I love the complexity and layers of Morrowind clothing. Separate gloves is a lot but I think it just makes for more interesting characters and NPCs. There are all kinds of characters who stand out because they're just wearing one pauldron or have mismatched armor. Instead of Skyrim where they're all wearing identical full body costumes...

[@SpiderMan-gf1lc]

separate gloves is awesome. I remember having my dunmer dripped out like Anakin with a glove in one hand and nothing in the other. My character was super dope and this game makes me miss this level of versatility

[@nevadanate4957]

@@SpiderMan-gf1lc yeah exactly. It allows for a weird fluid combination of gear maxing and aesthetics (since clothes can be worn under your armor, but also can be enchanted and are therefore useful).

I find myself struck by that kinda revelation too, but I think it mostly feels weird because vidja gaems are such a relatively new medium. Almost everyone enjoys at least some books, music, and movies from before they were born. It doesn't surprise me that kids today are still getting into Biggie Smalls and Nirvana, so it also makes sense they wanna check out Super Mario 64 and Doom. Last year, a 13-year-old was the first person to beat NES Tetris, released in 1989. I bet it's only a matter of time before someone born after 2001 wins a Smash Melee supermajor tournament.

[@jakobmller-jensen8618]

@@Neuvost Agreed, that's a nice perspective. And honestly, it kind of warms my heart a bit to see a younger generation picking up these old classics. It's difficult to really convey how big of an impact a game like Morrowind made back then, it was like a tangible shift in the capabilities of the medium. If you played this game back then it felt like there was no going back now. I don't mind feeling my age, mind you. I appreciate being old enough to have the feeling that I experienced some important video game history as it happened. I think my dad probably felt the same way when I started listening to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath as a teenager.

[@brunobisio2406]

Kingdom Come Deliverance has a similar layer system and it's awsome, clothes might not give armor points, but wearing nice clean clothes in good condition gives you extra charisma points to get better deals in shops and a better chance of persuading people

@@isaacjohnson4123 I've never seen anything like the alchemy system, and staring out as illiterate 👀

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

Morrowind does at least have significant benefits to layers if you're an enchanter. Being able to have separate enchantments on a robe, shirt, belt, amulet, pants, skirt, shoes, two different gloves, and two rings at the same time is *insanely* beneficial, which is prolly part of why theyve reduced outfit complexity over time.

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

The only other game I know of that allows even a bit of layering that I know of aside from KCD and Morrowind is Dragon's Dogma, which has "underclothes" layers for your pants and shirt. It's still pretty cool though, and I wish more games had this feature, as well as Morrowind's total breakdown of armor pieces, separating shoulders from arm pieces and left and right arm pieces.

[@KingLich451]

[@Alfwin]

One thing I really like about Morrowind's clothing is how the different styles indicate not only different social classes, but different cultural backgrounds, as well. The more standard medieval-fantasy type stuff tends to be worn by non-Dunmer and people in very Imperialized towns, suggesting those outfits are influenced by fashion styles from Cyrodiil (and of course, the Colovian Fur Helm is explicitly Cyrodiilic - Colovia is the western half of Cyrodiil, so it's weird that we didn't see people wearing them in Oblivion). The Dunmer fashion tends to have a lot of loose fabrics that cover the entire body, and scarves that look like they could be quickly turned into a face-mask - sensible for fashion that arose in a land where dust and ash storms are a regular occurrence. And then, the native Ashland garments have a slightly rougher-hewn look to them, e.g. the Expensive Robe at 7:11, since the Ashlanders, due to their nomadic lifestyle, put plenty of care and effort into making clothes but lack the more advanced technology to get finer stitching, &c. Personally, I really like the way the shirts look on female characters, and I'm glad they didn't make the model change to something more "feminine". But, I've always been a sucker for women in Elizabethan menswear. I don't know if you've played Daggerfall, but I'd love to see a video in this style talking about the fashion in that game, too. It's got at _least_ as many options for fashion customization as Morrowind has, to the extent that playing dress-up in the inventory menu is one of my favorite passtimes in the game.

[@hedgehog3180]

I always love it when worldbuilding extends into aspects like clothing because that's often where culture is literally visible.

[@catariah]

One cool thing about Morrowind clothing is that NPCs react to what you wear. So if you wear a common shirt and pants they might tell you that you look like a stinky peasant, and when you wear very expensive clothes they might notice that you are doing well. I miss this a bit in Oblivion and Skyrim.

[@E-Bizzy]

[@herrakaarme]

@@E-Bizzy As ugly as its creators, or something like that? Does the bitter Solitude clothing store owner ever not to look down on the player's style? I know she's not impressed even by a legendary Daedric armor set with double enchantments and some daedric artefacts thrown on top of it. She still tells you to rethink your appearance before approaching the Blue Palace.

