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.
