Bound by love quest

Cletus

I wouldn't want to spoil this for anyone but I think I am at an impasse. I refused to do as the NPC asked, the quest still lists the same 2 options to continue the quest. Having refused the NPC neither of those are now valid. Is this an example of not being able to do as you want but are forced to follow the quest as ZOS wants you to?

@Cletus You're going to have problems in Morrowind............there's a lot of stealing keys, papers and whatnot. Morrowind is not for the honest, law-abiding player.

I am not a good player coordination wise. I don't like lockpicking to a running timer. I had to steal a document in one quest that required me to pick the door. I bought 25 picks, blew through 23 of them on a simple lock and gave up. In Skyrim LP was a fun task but not in ESO.
In just the short time I have played Morrowind I am regretting buying the expac. I understand now that the game wants to make me a thief and I don't want to be one. Just a waste of $60 as I see it now.

Yeah, this game weighs it up as such - the law is a fluid thing. Each zone, hell, in some areas each town has its own law.

Sometimes you need to get into peoples places to take something that they themselves stole, and you are merely being hired as the mercenary to retrieve the item and return to the rightful owner. They can't ask the local guards to do it, as the person responsible has bought and corrupted the local law. Its your turn to do the Right Thing morally and get the item back, even if it means upsetting the local town guards.

As for lockpicking, I have to admit that I have found its far easier with an XBox controller as the pins vibrate when when you get to the right place. Also, get your legerdemain up, and you can force locks, thereby bypassing the picking process.

In Tamriel there is no wrong or right. There is just a lot of morally grey areas, where its down to you to judge each case on its own individual merits and decide what the right thing to do is.

Does the controller really make it that much easier to LP? I have been buying picks and failing continuously since this post. I am really frustrated with myself and my lack of ability here. I found a controller at Walmart online for $15 with free shipping. This is made by a company other than MS. I thought for a minimal investment and for only LP it might be worth a try.

I think it does as the controller vibrates at different rates according to where you are on the pins. Also, overall, a controller makes for faster reactions and it just feels a lot easier to control everything.

Hmm, in what zone is this quest? I can't seem to find it. If you're afraid of spoiling you can put any specific quest information in a

hidden spoiler option

Was it refusing to assassinate that lady? If it was, you should have still had the option to take her the dessert. Not sure if that is the right quest.

The area is in the Sadrith Mora zone.

The objective was to buy Tirwin for Llonas Givyn. I refused to give the 3 red shells to the mother for him to buy her. Tirwin had said she didn't like the guy and only wanted her freedom. So I refused either option and now the quest does not progress. I really don't feel comfortable breaking into the mothers house to steal Tirwin's paperwork. The game keeps wanting to make a thief out of me and I don't want to be one.

At one door I had 4 pins locked down but as most times the bar ran out on me. Like most of this game it is a learning curve. I will get it eventually.

PC lockpicking almost has me quitting. Way too hard. I hear xbox is easier, never owned one. Everything else I like, I don't advise ANYONE to buy this game if they don't want to pay the monthly, game is literally impossible to enjoy without that bag. I just added Plus and much better.... still hate those damn locks, no fun at all, everytime I come to one, I end up pissed and logging off wishing I hadn't wasted the money....I wonder if they ever get easier with experience?

So you pay the monthly and have an xbox, game is probably great.
