Morrowind's 12 EASIEST free player homes!

[@KittysDawn]

Turning the clothes in will get you very well loved by the local merchants, which is useful in it's own right. People will remember. Which is useful. Oh and the man himself will MOVE OUT OF HIS OWN HOUSE and be in the temple. Leaving the house vacant for your use.

[@Gitshiver]

Definitely a good quick stop for some rep boost for House Redoran hopefuls!

[@DanteInferno87]

I like getting the Balmora Council Club as my home. Once you talk to some people in town they'll tell you that the champion at Fort Moonmoth wants to talk to you, he'll tell you to perform a nice little bloodbath on said Council Club. Once they're dealt with the place is vacant and yours to decorate.

[@XSilver_WaterX]

You actually CAN have Caius's house when you beat the second to last quest where he has to be sent back to Cyrodill. Just wait outside for an hour or two and he despawns and you have another house. That and his mid-level clothes that could have worked if the reward system was better planned.

[@DontFollowOrders]

Hilalu ancestral tomb in vivic. Has a rare Neverine shrine. Bunch of loot holdings and it's lit with a table. Great for teleporting

[@Gitshiver]

Oh cool! That's thinking outside the box!

[@DontFollowOrders]

@Gitshiver Nah I searched and searched and then thought if I was Neverine I would have my statue in my place. Which I looked up and there is not many. So I checked the locations and it's amazing. Has almsivi shrine too. Enough storage for a hundred hours of gameplay. Has a back area with critters. I never go there. Almsivi out to vivic. Devine out to ebonheart. Mark it at the almsivi shrine. Feels like a batcave. A true home for the Destiny Weilding King of Gods. Also mournhold has a super good residence in the great bazaar I think. A fake wizard attacks. Then a real wizard attacks. Then the home is yours. Nice place.

[@NoMastersNoMistress]

TES3, a game in which squatting is merely another part of the game... especially if you're playing a necromancer character. It's certainly more realistic than Viking Circle Jerk's absurd re-spawning mechanics. In TES 3 you clear out a smuggler cave and just take it over if you want a personal stronghold for weird magical experiments.

[@bluegum6438]

I don't know why Bethesda thinks you'd want to clear out a location more than once per playthrough.

[@jacobdill4499]

It is so they can use the radiant quest system to send you back to the same areas again to pick up some random item. I am not a fan of that quest.

[@draggidoo]

My first ever playthru, I handplaced everything on top of Caius's house. Once there were a few hundred items up there, a Loot Bag spawned in. Just an infinite cloth bag, super useful.

[@Gitshiver]

That's awesome!

[@monsieurdorgat6864]

Wait lol did you or a mod spawn in the loot bag? Or did you just find one?

[@thomaskinsey3424]

Conveniently overflow loot bags spawn in vanilla morrowind after some several hundred items are placed in a particular area, def can be scary if you are unaware of this feature and think all your good loot has just despawned

[@Gitshiver]

@@thomaskinsey3424 that's really cool, I wasn't aware of that!

[@adamy.7053]

Arkngthand. Mostly inhabited by Named NPCs, once it's cleared becomes the perfect player fortress; Lots of storage, and space to place items(Decorating) -- Casting Almsivi Intervention in Arkngthand puts the player right in Balmora. It's the perfect home for any player.

[@Gitshiver]

Ooh! That's a good one!

[@JoeEnderman]

I hope to see someone do the same for Tamriel Rebuilt sooner or later.

[@Gitshiver]

I'm definitely planning on it! Biggest concern rn would be that I can't be sure if an NPC is important until all quests are implemented. And making sure all the NPC's are implemented as well, for that matter!

[@bobgrimes8618]

@@Gitshiver I know of the Andothren, Sailen and with the mod, a Tower home just outside Old Ebonheart. I’m sure there are others, perhaps modded in.

[@AquilaChrysaetos-fn8ms]

A great thing about the bedroll in the Census and Excise Office in Seyda Neen is that the Dark Brotherhood can't attack you if you use it. Also glad to see St. Delyn Waist Two, that one's my favorite.

[@Gitshiver]

Ooh! I didn't realize the DB couldn't get you there, definitely good to know!

[@MagicSpud]

4:28 hlaalo Manor with the lower case H. Even to this day that dude is still being disrespected by the N'wah community. Got to see my handy dandy St. Delyn Waist North Two, so that's always nice. Abandoned Shack is just such a good vibe even if a meh house itself

[@Gitshiver]

Sadly the font pack I got on the new machine is Planeswalker with two lower case "h's", but one is slightly bigger lol

[@JosephShemelewski]

I only knew a couple of these and I had no clue about the first one fresh off the boat. I first played morrowind a couple years ago on series X so I get to see 10 feet infront of me but loading is instant. Still loved it without mods

Murder in Morrowind is legal as long as it's a house war, legal writ of assassination or an accepted challenge, I would assume the seizing their property is legal too since greed is the reason for house wars.

