@@Alltaer As others have mentioned already, there are two somewhat obscure traders in the game with 5k and 10k gold, who buy at full price. To get the full price out of a more expensive item like the Daedric Spear, you have to buy/sell lesser priced items back and forth. So, going with the example of the spear for 20k and the trader with 5k gold, you sell the spear and buy items worth 15k in total. Then you start to sell back those items in chunks of 5k gold. It can be tedious, especially if the lower priced items aren't worth much, but that's about the only method to get the full price for an item like that.

That is one thing about super high value items. It’s valuable, but so what? If you can’t sell it or trade it, what’s the point? It was sad to see the Daedric spear go.

This episode was brilliant, it had me chuckling throughout although at the end, when discussing that first mission with the Imperial Legion I felt the same way Jon did.
When I played Morrowind at launch, six million years ago on a crappy 14-inch CRT TV... I remember arriving in Gnisis for the first time... It gave me a sense of such bleak wonder - and I felt it when I saw you walk into town just now. What a game ! I beseech Vice that Elder Scrolls VI will be a little more like Morrowind.
@@sprink88 Unfortunately on rails games are what corporations want to -shat- release nowadays. That's why so many AAA RPGs flop. I fear for TES6, also for GTA6. I just hope Veilguard flops so bad, EA wakes up to what fans want before they ruin next ME.
Didn't forget that viel guard is the result of EA "waking up" after anthem. Game did so bad they scraped dragon age... Wolf something. (Course that was gonna be a life service dragonage,lol)
@DibsAtraiyu They didn't scrap Dreadwolf completely, they reused it's corpse to make Veilguard. Rumors claim the latter is on track to flop as bad as Suicide Squad, which burned cool 200 million $, WB CEO admitted it. If that comes true, there is SOME hope for ME, because EA loves $ more than any corporation in the universe. I have no hope for TES6. None whatsoever.
Holy crap! I totally forgot that dude standing in the river in my game! I came across him the same way Jon did and I was like "I'll be right back, I promise, give me a sec" and then forgot! Ah no, he's been standing there waiting for some pants for a WHILE!
While i do love that every single existing NPC has a name (instead of just bandit) it does create a weird situation when you meet a group and they just all start attacking you.
Interestingly enough, their long, weird names clue you in to the fact that they're Ashlanders, who all have a similar naming scheme. And the fact that they're all women indicates that they're mabrigash- Ashlander outcasts who formed what's basically a coven to attack men with magic and steal their power. Of course, Aria's not a man, but Ashlanders are quite racist, too.
Learn the Almsivi Intervention and Divine intervention spells asap. They're cheap and teleport you straight to civilisation. Don't forget to get the guy's pants back!
@@couplingrhino alternatively he could just do quest for mages guild in Ald'rhun and get them in amulet form which to me is much better if you don't spec into mysticism
@@senhowler I think he's a bit reluctant to use fast travel at this point in the series when he's still learning the lay of the land, so he probably didn't want to Recall back to Balmora and then Silt Strider right back to Gnisis even though that takes almost no time. Divine Intervention wouldn't have helped since nobody in Gnisis can give you any kind of return on an item of that cost, and even Ald'ruhn is surprisingly bad for shopping despite being a house seat.
@@senhowler The Intervention spells are made to get you to civilisation. The Mark/Recall spells can then be cast back in the dungeon you're emptying out. It's also useful for returning to quest givers and that sort of thing.
So Jon an important difference between Morrowind and other Elder Scrolls games. Their is a fixed amount of Daedric gear and it is incredibly rare. There's 1-3 copies of each item across the entire game including expansions.
Jon if you like Gnisis you're going to love Aldruhn. And I think you'll enjoy finding out what those buildings are made of! Also, you really should explore the interior buildings in Caldera.
With great loot like that spear, don't forget about that mark you set at Balmora. You could always drop it off with Cosades to hold for you until you find a good trader to take it off your hands, or hold onto it if you wanted to start a collection of all the best treasures of your travels.
…also handily solves the issue of being overencumbered, although in this case, that would have been better solved by selling off the bajillion small but heavy items that he's carrying around for no good reason. Like all the alchemy stuff that also should rest on a table somewhere, not go on the road and eat into loot space. :D

@Nightweaver1, there is a quest involved there, actually! If Jon finds a certian Daedric shrine under water, the person he needs to finish that quest is in that house!
