- I'll be taking on Fort Firemoth at Level 1. This Fort is a plugin that Bethesda released for Morrowind and I'll be attempting it from the very beginning of the game!

That mage didn't get lost in the tomb, dude. You just left an Altmer wizard alone in a tomb full of inactive skeletal warriors and a dead, powerful lich. You created a larger problem than the one you solved.
This is intriguing... What happens next?
Yeah, is that just a neat RP scenario, or is the mage companion scripted to stay behind and maybe come up with some new dialogue?
@@WK-47 it's only a super cool and epic RP scenario. All of the three DLC companions (minus some random soldier hidden in the Forth) are scripted to dissapear once the Shield of WhateverItWasCalled is returned to the guy who gives the quest.
He was sneakily the evil character all along 😁

Alchemy in a nutshell. From a broke weakling, to a rich god in just a few potion making sesh.
Resist magicka 100 percent for one second+ boots of blinding speed..... *balance*
Oh yeaj, by mid game I have hundreds of suped up potions and then I just become a perma levitating god head.
Soultrap Glich and permanent boosts to any stat in thousands- did anyone say anything?
"careful with that spell, mage" - you're truly role playing a warrior lol

"I have resist magicka as an orc!"
Fun fact, Resistance to Pure Magicka is near useless because of how weird Morrowind calculates magic damage. Technically elemental damage (fireball, frost touch) is resisted by resist fire/frost/etc. But **Damage Health** is resisted by resist magicka. So as an prc you take full damage from that shock spell. It didn't work like this in daggerfall or Oblivion onwards. Weird
Well I wouldn't say it's near useless, it does give resistance to negative effects of spells too, like blind
Real utility early on is for using the boots of blinding speed without being blinded, you'll also completely avoid reflected absorb health, weakness to elements (you'll completely resist weakness to magicka as well at 100% as it is a magic effect) and those annoying damage attribute spells. If you absolutely love absorb health + weakness to magicka spells/enchantment like i do, you'll want 100% resistance to magicka if you don't want to 1 shot yourself fighting a daedra. For overall magic damage resistance, spell absorption and reflect are usually better as well as high restore health enchantment on multiple pieces of gear. I'd say it's the better resistance out of all of them as it protect from much more than simple magic damage. If you want to use Weakness + Element, you'll also need resist magicka as the Weakness might be reflected to you and you'll damage yourself with your next reflected hit.
I don't think this is true.
If you have 50% magic resistance in morrowind you have a 50% chance of resisting harmful spells. So if someone hits you with a fireball you only get hit half the time.
@@XDarkStrikerX playing a full mage in morrowind is curse and blessing, curse because spell reflection will absolutely wreck you (especially if you picked magic weakness for extra magicka) and blessing because you can one shot pretty much everything and use insanely powerful buffs
I really didn't quite enjoy it as much as I thought it would be... enchanting your own stuff is not as rewarding as one would think, yes you can get some super OP instant cast effects but I wanted to have a nice variety of useful constant effect things and except for a stamina regen and other more utility like enchants like feather 1pt or jump and water walking etc. you're almost always better off hunting unique items like mentors ring, saviors hide etc.
I also don't like the idea of 100% spell absorption/reflect etc. and reflection is only fun on paper in general imo
I'd like a constant effect magicka restore in a balanced fashion and some constant effects shouldn't be so ridiculously expensive (soul wise) guess I need to mod my next attempt at morrowind
@@_TheGoob nope: fire, frost, shock, poison and paralyze are all excempt from resist magicka effects plus it's not a 50% chance to ignore all damage but a 50% reduction of magnitude or simply put 50% less damage
this works the same for the corresponding resist fire: it reduces all incoming fire damage by 50%
spell absorption and spell reflection is what would have a 50% chance to either absorb or reflect any incoming spell (absorption can even absorb your own, positive spells)
Man seeing these plugins takes me back. I remember these getting released back in the day. Was such a weird release format. I found them really early on and copied them onto cd's to give to some of my friends who didn't have good internet at home.
aw that's rlly sweet
That's what heroes do
I feel like good internet only has come around the turn to the 2010s. But i do remember playing with very good ping but below 3mbp/s internet connection in CSS.

