Main quest loophole? : III

» Sun May 24, 2015 5:09 am

So, I started my Morrowind game in around 2009.

I will recall what happened as best as I can.

I never cared much for the main quest, all I really wanted was the secrets, easter eggs and incredibly rare items from the world.

Eventually, after about a month or two of playing nearly every day, I had explored almost the whole world and found easter eggs such as the forum-related BanHammer and Capn's Guide to the Fishy Stick. I even went far enough to find the Peke Utchoo Joke. By this point my house was a museum and I was around level 36. The only problem was that I had barely started the main quest, only having reached Arkngthand and completed the quest area there.

The only things I was missing was a full set of Daedric Armor (I know you may be thinking where this is going, and yes)

When I found Tel Fyr, I found this guy in a house with the last living dwemer, with all this treasure and stuff. But what really caught me was Divayth's full set of Daedric Armor (minus the helmet). I was well aware he would be invaluable to the main quest, and killed him anyway. After raiding his house for his goodies (Daedric Crescent 10/10) I decided it was worth destroying the main quest. This was the easy part to remember. The rest is a little more difficult to recall, so it may be a little off or vague, sorry

Everyone was devastated that I had killed Divayth but I was happily enjoying the power I had now. But, since I had done nearly everything, the only thing left was the main quest. I believe I found Sunder and Keening after being helped by Yagrum Bagarn, and in doing so I believe I activated Vivec's part. I believe that the Temple would not allow me to go into Vivec's Palace, so I broke in with an enchanted shield that unlocked 100 pts on target. He was activated, and I believe from there I was presented with Wraithguard and sent on my way to Dagoth's place. I destroyed the heart and left to find that I had apparently been redeemed from killing Divayth. This is what I am pretty sure happened, but all that I can 100% tell you happened is that I killed Divayth, got the Tools anyway, activated the quest again and completed it (not to mention I later killed Vicec, trapped his soul in the Star and made Constant Effect Levitation :banana:

)

But can anyone tell me what I probably did and how it happened? This is an old save (on original Xbox)

Thank you

You used the main quest's backdoor. It's just an alternative the devs implemented in case we screwed ourselves (mostly with murder). I can't tell you much more because I never actually did it that way. Still nice to hear it was used by someone and allowed for a smooth story flow instead of bumping into a dead end.

Edit: By the way, welcome to the forums and have a http://images.uesp.net/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg! (It's a tradition)
