TES III: Morrowind is AMAZING

Morrowind is a CRPG classic made by Bethesda. This is Todd's magnum opus and it is fucking great. You should play Morrowind. There will be spoilers. But tthis game is almost 20 years old so it doesn't matter that much. But you should play this game.

You swear too much in your video. Man,you find so many negative things you dont like. And yet you keep saying how much you like the game. And it 's Caius Cosades,pronounces like CosAdes. NOT a long e. The accent on Cosades is the a,not the o. (sorry,I get somewhat grousy about pronounciation of words. It shows whether someone paid attention in class.) Oh,..You can find a mod for decorating your home in the Nexus. Lets you hang stuff and put stuff on shelves,etc. Also,if you dont like the music go into your ini file and remove it or turn it down by changing the number next to the file. I've never gotten a game crash. We dont need to have Morrowind remastered. It's awesome as it is,..bones and all.

[@DoomGoy88]

The thing about good loot in morrowind is that it's VERY well hidden in dungeons. Often requiring levitation to even get to. If you know where to look, there's some seriously OP weapons and artifacts dotted around the map. They didn't make it easy to find because THIS ISNT SKYRIM. It's a ROLE PLAYING game. Not an interactive movie over which you have almost no control of the outcomes.

Dungeons have no sense of good loot? What in the actual fuck? Are we talking about the same game, where you can find game breakingly powerful artifacts in half of them if you're just attentive enough to look out for items hidden in nooks or high-up shelves where you have to use levitation to get them? The whole point of Morrowind dungeons was to feel real, there's just trash scattered everywhere, leftover from ancient cultures, but if you're careful and thorough, every once in a while you come across a find that can be a turning point of your playthrough. I'd take it any day over the infinitely boring leveled loot of Skyrim and Oblivion, where you will always leave a dungeon with a bag of shitty loot that is never interesting, because going in you know exactly what it will be.

[@Randleray]

Well, seems another one that should have stayed with other TES games where you get facedumped into the right loot chest by the game itself. Morrowind rewards the player that actually plays the game... which players of todays gaming just dont want to, hence the obsession with the slow walking speed argument almost everybody that just doesnt like Morrowind comes up with...

[@AaronJLong]

You mentioned that you can't join the Mage's Guild and House Telvanni at the same time, but that wasn't the case for me on my last playthrough. I was able to advance to the head of both factions, and aside from a small disposition hit with Mage's Guild members as I ranked up in Telvanni and occasionally being told off by NPCs for joining Telvanni I didn't have any issues. The main conflict is with the Fighter's and Thieves Guilds. Doing the Balmora Fighter's Guild quest to retrieve the code book will permanently lock you out of joining the Thieves Guild (the NPC won't hand it over if you're already a Guild member.) Since most of the higher ups in the Fighter's Guild are in the pocket of Vvardenfell's local crime syndicate the Camonna Tong which wants to drive out the imperial Thieves Guild there are actually two different ways of going through the Fighter's Guild quest line(s). You can follow orders, not questioning anything, and end up burning bridges with and eventually wiping out the Thieves Guild, or you could side with Percius Mercius in Ald Ruhn, getting his opinion on targets the other quest givers send you to kill and eventually rooting out the corruption within the Fighter's Guild while leaving the option to join the Thieves Guild open. It's a shame that there isn't anything like this in later TES games with conflict between and within factions that you can have any meaningful impact on with your choices.

Yeah, it's a bit of a juggling act keeping the disposition of quest-givers high enough to keep getting quests, but as long as you stagger your *advancement* (not neccessarily the work you do) for each faction, you won't have too much trouble. You can pretty easily avoid Ranis Athrys's quests which see you pissing off the Telvanni more, and your work for the Telvanni doesn't ever directly anger the Mages' Guild as far as I can tell. I ended up the head of both factions myself on a character I built.

Sorry that you had a crappy childhood. Me too. But before I'm even ten minutes in, you've blasted my eardrums out about eight times. Unforgivable. Learn how to edit your volume levels for fucks sake. And btw, both Oblivion and Skyrim are toilet water. If you want to play another genuine RPG, pick up the Gothic series. Skyrim isn't even an RPG, it's just an adventure game.

