Hi, I started the 3-th game from TES.
I like this saga, even well respected senior Japo thinks I didn't like Daggerfall.
No. Simply Arena is my first love, my first kiss in human life.
Hard to explain but true..

.well I started Morrowind with Bloodmoon and other.

I am Dark elf and the Lady. More of my characteristics in a mean moment.
I am equipped and armored, i know my duty.

But as usually the beginner has some Q. Excuse me Dosraider any novice has something to ask.

1 Q: I dunno how to call Quick Keys menu.
2 Q: Shame, but i dunno how to fight? Which are button for or maybe mouse? Yes, with F i ready the weapon and with ] i change the weapon. I do not want to use WT as stated my friend Capo. It is funny to meet some gigantic crab, who is ready to kill me in the very beginning because this is my first battle.
Ha ha...
The brave killed by some crab..

..and how to collect more money?

Every specialist and no specialist is welcome in my thread. Even.. even.. Dosraider.
Feel free to comment or make remarks.

funny moments ahead, ah?

To fight you ready your weapon and swing, there is an option in the menu to use best attack only I would turn that on if I was you. Otherwise the direction of movement changes the attack and each weapon is better in one attack then the others. Also quick clicking does the lowest damage, holding and then releasing the mouse button will do the higher damage. Depending on the speed of the weapon holding is better or clicking fast is better.

To make money collect things and sell them, if the merchant doesn't have enough money buy items off him then wait 24 hours and start selling those items back to him since he has gotten money back.

Hehe I knew this was coming soon...

The quick keys menu is F1. You can see all the keys (and change them) in Esc > "Options".

To "swing" or attack just left-click (not right- like in Arena and Daggerfall) with the mouse, while your weapon is drawn. There are three types of attack, "chop" "slash" and "thrust" I think. By default you choose the attack by moving the mouse in a particular way while clicking, only that there's only one correct attack for each weapon. For example a chitin spear does up to 13 damage with "thrust", but only up to 2 with the other attacks. As Darth says there's an option in the menu (again Esc > "options") to always use the best attack for every weapon, and then attacking is just click-click-click.

If you hold the left mouse button pressed a little the attack will be stronger. (You can press tab to switch to third person for a moment and see how long does it take your character to wind up the strike completely.)

The best way to collect money is looting of course. But for now I'd just see what you can do in Seyda Neen and then follow the story at least until you're in Balmora. There you can join any guild (and the Imperial cult in the fort outside town) and get quests to level up.

When you're starting out you can make a difference in money by stealing everything you can, if you want. You don't need a good stealth skill if you can find places where nobody's looking, although it's good to use those skills to train them. And remember that you can't sell something if you stole it in the same store/house, because they will recognize the stuff.

Alchemy can be a source of income too, as you can find ingredients everywhere. You can sell them directly but the potions should sell for much more. Also alchemy is hugely useful in Morrowind. You'll need at least a mortar, you can buy or steal one at a number of places, for example the Mague's Guild.

Many thanks for your kind advices dear DarthHelmet86, Japo and Capo.

I very carefully read them and memorized.
For fighting:
May i say it is like..
One press the spring (the weapon), hold for some moment and release to hit enemy?
..ah..something very strange occurred..ha ha ha
I back to the town, swimming the water to rest, because this crab hit me very bad and suddenly some guard attacked and killed the crab...
Very nice act indeed but now i am unable to train on it and use the new lessons.

Well, if i steal something, will be killed as in Ultima Pagan 8 or not?

@Japo
Yes, the "poison" of TES catches me.
Yesterday i was all the day with Mor..
My friends called me for football game, cat. refused.

Once I managed to increase my sneak skill I like to sneak on all my enemies and hit them as hard as I can before they see me. It's pretty hilarious when you do it with strength 300 and a daedric katana or the hammer Sunder.

You mean if you're caught, right? Ask any guard and he can inform you (normally, you don't have to get caught to ask this), I think the topics are "law" or "fines and compensation". If I recall correctly you're given three options: to return the stolen items (I think they somehow identify all of them, not just the ones you just stole at that place) and pay a fine; to return the stuff but not to pay and accept instead a sentence to hard labor (which will reduce your skills); and of course to resist arrest.

I checked the provided link Resist Arrest.

Bravo, senior Japo. You killed all these 8-9 guards.. You are probably perfect fighting machine, not as stupid yoga who afraid to enter and kill just ordinary crab..
Hmm.. but maybe i have some magic option? maybe..?

sob..sob

OFF
Try Dungeon master 2, pls.

[Capo]

I suggest to install some mods before starting, a TES not modded is not a TES.
