You've probably heard all about the character generation process in Morrowind, how intuitive it is... how you begin in the bowels of a rickety boat with no name or history, with orders to march into the debarkation building... how it's a mini adventure and tutorial where each person you meet will ask you a personal question which will in turn identify you and create your character... how in that same building you'll learn to move, open your inventory, fight and pick locks, and that finally at the end "show" your papers to the proper authority who then sends you off, a free person in a new world, with little money or equipment... So I won't go into all that. It's an intricate opening where you'll undoubtedly spend some amount of time simply moving your view around, just to appreciate the realistic candle-lit or fireplace lighting and graphic detail before realizing, or caring, that there is something you can be doing... like admiring the hand-placed dinner sets, forks, cups, bowls, chests, baskets, sacks, carpets on the wall, and so on. You're crazy if you think I did that.
