) and then on "quests" (on the right page) and pick the relevant quest. If you have either of the expansions you can filter journal entries by quest. Holding ctrl pressed will automatically select only 1 item. And when you're selling or looting or managing your inventory you can automatically select all items in a batch by holding shift pressed while you click on it. If you're on the PC you can assign your hotkeys by pressing F1 on your keyboard. Blades are also divided into Short Blades (daggers & shortsword) and Long Blades (longswords & claymores).
Remember that Axes are not Blunt Weapons, they have their own skill. Make sure you're using a weapon in which you are skilled. Make sure you Fatigue bar is full before you get into a fight, it will make a big difference. Fatigue influences everything from combat to spellcasting to persuasion. The arrow on the minimap in the lower right corner shows which direction you are facing. Talk to all NPCs about Latest Rumors, Little Advice, Little Secret, and Morrowind Lore and pay attention to what they say. Once in Balmora you can join a faction or two and do the easy introductory quests. It costs money but at least you won't get lost or killed on the way.
When you leave Seyda Neen travel to Balmora with the Silt Strider (giant bug bus). Then when you think you're ready try clearing out the local smuggler cave as a test of your skill. Maybe you could take Atronach instead for the Battlemage and Spellsword, but I find that for a beginner Lady would be more beneficial and in the long term you will be super strong either way.įor actual gameplay I recommend staying in the starter town (Seyda Neen) for a while and doing a local quest or two. I think the easiest combinations of race and class for a beginner are:įor all of these I would recommend the Lady birthsign. The main trick is in not giving up and surviving those earliest few levels. Morrowind can be rather tough at first and only really opens up once you've got a few levels under your belt. Unmodded Morrowind takes up something around 1 GB.
