I GOT THE NORMAL, EDITION OF Morowind (dam caps) today and i was wondering wat are the classes and species best avoided?

[The Amazing Maurice]

Those cat thingys are useless.

Khajits or something like that.

[khay]

I kinda like them, but I agree on the fact that they`re not recommended for first try.

My favorites are the Argonians and Nords, not because of what they can do, but because I like their history and culture. All in all, Nords are quite tough!

I dislike the beast races due to the fact they can't wear those boots of speed.

[khay]

Yes, it can be annoying, but it`s nice to roleplay such races. It gives a different view on lots of things.

There are mods which enable them wearing boots, though.

[The Amazing Maurice]

Is there a mod (not that I'd use it as I have the XBOX version), that adds new faces?

The basic ones are proberly the most mingin I've ever seen.

[khay]

Yes, there is! Several, in fact! Plus there`s one called Better Bodies which adds.. well better bodies. Check out the new topic with the mod list.

I started with a dark elf assassin but i may start again.

I don't recomand to play as a Dark Elf since you are still seen as an outlander. It sould have been forbitten to play as a Dark Elf like it was forbitten to play as Imperial in Daggerfall and Arena.

I prefered the Dunmer race as the story makes (some) sense that way.

I first played as a Redguard and the story made sense. Then I tryed a Dark Elf assasin and I was fustrated that nobody even mistaken me as a dunmer, you can't join the Comona Tong since you are not a Dunmer (from where do they know I'm not a Dunmer if we have the same dark skin).
What more sense does the story make if you play as a Dark Elf?

*spoilers*

The whole reincarnated Dunmer god thingy - Maybe it was just me but I couldn't see an Orc, Khajit or an Argonian as the once great Dunmer warrior.

As for the not being accepted as Dunmer issue I thought that was because the PC was from the Imperial(?) place.

(As you can tell Morrowind isn't a game that I took much in from )

I had a few friends in Japan who were ethnic Japanese but born and raised out-side the country. All of them were treated badly from time to time. When a foreigner makes a minor social mistake all but the most xenophobic will shrug and ignore it; when someone who looks like they should know better makes the same mistake it makes people angry.

As to race, I like Brettons or Altmer. Both seem like good choices for a reincarnated Dunmer; one is a mix of Elf and Human just as Morrowind is now a mix of old and new, the other is the race that the Dunmer were before they "fell".

[Caswallon]

Playing Dunmer - while I certainly can understand that inhabitants of Vvardenfell see me as an outlander (what with not born on the island and arriving from the Imperial City), there is no way I could justify rising in House Telvanni with another race as Dunmer... and certainly not one of the sla... err, beast races.

Apart from that - there is nothing less important than classes. Everyone can do everything - certain things might take a bit longer, but there's no restriction.

Currently, I'm on my 3rd run of the game, after two Dunmer now a Nord warrior of Redoran.

The high elfs are really bad, there so weak against magic it sucks.

[Archmage Silver]

Fighter using heavy armor and dai-katanas rocks! Especially nords but tried argonian too and it wasn't so bad.
