The Official Morrowind Thread

Helseth, the temple, the fighters guild, the legion, they all want me to wax people. Hlaalu and the mages guild have me stealing things. I'll go out on a limb and assume Telvanni, the vampire guilds, the thieves guild, morag tong and camonna tong aren't any better - I'm not sure it's possible to reach the top of any given faction without resorting to skullduggery.

As a low level character i had the most fun being a thief. Because just about anyone could take me out, I had to come up with some really inventive ways of sneaking around and stealing things. You have a lot of different strategies to use too, hiding, sneaking, telekenesis, brute force(later), mad dashes back to the Corner Club . It's a good way to get into the proper mindset to play. The straight brute force method (not just for thievery, but everything) is only fun for so long, and is not the way to get the most enjoyment out of Morrowind.

i Dwarves..well i will let you see whats up with the dwarves.

Actually, if you could, I'd love to hear about what's going on with the dwarves. I don't have my Xbox anymore, so I'm not likely to play the game again, and I'm pretty curious..especially after some of the ruins I found.

Question: I'm finally doing the third trial, and one of the things I need to provide is a 6th House Cup. Problem - much earlier in the game, I stumbled across a few House Dagoth hideouts, cleaned them out and sold the cups I found. None of the traders I sold them to have them anymore.

Are there any more to be found? Do I have to venture to Red Mountain to get them? Or am I screwed?

There probably are more out there. I'm at work now, but if I remember when I get home, I'll install the PC version. In the editor, you can search for a particular item and it'll give you every instance of it in the game. Useful if you need to find something.

But even if you're screwed that way, there's still the alternate way of completing the main quest. I'm sure there are faqs which cover that. It involves killing Vivec though, so you need to be pretty buff for it.

Thanks, man. My character's gotten a lot tougher recently - I managed to snag a set of Royal Guard armor, as well as some daedric stuff, and I've pumped my heavy armor skill, and though I can pretty much whip everything on main Vvardenfell senseless on difficulty 100, I'm not sure I'm up for taking on gods just yet. The dwarven ruins under Mournhold still give me a hard time.

as far as i recall there is only one house dagoth cup, and any merchant who got it should still have it. it is a very distinct red/black goblet.

EDIT: hit up my trusty morrowind prophecies book(my memory is foggy) and the cup is in kogoruhn

[StriderKyo]

Well, it's supposed to be in Kagoruhn, but I raided that place a while ago. Does it tell you exactly where it should be? Because I went over that place pretty thoroughly.

And I think I remember there being several house dagoth cups; they seem to be used in their rituals and show up around the altars to Dagoth Ur. If merchants hang onto these things I guess I can look around, but I have no clue who I would have sold it to. Nobody in the area seems to have it.

according to the book its on the table in the dome of pollocks eve on the surface. i will click it on tommorow and check it out, its late tonight an im old:P

[StriderKyo]

Doh. Nope, it's not there. I really hope there's another one out there somewhere.

Two 'i's in Cyrodiil, btw. I'd hate to have those ElderScrolls.com people think you weren't serious or something.
