I did a major hardware upgrade and am reinstalling Oblivion.
I got all thee games installed-Oblivion, KOTN & Shivering Isles. I kept the
1.02 patch on a floppy when I downloaded it the first time and put it where
it belongs in the proper directory.

Every so often, without me hitting Q or anything, my character will
just start slowly crabwalking around.  I can't get him to stop and I
wind up having to leave the game and come back in.  Has anyone else
had this problem?

1) Been trying to find Armiger's Stronghold in Molag Mar (so I can train
up my Long Blade - nothing better to do with all that gold from the
Talking Mudcrab :), but I can't find it anywhere.  Anyone able to point
out where it is for me? :)

I reached a point in Oblivion where I realized just now ambitious it was
to expect to do everything.  Along with the fact that dungeons repopulate,
and a lot of them look the same after a while, this made me decide not to
poke around in every cave or fort that I found, and stick to ...

Hope you don't mind long list of questions from a newcomer.   Figured I'd
just post them all in one shot rather than clutter up your group's subject
headers.  If you have ng FAQ or Ultra-FAQ - point me in right direction.
1.)

I just got this game & it rocks but I do have a minor rant. Thanks in
advance for putting up with me since I've never posted here before.
Want to give background info though, to help the regulars here see where I'm
coming from.

Is there any difference between a "Potion of Cure Common Disease" and a
potion "Cure Common Disease"? (ditto for Blight Disease, Cure Poison,
Paralyzation and any other non-timed [or listed skill/spell level] ones
I might not have in my inventory)

The Secret Diaries of Rianna Morvaine (1)
16 Last Seed, Day 1
I woke cold and wet and in a prison ship.  I...don't recall how I got
there.  The past is fuzzy and uncertain.  When they freed me, the

I often come across mentions that Dagoth Ur is "evil" or "pure evil".
He doesn't seem that way to me. He just seems misguided.
He's got a misguided idea for a better Morrowind, and he's pursuing
it, and he doesn't mind if lots of people suffer blight on the way.

A few odd questions...
Why is it called Sideways Cave?
Is there any way up to the upper level?  I went all the way through, and
came out on a ledge with a fallen ladder halfway up, but I couldn't

I'm starting to think that my version of Morrowind (with Tribunal and
Bloodmoon) is majorly glitched.  First Brallion's nowhere to be found
and now the Rat-in-the-Pot in Ald-rhun is rather infested with Spider
Centurions.  They're not being viscious or anything, just wandering

Just got back from Ghostgate after stealing a set of glass armor from
the armorer in the Tower of Dusk.  Got no use for the boots (I'm a
Khajiit; forgot to grab the helm and I guess the tower shield was in a
crate) so is there anywhere that I'd be able to unload them at anywhere

When I played with NOM last time there was a woman who taught how to make
tisanes.  Where is she?  Also where can you get a recipe book for tisanes?

18 Heartfire, Day 34
Well, I finally found some Roland's Tear at Ald Sotha.  I also caught
a few Scamp souls.  While wandering around north of the ruin, I met
one Paur Maston.  He was looking for an escort to Molag Mar so he

I finally gotten back to playing Morrowind after several years and
finally met up with Almalexia after the mazed band quest in the
Tribunal expansion.  I must say, after all the stuff I've read about
her in the in-game books -- especially about her being Nerevar's wife
