What did you do on Morrowind today?

[Ediramadi]

Over the past twenty-four hours my Orc Warrior Ogrum gro-Shagrot rescued another nobleman's daughter from a mad wizard via the taunting and then slaughtering of said mad wizard's retainers. He then raised money for the construction of his stronghold at Bal Isra by selling off some quivers of bonemold arrows and quivers of bonemold bolts that he fletched himself as well as a good part of his personal library that he kept in the Ald'ruhn Fighters Guild. The selling off of his personal library saddened Ogrum but he vowed to build it up again once he had his stronghold set up at Bal Isra.

Anyways, after raising those funds Ogrum then visited Duke Vedam Dren and pledged his loyalty to Morrowind in exchange for a construction contract, then turned in the five thousand drakes and the contract to the Great House Redoran construction manager. He then contemplated joining the Tribunal Temple to perhaps find some spiritual meaning in his life, then decided that he shouldn't make life-changing decisions without a good night's sleep and went to his quarters at the Ald'ruhn Fighters Guild for the night.

Tried to get out of Kogoruhn. I'm stuck.....

[Ediramadi]

Ogrum gro-Shagrot, an Orc Warrior who is a House Brother in Great House Redoran, has managed to prove that he is more shrewd of a merchant than any dishonorable Hlaalu noble. With several quivers of the bonemold bolts he produces as a fletcher and some pieces of refurbished and repaired armor he managed to fix up with his fine skills as an armorer, Ogrum managed to purchase a suit of armor made from the finest adamantium - sans helm - and an entire library of texts both scholarly and otherwise at a an estimated profit of fourteen thousand drakes. He plans to invest a great deal of these profits in shalk resin, bonemeal, raw glass and perhaps a maidservant or two.

I found a new deadric ruin, east of vivec. I was very surprised to find one of Sheorath's minions there.

[Ediramadi]

Ogrum gro-Shagrot decided to forgo purchasing the services of a maidservant or two and instead invested several thousand drakes in a couple suppliers so that they could provide him with large quantities of shalk resin and bonemeal for the production of bonemold bolts and bonemold arrows. He then purchased enough materials to in theory make twenty quivers of one-hundred bonemold arrows that he could then later sell for a decent profit.

I say in theory because the game crashed after he had managed to make these quivers. Thankfully I managed to save the game before Ogrum started production, so it's alright.

[Linkuya]

After dropping off my loot at my Seyda Neen home, I began wondering eastward. Navigating through the waters proved a bit harder than I thought, but luckily I found deadric ruins to find shelter in. I was surprised to see a female nord also exploring the ruins, but we got off on the wrong foot and she found my presence displeasing.

invested several thousand drakes in a couple suppliers

Is it possible to invest in shops in Morrowind? I didn't think it was.

It isn't possible to do it in the sense you can in the later Elder Scrolls games without various fan-made plug-ins, but what I liken one way you could improvise investment in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is to increase the amount a trader will restock when it comes to the wares that they will restock.

Take Arrille for example. He has a supply of shalk resin that he restocks every time it gets bought out. My character Ogrum gro-Shagrot is able to make bonemold thanks to a fan-made plug-in I have, and one of the materials needed is shalk resin. He is going to want it in large quantities so that he can keep up with the made-up supply and demand I created so he decides that he wants to invest in his good friend Arrille by helping him increase his stock of shalk resin, which in turn will help help Ogrum with the production of the bonemold wares that he produces.

If you want to increase the stock of a product that a merchant will restock, the easiest way is to just sell that product you want to that trader, which will then increase the amount that they will stock in the future. This of course only works for items that the merchant will restock, so for example you cannot get Anarenen to increase his stock of dreugh wax because he doesn't restock that. You could however get him to increase his stock of bonemeal since he does restock that.

It still stands that Ogrum gro-Shagrot spent several thousand drakes doing this, which was a good investment since he cannot always make it out to the Grazelands to hunt shalk or to the various ancestral tombs to hunt assorted undead revenants. Now instead if he wants large quantities of shalk resin or bonemeal he can instead give some of his excess wealth to Arrille or Anarenen and get the materials he wants. I think he's pretty satisfied with those results.

I did not know all that, very interesting.

After meandering around eastward of Vivic, I went northwest and discovered an angry merchant who's 'guards' had turned on him and stolen his supply of raw glass. After calming him down, I told him that I would retrieve his stolen goods. Once I found the thieves' hideout, a quite properly butchered all of them with my deadric axe. It was tough picking all those locks, but it was worth it to get his goods back. I returned to the now beaming merchant, and all was made well once again.

Finished the part of the main quest where my PC has to now go around begging everyone to accept me as Hortator/Nerevarine/whatever. House Redoran was an easy start, since my PC is part of House Redoran and is pretty high up in the ranks, but now I have to kill the headmaster and make my way to Vivec. So I decided to do a pit stop to Caldera for the lulz and I found Creeper for the first time.

I went northward of Vvardenfell, and saw a brand new enemy, a winged twilight.

