The Entire Main Quest Storyline - The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (A Narrative)

Now THIS is how you honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned

[@liammitchell2540]

What a grand and intoxicating comment!

[@eternal6146]

I’m a simple man, I see a morrowind narrative of the main quest, I subscribe and like before sitting in for this dream 4 hour masterpiece

[@graysonfrost6774]

your playthrough made me play morrowind for the first time, i originally expected to not be able to play it myself bc of age, jank, no markers, etc, but i’ve fell in love with the game since

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s amazing! That’s honestly how I felt playing through it too. I thought its age and different gameplay mechanics would be difficult for me to get past, but I fell in love with it quickly too!

so true

[@MephistonCalistarius]

4 hours? By the sixth house unmourned! You bet I will watch this!

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s what I love to hear!! 😂 :) enjoy it my friend!

[@MrBrimbles]

Thank you man. Morrowind is a great game and it deserves continual attention despite being 20+ years old. I know you just completed the main quest and still have many side quests, along with numerous faction quests, and also the two expansions to cover! But please don't forget Tamriel Rebuilt.

[@ABardsBallad]

Totally agree what a wonderful experience! Really looking forward to the tribunal next! And of course!! I’ll have to check it out!!

[@interdimensionalcommunicat9750]

Something big that you missed out of is that Ghostgate has a vendor that is the only guy who sells Glass Armour, the best light armour in the game. If you knew that it could've been a really good place to stock up before the finale.

[@ABardsBallad]

Ahh I see! Well I appreciate you telling me about them! I’ll have to pay a visit to them still!

[@interdimensionalcommunicat9750]

@@ABardsBallad Yeah its really easy to miss out on because its in the Tower of Dusk basement.

[@zephh_sk]

People these days often say that Morrowind looks awful but I know for sure that everyone got spooked by a nix hound or ascended sleeper on their first playthrough.

[@NineEyeRon]

Can’t wait to fall asleep to this 10 times and never quite know where I am up to.

[@martinadikara]

not even joking, but right now you are my favorite youtuber. your contents are fascinating and just so calming. i adore video essays and your contents fits what i love.

[@ABardsBallad]

That makes me super happy to hear! I’m really glad that you’ve been enjoying the videos and that they’ve been delivering 👌

[@chrisstorrer]

Came here after Dark Lore Dash recommended your channel to me, and I'm now a subscriber! :)

[@ABardsBallad]

Wow I really appreciate that! I’ve gotta thank him for shouting me out!! :) that’s really cool of him!! I hope you enjoy the content and there’s plenty more to come!

[@malumvelus3369]

Morrowind was my first interaction with the Elder Scrolls series. How I long to be able to experience it for the first time again. I still play it, and still find new things, 22 years later. I did thoroughly enjoy watching your experience with my most beloved game.

[@Keiran27729]

If you watch this and are not subscribed what is wrong with you N,wah?

[@ABardsBallad]

That’s what I like to hear!! 😂

[@joetheman74]

Vivec is half golden because before they were cursed with ashen skin and red eyes the Dunmer were the Chimer. Vivec used his power to keep himself half Chimer and half Dunmer.

[@ABardsBallad]

Ahhh makes sense! You don’t really hear about the Chimer too much in later games eh?

[@Sol-Orion]

​@@ABardsBalladThey pop up in books but they don't really still exist anymore in later games. The only two still around, AFAIK, are Almalexia who is still full Chimer, and Vivec.

[@babygurleatsshickennuggits4201]

⁠@@ABardsBallad Almalexia is dead so now there aren’t any left. But it’s theorized that the Dunmer’s curse is wearing off. Which that’d be super cool if in the next game some of the Dunmer that were born more recently have been born with golden skin. And the player can choose golden skin if they’re playing as a Dunmer

[@Sulticune]

This is absolutely exceptional stuff! Your voice is clear, concise and on the correct side of calm without being drole or dull. The narrative is enjoyable, succinct without being lazy and perfect for relaxing periods. Thank you

Railing two fat lines of moon sugar with my girl Sugar-Lips Habasi, got a couple bottles of flin and some fried saltrice; bout to let this video ride and enjoy myself

[@ABardsBallad]

Haha I love it! I hope you enjoy the video my friend!

