Nords are OP starting class
>100% Frost resist
>50% Shock resist
Also prepare for slow movement speed. I would recommend downloading a mod to up the default walking speed. But if you're playing vanilla I'd recommend getting the steed sign for more speed. Also spec into alteration magic for levitation. Combat is completely broken. Either you adapt to the bullshit by cheeseing your way through or you'll get filtered. Spec into either light or heavy armor, don't bother with medium cause there isn't a whole lot of good armor options (that is unless you have the add-ons installed). Focus on leveling up your weapon skills asap or else everything will just dodge your attacks. There's a lot of skill trainers in Balmora that can help with that. Alchemy can absolutely be abused to make broken spells and effects cause potion effects stack.

Have fun user. Glory to House Dagoth.

Run in a straight line anywhere once you leave the boat

Playing as an Orc or Redguard breaks combat due to their racial powers, which can be easily replenished by waiting 24 in-game hours (no penalty for doing this)

Buying a Bound Weapon spell at the mage's guild in Balmora will give you access to the nigh best weapons in the game for virtually no cost, just make sure to mark Conjuration as one of your minor or major skills so you can cast that spell consistently

Bartering with traders is absolutely broken and, provided you get the shopkeeper's disposition to 100, you can get infinite gold by buying an item for low / selling the same item back to him for higher

im thinking of a mage playthrough

Keep your load as light as possible. People who complain about the movement speed are just weighing themselves down.
Find a nice spot in Balmora to store your stuff, or anywhere you want. Just not in certain chests.
If you aren't interested in reading, at least read the books that the Main Quest characters give you (e.g. "A short history of Morrowind" at the beginning).

the game is intentionally slow and grindy at the beginning, so don't get filtered. join a guild and do their quests until you are comfortable in the world. the bald guy even tells you to in the game. listen to him.

Do custom class and pick what you think your gonna use. I recommend Dunmer spellsword since you get to try a little bit of everything.

Hand to hand you bitch. Don't need a weapon, become the weapon.

Use weapons that you tagged for skills.

Try to keep your stamina up. Don't fight with little to no stamina since that increases your chance to miss or fail casting a spell.

Get the Almsivi and Divine Intervention spells and learn where on the map an Intervention can take you.