[@E-Bizzy]

@@herrakaarme yeah it was something like that. I wish they put more effort into aspects like that. Having unique lines based on which armour or clothes you are wearing would make the world feel more alive.

[@herrakaarme]

@@E-Bizzy If computer generated voices replace human actors perhaps for all but the most important NPCs, I reckon we would get no end of different lines. It would be easy for the game studio to write even tens of thousands of lines since they wouldn't need to pay voice actors to record them. Who knows if we are quite there yet quality wise. Robot voice KZbin videos can still be pretty jarring. But as long as every line has to be voiced by a human voice actor, there will be a hard limit in an open world game like Elder Scrolls with myriad NPCs.

[@hedgehog3180]

RPGs where the NPCs actually react to the progress of the player are the best. I also loved that in M&B Warband where you slowly earn the begruding respect of the nobles and occassionally they'll bring up specific battles.

[@mofumofu9004]

One thing that's really interesting about morrowind clothing is that there are a lot of items that are faction specific. It's harder to notice than rich clothing vs commoner clothing or dunmer fashion vs imperial fashion because the game never addresses it directly. But once you notice it, it becomes a really interesting detail that adds a lot to the worldbuilding and shows how much care they put into this game. Personally I only started noticing after messing with the additem console command, only to then corroborate that npcs were in fact wearing clothing acording to their factions. Basically if you check the IDs of clothing items you'll notice a lot of them end in _a _b _c _d or _1 _2 _3, but then you'll notice there's _h _hh _r _rr _t _tt (this is the house clothing), and _a _e _u _z (for the ashlander tribes). And so each house has two specific common shirts and robes and one extravagant robe and shirt (Redoran are easier to tell because they are all red) and some of them actually have the house emblems embroided. The commoners wearing them (almost all dunmer) are not necessarily memebers of the houses, sometimes they are just simply living on house territories such as Balmora or Vivec cantons. However house specific extravagant clothing is worn exclusively by house members. For example, the Hlaluu extravagant shirt is the golden one Dram Bero and Yngling Half-Troll are wearing, the Redoran extravagant clothing are the ones Athyn Sarethi and Mistress Brara Morvayn wear, and for the Telvanni ones look no further than Master Dratha's shirt and Master Aryon's robe (it's the same as the one you get from the falling wizard who was also a Telvanni member). And yes, other factions will entirely avoid all the house specific clothing. Like you won't find a single imperial guild, temple or cult memeber wearing any of the clothing mentioned above (at least I haven't found one so far). For the Ashlanders each tribe has one of each common and expensive shirt and pants, with ashkhans and wise women usually wearing the expensive ones. Ashlanders witches, the Mabrigash, also have their own specific shirt and pants (expensive_01), and both witches and wise women share an exclusive expensive robe (a brown one with pale red patterns). And again you won't find a single tribe memeber wearing shirts and pants from another tribe or the Mabrigash and vice versa, however some will be wearing common clothing from the houses, which I don't know if it's an oversight or it's meant to indicate trade/theft/abduction/fugitives etc. Ashlander clothing in general is really interesting because you can see the raw materials used to make them, which are all elements ashlanders would have access to like furs, feathers, leather and bones, or in the case of the Ahemmusa who live in the Grazelands, grass. Finally there's two more faction-specific clothing. The temple has a fairly noticeable one which is the cyan robe with golden stripes with daedric letters worn by high ranking members. I remember reading somewhere that the daedric writing can be read and it translates to Vivec sermons, which in turn explain the colors of the robe (Vivec himself and chimer/dunmer). The other is the Morag Tong which has an exclusive shirt and robe (the one Eno Hlaalu is wearing), both with blood red gems with daedric symbols inside. I don't quite remember but they said something about death in daedric, which is expected of Mephala fanclub.

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

Technically . . . ALL clothing is armor in Morrowind because Morrowind has the "Unarmored" skill that goes up when you take damage in clothing/wearing nothing, and adds to the defensive value of clothing as the skill goes up. Theoretically it's to represent the player dodging attacks, but it works the same as armor values of any other armor type in the game. This is of course, a skill I wish they'd bring back because it makes cloth options for wear much more viable, gameplay wise.

[@BSM_Kothri]

Something interesting to note about the Colovian Fur Helm! Sheogorath in Oblivion's Shivering Isles DLC refers to them as 'Arrowcatcher hats', referring back to TES3 Morrowind concept art which labels it as the "Colovian Arrow-Catcher". So there is at least one instance where someone calls them hats and refers to the style of hat, though it's classified as armor in the game. There's also some pointy fur-lined hats in Skyrim that remind me a bit of the arrowcatchers, but they're not kept up like a cone, and are worn more like a Santa hat.

