The First Thing You Felt About Oblivion (or Morrowind), ... When you were a Newbie. Options

[ureniashtram]

Title says it all. What was the first thing you felt about Oblivion(or Morrowind) after playing for the first time? For me, I was lost and amazed. The view, forests, lakes.. It was simply amazing that I broke 20 hours in my first playthrough.

Also made a couple of mistakes.

First, I mistook the Roxey Inn, THE ROXEY INN, for the goddamned Fighters Guild. Probably because there was a Legionnaire and the Breton and his crew. The Innkeeper giving out the bounty for the necromancer's head just about made a fool out of me.

AND, mistaking Bruma for Bravil. Ha! I also took the Atronach birtsign for an Orc, 'cuz it looked cool and all that stuff. Got turned into a vampire the second I entered Barren Cave.

How about you guys? What sort of newbie mischief did you make when playing OB or MW for the first time? List 'em all!

flowerboom: don't even bother, I've already tried to get mirocu to create a second character. Aint gonna happen...I was close, though, wasn't I?

And all of them were terrible characters.

I laughed so hard at this, it seriously started to hurt!

Oblivion was my first RPG.

Oblivion was probably my 15th or 20th RPG or "RPG". Most "RPGs" are terrible PS or PS2 copycat games, like Drakkengard or Crusaders of Might and Magic.

I know people complained that Cyrodiil was so small, but believe me, walking to Weynon Priory I couldn't get over how long it took!

I agree. One of the things I loved early on was how long it took to walk (let's say) from Bruma to Leyawiin. HOURS. And I've never been a runner, I've always walked more than I've run.

I remember just after getting Oblivion, I was a member of IGN's forums and I was commenting on how long it took to get from one place to another. And some other forumite was like "UM .... u know u can fast-travel, rite?" I had no idea what FT was at the time, and once I learned, I still never used it.
