How long did it take you?

It took me 3 days to look for the Dwemer Puzzle Box alone and it was biznatch finding all those House people for the Hortator quest. I took all together about 3 months to complete the quest the first time.

I think it took me about 4 weeks of HARD gaming to complete the entire game.... And with that said I have to say that I played Morrowind many times before, but then I never really played the Mainquest, so to say I'm pretty Experianced

I've owned the game since it first came out. I still have yet to finish the main quest. I got so into the side quests that I actually got sick of the game before I decided to try the main quest. I just started a new game a few days ago to complete the main quest, and all kinds of **** is going wrong. But it's the side quests, the world and the living enviroment that the game creates that makes this imo the best game Ive ever played.

The difficulty of the game seems pretty low, they basicly set everything before you and it doesn't require all that much thinking, but it's still a great story.

yeah i became the head of 4-6 groups/guilds whatever. then i got pissed off bcuz i can't bcome head of telvanni bcuz i killed one of the guys in a fighter's quest or something. then i enchanted myself with permanent water breathing, so i can't finish the pilgrimages in the tribunal temple quest.
other than that, i have a full set of every type of armor, including a daedric, all of which has the best possible connection of enchantment. a ring that gives me bound daedric armor and a sword, and a couple other rings and such that give me constant levitation or such. if i could only become head of telvanni and tribunal temple, i think i would have completed every sidequest! then i could do the main quest

i would think it amost immpossible to complete all the side quests. I mean,unless you had a list of them how do you know fopr sure that there arent anymore random ppl out there in the wilderness witing for and escort or wanting you to recover a family hierloom or is pissed because they are frozen and naked because some chick took his axe?

...you're sure you're talking about Morrowind? I've played Morrowind for quite a long time now and I found almost everything except a living enviroment...
Don't get me wrong, I love Morrowind. But I wouldn't call it a living enviroment when everyone just stands around telling you the same **** again and again, without complaining when you take out your weapon or wander around in ones home and without being able to sit or lie...

Maybe it's Gothic 1 or 2 you're talking about? These games DO have a living enviroment.

fable is the living environment. it's gonna blow morrowind away. trees grow and die. you get older. you get scars and bruises and your personality is actually shaped by your actions (not just words). you might get fat if you sleep a lot, or slow if you don't run a lot. who know? it's gonna be a great game.

How did you manage to do that? Game bug? I take it you're not talking about a CE water breathing enchanted item.

Fable? Never heard of. Please tell me more!

Actually, I got to Morrowind through a dear friend, whom I lured into the grasp of Gothic II (Gothic I is hard to find here, though I have it, luckily). She is a grand comp-adventuregamer, and liked Gothic II a lot. She also mentioned that Morrowind similar. And indeed it is.
I still love the world and feel of Gothic more than the slightly (and only slightly) more "Forgotten Realm"-ish Morrowind, but Morrowind gets big points for the system with magic and enchanting. I love creating my own spells and magic objects (I always was a sucker for building stuff).

One thing I loved was getting my own tower when I became a Telvanni-bigshot; one thing that marred me was that I couldn't bring my own furniture. I haven't even seen cheats or tricks to make desks or drawers appear. Alas; no game is perfect, eh?

In short, Morrowind is a very close second to Gothic. Are there more games in similar styles?

If you're not on xBox there is a plug-in mod you can download that puts houses for sale into the game. You have to buy the house (tower, mansion, etc.) from a real estate agent in Ebonheart. Along with the houses are new buildings (furnishing stores) that sell everything you need to equip and decorate your house with. Things like dressers and desks are magically created by various rings you can buy from them. I haven't tried it with existing buildings but the items do work outside the houses for sale so I'd expect they'd work. I bought the house outside Balmora and fixed it up as an alchemy workshop and a place to store items that I didn't want to sell. I bought some of the other houses for sale just to see the interior layouts but didn't bother with decorating them as I find decorating strongholds, etc. pointless and tedious. But if its your thing then you might want to try this mod. Sorry but I don't remember which site I found it on.

Nope, I'm a PC stud myself.

