| | | No PC Race Dwarves?
Gidday all,
Well this game has been sitting on my shelf for ages, waiting for a new PC to arrive on my desk. Since I now have the new PC, I thought I'd install Morrowind and start playing - so I'm a complete newbie at this game.
A quick question - my favourite PC race in all other RPGs is Dwarves. But I can't play one in Morrowind - why not? Are there no Dwarves in Morrowind? No Dwarves in the Elder Scrolls series at all (I haven't played the previous games)?
Any Dwarf mods around?
Cheers,
TGHO

| | | Play the game for a little while and I think you'll find out why there are no playable dwarves.

| | I came across a mod the other day that allows the PC to play both dwarves and hobbits. I think it was at TES. http://www.tesmods.net/modules.php?o...titleA&show=10
I agree with Jopperm though.. it is unrealistic to be able to play a dwarf.. given the history of Vvardenfell. Equally, hobbits have never been part of the Elder Scrolls universe.

| | | Eh, missing Hobbits I don't mind so much.
But why no Dwarves? What's happened to them?
Cheers,

Cheers,
TGHO | Play the game and find out 
Or if you want to be spoiled, type dwarves into the Game Banshee search engine

| | No spoilers for me! I'll keep playing then. Although my Argonian Knight is only wandering around Sayda Nedine (sp?) at the moment, waving is rusty dagger about. Stabbed a mud crab to death before, that was fun. Gave Fargoth back his ring. Now looking for this merchant guy. Got to be around here somewhere... 
Cheers all,
TGHO

Um, sorry. Channeling Kodachi, there (for all you Ranma fans). Yes, there are Dwarf mods, as DW indicates, and plenty more, too. Go here, then type in dwarf in the description field. (It won't link directly here to specific mods.) You'll find dwarven race mods by Matt, Blitzer, Tarnsman, and Sanguinius. I can't vouch for any, never having tried a racial mod.
That said, check the sticky thread at the top of the forum for recommended mods. Many of them can be found on Morrowind Summit. Enjoy!

| | In case you can't tell.. the people here like mods.
Edit: ALso, play some of the game before making a dwarf with a mod. The Dwarves of Morrowind are not quite the same as most fantasy, and it would be rather unrealistic to be a dwarf there.

| | Cripes guys, let me find this merchant dude first! It looks to me as though Seyda Neen is a pretty small place. I'm assuming (don't tell me if I am wrong!) that the guilds (again, assuming that there are a few) are based elsewhere - maybe this "Balmora" I have to go to find this Caius guy.
But why would I, as a Knight, want to join the Mage Guild? I've got Restoration as a Minor Skill, but that's Priest/Cleric I assume. I do have Enchant as well, I suppose they can teach me some of that (and sell me some Enchant spells as well).
@fable
Posting from the room with rubber walls again, mate? I want to find out about Elder Scrolls dwarves (as suggested by Dragonwench and jopperm2) before installing a Dwarf mod. Thanks for the suggestions though.
Cheers,
TGHO

| | | Ok just ignore all the people here and go play. And I don't know about you, but when I get a game I haven't played yet, I tend to stay away from any of the forums, cause they tend to spoil it for me.
And if you gonna join anything join the Imperial Legions. |

Seyda Neen is just a minor port. But hang around for a bit, build up your skills, and purchase a few basics: maybe a little armor and a weapon or two, possibly a spell or a couple of potions. Balmora's not a simple walk over the hill. But why would I, as a Knight, want to join the Mage Guild?
If you're a roleplayer, you can define your background any way you want, and that includes many opportunities to play a knight who uses magic. If you're a powerplayer, on the other hand, the attraction to know and use spells is obvious. After all, your enemies won't be put off by your ignorance. @fable

You try moderating on these boards for years, and see how many flying casaba melons you end up talking to.
