I have Morrowind! Now, we see if my home computer decides to be good and let me _play_ it, unlike it's current feud against Neverwinter Nights.

yeah, having a physical map helps. You can walk EVERYWHERE if you want to. random fights are frequent though. there are patches you can get though so that animals in the wild only attack if you attack or if they are diseased. cuts down on the hack/slash/heal part of the game and then you can focus more on adventuring.

You can also get rides/magical transportation from place to place. doesn't cost much and makes the game go more quickly. But sometimes you have to go WAY off the beaten path and can only get there by wandering.

That's the trouble with a non-linear game...distractions:) really easy to get sidetracked on mini-quests.

Ooooh. I might want that. Although initially at least, the experience from fighting things might be useful. Exploring, _fun_, m'kay?

makes the game go more quickly.

But is that a _good_ thing?

And, I'm very easy to distract. This could be entertaining. ;)

*nod* just check out the morrowind web site for addons. lots of user created ones out there. another one I found useful was actually having the city names on the signs. in-game they're only someweird fake language that you can't read and have to mouseover.

fast travel is good, the game can go on forever, especially with the expansions:)
