Hmm, constant bound helmet then? Never used them myself. I have this crazy notion of wanting to actually see my character's head most of the time. Then I was using cheap magic tricks to compensate.

I just met Almalexia, which was a pretty cool experience...if I weren't interested in seeing how the story progresses, I'd know where my next helmet would come from - the set Hands of Almalexia are wearing looks freaking sweet. Wouldn't solve my Ordinator harassment problems, though. I just reset and gave up wearing the Ordinator helm. It's a shame I have heavy armor as a miscellaneous; I've got a Daedric Face of Inspiration and a set of Lord's Mail that aren't much more than trophies on a shelf at home right now.

I also just fought Gavis Drin (the mage whose useless brother attacks you in Mournhold's bazaar) - holy crap!! That's easily the most insane fight in the entire game so far. I got my ass handed to me, and barely managed to amulet-of-divine-intervention my ass out of there before being creamed by the deadric hordes.

Same here. When I play Fable I like running around with no helmet and sometimes no chest armor either to show off my tattoos ("Or as young people like to call them, 'Tats.'"), there's just something about actually seeing the person that's nice. I don't care quite as much in Morrowind, but that's because I play almost exclusively in first-person so helmets are little more then stat boosters to me.

yeah, you can create your own class/appearance. with the right plug-ins (get the pc version,) you'll have a lot more variety to choose from than the game shipped with. that isn't to say the game is limited out of the box.. it's just that the texture art isn't very good.

interesting side note, the world of morrowind that was first introduced in arena was based on the d&d world the designers played, so actually the tes series is one degree of seperation from d&d, though you will find the races somewhat different. Elves are similar to their d&d counteparts but far less friendly, orcs are actually more friendly, and live at tenuous peace amongst elves and humans. Dwarves..well i will let you see whats up with the dwarves. And there are 2 beast races, cat/elves called kajiit, and lizardmen called aragonians. they are fairly new, from a d&d perspective, since the lizardmen were always c-grade heavies, and i dont recall a prominent sentient cat race.

The character creation is very free in which skills you take, there are quite a lot, grouped under stealth, magic, and combat, so if you want you could custom class a heavy armor weilding swordsman who casts spells and can pick pockets, though you will run into some limitations in how your skills grow. as for the appearences, as ep said, not too much freedom there, pc has free mods that have added hundreds of new appearences to the game, do the right thing.

while the PC version is great, and yes, better than the xbox version, the xbox version is still fantastic. If you prefer playing on consoles (like me, I like to lie in bed to play morrowind for extended hours) then you'd be fine picking up the xbox version.

My whole suit of armor besides pauldrons were Bound as constant effect. I really wish there was a way you could duel online =(

Then again... people would get killed very quick untill they started ramping up thier resists to elements and magic (absorb health).

This thread sucks. After reading it I started playing again on an old early main quest savegame then went out and got Bloodmoon and Tribunal.

I don't have time for this again. And I can't believe the game is already this old.

Yay for Morrowind.

[StriderKyo]

Is there a specific order I should do the expansions to? Ie., should I finish the original main quest before finishing Tribunal, or vice-versa? Where does Bloodmoon fit in? I want to go through as much of everything as I can, and don't want to end the game prematurely.
