Thread: Teach me how to Morrowind

So I just figured out that my netbook can run Morrowind, but I need some help with it, see the only Elder Scrolls game I've really played much of has been Skyrim, and Morrowind seems so different I need like a guide on it for noobs used to newer games, or mods or something. The only thing is, I don't really want any improved graphics mods, as I don't think my netbook would be able to handle them.

The interface for one, like press right click for menus and all the menus open at once, why do I only hit people some of the time, no jump? That's just a couple off the top of my head.

It uses growth rate attributes. This means that the more you jump, the higher you jump. Every attribute has a leveling system and they can grow as you use them. This includes attacking via small arms, bows, and all other forms of weapons.

I remember my morrowind days... I would leave my game up and have an auto run system setup, before you know it my running skill was pretty damn high. Same goes for jumping, swimming...etc..

Played a bit more, found the jump button(really e for jump and space for e, what are these default controls?) getting into the grove of saving every time before I open a door cause no autosave. There's one thing that is really bugging me right now though, what is this combat system of wave swords at each other and once in a blue moon they'll connect, I know the Elder Scrolls games aren't known for their combat but still this is really bad.

Keep waving your sword and eventually you'll connect all the time. It's just a matter of leveling up your weapon skills.

Accurate Attack at Morrowind Nexus - Morrowind mods and community

Morrowind:Official Plug-ins - UESPWiki

All the official plug ins are good, and the expantions are great.

Tamriel Rebuilt

This is a massive expantion that adds the mainland or the real Region that is known as Morrowind. Comes with new lands, beasts, quests, guilds, pretty much a double down on the game content. So what would take up 300 hours of your life will not require 600.

So I've played a bit more, I'm sort of liking the having to find things myself.

Couple questions though:
What is up with these Fighters Guild Quests, I've gotten two go and get something from someone quests that haven't involved punching things at all.

Go I get a horse ever?

Where is this Ebonwhatever place the guy I need to report the Dark Brotherhood trying to kill me?
