So I've just come back to Morrowind, haven't played it for years, and I've started on the main quest. I can still remember a fair bit of what happens, but not enough to make things easy for me. Quite the opposite in fact. Grabbed the puzzle box from Arkngthand earlier, a debacle which led to the thread title.

So I enter Arkngthand, and I could remember that the box is sitting on a shelf somewhere. I spent the next three quarters of an hour hacking my way through the place with my Argonian nightblade, exploring just about everywhere trying to find that damn box, before stumbling back to the entrance. Where I saw the floor above the entrance, and suddenly remembered: the blasted thing's up there.

Much as I love this game, there are times I really hate it.

Any of you had something similar?
