Morrowind from the Socucius House - Census Office

If you are planning to be a theif in Morrowind, now is the time to start your career. There is even a lockpick on the table next to the candlestick to unlock the chest on the bottom of the bookshelf. Warning: Not every theivery will be this easy ... this is a gimmee, a big gimmee but worth over 400 gold.

At this point, either continue on if you are enjoying your character, or start a new game to discover other classes, races and venues of play.

Resting is an important action to take, especially when your fatigue bar changes from green to black. If you are entering an enemy area, rest before you start to engage. In town though, don't worry about your fatigue bar.

Immediately when leaving the census office, find a wood elf named Fargoth and give him the ring from the barrel found earlier in the census office. This will get you better prices in the census office here at Seyda Neen (a squat town along the southern coast).

Sell the booty acquired in the census office and purchase the best equipment you can afford, even if it is just one weapon. Spells are available but pricey in Seyda Neen.

Speak with all NPC's (non player characters) as they may have tips on certain side quests.

The main quest begins after you to talk to a main NPC in Balmora (south western estuary trade city. Be certain to Save at this point.

Either play out as this character or change up and try it as a different one to get used to the game play at Morrowind.

Choosing your birth sign is going to be important if you are choosing to be a theif or a mage, but it is self explanatory.

Running increases your athletic skill.

Jumping increases acrobatic skill. Caution: Don't jump too high as you can get hurt or possibly die :)

Sneaking increases that skill.

Fighting in your armor will increases that type of armor skill ( light, medium, or heavy).

Using any type of spell will increase that type of spell proficiency.

The hardest skills to level up are mercantile and speech craft. I suggest you visit a trainer located at various sites around Morrowind. Spend some money and remember that certain trainers can only level your skill up to a certain point. No trainer can level up a skill higher than its governing attribute.

To find out which attribute governs which skill, highlight the skill that you want and press the info button.

Books also level your skills up as you read them. Caution: Be careful not to hit the action (A) button twice because you will end up stealing the book instead of reading it and get in trouble :)

Stealing is an option of play that is extremely difficult to pull off unless you are a thief and have the right spells.

Be sure if you are going to attack someone in town that you allow them to attack you first. Just pull out your weapon, then they will attack, it is now not a crime against you :)

After you go to Balmora, go and join the Mages Guild. This will give you a fast travel point to key towns :) You can also get the "Mark" and "recall" spells much easier this way, it will cut your travel time immensely.

Silt Striders and boats are also fast travel for a fee.
