Well as much as i loved preparing those pies, bread, rat ribs and such in Arx Fatalis it was really annoying when character was always hungry. Yah morrowind really misses that. especially since there are hours there and you could at least eat every 12 hours. while travel services offer onboard food anyway.

i think there might be a survivor mod.

Oh yeah they never start to fight between eachother (like in Doom). Just a few days ago i pissed off a sleeper in Balmora. Which was kind of odd cause one i managed to make very good friends with ). anyway this guy started shooting arrows at me. so i decided to hide behind two hlalu guards. and i think one actually released some "ugh!" sound, but otherwise no one minded that there is some guy at the bridge shooting at those guards. " ah never mind him... he's just a local joker!"

anyway i went towards the mage guild and he followed me, so i knocked him out with a fist. i hope i can join the clans & defeat Dagoth to release them soon. i really dont' want to kill innocent NPC. but if they piss me off... they will feel my wrath!!!!!

Well, the other day a pack of wolver followed me into Forth Frosthmoth and all the guards over there happily joined me in the task of killing them, so it must depend on the kind of creature.

Anyway, some siple patterns for the NPCs would have been nice, such as sleeping at nigth or some kind of work. You can see that kind of stuff in the Gothic series and it makes the worl quite more realistic.

All stats go all the way to 100.
Major-minor only grants a bonus to the starting values (15 for major, 5 for minor, iirc), and they're the only skills that let you level. Finally, skill books don't raise skills beyond 100.

The worship in those ruined Daedric shrines is illegal (they're dedicated to the four corners), and those worshippers are actively persecuted and are considered outlaws.
Not to mention many of those worshipping the Daedra there being an unpleasant lot is not entirely temple propaganda.

Most people in the old Dunmer forts are bandits or engaged in other illegal activities.

Guards attack wild monsters on sight, but don't go after NPC's.

The bland AI in Morrowind was one of the biggest points of critique for the game. That's why RAI was implemented and hyped so massively in Oblivion.

Also, just look around, there are plenty of survival mods ranging all the way to the need to sleep.

[gregor]

yah some are deifned as creature and other is NPC.

mods can do the worn-no work- work in shops. but i dont' think it makes characters go to bed and sleep.

yah oblivion - they improved it a lot as i hear, but also had quite a few unexpected events when testing. like people addicted on moonsuggar killing the guy who was selling it just to get their hands on it. or entire towns slaughtered for some strange reasons well they almost ebhaved like humans.... almost....

ah yes also major skill is easier to increase then minor and i think it can also increase for more points when you activelly use it.

[Doubler]

No, all skills go to 100. Major, minor, additional... And without fortifying them, they don't go beyond.

Oblivion was a massive improvement in the AI, yes, but it's nowhere near that level. A lot of people don't like the way Beth overhyped it.
But to be honest, Oblivion has more faults, most of which dwarf the AI not being as promised.

And Morrowind is limited in it's engine. Although since a way was discovered to get animations into the game a few mods have sprung up that add a more lifelike AI, it will never reach a really satisfactory level. Although I'll admit that I've never actually tried those mods.

Are you sure the minor skills also go to 100? I think I read that they only go to 95, or was that the misc. skills? I'm pretty sure the minor skills only went to 95 in Daggerfall, and I would expect the TESs to be pretty much the same in that respect. Anyway, even if you reach max proficiency in a skill, reading the books will still allow you a raise on the char. level bar. So, if you wait reading the books until you have maxed out every skill, you can still level up.

[Doubler]

Yes, I'm sure all skills go to 100 :P
I'm not sure about books raising the level bar after reaching 100. Could be, it fits in with the following, but I never tried. I do believe (but never did it myself) you can still buy training after reaching 100 by draining your skills. They still don't go past 100, but do add points to the level bar. In theory, you could level on endlessly in that case. Again, I never tried this myself, I just read about it. I do wonder what levelling up will do in those cases, since you can't distribute your credits anymore.

Oh, and the entire skill based system was introduced in Daggerfall. Arena used a simple experience point system.

[Borodin]

All skills go to 100, and items, spells, and potions can take that over 100.

There is a Morrowind mod that forces you to sleep and eat regularly. Another causes stores and homes to be locked at night.

[gregor]

would it be great to have a couple of those fortify intelligence potions?

i mean imagine you are on some exam, you think fortify intelligence for 48sec and a fortify speed potion. then you can quickly write the exam cause you know all solutions and you are really fast in writing.

ah soon after i finish main quest i plan to do a dedicated imperial soldier trained in spear - yah a spearman. no personal alcemy, maybe some enchants he pics along the way, only crappy imperial armor... i think it should be interesting.

[Mighty Midget]

That sounds like an interesting character. Will you join the legion or do freelance? (I guess legion, since you said soldier). I was thinking about having a barbarian, sort of Conan meets Groo, Nord of course , long blade and axe, medium armour, who fear magic and refuse to have anything to do with it (potions included). I will have to think about whether he willingly fight the daedras or not. I might get that tent mod I saw.
