So, somewhere I recall reading that Morrowind was designed to be played "however you want"....Not at all true, I'm finding out as I have to revisit locations that I've already cleared in order to kill people that I've already killed and, in some cases, retrieve certain items from them that are no longer there.

My latest adventure - Was supposed to talk to a woman at Buckmoth Fort about some gang holed up in Ilunibi, to get the run down on how to find them, etc. and instructions in particular to kill the ring leader. I talk to her, she gives me the 411, I go over to Ilunibi and, when I get there, realize that I cleared those caverns long ago...So, I go back to the woman at Buckmoth and try talking to her about it, hoping she'll go, "You did it! Great!" But she doesn't. She just repeats the instructions as if the mission has not been carried out yet.

I'm pretty sure I cleared the entire thing. Is there a secret passageway somewhere that I might have missed? If not, what do I do now in order to move forward???
