It's been almost two months since I last posted. About two weeks ago I finished the mian question of Morrowind. The whole thing. I had to cheat and look up how to do things a couple times to do it. Not like I used the console or something. I have to say I'm not really that much a of the storyline. I mean I guess it's slightly higher than "mediocre" but not the best. I was around level 28 when

As it turns out I enjoy the game more than writing about it. Since the last entry I clearned out another set of ruins, Molg Mar, this time in one trip. I spent a lot of time wandering the coastal area east of Vivec, visiting ruins as I found them. Eventually I made it all the way to Tel-Branora. Here I first started experimenting with "rising force" potions to speak with the rather loony head

During my many trips to the cave near Hla Oad I decided to rest a while. My rest was abruptly interupted however by an assassin. I wasn't expecting this but managed to kill this guy off rather easily. My journal says I should report this to a guard as soon as possible, but I haven't got around to it yet. I took the special assasin armor off of the assasin along this his sword and sold it to the

For all practicle purposes I'm done with Vivec. At least I hope to avoid it as much as possible. As of now I have enough levels to be extremely high ranked in almost all the factions I'm currently joined to. I'll I have to do is a whole lot more quests for them all. After the quest in the ruins for scrap medal I was having a little trouble trying to decide what to do next. I remembered someone

I'm fairly certain I was in the cave with psycho imperial guy wearing the lord's mail when I found this enchanted dagger. Another rather valuable item (around 6k) that is rather useless since no NPCs actualy have that much money. The enchantment is paralyzation for about 10 seconds. In one of the under works I found what looked like a shrine albeit guarded by a heavily armored nord. I saved

As I'm writing this I've completed Vivec already. Not all the quests but at least talked to all the people I had to. To try to keep some semblance of what the hell is going on I'm going to try and summarize what I've done. Also while in Ebonheart I did a couple more things. For starters I was about to leave Ebonheart when I decided to swim around the side for no apparent reason. Seriously. I had

Finally having visited every place and talked to everyone actually in the town of Ald'ruhn I made for this large structure known as "skar". A lot of places are referred to has "under skar" so I can see why. I wasn't paying attention to the details but it's a large shell-like structure with many, many doorways inside. Many of these places have really similar names and look extremely a like. I

I seemed to have encountered a few bugs since my last post. Seems I'm doing less and less writing in favor of the actual playing. Imagine that! I did finish the quest for skull from last time. Since Caius Cosades's only next mission for me is to visit the giant, frustrating city of Vivec I decide to do some other stuff. There's a fort in Gnisis taking on new recruits for Legion for instance so I

I warp back to Balmora and sell a little crap. Namely a magic scroll I didn't think I needed to the Mages guild woman. Eventually I got her to buy a 100 dollar scroll for 87. I had to bribe her my last 10 gold to increase the price and...anyway. I also sold some amulates and rings at the traders. Finally I flew back to Suran to do some bribing and/or strong arming to get the money owed to the

Upon arrival in Suran I visit the "House of Earthly Delights". Ya, must be a church! Nope, nudy bar. I find Helviane Desele and ask her to pay up already but she refuses. Something about the Commona Tong and protection money. I'm not the Commona Tong, and I didn't think fighter's guild was either, so what's she talking about? So I do more exploring of Suran. I meet a slave trader/hunter while in

Thought I'd Take a moment to mention I started scripting some shortcuts for writing this blog using a program called AutoHotKey. First I used it to make typing things like Caius Cosades as easy as typing cc then I realized I could something REALLY useful like auto-save my game every five minutes. The script with commentary is enclosed below. To use it just install AutoHotKey, paste this code into

Didn't take nearly as long as expected to arrive in Caldera. I wonder if the citizens here are Linux users? Man, that was lame. But I digress. Once in Caldera I start to explore a little. I manage to find a pair of mages: sells the spell of mark, the other the spell of recall. Of course I'm only an imperial knight fighter not a spell-caster but I buy them any way. As I mentioned I tried to play

Finally I arrive in Balmora. I learn the people I likely want to talk to in the theives guild are located in the "south wall corner club". I also soon learn that Larrius Varro at Fort Moonmoth wishes to speak with me. Well duh, already talk to him. Guess the game assumes I took the transport instead of walking. I also learn the person in particular I am looking for at the South Wall Corner Club

Eventually I did find the murder. Being the imperial knight wannabe I am I told him I would report his murder so he attacked me. I fought back and killed him. Hope he wasn't important! At least I have a new place to store crap now. I had been collecting different plant samplings as I adventured around town and stored a bunch in the container is that house. The murder solved I decided I should

All I did for the beginning of the day is take various items from various barrels and crates for selling at the local vendor. The way the armor and weapons looked in the transaction window confused me however so I didn't buy any of it. I finally got the mission about freeing slaves and bringing down the smugglers. I found the cave but was unable to beat the psycho mage who kept throwing

I have other projects I could be doing. I haven't even played Morrowind in over a year. But for some reason I an irrational drive to dig back out and start it up again. From the last time I played I know I'll have to take notes and write what I do where I go and who I talk to just to keep track of it all anyway. So why not turn that into a blog? It'd be nice if there was an in-game book you
