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.

One of my most hated npcs

Context because this is hyperspecific even for morrowind. Dalyne Arvel is a random woman in the Telvanni Chancellors chamber. She does nothing, contributes nothing to the game. She just stands in a hallway waiting for Baar Dau to one day fall and bury her in ash. HOWEVER, the hallway she blocks is the way to some merchants AND the woman that grows your stronghold during the Telvanni Questline. Dalyne Arvel is so inconsequential to anything that she doesnt even have a page on UESP, yet she is so irritating and obtrusive that if you are even remotely familiar with the telvanni questline, you know of her (even if you don't know her name).

Skyrim did fhe Dwemer better than Morrowind

Skyrim honestly did the dwemer better. Playing through morrowind the first time, the ruins were just deeply unsettling with their atmospheric sounds that make it seem like there's somebody right behind you. It was terrifying to explore them. It was the same thing with Skyrim, a vast city slowly humming along for millenia as ancient horrors stalk its halls. I cried once because I got lost in Nchuand Zel.

Now that I have played Skyrim and morrowind out entirely, Im still scared to go into skyrim's ruins because there are a billion falmer waiting to molest me. There is nothing to fear in morrowinds dwemer ruins. Their ruins are hallways that end in either a bedroom, a room with a big spinny thing, lava room, a room with shelves containing lore books and scarab plans, and finally, the room with the big spinny thing.

Skyrim's ruins may have also lost the mystique, but they still convey the might and majesty of the dwemer. You really feel like they were a race of master engineers and architects. In Morrowind, if you turn off the sound, you feel like you are going into your basement to get the artifical god schematics you tucked away with your Christmas decorations.

Edit: I need to make this TruStuhlly, I want to be gangbanged by an entire stronghold of orcs.

Deadlock's female character problem

>!Why are half of all ladies career criminals? Like, there are no men currently involved in organized crime yet we have two lady mob bosses. And of the women who are not career criminals, two are in law enforcement, two are vigilantes, one is a war criminal, one is a circus freak, one is a serial killer, one aspires to be a serial killer, one talks to dead people and one is extremely annoying. What did gabe mean by this?!<

Jk, this is a shitpost. I just think it is a funny observation.

Twitter: The three biggest haters and ragebaiters in the game obviously use Twitter. Seven and Doorman do it for the love of the game while Yamato is effortlessly like that.

Instagram: Lash and shiv are thirstposters, mina uses it to showcase her latest fashion pieces, paradox uses it to tease upcoming exhibits and Celeste runs the circus insta page (tho she never appears in it herself).

Facebook: the old people are there because they are old, while McGinnis, Bebop and Abrams are the sort of people to have one obligatory social media that they check once a month. Venator catfishes vampires on Facebook because vampires are old.

Tumblr: Paige and Graves are obvious, silver is one of those 35 year old lesbians that use Tumblr to complain about their lives and beef with people. Henry and Savannah do nothing but vaguepost about each other. Nobody can tell which blog is who's.

Pinterest is the ultimate old lady app.

Whatsapp: Everybody here seems like they use social media in the most utilitarian way possible.

Discord: idk, young people. Pocket definitely seems like a discord user though.

Reddit: I initially considered putting him as a Twitter user, but then I realized that Billy is filled with such conviction and a need to be right that he must be a redditor.

Feetfinder: Vyper pretends the feet belong to Lash while drifter sells his victims feet pics (just for fun, he doesn't even use the money. There's millions in that account).

Doesn't use social media: All of these people just seem like the sort to either disavow it, don't know what it is or find it useless for them.