Jon, just so you know the wealthiest merchant in all of Morrowind has 10 thousand gold, so you just straight up can't get what a daedric anything is worth.
Not quite true. Once you get into enchanting, if you go to an enchanter that also has a barter tab you can get something enchanted with an expensive enchant and then trade stuff like daedric gear to get the majority of the money back that you paid for the enchanting services.
Re: The Building Style: There are 5 great houses in Morrowind: House Redoran, House Telvanni, House Hlaalu, House Indoril, and House Dres. Each settlement under their control has different architectural style. Balmora is Hlaalu, and Gnisis is Redoran style.
There are only two traders that come anywhere close to being able to buy that spear, but I can't tell you because it would be a massive spoiler! Blight doesn't make creatures stronger, it just makes them a disease risk.
@@varthaner4617 yeah, its unfortunate how much people just want Jon to break the economy as soon as possible. Let the man struggle a bit, its part of the adventure
Jon you boots of speed have a loophole. the blindness is considered a debuff. It can be romoved with any despell effect you just need to cast it after equiping the boots
@@loganclements9788 If he doesn't, he doesn't. It's kind of a semi-exploit anyway. I never figured it out on my first playthrough either. At least he can use the map as a guide, I played on Xbox so I couldn't even use the map and move at the same time. :P
Before you start selling all the Daedric items you find to poor merchants: Unlike Skyrim and Oblivion, they don't appear in random loot - well, you can find weapons and shields in random loot on Dremoras and Golden Saints, but that's it. They are hand-placed in the game and some daedric items only have one or two copies in the whole game. They are quite rare.
Daedric equipment is a lot rarer in this game than later games there’s only like two full sets of the armor and a few spare pieces. You actually sold the only guaranteed spear in the game. Thankfully there are at least some random chances for the weapons.
Please don't kill the wizard, he is needed in some future quests. Also be carful making potions out of kwama eggs. The potion's weight is derived from it's ingredients so those will be some heavy potions. Good if you make them to sell but that's it.
Jon being so eager to join the imperial legions for almost 10 episode just to end up with "steal a land deed from a grieving wife, use violence if necessary" as the first task he gets is peak comedy.
In regards to the problem of being able to sell expensive gear, "M'Aiq has heard of this. They've got all the money. Mudcrabs taking over everything. They already run Pelagiad."
Jon - You need to touch the real mask in the Gnisis temple!!!! It gives you a very nice FREE spell. (Read more books - off 'camera' is fine - you're going to miss things otherwise!) And if you (wisely) don't trust the comments, drop a quick save before doing things...there are occasionally funny/interesting things that you can do that you don't want to make part of your official storyline.
Jon when people call Baladas a "Renegade Telvanni Wizard" they mean he's less of a dick than the other members of house Telvanni. He's a lot less xenophobic or egotistical then everyone except for Master Aryon. He's also essential for the house Telvanni quest line. Jon that area with the two winged twilights is for a quest late in the imperial cult questrline. You're supposed to be around lv 25 before going there.
I really hope Jon doesn't kill Baladas. He's not marked as essential, but killing him will mess up so many quest lines and lock Jon out of some of the best parts of the game
Everyone getting scared hearing Jon saying he'll sell the Daedric Spear knowing Jon thinks its like later games where theyre late game drops and not unique equipment. I think theres like only 3 of them in base game? Cant remember if theres any in Solstheim or it just has the pauldrons
Daedric weapons aren't that unique considering Dremora and Golden Saints can randomly spawn with them, so they are technically infinite (maybe not bows because I don't know if they ever spawn with those) Daedric armor on the other hand is very limited and in the base game, you couldn't even get a full set of it unless you killed a certain NPC who wore the full set sans helmet. It wasn't until both DLC that every Daedric armor piece could be gathered "in the wild" and some of the pieces were REALLY well hidden.
@@killean2645 In my recollection they do spawn with 3 types of bladed and staves, but not others. I do recall glass halberds on saints, but no Daedric Spear.
The chance of being attacked while resting depends on how long you rest. If you always rest for 24 hours you're much more likely to be attacked than if you just use the helpful "rest until healed" button.
Jon when it comes to selling daedric items in future just be aware there are some daedric items so rare that there's like only one copy of them in the whole game. Just bare than in mind when giving a merchant the best deal.of his life.
