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!

Yeah, the combat system. It checks your character´s current stats against the weapon skill needed to hit which decides whether you hit or not.

Oh yes, I know this. It's like rolling dice; either you hit or you miss. I don't have a problem with this sort of system. My problem would be with seeing the animation as a "hit" yet the game rewards my character as a miss. It would take me a long time to get used to this!

So far as the text goes, I wouldn't mind lots of text. There's a lot of games I used to play that didn't have voice acting (we all used to play them, right?) older versions of Final Fantasy, Zelda, and lots of others.