The ashes of Lord Brinne is actually an easter egg in reference to a very active member of the Bethesda forums that died during development, there are a few others in various ancestral tombs.
Is that what the deal is? I carried those skulls and ashes everywhere.
Damn it.
Pop je is such a cool 'easter egg.' helps The Phynaster is a ring i keep on at all times
That's a bit morbid...
@@jakubgrzybek6181 I think it's a nice tribute. I created a shrine in my player home where I have put the three ashes surrounded by candles, skulls, and gold.

Ahh, this is one of those comment sections that is filled with niche and rare commenters.
After all these years of watching Morrowind content, I have finally realized that the yellow bar in the left hand corner is the enemy's health bar.
😂
There's a free Ebony Longsword with an Absorb Life enchantment in Suran you can get at the start. No one I've ever spoken to about Morrowind knows about it. You run down the stairs from the Silt Strider and enter the Guard Tower on the right. The sword is under the bed upstairs. You just need something to make you invisible because there's a guard standing there. I usually make him face the corner as well.
Good ole sword of white woe. A nice blade if you don't want the cash
I feel like I found that sword in my first hours of playing Morrowind and then forgot about it for 19 years until you mentioned it, amazing
@ZCS ohhh yeah, there is two. Forgot about the second one.
I found the one in Balmora then a few weeks later the one in Suran just looking for some bone mold armor to steal lol I remember the day like yesterday almost two decades ago
Bruh that’s the oldest trick in dah book. “Sword of white woe”. There’s on in balmora as well in a guard tower.
I remember playing Morrowind on the Xbox and being mad jealous that it didn't have this dungeon... looks like a dodged a few rage quits
Yeah but to be fair one of the plugins is special arrows Area effect ones.
tbh, if you attempt the plugins after doing teh main quest and some side stuff (which is the intended way), firemoth especially gets very easy. and if you know what you are doing even more so.
Notice how the mage in the party casts the same spell as the boss and then disappears after the boss is killed?
The mage takes over as the dungeon boss confirmed?

@@maycontainnuts3127 Anime profile pics dont get to have opinions.
mfw you get hit by the -100 endurance spell, have to drop all your shit, teleport home, go get healed, go pick all your shit back, get hit by it again
The 100% easiest way to do this quest is to also have the official fletcher mod installed too, then buy all the area of effect arrows you can. When you MISS on purpose and hit the ground with these arrows the spell still fires. In fact hitting the target and rolling a miss will NOT cause the spell to fire, so its almost better to aim at the floor like its a missile launcher.
The spell when cast is treated as a trap, so the enemy can not reflect that damage back to you. The skeleton lich has reflect, so this is a really easy way to dps him without risk of backfire.
you could see it like this: the spell gets cast by the arrow, not the player, so it can't be reflected on the player kind of makes sense... more or less :D
Mod? Dude... thats not a solution.

The sewers under mournhold was a damn nightmare. I always got lost. ALWAYS.

There is a guard still alive hiding in the fortress. They will help you kill the Lich.
If true then that guard was surviving in that place for literal years.
@@junova7503 they say they survived off mushrooms, and there's a plate of violet coprimus next to their bedroll. Not the healthiest food in Vvardenfell, but apparently it worked for them

