After playing other games for a while, I have returned to Morrowind, and I created a new character.. basically specializing in stealth with a little magic. So, my wood elf is well-honed in the use of short swords.
This time, I deliberately opted to not report the Dark Brotherhood Assassin attacks and for the first few levels those 'men in black' kept on faithfully waking me up, thus supplying me with a handy source of cash
After about level 7, they disappeared (or so I thought), and I basically forgot all about them. So imagine my surprise when I rested at level 20 and was once more rudely awakened by some guy waving a sword in my face. This one seemed more difficult than I remembered, but I duly dispatched him... and was pleasantly surprised to discover that he was carrying a Daedric Wakizashi, which I happily enchanted with Paralyze
Shortly thereafter, I was woken up once more.. this time by two assassins... they posed a serious challenge, but luckily I had plenty of homemade potions on me, and they eventually joined their compatriots in the 'Assassin's Graveyard' outside my house
Needless to say, I kept the two additional Daedric Wakizashi's that they dropped. I can't see any point in selling them, so I'm trying to think up creative enchantments. I'll likely keep one in its virgin condition, but I'd be interested in any ideas for the other. So far I have thought of things like Absorb Health, Fortify Strength, Poison, etc. Note, as I mentioned above, I already have one that paralyzes... and much fun it is too!