Fargoth can afford the exquisite clothes, but chooses to forsake that for the exquisite drip instead

I think because he has the western clothes, and the imperials are just richer than dunmer so even their peasants dont generally look so poor. The vest shirt combos do look comfy.

[@99geck]

what's super cool about the clothing in morrowind is that the common and expensive categories have 4-5 separate items specifically made for the ashlander tribes! like there's a letter at the end of the ID, either a, u, z, or e, to show which tribe it's meant for, plus I think one extra set in the expensive category. i just think it's awesome that they went that far into detailing what each tribe would wear and making separate outfits for each one, even if most players would never even notice that kind of detail ingame (i definitely didn't until a little bit ago and I thought I knew everything about morrowind, lol), really shows how hard morrowind went into worldbuilding

As a kid, one of my favorite things to do was to wear a partial set of armor under common robes and walk around like I was a commoner until combat happened. Absolutely zero benefit in game, but I liked the roleplay aspect of it. I really fell in love with the white robes you can get from the End of Times cult in Mournhold, too.

[@Briver64]

Random, but since you mentioned layering clothing in Morrowind and how it's almost unheard of nowadays, there is one other RPG I know of that does it. Kingdom Come Deliverance from 2018. The layers are mostly for armour but most slots can take certain types of clothing, especially the topmost and bottommost layers. So you can have a tunic, then a cotehardie on top, then a leather jerkin, then a waffenrock on top of all of it. You can even look through any baliff's equipment and see "Oh, they're wearing a steel chestplate under their big jacket" Which makes sense because it's low key, they could afford it, and they're expected to help guards keep the peace if someone gets too rowdy. If you ever feel up to it, I'd love to see you make a video on KCD's clothing. I always really liked it.

With Wraithguard being such an important artifact that’s just a single glove, I wonder if that’s the main reason you can equip gloves separately, and would they have added that functionality without it? Too bad they didn’t separate the shoes and let you run around mismatched in those, too

[@antonisauren8998]

From technical standpoint, clothing by default have only right meshes. Left side uses mirrored versions. Shoes are the same and separating them wouldn;t add anything to creation/render complexity. Just design decision. Would be great for Sheogorath artifacts, forcing you to wear missmatched shoes.

Love this content. Elder Scrolls has been discussed to death (which I am very grateful for ofc) so finding fresh and interesting parts of the games to discuss can be hard and you absolutely knock it out of the park. I think the gloves were probably split up by necessity because unlike boots, gauntlets can be applied to just one hand instead of being worn as a set. It's great both for visual customization and, like you said, enchanting. So because the item slots are separate it makes sense for gloves to be split up as well. Interestingly I think gloves are the only clothing slot that cannot be layered with armor! Also, my favorite outfit combo: The character I play most often is mostly unarmored and dresses fairly simply so I go for black common pants and the red extravagant shirt, paired with a single heavy gauntlet and netch leather boots. I dress for fashion only, the rest of my build speaks for itself in combat lol

I don't know how much you've played of Morrowind, but NPCs will actually comment on your clothing, playing voice lines and saying stuff like "Those clothes suit you well, outlander." Also: Gah-Julan bonemold cuirass and L/R pauldrons, Native Chuzei bonemold helmet, bonemold L/R bracers, greaves, and boots + exquisite skirt, pants, and shirt is peak fashion. I can't remember if it's in the base game or if you need mods that let you wear gloves with bracers, but that's also the move.

It's also I think, the last game to have specific NPC comments for if the player is wandering around naked. With everyone telling you to put some clothes on if you're hanging out in your underwear (or in the buff with certain mods).

Morrowind-style cozy-gaming is my kind of cozy-gaming :) Meaning: there is an active world-threat, you go tangle with smaller threats until you make it to the Big Bad(s), and you retreat to your cozy shack / Vivec-apartment / hidey-hole for some reading.... and yes, for me - shopping in Balmora at the clothier so I could get some fancy clothes & enchant them!

[@Deathgearox3]

Expand your clothing empire to the RPG Genre as a whole and you will get a mill subs EZ, incredible Niche idea with a lot of potential especially if you start making some of these outfits and wearing them in the videos cosplay style. I saw your amulet of kings and immediately found it and sent to a friend who bought one the same hour, so thanks for that!

[@koldfire7253]

The only complain i have about morrowind clothing is no hood/hats. Other than that, it's chef's kiss

[@bright179]

Ah. Quality content.

[@veldin25]

I feel like diving into this community with this topic and your perspective could be pretty challenging, I really admire your hard work here

[@keira8466]

Yay 🎉 You bless us with this video ❤

[@zephh_sk]

I highly recommend looking into the main plot (probably after finishing the game first) because it explores some rather interesting concepts imo

[@ChodeEllis]

You could layer clothing and armor in Daggerfall too, back in 96 when TES games were actually rpgs. Yes, I'm old and hate the world.😊

[@magdalenakatanskaart]

I love that you discuss all the little things that I always think about while playing these games, but nobody really discusses them!

