Stupid things you've done in Morrowind...

[Kyrvias]

We all have done something so thickheaded, so stupid, that it scerwed up our game. badly. I posted this topic so those of us who did stupid thins wouldn't feel so alone in the world. This is my contribution:

One time I was Roleplaying my Cleric, who was level 1 at the time, and was wandering around the Ascadian Isles. I was walking up on a hill when I noticed that it wasn't a hill at all, but a door to a crypt!

And so I entered, only to be immediately confronted by 3, count 'em, 3, Vampires. I fought on with my Mace, only to be battered and bloody, with the Vampires still very much alive. And so I ran. I had not saved previous to this, so running was my only choice.

I made my first stupid decision. I ran farther Into the crypt, instead of going out.

The Hallways seemed endless. I didn't hear anything, so I turned around, looking for any sight of my attackers.

I didn't see them.

And so I went deeper, hoping to ifnd a shrine were I could rest and heal up. I finally found one, and turned to close the door. Lo and behold, teh vampires were closing in fast.

That was when I made stupid decision Numero 2. I used my recently acquired ring of locking on the door. Stopped them readily enough, but I had no lockpicking skills, and no open spells. I was stuck. Forever entombed, and very much alive.

Too bad for my cleric, he would have done well in the game.

Hahahaha, that's fantastic. I'm sorry, but it really is.

Well, can't think of a whole lot but I got an example. As made in a previous post, I have a looting problem. I found a smithy shop and found some items I liked. I saved beforehand and began to grab stuff in sight while the smith wasn't paying attention. Eventually got caught and he went to attack me as well did his guard. Well. I went to go reload and accidently pressed the save button. Kind of a crummy perdicament. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Accidentally slaughtering all of Vivec.

Accidently slaughtering All of Vivec? How the hell did that happen?

[CerebroDragon]

When gaming on 'autopilot', all kinds of bedlam mannered madness is possible. I guess for some people, wiping out an entire population in a terminator automaton style, is just one of those possibilities.

Funny little anecdote Kyrvias. Stay awhile, stay forever eh?

For me, one rather silly roleplaying decision I made was to merge my real life attachment to caffeine intense energy drinks like V and Redbull, into my Khajiit Monk, expressed in his fierce addiction to Skooma and Moon Sugar. I was gutted to learn that you couldn't make it in the game.
I'd steal it as often as I could and hoard it back to my storage space in Ahnassi's place in Pelgiad.
This perilous merging resulted in some extremely late nights, going to bed ocassionally at dawn etc.

Situation wise, I can't think of anything overly stupid at the moment other than the usual bouts of non-thought out tactics when outnumbered.
In my early level phase, I experimented with the khajiit unarmed attacks, often charging in gung-ho jumping up down thinking I was so cat like and dextrous) slashing all over the place. Didn't take too many deaths before I realised that wasn't the right idea.
Learing to refine tactics in the game was always good fun, often with lessons well learnt.

Taking on people Hand-tohand with your Khajiit? Smae thing I did with my argonian... wasn't pretty.

Well, once when I was captured, I vowed never to let the Dark Elves treat me so. As such, When caught assisting a brother in need, I had no option but to defend myself. One thing lead to another, and well, you know...

[Kyrvias]

I see... Train of carnage, eh?

A really stupid thing I did was when I was playing my Thief character...

I had my Dark Brotherhood armor, a Bonemold Longbow with Steel arrows, and an steel longsword.

I ran into the daedric ruin, 6 Scamps on my heels. Since I didn't have a magical weapon, I was pretty much screwed. That wsa stupid decision numero uno.

My second mistake was running into the shrine while escaping hte scamps. I survived the whole shrine, backstabbing, then using my Amulet of Shadows to become invisible, then backstabbing again. Soon enough the defenders of the shrine fell.

Stupid decision #3 I didn't heal up when I finished with the battle. And so I crept to hte shrine, and noticed a few ruby's and emeralds lying, waiting to be stolen.

I figured, meh, who would need them.

Stupid decision #4. I took them and got attacked my a Dremora Lord.

And I ran. It was the only decision I found would work. I ran outside.

And got killed by the 6 scamps that were pursuing me.

Single-handedly taking down about 60 to 80% of the world's population - or at least, all of the major cities. *shrugs* I got bored and I wanted to see how long it would take them to take me down...
