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!

Thanks Destri, and I suppose Renee is fine. Renee is my real first name. I only call myself Lady Saga here because I like telling stories...."sagas" if you will.

Your story is great, too. I have yet to try Morrowind. I really wish I had an Xbox back in the early 2000s. If so, I'm sure I'd be a TES veteran with 20,000+ posts on the forums, just like some of you folks.

You´ve posted quite alot Renee, so you´re still a veteran (I´m gonna call you Renee here too if that´s ok).

And I think you should try out Morrowind and see what you think. Even if you don´t like it, you´ve still tried it and are entitled to an opinion

Oh I'm sure I will like it. I just haven't got the time for it nowadays. ya know.....there's Kahreem and Saga (and all the writing that goes along with each story), and there's Oblivion RP character ideas I haven't even implemented yet. And I'm still very involved with Skyrim: I've got two characters extant and active in that game.

There's real-life. Factor in all these, and it leaves me no time for TES: III. Which kinda sucks. I wish I had been active with Morrowind throughout the early new millenium, instead of some of the crap I slogged thru on the Playstation and PS2.

Yeah you really missed out. Although you could grab it cheap for PC and then use some of the graphic update mods to make it look better than it ever was back then.
