I just wanted to ask this question because I have found several weird things in Morrowind.
Whether this be an NPC, an item, or anything.
To start it off, I will say my weird thing:
One of the things that I've found weird, is how when your character notches an arrow, he/she just pulls it out of his/her back.

I mean really, who would pull an arrow out of their spine?... ouch...

So, what is yours?

Well I can't say anything about arrows, but when I move the camera out to third person and walk(not run), my guy just swings his shield arm back and forth like normal. This results in the shield passing through his torso. Can we say....Clipping error?

If you are really close to someone it's impossible to hit them with an arrow! I understand that this simulates that it shouldn't be possiblen to use a bow in meele combat, but even if you stand behind someone that's unaware of you and shoot him in the back you won't hit. If you back off a bit and try again you will hit.

Wait, what do you mean by, "An Angle?..."

The pc was walking foward, but upwards at the same time so it was a diagonal walk up and out of the worl map. I think it happened in the raven rock aeria on solstheim

If you jump on top of someone while he is saying something he'll get a real high voice and talk faster.

When you wear a robe, it does not appear in your shadow.
Actually, almost nothing appears correctly in your shadow.

Really?
I've got to try that...
Another thing I've found weird (and funny), is how when an NPC says something as they are dying, they continue to say it after they are dead... talk about last words.

That reminds me of FEAR. When you vaporize them with the Particle rifle, they keep screaming about a second and a half after their lungs have evaporated.

Not only do they continue to scream after they die, they aslo START screaming and talking after they die!
Every time i 1-hit someone I hear "I will enjoy killing you!" or similar things while they fall backwards and die.

I find it weird that the NPCs' dialogue has no bearing on how the fight is going for them.
My favourite NPC line is "You're growing weak" and then THEY keel over and die.

A dai-katana has the same range has a dagger, but a short spear has almost twice the range of the dai-katana.

There are so many things... I just need to remember one.
I find it strange how a guard automatically knows if you've committed a crime. Seriously, the guards must be telepathic or something. It's the same with Oblivion, too. Only their guards are ugly and telepathic.

EVERYBODY is telepathic! If you steal a pillow from a person that is completely alone everybody in Vvardenfell and Solstheim and Mournhold will know immediately.

two things that bother me are, first, you can't retrieve arrows. I mean, come on! I missed. That was my last one!

Second is, the character, and everyone else, attacks like a moran. You can't chop with a spear, first, in real life! TWo problems.

I think that was meant to be put in by the developers. Maybe they just got really bored!

One time I was running around (in the vivec, mages guild i think) when i jumped on a staircase and went flying through the ground. My character fell down a never ending abyss until he blacked out or something and i didn't die just respawned right where i just was. very strange and traumatic experience for my poor character.

Yes, I have fallen through the walls/floor several times and disappeared into the darkness too.
When that happens you respawn alive on the ground again

Yes, I've seen several of these too. Also one was right next to a Dreugh with it's top half sticking out of the ground!
All of these were on a small Island near Dagon Fel - was there a tidal wave here I was unaware of?

No one under 18 is permitted in Morrowind. Or in Oblivion, for that matter. I don't see any children. Perhaps several decades ago, everyone suddenly went infertile. It must be related to the rise of the Sixth House.
Often times I will enter a new cell and instantly take damage or die.
Perhaps it is related to high Personality, but most often than not I can have a lively conversation with cave bandits and other NPC enemies before they engage in combat with me. Sometimes I can sleep in front of them before they decide I'm an intruder. you'd be surprised how many hostile NPCs offer services!
You can sleep in someone's bed, provided they weren't in the room at the time. Wouldn't they eventually head to bed and discover you were sleeping there? In fact most people never leave their spots, or at least wander in the same area. Some people who own homes simply wander the streets eternally.
Some people who sell illegal contraband (such as skooma) will refuse to buy it from you thereafter. Hypocrites.

If you talk to a deadric prince and you view yourself in 3rd person you can see your character's mouth moving. It's like they're speaking through you.

Get Athletics skill 100 and go to Vivec.
Run fast as you can up the ramp.
Running too close to wall or directly towards the wall and you fall down to water.
Funny.

Going near a wall and you get stock in it.
Almalexia is calling you her lover and her servant; so now we know who is the head of that family.
Characters that are in combat yet do not move; which make you think "friend or foe". If you click on him it will write "This character is in combat.".
Everyone knows about Solstheim like its a famous place or something. Most characters won't know nothing about Vivec (or wouldn't talk about it) yet Solstheim is no tabu.
Slaves follow you anywhere, anytime!
Gnisis' pants quest humour:
In Gnisis you get a quest from a pantless dude in water, that an orc stole his pants. How come? The orc either moved so swiftly and stole his pants from him while the dumner was downtown and he awake himself pantless or the orc stole the pants from his house at night; the dumner awake took his clothes and suddenly in the middle of the town he remembered he has no pants!
After finishing the "pants"-quest, i found the orc that took the pants in the water; what now? did the dumner stole his pants as revenge.
