In Chinese is pronounced as zhang . Doesn ' t mean anything on it ' s own though <| sep |> No buttered turkey tits . This is literally the worst thanksgiving ever <| sep |> I ' ve recently gotten into Morrowind after having it in my backlog for two years . I ' m still new to the game , but I ' m at the point where I ' m comfortable with it now . There are three things I ' d like to address , to make Morrowind more welcoming to new players , like myself . 1 . Installation . I tried MGSO . It didn ' t sway my desire to play the game in either direction . I ' d recommend it for a second playthrough , but it ' s not necessary for the first . It will make your game slower and maybe more unstable . I tried all the unofficial patches without MGSO because MGSO includes these after that . This was fine , but it was annoying to install everything piece by piece . I settled on OpenMW . It ' s great . It ' s a simple install and it makes the game super stable . I think it ' s definitely the way to go . 2 . JournalInterface . Familiarize yourself with the journal ASAP so you don ' t get confused ten hours into the game . It has a table of contents . Use it . Also , doubleclicking on the local map allows you to add notes , which can help you keep track of things you ' ve done or things that you want to come back to later . 3 . Combat . The infamous combat . At first , like many new players , I was frustrated with how the combat worked . This was because I didn ' t plan my character very well . I ' ve found that planning your character will help immensely . Choose a race and birthsign that complements the skills you ' ll be using . This makes it so that you ' ll be stronger at the beginning . For example , I ' m currently in my first real playthrough , and I picked a Redguard as my starting class . Among other things , Redguards have a huge bonus to the Long Blade skill and the Endurance health , fatigue attribute . So , this makes them very useful for a typical melee RPG player character . What ' s more is the birthsign you choose . I chose The Lady . This gives a huge increase to Endurance yet again , as well as a huge increase to Personality better trading prices and communication with NPCs . Finally , I chose Long Blade as one of my major skills , and it ' s the type of weapon I use most often . So basically , I picked a race that had bonuses that catered to the playstyle I wanted . Then , I picked the skills for that playstyle , as well as a birthsign that enhances that playstyle even more . So right out of the tutorial zone , I have a lot of points in Long Blade and Endurance . This allows me to hit a lot more accurately . Even as a new player , I ' m having a smooth experience through the game , without even adjusting the difficulty . If I had instead chosen a Breton , for example low Endurance , no melee skill bonuses , and a birthsign such as The Mage doesn ' t boost my Endurance like The Lady , but kept my skills the same , I would have a much harder time hitting things starting out .