[@AFCAWorldBodybuildingArchive]

Right. Skyrim stinks and Gothic was for me the eye level alternstive for Morrowind 💪

[@AaronJLong]

For Morrowind newbies that want an easy time I recommend a Redguard, custom class with combat specialization, preferred attributes being strength and endurance, long blade and heavy armor as major skills, and alchemy as at least a minor skill, and The Lady birthsign. You will start with 85 endurance giving you a decent amount of starting health and good health gains every time you level. A starting long blade skill of 50 means you won't miss nearly as much, and there's no shortage of good long blades and heavy armor. You need at least some alchemy skill to even see what potions will do which is why I recommend picking it up as at least a minor skill even if you don't plan on using it. For your other skills you can pick whatever you think would be fun to experiment with, but you should be decently competent in combat from level 1, and you can use the ability Adrenaline Rush once a day to make you much more powerful if an enemy is giving you trouble. Once you get the hang of how the game plays and become more familiar with the world, you can branch out and try stealth or magic focused characters. Or maybe a light-medium armored Argonian spear user since the extra range of spears makes how you approach combat feel very different than other weapon types. Depending on how you create and play your characters future playthroughs can feel like playing a totally different game. I just recommend the long blade Redguard of The Lady to those new to the game because it is extremely effective in combat right out of the gate, and the combat seems to be what turns off most people who are new to the game. Then the game has a chance to get its hooks in them and they can then go on to experiment with other playstyles.

my first rpg was iwd2 and then i baught morrowind right after. so after a completely linear experience of iwd game i came to morrowind with a somewhat completionist mentality, one aspect of which is taking "talk to everyone - talk is cheap" advice to heart. and boy did it pay off. i mean, judging by numerous modern blind lps people with oblivion and skyrim background often assume lack of depth and just do not explore and hence get only a very superficial and basically wrong impression of the game. sellus gravious explocitly tells to pay attention and yet 90% of new playes do not. but those who do get huge return on their investment.

One thing a lot of people seem to miss (lol) is that hit chance is a 2 way street. There is also an evasion chance for your target. Enemies with low agility are easier to hit. When I have a low weapon skill, I just use it on slow, weak enemies to train it on the go. For example, if I am primarily a long blade user, but I'm trying to train short blade, I will carry a few daggers on me and only use them on mudcrabs, rats, kwama foragers, etc.

Oblivion is great and we all know it. Just like Morrowind and Skyrim. I'll never understand idiots WANTING to hate one the TES games. They're all the best in different categories.

[@Euclidiuss]

Oblivion is such a goofy game and the setting is comparatively more generic than Morrowind or Skyrim. The game has overly long quests that don't branch out in any way making it the least replayable game in the series. Oblivion also has really bad graphics and the only option is to mod them out. I cannot stand the graphics in oblivion they're not pleasant to look at. (This is not exclusive to character models. Everything looks generic.) The world layout is too big and your only options are walking and fast travel there's no in depth travel system like in Morrowind and also they removed a lot of things from Morrowind because they had to improve performance and load times. The game is fun to play, sure, but Morrowind and Skyrim have gameplay loops far more enjoyable. I was making an Oblivion video but I stopped because I couldn't cover everything I wanted to talk about I didn't wanna make a two hour long analysis of the game because that's too much work for me. Especially now when I'm rising to prominence in the Doom and Quake mapping community. I have too much to do now to cover oblivion.

[@void9399]

@@Euclidiuss The fact that a game has a more generic aesthetic does not necessarily make it bad. In addition to the fact that Oblivion has a very interesting art direction, since it regularly looks like an oil painting. And the Elder Scrolls games have never focused on having quests that have different paths to take, almost all of their quests are linear. Although Oblivion usually have a plot for each of them, unlike Morrowind, which are mostly fetch quests. In addition to both Oblivion and Skyrim implementing a general plot in their guilds, unlike Morrowind, which usually lacks plots in their guilds. All Elder Scrolls games have poor graphics, as the games are too demanding due to their open worlds and mechanics. And Morrowind also has serious problems creating characters, since it only has certain pre-designed faces and hairstyles. And many of those faces lack a lot of detail. There are some that stand out, but there are others that seem like they did it at the last minute of finishing the game. It doesn't make sense for you to complain that the world is “too big”, when the game is an open world and sandbox. Not to mention that the game has the speed attribute and the athletics ability, which require you to be constantly walking and swimming. And this also exists in Morrowind. The only negative point is the lack of means of transportation, but it cannot be forgotten that horses were implemented in Oblivion, something that Morrowind did not have. And it doesn't make much sense for you to complain about removing various things, since you explained that it was done to improve performance and load times. It is a matter of cost/benefit. You lose something to get something in return. It is quite subjective to say that the gameplay loop is more fun in Morrowind and Skyrim. Especially if you consider that Morrowind has severe problems, such as the character's speed, which is extremely slow. And that many skills level up very slowly, so you need to use grinding to increase them, or pay a teacher to help you level up. An example of this are all magic abilities, because if you miss a spell you spend mana, and you don't get that mana back unless you rest. Basically Morrowind has a circular logic with his abilities: A) To be better in your skills you need to have a high level B) To level up you need to successfully occupy your skills C) To successfully use your skills you need to have a high level Do you see the error? That makes leveling up extremely tedious. That's not to say that Oblivion (or Skyrim) are without problems, but Morrowind has plenty of gameplay downsides.

