Let's say I want to play Morrowind...

I know there's a reason for it (any guard you talked to blatantly said they wanted nothing to do with the DB), but it always annoyed me I could run past several guards, and they'd always ignore the assassin coming after me, yelling how 'he'd make it quick'.


I talked to one player who said his guards actually helped him once. Mine never did. If I survived, it was because I figure out a way to drown him or something. Well, technically it was because he accidentally became the target for a lot of Slaughterfish and Dreugh. Eh.

He was probably running some AI mod.

As for the mages and assorted spellcasters, they can be really damn powerful from early on if you know what you're doing. For example I completed the "Bad People" quest casting two spells (each once), without even getting a scratch nor incurring a bounty. If I attempted to do this quest with same level combat oriented character, I would get gangraped - assuming that CT smith wouldn't just split my skull with a single blow before any of his buddies even joined the fray, as this would turn prospective gangrape into group-necrophilia, at best.

For guards actually defending you against NPC attackers, use

Fliggerty made one of those, too? Geez, I've already got a number of his mods. Farmer's Guild, Drug Lord, Slavery, Better Barter and a host of others.


Guess I'll download it and start a new file.

Some mods install smoothly over existing saves. Try that first.
