Bound Dagger is the real MVP

[Knavenformed]

It has been so long since I last played Morrowind and I totally forgot how good Bound Weapons are here.

I'm playing a Nord Drifter from the Reach pretty much and I decided to buy the Bound Dagger from the Balmora Mages Guild since my character isn't averse to small magic due to the Daedric influences of the Reach.

And man I can't really remember much of the game, just a couple of locations and quests in the early game, but that Dagger has now helped me clear 2 Daedric Shrines and make a nice 4k profit from stealing from them, bad idea? Who knows, but man that little blade is giving me a power trip like no other.

yes

You have good conjuration skills, then conjured weapons early are a must for anyone playing a battlemage etc.
Also when conjuration gets to good levels, then look at atronach summons, specially Frost, he can block any doorway or entrance in dungeons, gives you lots of time to reorganise yourself.
Short sword is a great weapon when you have enough into the skill, as far as I am concerned much better than big, heavy weapons, purely down to the speed.

This character won't go far into magic outside bound dagger and a bit of mysticism for flavor.
Nord born Atronach has a bit of a hard time using magic big time.
But yeah the faster weapons can stunlock for days.

Bound weapons are one of the best weapons available, yes.

I love playing Battle Mages (Nord or Altmer) Use a little alchemy - ash yam + bloat to increase int and thus amount of magicka during battle.
Have a Summon Ancestral Ghost - in between battles summon and attack it with bare fists it will attack you and replenish your magicka.

yes, we're aware of the cheats and mechanics abuse

at that point you might as well use the console to give yourself cheat stats or mod regenerating magicka, just to stop you from the goofiness of punching ghosts

I have not suggested any "goofiness" or "cheats", I would not even suggest the int "glitch".
So using good alchemy skills can boost int so therefore magicka. Using the Ancestral Ghost, Shrines etc are not glitches or cheats but part of the game to help those who choose Atronach sign.

So read and understand what I write first before making a wrong judgement!!

Can confirm. With enough conjuration skill at character creation, you start with the bound dagger spell and can just barge into tombs and kill ghosts straight off the boat.

Update: Did the Castle Xyr play quest at level 6 and the Demon Tanto I've found earlier carried me through with the shielding Nord ability, now I've banked 2k more and a Daedric Wakizashi, epic.

Okay idk if I was supposed to do this but I went in to the Dark Brotherhood Sewers at lvl6 came out at lvl8 having killed them all.

Idk if I'm abusing a meta but it was hilarious chugging alcohol and energy drinks and just stab the leader to death in a vengeful berserk while he could kill me in 3 shots but couldn't get them off while he was getting shanked to death.

The brotherhood get much harder at higher levels cus their daggers are all glass and ebony with enchantments on them as opposed to iron ones with enchantment at lower levels. The goblins in the sewers for the next quests are gonna be what get ya

Yeah I got lucky with the Goblins at the beginning with my Crossbow, but after the Dilborn quest and getting tag teamed by Gobbos I decided to go back to Vvardenfell to get a bit more base game gear now that I'm already quite OP for it.
