meh, don't worry about how long it takes
this is going to sound somewhat gay, but pick a playstyle/roleplay char, and just follow the story thru that way
Right now, it's been a couple levels since I touched the main story line because I'm busy doing thieves guild quests, and closing oblivion gates, and systematically stealing everything of any value from stringard or wtf that town is called

are there actually vendors to sell all the shit you steal btw?
cause i'd steal like a million-bajillion gold worth of items in morrowind, but all the vendors were like taco bell, no more than $50 in their register, and they can't break a $100
the only way to make any money was to mod the vendors, or seek out the rich mud crab, or that imp vendor in the orc house.

Unsurprisingly I'm bored already. The random dungeons have no point to them and it's like I'm running a marathon to progress the story and just have pointless maze-like un-fun dungeons along the way.

hurrrrrrrrrrrrrr good one! Instead why don't you provide a counter-point as to why the dungeons are oh-so-fun and revolutionary....probably because you can't. Why are these people all attacking me? Why do none of them try to communicate? Why are there these random cultist groups in broken down ruins randomly strewn across the land?

if you join the Thieves Guild you gain access to fences in various towns that will buy stolen property
the more stolen stuff you fence, the better missions you get from the doyen
And Taxx
I hear you with the random people who just attack for no reason, and the seemingly pointlessness of a lot of the random ruins/dungeons you run into
I still feel ok with the $60 I spent on the game tho

Trying to take my sweet time with this, make sure I savor every beautiful scene. Going to run two characters through, and do 2 of the guilds with each. That way I get 2 different style runs through the game and get all my gamerscore points

I've been playing a few hours at a spot, and Its very enjoyable.
The quests and NPC interaction is good. The sidequests and factions aren't as in depth as MW, but easier to work through without a lot of the headaches.
The scenery and exploration is good, as well.
Fun, fun.

Journal is much better this time. Man, I would take a break from Morrowind and come back a week later and not have any clue what the fuck I was doing.

I am hating how it autosaves and overwrites your last save game automatically for 90% of the shit you do.

Wierd my autosave has its own save slot. Is it overriding your manual save?
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 9:30 am
by Tossica
Yeah, autosaves don't overwrite my save points.

I think what he's saying is quicksave writes to the same quicksave file, and doesn't create a new one everytime.

Do you need the old version of Morrowind or is this independent?
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 9:52 am
by Tacks
It has nothing to do with Morrowind, you don't need it. It's a sequal to Elder Scrolls. Morrowind was Elder Scrolls 3, Oblivion is Elder Scrolls 4.
