| Boots of: Blinding? Speed. |
|
I just read on another forum that the boots of blinding speed are supposed to make you blind!
I have been using them ever since I got them and the only thing that happens is that the screen gets a little darker.
they work great both swimming and levitating.
How have they worked for other people?

Depending on your magic resistance % at the time of putting them on, you will be blinded to varying degrees.

Your resistance will be displayed with all of the other magic modifiers your character is under the effect of: the bottom right.

Me be blinded completely, quite hilarious how I got suckered. I was so damned proud when my speed went through the roof until of course . . .
It took me a long time to find that fricken place too that that woman wanted me to escort her to. To top it off I got blighted for the first time and for some reason thought there would be no cure (but I guess that's corpus or whatever). I was ticked, but in a good way.
You know, so far playing a character that doesn't steal and that has balanced character traits has been quite challenging. But I haven't played enough to render a final judgement so I could be speaking out of my arse.

Umm.. Gotta love the fact that I found those boots early on in the game and saw the blinding effect they had, never tried them on, sold them and forgot WHERE I sold them. That's like.. 4 weeks ago or something. But at least my running skill (athletics) and my speed are both up to 100 now! (of course, my grandma, with both her arms broken, sitting in a wheelchair, going uphill, with the wind in her face, is still faster than my character in Morrowind) |

It must be because I went out exploring at the start of the game and got my character up to level 20 that they didn't make me blind.
By the time I found them I was probably level 23.
I am really glad to have them now.
When I had to rescue the mage from the prison I could run around all over the place and see a complete map of where all the doors were, and the guards couldn't catch me. In any dungeon I can outrun the bad guys.
And of course now traveling with the patch I just put them on hit the "Q" key and lean back and steer, for long straight stretches I can run to the kitchen for a coke.

You want some tips on moving faster with or without the boots, here are a couple.
Jump. A lot. And keep jumping. Raises your acrobatics skill while you're traveling, and when you leap, you move about 50% faster then a full speed run.
This is an error/glitch I've noticed in EVERY game I've ever played. If you run forward and strafe (so that you're running at an angle) you move faster then either direction would on it's own. [equal to sqrt(f^2+s^2) , where f is your forward speed, and s is your sideways speed]
I don't know anybody in real life who can run faster sideways than forwards (try it, at your own risk), but it always seems to work in the video game world. It makes it a bit hard to see where you're going, but so what.
Some other games that works in (as a point of interest): Bond, Unreal Tournament, Duke Nukem, Turok, Doom, etc.

No. Just capture a cliff racer and train it. The best way to train them is to put them in a cage and beat them till they listen. When it says trained cliff racer you are done. Get on and ride!!  |
