Can You Beat Morrowind With Only Restoration Spells?

[@MehrunesMike]

Thanks to all who have left words of encouragement/feedback. The next video should be out this week and I'll try to increase upload frequency once I get the hang of this editing + commentary thing. Mike

[@Dinicorps]

Amazing run and hilarious deadpan joke delivery. Keep up the great work! Subbed

[@marshaltito7232]

Definitely subbed and notified. Don't feel pressure to put out as frequently as possible. This quality of content requires masterful craftsmanship. It took Michelangelo 4 years to paint the Sistine Chappel.

[@sirbill_greebi3811]

Wouldn't it be cool if NPCs leveled up too?

Oh now we're talkin'

[@experssion123]

Whoa I was wondering why I haven't seen any videos from you in my recommendations

[@nearthings]

This was an incredible run. I cried a single tear when Tarvyn made the ultimate sacrifice. :'(

[@DS-MartianManhunter]

You spoiled the ending for me and probably everyone else fyi. Jackass

What a spoiler this was.. 😭

Now you have to replay your games with 2 merchants and Tarvyn.

[@jetex1911]

It's a piece of hot real estate.

[@kriegsdorff]

This is way more inventive than the average challenge run, bravo. I expected you to just break the rules at dagoth ur and the heart, but this demonstrates way more system mastery, 11/10

[@Hidden_Fern]

Exactly what I was thinking, Ive never seen anyone beat Dagoth Ur this way def something other challenge runners should know about

[@mahmud7645]

And so ends the Legend of Tarvyn Faren, Slayer of Cliff Racers and Doom of Merchants, in the depths of Red Mountain, the Nerevarine‘s most trusted follower and impenetrable shield of the Chosen One, his heroic sacrifice will forever be remembered and his deeds inspired the likes of St. Jiub in his Crusade against the Cliff Racer scourge. Forever immortalizing his inspiring words “We‘re going to travel together to Pelagiad, right?“ or his famous „Take me to the Halfway Tavern in Pelagiad.“ In a tragic twist of fate, his one wish could never be fulfilled. To this day pilgrims of the Nerevarine Cult honor St. Faren by offering Amulets of Command at the Halfway Tavern in Pelagiad.

[@gostislavszaposki]

Legend says two statues were erected in Balmora for the Unknow'd merchants who wielded the legendary weapons at the final battle. Their names are not remembered, their faces forgotten but none shall forget their bravery.

[@marshaltito7232]

The eruption of Red Mountain buried the visage of these heroes in impermeable ash. Poetic, for these heroes saved Nirn, not for glory. It was simply the will of the dream no longer needing its dreamer.

[@JoeEnderman]

Poor Tarvyn. He saved the world, but paid the ultimate price.

[@Kevbo2040]

Some weird noise in the background told me to check this video out. Pretty great video honestly.

[@marshaltito7232]

Like Sun Tzu, this fellow traveler popularized a strategy that will echo through challenge runs yet unmade.

[@altermann634]

The ingenuity required to remain faithful to the challenge against all odds was just out of this world, insanely well done! Rest in peace, Tarvyn, the unsung legend of Vvardenfell. May afterlife deliver you to glorious Pelagiad that was denied you in life...

[@TheDipdoo]

I'm genuinely surprised that actually worked out, really interesting challenge. A good mix of dry delivery and genuinely clever lines with just the right amount of references and silliness. Great stuff!

[@MehrunesMike]

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!

[@mahmud7645]

Yes the scripting and footage used here was great. Awesome video structure. Explaining the issues with this challenge and how they were fixed flowed very well into the quick quips and jokes through the delivery. Your voice is also quite soothing, and pauses in narration helped to process the video footage and pace information in an easily digestible manner

[@Drugsanddragonslul]

I like the delivery a lot

[@marshaltito7232]

Agreed, delivery was fantastic.

[@Lars0n]

This was awesome, I love that you didn't compromise ONCE despite first saying you won't be strict with the rules. Very refreshing.

[@alexroberts4312]

Didn’t expect such a high quality video when I clicked on this. I gave it a like and hopefully Ill end up seeing another whacky challenge from you man

[@Stubhose]

Another wacky challenge from him? TF you mean? This IS his only video?

