Hlaalu, Redoran, Telvanni; A question

Okay, so I'm starting back on Morrowind. Last I played it I was 11 or 12, so needless to say, I wasn't able to absorb much lore at all.

Now though, I have an appreciation for it all.

I'm curious today about which House I should join. I surely don't want to join the Telvanni. I like Redoran well enough, but I seem to recall joining Hlaalu has some part in the main quest. Should I go ahead and join Redoran, or is Hlaalu the only option?

Also, what benefits do I get by joining a house? By joining Redoran?

Since you don't like Telvanni, in terms of usefulness Hlaalu is probably the most useful, and its my favorite :P

Their stronghold is right by Balmora, nice money rewards, some pretty nice quests, interesting people *cough* :P

Telvanni is my favorite quest-wise, stronghold-wise Hlaalu is my fav. Never actually did Redoran... I'll make a new character on Monday.

Dammit, Vanir...... I had an awesome daydream of me and Anne Hathaway on a private island. And then in the daydream you came in and murdered her, then asking for my hand in marriage.

i c accidental double post their

I almost always went with Redoran. Why? Because I almost always play with my way too well worked out character Agnar Lilorsa "Bronzebone" Adriel, who is a member of House Redoran.

The Telvanni stronghold is my favorite of all. Giant mushrooms are quite fun, particularly if you decorate your house in a normal Morrowind save, without the expansions on Xbox. I remember making some Telvanni shields into a series of shelves.

I like them all questwise, but Telvanni are much quicker and easier to first jump into, in my opinion.
Possibly...

But if my character isn't a mage... does that matter?

Correct, and unlike Oblivion, you have to actual be killed in magic to succeed as a member of a magic based group.

The farthest I've got with the Great Houses was when I had a character in Redoran.
I think I got to the mission where you start building your Stronghold.
