Garran: IIRC, the usual solution to the Boots is to ensure that you have Resist Magic from some source (even a short-duration spell will work) while putting them on.
Yep! Really you only need 20-30% resistance to be able to see, so you can make a cheap 2-second spell/enchant if you aren't an Orc or Breton. If you're a real cheapskate you can just stay blind and use the minimap, but that's only really useful for road travel to places you've already been, not for exploring.

i did the 100% resist magicka route, but everything is still darker than it should be, outside during the day its not real issue, but indoors some places are hard to navigate and see whats in the room.
is there a solution to this one besides upping the gamma in the options (hopefully an option)

nightvision only helped for the few second window as well.

additionally my sword rarely connects when striking. possibly low skill level 30 something for long sword/arms (with a long sword equipped).

im still a low level so hopefully its not an added bonus of those boots ^_^

ErekoseDM: snip
Yeah. Basically, every time you attack (and connect a blow onscreen) there's a separate attack roll to see if you actually REALLY hit them. You need around 60 skill to be able to hit everyone consistently, though there are a few endgame enemies that will avoid blows even at 100 skill. The Fortify Attack and Sanctuary spells modify this roll positively and negatively, respectively, and Luck affects it as well. Picking the Warrior birthsign can make the early game a LOT easier for warrior-type characters because of the Fortify Attack bonus, since you'll be hitting everyone more often.

30 more levels to hit something ^_^
i better save up some gold.

ive been dumping skill points into str, speed, and whatever else has the 5x multiplier on level up but i was thinking about funneling a point a round to luck for at least a +10 over the next 15 level ups. im @ 50 luck so far.

any tips to increase vision?

i did some searches about soul stones to figure out how to actually use them in this game and 'the best' soul stone plus a dead summon (probably expensive) or some other high level enemy, would allow a constant use while equiped effect, should i try to get a nightvision belt or ring or something (eventually)?

You might wanna consider raising endurance, which in turn increases your maximum health. Luck, if I remember correctly, is also useful for spellcasters, since it affects the chances of, well, casting spells.

Actually, nighteye is a great way to improve your vision.


Edit:

You don't have to fuss about the stats of your character if you don't want to. The way the difficulty curve is set up, the game is challenging early on and then gets continuously easier. You'll be able to overcome any challenge when you've leveled up enough.

This. Just enjoy the game. Even if it takes longer to get super-powerful without planning, you'll get there, and at least you don't have to worry about stats in the meantime.

It is kind of fun to plan out a character who can reach 10 or 100 in everything though.

ive been city hoping trying to fill out the overworld map so when a quest shows up i have a clue of which direction to attempt to travel.

ive done barely any leveling and am being overly paranoid about having an underwhelming character later on down the line that i wouldnt be able to recover from. so ill follow your advice.

after snagging those boots and boosting up my walking speed the enjoyability of the game went up immensely.

If you don't have athletics as a minor or major skill, feel free to use do player->setathletics 100. It is a cheat, but at the very least you won't be stuck with a single item until the end of the game (athletics will get trained by themselves over time, but it's annoying and leads to the very same goal.) Of course, if you hate cheats... To each his own and all that, I enjoy the game way more when my character moves at actual speed of brisk walk as opposed to bleeding snail.

its hard to not try and take advantage of the 5x multiplier >_<
but i dont have any real 'plan' its more like damage control at this point.

i think i avoided athletics as a major / minor to not level up quickly and be crippled in stats further on down the line, with level ups far and few between.
if thats the run/jump category skill that pops up frequently.

i want to avoid console commands if i can unless the mods i use do it or something.
the only one i was thinking about possibly using is the console command to join in one of the 3 vampire bloodlines in case that vampire mannequin that left me with the fly ability after curing me messed up that section of the game.
ill figure that part out once i ever encounter a naturally occurring vampire within morrowind. should be far off in the future im suspecting.

Well, your aim might not be as bad as you think. If things are still darker than they should, that means you're still affected by the blinding effect of the boots, which means you're still also affected by the accuracy penalty that goes with it. Even if fighting with a weapon skill under 40 is pretty tough, removing the boots while in combat should give you a good fighting chance. Add a bound sword to the mix and you'll be slashing your way through opponents like a red hot knife through butter.

Also, about those vampires... that far off future might be much sooner than you expect, with a little "luck". :P

Have you bought a Guide to Vvardenfell (in game)? It's quite handy if you don't know where a town is, as it details the major towns and most of the villages as well. Handy for first time players trying to find out where everything is.

ive been raising levels to get that weapon skill up to at least 40. ill do some testing with and without the boots, i need to up my str again this round.
ive been adding to luck as well regularly so hopefully this improves.
though wearing the boots and casting night eye (colors back to 'normal') didnt increase my hit ratio while the buff was active, but the negative % on strike might still have been knocking about even if it seemed like it should be normal.

i got bound bow earlier, but neglected to purchase any arrows apparently. i figured if the bow was popping up outta nowhere some basic arrows should appear with it. ^_^
ill keep my eyes peeled for Bound Sword if its better than many swords, at least i wont need to repair it.

i ran into some NPC yammering on about Frostmarch, and the transport in Krull or something like that to get there. is that vampire island?
(i did encounter the ship NPC in that city, but his dialogue seemed to indicate he takes people there but none ever return. i figured it was plague town or something, i didnt want the 1 way trip to a werewolf lifestyle)

didnt know they had this guide (Guide to Vvardenfell) in game, ill snag one if i see one.
this would help greatly, i think i put a decent dent into some of the basic cities though. i got some on most of the main outer edges so i have some reference points if i need to work inwards.

thanks for the gaming tips guys!
