Exactly as the title says, tell me what your favorite Great House was in Morrowind. I played all the great houses at one time or another and loved them all, Beth did a really great job at making each of them unique. I've written a bit about why I liked each of them below and at the bottom, my favorite one of all.
The Hlaalu were interesting because they were willing to do whatever it took to get ahead, even if it meant playing dirty. Sly, witty, knifing, arrogant, and dishonorable, take your pick because the Hlaalu were all of the above and thats what made them fun to side with.
The Telvanni were old, eccentric, and powerful...not a good combination if you're their enemies...or sometimes even their allies...think Therana on that last bit. Their intelligence, strange cultures, mushroom houses, antisocialism, and love of the magic arts was what I liked most about them.
Ah, finally we get to the Redorans. The Redorans were the most noble and honorable of all the great houses. Their traditions, honor, and straightforwardness was what made them interesting for me to play. They always put honor first, even when it would've been more wise not to, there's the knights' dream right there.
In the end i found the Hlaalu to be the most interesting though, they were backstabbing, rich, snobby, power-hungry merchants willing to do anything to make a profit, even if it meant killing off members of the other great houses in order to do it. Their dishonorable ways made me feel like a complete scoundrel during some parts of it and I think thats what it was meant to do....I personally loved it.
Anyways please share your votes and the reason why the one you chose is your favorite.

Telvanni, is just as backstabbing as Hlaalu, Mr.Oven...and you forgot their extreme paranoia No but seriously, Telvanni is one of the best places you can get with backstabbing...say a Master who have a house of his own, and then there is a candidate that could become master, and would in fact gget the current masters house and all....when that master have an unfortunate accident, the one who can become master will get it all. Failing to wake up one morening due to a dagger or sword having been plunged into your heart/back/head, while you were asleep counts as an unfortunate accident by Telvanni. So yeah,I love Telvanni, they get the coolest and biggest stronghold...sadly though it is the most remote you could get. And I like the whole ideal of Telvanni....you have knowledge, you get power, through power you get wisdom, through wisdom you get immortality....nice deal....and then they are mages...I just love mages on principle, and having played the other houses, I mustr say Telvanni is the coolest house...

Yeah the Telvanni laws and practices were interesting I must agree. I'm kinda surprised that there were no votes for Redoran, they were a neat play as well.

I voted for the hlaalu. I like it, because it has missions that i like. Also i like the Cracius Curio. He is a strange guy, for a leader of such big House... But everything else is cool: the payment, missions, charackter feeling...

QUOTE(Aki @ Jun 29 2006, 01:43 PM) I like the Redorans the best. Them and what's left of Indoril are the Dunmer's best warriors, asnd noble/honorable folk. They didn't pay out much, but that's because Redoran is a militant house. You work hard, you have to be loyal because your morals/principle/whatever align with the Redoran cause, not because the Redoran cause lines your pockets. They were cool dudes. Though, I hate that first mission. Blergh. Nemind needs like, lessons on how to give directions. Or how to mark compassion on my map. lol i know what you mean sounds like pulling into a trucker station and asking for directions (without the accent ) one time i started a new file and was exploring for a smuggler's cave for a mission for the fighters guild and i found where the mudcrabs wer so i jus killed them right off the bat

Telvanni. It's not just how they handle things. It's the fact that they handle things with a certain style. To them, it's not just the victory that matters. It's the degree of victory and dominance that helps. Of course, you actually have to win in the first place. They just realize that the best way to use power is the one most effective for maintaining that power.
House Telvanni: Awesome, but Practical.