[Ediramadi]

Ogrum gro-Shagrot was asked by Galsa Gindu to check on the construction of his stronghold at Bal Isra, and later that night was attacked by an assassin with a daedric wakizashi that now belongs to the noble Orc Warrior of Great House Redoran.

[Linkuya]

Got attacked by another Dark Brotherhood Assassin.

Got attacked by another Dark Brotherhood Assassin.

They stopped appearing after a while for me. Or was that because I went to Mournhold by accident then went back when I realized I was in a different place?

I think their attacks stop as soon as you talk to that guy in Ebonheart.

As for me, I helped a Telvanni wizard to get rid of some Hlaalu folks, who were trespassing his home, then helped out Azura and trapped my first Golden Saint soul in the process. Now I gotta figure out which constant effect enchantment(s) I want to put on that exquisite shirt. And I guess I'll have to make a decision about how to solve a leveling issue that I'm gonna run into rather sooner than later. That's the downside of playing an enchanter. I don't use many skills.

[udubdawgs]

i implemented a new training rule for my imperial paladin:

major and minor skills can be trained via payment ONCE per player level.
misc skills up to 14 can be increased by trainers a total of 5 times no more than twice a day.
from 15 and up, they can only be trained via payment once per player level.

as well, when using persuasion on merchants and the like, i can use admire and bribe ONCE each per day.

Ogrum gro-Shagrot raided the shrine of Ramimilk and did business with the denizens located there. In exchange for their lives he acquired a copy of The Armorer's Challenge for his personal library as well as some assorted pieces of treasure which he sold for about eight thousand drakes.

The next day Ogrum gro-Shagrot began a walk that will eventually lead him to Molag Mar, with his first stop in Caldera ending up with him getting a silver shardaxe, a frostmirror robe, a ring of aversion and a ring of lightning bolt. Ogrum then delivered a package to Tsiya in Balmora, and got involved in some legal mass murder at the corner club upon orders from Larrius Varro. He is very happy with what Larrius Varro rewarded him with as well for his added discretion, and decided that he would make his way towards Pelagiad after having had drunk a few rounds of flin with his new friend in the Imperial Legion.

[cybrxkhan]

Fighting the Telvanni Archmage (for the Telvanni Hortator part of the main questline) was pretty intense, I used up almost all my health potions and barely got away with a divine intervention spell. But I managed it somehow without cheating, and I thought originally I would have to cheat to win this one!

[Ediramadi]

My dark elf enchanter Amana raided two ancestral tombs and a smuggler's den and then lead three slaves to the Argonian Mission so that they could be taken care of and sent back to their homelands. She also gave an iron tanto a fire damage enchantment and befriended a bandit that is now offering her training at an affordable price.

Spoiler:

The abolitionist bit is thanks to a plug-in I am trying out with this new save.

Ralis Arrived in Vivec and he's lost in the big city.

[Ediramadi]

Amana managed to return a silver bowl to the wife of an Imperial soldier and then may have perhaps helped a Dunmeri trader hook up with a Bosmeri serving girl. She also purchased a complete set of journeyman-grade alchemy equipment and then got attacked by an agent of the Dark Brotherhood in her sleep, which was a time that made her glad to have an arsenal of anti-Dunmer weapons, spells and enchantments that let her dispose of assassins, bandits and the like without damaging their equipment. Amana then made nice with an Ordinator and got to work on helping some annoying fool find work in a play called "The Lusty Argonian Maid". Oh, and she read a book belonging to a Hlaalu nobleman and then slept in his guest room for some reason.

[SlyElite23]

I murdered King Helseth and took the Royal Signet Ring, rendering me practically invulnerable.

[Ediramadi]

Well other than noticing a glaring typo that I didn't notice for the first seven years of playing Morrowind that is also present in the rest of the Elder Scrolls franchise, I started a new game of Morrowind, tested out a few plug-ins, and got the latest incarnation of my Dunmeri enchanter Amana into what Bethesda calls the Mages Guild.

Spoiler:

I am pretty damn certain that the plural for mage is magi, not mages. I've now got the urge to create a plug-in that corrects this error, but I am not certain if I can do this without breaking my game. If anything the "Mages Guild" should be called the "Guild of Magi" or the "Magi Guild". Some days I really loathe having English as my best subject because of things like this.

Magi is the plural form of the latin Magus. A Magus was originally a Zoroastrian priest. Most everyone will be familiar with the Three Magi, or Three Wise Men, of biblical fame. While the English "Mage" takes the latin root mag- (meaning "Great"), it is not a complete assimilation of the latin word (as is so often the case with the english language). Therefore, Mage is a variant of Magus, and thus takes a different plural form.

I created a new character. I am working on some of the quests in the starting town but did not get far before turning in.

Probably going to finish them and go to Genisis to join the imperial legion. That is always the first thing I do when starting a new game. I liek to get as far as I can in the legion quest.

I do fighters guild and Morag tong later on as well.

Ive not tried mages guild or cult yet usually because I am not a magic player. I prefer to st ick to melee and if I can I go with bows and stealth.

If I get bored I may wipe out a town or something. I did that before on my Xbox file.

[Linkuya]

I got lost in the sewers of the Mournhold place.
I hate the Mournhold sewers.
