| | | Speaking as an xbox gal, I would sincerely recommend you get the pc version of Morrowind. Just for the mods. Especially for the mods. Then you can download our very excellent "Less Generic NPC" mod! As well as practically a million others. I've heard theories that some mods can be used in x box, but it requires a very high technical skill and a lot of hocus pocus. And I am neither magical or technical. So.... well, pc morrowind is better.

| | | I second Beornica's enthusiastic endorsement of PC mods. In fact, they're one of the main reasons I've returned to Morrowind after a couple of years. There are literally 3000+ mods that add new visual effects, more sounds, largescale quests, new NPCs, extra dialog, more realism, extra playing options, tweaks to make the game easier or harder, etc.

| | Yes, being able to download the mods is an awesome advantage!
Also, if something goes wrong, for example if you inadvertantly lose or sell an item you later require for a quest, you can use the console to import it back into your game. 
Just make sure your computer has the required specs... They are in reality far higher than Bethesda's estimations...  Running some mods can be an even greater additional resource drain...

Do mods that replace the original visual textures with newer, more attractive but memory-intensive ones, "cheat" somehow? Are new, expensive robes or cloaks that are simply attractive, unbalancing?

| | | Oh no, trust me, I love my x box. And my collection of games I can play on it. But come on, wouldn't you like to have Rhedd's heads?

My character has one of the female Breton heads/hair from Rhedd's and wears a very flattering and very purple robe.. It is just an aesthetic touch but these sorts of visual improvements can really increase the enjoyment factor, especially in a game like MW where so much is based on the graphics.
btw @ beornica, I've been meaning to mention, I love your sig! Just wait till the said child is older, then you'll be fighting over the electronic toys... (I have a 9-yr-old son).

Ok since the title of this thread is just Question, I decided not to create another thread to ask it..
Where is the "Evidence" chest in Mournhold?
Sorry for going off topic but im trying to reduce the amount of threads we have..

| | Don't worry about having too many threads, here. Buck's pretty ruthless about cutting out old stuff. And your chances of getting answers increases with a separate thread--and a relevant title.

| | @Fable,
lol! I had noticed that.. There are probably all kinds of stereotypical assumptions out there about male players...
Here is a shot of my character taken from the balcony of her Arch Mage Tower in Pelagiad. I should have probably taken the "photo" before enchanting the robe, but oh well http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v...a/MW_char3.bmp
here is a closeup http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v...a/headshot.bmp

| | I haven't been interested in adding any mods that improve the look of the PC because I always play in first-person-view, but I have to say, DW, your mage looks pretty good! I may have to fiddle with Redds Heads after all....
btw: What the heck is she holding in that picture? It looks like a melting staff...

btw: What the heck is she holding in that picture? It looks like a melting staff... | lol! well Rhedd's are seriously worth it, there is a link to the site in the MW Yellowpages Sticky. I play in first person too, but every so often I'll press tab just to see how a robe or a weapon looks, and I admit it's fun to have a head that isn't all pixilated and blurred. Besides... the game portraits are not, in most cases, exactly inspiring....
*snicker* Don't worry I haven't managed to find a Horrid Wilting spell in MW yet That is the Daedric Crescent... a very sweet weapon indeed.. It is fun at this stage too because I have maxed my short blade skill, and the crescent is classed as a long blade, so I still miss a lot Though when I actually hit, it takes most nasties out with one swipe
