Paying to train actually levels you too fast in Morrowind. Especially if you use hacks to increase how much stuff you can sell at one time.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Yeah, it happened a bit too quick this time. I think i paid for 3 training sessions in my main skills. From now on i'll only get trained in my miscellaneous skills for the stats that i need to raise (Willpower, at the moment).

Have you joined a Great House yet? Good benefits and quests there.

No, i'm going for House Redoran at some point though. I went to where they hang out but some wierd sandstorm meant i couldn't see anything, so i gave up looking and went back south. I'll head back once i've spent a while finishing off a mission or 2 for the Fighters Guild, I'll give the blades a miss for a while, as they are pretty hard. Might start off my mages guild career too while i'm in Balmora. I can't see myself rising too far in them though, as my skills don't really match up with the requirements. i should be able to get an advancement or two from them though, before i have to call it quits.

Teleporting or taking a silt strider there can help with locating it; then you just use the map to get there or back.

Also, my version came with a map of the island, which helps.

I did take the silt-strider! I couldn't see jack though and i wandered about for ages. In the end i got fed up and left again. Yeah, no map here, so things are a little baffling until i speak to the right people at the right time to update my in-game map.

Dunno how i got my current sword either. It seems to cut through most enemies like a knife through butter - i have a feeling that it is designed for someone of a higher level than me, but i'm not complaining! 1-25 extra damage.

IIRC, you start on a four-story ramp. Go down the ramp and just keep going forward and you'll find some buildings, cleverly disguised as dead giant crab shells.

Probably because they're made from dead giant crabs. :) Redoran like to live in them.

Next time i'm there, i'll do that. Thanks!

So far, i've resisted the temptation to go to Vivec. I have a feeling that it's going to be huge and baffling. When i run out of places to sell and buy stuff, i'll take the plunge.

It's about three towns worth on its own and certainly wins on the massive scale.

Diary 7: Got quite a lot accomplished. Cleared up some debts for the fighters' guild, then killed an outlaw for them - got my own house to dump things in now - woot! Used my scroll of mark inside the house. That's all the fighters' guild have for me here, i have to travel elsewhere to get more missions.

Found out that someone in the imperial legion wanted to talk to me. He wanted me to find an outlaw bothering travellers and sort him out. Did a trek from Balmora to Hlal Ode and found him. He hits pretty hard, but i dispatched him when i still had half my health left, so not too bad. Got my reward and found out the same guy wants me to sort out a criminal gang who are bribing an official. Hmm. Before that happened i got attacked twice by shadow assassins. Collected their armour and travelled to Suran to get some better armour. Bought a helm for 2500 gold. My armour rating has gone up to 29. 60% to 5th level. I've got my eye on a piece of ebony armour (armour rating 88! :eek:) in Suran, but i need another 3000 gold first! Boy, do those assassins come in useful.

My Morrowind characters invariably ended up as silver-fixated kleptomaniacs. Every time they saw a silverware plate, bowl, candleholder or jug, they just had to have it. Then once they got some place to stay, they'd arrange their silverware candleholders all around the room to provide glorious illumination for the piles of silverware on display. All of them. For some reason.

...I think that would have more to do with you than your characters. :P :D

The scrolls of leaping death are great if you can land in water. I had a save with a insta-level mod that was damn near maxed and she could leap from the top of a mountain and land on her feet and live.

She also killed vivec.

And all my houses had a bowls with skulls. AKA skull-i-o's. :D And as many candles and books I could find.

Diary 8: So today i joined House Redoran and had to help someone with a crab problem! (ouch) Cue lots of rambling around in the dark trying to find the place, followed by more rambling around after i finished the deed. My rambling did find me a tomb to enter and i had to fight 4 vampires! If i hadn't have cast my scroll of vitality i would have been toast. Managed it and got some nice treasure. When i got back to house redoran to tell them i had completed the mission, there was a glitch. They acted as though i had already been assigned the next mission - which i hadn't. Hopefully, i'll do it and things won't be any the worse. 5th level now. I think this will be my last mission before i head back to the blades for that next installment.

Diary 9: A couple of hours play today. Delivered a potion to someone up north past Gnisis (nice walk that one - enjoyed the countryside!). Met someone who called themselves a 'dreamer' and told me about some nasty bloke coming back - he must have heard of me looking for info. Gulp! As i was in the vacinity i thought i'd see what the Imperial Legion wanted me to do for them. Go back to the mine and cure the kwama queen! Had to buy a scroll out of my own cash - boo! A coulple of hard fights in the mine with kwama warriors who had magical attacks! Drained me of about 1/2 my health, but i managed to do the deed. Got a promotion from the Legion and from House Redoran. So my faction list now reads - Fighters' Guild (4 Swordsman), Legion (2 Trooper), House Redoran (2 Oathman). Somehow reached 6th level after such a short period. I didn't buy any training this time round - i guess i must have had quite a few skills near to improving when i gained my last level. Had a rest at my house beforing receiving my next mission for the Blades - Go to Vivec and talk to 3 informants! Next time i'm going to the big, bad city.
