Few Questions about Morrowind

[Mark Earnest]

I have been searching for the town of Balmora for about half an hour or so,
and it just does not seem to be anywhere. I was sent there for a job from
the starting town. Any ideas?

I have no magic menu when I right click the screen. How do I get one? I am
a Crusader.

How does one go invisible with the Moonshadow Power for being born under the
constellation, shadow?

Thanks for any help.

It should be marked on the map so you can see where you are and where
you should be heading towards.

You have to buy spells from some npcs

Simply select it, go into spell mode (r) and click should cast magic
spells, items and scrolls.

True - but it's possible he failed to complete the full range of
conversations in the Customs House in Seyda Neen - where after each
they say "You now have a _____ Menu"

The magic menu comes from picking up Fargoths ring, not from a converstion.
The next door will not open unless you have the ring, and in addition thw
door that exits from small room where you get your "mission" will also
trigger the magic menu. It would take some real skill to cause this to
happen.

I've never tried this myself, but what would happen if you jumped/fell in
the water and swam around the gate instead of going inside the Customs
House?

IIRC you cant.....boat and walkway is fenced off......and no amount of
jumping will get you over it.......

Not true.... there is a gate that you can use the lock pick on but there is
nothing to gain just a bit of practise.

Yes. Go back the eh town you started in, and take the silt strider to
Balmora.

1) As others have said, go back to town and go to that giant bug.

2) Right click and look at your map. There should be a "world"
button, which switches to a view of the island. Then you can see
where you are.

3) Do what you do in real life; the road signs can be read (you need
to walk up to them to read them), and the paper map that came with the
game is reasonably accurate. Combining the paper map with the in-game
map should get you far.

OK, if you don't have a magic menu, I wonder if you have a map either.
You *should* have gotten the magic menu when you went through the
initial "tutorial" part of the game. Ie, when you leave the first
census office building before you get to the second building, the game
should have told you to look in the barrel. If you do so, it would
have given you a magic menu.

If it's not there, read the manual. I forget which keys are used to
bring it back.

Then you just click on the spell name or power you want from the menu,
then the "r" key in the normal 3D view will raise your hands up in
preparation to cast the spell.

Everyone else seems to have missed the most obvious solution to this one,
which is: while in inventory mode, click on the box that shows your current
magic spell which is right next to the one that shows your current weapon,
which, if memory serves is right next to your health bars.

[Mark Earnest]

Thanks, guys. I finally used your information to get these problems solved.
It appears that when the menus are hidden, you can get them back by clicking
upon their (disguised) icons. I got the invisibility power by getting the
magic menu. And I finally made it to Balmora by using the paper map that
came with the game.

Wow, the pauldrons (shoulder pads) look like wings!

Baldrun had enough money in crates to fully outfit my crusader imperial with
some bad looking armor! :)

If you go to the top level of the town and inside the tall guard towers
there, you can pick up (ie: steal) TONS of stuff and sell for loads of cash.
:) Just make sure the guards don't see you, heh. Make sure your sneak skill
is decent (or train it inside, heh).

That isn't a very crusader like things to do.

No, but so what? Who cares? See it as tribute people have to pay for you
saving their butts from that big brute whatsisname that lives in that
volcano at the center of the island. :D

They should have to thank you for your services (that are yet to be
rendered, but you'll get 'round to it eventually, heh), in SOME tangible
sort of way. This is as good as any.

I didn't know there was a Politician class...

Haa haha! :)

My little thieving wood elf isn't much of a politician really. For starters,
he's not fat, hehe, and his conversation skill sucks too, if he compliments
people they usually feel insulted, and if he insults them they shrugs and
ignores him... Rofl!

The only thing that bothered me for a while was the small
indenture/button in the upper right corner of the inventory,
magic screens and the travelmap. When the button is
depressed (showing an intenture), right clicking doesn't
bring back the screen. It is probably meant as a safeguard
against accidentally obskuring your view in the middle of
a fight

Um, say what? That button thingy is to tack the view down to your screen, so
when you right click again to leave inventory mode, that window stays up.

You can start with the Mages.
The Quests of Anabi are easy and good for a Beginner of the Game.
To use the Moonshadow Power, you must it activate like a Spell.
If you havn't a Spell-Window, it could be minimized, click at the Magic-Icon to
restore it.
If that dosn't work, use the Spell-Buttons (Keyboard Config in the Menue) to go
to it.
Bad Side: You can use Power Spells only one Time per Day.
