Morrowind - Should I create a warden or use an existing character?

[tripecac]

I just finished the main story today (pre-DLC Tamriel). I've bought the DLC areas as well (Thieves' Guild, etc.) and also Morrowind.

I'd now like to try Morrowind and am trying to decide whether to:

a) create a new (warden) character for morrowind -or-
b) take my main character to morrowind

I've been playing for about 3 months and have taken 2 chars to level 40, and the one who just finished the main story is champion level something-or-other. So, I am familiar with different types of characters and the 3 main areas.

To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of playing ESO 2 hours every day, especially when half of that time is research, crits, inventory management, and other "grindy" activities. When I do actually get to questing, I almost never bother to read or listen to the quest dialogs. I just blitz threw them, so am pretty much ignoring the stories. This impatience is not unique to ESO; I tend to do the same thing in LOTRO and other open world games. The Witcher 3 is one of the few huge games where I actually cared enough about the stories to read/listen to the lore.

Anyway, back to Morrowind...

If I create a warden, I know I'm in for a long slog through the early game. It takes lots of time and/or money to get the inventory space to a point where I can quest for an hour or so without having to return to town. So I am tempted to just take my main character to Morrowind, to save myself the early game hassle.

On the other hand, part of me is concerned that I will be "missing out" if I don't create a warden. It's part of the purchase price of Morrowind, so why not at least try it? But I know if I create a warden, I will feel compelled to use it all the way through Morrowind.

So what do you think? Is a warden character significantly more than the others? Is it more fun to explore Morrowind with a new character or a champion? What would you do?

You don't sound like you want to deal with starting a new character right now. I would use your already made character. We only get 8 char slots unless we want to pay irl money for more (which is priced to high imo so I just bought anther game one sale - cost me the same as an extra char slot with sale and then I got 8 more char slots to horse around with).

Also sounds like you might have gaming dulldrums. If you need to take a break from the game and read a novel series or watch comedy don't feel guilty. Worse could happen is your trader guilds might kick you. Just ask in chat till you get others when you come back.

Good luck.

Level your champion to level 561 first then play the other characters aswell.

Okay, I'll skip the warden and continue with my main.

I don't mind gaming, but I do mine grinding. The two MMOs I've played (LOTRO and ESO) both seem very grindy after a while. I play 'em solo, so there is no social dimension to them. Just loads and loads and loads of fetch and kill quests. And crafting. And inventory management. I found them both really fun for the first month or so... but then the gameplay starts to get repetitive and, in the case of ESO especially, I can't be bothered with the lore. LOTRO has the advantage in that I'm a Tolkien fan, but these days most of the LOTRO stories and locations are not in the books, so I skip most of those dialogs as well.

Anyway, back to ESO...

My Aldmeri main was still in Greenshade when I jumped to Coldharbour for the final bit of the Tamriel story.

What do you recommend I do next:

a) Morrowind
b) Thieves' Guild
c) Brotherhood
d) Orsinium
e) Imperial City
f) finish going through the Aldmeri areas/quests (Malabal Tor, Reaper's March)
g) something else?

i used my main toon to complete the expansion.

Technically, right now if you create any new char you start in morrowind. Its the prequel to ESO now.

The way scaling works in ESO, can we kill mobs faster as a champion or as a new character?

I know as a champion we have more skills and bonuses, but I'm not sure if those are cancelled out by low-level scaling.

I tried making a Warden when I first got Morrowind, but I didn't really like the class and I only had 100 cp points to work with, so I went back to continue Cadwell's Silver on my main. When I finish Gold, I may give the warden another chance, but right now I only got one character levelled high enough to gather more CP.

It really depends on your gear, now. I guess technically faster as a Champ, because you have easier access to better gear and minor benefits like penetration and such.

Do both.
