What mods am I using? Nothing gamechanging. I'm using the OpenMW engine with their curated "I Heart Vanilla" modlist. It's mostly bugfixes and graphical enhancements.

"persist in the doomed world you have created" still goes so hard 20 years later
It was doomed the moment I left the Census and Excise Office. It just didn't know it yet.
it just sat there looking...@@JustBackgroundNoise
but it's only been 7 years since Harambe died
Jedi survivor uses it too
@@TasTheWatcher Longest seven years of my life
Instead of the real plot of Morrowind, this is a story of a supposedly doomed world where the prophesied hero never came. So some random criminal decided "fuck that", collects the most powerful artifacts in all the land, uses them to kill two gods to save the world, and then dies of exhaustion from overexerting himself during the final battle. That goes so much harder than the actual plot lmao
Azura seeing a random Redguard kill Dagoth ur and leaving Red mountain :
"Who the fuck are you ?!"
“Your daddy, you n’wah’
"Surprise, muthadaedra!"
More like "Eh, that'll do". I'm more concerned about feelings of previous incarnations
I personally love how nothing scales with level. It allows me to play the game naturally and not worry about leveling efficiently.
Enemy spawns are affected by levels
@@LSDOvideos Dont feel it. Its not like Skyrim where a lever 80 has to go trough full barrows of draugrlords.
I really enjoyed when I played Morrowind. Playing a sword and board + restoration character the game felt really balanced. Early on I missed a lot and later game I almost never missed and it felt great. I only finished the base game and some of the side quests. I think when I play again I’ll try some dest/conj build and go through the dlc.
Magic is broken in morrowind- if you do certain things you can have instakills perma invisibilty and many more.@@zachlewis9751
@@zachlewis9751 might I suggest you check out some mods for next run? I'm sure you're already aware, but there are some super neat ones that add so much (and many with just minor tweaks if that's more your thing!)
The people of morrowind witnessed a random crack head flying throughout the land killing all the gods and demigods, even destroying the heart of lorkhan, only for him to od on adrenaline and die.
"It is not too late for my mercy," Dagoth Ur says, stripped of his immortality, burning to death in the magma.
scribs interrupt sleep but you dont actually have to kill them, theyre just checking on you
Aww, now I feel bad.
@@JustBackgroundNoise i had to watch the petting a scrib in vr video to learn, feel bad for all the innocent scribs i killed before then
@anonopossum idk ruining my sleep is punishable by violence so that's on them.
@@heszedjim9699 I can make some exceptions. My cat wakes me up more often than not, but he's a good boy so it's okay.
@@JustBackgroundNoiseScribs are just Morrowind's cats
Fun fact: the Daedra speak with your mouth. When you go afk the idle animation is just a slow camera rotation in 3rd person. When that happened during one of the Daedra Prince's monologues I discovered that *I* was the one speaking. I thought it was neat and was disappointment when it was removed from subsequent games, even if it was probably just a hack to make the voices work.
Ooo giving me plot ideas for a new story I can work on!
Keep these vids coming, you're filling a hole that formed after Micky D took a break for his health, feeding my addiction to Morrowind videos
Oh no! Is he alright ?
@@skeletonking4119 It's unclear at the moment precisely what's up with him, however I saw him in a Joov stream chat a recently so I hope he's alright
@@skeletonking4119 he still posts memes on twitter every few days, but yeah I think he posted a thing where he was talking about being chronically sick and was talking about a longtime hiatus
@@ℑ𝔫𝔤𝔞𝔩𝔡𝔯𝔢 thank you sincerely for the information! All of you are awesome! Bless thee !
This is not the place I expected to see a micky d update but at least now I know😂
For anybody who didn't know: you can really easily get cheap training by making a damage skill spell and reducing your chosen skill to train to 0 for luke 1 or 2 seconds. Training to level 1 will always cost 1 gold, and will still add to your total whenever the skill resets. Makes grinding levels a lot easier without completely emptying your pockets and still guaranteeing you that +5 in whatever attribute you need. It also gets around the whole "You may not train a skill above its governing attribute" thing.
Holy shit this is BRILLIANT. Do you know if this works in Oblivion too?