[@marshaltito7232]

​@Stubhose How can one judge the magnum opus of a living artist? These machinations are unknowable to laymen like us. In the great words of our forebears, "let him cook".

[@Steven-dz6zo]

I'd like to see this character continue the challenge in Tribunal and Bloodmoon

[@idontwantahandlethough]

...you mean Tarvyn, right? Because Tarvyn is the main character

[@Dalthos2]

How many cliff racers are you looking to kite? Yes.

[@sicksock435446]

I don't think I've ever seen the Neverine prophecy abused so badly. Great work.

[@ScreamsGeo]

Just Background Noise sent me here.

[@Makowh]

Maybe the real Nerevarine was the Tarvyn we've made along the way

[@bradysullivan6402]

I can't imagine the feeling of having to do the merchant scumbag run not once but twice through red mountain. What a glorious victory!

[@link99912]

I cannot believe the amulet of command trick worked with the heart lol. What an incredible run.

[@personaslates]

A man with no hair recommended this to me.

[@PixelPenguin77]

Goddam this was insane. Wasn't expecting that end game "fight". Pbly the craziest challenge ever attempted in this game, congrats.

[@rayne8005]

That was some big brain shit. Impressive run!

[@wbobeirne]

This was incredible, I've seen a lot of challenge runs that give up on the final bit under the assumption you have to use the weapons yourself. I have never seen this genius workaround. Well done. @JustBackgroundNoise a challenger approaches.

[@younesakdah1803]

I see morrowind, but I hear national geographic. What a grand combination.

[@marshaltito7232]

Voryn Dagoth was the incorruptible companion of Nerevar in life, yet he became maddened in undeath by his loyalty. When the betrayal of the ALMSIVI happened he reconstructed out of shear will and the power of Lorkhan. Perhaps in a few eras we will see an avatar of Tarvyn attempt to rebuild the Akhulakhan and Nerevar will return from Akivir to challenge the madness of their ancient friend. Time is a flat circle.

[@generally_empathetic]

The algorithm found you, you get a new subscriber, and I get more delicious delicious Morrowind content ❤

[@Hugh_Mongus_Chode]

Just make videos of this quality and you’ll be a KZbin trillionaire in a year or less. I’ve never even played morrowind but love wasting countless hours on videos about games I’ve never played. This video is really good because i can just listen and still follow exactly whats happening.

[@Sporeman-ch2mc]

Well done. Quality challenge content.

[@NotOnLand]

Tarvyn hired a bodyguard escort, but got a personal trainer and field medic instead

[@chazworth6604]

Hopefully we got more Morrowind content like this and Just background noise. I didn't even realize this was a new channel until after I watched the video! Good job.

The ingenuity and commitment needed to pull this off are top-tier, well done. Looking forward to more Mehrunes Mike content

[@Haru-spicy]

Tarvyn has been part of so many janky challenge runs, what a champ. btw, the heart itself can be commanded and turned into a follower. It can't move, but if you also have a silt strider fast travel NPC nearby you can take the heart with you to see balmora

[@MehrunesMike]

Haha having the heart turn up in Balmora sounds hilarious. Thanks for watching.

[@lamedrawings]

This is the most uniquely solved Morrowind challenge I've seen yet! I was sceptical towards the end, wondering if it's going to actually work, but it did! Never knew the command spells allowed you to pull off stuff like this.

[@acedefective5410]

Great stuff, goddamn that took a lot of heavy thinking to solve that lmao

[@hosaepalvin9795]

this was awesome. i think a good final touch of ultimate "restoration magic" would have been to resurrect Tarvyn at the end using the console commands and then just pretend the gods of Elders Scrolls did it as a reward for Tarvyn's courage and bravery hahah

[@ka5333]

[@stekarknugen9258]

Btw old protip here: you can steal all of Galbedir's shit by first having her face away from the desk, then jumping on top of it behind her and crouching, the sneak will for some reason always trigger when youre perched up there and she's looking the other way. edit: all the way on the top of the desk in the corner is where the sneak hits best. She's got one grand soulgem for 60k and a bunch of other for like another 20k so after a few round at Ghorak manor you're ballin

[@MehrunesMike]

Thanks for the tip buddy, will remember this for the future!