[@AVGVSTVS219]

Great video do one on Oblivion at least!

[@Euclidiuss]

I can try. I haven't even finished Oblivion or even played it for more than six hours. Also, it won't be up for a long time. I haven't been able to even make progress on videos lately.

The one mod I installed to take care of the reading "problem" in this game was Voices of Vvanderfell. 10/10 won't read again

Back in the day, (I was a Freshman in HS in 2003 when I started Morrowind on the SexBox), we really played this one into the ground. FWIW, the only content you cannot access on a single playthrough, factionwise, is two of the three Great House chains. With proper fenagling and progression, you can absolutely hit the top of every guild in a single playthrough, including the seemingly wholly at-odds Fighters and Thieves guild questlines. And, at any rate, missing out on two of the Great House chains is NBD anyway, because if you aren't choosing Telvanni, you should be. Short build guide to being God (how can you kill a god? Spoiler: You can't): Play as a Dunmer with focus on Strength and Intelligence. Major skills in Acrobatics, Illusion, Blunt, and Alteration. Minors can be whatever you'd like, but choosing a type of armor and sneak is a good way to go. First you get good enough to hit like half the time with a hammer, then you get the ability to cast a Chameleon 100 spell for 1 to 2 seconds. Following that, go to Vivec and grind Ordinators for that expensive ass gear-- this is done by using the Chameleon spell to get you that sweet bonus damage. If you fail and get caught, use the most overpowered ability the Elder Scrolls gives the player, even to this day: The ability to reverse time by reloading. With just a minimum of skill, you can one shot those bastards every time.. Pay for training. Repeat. Recommended weapon is Skullbash, which can be gotten from a Daedric Shrine under a tomb near Sadrith Mora. You will need a Locksplitter scroll or two to open the lock 100 chests/doors, and some form of levitation-- although there is a pair of levitation boots in the dungeon, IIRC. Doing this, and just jumping everywhere the whole time, you can have a hooked up character within a few hours of creation, ready to take on the whole rest of the game. Just make sure to level selectively and appropriately, only when you have 3 skills at the X5 bonus. The training you can pay for using the money you make off Ordinator gear is a great way to guarantee those stat bonuses. Of course, you could always just cheese potions, but I never bothered. This way isn't exactly the most "natural" either, but at least it feels better than outright exploiting the system. I eventually got it down to a science, and the friend I had who died to a scrib after hours of wandering marveled at how I reached level 20 in half the time it took him to get that far. Once you have the money, you can basically do anything by paying for enough training in that skill, so there are no limits. Things only get a little dicey there when you need to access some of the more obscure trainers that start hostile to you upon seeing you-- there is another reason for the illusion spell focus, because without the CALM spell you 100% miss content by killing everyone that is hostile. For instance, the master enchanting trainer is in an old Dunmer Stronghold near the edge of the Grazelands on the border of the Telvanni lands, south of Vos-- he spawns as hostile. Other tip is to just jump everywhere-- eventually you will get good at it, and with the aid of a Jump 100 spell, you can clear the map in a single bound. Most recent playthrough I added the mod that delimits your spell making ability and allows you to fortify over 100. Gotta say it was rather nice to be able to tweak my jump spell into 3 jump spells of varying strength based on how far I needed to go from my start point for any given objective. It never stops being satisfying when you fall from an absurd height and take no damage because of your insane Acro skill. The sickening CRUNCH noise it makes when you hit the ground makes my knees hurt IRL tho. I never used Alchemy in Morrowind... at all, and I probably won't in the future either.

[@BatistaInvests]

Morrowind's combat, stealth, and pretty much anything around all of that sucks bro. But the world is fantastic as hell.

[@Euclidiuss]

Except magic. Sorcery is kewl.

[@xxXXRAPXXxx]

Lol saying that chugging fortify int potions to make stronger potions was not inteneded. It was because in the past they did not handhold you like your creepy uncle. Not intended was soultrap glitch that can fortify your skill permanently into the thousands (just don;t be a warewolf supposedly it breaks the glitch.)

[@therandomdickhead5744]

Another great underrated channel. Nice
