Ah, I see you're a man of honor as well. I have this theory that the Nerevarine would've joined house Redoran, because after the events of the game, when Oblivion, Argonian invasion of Morrowind, the Red Year all happen, Redoran take over as the leading faction because they're the only ones who have their s**t together and actually do something. When you join Redoran in Morrowind they are a bit on the backfoot, their leadership is old and rigid. So something must've changed between the time of the game and future events, and Nerevarine reforming the house makes the most sense.
Telvanni have their shit together too, it’s just their goals have nothing to do with running a functioning government or helping anyone. Even if they were the only surviving house in Morrowind they wouldn’t bother with administration because that detracts from important tasks such as Dwemer museum curation, kwama egg artistry, shroom cultivation, and daughter wife cloning
"Trebonius is an imbecile. Which has no cure." *me nonchalantly looting his corpse after our fight to the death in the Vivec Arena* "Yeah. Damn shame, that. Nothing to be done. Not a thing."
I'm surprised to see another Redoran enjoyer. First house I did and now that I've done the rest, my thoughts have not changed, they're the best. I love the honourable warrior archetype in fantasy and as you mention, the way it's integrated into the main quest is all good stuff. Rewards are objectively the worst, but if you can't live off the dew on a single ginko leaf and the energy of the universe, you're not fit for most honourable house anyway.
I did Redoran last. I tend to play mage characters so I always just joined the Telvanni. But after completing the Redoran quests for the channel I could only think: damn, that was actually really good! It became by favourite questline after that.
Personally I've always figured it had more to do with the idea that you, the player, would already have capital from questing in other factions. I felt that the Great Houses were meant to be found and tackled after you did an imperial guild. Granted I'm also looking at that from my own lense of playing Morrowind when I was a wee child without the internet.
Personally I dislike the Imperial Legion because if you join them then get distracted from advancing their ranks, every guard in the universe sasses you for wearing non Legion armor. Gets annoying quickly.
I haven't visited Morrowind in light years, and with Skywind looming ever closer on the horizon, it's high time to prepare myself spiritually;) Thank you for an informative and interesting journey, guide.
My girlfriend is certainly not a whale. Why should I imagine her being whale to begin with? Also mages guild is kind of essential. Half of fast traveling mechanics are locked behind it.
My girlfriend is not a whale. I really only disagree with the Morag Tong placement. I kind of like seeing a faction run as intended instead of a giant threat that'll destroy the faction.
Yeah, ew, I don't like the whole "a random threat will destroy half the faction so you conveniently become the leader" either. But one faction had to be last and tbh, just a little bit of flavour text can add a lot to make a quest feel more interesting and apart from special duties, MT doesn't really have that. In retrospect, given Morag Tong's whole honour and professionalism character, that makes complete sense. It doesn't change that it makes it kinda dull to me, tho.
- "My girlfriend is not a whale" - I am so happy you put redoran on top... I always hear people hate on it because you dont get a lot of gold.. but I've always loved it.. it was the poorest house because they played by the rules.. I also love all the small ramshackle towns.. with a few redoran knights to keep it safe. And the fact that your entry to the house politics revolves around saving a kidnapped son.. its a great way to create intrigue. Good and unorthodox choice for number 1! - Where do i recognize the music played at 11:03 from?
The music is a combat track from Stronghold. Yeah, the _obvious_ choice here would be to just put Telvanni, but well, you heard what I said about that. Telvanni does have a lot of interesting characters but tbh you come across most of them more during the Hortator quest than the House questline. I'd say that in contrast, Redoran has a worse Hortator quest.
@Imperatia yeah its very short indeed... but if you just get the rank by doing house Redoran you wont know xD - the climb to power in redoran feels good though.. I would wish the "stronghold" you get was a tiny bit closer to Ald'ruhn. Or maybe if it was up North, close to Ald Velothi.. the garrison in Ald Velothi could use some reinforcements x)
@@Imperatia I guess your right! I never thought of it like that... Makes me wish it was more eastern positioned though.. Or if it looked more like a small fort. Never thought of it to be part of the defense against Dagoth Ur.. It makes me like Redoran even more now.
Ordinators being friendly is indeed illegal - they took your, Lord Indoril Nerevar, house name, and instead of immediately and unquestioningly pledging full and exclusive allegiance to you the moment they see you, they DARE to call you "scum", and outright attack you for wearing the helm or cuirass with emblems of YOUR house?!?! Getting their lives taken, their armor sold for coin, and their souls sold to the Daedra (at least lore-wise, if you refuse to install the corresponding mods) is the ONLY treatment they deserve! How DARE you to do Great House Telvani so dirty? What about the Robe of the Drake's Pride? - They are Telvani - Why would you even want to return it? You also didn't mention the ring of equity - the ultimate "f-you" to any offensive spellcaster... Redoran first place? Really?! "The you-can't-rejoin-after-getting-expelled-more-than-once, just like the Temple" faction? You praise the Ebony Armor set?! Why on earth would you NOT get a full Daedric armor set from Divayth Fyr? (damage strength, so he won't move, damage speed just to be extra safe, then disintegrate armor so he unequips it, then pickpocket it, and use calm if you want to talk to him)
In the thumbnail you put the Legion and the House Telvanni thus made me think they are the worst and the best factions in your list respectively. But it seems you have tricked me. Well played. I'd say my girlfriend is not a whale, but I do not have a girlfriend.
New morrowind content dropped 🗣🗣🗣 (My girlfriend Is not a whale) Also i fucking love the east empire companies. It is (imo) the most realistic and immersive faction next to mages and redoran . Also morag tong at the bottom is crazy 😢
@5:50 if you let NPC dialogue in a video games drive you into a rage you 100% deserve to be mocked for it. Let's all point and laugh at the guy who takes words written twenty years ago personally!
@Imperatia also I totally agree with your ranking! I may or may not have woken up on the grumpy side of the bed. No excuse for being a dick, for what its worth.
@Imperatia the ones I think the community is most interested in are reviews for sections of the game (like this one), in depth lore videos told from the games perspective, game secrets like hidden explorable areas, and challenges (with edits shwoing the good parts). I like them all.
I am playing Morrowind for thr first time as an adult, and I had no ides east empire company was even a faction. And this is the first time I have registered Twin Lamps as a thing. Any vague hints on where to find them?
My girlfriend is not a whale! Also, I personally think House Telvanni is the best House in the game. Though that's probably because I tend to play various types of Mage, so they're the one I benefit from the most.
My gf is not a whale ® Mages guild questlines set me on path to learn more about disappearance of the dwarfs and Trebonius sent me to kill all Telvani councilors. That elevates it for me just a bit above Telvani.
I usually do both. Which makes for funny roleplay when Rhanys in Balmora has me go after independent tutors, healers and finally a(nother) telvanni spy... Only for me to turn on her and have her expelled and permanently removed from the game instead.😂 Screw "Souldrinker", that one got nerfed by rebirth anyways. Also, finishing Skink's questline will cause Trebonious to be fired, so you can take his job. Though he insists on sticking around and can be killer for his precious, precious loot. Afterwards I got the telvanni quest to overturn a monopol of the mages guild. The same Rhanys insisted on enforcing.😅
It's kinda sad how obscure this quest is while providing the best theory about dwemer and newer fans unfamiliar with it come up with some stupid shitty theories all the time, the other games ignoring that quest doesn't help either, like wtf Calcelmo, have you heard of Numidium ? Are you stupid ? Go visit Baladas maybe ?
Feels a little strange that Hlaalu doesn't pay the most, but I guess they're taking advantage of an outlander. Haven' finished the video yet, though my votes are for Redoran and Telvanni.
How dare you point a spear at my subjective (objectively correct) opinion? Although my opinion is the same as yours... Does it validate your subjective opinion as objectively correct. But that's my subjective opinion. How can 2 opinions be correct? It never happens on the internet... unless we are... friends
If your Emperor doesn't don golden armour and wield a flaming sword, you ain't in a real Imperial Cult. 😤 What, fight for the Septims dynasty? They named our emperor after money?? Sheeet.
Every guild is inept at everything but at least redoran is trying The mage’s guild gave up and the telvanni are skooma addled mystics at best Def top 3
It's fine to go in blind. You can check key bindings in Settings if there's a need. The only thing I'd recommend is that you at least know the bare minimum of how combat works in the game. I'm thinking of re-making it, but here's my old (ancient) video on the subject: ua-cam.com/video/kE2J3cfy_4U/v-deo.html
Not _just_ a whale, but an island whale. Like the ones in One Piece.

