Okay, I purchased a retail boxed version of my new Asus V9280/TD Ti4200 8X 128 MB video card and lo and behold they included a copy of Morrowind. Now I have read some things about the game but I never paid that much attention to it. On top of it all my copy of the game is OEM meaning no Game Manual. Thus, at this point, I can't even get a feel for this game. So here are a few questions:

1. What secondary source manuals are out there that you would suggest I purchase?

2. I have played BG1&2, IWD & Heart of Winter, and Divine Divinity; plus, a number of other genras like Thief 1&2. So, in your opinion, how hard will be for me to learn the curve of this game? Will any of my RPG experience help or is the learning curve unlike anything I have experienced?

3. Besides here at IW, what other forums would be helpful?

4. Without spoiling too much, what are the best tips and tricks you can offer?

5. How many patches do I need and where can I find them?

6. Besides the above vid card, is my system powerful enough: P3 1.2 Ghz with 256 cache, 512 Megs of 133 DIMM RAM, Sound Blaster X-Gamer sound card, Windows 98SE.

Thanks.
