first dungeon pissed me off because those damn rats kept killing me...then I realized I had it set on the hardest difficult. Bumped it down to a medium level, and all was well.

Combat feels very well done as opposed to the little I've played of Morrowind. There is actually a bit of skill involved, which appeals to my twitch gamer tastes, heh. I'm currently focusing on stealth and ranged combat (bow and arrow), with a little bit of swordfighting thrown in. Only magic I frequently use is healing, with a fire spell thrown in every so often. Anyone who's used to standard FPS controls should be right at home.

Exiting the initial sewers area for the first time is pretty much breathtaking. Huge rolling hills and mountains and cities can be seen far into the distance (and they're all actual locations you can visit in real-time, not just static backdrops). I found some ruins and entered this area called "Viverin" or something, just out of curiosity. I ended up going through this entire dungeon for like the next hour, and picking up some cool items, fighting enemies along the way. One hit killing folks with an arrow to the back is quite satisfying.

Once I finished that dungeon, it was raining outside, and there were some random bandits outside trying to bring the ruckus. They stepped to me but got beat down (I will beat bandit ass. I don't even care). Finally made it to a city and spent another hour just talking to folks, getting some info, and looking at stuff to buy. I took a rest at an inn and woke up around midnight. I tried to break into someone's house, but my lockpicking skills weren't so great so I couldn't do it. A guard caught me and I had to pay a fine, lol. I wonder if I should've resisted arrest (f-f-fuck the police!).

So maybe tonight I'll actually finish my next objective, lol.
