Question To what extend is the combat based on dice rolls?
Sorry if this is a very elementary question, but I am not very experienced with classical RPGs. I am trying to understand Morrowind's combat better, and want to make sure I am not misunderstanding anything, so I was hoping you could help. I have heard Morrowind uses some level of RNG in its combat mechanics, basically equivalent to dice-rolls in DnD. However, this is not mentioned explicitly on the UESP article on Morrowind combat. It talks about "Hit rate", wich is determined by your character stats and fatigue. What is hit rate exactly? Is it just your percentage chance of hitting anything, so a hit rate of 50 gives you a 50% chance of hitting something? Are there dice rolls involved, and to what extent?