[@essi2]

I slightly worried about Angelika's eyes.. all that reading.. do tell if you find any interesting prophesies though

[@drakengarfinkel3133]

I think the reason left/right gloves exist is because Sunder is a right-handed gauntlet and that might have rippled out into the greater game design. Or the other way around.

We are here for fashion scrolls.

[@Rune_Scholar]

Your writing and wit are top tier. I can tell a lot of effort went into this.

we gotta support our tes queen! and this way we get to boost her content in the algorithm edit: fixed a typo

[@8Smoker8]

Holy Morrowind clothing wasn't expecting to see three of my favourite things together!

[@Julian-vl7vn]

12:20 that's right, cause shoes are for actual people and not farmtools 🗿🗿🗿

[@TheFos88]

Damn, bro went there 🤣

[@JollyGreenWizard]

Loving the clothing analysis as a lens into the culture of the games! The community talks so much about the lore, and this feels like an often overlooked aspect of the aesthetic and general vibe of each game. Also noodle pants for noodle legs

[@Quizzmet]

Be careful growing so fast, girl. Shit gets wild behind the scenes on this platform, don't get eaten up!

[@Angelikatosh]

I’m not new to this, so don’t worry, I’ve fought mudcrabs more fearsome

[@Quizzmet]

Then may your Thu'um reach the from the Earthbones, to the light of Magnus. ((Reach out if you play Conan Exiles too, fr fr))

[@GreyTide]

I really loved your Oblivion video. Glad to see you continue to discuss this topic with other entries in the series and excited to see what you cover next.

[@AROAH]

It’s kind of nutty to me that a non-native-English-speaking model randomly launched a KZbin channel about one of the nerdiest franchises in gaming talking specifically about minutiae that not even fans of said franchise would normally think about, and it’s almost immediately acquired an audience. It’s a bit prejudiced of me to be surprised by this, but I hope it helps in normalizing the idea that girls, even traditionally attractive ones, like really nerdy things, too.

[@calciumman5545]

Awesome video! It’s so great that a 20+ gem like morrowind is still getting recognition today. Even though it’s mechanics and graphics are dated I still think it’s the best ES game. The design philosophy (including the clothes) is so alien and unique to the game yet so charming and magical! You should totally play it. Again, awesome video! 👏👏👏

[@chadgoose7886]

Unsubscribed, disliked and reported for not including the colovian fur hat EDIT: Wait Nevermind, watched one second later. Subscribed, liked, and removed report

[@TheIndieOcean]

I didn't know I wanted content about clothing in Morrowind, but apparently I did. I'm looking at your other videos now too, and I really appreciate that you're covering unusual topics. There's nothing wrong with all the big lore videos, but this focus on details is really refreshing.

[@lorenzop.8249]

i get distracted

[@vedantyadav378]

Thank you so much for this video! Morrowind truly has the most unique clothing out of all the mainstream games. Having different gloves on each hand and wearing clothes on top of armour was such a fantastic feature

[@butterpants5711]

Men of culture we meet again

[@cinderbones]

what a weird way to out yourself like a fucking loser objectifier

[@abigaileldritch]

This one is for the girlies

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I love how you can combine robes with armour, creating some very unique and stylish outfits.

[@byrne8509]

are you a federal agent?

[@swetdainty666]

You don't know how happy it makes me to have discovered your channel. Just hearing other women talk about the Elder Scrolls universe that I care so much about makes me so so happy. Thank you, love you 🫶 (my first language is not English sorry if I express myself badly 😭)

[@NemFX]

Where can we see more of you?

[@TheFos88]

💀

[@Ae7herium]

Naaahhhhhh lmao

[@Kaboose666]

I just wanted to pop in and say that your channel has become one of my favorites. Having someone focus on the "little things" of the Elder Scrolls, world building, fashion etc. is wonderful. Loving your content both as a fan of Elder Scrolls and as a game master for tabletop rpgs who can steal ideas from your videos! So thank you!

[@XsomeoneXelseX]

oh my god i was hoping for this video when i saw your previous one. i love how visually different every tier of clothing is, and how you can tell someone's class/rant at a glance. oblivion and skyrim also do that, of course, sometimes in very fun ways (i love how oblivion takes materials and fabrics into consieration), but no other game differenciates as much and as visually between clothes of different price points. also i've always wondered what the hell that sort of red and white eyed spider thing worn by so many dunmer even is.

[@9robb5]

I didn't realize until I watched videos of Morrowind gameplay how the surprising amount of 3d meshes came with the clothing. I found that equally impressive considering the vintage age of the game.
