Morrowind Vivec quest...

Ok, this is going to include spoilers, so if you've not done this quest series, you should not read on until you've done.

Ok?

I've just finished that quest arc, and I have to say I enjoyed it. Some have criticised it, but I thought it was quite good. I have only one problem with it: It's WAY too soon for a starting character to be interacting with, let alone taking on, enemies of this degree. That is, these are Daedric Princes and GODS, for heaven's sake. My character took on and beat these kinds of foes and he's NOT EVEN LEVEL 10.

The main quest pits you against Molag Bal and his ilk, but it takes you a LONG TIME to get powerful enough to justify that. Morrowind sets you against the mightiest foes in the universe way, way too early.

This quest should be level locked the way the main Vestige questline does.

What I would have done is have new characters go through the original Wailing Prison tutorial, and the usual quests around Tamriel before getting the invitation to Morrowind. If they go there before getting the invitation, that quest arc would not start until the character had reached some significant level, say L40 or 50. At that point, they would get the mission to go to Morrowind by boat. That boat would be hijacked and what is the current tutorial would begin. All the player's possessions would be taken from him, but restored in the waterlogged crate the Governor gives us at the end of the escape. From that point, the missions would proceed normally.

Of course, it's too late now.

Well ideally you'd do all the other quests and delves and what not in the zone before to finishing the main Morrowind qiestline. I was about 25 or 26 when I finished it.

You can technically take on Molag Bal at an equally low level if you want to.

Indeed... the Morrowind main questline makes -way- more sense if you play through ot -after- the mainstory, as intended by the course of questings.
After all, the source of trouble there seems to be one of those hinted at in the discussion at the end of the mainstroy, the post-orsinium warnings and the "missing prophecy" relevations, yes? So it only makes sense for those to be done first...

That's what I did anyhow... well, still doing... made my new wardens take the first wayshrine to the mainland, done the coldharbour tutorial (Being a vestige also explains respawning after all) and am not gonna see them be back until they kicked Molag in his Bal...
...and done the morrowind stuff on my grownup characters instead.

The main quest is no longer level-locked either. You can defeat Molag Bal by about Level 15 if you do only that questline and nothing else.
