So I am coming back to Morrowind, but I want to play a character I haven't played before. I am thinking of playing a merchant character - buy items and sell them elsewhere, hire guards, cozy up to the imperials and House Hlaalu, etc. I am thinking of using no armour, and maybe short swords or blunt and focusing on followers through mods. I have empty house and furniture mods, so I will eventually be able to buy a shop and furnish it.
Does anyone have any advice on best character builds (doesn't have to be the most efficient build, but interesting), or any mods that make being a merchant possible/easier?
