I’ve been playing Morrowind for about two and a half years now, and i thought that i had worked out pretty much everything about how the game worked. Apparently not, as i discovered the other day that you can shoot down some incoming spells with arrows. I wonder what other things i’ve missed.

I have also been discovering how changing the basic characteristics of the game world affect the playing experience of the game. The the official Mournhold add on introduces a different kind of space to the game. Set within a single city, and the ruins and caves beneath it, the add-on has a very different feel that the original game. It is much more claustrophobic for a start, with much of the action taking place in underground tunnels, rather than the open, sprawling areas of Morrowind. It is also quite a bit harder, whereas my current character is virtually invincible in the world of Morrowind, He has struggled in Mournhold against more the advanced and well equiped adversaries that reside there.
