This is for everyone. It's for people starting off in the game, it's for veterans, it's even for me when inevitably my hard drive crashes and I lose all my bookmarks. It is a compilation of all the good Morrowind sites that I've come across in my wanderings on the internet, with descriptions of what you'll find there and a rating out of 5 stars. I know there are a lot of 5 star URLs down there, those are the ones that I just can't live without.

I am in no way affiliated with any of these websites, so if I rave about them, it's just because they're really good. Oh, and whatever you do, don't forget GameBanshee, and there'll still be people here to answer questions

If you know of good Morrowind sites that I haven't included, please post them, and I will look at them and include them in this post if I think they merit it. Thanks for reading

I'll start with elderscrolls.com, the official site, and The Imperial Library.

I'm stickying this thread. Good idea, chu.

I would ask that everybody remember this is a thread for links to useful Oblivion sites. It is not for asking questions. Use regular threads, for that. All questions and answers will be mutilated, eviscerated, defenestrated, and then obliterated by yours truly.

Has a TON of information on it, loved the site when I first saw it.

I recommend it and they have additional links available.

Fable mentioned this one on another thread and I think it looks good here. This link will take your alchemy worries away.

For people that don't have the 'good' graphics for the game, but know they have a semi decent one, this should help. It loweres the graphics step by step with you to make the game run faster.

Here is a link to IGN, all around information about gameplay. If you're stuck somewhere, this will probably help you out;

The site is not finished, as is understandable.

Here's an excellent performance tuning guide by Atomizer, the guy who created the mod enabling below spec machines to run Oblivion. Highly recommended read: deals with improving visuals (substantial increases) and performance tweaks, with a mod section coming up soon.

Find it here.

Update: He's now released part 3: Modblivion. Worth a read to get started in the very fast moving mod scene

A very good site, that has so far enabled a lot of people with old cards to actually run the game (solves issues like everything being white):

www.oldblivion.com

And to make it easies the builds are in the downloads section, the .ini files are found here.

Considering some people have had difficulties installing the Horse Armor mod, and these appeared on the 32-bit system (not the 64-bit one where so far they cannot work), in form of either giving an error like there was an attempt to install them on the 64-bit system (even though it is a 32 one), or freezing the installation, I'll post a summery of what was found as solutions to these problems:

If indeed you have a 32 bit system try one of these to fix the issues:

1-In Windows XP if you don't want to (or know how to) boot into safe-mode but need to be Administrator to run a program, "Right-Click" on the .exe "Oblivion_Horse_Armor_Pack.exe" then select "Run as..."
2-Instead of selecting "Current user (COMPUTERNAME\UserName) choose "The following user:" and select "Administrator" from the drop-down list of users.
3-You will need to know the Administrator's password for the computer, however most computers purchased from a store will have a blank password (unless you changed it yourself)

OR:

1-Reboot in safe mode with networking.
2-Log in administrator account.
3-Install the package.

OR:

1-Hit Start, Run, type msconfig.
2-Select Boot.INI tab and select safeboot and check networking. Hit ok and reboot.
3-Login under Administrator account and hit ok. Then run the installer, finish install and go back into msconfig and unselect safeboot.
4-Reboot

I've seen this site quoted frequently and I think it belongs here.

I don't know about these so called easter eggs but for quest help and general tips I would go to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion(it's still a work in progress).
