As far as the 'vets' at the Bethesda forums, that depends on which forums you follow.

There are still a lot of old-timers active in the Morrowind Mods and Construction Set forums.

There are also usually some in the Lore and Past Games forums, although I haven't looked in on those two forums much recently.

As far as Morrowind General and the Spoilers forums: personally, I haven't posted much in those for two or three years. Too much noise, too much of the same questions over and over again, too much of the same 'brillant new discovery' over and over again, etc. I have a feeling other old-timers have dropped out of those forums for the same reasons: too repetitious, very little that's actually new ever being brought up any more.

Also, a lot of old-timers tend to wander in and out: play, mod, and talk about Morrowind for a while, then take off for something new for a while, then back to Morrowind again.

As far as Fargoth, I've never really figured it out, but here's my pet theory...

You get off the ship and Fargoth asks you about his ring.

You give it back to him, and he helps you out by putting in a good word for you with Arrille: raises Arrille's disposition, which gives you bettter prices.

And then you turn around and help some bully by robbing Fargoth.

Fargoth helps you out, and you repay him by stabbing him in the back...

Doing something scummy like that is probably a lot easier to justify if you pretend that Fargoth is somehow despicable, hateful, deserves to be robbed, or something like that.


Or maybe a lot of people just enjoy helping bullies pick on somebody defenseless.

Who knows!