So i finally finished my play through of Morrowind (135 ish hours) have to say... It's nice to finally have ACTUALLY played this game to completion considering it's been one of my favorites as a kid. (I had only beaten blood Moon and got lost in mournhold before wracking up a bounty by killing a couple cities.... Boy child me got bored and lost)
I know that Morrowind is tiny. Objectively tiny compared any in a small satelite in Starfield. However. It looks so much bigger. So much alive and real even if it is bizarre. Sometimes less is more .
One day John, you will find the Trader with 5,000 or the one with 10,000, then you will mark them and never move your mark again. and you will play the game of "sell this thing for 20k, buy 15k worth of stuff, wait 24 hours, repeat till you have made your 20k.
Calling Hlormar "loyal" for waiting so long until you came back when he was the one that hired you for the escort quest to begin with. I think he just never bothered to try to invest in another chauffeur after the last one ran to the other coast at Mach5 speed.
you might regret the difficulty increases at some point. morrowind doesn't have much level scaling, the beasties you'll face just are what they are. so the low level thugs and wildlife you're facing now are easy but you will run into on occasion things much much tougher. its part of morrowinds charm that you start pathetic, then build up to the point the challenges that crushed you earlier are now the pathetic ones, then you run into greater enemies and the cycle repeats until you've ascended to godlike power. aaaaaand you've run into a bunch of deadra and proven me right.
Just as a clue, currently the trader with the biggest amount of money in its inventory you have access to is in Caldera. You might need to look around a bit to find him because he's not in a shop, but once you do you'll tell him apart from the other vendors real easy.
I feel like Jon's going to forget that those Exquisite Shirts are for a quest, wonder where he got them and why he has them, and then sell them, probably in Ald-ruhn just a few feet from the quest target too.
(11:13) You swore an oath to Zenithar, Jon, and in Morrowind, the Divines might actually enforce oaths somehow. (19:50) Didn't Jon have some kind of spell absorption jewelry or potion that he was going to use if attacked by a bunch of spell casters?
John: Why do I have money problems?
Also John: Sells a 20k spear for 500 and some hammers.
he needs to sell spear of bitter mercy, which costs 130k, like that
Question from someone who has never played Morrowind. How common are traders who actually have the cash for that kind of expensive gear?

@@DibsAtraiyu I did the full quest line in my first playthrough so I'm trying some new guilds this time around.
This episode was brilliant, it had me chuckling throughout although at the end, when discussing that first mission with the Imperial Legion I felt the same way Jon did.
When I played Morrowind at launch, six million years ago on a crappy 14-inch CRT TV... I remember arriving in Gnisis for the first time... It gave me a sense of such bleak wonder - and I felt it when I saw you walk into town just now. What a game !
I beseech Vice that Elder Scrolls VI will be a little more like Morrowind.
@@sprink88 Unfortunately on rails games are what corporations want to -shat- release nowadays. That's why so many AAA RPGs flop. I fear for TES6, also for GTA6. I just hope Veilguard flops so bad, EA wakes up to what fans want before they ruin next ME.
Didn't forget that viel guard is the result of EA "waking up" after anthem. Game did so bad they scraped dragon age... Wolf something. (Course that was gonna be a life service dragonage,lol)
@DibsAtraiyu They didn't scrap Dreadwolf completely, they reused it's corpse to make Veilguard. Rumors claim the latter is on track to flop as bad as Suicide Squad, which burned cool 200 million $, WB CEO admitted it. If that comes true, there is SOME hope for ME, because EA loves $ more than any corporation in the universe. I have no hope for TES6. None whatsoever.
You can touch the hidden ask mask... actually, you are supposed to, haha.
"Right. Hello, excuse me, please come back! I need wax out of your body!"
New Dreugh pickup line from Jon?
Holy crap! I totally forgot that dude standing in the river in my game! I came across him the same way Jon did and I was like "I'll be right back, I promise, give me a sec" and then forgot! Ah no, he's been standing there waiting for some pants for a WHILE!
Ugh, think how wrinkly he got!
While i do love that every single existing NPC has a name (instead of just bandit) it does create a weird situation when you meet a group and they just all start attacking you.
Interestingly enough, their long, weird names clue you in to the fact that they're Ashlanders, who all have a similar naming scheme. And the fact that they're all women indicates that they're mabrigash- Ashlander outcasts who formed what's basically a coven to attack men with magic and steal their power. Of course, Aria's not a man, but Ashlanders are quite racist, too.