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll try to find it. At the moment, I'm relying on the editor to reshape my tower. It's fun, but tedious. And I'd prefer "shopping around".

Hints or facs on where I can find that plug-in, anyone?

Dorian_ertymexx · Post by **Dorian_ertymexx** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 8:10 am

Now I too have finished the game. Or rather, finished the main quest. Way cool with a game where you can continue after the end of the main plot. Not that there is much left for me to do, but still.

It "only" took a full month, I bought the game on the 23rd, and have basically been at it since then. Except for new years eve, We had a little party then.

Hmm, should I start with a new character, wise from the experience, or go on wiping the world of all evil?

What level are you and what guilds/factions/cults have you completed? Are you PC or Xbox? If PC you could try one of the expansions (Tribunal or Bloodmoon) or of the better mods like The Illuminated Order. Personally I find the game boring towards the end, probably because I like to do as many quests as possible before killing Dagoth Ur and the games been dragging on for to long. Developing a new char has always been the most fun for me. I too just finished the main quest (lvl 72, Guildmaster of Thieves/Fighters/Mages, Prelate of Imperial Cult, etc.) This time I saved the Morag Tong quests to do now (though I know some of my writ victims have already been dealt with through other guild quests). I've also saved the Illuminated Order to do now as well. If I'm not totally bored with it I may do Tribunal again. So those are some ideas for post main quest play.

If you start a new game you might want to add some interest to it by picking a radiacally different race and the opposite sex of what you are playing now. Let the game pick what you will be by answering the questions instead of picking your own profession. I did this with my second game and had a blast. My first game I played a dark elf male spellsword. My second game I chose to be a female orc and by answering the questions I became a monk with sign of the Lady. I played a good part of that game unarmored and weaponless relying on speechcraft and hand-to-hand fighting before finally moving onto light armor and other weapons. I joined a different great house from that of my firist game and discovered a whole new set of quests that I didn't know existed. Now I've played about 8 times and still have new character combinations to try.

I'm a PC guy. As for factions, well, I think I have mastered all but the thieves guild, and the vampire clans (I never got the fangs). I failed to get to tops on Blades and Ashlanders though, perchance I missed something there (as per who promotes you once Cossades has left).
I have completed the two add-ons, since I got the year-version of Morrowind. I didn't like Bloodmoon much though.

If I remember correctly, my char got to level 73. He has his own Telvanni tower, the house I joined and now rule.

Illuminated Order?!? What are those? As I mentioned, I might have missed some groups. All that running around the island, you know, it gets you weary...

I made a Bosmer, sign of the Lady, male. I thought I'd like him an archer, but took the test as you did. Lo and behold, he became an archer anyways!

My new char is intended to greatness in house Telvanni first and foremost. Aside from that, I am rather open for ideas. I thought I'd try an altmer or dunmer.

Illuminated Order is a massive plug-in mod. It is very well constructed, has a whole bunch of interesting quests that tie up a lot of loose ends in the game (the daedra god quests for example) and an interesting story line. If you complete it you get the opportunity to become a lich. You can only go up to Operative in the Blades, there is no advancement after Cossades leaves. Same with the Ashlanders, I think Brother is the highest you can go. Try the official plug-in mods from the Elder Scrolls site. The master propylon index mod is perhaps the best. I also like the swamp sounds mod and the area affect arrow mod (adds a store in the Foreign Quarters that sells enchanted arrows). All of their mods work well and hough many don't add much they make the game a bit richer. After you kill Dagoth Ur you can get some more quests. The Morag Tong will give you some more writs to take care of (most of whom you may have already killed) and Trebonius might give you one last quest for the Mage guild (but I don't think you can be in House Telvanni). If you gave Trebonius the letter from Occato then you might get that quest which is interesting but largely pointless. If you've done the Tribunal expansion already you may as well start a new game with a new character as there's nothing really left to do. Keep in mind that even an Orc Pilgram can become a master of the bow. In this game, except for racial perks, everyone is equal and an Orc isn't any stronger than a Bosmer.
