Which is heaps worth it for the speed at which you can then loot. The advantages of having superior weapons is heaps worth it. Although I am trying to do as much mining and "hunting" as possible so as I limit how much I spend on ingredients.
Got the game for 80 bucks (1.6$). Gonna install this beast now. The next few weeks are going to be fun.
Also listen to NPCs, I was running around and they kept mentioning how I looked sick which was rather annoying and I thought it was just generic talk or whatevs, turns out I had a disease and had to go get blessed at a shrine.
Is it easier to stay on track with the main storyline? I found that was the biggest difference between Morrowind and Oblivion. I'd try and do the main quest then I'd get sidetracked with side quests and Daedra shrines etc. After I while I got bored and never played it again. However I finished everything in Morrowind. Even got the Daedric shoulders off that guy on the east coast who you can kill AFTER you have used him for the main story.
I take back what I said about dual wielding swords. It's awesome with the right perks. Dual Savagery is the shit!
At "Lost Valley Redoubt", I found the strongest enemy in the game I believe. I reckon he could take on pretty much everyone else at the same time and win. Fast as fuck and hurts like a bitch. On the plus side, it levels up heavy/light armour + block INSANELY quickly, provided you turn the difficulty down to survive. <.<
