Old games ****** it up all the time. See Zelda 2 and Castlevania Simons quest.

I distinctly remember owning you over the directions being fine in the past

You didn't go past the ruins. You also didn't "follow the road south", you started by going west.

I don't mind screw ups like that. Sure, its confusing... but then it isn't like people don't give bad directions from time to time and you have to figure it out yourself.

Honestly, I would design stuff like this on purpose, but maybe attach it to gameplay systems (reputation, logistic recall failure rolls, etc...). Player gets lost, so what... figure it out.

"we gave him bad directions as part of an assassination contract… AS A JOKE!!!"

The good people of the forum know I'm right despite your weasel words :weeb:

Or as a "mistake", because we all know that everything goes perfect in the real world right?

If you're going to order an assassination on someone I sure hope you know how to at least provide directions to the assassination location.

Well, we would "hope" right? So what was the result then of the quest? Likely... confusion, then exploration.... eventually finding the location (possibly some areas along the way).

Would be a good means to get someone to "happen upon" an encounter, secret, etc... as well.

If you can't provide proper directions I should be able to take your money and tell you to pound sand, better luck next time.

It's a good thing that the directions say "go west out of town" then instead of "go south" :^)

Well, they did give the town, they just didn't give the right directions on how to get there.

Sure, you could keep the money, but I would likely put in a condition where if you do that, the NPC hires a contract out for you. Fun times!

I'd just go live west of a town, I'd be fine.

Why did you skip the first instruction? "To get there I must go to Dagon Fel,"

It's the name of the town

Now ask it why it went west from town instead of south.

Rusty has dedicated himself to knowing every aspect of Morrowind so he can hate it better.

What if we made this AI companion appear as a Pointer at the top of the screen? That suggested the best direction for you to follow...

That might be a good idea; it might also be able to tell you where to go on the map, so you can tell instantly...

What if we just install fast-travel mod, and it'll just work?

From those directions given, this is exactly what I did before reading the rest of the thread.

You cheated, the instructions do NOT say "follow the road south past Mzulft". They say "follow the road south past the Dwemer ruins". Hint: there are two dwemer ruins on the map.

I covered up the destination location(you wouldn't have these on your map yet). This is the result:
