I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision. Thanks in advance guys.
I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi? I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.
Anyway, I have never approached the subject with her. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night something odd happened. She had come over to play WoW and had forgotten to sign off of AIM after she left. It was whilst I was going through her buddy list that I noticed my mage had just been two-shotted by a rogue.
Should I stick with my mage or should I play a class with more survivability?
*sent to me by email, orginally from the wow forums |

| No one that lies that much is any good for a relationship. ditch her. do it hard too, it's my personal belief that until people who cheat on their partners feel deeply guilty and filled with self-pity at their actions, they won't learn to be reliable mates. |

About the whole drop the girl that gets in the way of guild runs...
I am married to a very wonderful woman. When we were still enganged I learned the wonders of Elder scrolls 3: Morrowind. All the work involved in that game would but into the time I got with my woman. She hated it and got so jealous. I told her that she was just going to have to accept that I play video games. I ended up telling her this every night. The first night I told her I didn't see any change. The second night I still didn't see anything. On the third night the swelling went down and I could see a little out of my left eye.
Long story short litterally played Morrowind up until the very hour that my twins were born. |

I have so many characters.. where should I start:
Grom hell scream - Orc Berserker. Level 50 i think. Health near to 400. Axe, Blunt Weapon, Medium armor, and Acrobatics are all maxed out. I have 100 str, 100 agl, 100 end, and my other stats are raising slowly by 1 at a time.
I've killed Vivic with my bare hands, ok with my Daedric soul traping mace that does 100 damage to health (no immunities)
I also have several rings that damage 100-100 health on target with outrages charges. (costs 15 and has 500 charge)
Just for fun I picked up a spear even though it is not a minor or major skill.
I killed Umbra with a non enchanted mace at level 35.
I also have a warrior that has I spent countless hours collecting the best heavy armor.. with a maxed out heavy armor skill my helmet is +30personality forever with an armor class of 250. My chestplate is closer to 300 armor. My shield heals 100 health on self and has an armor closer to 200. I maxed out str and endurance at level 20 with this specific character.
I have a custom ninja type class in the morang tong. He has killed the head of every single house, guild, and clan save the Ash landers and the House Hlaalu.
I have a cleric style character who is master of the fighters guild, however in order to get that title I was required to kill everyone who has the ability to take away a price on my head. I have a death warrant so the game is currently unbeatable as that character
I had, but deleted out of fairness, a custom class lizard man. He specializes in Acrobatics, athletics,spear, and enchantment with the sign that adds 25 endurance. By level 15 I had over 200 health. I also had enchanted several rings with 1-50 damage on target at high charges without fail at an enchantment level of 20. I had defeated several deatric ruins, including the resident deadric gods, before level 20... once again i deleted this character out of fairness.
I could tell you soo much about that game but the beauty of it was that you can never know or experience everything. Honestly I had never experimented with wizards because the Alchemy and Enchant skills were so unbalanced and powerful that there was never any need. Like I said I had an Orc Warrior that had 100-100 dmg rings |

that's fucking impressive. orcs are great for heavy armor and melee. how the hell did you get all of those ridiculous enchanted items. are they constant effect?
my guy's pretty badass. he's light armor. i have the hide of the savior curiass, which is light armor, armor class 195 and constant effect 60% dispel magic. the rest is unenchanted glass armor. then there's the necromancer's amulet, which has constant effect resist normal weapons 25%, absorb spell 25 points, restore health 1 point per second, and fortify intellegence 25 points, all constant effect. then i have the ring of the wind, which is constant effect forfify agility 30 points. then some self made enchanted clothings. a robe that has constant effect restore health 2 points per second, a ring that has constant effect fortify strength 24 points, a shirt fortifies intelligence 12 points, constant effect, pants that fortify strength 12 points, constant effect, and a belt that does constant effect fortify longblade 5 points. for weapons i do longblade. i got a daedric claymore, a daedric katana, and a glass sword that does soultrap for 60 seconds when it hits. my longblade is 105.
but my strength is summoning. i can summon golden saint, winged twilight, daedroth, fire atronach, storm atronach, frost atronach, clannfear, hunger, dremora, scamp, skeleton, bonewalker, greater bonewalker, bone lord, and ancestoral ghost. in addition to all of these spells, most of which cast with 100% chance, i have many scrolls that summon all of these individually. so i mean, i pretty much one hit kill everything except ascended sleepers, but even if i were to be faced with say, a small army of anything, i'd still be fine.
without healing (or saving), i killed balmora and sedya neen. the towns. everyone in balmora, the guilds, the guards, the people, the shopkeeps. then i went to sedya neen and cleared that place out. if shit got out of hand, i'd just summon about 5 things, and win.
also, i am 75% immune to fire, and 100% immune to common disease, blight disease, and corpus. |

| oblivion looks remarkable. of course, i won't have the ability to play it for about 4 years, seeing as my computer isn't that great. unless i buy an xbox 360. and let's face it, that probably won't happen. i'll be doing morrowind for a long while yet, anyway. then in the fall, zelda may come out for cube, although they'll probably push it back to december. by the time i'm done with that, i'll see what system's done the best, wait for the price to fall, and get it. oblivion is really far on the horizon for me, one way or another. even if the xbox 360 is the best choice. |

I have played and beaten all of the Turoks except for Turok 4 for Xbox. I know I'm about 3 years in the past with this but my only regret is not having beaten turok 4. I don't even know if there's a 5 headed for xbox 360.
Well I've always been upset that /-|cclaim abandoned Nintendo to go to xbox. |

Yeah, they had pretty bad succatash too.
The reason they lost so many players was because of the radical changes in story line, the massive inclusion of polygon collision instead of bounded boxes, and massively gigantic levels with few and far between save points.
In order to have liked Turok 2, and 3 you had to not care about story lines, be very very good at Quake2 rail fights, and have way too much free time. As a child I had all of those things so therefore I loved the Turoks. Honestly they had some of the most original weapons ever and the maps were not only incredibly but graphically each game was never surpased until years later. It took until UT2k3 to get all of the features original provided in Turok 1 even. Turok 2 still has some ideas that yet to be harvested. Turok 3 was the only game to make a grapple well in single player. |

The original plot is that one in so many generations of a certain type of indians, the first born male of the fireseed family, becomes the TUROK which is some kind of intergallactic protector. The Turok can go between Earth and the Lost Land which is where Turok 1 has taken place. In turok 1 the badguy (don't really remember his name even though he was my favorite in Turok Rage wars) was some long lost alien emperor or something and you save the lost land.
Turok 2 you meet Adon who guides you to many alien worlds to stop another imprisoned alien. In 1 and 2 you are Joshua fireseed.
In Turok 3 Joshua is killed and Adon recruits his 2 nephew and neice to become a turok. Neither of which can be because Joseph is not the first born and What's her face is a girl. This time the Oblivion spawns who were a very minor subplot in turok 2 are trying to create armageddon. You fight through earth, find a portal to the wastelands of the lost land, fight through much of the first level of turok 1, then you eventually make your way into some sort of oblivion temple at which point you fight an end boss and then your fight Joshua who was risen from the dead or something.
The galactic counsil is throughout the game shown to be the bad guys but they end there by introducing a new character in black and not mentioning her name. Probobly Adon's evil twin. I'm pretty sure that this is where Turok 4 takes place and that's why I want to play it. I mentioned that I did not care about the plot, but I do admit that I did care about the plot once I played Turok 3, but not the other ones.
Rumor has it that if you beat Turok 3 on very hard you can see who the new character is however through a glitch with projectiles it's all but impossible to get there. The glitch is that projectiles are actually instant hits and then the shot is animated later much like the laser rifle in UT. The thing that makes the glitch so bad is that in very hard the monsters always attack before you see them and since they all have instant hit weapons it gets near impossible very fast |

i felt that the the turok games, on the whole, lacked interesting gameplay. cool guns and neat levels are good at first, but you can't base games around them. they're wonderful additions, but they don't make a game. and neither does the graphic prowess of a game matter if it just isn't fun. i like blowing shit up just as much as anyone else, but i also like plots, and a reason to blow shit up. if you just want to shoot cool guns at stuff with no real plot, then a multiplayer mode is what you need, and there's better multiplayer games out there. it's more and more a problem with fps games. all the focus is on the multiplayer, and the only real reason to play the single player is to unlock things.
the function of graphics is being misunderstood. the reason for great graphics (great graphics is not the same as realistic graphics, and no one seems to fucking get that) is for immersion. it helps you to really get into the game. perfect example: in the first 007 game, fire just expanded through walls. i don't mean it burned the wall down or spread, i mean the animation, without changing form took up a hallway and some of the ajoining room. or when you can't jump over something that's like 5 inches off the ground. when graphics, in terms of physics, are truer to life, the game is more immersive. but a game like morrowind doesn't have really great phyics, and it's still the best thing i ever played. because graphics, both visual and the behavior of in-game objects, while good to have, only compliment a game. it's one of the drawbacks of advances in technology with videogames. game makers will produce any old piece of shit as long as it looks good, because they know a lot of people will buy it. |

I have to disagree about morrowind. You mush have a really crapy video card. (Like i did when i first played it). With my 512mb King Jesus 555megafloxer the water is the most realistic thing that I've ever seen!
The other thing that I have to disagree with is your statement about how graphics don't matter. To me they don't. I still and always have been obsessed with Quake2. To the purchasing community consisting mostly of Art School kids it does. I've heard tards go so far to say that oldies suck simply because of the recording quality of the time. That attitude is wrong but as far as video games are concerened UT, Doom3, Quake4, HL2... etc are sold entirely on graphix engine. In fact these companies make their money on graphics engines by creating one, putting a shell of a game around it and then selling the engine to companies that create games. Almost every single EA game is created on top of the HL engine which actually was created off of the Quake2 engine. (I didn't beleive that at first until i read an article on it. Especially since HL1 had the worste physics in the history of the entire world but quake2 had the most realistic at the time.)
Sadly for you and me games sell simply on graphics. One thing that you said that is true is that I disregard plots and love to blow things up. That's why great leveling (the only good thing HL1 had) and original weapons are important for me. Deathmatch used to satisfy me but since CS ruined the internet as we know it ALL multiplayer games are "strategy" games that come with 3 weapons. A machinegun, a bigger machinegun, and a sniper rifle. They're even phasing out railguns (thanks to UT the other game that ruined the internet) which were an absolute staple after quake2. "Insta-gib" in any game is a direct rip off of quake2 mods. At this point in time there are very very few multi-player games that I even care to play. Especially since the tards at Raven made Quake4 so graphically enhanced that 100ms of lag can freeze a player. (Not only that quake4 and q3 arena have the same weapons, same levels, and same graphics/sounds/models)
Therefore your statementa bout find a multiplayer game is false. I've always just moded games to entertain myself and then make multi-player mods with new weapons and new levels. This is now impossible with such impersonal built in server browsers. All you see is DM or CTF you never see mod or map name. So once again Half Life's "innovation's" has ruined my Multi-player experience.
Right now I'm forced to attempt to create a MMORPG out of Ultima 8 because HL and UT and especially CS has ruined my life and given 13 year old morons words like "w00t" and "pwned." I've never had thoughts of stabbing a 13 year old in the chest and twisting the knife hard until I heard those words. |

i'd have to agree with your sentiments about online multiplayers. they mostly suck. because of application, because of users, whatever. what i meant by multiplayer is for console games. you have to understand something when i talk videogames. i play console games, solely. except for morrowind. my graphics card does suck, but i don't care because game is still fantastic. i'd like it even more with better graphics, but uh, i don't have a lot of money for the king jesus grafucks800. so when i say "multiplayer" i mean you and 1-4 friends sitting in your living room. or over the internet through a console. or, just a multiplayer scenario with bots. i think you misunderstood what i said about graphics making a game. yes, it is true that games are being made and sold with only graphics in mind. yes, it's true that idiots think that the good graphics make the game good. but no, good graphics do not make a good game. there is no way disagree and still be within reason. if a game looks great, but plays like dogshit, then it's a bad game. if it's not fun, what's the fucking point? videogames are toys. just expensive toys. they're art, too, but they're supposed to be fun. so every time i see the newest world war 2 fps with ridiculously good graphics, i know it's probably crap, because i've played a lot of them and they just repackage the same thing with slightly better looks. and it's fucking boring. ditto most racing games. a lot of rpgs have the same problem.
bottom line, graphics don't make a game good. just because shitty games that look great are being sold in high numbers doesn't mean the games are good. it just means people are playing shitty games. |