@kc12311 god i love morrowind, even if i have played too little of it
Learn the Almsivi Intervention and Divine intervention spells asap. They're cheap and teleport you straight to civilisation. Don't forget to get the guy's pants back!
@@couplingrhino alternatively he could just do quest for mages guild in Ald'rhun and get them in amulet form which to me is much better if you don't spec into mysticism
Didn't he buy the mark and recall amulets specifically to get heavy stuff back to civilization?
@@senhowler I think he's a bit reluctant to use fast travel at this point in the series when he's still learning the lay of the land, so he probably didn't want to Recall back to Balmora and then Silt Strider right back to Gnisis even though that takes almost no time. Divine Intervention wouldn't have helped since nobody in Gnisis can give you any kind of return on an item of that cost, and even Ald'ruhn is surprisingly bad for shopping despite being a house seat.
@@senhowler The Intervention spells are made to get you to civilisation. The Mark/Recall spells can then be cast back in the dungeon you're emptying out. It's also useful for returning to quest givers and that sort of thing.
I absolutely adore this series. This is just the peak first Morrowind playthrough experience, and I'm here for every video of it.
"Dreugh....that's some kind of sea creature." Oh, you sweet innocent boy.
39:43 That's gonna be prophetic 🤣
So Jon an important difference between Morrowind and other Elder Scrolls games. Their is a fixed amount of Daedric gear and it is incredibly rare. There's 1-3 copies of each item across the entire game including expansions.
This is true for armor but not necessarily weapons since these can be dropped by daedric enemies
I love watching hours of videos at once. Being caught up is kinda strange. Good luck Jon! Love the series!!!
Jon, you should have touched Vivec's mask. It gives you a free spell. The mask can't be picked up.
Jon if you like Gnisis you're going to love Aldruhn. And I think you'll enjoy finding out what those buildings are made of! Also, you really should explore the interior buildings in Caldera.
For real that scamp is how you make all your money until you find the mudcrab
Oh Jon is going to love Ald'rhun
With great loot like that spear, don't forget about that mark you set at Balmora. You could always drop it off with Cosades to hold for you until you find a good trader to take it off your hands, or hold onto it if you wanted to start a collection of all the best treasures of your travels.
…also handily solves the issue of being overencumbered, although in this case, that would have been better solved by selling off the bajillion small but heavy items that he's carrying around for no good reason. Like all the alchemy stuff that also should rest on a table somewhere, not go on the road and eat into loot space. :D
I'd wager 100 Septims he forgets the Mark spell entirely until he walks back to Balmora and wonders what the X is. That's why I watch this series.
@@greenhowie Oh god… I see so many companions lost to intervention/recal teleportation before he learns this lesson… 🙈
I mean, he already lost one *by walking* so the tally is already 1.
Be Hlormar Wine-sot: get mugged by a witch one night and lose all your clothes and have your axe stolen.

No wonder why in Skyrim magic is taboo 🤣
There is a two story house full of orcs in Caldera. You should give your kin a visit, Jon
I don't think he ever will, if I"m being honest. No quests take him there, and he's unlikely to just explore a random house for no reason.
@Nightweaver1, there is a quest involved there, actually!
If Jon finds a certian Daedric shrine under water, the person he needs to finish that quest is in that house!
Woo! I love this playthrough
Jon, just so you know the wealthiest merchant in all of Morrowind has 10 thousand gold, so you just straight up can't get what a daedric anything is worth.
but at least he pays value 1:1
You can by a bit of trading shuffle, but it takes a bit of time...
Yes, you absolutely can get your money.
It’s the game trying to tell Jon to use the spear and sell his shield and hammer.
Not quite true. Once you get into enchanting, if you go to an enchanter that also has a barter tab you can get something enchanted with an expensive enchant and then trade stuff like daedric gear to get the majority of the money back that you paid for the enchanting services.
Jon: Sees the road to Cool, immediately turns and heads the other way.
Favorite series. PERIOD.
Re: The Building Style:
There are 5 great houses in Morrowind: House Redoran, House Telvanni, House Hlaalu, House Indoril, and House Dres.
Each settlement under their control has different architectural style. Balmora is Hlaalu, and Gnisis is Redoran style.
Magma when its in the ground. Lava when it comes out of the ground.
There are only two traders that come anywhere close to being able to buy that spear, but I can't tell you because it would be a massive spoiler! Blight doesn't make creatures stronger, it just makes them a disease risk.
