Yeah. But I prefer the whole "I become godly so quick" to OB's "no matter how high a level I become, everything still is equal to me". So it's not so bad a flaw. Another flaw I think was the animations. The ones for human and elven races are so stiff and robots, and the beast races move in a manner most describe as looking like they have a broom handle shoved up their arse. :lol:

Oh, and the lack of physics makes movement frustrating at times. I can't remember how many times I've wanted to murder the guards in Ald'Ruhn's Skar for blocking the walkways. You can't move them at all.

Probably not. I don't think I joined many when I played. I avoided all of the houses, (unless the main quest demanded otherwise), on the most part, and really only devoted myself to the Mages and Fighters Guilds, both of which I was master of by the end.

Some people complained about how you could become like a GOD character in Morrowind...but I thought that was the greatest reward for bothering to level up to 51+. All of the enemies that you used to have to run in fear from suddenly seem trivial, and that feeling of overwhelming power felt GOOD.

I don't like the scaling system in Oblivion at all...but I didn't mod it out the last time I was able to play it, because I know doing so would break the balance of the game the way it was designed to work. ...but I still hate that, no matter how awesome I get, I'll always get beaten down by lowly town guards and whatever I accidentally run into in the woods like I am still a struggling Noob.


My favorite memories from playing Morrowind would have to be anything that involved the more 'amusing' Gods, like Sheogorath, or this other guy, Boethiah whose temple was submerged, and he commissions you to build a new shrine in his honor, and you get this eccentric Orc artist to help you.

I still love the Fork of Horripilation.

It's in a room in one the sewers of Vivec. Under either St. Olms or St. Delyn, I think.

I'm still messing around with mods, whee. And I still haven't played through the main quest. :lol:

I had a cool idea for one of my own. Finally worked all of the bugs out of the script. Problem is I have no models or textures for my new shinies and no way to make them myself.

Eh...maybe I'll forget testing/making the new mods and just dive in with my Argonian alchemist. Er, after I play the main quest. With my one and only Orc/good/no-stabbity-NPCs/no-stealing/no-selling-moon-sugar character. Then I'll dive in with my twisted alchemist. Yeah, sounds good.

Morrowind had a lot of bugs, but that was to be expected when creating a game on such a large scale.

No. If it's the right statue walk up to it and activate it the same way you use a door or talk to someone.

The only time you'd have to worry about summoning days is if you were playing Morrowind's predecessor - Daggerfall. It had summoning days for the Daedric Princes, but Morrowind and Oblivion did away with that idea. A bit clunky, waiting days to summon a Daedra or a year because you missed the summoning date, etc.

It's the one in the sewers beneath the City of Vivec.

Walk right up to the statue itself and talk to it/activate it. ...I had no idea when I did it the first time. I just ran up to it, hacking away, and hitting the activate button to amuse myself, thinking I was beating up on a mean scary statue of a bad guy, (since his followers tried to kill me), but was pleasantly surprised when something actually happened.