My girlfriend is NOT a whale.... She's a Khajiit and her name is Ahnassi. She's my VERY special friend, not yours. Hands off.
I get that you're trying to trigger me into leaving a comment, but there's no way I would fall for that.

Nerevar was a badass warrior. He killed a god. Four of them, actually.
Telvanni have their shit together too, it’s just their goals have nothing to do with running a functioning government or helping anyone. Even if they were the only surviving house in Morrowind they wouldn’t bother with administration because that detracts from important tasks such as Dwemer museum curation, kwama egg artistry, shroom cultivation, and daughter wife cloning
House Redoran is a more combat focused house so they were the best fit to deal with the situation in the first place
It's interesting that we can't actually join the house Nerevar was part of, Indoril. Supposedly they mostly have holdings on the mainland, but still.
You forgot Twin Lamps faction, the baddest faction around only for real OG morrowind players
You disgraced the dunmeri heritage, leave at once s'wit
Damn dirty n'wahs deserve the chains
N'wah spotted
Claw your way to the top of the Telvanni and then do all the Twin Lamps quests. Always keep them guessing
"Trebonius is an imbecile. Which has no cure."
*me nonchalantly looting his corpse after our fight to the death in the Vivec Arena*
"Yeah. Damn shame, that. Nothing to be done. Not a thing."

Pharaoh soundtrack + Morrowind is certainly a combination I did not expect...

This works too.

I was wondering why eveyone kept repeating this. Thought i missed a meme in game or something.
