Pitifulality, (yes, thats not a word... I know) Options

[Soulseeker3.0]

So, I installed Morrowind becauseI remembered the good times i had of going to caves, loading up on loot and teleporting to the templpes and dropping off all the stuff and then going back for more. good times... anyways, When I was traversing to Balmora to join some guilds and that, I realized how sucky a level one character really is.

My Bosmer Nightblade died to a Nix Hound....

So, any of you guys have any pitiful moments that you would love to share?

[The Metal Mallet]

Trying to kill Foryn Gilith in Seeyda Neen. I could barely hit him with my dagger and he kept knocking me down and nearly killing me.

I would do the run out of the house, rest up my fatigue, jump into the room to fight, and repeat until he died technique.

And definitely don't try to fist fight the guy, unless you're Khajiit I guess

[The Vulture]

was exploring around Seyda Neen. and got beat to death by 3 mudcrabs.

[jack cloudy]

I was running around as usual, then I fall through the floor and die. (What the? )

Luper Alkad the 1st (I'm currently running with Luper Alkad the 3rd): He accidentally picked up a bottle instead of talking to the bartender and had to defend himself against the entire council club. It gave him a death warrant. That messed up his life.

Luper Alkad the 2nd: He accidentally picked up one of Caius' lockpicks and had to stab old shirtless in the heart. No Nerevarine for him. (Seeing a pattern? I pick up a lot of things by accident.)

My assassin dude: On the way to that impossible to spell Dwemer ruin near Balmora, I decided to whip out my crossbow and pepper Snowy Granius from afar. After 15 missed bolts, I'd drawn so close he began running at me while I filled him with metal. He died after five shots to the head. I discarded the crossbow as being too inaccurate, only to find out later I was always aiming at the floor.

Some nameless dude who I never used beyond the introduction: After giving him his name, stats and all, I decided to kill that old freak who asks you all those questions. First few hits were fine, but then the guard stopped intervening and the old guy blasted me to death. Note to self: Don't kill people before you have saved at least once.

With lots of my characters: That guard who walks to you and Jiub and then teaches you how to walk? Well, he really needs to up his navigation skills. There have been countless times that I had to restore because he took a turn to his right after descending the stairs. After that turn, he was lost and walked around in circles or something, never to arrive where he was so desperately needed. I once waited five minutes for him without any luck!

[Kiln]

Well I was about a level 5 maybe 6 when I stopped by the old lighthouse in Seyda Neen for a visit with my thief character...after a few minutes I found some random loot in a container and took it. The lady in the room wasn't very happy with me and I was already tired, having been running around for quite some time.

So her hand to hand skills beat my archery and in the end I had to re-load. Lesson learned, don't mess with the women...even in Morrowind.

[Rohugh]

Doing Fargoths Gold quest - shuffling around (in 1st person) on the top of the lighthouse trying to see him, shuffling too far, falling off and killing myself.
Without a save after arrival!!!

[ThePerson98]

Who else here has had to remake a character about 5 times due to the fact that you keep forgetting a skill you want/like? I'd be one of those people.

First night out of prison a bit outside of Seyda Neen. You're a bit low on health, so why not sleep. So you take a one hour nap and it gets interrupted to the words "Die fetcher!" and you get beaten down by a dark brotherhood assassin. You reload, and decide to sleep closer to town, wake up to the same thing. You go running to the guards and they just kind of look at you as if saying "Oh look, a citizen being chased by an assassin." casually. You die right in front of the guards.

Well when i was knew to RPG's i didn't know that you had to pick a skill that is compatible with your character. So I was running around aimlessly past the Fort at Balmora when i got killed by a cliff racer because my character wasn't good with the weapon i chose for him.

[Soulseeker3.0]

Ha Ha King i did something exactially like that with one of my first characters. I had a Kajjit(sp? I'm still bad) and he was in the fighter's Guild and wasd horrible with blades. Sad thing was that i was in Dagon Fel (I think) with two long blades, a colovian Fur helm, and that scale armor stuff you can find in Scyda Neen. It was so bad I laughed for a while at it.

