How to Thief - Build and Start Guide for Morrowind

Don't mind me, just a cat-dude running from the Hlaalu treasury with bulging pockets, nothing to see here!

Actually insane to see such quality content coming from morrowind

if you find the Amulet too cheesy/too OP too early, a cool quest you can do with reasonable Sneaky assassin skills is Larrius Varro's first quest ("Larrius Varro Tells a Little Story") Balmora/Moonmoth Fort. Ask around for rumors in Balmora and people will tell you about him. The quest is quite hard if you're not careful since you are killing people inside a building, but if you can swing it, you get a Ring of Surroundings, which is 20-30% Chameleon for 30s on use. It takes more effort than the Amulet and the Ring is less powerful, but since it's an early quest and you are pointed towards Balmora anyway, it feels like a more organic start.

I played OpenMW multiplayer with a friend recently (modded a bit but mechanically still Morrowind) and at some point he realized he could level Sneak by just crouching behind a room full of people and going AFK for a while.

As many here I'm still a Morrowind player since release, I never stopped. Thanks for your work, it's very inspirating me to share myself some knowledge I have from this game on Youtube. Great job man

I'd really love to see that night blade guide you mentioned. Interested to see your take on it, since I've recently been leveling one myself. Playing slow and steady and stacking as much burst damage as possible is always such a great time.

You have many great guides on how to begin a game. Have you considered a guide on how to effectively manage the mid game? Not necessarily a min/max perfect play guide. But the general little tips on understanding the environment, enemies, quest order, good dungeon raiding practices, or just how to use Morrowind. Maybe it'd be mundane. But I thought this idea might point someone who uses your build guides in the right direction when they continue their story on their own.

Morrowind was one of the first rpg's i got really lost in. I played it on xbox when it came out and never did much more than thieves guild questline and general murder and mayhem. I remember pouring over the bible of a strategy guide to not get lost. Im re-enjoying the game on a steam deck now and really hooked. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us

This will be unpopular, but I like The Lady for thief characters. You generally won't be using too many skills that enhance endurance (although spear can be useful as a backup weapon, since it has a nice range), and that extra boost helps so much with your health. On top of that, a high personality helps you make the most profit off your pilfered goods.

My good man you are the only reason I am capable of understanding and enjoying this magnificent game. They just don’t make em like this no more. Games and YouTube content.

fantastic video. the format of guide + play through is really special! perfect!

As someone who wants to play through Morrowind all the way a second time as a stealthy thief I absolutely love this video! Especially considering there aren’t any good videos on being a thief that aren’t obsessing over the Strength and Endurance meta.

This build is an absolute blast! The jump distance you get with the increased acrobatics is insane it makes getting around much easier. Cheers man!

I have played Morrowind 20 years ago, when I was in high school and I remember it so fondly. Recently I picked Morrowind again on kids Xbox game pass, played it a little with all the nostalgia and then started digging in. Found OpenMW on PC and then your channel... Oh boy, what a treasure is your channel. So fun to watch and then go and play it. Thank you for being here. I remember vaguely, that I was playing as a Kajiit, the beginning was very difficult. I was very weak and poor. Being at a very low level, I have found some cave, where a strong NPC couldn't reach me. After painfully shooting hundreds of arrows at some fellow with Dwemer armor somewhere in the northwestern portion of the map, I managed to kill him. I don't remember how, but after that all went downhill where I quickly became a glass outfitted super cat marksman who could jump across the river in Balmora. So now I tested your alchemy tricks and further I want to try a Kajiit again, like you in this video.

You have a great vibe of a childhood friend with whom you could've sat down and play games together for hours, oh happy day

Thank you for making these videos bro, there’s no one out there with morrowind content like you! Keep making awesome stuff

Your videos have helped me so much with morrowind!! Thanks man seriously

Cheers man, been enjoying binging your videos for the past week for my bi-yearly month-long morrowind bender. I appreciate you, and you make great videos with great information while keeping it fun and light. Wishing you the best 🤝