People spoiled that more than 100 times in the comments already. If you told me it was actually 1000 times, I'd consider it.
@@varthaner4617 yeah, its unfortunate how much people just want Jon to break the economy as soon as possible. Let the man struggle a bit, its part of the adventure
"It turns out I am very, very good at murdering cocking demons!" *DOOM MUSIC INTENSIFIES*
13 parts and Jon is still allergic to the 'until healed' button.
Jon you boots of speed have a loophole. the blindness is considered a debuff. It can be romoved with any despell effect you just need to cast it after equiping the boots
You can also use night eye or resist magicka to lessen the effect of blind.
Don't tell him this. Let him figure it out on his own.
@@XDieKillDieX totally agree, the joy of discovering morrowind for the first time isn't something you should exploit your way past.
@@XDieKillDieX LOL I love the guy but do you really think hes gonna figure it out on his own? its part of the channels charm
@@loganclements9788 If he doesn't, he doesn't. It's kind of a semi-exploit anyway. I never figured it out on my first playthrough either. At least he can use the map as a guide, I played on Xbox so I couldn't even use the map and move at the same time. :P
Before you start selling all the Daedric items you find to poor merchants: Unlike Skyrim and Oblivion, they don't appear in random loot - well, you can find weapons and shields in random loot on Dremoras and Golden Saints, but that's it. They are hand-placed in the game and some daedric items only have one or two copies in the whole game. They are quite rare.
Gnisis uses House Redoran architecture.
I've made up my mind in my current play through of MW I'm joining House Redoran. I was in House Hlaalu in my first playthrough.
Daedric equipment is a lot rarer in this game than later games there’s only like two full sets of the armor and a few spare pieces. You actually sold the only guaranteed spear in the game. Thankfully there are at least some random chances for the weapons.
Thank the 9 for a new episode!
Jon make sure you touch that expensive mask. It can't be stolen and gives you a free restoration spell
You need a cheap light spell to explore dark places.
"I love the Gnisis architecture"
Aldrhun architect: *heavy breathing*
These videos are greatly hilarious. Keep them coming, please.
I love this series.
Please don't kill the wizard, he is needed in some future quests. Also be carful making potions out of kwama eggs. The potion's weight is derived from it's ingredients so those will be some heavy potions. Good if you make them to sell but that's it.
I was just thinking about how I wish there was another new episode of this series today
Jon being so eager to join the imperial legions for almost 10 episode just to end up with "steal a land deed from a grieving wife, use violence if necessary" as the first task he gets is peak comedy.
Al D'Ruhn has similar architecture, these helmet houses that have enormous underground lairs. But AD also has the giant mushroom/shell. You'll see.
In regards to the problem of being able to sell expensive gear, "M'Aiq has heard of this. They've got all the money. Mudcrabs taking over everything. They already run Pelagiad."
Jon - You need to touch the real mask in the Gnisis temple!!!! It gives you a very nice FREE spell. (Read more books - off 'camera' is fine - you're going to miss things otherwise!) And if you (wisely) don't trust the comments, drop a quick save before doing things...there are occasionally funny/interesting things that you can do that you don't want to make part of your official storyline.
Jon when people call Baladas a "Renegade Telvanni Wizard" they mean he's less of a dick than the other members of house Telvanni. He's a lot less xenophobic or egotistical then everyone except for Master Aryon. He's also essential for the house Telvanni quest line.
Jon that area with the two winged twilights is for a quest late in the imperial cult questrline. You're supposed to be around lv 25 before going there.
I really hope Jon doesn't kill Baladas. He's not marked as essential, but killing him will mess up so many quest lines and lock Jon out of some of the best parts of the game
It is Velothi architecture, Jon. Wait until you see the Under-Scar.
Joins imperial legion...
Is shocked that the first mission is classic imperialistic land grab.
I mean... This all checks out
Everyone getting scared hearing Jon saying he'll sell the Daedric Spear knowing Jon thinks its like later games where theyre late game drops and not unique equipment.
I think theres like only 3 of them in base game? Cant remember if theres any in Solstheim or it just has the pauldrons
Daedric weapons aren't that unique considering Dremora and Golden Saints can randomly spawn with them, so they are technically infinite (maybe not bows because I don't know if they ever spawn with those)
Daedric armor on the other hand is very limited and in the base game, you couldn't even get a full set of it unless you killed a certain NPC who wore the full set sans helmet. It wasn't until both DLC that every Daedric armor piece could be gathered "in the wild" and some of the pieces were REALLY well hidden.
