Well, I role-play my characters and in addition I don't use any trainers.
Also, I try to avoid the Alchemy skill as it makes leveling too fast.
No other skill rises as fast as Alchemy in my experience.

Too unpredictable (only 20% or so chance of working) and carrying around
lots of mushrooms is not good for Encumbrance.

I agree that Str and End is the most important stats early on, but
Morrowind is a role-playing game, so my characters will use whatever
skills they need.

"better" is relative. If you powerplay - yes. If not it depends on your
okaying style. And as I said MW is a role playing game, not a roll
playing game.

Why go all the what to a shrine when you can just activate an item???

Why waste time hanging around when you can just activate an item?
After all you need to use all th gold and soul gems you collect on
*something* so why not use it to Enchant items to make life easier?

Also depends on your Mysticism skill.

Which is why you need Telekinesis.

Sure, but what good are they if your Security skill is not good enough.

Yes, I used to like Alchemy, but now I think its too much work and its
also too unbalancing and makes you level too fast.
So I go for Echanting items instead. The Enchant skill rises much slower,
giving a better game experience. IMO.
