Morrowind Main Quest Aborted

External Since: Jun 14, 2006 Posts: 2

Followed main quest diligently [also plundered a number of shirnes and
dungeons, etc.] and now find that Urshilahu will NOT speak to me -
despite having the Decoded message from Caias, getting the appropriate
potions/spells from the Fort and buying the poetry/receiving the
message from the Ashlander. They refuse to talk to me - so I must have
killed off someone or removed something that has affected the main
line. Is there a fix to this? I have 50-60 hours invested.

Thank you for the response - I went back and talked AFTER I offered the
gift - originally I was talking before the gift and it apparently
cancelled out the benefit of the gift. Thank you for letting me know
that the main quest is always alive.
