Noted. I'll track down the Unofficial Patch, hopefully it'll work with the Steam edition.

I can confirm that the Morrowind Code Patch works on the Steam edition.
It also gives a fair few options if for some reason you don't want a specific bug to be fixed.

Morrowind's MQ is great largely because, to keep it spoiler free, it flat out says at times 'go do something else for a while, then come back'. Important Stuff is happening, but for the love of god, take the chance to prepare yourself. And it isn't contrived.

And you don't need mods to quickly skip through the introduction and character creation on subsequent playthroughs. :v:

...What way is there to skip introductions and/or char-gen on new-game-plus-esque?

I don't think there are any mods for Morrowind, since it really doesn't take long to go through the initial sequence, but there are quite a few for Oblivion and Skyrim that allow you to skip the whole introductory sequence/dungeon and even have alternate starts.
Also, alternatively, one can probably use the console to teleport outside and progress the main quest to skip all.

Actually, one other route to finishing the quest is to look at the tax records on Vitellius' corpse. Foryn Gilnith is one of the people yet to pay his taxes, and has the greatest debt. I never realized you could ask what's-her-face from the lighthouse, though.

That jewelry Foryn said Vitellius was flaunting around and had bought with the money he got from the taxes? If you talk to lighthousegal you find out that it was actually a gift from her, in addition to pointing the player towards the culprit.
If you bring her back the ring, she gives you a few Restore Health potions, which can be handy to have when starting out.

Fishy? She's a goddamn shark! I kinda figured the whole guild was like that, though.

Nah, not the whole guild. But there are certain elements that are pretty nasty.
But killing Itermerel, while being the quick choice, is also the dirty one and could make things interesting down the line. :v:

And help him, for now.

I told you that no good deed goes unpunished

Of note for those that haven't played Morrowind, the "no good deed ever goes unpunished, outlander" that the Breton woman says before turning on the player is one of a very few unique voice clips in the game.

Always nice to have an update showing why cliff racers are so beloved by the TES community. :haw:

Two words: Icarian Flight.

I don't see why you don't want to use it: just pop a cheap Slow-fall spell when you are about to hit the ground/fly above your destination and you are golden.
It will allow you to bypass hordes of cliffracers, at least. :v:

I suppose I should start breaking the game somewhere, maybe I should start with alchemy (assuming I can get all the ingredients I need). A sufficiently powerful Damage Health could knock down anyone.

But why would you make a Damage Health poison powerful enought to kill Bjorca?
There are plenty of ways to die in this game already. :v:

Should we continue with the main quest or go do something else for a while, given that Caius has expressly told us to do so?

We could be respectable citizens and do some thieving, maybe? :ninja:

But even if we don't do that, we could progress a little in the House and current guild questlines as an intermission and then get back on the Main Quest.

Pickpocket in this game is supposed to be based mainly on the Sneak skill, but from what I'm reading it's bugged and the chance of success isn't affected by your skill as much as it should, unless you download the Morrowind Code Patch.

Honestly if you're doing the quest I think you're doing its better just to bribe the butler.

This is probably the best way of dealing with it.

Then I come back and kill him, turning the whole club hostile.

Funny thing about the whole "murdering the cornerclub" is that I would argue is ultimately the more efficient way of doing things. :v:

Edit
real adventurers are thorough :colbert:

Nonetheless you should consider visiting the fort outside Balmora one of these days.

You'll get over it. Even a severe case of Oblivionitis such as the one you're suffering from isn't a permanent condition.

It's Morrowind, after all: stabbing random Dunmer is expected.

Also you could've talked to the bartender further down the stairs from Habasi to have your bounty removed, I believe at a reduced cost.

Can't you just insult someone until they attack you, or was that Oblivion? If you don't hit first, it was clearly self defense and all legal-like.

You can, but like the other Speechcraft options, it requires a good level of skill to succeed in insulting someone enough for them to attack you.
