i started a new game and every time i sleep i get interrupted and attacked and die... im only level 1 and the attacks have already started, am i just supposed to run? cause i sure cant fight him, and i like having tribunal installed cause some of my mods use it. can anyone give me some advice?

If you aren't fussed about race, try creating a Red Gaurd character, they are 75% resistant to poison. I think it is the poisoned short sword that causes a lot of the damage.

Or get yourself a bunch of potions (resist poison, fortify strength, fortify endurance etc.) and as soon as you are attacked pause the game by bringing up your stats and inventory, and pour the potions down the hatch.

You could also try sliding the game difficulty way down in "options"

and what do you have comp or xbox cause if you have it for computer try using the counsill or what ever its called and for xbox try the restore health cheat found on any morrowind cheat page.

but i wouldnt use it unless i was desprate and have you tried not sleeping?

im a nord and ive played as all the other races. and how do you just not sleep? im tryin to go through the game as a diplomat person so im not really very combat active. cant i just like uncheck the tribunal "plugin" or will i lose all the stuff like companion share and my face texture requires tribunal oh and im using comp

the only times i sleep is when i want to get attacked by the dark brotherhood or lvling up

you could always just find some kind of scroll of summoning some powerfull creature to fight for you

The assassins don't spawn every time you sleep. Its a somewhat random event. I've found a couple of places where they don't ever seem to spawn however such as in the Ghorak manor in Caldera (by Creeper). However, guild bunkrooms and hostels/inns are not safe from them. Hand to hand fighting actually works pretty good against them but you need to be able to hit with a high level of success. Fortunately this is one of the easiest skills to build quickly. You can become quite proficient in it before you even leave Seyda Neen. Also if you are playing an Imperial you can use your inate Drain Fatigue spell to zap them before starting HTH combat which will cause them to get knocked out more quickly. If you can get the first shot in and keep nailing them with your fists they never have a chance to use their jink blade weapons on you (i.,e. paralyze and poison cast on strike). Eventually they will be drained of fatigue and become unconscious. Now they will start taking damage from your hits. Later on in the game levitating and water walking are good ways to evade their attacks. You can sleep on top of tiny rock spires or high up on daedric ruins. If assassins spawn you can pick them off with arrows. For the time being its best to just reload if they spawn.

well now im at level 25 so they are no problem now...I just hit them once and they fall down crying like little girls

word I've just started as an imperial monk and I've taken three down so far with consumate ease. and their armour sells for a decent amount for the early stages of the game, so I'm just loving them.

im only level 1 and the attacks have already started

Why did you get attacked so early, and why were they so persistant? I got attacked at like lvl 11 or something, after I slaughtered him and took his stuff they left me alone.
whats the trigger for causing the attacks to start?

I believe the attacks are completely randomized. I've been attacked as early as level 1 trying to sleep in the outskirts of Seyda Neen. Other times I've been attacked at about level 4 or 5. They will continue to attack you throughout the game until you trigger the event that stops them (i.e. by visiting Ebonheart and speaking to the visiting Imperial Guard inspector). I really like those early attacks. It puts an edge onto the gameplay.

The dark brotherhood

well.......the ting is............i borrowed my mates x-box and morrowind. i managed to get quite far as i borrowed it for about 2 months but i must have got to about lvl 26 and i have never run into the dark brotherhood. nor has anyone mentioned them?

another thing is my mate "Digitalchimp" has the goty edition and he has a ruddy great big island where some nords life! why dont i have that? do i just have an old version?

P.S. Morrowind is soooooo good i am buying my own x-box and 1 game! guess what game? lol!

The GOTY editions for PC and X-box include the expansions "Bloodmoon" and "Tribunal". You need to have these installed to get the extras.

thats all fine and dandy but how do i install things onto my x-box! wait whats that? i cant? oh well! does this mean i have to goo out and buy the goty edition? just to get the extra's?

They're a gold mine, all right - so I always delay going to Mournhold.

Unless you can buy the expansions individually for the XBox version (no idea here, I just use a PC), I would imagine so. I suggest checking the official Elder Scrolls site, they may have some information on the subject.

i may just have to do that! thanks

isnt it wierd that the most simple answer is usually the right one.

and did you know that einstien came up with that theory?

i dont think you can buy the individual expansions for x-box, but if you have a chipped x-box (hehehee) you could probably find patches and the like and put them on but I dunno...
