Fun Stories from Morrowind

Post » Fri Jul 15, 2011 1:59 pm

So i found a dead Ordinator in a cave and thought "Yay new armor to wear!" So i quickly put it on and just for fun decided to go to Vivec so i could look awesome with my fellow Ordinators.
"WHY ARE YOU WEARING THE SACRED ARMOUR OF OUR ORDER! YOU N'WAH!"
It was at this point that i realised that wearing the armour of a excessively Zealous/Militaristic Religious Order that hates outlanders when i'm an outlander (Imperial) was a terrible idea. After being chased round the Hlaalu district for a couple of minutes i used Divine Intervention to Escape to Ebonheart and only later realised that all Ordinators now permanently hate me and to fix it i'd have to load an earlier save. While some people may see this as an irritating waste of time it's this sort of attention to detail that makes me love Morrowind so much.

So i was wondering if anyone has any good stories like this

As long as you're strong enough to handle the Ordinators, and don't mind them being angry with you the rest of the game, you can use that to turn some nice profit. Just kill them as they come after you, collect their armor, and sell it.

My funniest story comes from one of my very first play throughs, nearly a decade ago now. I was just raising general havoc in Seyda Neen, and managed to attract the attention of a bunch of slaughterfish, at least 5 as I recall. I swam into that little inlet between town and the light house, and one of the spear-wielding Imperial Guards jumped in to attack the fish as I escaped. I continued about my business and heard the guard fighting the fish for some time, assuming that that guard would kill them before long.

Well to my surprise, the guard was killed with only two severely weakened slaughterfish remaining. My best guess is that since there were so many, he just couldn't get enough attacks in as he was interrupted every time one of the fish hit him. I jumped in, finished off the slaughterfish, and got myself a great suit of armor for that early in the game.

Ordinators do have good gear. (Yay for Ebony Mace) I couldn't have left it as it was, i'd barely started in that playthrough and i prefer questing in Vivec when the guards aren't trying to kill me.
I love it when the Seyda Neen guards run into the water to attack random slaughterfish, never seen one get killed before but i have seen one wade out, kill the slaughterfish then get confused and refuse to leave the water
