Kivan Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 DAMN i havent played morrowind... i was thinking of getting it. So do you use the keyboard to move around or the mouse?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I had a feeling this was done by accident (you starting a new post! ), so... You can move around exactly the same as if you were playing a first person, and if you have a mouse with a mousewheel, you can scroll between a first and third person view (to appreciate the graphics, stick to a third person view). You can also use the right mouse button to move forwards. You can't use the mouse to direct your character around though. Thats done with the arrow keys. If you move the mouse around, that controls the camera. The turn based combat is in real-time, so its fairly similar to NWN, apart from having lasers and lightsabers!

Kivan Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 So you can move around exactly like in quake and other 1st person games yes?, and can you change the controls so the mouse can turn the charecter around? like in quake/outcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 To be honest, I never tried to change the controls... they were perfectly laid out for SWG... I suppose you could change the mouse to move the character, but I wouldn't recommend it to be honest. But yes, basically, you move like you would in Outcast/Doom/Quake. Its just the combat that is different, but to be honest, I love the turn-based combat for this game. It suits it perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 meh i'm hooked on SWG but if it didn't come out, then i would probally have Morrow wind by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Wow, I just randomly clicked on this thread, and I see it's about Morrowind Since this isn't in SWG General Discussion, and I have no idea if this was meant to be a part of another conversation in another thread, I'm going to assume Kivan is asking about the game Morrowind, as opposed to SWG. Kivan: Here's the default controls for Morrowind (note these are fully customizable, for example my brother uses the arrow keys in place of WASD, and the mouse to jump), which are handily shown on a diagram in back of the game manual: W: Forward A: Strafe Left S: Back D: Strafe Right E: Jump R: Switch to Magic F: Switch to Weapon T: Rest J: Journal - +: Previous/Next Spell [ ] : Previous/Next Weapon Tab: Toggle View (Hold down to move camera around character with mouse) Caps Lock: Toggle Run Shift: Run Q: Auto-Run (only available if game is patched or upgraded to Tribunal and/or Bloodmon) Ctrl: Sneak F5: Quick Save F9: Quick Load F1: Quick Menu 1 - 9: Customizable Quick Keys 0: Switch to Hand-to-Hand Space: Activate Mouse 1: Use (uses item character is holding, i.e. attacks with a sword, picks with a lockpick) Mouse 2: Menu Mode Hope that helped...if you're talking about Morrowind. If you're talking about SWG, which everyone else seems to think but your post doesn't evidence, then: I don't know (since I don't have SWG ^^). But so far as I know, SWG offers several different sets of keyboard assignments, one supposedly FPS-style. Since JKII and Quake are both FPS games, your answer is "yes".

Zenmetsu Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I know this is an off-topic disscussion but morrowwind, that game is like 2 years ld and not related to anyhting star wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Heh. This post IS about SWG... the original post is in the general discussion section, under the title "UK gamers and pre-ordering". I guess that Kivan pressed New topic instead of reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenmetsu Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 oh, well his original post and his thread are far away from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I mean New thread. I was trying to talk about the style of SWG, and considering Morrowind is an RPG (duh!), I thought I would compare (although slightly) the 'style' of Morrowind with SWG... any thoughts from anyone else?

Zenmetsu Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I myself never played morrowind. But I think the best comparison fr this game is EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Hmm... never played that game at all... I've only just got ADSL, so I never bothered with online RPGs... I tried Unreal Tournament once, and the instant hit rifle is definately NOT instant hit with a 56k modem!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kivan Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 What planet/species/server are you all going to have? I'm thinking of starting on Tatooine as a Zabrak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I might wait until the game is released in the UK, and be one of the first to sign up on an official UK server, but I'm not quite sure yet... maybe Eclipse if my impatience gets the better of me!
