Poll: A New Game in Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind [POLL]

It doesn't matter much what your starting skills are, but somethings turn out to be more useful than you'd think.
Short Blades are not a particularly good weapon, but the best of this kind turn out to be pretty easily acquired - you can get a daedric short blade for free when visiting Mournhold, if you defeat the attacker wielding it.
Personality doesn't seem like a game breaker, but if it's high enough then many brigands who would normally attack you won't.
Mysticism has a few spells that make the game a lot easier - Detect Life and Detect Magic in particular.

I personally go with Thief, since I think it's the most fun to play as. Warrior is good If you're just starting out, though it really doesn't matter. Go with whatever you want.

Dark Elf with Long sword and combat will start you with a huge head start and able to hit stuff immediately. I think the final total is a 55/100 skill. That's the least annoying at the beginning, and if you find the Sword of White Woe in Balmora, you're set... but that might just spoil you forever.
