Quote from: Narf the Mouse;247728Bad! No cheating! Ruins game experience!

I had just made my stat restore spells before i got the disease, so i thought i'd try them out. They worked and my stats returned to normal. Had no idea i was going to be a leper at that point!

It's fun bartering with someone who says "Uh! You have corprus. Get away from me!" and then barter with you anyway.

The game cheated by making my stats go down again!

Ah, ok.

Yeah, the beauty of the Morrowind conversations is in the detail and richness.

The interface is...Functional.

Well, it is railroading you a bit, yeah, but I've seen much worse in other games. I can ignore the stat drop bit.

Yeah, me too. I'll get back to it in a day or two - too much on at the moment to carry on.

Incidentally, one thing that i'm wondering - what about saved games? At the moment i have a save game and quick save game. What happens if i want to start another character, do those saves get overwritten with the new character saves?

The quick save gets overwritten; the save game doesn't, as long as it's a manual save.

I keep my saves in folders by character name to keep them sorted.

I usually quick save during the game and manually save every few hours or when I shut down the game.

I do that since I have a 10 year old that likes to play the same games as me

Although I have to do some cleanup as I now have my saves and my hubby's old stuff on my computer - he gave me his games HD.

Diary 17: Got the boots easily enough from a robotic dwarf - strange and got cured. Hurrah! Went back to tell the blades the good news, then discovered that i'm now in charge - oh dear. On the plus side, i got some nice money and items to tide me over. Now i have to find the priest i spoke to in Vivec a while ago and get the prophecies to that annoying tribe that takes ages to get to...past the ruin with the scary folk in it...

I'm now sitting on those glass boots & 6000+ gold pieces. Nothing to spend it on!

I'm not sure whether i'm going to pursue the priest first, or do a few more missions for the Fighters' Guild or House Redoran. We'll see.

Diary 18: Decided to help out my buddies in House Redoran first. Kill some bandits, they said. Out i go to the difficult to find guar farm again. Whilst i'm rambling, i come across a cave and go in. Kill some rats and a couple of blokes that went down in 1 hit each. Got some minor treasure. Found the farm and spoke to the woman. Those blokes were the bandits! Job done. Next up i had to guard a nobleman who had assassins after him. The minute i stopped speaking to him, up they popped - 2 of them. This was an interesting fight, as the man i was guarding was attacked directly by 1 of them and me by the other. They were pretty tough. In the end, the bloke i was 'guarding' killed the second assassin - lucky for me. Anyway, another job done. I'm on a roll. Let's do another one. This time, the guy who i was guarding wants me to spirit his son away from his captors, hmm, tricky. And so it turned out. Finding him was difficult enough - a door hidden behind a tapestry! Then when leading him out i got attacked by folk. I got out, he didn't and i was warned that unless i loaded a save game, the main quest was fucked up. So i left it there. I'll have another go at getting him out tomorrow. Still 11th level - been a long time here, longest yet, i reckon.

Diary 19: Got out with the boy at second time of asking. A bit of a glitch when i got him home, as his old man didn't recognise i had brought him back. I got there in the end though. I like my buddies at House Redoran. I went exploring under skar, talked to some folks and hello! what's this? Do you want to build your own stronghold? Why yes, yes, i do. Get a contract you say and hand over 5000gps? Consider it done! So i went on a ramble to Ebonheart (first time i've been there). Got the contract and went back to get my stronghold. What, i have to wait a week for it to start? Boo! Another glitch here - the 5000 gold wasn't taken from my inventory!

So, i'm going up north to finally sort out those necromancers i got asked to take care of ages ago. Hopefully when i get back my new home will be coming along nicely!

House Redoran are awesome.

They are the honorable house.

