Thanks for the advice. What about the map though? I notice that things I discover, besides towns, don't get marked on my map. Is that normal and is there anyway to change that?
I kept resetting because I keep thinking I should've had a major skill in something else or I could've played this a lot better, so that's the problem there. And I avoided there as major/minor skills because I didn't want to level up too fast. Unless it's a good idea to lvl up faster in this game?
This isnt the kind of rpg where you need to pass speech checks. The main use of speechcraft is manipulating npcs to attacking you so you can kill them without getting a bounty. Or getting better prices from merchants. Its very rare where you can get different dialogue options with high speechcraft. If you want someone to like you for some reason you can always just bribe them with money. Or cast a fortify personality spell.
Why the warrior?
But am I suppose to pick up ingredient books or something?
So speechcraft is pretty much useless? How do I get people to attack me? I've tried getting them to do it but they just tell me to go away
Morrowind is much easier than Skyrim if you know what the fuck you're doing OP. Look up how to loot vivec vaults. You can easily get 200k-500k gold as a level 1 character. Use that to pay trainers to raise all your skills to 100, and with a correct training method you can raise all your attributes to 100. Then find the azura star and capture some golden saint souls to enchant constant restore health items. Not to mention the alchemy loop, that shit breaks the game like nothing else. Raise your intelligence to 6000 or something so you can enchant all items for free.
Just keep playing. The learning curve is higher for this game and the main quest takes a while to unfold but it's the best Elder Scrolls for a reason.

I would say that the fun in this game is in the growth of the character's skills (and there is a lot of room for growth), and interactions with other characters, which lead to lore exposition and quests. Randomly walking into dungeons looking for critters and treasure is actually not the way to go - you will invariably kill a quest character or miss a quest item.
You can add custom notes and markers to the local map by double-clicking.
Can't do it to the overworld map iirc. It's unfortunate but understandable for the time since every tile in the overworld map is a module with probably more than a few POI.
Serviceable design back then, not great today.
>But am I suppose to pick up ingredient books or something?
No. Use alchemy apparatuses and just click the ingredients you want. You might want to find alchemy trainers too to decrase the chance of concoction failure. Look up the guides at en.uesp.net.

There's a mod for that.
