5 Morrowind quests that take the player on a grand journey

#morrowind #elderscrolls #gaming #bethesda
Today we talk about 5 quests in Morrowind that take you on a grand, epic journey. I selected these 5 as personal favorites.
"Mystery of the Dwarves" probably had most impact on me. Like I said in the video, I always viewed it as Morrowind's "secret" or "unofficial" main quest. Well, even the main quest revolves around ancient dwemer mysteries, so it makes sense.
As for characters, morally bankrupt Louis Beauchamp definitely takes the cake. I really wonder what inspired an author to create such a character.
I also used Voices of Vvardenfell mod to voice over NPC dialogues (link at the bottom). Originally, I "voice acted" them but then I remembered the mod. Thought it would be cool to hear dialogues directly from characters.
I also made a prolonged trailer intro, which I didn't plan but during the editing I kinda just made it. Sort of a celebration of my channel reaching 1k subs.
And speaking of it, thank you all for supporting the channel! Hope you like the video. Btw. I'll be making more lists like this one, so make sure to subscribe for more!

Bro wasted an airship and multiple lives on an STD amulet. Sounds like Peryite's doing

[@planescaped]

Yeah, the amulet of infectious charm being a daedric artifact of Peryite is my new head canon.

[@jarekwrzosek2048]

@@planescaped Could also be Sanguine's.

[@arifhossain9751]

Peryite and Sanguine were collab-ing on this

[@crypticcoastmusic4572]

Clavicus Vile also fits the bill

[@mauruhkatigaming4807]

I love the personal dynamics at work in the Disappearance of the Dwarves task. Trebonius is an incompetent administrator, promoted beyond his capabilities due to his talent as a sorcerer, who sends you on a snipe hunt. Edwinna Elbert has enthusiasm going for her but is ultimately a dilettante, who doesn't even know just how much she doesn't know. Baladas, funnily enough, gives you a more detailed answer than the actual Yagrum Bagarn will, as he is an enthusiastic scholar rather than the last survivor left after Kagrenac's experiments. He therefore doesn't share Yagrum's reluctance to talk about it, even though Yagrum is surely more knowledgable - he is, after all, skilled enough to make Wraithguard work even if you've killed Vivec.

[@RagnarokiaNG]

Don't forget the grandest quest of all, collecting clutter for the Tribunal guy, the Nerevarine visiting every trader in Morrowind fully geared for battle to ask if they have a red plate for sale.

[@reekraftwithak2734]

I did the silent pilgrimage by offering a levitation potion to that shrine in Vivec temple. Flew all the way over Vvardenfell, its a great quest.

[@Veruca73]

... yeah when I did that as a kid I assumed you couldnt cast spells as you where barred from "talking" with anyone. So I ran and jumped the entire way without casting a spell or talking to anyone it was quite something as a kid

[@ilari90]

I do it like that always, or going to dagon fel leaving a mark, but i appreciate this method of just doing it "right" and walking there. Once I flew there with levitation, was pretty battered by cliffracers, went to the shag the monk is in, and tried to sleep on her bed, it was a crime, got me kicked out of the order and such, had mark in vivec so it was unnecessary to sleep there too :D

[@evannlorman7926]

See I thought about doing that, but I ended up just casting levitate spells the whole time. My other thought was just casting water walking and using the Boots of Blinding Speed and running around the west side of the map.

[@picklejarmonsterfanboy9367]

the mead hall massacre has probably the best reward in Morrowind not the 50 septims a week you get by owning the mead hall, but the great singing Nord thag welcomes you every time also the breton scholar and sleepy nord captain surving the attack by being in their rooms and later guarding the hall was a nice touch

[@boreanknight]

I've been circling around the meadhall last couple of vids, really need to pay it a visit soon. It's been years since I played those dlc quests...

[@hideakiakio6698]

The airship on the schematics in Morrowind is actually an edited screenshot of a dwemer airship in a cutscene in the elder scrolls redguard

[@axinite2545]

Ennbjofs burial is a quest I still remember very very distinctly, from needing the matze to the the secret armor, the layout of getting to the ship. And that's over 20 years later. Morrowind was such a a masterpiece. I also always remember stealing from all the house vaults in vivec.

[@jamesswanson4085]

Yooooo bro.... That intro made my eyes water with such happy little tears. So much nostalgia... Good job dude.

[@HamanKarn567]

One thing I really liked was Percius Mercius always offering advice and assistance in the fighter guild quest line. He was like a good mentor npc for the faction. Bloodmoon was my favorite expansion also so there were a lot of awesome quests on solsthiem

[@boreanknight]

I love Percius! He's on my top 10 favorite NPCs video 😀

[@paolo5297]

The day we will finally have the TR main quest accomplished, it's gonna be great

[@boreanknight]

I hope to see that day. I think it comes last, after finishing entire mainland map and Almalexia.

