My thoughts on Morrowind (exploits)

[Harth]

Biggest exploits that spoil the game badly:
Boots of Blinding Speed
Vassir-Didanat exploit
Alchemy Intelligence Boost (w/ or without proper Restoration spell)
Drinking flin, sujamma and mazte
Bound weapons spells (and super cheap Ra'Virr's enchanted spear and dagger)
Stealing soul gems from Galbedir in Ajira's quest
Trapping summoned monsters' souls
Stealing orcish pieces in Creeper's
Creeper himself
Collecting restocking guilds' supplies
Collecting 3 or more cheap healing items from enchanter vendors
Free daedric dagger in Redoran canton sewers, Vivec

Sorry I'll write more in the future. But there are so much exploits that the game goes imbalanced very fast. I've heard there is a possibility to steal glass set from the Ghostgate, any knowledge on this?

As I recall, the glass set is at the blacksmith in the left tower of the Ghostgate, on his shelves. I've never tried to steal them.

Biggest exploits that spoil the game badly:

Only if you choose to take advantage of them.

And yes, Dronos Llervu has an almost complete set of glass armor in his smithy on the lower level of Ghostgate's Tower of Dusk.

[Harth]

It's hard to not choose to take advantage of at least some of them because there's so much of them.

I've checked the glass set exploit and I think you need at least some Sneak // Chameleon to steal this, but it's really possible. Not on lower levels though I think. I'd go there after Caius gave me his thieving set of clothes. Unless you 've got Sneak in your majors. By the way, one exploit I've never done is the Amulet of Shadows.

If you're looking for ideas to make your next playthrough more interesting, I'd recommend taking a quick look at my 100% Difficulty Guide, which you can find here:

In my opinion, Morrowind is at its best when you fully embrace roleplaying and deliberately avoid exploiting certain game mechanics. My most memorable playthroughs have all been centered around a strong character concept with meaningful self-imposed restrictions.

For example, I once played a Khajiit cartographer whose sole ambition was to explore every corner of Vvardenfell. He traveled with very few supplies, surviving by gathering and selling plants whenever he reached a town.

Another time, I created a character who eventually became an Imperial Census Agent. He was physically weak, had no aptitude for magic whatsoever, and was driven almost entirely by greed. Over time, he accumulated enough wealth to become something of an aristocrat.

If you're looking for a genuine challenge, I'd also recommend trying a pacifist playthrough. Avoid killing whenever possible and only resort to violence when it is absolutely necessary. It completely changes the way you approach the game and makes many situations far more rewarding to overcome.

Morrowind would be best with some game balancing mod. Seriously, when you know all the gimmicks, it is too easy to have a xx thousands of gold supply, providing cheap training. You do not have to level up by fighting at all, at all.

Also Alchemy is completely broken. Not only can you earn infinite $$ also gain super strong boosts. It's so easy to find out this trick. Not to mention all the apparatus lies there for free in Caldera and you can buy all the best set in as far as I remember in Tel Mora.

I've found several glass short blade weapons throughout the game for free also. One glass short blade can be stolen in Telvannis canton Vivec.

I've made a new playthrough several weeks ago and I fight only with a Dwarven Halberd (max. dmg 28) and it is still too easy. I have 65 strength, dont use randagulfs // strength boosts and still hit very hard.