[@ChevyRob313]

The best and most well done retrospective on KZbin

[@themanfromerf]

Great video! Just discovered your channel. I've only watched about an hour so far, so I'm not sure if you catch on later, but I always make two QoL spells whenever I play a character who can cast them: A spell that restores your fatigue by 2-3 points every second for a few minutes. This will make sure that you stay at max stamina if you want to clear out a cave etc. Staying at high stamina makes sure your attacks hit and your spells go off. It physically pains me to see people with constantly empty stamina bars lol. A jump spell with 100 strength that lasts 1 second. If you cast this and jump, you go absolutely flying, similar to the Icarian Flight scrolls. This combined with a feather fall spell (all you need is strength 1) will make traveling a lot faster and prevent you from pulling a Tahriel and ending up splattered all over the place. I absolutely love Morrowind. I was in 6th grade when it came out and played the crap out of it and forced it on my friends too lol.

[@HereticalKitsune]

What makes Morrowind stand out is the landscape, that's for sure. Those big mushrooms and the adobe houses, unique for sure, at least compared to other TES games.

[@ABardsBallad]

100%! The buildings, houses, landscapes, everything! They have such a unique feel to them in this game!

[@dgalloway107]

I will be here for every scrap of Morrowind content you release. I think you will have a blast with the expansions, I'm personally most excited for Tribunal, probably due to inch thick nostalgia goggles in some part, but I've always loved everything about the Tribunal expansion. The armor, weapons, story, new zone, I was a big fan of the entire package.

[@feralampi]

Ngl you've become my favourite youtuber. I really enjoy your style of videos, always look forward to them! And so happy you've been playing Morrowind, I never finished the game myself, but used to have fun with it as a kid. Brings up such nostalgia.

[@ABardsBallad]

That really means a lot! :) I really appreciate the continued support and I’m glad that you got to experience the game again through these videos!

[@Liednard]

I'm always so happy to see someone discover and enjoy Morrowind, it's such an amazing game :) And very nice vid, must've been a crazy amount of work!

[@staceyfeatherston2120]

This is a very enjoyable watch, well done!

[@Darquine]

Dude... now I have to play through Morrowind again for the first time in years. And now w\o God mode for my first 10 levels like I use to. No PC for it now. Got it on Xbox. Well, thanks for the reminder of how much I love this story, in spite of the slog to get there. Great video, truly! Imma go prep myself for hurling my controller at the TV. 😂

[@plainluke722]

Best elderscrolls youtube channel right now - thank you for the content.

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

Loving this video. Can't help but feel you missed out on an opportunity to sing the entire narration. haha. As Bards songs are usually stories of heroes and adventures anyway! Im happy to see this game still getting love. High Fantasy needs to make a comeback.

[@Orome12]

I love how direct and straightforward of a narrative this is!

[@Giffsen]

Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this! For some reason I never got the notification for the full-length video and I saw you were doing Tribunal already so I had to check and I was surprised lol Thanks for thr upload as usual, going to listen this to sleep for weeks haha

Amazing job, sad I can only subscribe once! Your fanbase is gonna blow up in the future!

[@thecore8605]

What's this? A 4 and a half hour on my favorite story driven rpg of all time? Hell yeah, I'm in

[@DancesRainyStreets]

Is Morrowind really story driven? Games like Planescape: Torment and the Final Fantasy series (the old ones at least) sure are.

[@thecore8605]

@DancesRainyStreets I would say so yeah, since pretty much a lot of sidequests that you do in Morrowind are indirectly related to the main plot of the game, even without following Caius orders the game always is hinting you that you should really check on that nerevarine story people keep yapping about

[@DancesRainyStreets]

@@thecore8605 I'd say it's more about world building and player freedom, but the Nerevarine prophecy will be heard or read indeed, that's true.

[@Toxiking32]

Wonderful retelling of the narrative. Your lesson with the icardian flight scroll made me double over because that scroll will always make me smile remembering how many stories back in the day I heard of people splatting themselves. Morrowind is my favorite and my first with the series. So much depth you just don't get with the later games

For mages the best starsign is the attronach. Yes, the magica doesn't recover but you have some spell absorption. All you need is to summon an ancestral ghost then attack it. It will replenish your magica quickly.

[@coreybuchanan5193]

Ah yes the days of morrowind, remember the talking and trading mudcrab from the north? It had a prompt you could ask it about “multiplayer” and o remember the rumors and speculation from forums about how everyone thought that they would eventually release online play for morrowind, but then ESO was announced a few years after oblivion.

[@DancesRainyStreets]

I've watched the all the parts of the main quest line and maybe will watch this one as well. Have to say, Morrowind is a game that makes me slow down my pace, because wanting to play this game as fast as possible makes it all feel cumbersome. Not because of bad design, this is one of my fave games after all, but the game asks this from me in it's own, good way. It's not about respecting my time, it's about the world they've delivered that needs to be understood, for the best experience. An organisation like the Twin Lamps is a good example of discovering things on your own in Morrowind.

[@AbdullahQecibegCH]