[@goncalorodrigues1964]

I don't think TR will have a main quest. It will have several questlines, attached to the houses, maybe with capstone quests with higher stakes, but no main quest per se -- but I am not a TR dev, so take this with a grain of salt.

[@minerman60101]

@@goncalorodrigues1964 I am a TR dev and that was an accurate summary. TR will have a bit of epilogue for the main quest in addition to that, but yeah Morrowind's main quest was released by Bethesda, we don't need another. P:C and S:HotN seem like they will have more political main quests which trigger after you ascend the ranks of a great house equivalent.

[@lagarona851]

Best video out on whole of KZbin. Thanks for making this.

[@Gitshiver]

Those are all amazing quests, great job on the presentation as well!

[@K1ngCraft]

Fantastic video Borean! Covered m favourite quests too! You can really tell how much effect you've put into this one!

[@Kai.CRoleplaying]

Great intro, I always find your videos to be quite relaxing, thanks for continuing to share your love of this awesome game. It got me into TES and I remember coming home from school and spending 7-8 hours on my original Xbox just exploring and questing.

[@elvangulley3210]

awww the last great bethesda game the last true rpg from bethesda

[@An-Taeus]

Dorisa Darvel, Balmoras bookseller will lead you in Baladas direction. As will the Telvanni-fraction questline. At least one npc will say something unasked or hint you with the latest rumours about Morrowinds most hidden secrets. You have to read carefully to become aware of Boethiah‘s sunken shrine, already in Arrille’s tradehouse, for example.

[@v_voennov]

Thank you so much for your great storytelling and humor. It is very interesting and pleasant to listen and watch perfectly made videos. I like the mind food you cook about Morrowind. It's always very cool. And despite the fact that I do not know English and use a translator, you have one of the coolest channels on your favorite game and useful thoughts, in a wonderful manner of storytelling.

[@boreanknight]

Thanks so much for your very kind words! Morrowind helped me advance my english because of all the reading and I love the game so much, I could talk about it for hours lol.

[@v_voennov]

@@boreanknight knowledge of English is a very useful skill and it's nice that there is a pleasant way to pump it. And your ability to talk about Morrowind for hours will be very useful to all of us and great news, which means we will see and hear a lot of great content with excellent author's handwriting and humor. You're very cool. Thanks for the channel and videos about Morrowind.

[@ronwilson9815]

I couldn't help but laugh at the crazy way you approached the silent pilgrimage quest. All you had to do was walk around the corner to the Tribunal shrine and sacrifice a levitation potion as you had already done to complete the Pilgrimages of the Seven Graces. The levitation spell that you are then blessed with boosts your flying speed and lasts long enough to fly above the range of cliff racers all the way to Sanctus shrine and then on to Falas Maryon where the master alchemy teacher resides. If you don't buy training you can place a Mark and then fly on to the Urshilaku camp so you can add the location to your map (don't forget to buy the Propylon Index) then fly to Gnisis and Silt Stride back to Vivec City. The whole journey takes less than a day!

[@bravemoon2124]

Mostly I used the levitation altar for the silent pilgrimage. Combined with the boots of Blinding speed and the Savior’s hide (to reduce blindness to a minimum), the levitation effect was so strong, you could reach the island in like 5 minutes. But as I grew older I started to value precious moments, so later I preferred doing the pilgrimage the hard way: walking on foot and meditating just like you said.

[@ethanwasme4307]

I honestly can't stop coming back to this game and new vegas... my most recent playthrough was over 6 days on the Android version... literally completed every quest in every region and collected every unique item...

What I learned: Vivec is an absolute unit it deserves to be worshipped

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Don't forget the quest where you have to go to defeat a god in the name of other gods. By slapping the heart of yet another god. Inside a volcano!

[@jarekwrzosek2048]

You have to go across all Vvardenfell, and not speak to anyone! Me: Haha, Scroll of Icarian Flight goes Brrrrrr.

I just did the silent pilgrimage last night, I just took a boat to dragon fel , went to the shrine, cast " Mark " , then returned to vivec temple to start the quest and simply recalled my way back , OG tip 👍🏼

The one flaw with the idea of Dwemmer Airships is that those guys really didn't leave their mountains all that much. Maybe for short trips between their cities. It could be the one ruin in Skyrim, that had the large, above ground, spire may have used them, but I don't see them being wide spread or highly utilized by them.

[@seawind930]

Dwemer where in three provinces and both east and west coastlines.

[@joearnold6881]

They were all across the continents. Also even in Morrowind tons of their ruins have towers and spires where one could dock an airship

[@joearnold6881]

It’s so sad they just made worse and worse games ever since. At least another company used their engine to make a game of similar quality in New Vegas.