@@killean2645 In my recollection they do spawn with 3 types of bladed and staves, but not others. I do recall glass halberds on saints, but no Daedric Spear.
@killean2645 yeah, like the right pauldron in a hidden roof in Castle Karstag lol
even worse... its the ONLY guaranteed daedric spear! He sold his best possible weapon for basically nothing LOL
Enjoying this series. I haven't played Morrowind, so I don't have any smug comments to make about future events 😅
Maybe you could convert very high value items into dwemer coins, if the merchants you sold them to still have them.
I looked it up, and you cannot take the mask even if you wanted to steal it. However, touching holy relics is a big part of pilgrimages sometimes.....
The chance of being attacked while resting depends on how long you rest. If you always rest for 24 hours you're much more likely to be attacked than if you just use the helpful "rest until healed" button.
Lol that Legion quest was right out of fallout4 brotherhood playbook
Oh dear, oh dear, John. You forgot to touch the Ashmask!
'Tis heresy, I say!
Jon when it comes to selling daedric items in future just be aware there are some daedric items so rare that there's like only one copy of them in the whole game. Just bare than in mind when giving a merchant the best deal.of his life.
If you love Gnisis' architecture, wait till you get to Ald-Ruhn!
If jon likes these houses i can't wait until he finds a Telvanni house.
So i finally finished my play through of Morrowind (135 ish hours) have to say... It's nice to finally have ACTUALLY played this game to completion considering it's been one of my favorites as a kid. (I had only beaten blood Moon and got lost in mournhold before wracking up a bounty by killing a couple cities.... Boy child me got bored and lost)
Gnisis' architecture seems similar to that in Hollow Knight.
For a reason too.
Jon, please help old Hentus get his pants back.
I know that Morrowind is tiny. Objectively tiny compared any in a small satelite in Starfield. However. It looks so much bigger. So much alive and real even if it is bizarre.
Sometimes less is more .
One day John, you will find the Trader with 5,000 or the one with 10,000, then you will mark them and never move your mark again. and you will play the game of "sell this thing for 20k, buy 15k worth of stuff, wait 24 hours, repeat till you have made your 20k.
He's been to Caldera multiple times but didn't think to check inside the houses.
Calling Hlormar "loyal" for waiting so long until you came back when he was the one that hired you for the escort quest to begin with. I think he just never bothered to try to invest in another chauffeur after the last one ran to the other coast at Mach5 speed.
There is a rest until healed button.
if Gnisis impresses Jon I cannot wait to see his reaction to the great Ald'rhun center of House Redoran.
you might regret the difficulty increases at some point. morrowind doesn't have much level scaling, the beasties you'll face just are what they are. so the low level thugs and wildlife you're facing now are easy but you will run into on occasion things much much tougher. its part of morrowinds charm that you start pathetic, then build up to the point the challenges that crushed you earlier are now the pathetic ones, then you run into greater enemies and the cycle repeats until you've ascended to godlike power.
aaaaaand you've run into a bunch of deadra and proven me right.
Love this Game.
You need to meet the mudcrab merchant 😁
Jon, you could have sold the spear for a bunch of less value items that you could then sell back to the vendor.
First intervention, not the last!
If Jon thinks that Redoran architecture is impressive I can't wait for him to see Telvanni architecture!
Redoran build their houses out of giant crab shells. Talvanni build their houses out of giant mushrooms.
JOHN TOUCH THE MASK IT GIVES A SPELL
The spear is not even that expensive all things considered, and no merchant is going to have enough gold to pay its real price.
Looks like those pants were Hainabbed.
Just as a clue, currently the trader with the biggest amount of money in its inventory you have access to is in Caldera. You might need to look around a bit to find him because he's not in a shop, but once you do you'll tell him apart from the other vendors real easy.
I feel like Jon's going to forget that those Exquisite Shirts are for a quest, wonder where he got them and why he has them, and then sell them, probably in Ald-ruhn just a few feet from the quest target too.
The game autosaves every time you rest.
Jon, those houses are hollowed out crab shells.
(11:13) You swore an oath to Zenithar, Jon, and in Morrowind, the Divines might actually enforce oaths somehow.
(19:50) Didn't Jon have some kind of spell absorption jewelry or potion that he was going to use if attacked by a bunch of spell casters?
