[@husky3g]

Yeah it's decent if you are doing a mage build. You can get better enchants on your own stuff later on but as a starting item it's not bad. You also get a leveled chest in that dungeon as well. The key is in the same container as the ring. You have a good possibility to get some decent stuff.

The opening music immediately takes me. So good man.

[@RobsW23]

I will sub for the Morrowind content for sure! I really like the lock picking in Morrowind, mainly because it adds a level of genuine stealth, its live so you have to pay attention to people moving around, rather than jumping into an instance where you can spend as much time as you like trying to pick the lock

Morrowind is one of the best games of all time man. Big ups for the video 👍

[@fightingfortruth9806]

Been playing Morrowind for thousands of hours since it came out, and I never knew about that axe behind the lighthouse. This game never ceases to amaze me.

[@yakhooves]

In 2002 I had a major surgery. I was on my back for nearly two months. I got Morrowind to help pass the time… I remember the theme so vividly, the nostalgia from this video was just awesome!

[@crying2emoji5]

Morrowind is simultaneously a very ugly & very beautiful game. I think it’s a little uncanny-valley-ish. When I first got this game at 10y/o I was so scared of the graphics I didn’t seriously start playing until a year later when my dad helped me get the skull from the ancestral tomb for that necromantic she-orc at the mages guild lol. For some reason, him walking me through that one tiny dungeon gave me the courage to defeat the devil, Dagoth Ur.

[@SomeOrdinaryJoe]

I remember playing Morrowind as a pre-teen on my Xbox 360, i didn't know what I was doing and im not even sure if i enjoyed the game 😭 I've since came around on it, and yeah the grafix are really...crunchy?

In order to steal that key, even if he's closer to you, open your inventory. Pick it up. Put it back on the shelf. Then close your inventory.

[@adrianguinn3331]

My favorite build is anything with luck as a focus, making it start at 50, then spend the first 25 levels doing a 5/5/1 approach, putting a point into luck every level up. When you get to 75 luck the game becomes a Benny Hill skit. It's hilarious. One of my favorite things to do. Period. Not even just in video games 😂

For a challenge, make a fortify health potion with a long duration and see how far you can go. Fortify health potions can act like a death count that you can't avoid.

[@husky3g]

@@deanreaver3268OpenMW just ports the assets from the original Morrowind into an engine that can handle 16:9 and better mods. It isn't a "remake" in any sense of the word, it's just an engine port. Skywind is still just Skyrim at heart as well. Which means that the mechanics of Morrowind will not be present. The magic system of Morrowind dwarfs the hell out of Oblivion and Skyrim. Having the game ACTUALLY updated with full voice-acting, better animations, models and upgraded technologies like ray tracing, etc. would be preferable. RTX Remix is a step in the right direction for a true "remaster" via massive modding but even so, it's still running 23 year old assets and it is limited by some of the technology of the time.

[@intruefaith7612]

I pray this game is never touched by corporate hands again. It's as close to narrative perfection as there is. Old and crusty, sure, but it's no more than a heavy patina on a fine, old piece of art.

[@JaelaOrdo]

Still the best in the series in my opinion, with Daggerfall and Oblivion tied for second.

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

Morrowind is 3d fallout in a manner of speaking.

[@husky3g]

Technically, Morrowind is 3D Daggerfall. Daggerfall was pretty much exactly like Morrowind, just bound by 2D sprites when it came out in 1996. Fallout didn't come out until 1997.

Shitty gameplay aside, how was it? Compared to skyrim or standards in 2024? What does this game do well that others don't? I don't know man watching this video devolve into a lets play isn't all that useful.

[@benharder7816]

Most people who have played Morrowind attest to its worldbuilding, exploration, magic system, and absolute freedom. For example, when you talk with NPCs, you can ask them questions about people, places, and things you have heard about. If they choose to answer you, they will help you learn more about the world and complete quests. The faction system is very detailed as well. The game also doesn't level scale, but that means you just have to be aware that running away sometimes is necessary, and that's ok because it encourages preparation and education for travel. Also, when you get stronger the ceiling is actually limitless. Like, create a spell that lets you levitate across the map, why not? What it doesn't do well: combat is its weakest part. It can be buggy and clunky. Many Static NPCs, but the environment still helps with making it feel lived in. Music isn't ambient (calm vs. Fight).

[@kokojack]

Gameplay is fine, it is basically a classic RPG (think Fallout) but in 3D and in-real time

[@evil1143]

@@benharder7816 Interesting, in a nutshell would you describe morrowind as a harder and less casual version of skyrim then? As a skybaby I have very little to relate a game like morrowind to. Also with the modding scene being pretty intense do you use mods that fix the combat issue you were talking about?
