Can anyone please help me with this Arrrgh?!

It really depends on what you want yourself. If you want gold, go with Hlaalu, if you want every possible artifact you could ever obtain, go with Telvanni, if you want honorable peers and kind of middle of the road rewards between Hlaalu and Telvanni, go with Redoran.

Also if you roleplay at all, then you may as well pick the house with the most closely-resembling aspects of your character. Hlaalu for power corruption, Telvanni for sheer madness and indifference and all sorts of Sheogorath-y fun, and Redoran for one of the closest things to an honorable organization in Morrowind.

If however you're just basing it on character stats, you're going to be choosing between Redoran and Telvanni. It edges just a bit more toward Redoran but your magick skills and Willpower are pretty darned high with the rest of your stats too.

In my honest opinion, Hlaalu sucks the most. It makes you go on a quest to find a unique wakizashi (that is to say its stats are unique, it's daedric but with altered stats) which could quite possibly be the most valuable thing you'll ever get your hands on for that house, and then you have to give it to the quest giver. Quite annoying.

Also, there's a glitch to join two houses. It requires that you be in one that isn't Hlaalu and then read the wiki for the rest cuz I can't remember it.

Redoran doesn't suck.

I agree you get poor rewards early on compared to Hlaalu but you can get some very nice daedric weapons and ebony armour suits by doing the higher quests.

Hey akatosh, guess what, redoran sucks. My recommendation is telvanni.

Here's a chart to help you.

I did join House Redoran once and was quite underwhelmed. For not one but two quests, the result is a handful of Hackle-Ho leaves. Considering a Redoran member isn't likely to have alchemy as a major I found this a bit stupid.

I normally join Hlaalu, I like their quests and the site of the stronghold. I have played Redoran a couple of times the quests never hold my interest.
The Telvanni are not normally the type I associate with but I agree that there are some useful rewards to be had.

None of them "suck" (although I don't really understand what it means, not a very helpful description) and one way for the OP to sort it out for himself is to make a save before starting. Do one of the houses and then revert to that save. That way all three can be done and the OP will have an opinion of his own.

Lets take an analysis shall we?:


Hlaalu:

Telvanni:

Redoran:


You have questions?

ABQ, that is HILARIOUS I laughed for 8 minutes when I saw that, redoran as pudding? If that's even pudding

Pudding? You wish.

What is that? It looks like red whipped cream,

You know as redoran you get to kill some hlaalu and telvanni
huge benefit that :-p

Its poop Goddamit!

As Hlaalu you get to kill Redoran and Telvanni, and as Telvanni you get to kill Hlaalu and Redoran.

Allow me to make a more correct analysis:


Hlaalu:

Telvanni:

Redoran:

So clearly, if you're not a coward and if you're not insane, Redoran is the way to go.

Well basically all houses are built around specific skills so if you want a house that will match your skills (which will be useful for getting to higher levels in the guild quicker) it would be

Telvanni - Magic
Hlaalu - Stealth
Redoran - Combat

I went with Hlaalu due to my backstabbing nature, however the Telvanni stronghold looks nicer...

I'd go with telvanni. They are the coolest

Hey there again.
I have decided to go with......TELVANNI!!!