Diary 20: Best 3 hours of PC gaming i can remember in, well, ever. So, i go up north (what a trek!) and finally find the island with the necromancers in it. I decide not to talk to the woman before i go in - whenever i've had to lead someone else around, it's ended in tears. I go in and clear things up - sack loads of dwarven & silver weapons. Then i speak to her. Job done! Go back and get my reward. Get another mission from the Fighters' Guild. Shit, i have to go back where i've just come from! Trek, trek, trek...

Different island, i loot a tomb on the way - full of nasty critters. Awesomeness 1 - i soul trap the big bad in the tomb (first time it's worked!). It was a storm athonal? Anyway, it was so hard only my greater soul gem could hold it. It took over a hundred of my health before i killed it. Eek.

I get to the outlaws cave. More hard opponents here. I get killed once by a mage on a bridge who kept summoning greater bonelords. So next time up, i use my dispel scroll on his pets and kill him. Beyond him is the man i'm after. Ooh, he looks posh! Another hard fight (although not as hard as either summoner man or the storm guy). I kill him and loot his cubby-hole. I put everything in a pile and get ready to recall home. Then, i figure, that really is a nice looking shirt. Boy am i glad i doubled checked his body - i totally missed this first time round. Awesomeness 2 - he was wearing an ebony cuirass! Put that on and suddenly my armour rating is up to 93. Recall home, sell stuff, get my reward from the fighters.

Then i get a message telling me to check up on my stronghold - hurrah! I check it and it's one of those wierd crabby shell buildings. I can't get in yet and there's still scaffolding up, but i can see it! Awesomeness 3.

So, i've got 7000 gold burning a hole in my pocket. I visit the mages' guild and decide to buy something extravagant. I had an awesome purple shirt for ages and decide to enchant it with the greater soul gem. 6500 gold later, i have Terrada's Floating Shirt - enchanted with 5 points of levitate for 10 seconds. Not fast and not for long - but i guess because of the strength of the soul gem i used, it has 25 charges! Awesomeness 4.

So now, my crusader looks incredibly rich. His shimmering magical purple shirt pokes out in strategic places between his richly decorated ebony breastplate.

Can't see topping this in the near future.

Morrowind = Teh coolness.

Diary 21: So today i get another outlaw clear-out mission from the Fighters' Guild. This time near Suran. I take some time finding the place, but get there eventually. I clear them out - my only trouble coming from a guy who paralyses me. I shake it off before he gets me below half health and kill him in 2 blows. Thank goodness for that, as i find out that his staff causes paralysis - i keep the staff! Oh, yes. I get my reward and go back home to sell stuff. My house now has a nice collection of magic weapons glittering away in the spare spaces

Still no word about my stronghold, so i decide to finish off a mission i got ages ago from the Legion - find and rescue a missionary. This involves a trek into places i haven't been before. A long trek. I stop at a tomb along the way and duff up some undead. The final room holds a spell casting nutter with an awesome looking helm. He casts loads of spells, but none of them seem to affect me. I take him down. His helm is awesome - turn undead & summon undead. Only trouble is i get a message telling me i fucked up the main quest by killing him. So i reload, leave the last room alone and recal home again with the loot i did get. No helm! Boo!

After selling my loot i get a message that i should check out my stronghold. So i go speak to the woman and she tells me to hire some guards. To get them i have to carry out a jailbreak - oh dear. I can see that going wrong. I haven't had a look to see if i can get in my building yet. I'll do that next time, before i attempt to break the woman out of jail. 13th level now, about 150 health, long blade skill of 96, Strength 112 (with the gauntlets). 4700 gold. I'll see if i can get another item enchanted soon.

Regarding the guy in the tomb with the helmet - that's Crazy Batou and his Bloodworm Helm. I think I already posted about it several pages before: you can kill him and take his stuff no problem. The message about fucking up the storyline is a bug.

Eek! It's in the middle of nowhere!

I might just make that trek again, just to get that helm. The wierd thing is, it's not really the effect it has - it just looks awesome! I have indeed fallen prey to that perculiarity where i collect and lay out pretty stuff just to look at - or equip it and wait until the panoramic view of your character comes up.
