In Riften find the woman with the blue war paint (wanders around centre during the day) and offer to retrieve her sword from mzinchaleft, that will be quite a trek :) after that there's some good missions that start from the college in Winterhold.

Just crafted myself a full set of Legendary Dragon Armour :D got enough dragonbits left over to make some for Lydia as well.

 

But I probably won't....

 

Dragon armour is awesome. I went with heavy route though.

 

got some enchantments on it too, but can't for the life of me remember what. (not played Skyrim since getting all but one achievement)

 

I did the whole create apparel to create potions in which increases enchanting, and create apparel to wear while smithing which increases smithing.

 

took a while, but ultimately worth it.

 

also there was a glitch where you could wear a circlet and falmar helmet so have double the increase in either potion making or smithing (again can't remember which one as it's been a while)

 

don't know if that glitch has been patched yet though.

I really don't understand the random companion invincibility/deaths

 

I was in the ruins under markarth, fight giant spider she is knocked to her knees (i was too busy trying to cast soul trap), Fight first lot of Falmer - no problems, second set -knocked to her knees, fight dwarven centurian - knocked to her knees multiple times, fight two falmer (1 using poison blades) she dies, reload, she dies, went like that for 5 reloads

 

then back to invulnerability....

 

I've even given her a full set of legendary orc armour i crafted, and its like she has none on sometimes

When she dies, have you accidentally hit her at some point in that fight?

 

nope, atleast certainly not in 1 of them, i was on an upper level and heard fighting, saw her swarmed by two/three falmer and then drop to her knees, i ran back a bit to open ground to fight them then after it was over wondered where she was, dead

 

the other times i could have hit her, but i hit her in most fights and she doesn't die

just very random:hmm:

Around 70 hours in now at Level 41, and I'm geting close to level 100 in Smithing and Enchanting. Each are at 87 and 90 respectively.

 

Also completed the Thieves Guild Questline, which I recommend, as it's brilliant. Near the end of the questline, I also got...

 

...the Nigthingale Armour, which I instantly fell in love with. However, finding Void Salts to improve it is a bit of a challenge. I must upgrade this armour!

This game is super awesome fun by avoiding horses and fast travelling.

 

Getting one place to another is a sudden challenge.

 

Also makes the world seem even more alive and generally epic.

 

Precisely why Morrowind was such a blast. It made the developers FILL the world, rather than just cobble it together. And I know I've said this before: Mark and Recall spells were awesome. I hate the way with fast travel you can only get to certain places /outside/ of your final destination.

 

Oh great, a two minute loading screen.... and now, open the door to the castle... and another loading screen.

I never played Morrowind but have heard about the Mark and Recall spell.

 

Sounds awesome.

 

Surely it meant you could do some crazy shit in certain dungeons, etc in terms of combat.

 

Well, meant you could instantly teleport yourself out of the situation that you had gotten yourself in if it was too much to handle. However, you could only "Mark" one location at a time. It was useful for making the game more of an experience.

 

One of the main quests was given to you on the very South of the Vvardenfell Island, and then required you to walk all the way to the North, and then locate a well-hidden Ashlander Camp. It took about an hour or so, if you had a good athletics skill AND if you didn't stop to smell the roses along the way. And believe me, that was a big temptation. There were all kinds of Dwemer ruins, wizards towers, tombs and settlements along the way. Then the best thing to do was "Mark" the camp so you didn't have to traipse all the way back. Of course, you could have taken a boat to get near to where you wanted to be, but it was still a 30 minute trek.

 

What gets me about Oblivion and Skyrim is that there are too many generic characters: in Morrowind, every single NPC - with the exception of the guards, had a name. So even the Necromancers in the Tombs were named. On one play through, you stumble into their hide-out and they attack. In another play through, the Imperial Cult sent you there to get them to give you directions to an amulet or statue they wanted. There were no "Necromancer Adept" or "Argonian" characters just wandering the world waiting to attack you. Everyone had a purpose.

Love morrowind so much, it was an amazing game, given the right graphical updates its not terrible to view (like deus ex is unfortunatly)

 

In a way i'd love them to remake it or do a huge add on for skyrim they have the land mass as per the video i posted, already there

 

the thing with a remake is it will either be epic and just a graphical update or (the more likely) they will tweek it too much making it worse

I hear you on the graphical update, but even so, the graphics were not all that bad. The water effects still stand up quite well. One thing I feel ruined the series, starting with Oblivion, was the voice acting. Too many characters sound the same, which ruins the immersion, and it actually makes the conversation shorter as I tend to read the subtitles faster than they speak, so I end up skipping all the talking.

The game is outstanding. Right now, I've been travelling around the map, discovering locations and whilst doing that, I've been clearing dungeons and doing mini-missions. Since Christmas Day, I've completed 4 missions and discovered over 140 locations. I've just finished doing the Forbidden Legends mission. My plan is to go around discovering locations and killing stuff and doing missions whilst levelling up. I'm going to do the guild missions and then do the main quest.

 

Basically, I'm doing what I did in Oblivion.

It's great right?

 

I've just been travelling by foot to that place Shorty suggested, spent about 5 hours doing that.

 

First thing I bumped into was a dragon.

 

Then it was 4 trolls fighting two sabre cats.

 

And how am I meant to just walk past Snapleg Cave?!