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

​@@IcyWraith It's more like taking the spoiks of the defeated combatant

[@jacobdill4499]

In Seyda Neen you sort of missed one. If you buy the ring from Vodunius Nuccius and wait, he despawns. You can then pick the door to the level 30 lock and use his house.

[@Gitshiver]

Oh yeah, I forgot he has a house!

[@jacobdill4499]

Yep. I said sort of because for early game, the money requirement for this quest and lock dc might be a bit of a problem depending on the character.

Foryn gilniths shack in seyda need is my favorite, even after ive gotten full daedric, i always come back to my swamp shack

[@Ihrvondjaer]

I just always moved into the Balmora Temple, (the two rooms to the left after entering), npcs usually can't see you there, and it has beds and storage, and it is convenient to almsivi intervention there if you're in the area, to transport your loot to the city. Also I think I remember that you need to be careful what containers you use, if they are empty initially, they are fine but if they had random clutter loot they will respawn after a while (several ingame months), wiping whatever you put in there previously, so it's safest to just drop items onto ground or surfaces

[@x7y2k12]

You can obtain the house right next to Caius Cosades by doing an escort mission and helping your escort out of trouble.

[@Gitshiver]

You can also get the house on the other side of him after completing Mephala's Quest!

[@garrick3727]

I've played Morrowind many times and I never stumbled upon that vacant apartment in Vivec. That's a really good location because almost everywhere connects to Vivec.

[@Gitshiver]

It took forever for me too, but now it's one of my most used homes!

[@roguenine9LU]

You forgot the best option in Caldera, Ghorak Manner. While it's occupied by 5 Orcs, they all have a 0 alarm value so they won't report you for any crimes and more importantly the house contains the best merchant in the game, the Creeper. I typically cast Mark right next to the Creeper, that way I can pile all my heavy dungeon loot up in one place/on a body while I clear it out. Then after I finish everything I'm doing in the quest I can cast Recall and sell stuff to him without worrying about being too over encumbered to move. If necessary, I can just sleep in the house for 24 hours to let his gold restock.

[@RandallStevenson]

I remember one playthrough, I used the bandit cave on the way to Balmora as my base of operations until I built my Hlallu stronghold

There's also a Guard Tower in Balmora with owner-free containers and bed, so you can store everything there and when you take it back it'll not count as stolen. Plus, you'll feel important with that guard roaming around protecting your home (?

[@ThatOneAshlander77]

Jiub's face after that slight romantic encounter was glorious. I've always loved living in Caldera. Once tried to take over some stronghold or other ruins but it's seems hard to make em cozy. What did you give to Madres Navur to convince him to stay in his basement?

[@Gitshiver]

I was actually going to, but for some reason, I wasn't able to use the bed in there so I skipped it. Could be a "patched" thing in one of my mods, I've heard of people taking it over before.

[@Phantasm57]

Census and Excise is the only location safe from Dark Brotherhood spawns which can,be a positive if a player isn't ready for the tribunal expansion. Voddonius Nuccius has a house in Seyda need that goes unused as Nuccius walks around outside. There's a small quest with a cursed ring but after that Nuccius leaves Seyda neen.

Missed a good one in Balmora, there's the Khaajiit slave in gnaar mok or hal oad, you get the choice to take her to ebonheart or to Balmora where she will be killed, I take her to Ebonheart and the evil option has no other purpose, he lives right next to Caius. Probably do the quest first because you are hired by the camonna tong to take her to Balmora.

The manor with the body in Balmora is the only place for me cause i horde and that body is there and unlimited forever. Theres also a second house in Balmora with a never dissapearing body after you do Mephela's quest. That Morag Tong guy that kills without writs gets a writ of his own and you poison him in his own home. Then you can have his house and body. Plus you get a special piece of bread too thats different than all others. Almost as rare as the muffin lol.

one question, im starting to mod morrowind, howmany mods do you use and what fps do you get with ur specs? just wanted to know, nice vid btw

[@SuperCrumpets]

all you really need is openmw and tamriel rebuilt and turn water refraction off

[@Gitshiver]

The main ones on this build are Tamriel Rebuilt, Project Cyrodill, and Skyrim: Home of The Nords, but I would hold off for the first playthrough, the vanilla game can be a bit overwhelming first time through. I would recommend some patches, like Patch for Purists and Morrowind Optimization Patch. Also Expansion Delay, so you can enjoy the base game without getting bombarded with DLC. My current PC is running an i7-12700k, 64GB of RAM, and an RTX 4070, and I rarely drop frames, granted I have lots of graphics replacing mods too. My older videos were done on an i7-3770K, 24GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060, and even modded it still held up pretty well on max settings until I hit Tamriel Rebuilt's biggest towns. Hope that helps!
