Your Favorite Faction / Great House
Seeing as Oblivion has one, I figured Morrowind could use one too. What is your favorite faction in Morrowind?

Re: Your Favorite Faction in Morrowind
Certainly House Telvanni. After that, the Morag Tong. Fighter's Guild is dumb, mainly because of the big heads the Big Cheeses have. There is no pleasure like killing Fire-Eye after she asks you for the Bittercup.

I thought that most of the Hlaalu didn't like crassius. I figure if you were part of the house youd feel the same way =/. You should switch to Telvanni =D.Dogmantra wrote:House Hlaalu.

Most of Hlaalu think Crassius is completely insane, but they agree that he's a very good councillor. Or at least, they should.apploud wrote:I thought that most of the Hlaalu didn't like crassius. I figure if you were part of the house youd feel the same way =/. You should switch to Telvanni =D.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
Gotta go with the Telvanni.
First of all, unlike the other houses, killing the people you find annoying is standard operating procedure, and they're not even hypocritical about it. Telvanni wouldn't hire the Dark brotherhood - it would imply being *embarrassed* about wanting someone dead and being secretive about it. Being able to say "I'm sorry, but I think you're an evil person, a senile evil person at that, and frankly the world is better off without you. Plus I get to take your stuff, legally." is refreshing - <G>.
Second of all - the stronghold is great! Drop your mark at the house, Propylon chamber just north (With all the restocking golden saints you could ask for, no trying to 'grab' the cool item before the corpse 'unsummons'. And by 'restock' we mean, walk away, walk back - <G>.). Divine intervention takes you one floor from a Mages guild, with two fairly useful alchemists one floor from each other, Almsivi goes straight to Molag Mar, from there it's fairly short jaunt to the Mudcrab, and from *there*, if the master hammers at Molag Mar were insufficient one Divine intervention to the armorer at Ebonheart and his uber hammers, and of course lovely downtown Vivec and Mournhold.
It's like having a house 50 miles from the city with bullet train service wherever you want for 25 septims or less "All ABOARD!!! Next Stops - Sadith Mora - Ald Ruhn - Kookamunga - Trenton - and Kathmandu . . ."

Opposing house, therefore the crazy guy in charge of their rivals would be a good thing.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
I'm Telvanni at heart, summoning permanent body guards (Dremora on my left, Golden Saint on my right) is their fashion, and being able to kill other members without it being illegal? Awsome

Re: Your Favorite Faction
I loved the Imperial Legion, for whatever reason. I just found it really fun. Aside from that I pretty much like all of the guilds I've been a member of.
Re: Your Favorite Faction
House Hlaalu.
Awesome = House Hlaalu.
House Hlaalu = Awesome.
Conclusion: House Hlaalu = Universe = Everything that is awesome.
Uncle Crassius = Hlaalu = Awesome.
....Or Thieves Guild....

Re: Your Favorite Faction
Favourite House is Hlaalu, after all they provided me with a great retirement home in Rethan manor. 
Favourite faction is the EEC. Although I am not keen on Solstheim the quests provided some awesome fun as well as the chance to build a colony.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
Now that you mention it, I rather loved EEC as well for similar reasons. Unfortunately I played on the XBox so it ("it" being the colony) was downplayed. I can't wait to repeat it on the PC and see it in all it's glory.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
I liked the Morag Tong, mainly because I loved the freedom to walk up to my target as they stood at the bar, chatting with friends, cut them down and promptly leave, present my writ and walk away. Good stuff.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
I've only tried House Telvanni for the moment, bot on my current character I plan to join House Hlaalu soon enough.
For faction, perhaps the EEC/Imperial Cult. I particularly liked the Oracle's Quests, and I really only had to get out of the shrine twice being an almoner. :o

Re: Your Favorite Faction
I like mages' a lot. They have some pretty fun, world spanning quests. Also, discount on teleporting and non-racism towards vampires is win.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
Mages Guild, because I'm a BattleMage at heart and LOVE rising to the rank of ArchMage.
I've always joined House Hlaalu because I'm usually a good and pure citizen who throws his lot in with the native Dunmer. I'll most likely join House Telvanni this time because, just for a change, I want to be the "evil incarnate"! Dagoth Ur? Watch your back, matey. I'm coming to REPLACE you! I and my army of summons shall be the FINAL blight storm that leaves NO survivors! Mwahahaharrr!

East Empire Company is pretty neat. I LOVE Carnius Magius!! "Without me, it all falls to pieces." That guy has ATTITUDE! Plus, it's extremely fun killing Falco from the watch tower. And when that assassin dude comes out? Epic win!!

Re: Your Favorite Faction
I agree. I finished one game ages ago by taunting and killing every NPC in sight! It was eerie wandering around "ghost towns" populated solely by respawning Guards and Ordinators.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
House Telvanni. Morrowind's wizard-related classes are good from the beginning, and House Telvanni is mostly based on magic. Plus, House Telvanni supports slavery. The fact that you can actually buy slaves in Morrowind is awesome.

Re: Your Favorite Faction
Imperial Cult has the best rewards 
I kinda liked EEC a lot also, as I did FG, MG, TG, GHH, MT, TT. IL...
Well, I kinda like joining them all, just never tried joining Quarra or Redoran... those sound useless

Re: Your Favorite Faction
Redoran is pretty useless. They're so annoying, too, with their "honorable duels" and such. Quarra is ok, but I'm not a big vampire person myself. For me, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.Zmery wrote:Imperial Cult has the best rewards