| perfect example: when zelda: the windwaker came out, a lot of people didn't play it because it looked like "a kid's game." they missed out on a fantastic game. if you like adventure games and boat/talking lion things, the windwaker was probably one of the best to come out for you that year. but people were pissed because it was cel-shaded. what's the matter? don't these people think it's cool to play games that have color? well too bad. you play videogames. the cool ship has already sailed. you want to know how cool your games are? ask your girlfriend how cool. the graphics were beautiful. the faces were very expressive, the motion of the enviornments were flawless, and the character movements were smooth. the graphics were great. but because it looked cartoony, people didn't want to play it. in my opinion, these people shouldn't even be playing games. because they're not looking for fun. they're looking to see who'll win some imaginary, technological pissing contest. wind waker was a better game than pretty much any of the "real looking" "cool" games that came out then. so if you don't like those types of games? fine. just compare this way: how much did that shiny new fps that came out at the same time entertain you? how long did it entertain you? how much fun did you have playing it? take those impressions against what people who played and loved zelda felt, as far as entertainment and fun are concern. let alone how much it drew you in. it's no contest. wind waker, the cartoony, "kid's game" kicks its ass. by the way, that "kid's game" had a close up of a sword being jammed into someone's forehead. |

Are you arguing with me, because it sounds like you're completely agreeing. And yes N64 deathmatch with smash bros., or golden eye, or the quakes on N64 was awesome. Sarges Heros on N64 got ALOT of flak for being a bad game, but it's one if not the most original deathmatches I've ever played. You can kill the army men by knocking them onto the stove.. MWUHAHAHA
I gave up on consoles after N64 because they never released another 7th saga that i heard rumors about and they stopped production of Quake3 for n64 completely. I'm sure I'd enjoy Doom3 deathmatch or Quake4 deathmatch on the xbox, but I prefer the ability to mod games on the computer. I can make my own deathmatch maps or single player maps if i want. If i get really board I make a weapons mod for single player.
One deathmatch that can't be beat is Rock N Roll racing for SNES. I know that there's SpyHunter type games EVERYWHERE YOU TURN but R&R racing had everything you could ever ask for. Goemon's Great Adventure for N64 was a great 2 player coop game even though it's completely Japanified and makes no sense even if you have read the comic or beaten all of the previous mystical ninja games.
To further my previous rant... WHAT HAPPEND TO COOP GAMES!? It used to be that every single fps came with coop whether you'd use it or not. Hexen coop was like playing D&D without all the dice and pencil shavings. Quake1 coop with any of the 100 medevil style mods was unbeatable.
In closing console deathmatch with your friends sitting next to you is great especially with games like all the Duke Nukems for N64. Coop is gravely missed. Lastly graphics are a waste of time, let's burn all art schools... NOW |

| i was unaware. i'm just breaking into the elder scrolls games. i know nothing about code and modding. so if you want set up a thing wherein your orc and my dunmer can have it out, do it. i think it'd be great fun. we can even bet equipment and gold and shit. i have almost a full set of daedric armor and weapons. i have the claymore, tlongsword, katana, war axe, battle axe, tanto, dagger, and one other one i don't remember. i'm only missing the greaves for armor, too. and the only thing i can use is the katana, claymore and long sword. the rest of the stuff i can't use or sell. |

There's a cave called "Milk" to the west of Ald Ruhn in which a very weak character has almost a full suit of ebony armor. I beleive there's deadric greaves there as well. |

i already hit up milk, and got the ebony armor. didn't find daedric greaves, though.
it should be noted that i am now the head of the fighter's guild, mage's guild, and house telvanni. my plan is to become the head of every guild and house in morrowind. i'm almost at the top of the thieves guild, too. |

I tried that but you have to have atleast 2 of the skills associated with a guild to join. I had a player who was head of the temple and far along in the imperial cult, but wasn't alowed to joing the theives guild.
I've had a character that was 1 step away from head of the fighters guild and in house Hlalu but wasn't allowed in the temple.
One thing for certain you CANNOT have any of the great houses besides Hlaalu or the fighters guild i your in the Morang Tong. In order to beat the morang tong you have to assasinate the head of almost every guild, and this is on your 4th and 5th missions. |

i am the head of every guild, and i got that way by killing the old masters. the former fighter's guild master is dead, the former mage's guild master is dead, and the former thieves guild master is gone, i don't know where. so those missions are pretty much done already. i don't know if i can join the other 4 houses if i'm in the telvanni house. i killed some fucker in the morag tong in sadrith mora for a ring someone in house telvanni wanted. i've been able to join any guild so far. my major skills are long blade, destruction, conjuration, alchemy and mysticism. minor skills are sneak, alteration, armorer, light armor, and enchant. so unless something requires none of those, i'll be fine.
also, i got this glove that summons a flame atronach for 120 seconds, a frost atronach for 90, and a storm atronach for 60. i wear it with no other glove. so on one said i got a glass bracer and on the other side i got a glove. i feel like a black metal michael jackson. been hitting the daerdic shines pretty hard, too. the one by ald velothi has some good shit. full suit of ebony armor, daerdic darts and war axe, some enchanted rings, jewels, scrolls. it's good. |

