Morrowind General Discussion

Post by scribbane »

This thread is for any discussion about Morrowind that doesn't quite fit in anywhere else. Here you can go offtopic as long as it still relates to Morrowind.

St. Jiub indeed, but sadly he came a little late to the party. TES 6 should be in Morrowind again, ecept this time there are no cliff racers and no ashstorms, the ideal Morrowind haha.

Now that sounds like a mod I would want. I'll look later when I'm not on my phone but if you remember let me know.

Okay, I've got a fairly random Morrowind question for you all: if Jiub joined a Great House, what would it be? I'm inclined to think Indoril.

If he stayed on Vardenfell, I would say he joined Redoran and the Temple, else I would also say Indoril.

We were all prisoners too though, it'd be pretty ironic if a Saint came from House Dagoth :P.

He seems like a Redoran to me... though then again, I'm pretty biased.

Jiub? He's gotta be a Hlaalu kind of guy. I just can't see Telvanni or Indoril suiting him. Maybe Dres or Redoran, but he looks like a typical Hlaalu.

I guess it's hard to know without spending time with him and getting a feel for his character. He has barely any lines to gauge what he's like from.

It would have been nice for him to have escaped to Cyrodill over the 6 year gap between games, or for us to break him out of prison like mods have let us.

Well, he might have gone to Cyrodiil. The dialogue in Oblivion implies that the daedra got him in Morrowind, but nobody specifically says where he was killed by them.

I'd hope he would stay in Morrowind, last thing the Dunmer need is another one of their heroes/saints disappearing...

Oh, I'm fine with him dying in Morrowind (although I like the idea of him surviving), but I would have liked to get to know him better.

Well there is a small chance that he survived the Oblivion crysis or the events of the 4th era, but if he did, he could still be alive since Mer live for so long...

Yay. Jiub is a Saint, up there with Veloth and Nerevar (THE Indoril) and Rilms (who died by the hand of those damn'd Argonians :P) and Olms and Delyn (both Indoril).

If you could join any faction not joinable in vanilla morrowind, which would it be? I personally would pick east empire company, the fact that there has never been a merchant guild in tes is a huge missed opportunity.

Well, seeing as NPCs in Oblivion basically announce his death to you, I doubt it.

And for the join any faction thing, probably House Indoril. I think it might be interesting to play as the guys who I've always seen as Redoran with a dash of the Legion and a touch of Telvanni madness.

Talking of Guilds

Books refer to Guilds that do not exist in the game so I do not thing its about the guilds not existing, i think its about the devs not having time to create every guild. So the topic of Guilds, I would say anything you would reasonably expect to exist, probably would have existed had the devs had time to create them.

The other point is, why creating lets say all 5 houses for Morrowind, when the player can only join one at one playthrough(with out using cheats/console), this is always a question of time.

I like the current discussion, but just on the side, what was your favourite liquor of Morrowind?

(A nice reputable Hlaalu friendly site I might add :P).
