Hello and welcome led_head

Yes, some of us (including myself) have and still do play Morrowind, in fact we have a forum for The Elder Scrolls and whatever discussions pertaining to that game and its expansions.

I myself have always played a Dark Elf fighter/mage. Best item in game is subjective, though, depending on your individual playstyle and character class. My personal favorite item is the Umbra Sword, without a doubt.

i play a high elf with all mage schools as skills and short sword and light armor. best item is the cloak of st. ronin or so. that gives you health and stamina recovery. you are invincible with that. you can even be a lvl onbe vamp and stand outside in bright daylight and fight a guard without dieing.

Chameleon is way too cheap. I found a ring of 80% chameleon I think, and the enemies couldn't even see me. It lasted like two minutes, so I had all that time to hack away at enemies who fleed in terror. That's no fun. What exactly is weakness to magicka anyway? I assumed that was negative magic resistance. Does it just make magic do more damage? I always play a Breton with the saviors hide for 110% magic resistance, but never chose that sign because I was afraid it would make me no longer immune to spells. It was a neat character though; I found Dagoth Ur early on in the game, and apparently he just throws spells at you. I just stood there and laughed as I resisted every single spell. Then I pushed him off a ledge into some lava by just walking into him. Pretty funny. Too bad he didn't stay dead...

When I play as a rule I never use invisibilty/chameleon spells, and don't use levitation while fighting, don't enchant items to make huge fireballs to blow up entire towns, and don't pay for training because then it's no longer an RPG it's click on training for hours spending all the money you got by stealing all the best items at level 1. I don't even use weapons anymore because even that makes it too easy. Now I play on all the way hard as a pure mage who is too weak to cast spells =). Finally, a challenge.

[BallOfFire]

Lol. Crazyness. Though the Cameleon ring is just as good because the only things that can see through it are mages (no idea why, the fighters just run in fear). But being immune to magic makes me invincible anyway, so Sanctuary is unnecessary. Though I also never use it because even without using it I could tell it could probably be abused. Even on the hardest difficulty the game is way too easy even with the restrictions I put on myself. Except for one thing: reflection. On the hardest difficulty enemies reflect spells VERY OFTEN and spell resistence doesn't help against that. So I cast a spell and kill myself. That's why I've been playing other games rececently instead. Can't wait for Oblivion... especially after hearing the story about the guard who got hungry and went out to kill a deer, was arrested for using violence against an animal, starting a brawl between the guards, and then thieves came and robbed all the stores in town since the guards were distracted. That's some good AI...

And look, we have a section devoted entirely to Morrowind

The easiest class to play in the game is probably just a straight fighter, heavy armour, block/single handed weapon or double handed weapon makes little differnce, I'd go for the single handed and shield, and long swords. A good race for this is Redguard or Imperial, but Dark elves, Orcs or Nords can carry it off too, perhaps using axes instead of swords.

I go for the character that will be strongest at the end of the game. That means I don't pick anything but Breton because they are far superior to the other classes even though they get slow start since their skills are magic based. Though with 70k gold (which is easy to get) I can level my character about 10 times in about an hour and end up with about 150k gold without getting any training =). I always do this at the start (I won't tell unless you ask since it gives you a HUGE headstart, even though its totally legit).

[Sein_Schatten]

Weakness to magicka makes non-resisted magical attacks do more damage. (Of course with 100+% MR, there is no non-resisted magical attack  so Apprentice is safe for Bretons)

Anyone who thinks Chameleon is cheap obviously never tried Sanctuary. 
You can enchant items up to 100+ Sanctuary. Which is insane with Bretons.
Breton + Savior's Hide = 100+ MR (Magicka Immunity)
100 + Sanctuary = Enemy Physical attacks always miss (Physical Immunity)

Invincibility. 

w00t. i should pay more attention to the spell description. my evil combo is damage strength 100 and then blast them away with poison/fire damage. or cast levitate and then let my summons do the job. if i am in danger i cast invisibility and retreat and heal.

[Sein_Schatten]

i can also make me a god with alchemie at lvl1 . and kill the toughest monster with one hit. evil enough?

[AnnabelleRose]

I don't, but welcome anyway.

Wait a minute... Shouldn't this thread be moved to 'The Elder Scrolls' forum?

I've thought about it.

[Kai of Candlekeep]

It would be appropriate, yes.

Quiet Lurker, you were unfortunately wrong =(. Weakness to Magicka= negative magicka resistance. I played my Breton with the sign that gives weakness to magicka for like 14 hours until I got the cuirass of the savior's hide and realized what was going on when spells were slaughtering me. 50% from being Breton plus 60% from savior's hide minus 50% from the sign = 60% =(. No magic immunity like I normally have. I gave up on the character and maybe on the game, cause there is no way I'm replaying those 14 hours AGAIN.

I usually play Morrowind as a Breton Battlemage or an Altmer Spellsword or vice versa. Combining magicka and an enchanted weapon used by a magicka/heavy Race is my favorite gameplay. I usually open each new TES game from Arena on with a khajiit character since so many TES games start in a dungeon or the dark and khajiits have night-eye to see in the dark. I also play Nord warriors and sometimes a dunmer .. all these characters are female.
