#00 - Introduction and Character Creation

Overview:
This is an Interactive Let's Play of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, which means where we go and what choices we make depends on you!

Thanks to the amazing and dedicated mods that have come out for Morrowind over the last 10+ years, I've updated the game for new computers, with better graphics, new lands to explore, more challenging gameplay, and a bunch of fixes to several of the game's core issues. I figure if there's a time to actually beat the game, that time is now!

Introduction and Character Creation



Before we can get started, we need to decide on what sort of main character we'll be playing. Mods have tweaked character creation options a bit too, so even if you're familiar with the game, you'll want to check out the character creation details in the intro video.

What sort of character will we play?
- Character's Race?
- Character's Sex?
- Character's Star Sign?
- Combat, Magic, or Stealth Specialization?

[freeformschooler]

Male Breton, The Steed, Magic (Enchantment) Specialization.

[Devling]

Holy moly, The Arcadia Show is doing Morrowind on steroids?!?!

Argonian.
Female.
Don't care.
Combat.

[sackhead]

male woodelf who looks exactlty like fargoth.
then kill Fargoth steal his cloathes and wander aimlesly round Seyda Neen

This. More or less.

Or rather, just whatever's shortest. Victory for the short people! Gender, meh.

Magicka regen means magic, yes! Hoptoad mountain climbing, whee!  Stealth specialization base, though. Thief sign. Not Atronach. Whatever to the rest of it.

This.

[Jarod Cain]

Dunmer, male, atronach, mage.

[Teneb]

Dunmer, male, atronach, mage.
-J-

I'll back this.

[Frumple]

... I'd be willing to swap suggestion over to the lizard layout above if it meant dodging atronach >_>

Mana regen! Mana regen! No point in even having the fair regen mod if you're going atronach

And that regen is just... just beautiful. Makes magic enjoyable. Without abusing alchemy. Which is a bit of a PitA.

[Devling]

Yesssss frumple!
You know you want the argonian maid!

Also, I said that the sign didn't matter, but I just remembered the Lover.
So yeah, that's my vote for the sign.

[Phantom]

Nothing can ever go wrong with an Argonian.

A pseudo-Shadowblade character could work. Argonian, Male, The Shadow, and Stealth for that.

A punch-out Vivec style character's cool too. Argonian, Bosmer, or Dunmer, Male, and The Steed and yet again a Stealth focus would be for that, methinks.

[Teneb]

But... argonians can't wear the boots of blinding speed!

[Phantom]

Hey, they claw things, and start with high enough speed as is, although I don't remember if Speed actually does affect Hand-to-Hand.

Besides, ANYONE can use a Scroll of Icarian Flight! Even people in Sotha Sil, in a staircase of death.

[Frumple]

Anyone can use hoptoad, too. Or just a custom built acrobatics/jump spell, whatever. Blinding speed is great, but so is "as the crow flies". Also a bit more involved than just catapulting yourself across half the island or whatever.

I mean, levitation can do the latter, too, but ballistic arcs and occasionally bursting into a cloud of gib from missing a landing is much more enjoyable. Not!Atronach* can even take along a nice heal/regen spell and easily sustain the fall damage it usually involves. (Also, acrobatics goes up up up!).

*Okay, technically them, too, but see re: annoying potion chugging.
