Ok, my obsession with Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind did not dye with the release of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. And now, after just having beaten Oblivion for the 5th or 6th time, I think its time I revisited my roots in Morrowind.

Because I have nothing better to do, and I feel like I could do more with this blog, I'm gonna be chronicling all that I do so far as beating Morrowind in their own set of blog posts with their own, new category. Huzzah!

Now then, I'll start out with character creation and some of my choices there I suppose...

I went with an Argonian because, well... They're my favorite. No real rational reason for that.

Since my decisions thus far hadn't been so rational as much as just instinctual, I built a class thats mostly just a mix of different skills I like / couldn't live without.

Class: Samurai
Specialization: Combat
Favorite Attributes: Strength, Speed
Major Skills: Acrobatics, Alchemy, Medium Armor, Unarmored, Long Blade
Minor Skills: Armorer, Marksman, Restoration, Athletics, Speechcraft

Sign: The Tower (never tried it before, thought I may as well now...)

I also made the decision right off the bat that I'd try and get through the whole thing as a vampire... 'cuz that kicks it up a notch.

Anyway, I head out from that first room of the census office and into that dinning area. Stole everything.
Went out the door, took that ring of Fargoth's and then in to talk to that other guy... ol'-whats-his-name who gives you all those secret papers and whatnot.

Once outside in Seyda Neen, I head over to the trade house. Didn't bother to sell my plunder right away, instead opting to take the quest where you steal Fargoth's monney, and never give it to the guy. (Fargoth's Hidding Place)

Had a devil of a time trying to get that quest to work, but after much waiting I realized I wasn't quite on my mark at the very top of the lighthouse, as soon as I was, Fargoth did his thing. Also found a book worth 300 gold on my way up the lighthouse, just inside the top level door under a bench.

With Fargoth's loot in my pocket, I head out of Seyda Neen, towards Balmora. Picked up all the stuff on that elf that falls from the sky, Tarhiel.

Decided against walking the full distance to Balmora just after that, and head back to the Seyda Neen Stilt Strider.

Once back at Seyda Neen I sold all I had to Arrille and bought a mortar and pestle. Soon as I was done with Arrille, I shifted my focus on the myriad of ingredients I had already gathered. Among those that I could actually use for something, I found I had enough to try some things like water walking potions. Made some of those and sold them too.

I then headed over to Balmora, making a quick stop at the town's alchemist, buying an potion of Exclusive Invisibility before taking the silt strider over to Suran.

Once in Suran, I entered the Guard Tower nearest the silt strider and made my way to the top. Using the invisibility potion I got myself in Balmora, I made myself undetectable to the nearby guard for a moment as I nabbed the Sword of White Woe lying there under the bed.

Then I left Suran and returned to Balmora via the ever-popular silt strider.