>complains about getting knocked down
It's a tick every old oblivion player has. Wherever you go you jump to level athletics.
@@deptusmechanikus7362 Or morrowind player. I started with morrowind and I did that all the time before oblivion was even released as in morrowind it also increases your athletics. I just usually made sure to have restore fatigue enchanted rings for when combat started, the rings were "at use" so they got drained after a while but were great for emergencies and do regenerate after a time.
@@deptusmechanikus7362 Damn it, now I want to play Morrowind again. It's been years and I'm sure I could scrounge up some mods I havne't played yet. Damn.
@@Ristaak pro tip: get a constant effect restore fatigue enchantment on a single piece of equipment iirc 6-7pts are enough to restore stamina while running but I aim for something like 12 and more so the occasional jumping around is refilled faster
as a full mage it's super crucial to always have full stamina because it completely wrecks your casting efficiency even more than melee skills are affected but it's basically useful for every character no matter what because stamina affects basically everything in morrowind, even barter and enchanting success so you don't have to wait eternities whenever you buy or sell stuff for your stamina
oh btw. jumping increases your acrobatics, athletics is leveled by running and swimming
@@brohvakiindova4452 I'm pretty sure they meant that your athletics still increases, even if you're jumping. You can jump everywhere and level both.
18:42 "thank feck" but I heard "thank vivec" because of the accent and speed lol
Oh a dementors ring... Very interesting. Sounds quite serious. ...oh the mentors ring. Huh.
Thank god I'm not alone in my irish illiteracy
That surprise Nord appearance at the end got me! I remember that dude shouting "I'll bathe in your blood!" to skeletons when I played it way, way back. I used to crack up a pal of mine at university by describing this guy and the mod. Haha. Good times. R.I.P., amigo.
Something I always did as a kid was make an orc, at level 1 go to the dire plantation, sneak attack the man with the deadric dai-katana using the orc racial. Then that allowed me to kill the rest of the people in the dire plantation which got me deadric greaves and shield. Along with other glass and ebony armor.
back when I was a kid I didn't pay attention to how to get good stuff early or what is the best unique item for my character etc. I basically made a warrior with some healing spells based on which race looked cool and struggled for ages until it became easier
I absolutely loved (and still love) the way you could mix-match armor and clothing, really simple feature but having a battlemage with a robe and added armor pieces looks and feels really nice
@@brohvakiindova4452 kind of the same for me, when I played I must have been 8 years old. I watched my cousin play. I knew deadric was best. And glass was my favorite. And orc was my favorite race because of lord of the rings lmao. Just kind of worked out, and I never did the main quest line. All I wanted was to kill people with me favorite armor and become a werewolf.
After around 17 years and 6000-7000 hours of Morrowind, I didn't know there was Orcish armor in Ghorak Manor. That's why Morrowind is my favorite game of all time, there's always new stuff to discover.
I suggest a plug-in called take my place. Basically if an NPC it's blocking you you can just ask to swap places
Hjrondir and Micky D a True Morrowind love story. What shenanigans will they get into next?
Absolutely loving the fresh Morrowind content and your Irish accent. My personal advice, hotkey potions and spam restore fatigue. Your hit chance is really messed up from having no fatigue (amongst other things).
28:56 -- pls more. Your commentary is what is enjoyable. I feel like the chill groove that this video embodies is your jam. Maybe you know it now and you're _making_ it your jam while I enjoy your back-catalog, but I just had to say it!
these videos legit got me out the gutter, everyone of these is so good man :)
ITs odd how timeless this game is. It just never gets old.
It feels like a real rpg
Nah this game is definitely showing its age in visual andsome mechanical aspects. It's still fun though and has the CRPG feel to it which is missing in alot of modern rpg games.
As someone who didn't grow up with the game, it absolutely shows its age. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying its controls and visuals are antiquated and difficult to learn for a newcomer.
It's definitely worth the learning curve, however. Really interesting game
@@shotgunner777 The trick is that Morrowind was always kinda that way. It felt kinda old the first time I played it, and still feels kinda the same. Like someone who doesn't age, but didn't gain that ability until their late fifties.
@@shotgunner777 What do you mean by controls exactly? I have a feeling it's just WASD and whatever else you keybind.
i love mythical basemant and hidden doors in morowind, it has some unique feeling of taking adventure
Just found your channel recently, I really love your content!
Btw, in Morrowind, "Magicka" is actually treated as its own element. It refers to effects such as
- damage health
- drain health
- absorb spells
- blind
- burden
Pretty much any offensive magic that is *not* elemental
As a result the resist effect isn't as strong as in Oblivion or Skyrim, but still useful for things like the Boots of Blinding Speed
Great vid! What a gem of a channel too! Subbed
Maybe a tip: you can spam taunt on an NPC during persuasion to force them to attack you, so you don't get a bounty.
Easiest way to get both Glass Armour and Umbra, lmao
@@jksmellie for Umbra all you have to do is talk to the Orc anyway, and just challenge him.
Only way taunt works is with a decent enough personality skill, otherwise they don't give a flying rats ass.
This is super awesome. I give thanks to the algorithm for putting this video in front of me. I also give thanks to all the work you put into producing this video!
I really like these videos. Keep it up!
I love stumbling upon good content like this
Ah Morrowind, beautiful in its janky coding. One of my all time favourite mods changes the entity collision boxes to actually conform to the volume that the entities take up instead of the vanilla collision boxes which are needlessly enormous. This means that you can walk past someone who would otherwise block a doorway, stairwell, narrow hallway, bridge, etc...
My favorite added a bunch of wooden plank scaffolds with salespeople and cargo around and between the cantons of vivec, which lent it a much more exotic feel.
@@superchroma what is the name of the mod?
I didn't think you could pull it off. The lich's spell does a flat 100 shock damage, and it constantly restores 10 health and magicka per second, meaning you need to be able to lay on a lot of DPS to even hurt it.
When that nord showed up to get that slaughter fish. made the video
I was watching the cantina and found also your channel, you are great bro
I like your style and your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man!
I loved that cardinal direction check to find which way west was. Lol
I didn't even know this plugin exists, and it's official one. And my friend, new to Morrowind, installed it. That was a pain to hear stories about Firemoth at low-level. And NPCs.
But now I at least know why.
You such a nice guy, wish i had a friend like you!
I don't know about you, but Morrowind is still a beauty.
I think "Resist Magicka" in Morrowind doesn't reduce the effect of Destruction spells with flame, frost, or shock damage, which is why your orc kept getting maged. Personally I think it doesn't make any sense for it to not reduce those spells, but I don't work for Bethesda
Huh, that's interesting. I completely assumed it would be that way. That's a strange oversight I guess
@@MickyD yeah. resist magicka is for debuffs or effects that directly affect stats. basically anything negative that isnt fire, frost, or shock damage.
I mean, that's because resist frost/fire/shock/poison/paralysis are a thing. If resist magicka protected you against all magicka it would be a thad overpowered, but I agree that the name is a little bit misleading. It should be named "resist non elemental magicka" since it does protect you against non elemental destruction spells such as damage health and drain health
@@sugoha_2548 That's why Bretons are so strong in Oblivion, that and you have the same voice as Jauffre
Bc of how resist magicka works in Morrowind, I think Nords are perhaps the best race for minmaxing. In addition to the frost resistance they have in other installments, they also get shock resistance. For minmaxing in Morrowind or Oblivion, you want a race that starts with 50 endurance to get it to 100 ASAP, and Orc and Redguard passives are bit shit compared to Nords. In Oblivion, I think that orcs may be the best though.
You want money but didn't steal the platter...

