I just started this game last week and I'm hooked. I'm a redguard under the sign of the lady, which gives me that big boost. I was thinking of trying a character a little more original..
By the way, I just picked up Dungeon Siege yesterday, and I think Morrowind has me totally spoiled. DS looks like crap to my eyes now.. has anyone else had a similar problem? I just picked up NWN today (for $14.99 SWEEEEET) and I'm actually afraid I'm going to be dissapointed because of Morrowind.

Rabbit, can you remind me who Hrundi is? I got a dwemer ruins quest from that person, but now I can't remember who they are or where they're located.
thanks,
Tuan Jim

lets see since I don't know how to use spoiler tags, lets see if I can make it through this without spoiling anything. Rabbit, when you're talking to the head of the thieves guild, don't bring up the head of the fighters guilds name or else what you said will happen. If you just do that he'll still give you quests. Hope that helps.

Another quest(ion) regarding Dwemer ruins and whatnot. I've retrieved the translation guide, but when I go talk to Balas, the guy in Gnisis, he doesn't give me any more real information. Even though I've already picked up a tube and "Divine Metaphysics" and the plans for a Dwemer Airship, he doesn't seem to acknowledge them. Are any of those things used anywhere else by anyone else in the game?

I go there a lot (since the sale started, almost daily to see what was traded in).
Anyway, I started NWN tonight and I love that too. Different than Morrowind, but IMHO, just as good. Dungeon Siege is definitely going back to the store though. Not that it's a bad game, it just pales in comparison.

I joined the Molag Tong. Sweet. Assasin for Hire.
I duno about the Fighters Guild-/-Thieves Guild problem. Those two clash from the start so I did one or the other.
The New Char I'm playing is a Dark Elf, sign of Lady, "Vampire Hunter", Right now I'm appart of: Thieves Guild, Mages Guild, Imperial Legion, House Redoran, and the Molag Tong.
The Molag Tong quests are odd.
It doesn't matter what guildhouse you go to when, you will always get the certin set of quests in the certin order. Least thats how it seems so far. Balmora gave me a quest, I screwed it up, I loaded a save, went to Ald'Run they gave me the same exact quest I got from Balmora.
Wanna know how to join the Molag Tong?

You are welcome.
I just wish I could type better.
Forgive the grammar and spelling, I had my bass guitar in my lap when I typed all that.
I had to pay 8,000 to the guards yesterday because when I killed one of my "targets" it pissed off everyone else in the Inn, they all ran into the room to kill me so I ran out and closed the door behind me making them stay in the room.
Problem is in my brilliance I forgot to get the saguine item from my Target. The whole point of killing her.
When I tried to open the door there were 5 people behind it trying to get out, so the door wouldn't buge.
I ended up having to cast about 20 "Greater Fireballs" at the door so it would eventualy kill everyone on the other side.
So I had to pay the guards for wiping out the antire Inn.
Damn the game for that. In the sequal, patch, update, or add-on I hope they fix that bug.
I call it "The Doorjam Massacre of Palegrid"

You probably already know this Brinstar, but for anyone just starting out - That's why whenever I know I have to kill someone in a room full of people I get them to attack me first by taunting them repeatedly until they attack. It's easier for taunt success (if you don't have a high speechcraft) if you're at high disposition with the NPC. So bribe them first. You can always get the money back anyway after you kill them.
This works especially well if you need to recover an item from an evidence chest in the forts.

True, but when your in the Morag Tong and your out to make a Kill the Kill will never talk to you.
Soon as you talk to it, it will say "goodbye" and you wont have the chance to Preswade it any.
Sometimes they will still attack first, but even when that happens the others in the room will still join the fight.
Its one of the quirks of the Morag Tong quests.
I just made Guildmaster
Now to go back and pick up the Redoran House quest where I left off. (the first quest)
Anyone know where the damn Crab Lady (snikker) is?
They say she's "due west of Ald Rhuin" but I've covered the land and can't find her.
The Guar Heard lady with Crab Problems (chuckle).

Took me a looong time to find her. When they say out west, they really mean due west -- virtually on the coast -- but still straight across from Ald'ruhn.

What kind of character do you plan on creating? Big tough fighter? Magic user? Theif?

Versatility and (Easy Char):
Race: Imperial
Class: Combat
Specialty Traits: Strength, Agility
Primary Skills:
Long blade
Heavy Armor
Restoration
Merchantile
Acrobatics
Secondary Skills:
Enchant
Speachcraft
Athletics
(marksman, security, or sneak)
Destruction
I recomend not using security as a main skill and instead as soon as posible enchanting an Exquisite ring with 100 point Unlock. All you'll need for lock picking. You can even steal the nessicary soul gems from the mages guild quest.
Same goes for Levitate, water walk, chemilion(sp bad), and any of the bound/summon spells you prefer.
ASAP find a daedric weapon that fits your char, Dai-Kitana, Battle Axe, Claymore, shortsword, or dagger. Then enchant it with a spell up to a high level. I've found Absorb Health is the best since its non-elemental and you get the health back. A dai-kitana can take 54 points of absorb health per hit, and ifyou togle the numbers it can do between 40 and 64 a good range, making the total amount per hit be between 41 and 100. The daedric claymore can do up to 120 with absorb health, but those seem to be harder to find.

Maybe someone could help me here and let me know if i ran into a bug in the PC version.
First off i have exploited one bug that allows me to have permanent bound gauntlets and a permanent bound dagger. The dagger i have had for forever so i know that isn't the issue - the gauntlets are new. Now when i try to talk to the guy in the mages guild in Ald'Ruhn who is on the bottom floor in the little alchemist nook he will no longer barter or train. Every time i try he says that he won't buy that skooma from me and that he won't trade with me until i get rid of it.
The thing is i don't have a skooma. If i go and talk to him without the gantlets on he says the same thing. For the life of me i can't figure out what in my inventory is pissing him off. Has anyone else had this issue?
