Played Morrowind for about an hour this afternoon, though I haven't left the first town yet. Some of these characters (like the one you meet at the very beginning) sound like they were trying to imitate Christian Bale Batman before Christian Bale Batman was a thing.
I completed my first quest; I lurked on top of the lighthouse at night and watched as Fargoth hid his money, then raided his stash and went back to the soldier. Got to keep a third of the gold, and also got the ring back while still boosting my reputation with the local trader. Cool. I don't have enough money to train or anything though. There's a giant insect lift offered, but I think I might make the trip to my next destination by foot if that's not a terrible idea.