I have been around MW forums for about 4 years now and you wouldn't believe how many people have made that mistake.

[Black Hand]

Dont know if this is stupid....but I was fighting that Necromancer Lady in that cave north of Hla Oad. Free Master Set of Alcemy Apparatus. Shal I think.

I was barely level two, and was shooting her full of arrows, I thought she was casting for another Greater Bonewalker, but no.

You know how your arrows show up in corpses? They're there even BEFORE they die, it turns out.

She summoned a bound longbow and blasted me too smithereens.

Funny thing was I was actually impressed overbeing upset.

[Pisces]

Yes I did know that because quite often I would use throwing stars and they pull them out and throw them back.

[Shiniku]

Ah, I remember my first time playing morrowind. I didn't know what skills to pick but I think I had longblade or something like that.. but I was carrying around the irondagger of course. After wandering aimlessly for a bit wondering when the next level is gonna start I run into my first enemy; a Kwama forager. I try to hit the lil umbrella seller, but I get no where, and he's wailin on me, so I had no clue what to do.. I saw my health goin down and freaked. I quickly sprinted into the water hoping it had some healing properties, which it didn't, but I noticed the kwama wouldn't come in. After yelling things like 'Ha, what you gonna do now sucker!' at my TV for a few minutes, a small slaughterfish came up and killed me.

Of course I didn't save that character, so I made a new one. This character Was pretty much the same, but I gave fargoth his ring and went in to the merchant dude, and got some various crap, including a sword. I jumped along killing mudcrabs, completly ignoring what I should be doing. I find myself at ebonhart, and see an orc with a nordic helm. I wanted that helm. Needless to say that character didn't make it.

And now for the bigest mistake I have EVER made. My main dunmer(also my fourth character.. my third went to solstheim too soon and got killed by a wolf if you're wondering) in glass armor; ZarR KoOn wasn't too interested in the main quest, so he ran around doing pretty much everything else. His intention was to be a 'mystic marksman' but he used longswords more than anything. So anyway, afyter beating bloodmon and tribunal he decided to do the main quest. Some where along the line some old honoured user told him to go to some old ruiny places and get three items, some corprus compassion, some dwemer sheild, and a house dagoth cup. Well, when I got to the place I saw I had been there before. Well, after literally hours of searching that damned place I found no house dagoth cup. I had picked it up sometime, and chances are I dropped it in some dungeon to lose weight, or sold it to some trader who the hamster knows where. so I never completed the main quest with my dunmer... so instead he went and killed the king of mournhold dude and took his game unbalancing amulet and went on my merry way.

[jack cloudy]

Here's another good one.

Luper Alkad the third was duelling a bunch of bandits. No problem normally since he is this tough Redguard all decked out in armour, shield, sword etc. Well, the thing was that I'd deactivated the 'always use best attack' option so he was moving around doing all kinds of fancy moves instead of endlessly stabbing. Till, he fell of a ledge and died.

Another fun thing. I once tried to lead Snowy Granius to the nearby imperial fort, just to see if the guards would kill him for me. So I ran, expecting him to follow. After arriving, I turned around to see....no one.
,,Great, got stuck behind a tree or something." So I walked back slowly, checking every single rock, tree and other obstacle I found till after five minutes I finally came back to the bridge. Where I saw him pacing back and forth as if he was patrolling the damn thing. That was so great even though I'd been wasting my time. For once, an NPC didn't mindlessly follow me to his doom. His doom did come though, in the form of a longsword in the chest.

[Bolzmania]

I was in a store in Caldera (in level 1 of course) and did a misstake. I kinda robbed him and the guard came and I just clicked somewhere. And somewhere seemed to be Resist Arrest and he killed me.

My Breton girl [don't remember the class anymore, must've been Spellsword again] once cleaned out a cave in southwest Vvardenfell, filled with ash ghouls and cultists. She found pieces of Indoril Armor in there which made her chitin light armor, bought legally in Seyda Need earlier in the game, look even cooler.

All that at Lv2. I pity the fools.
