Description
I love it how my character has been a free mer for less than five minutes and the first thing I do is attempt to steal a cup in front of its owner (granted I was only testing the controls, but oh well, crime is a crime) - and then after a slap on the wrist I walk around the corner and loot everything that isn't nailed down. Lesson well learned.
At this point I should probably clarify that even though he's a Nightblade, Varril is not mainly a thief character. While Bron would twist himself into a pretzel if it helped him to steal something, Varril is more of a thief of opportunity. So if there's some good stuff lying around and no one is lurking nearby, chances are that stuff is going to end up in his inventory, but he probably wouldn't feel compulsive need to go through everyone's pockets (unlike some Imperials I could think of *cough cough*). To be completely honest, I do this same thing with every character no matter what his/her alignment - rogue or knight, I will always turn them into vacuum cleaners at this point and suck in everything worth a coin. That extra gold really comes in handy in the beginning of the game.

It's right up there with slowly turning a bandit into a porcupine one arrow at a time, and waiting between shots until you're hidden.Β "Must have been my imagination." Yeah.Β Just like that ballistic acupuncture.

I always do this to score extra gold right away. Good thing Morrowind shops aren't as picky about purchasing stolen items, unless they come from that particular store in question.

Is a crime when you begin Morrowind whitout clear the stuff on this room
Good Work, thx for this funny moment !

Hee hee! LOL. This is pretty funny. Iβm not sure if I raided much of this room, but I nicked off with plenty of other stuff in the game. Once you get better though, you tend to get a bit more picky about the stuff you steal. Oh I don't want plates and bottles any more. I want weapons and armour! Gems and expensive ingredients.

This makes me want to play morrowind right now, witch i can do because i have the game! But it crashes on me sometimes and its annoying, Isriana what do you think of the ability to wear steel armour on one arm and have the other arm unarmored? And they say skyrim is the best medieval RPG in the world, They are SO wrong.

Oh my gosh!!! I do this EVERY TIME! It's become a tradition
I take everything in that room, and then move down to the room down the hall and take everything out of the sacks and take the buckets

You know, when i was playing in skyrim,i needed some ingredients for my potions
i sneaked and stole some that was on display in a store
fast forward few days later,i was lacking some gold and apparently the owner sent some hired thugs to 'teach me a lesson',and she DID pay the 3 thugs 130+ gold per person...
Its kinda ironic that the 'lesson' she tried to teach only made me want for more thugs
And thus more stealing

don't worry, I'm pretty sure we all did this ^^

who doesnt do it?

Haha This was me the first time I started; it was the first time I've experienced a game like this.

I allways HATED that you didn't knew if you could just take the items or if it ended up stealing (some town lets you take things from crates and others don't)

Morrowind, where taking everything that's not nailed down is not a choice, it's an imperative. How else are you gunna afford any armour or weapons at the prices these merchants charge?
π: 0 β©: 0
That is exactly what I did at that part. Stole everything right off those shelves.
Then I died almost immediately after walking out the door, and had to do it over again.

How? i mean Seyda Neen is a safe haven and there are no enemys, did you resist arrest after you talked to the second guard or something?

It was my very first time playing any Elder Scrolls game. I went into that trader shop wanting to buy a weapon. I had no idea how the barter system worked, and just picked up a staff off the table. I was immediately attacked and killed. I was sitting there, staring at my computer shocked, confused, and a little embarrassed. Had to restart the entire game because I had not saved. I can laugh about it now.

Yeah, the lesson you learn in TES "you may look but you cant touch" in morrowind you steal a bowl its death. Atleast in cyrodiil you get arrested.

Exactly. Needless to say, I was way more careful after my first theft.

Its funny, me and a friend at school kinda argue over the lunch table about skyrim being the best medieval RPG because of its customization and realism, all i have to say to that is in morrowind you can wear nothing but greavs, boots, and armor over one arm. In oblivion you can customize your dude, or dudette's face to your hearts content. Skyrim has NEITHER of those customization abilities. so who wins? A: Skyrim or B: Morrowind and Oblivion?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm. Which would be the best medieval rpg? That is a good question. Well, Morrowind does lack the customization option for the character's face. You pick from what they give you. However in Morrowind, you are more free to dress the way you want. Skyrim's armor covers the entire body, chest, arms and legs. Morrowind lets you have those options individually with the addition of shoulder armor if I remember right.
But Oblivion and Skyrim had the NPCs talk to you when they answered your questions, which really helps build the immersive realism. And Morrowind doesn't have fast travel, which means you can't just skip the travel time, and that definitely adds to the realism in my opinion. Another thing is the feeling of the setting. In my opinion, Oblivion's atmosphere and setting feels more medieval to me. The architecture of Cyrodiil has that right look to it. Morrowind feels more fantasy like, and I never got a medieval feel from Skyrim at all. I guess it's hard to really judge since all three games have their own good points. It really comes down to personal opinion. I would have to say Oblivion just barely feels more medieval than the other two. Sorry for the long text.Β

In the Morrowind guide, in the beginning they remark on how this was actually intended for you to take it all, lol. Of course I guess that was kind of obvious considering you get tutorial tips on the potion, dagger, and lock pick.

Yep, standard reaction in about every game I can collect stuff.
"Maybe that's worth something, better take it to be sure!"

I love how the Elder Scrolls games basically make you become a horder XD
π: 0 β©: 0
I do exactly the same thing! xD First action in Morrowind - "acquire" things to sell for some armor later! You show Morrowind situations awesomely ^^

Let's randomly release prisoners from the dungeons and turn our backs on them. What could possibly go wrong? I absolutely love how he had that bubbly smile on his face the entire time. I bet he and Bron would like each other.

Kleptomania in morrowind

I've just gotta say, I hated morrowinds lockpicking, in oblivion and Skyrim if your good enough you can pick a lock at any level or skill but in Morrowind...

I love this!!! Β Take everything! Β Walk slowly to the first merchant, it's not far!!! Dang, I really miss not needing fence to sell stolen goods. Β (And being a total klepto) Β All you had to do was make sure of was to not sell stolen goods back to the same merchant you just stole from. Β Instead sell them the funny yellow hat. Β They always put it on and look stupid.Β Β

Anyone who claims they haven't done this--no matter how pure their character--is lying.

I officially know one person, whose character didn`t do that.
