The Morrowind.ini is the file that stores many editable settings. These are settings that the average player would generally not need to change. Each setting is grouped into one of several sections. The start of a new section is designated like this:

[General]

Every setting is in the Name=Value format. A setting beginning with a semi-colon have been commented out. This means that the game will skip these when loading the Morrowind.ini file. The semi-colon can also be used to create comments.

The following sections list all of the settings and .ini sections found in a Morrowind.ini file with Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon installed. Commented lines are also listed.

AnswerOne Draw your dagger, mercifully ending its life with a single thrust?
AnswerTwo Use herbs from your pack to put it to sleep?
AnswerThree Do not interfere in the natural evolution of events, but rather take the opportunity to learn more about a strange animal that you have never seen before?

Question 3Edit

Name Default Value Description

Sound Vo\Misc\CharGen QA3.wav

Question 4Edit

Name Default Value Description
Question There is a lot of heated discussion at the local tavern over a group of people called 'Telepaths'. They have been hired by certain City-State kings. Rumor has it these Telepaths read a person's mind and tell their lord whether a follower is telling the truth or not.
AnswerOne This is a terrible practice. A person's thoughts are his own and no one, not even a king, has the right to make such an invasion into another human's mind.
AnswerTwo Loyal followers to the King have nothing to fear from a Telepath. It is important to have a method of finding assassins and spies before it is too late.
AnswerThree In these times, it is a necessary evil. Although you do not necessarily like the idea, a Telepath could have certain advantages during a time of war or in finding someone innocent of a crime.

AnswerOne Pick up the bag and signal to the guard, knowing that the only honorable thing to do is return the money to its rightful owner?
AnswerTwo Leave the bag there, knowing that it is better not to get involved?

Sound Vo\Misc\CharGen QA6.wav
