Gonna do a specific morrowind run, need some help on something
So, I am going to do a Morrowind run where I complete House Telvanni and the Morrowind Mages guild questlines without casting a single spell, because it isnt necessary for those factions (outside of I believe a single quest that may be circumnavigated).
I just have two questions. The first is which race should I pick; Argonian or Nord? The character is obviously gonna be named Can't-Spell, but I dunno which is funny, an Argonian lady stabbing Gothren on the face to become Head of House Telvanni or a nord barbarian smashing Trebonius' skull in. As an Argonian, I would focus Spear and as a nord, Ax (Nord's full name would be Hroaki Can't-Spell). I think Nord may be easier with the shock and frost resistance.
The second question is, does using enchanted items count as real magic? An enchanted item is necessary for one quest, but it is also the only way I can get experience without buying training. There are two layers to this question; is it permissible to use enchanted items in combat and/or is it permissible to use enchanted items exclusively to meet the level requirements to advance? As in, spamming every enchanted items I can get dry and waiting for it to recharge.