It is possible to join all of the houses, however I was only aware of three: Hlalu, Redora, and Telvanni. I've never cared to beat any of the houses, especially since that character was the one I used for the Camona Tong (If i accedently called them the morang tong i apologize, that just gets annoying with similar names that are completely unassociated with eachother) When they required me to kill the head of Redoran it not only said that i was kicked out but it had some kind of EXPELLED PERMANANTLY or some other message. None of the members of Redoran will even talk to me, let alone sell me anything. When I found one that will talk to me because I persuaded them up to 100 by bribing them they told me that there was no possible way to get back into the guild.
As far as getting into all of the houses, my friend, the one that got me started on morrowind, had accomplished this but never told me how even after I asked him. The main quest requires you to get the blessing from all of the usurpi tribes and all of the houses. (In this quest they only require hlaalu, redoran, and telvanni so that's why i thought there were only 3) In this quest you can get the blessing simply from all of the redoran memebers by completeing normal quests you would if you joined. For the Hlaalu they simply give you their blessings except you do have the option of killing the one at the plantation and one other I can't remember just for the fun of it. There's nothing that tells you you can, nobody suggests it, but if you kill them you get their blessing by default.
As far as telvanni is concerened I just killed all the mages. The only one that it won't let you is the Feminazi down in tel brennora (pretty sure on that one, she's the one in the south east who's gone insane and is trying to kill off the twin lamps) One of the telvanni's that you HAVE to kill is in the north east next to Pel living in a floating island above a very impressive castle that was taken over by those mushroom things. All the other wizards are afraid of him, but he's by far the weakest. So long as you can survive the assualt of a frost antroch you can bludgeon him to death in about 3 or 4 hits. 3-4 as long as you're a level 20+ orc berserker with an ebony mace that causes 40-40 dmg to health on strike that is. |

i don't know much about the main quest. right now i'm trying to find the cave of the incarnate.
there are five houses, but i think only three come into play, the ones you listed. i didn't have to do much killing in telvanni. i had to put down a slave riot, so i killed about 7 of them. (normally i set them free. 11 slaver caves liberated. i do twin lamp things, too.) then i had to kill the head of the house, and some guy who just wouldn't approve me. everyone else just sort of went along. i've never heard of this floating island mage, and i didn't kill him to get to be archmagister. and i one hit kill all atronachs, so it wouldn't be a problem anyway. i haven't started the other house, but i've done bad, bad things to house redoran. so i don't know how far i'll get there.
you're a member of the cammona tong? i got bad news for you. i've killed 22 memebers of the cammona tong, including the dren brothers at their plantation and the five members at the council club in balmora, and divers others. i've wrested the fighters guild from their control and strengthed the thieves guild to rival them. i kill any cammona tong i run into. no questions ask. |

I apologize again. The Morang Tong is the Assasins Guild. The Commona Tong is the alternative thieves guild that you can't join. One of the simple side quests in Balmora is to whipe out the commona tong. Funny thing is that most people can do it on level 2 or 3 providing with quite a few masters lockpicks/probes and lots and lots of armorer's hammers. Make sure you rob the bodies because they disapear with all the stuff. From what I've noticed if you complete that mission and then wait to get your debts erased you can get away with murder.. well more murder.
I've not exploited this much yet so there may be some people you're not allowed to kill, but the 2-3 people on the roof of the bar and teh bar tender you're not suposed to kill. I killed them and got away with it. I imagine that so long as no guards catch up to you, you could probobly kill every shop keeper and jsut take their stuff |

as long as their not involved in the main quest, you can kill them. i try not unless i'm specifically asked to kill someone, or they're cammona tong, or they attack me. you never know what side quests they'll be involved in. when i hit the cammona tong is balmora (like a tornado filled with knives) i killed the bartender, too. i didn't. i had summoned a flame atronach in the middle of the room, and he attacked me with everyone else. i didn't have a choice. it was good though, because i got to steal everything in the place without getting caught, since no one was left alive.
if i do get a bounty on me, i have the southwall cornerclub in balmora marked, so i just recall to there and have it removed by the barkeep there. i also store things in 3 of the houses on that street. |
