Where the ---- is it? I agreed to find the guy who owes a debt but is he in Vivec somewhere? Help! I've looked all over!

Follow the river southwest out of Balmora until you get to a swampy area then head pretty much straight west. It's also on the paper map that came with the game... but I'm assuming you lost that right? ;)

Lost it? Nope, I have it - this is how dumb I am. I didn't even THINK to look at it. Thank you so much!!! On my way to Hla Oad. :)

Alternately, take a boat there. You can "fast travel" (silt striders, boats, Mages Guild guild guides) to all but a few towns in Morrowind. From Balmora (I assume you can find Balmora, yeah?), take the Silt Strider to Vivec, then go to the big boat to the immediate left of the Silt Strider. Take the boat to Hla Old.

Town wise (i.e. not counting the camps), there is only Ald Velothi you can't fast travel too. Which does seem a little odd as it has its own docks, and lies by the Gnaar Mok to Khuul route. It isn't as if the maximum four destinations comes into play.

Additionally, you can Propylon to any fortress and Divine Intervention to any Imperial Legion fort (fast travel to the closest city, then use Divine Intervention to get to the fort).
In fact, I would count the following as the only key places that can't be fast-travelled:
Ald Velothi, Tel Fyr, the Ashlander camps, Ghostgate, and... that's it, I guess.
This is especially good if you hate being out in the countryside, as I do.

hehe, yep I can find Balmora. But being the newbie that I am, the biggest trouble I find I'm having in the game is finding my way around. Most of the roads outside of the towns are clearly marked and until I made my way to Vivec, I had no trouble at all. But Vivec! Well, I'm having some difficulties there. For example, everyone keeps telling me that the Mages Guild is in the Foreign Quarter (in the canalworks?). Can't find it! What am I doing wrong?
Skronk on 25/11/2003 at 14:32
Haha those Vivec cantons are a pain. You know how there is a door on the outside in an archway on opposite sides of the cantons? Well, to both sides of the door, there are ramps going up. It's really easy to miss, gave me a few problems at first too, even after I knew the ramps were there. The foreign quarter canton is bigger than the others also, I think you have to go up 2 ramps.
Christi19 on 25/11/2003 at 14:53
Hmmm, okay I'll look for those ramps. Are we talking like when we're inside the building in Canalworks?
Thanks for the help!

Outside the building to the sides of the door.