I would definitely buy a remaster of this game on the PS.

Please check out the project called "Skywind" here on CZcams :)

I remember fondly the one time I tried Fort Frostmoth and cleared it out. Never set foot in the place since tho, lol
Also, I don't know if you know this, but in Morrowind, if your fatigue is empty/low, your chance for successfully casting a spell is reduced. That's why your healing spell keeps failing. It also plays a part in why you keep getting knocked down, too.

Nicely done man! I enjoy a longer video. For an official plug-in it's a bit shit isn't it? Could have had a better reward anyways. I'm surprised you didn't level up more
You don't even get to keep the shield which is the biggest slap in the face. (I mean you could just not give it back but still)
You bet your ass i kept that shield!
You saying potions with your Irish brogue is magical!
Never occurred to me that one of your first interactions in the game is the guard saying "I'm sure you'll fit right in," then you spend the entire game almost being called the N word

Hmm, I was thinking at first you'd tackle a fort rather north of Seyda Neen. There's one with quite some nasty NPC's. But yeah, that plug-in. You have more patience for it than I. I'm not that much into staying low level, to be honest. Fun to watch.
Imagine ending up with the mage as a permanent companion...and he ends up being unkillable, and impossible to shake off :p
That’s just Solas in Dragon Age.

Edit: Figures, I missed the part where you said it's an optional downloadable addon, not included even in the GOTY version.
P.S. Pro tip: if you need more money at the beginning, go to Balmora's Mages Guild, jump on Galbedir's desk (the top part, not the flat part) and shamelessly steal all her gems. Crouch to make sure you're hidden.
Holy crap good job
Haha, you thought this would be the longest one.