@@alexgowin5585 It does. You can train for 0 gold. However in Oblivion you can only train 5 times per level (like in Skyrim).
at this point i would rather just install the garanteed 5x multiplier mod.
not saying the strategy isnt valid. but it does feel liek alot of trouble to ciscunvent the bad leveling design.
Actually, you can "beat" morrowind even without the jury-rigged wraithguard. If you have enough health, you can hotkey swap the dagger into your hand and out of your hand again and again to do all the necessary damage to the heart. You can also use a spear's knockback to just knock Dagoth Ur into the lava and not deal with him for the rest of the fight. I know this because it's how I beat Dagoth Ur on a TES3MP server lol.
Dagoth Ur is already precious, but imagining his amazing "I'm a god! How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence!" as a dozen veteran players, who collectively have centuries of experience in this masterpiece of a game, all wearing nothing but Colovian Fur Helms, troll the utter silt out of the greatest TES villain to ever exist in his own dungeon, all before spamming chat with "lol n'wah"...
...I mean, it probably didn't go that way, but it could've, and that's beautiful. Gotta love this game.
Theres even a more scuffed way to do it,first you get to the first town and buy lots of ingredients to make fortify inteligence potions,then you make fortify health potion,thats because the dagger doesnt techniccally kills you,it just removes a lot of hp,tho the downside of that method is that when the fortify health effect end you will die because your health will become negative
@@butelthomas2503 Assuming that you don't, as well, take time out of your coked-up alchemy session to create some busted health potions that negate the concern of missing health.
@@ryjelsum Oh nah thats just Morrowind Potions, they stack infinitely so you just chug INT bonuses, brew whatever you want, and get chugging your super drugs
@@ryjelsum different glitch afaik. You can use a Soul Trap on target spell with other effects on self and it’ll stick around
JBN: "Chance to block is based on this equation."
Also JBN: "I couldn't find the equation."
Why is this so funny?
I thought I saw the equation somewhere, but never bothered checking before I wrote and recorded. Oopsie.
Uesp has it
@@swssm4741Do you have a link for that? All I was able to find there was hit and evasion chance. It's possible that I was looking on the wrong page.
@@JustBackgroundNoise It's on the "Combat" page under the "Blocking" section. CZcams obliterates links I think.
Thats why I love Morrowind. I realized halfway through my first play I could just go up to Dagoth and win the game once I had enough HP to hold the tools for long enough.
The sheer overflow of your fatigue bar is simply staggering. I always spent my time in Morrowind totally drained of fatigue, but you manage to always have more than enough! I can tell because it says so on the screen, and there's no way you could fake that.
Hey, your previous Morrowind video about Marksmanship is what got me to download and try the game again after bouncing off in the past. I've gotten farther than I ever have before(by which I mean I spoke to shirtless man and have killed at least one cliffracer.)
There's never just one cliff racer.
Rhaaa intensifies
@@JustBackgroundNoise*cliff racer duplication mod flashbacks*
Any mod that makes your hits more consistent is the most important mod i could recommend
@@TheRealRusDaddy tbh I think that ruins the balance of the game, but I think a mod that gave "hitmarkers" so that you have some feedback for hitting, even if you aren't always doing damage, would go a long way.
So cool. I always wanted to do a “backdoor” run. I love that Morrowind made it possible to screw up your game and still finish the main quest. Such incredible roleplaying options.
"You can also abuse alchemy, but that's for a different video."
I'll hold you to it, JBN.
All you need is Ash Yams and Bloat. I think the general store in Dagon Fel sells both.
1. Buy Ash Yams and Bloat.
2. Make Fortify Intelligence potions.
3. Drink potions.
4. Make more potions while under effect of previous potions.
5. Sell potions to anyone who will take them for more money.
6. Repeat.
It has a slow ramp up because it seems to work exponentially rather than flat boosts, but in about 20-30 minutes you're making potions nobody can afford, and they fortify intelligence by tens of thousands for hours.
@McAwesomePants feels reminiscent to skyrim fortify restoration loop
@@thatdumbguy2621 It is roughly the same, except in Skyrim you have the extra step of having to enchant gear with Fortify Enchant and then slowly snowballing your stats that way, because there is no simple "Fortify Intelligence" ingredients you can just plop into a potion. Still easy to break both games, though.
If this was a legend to be told it would never be known the PC was the Nereverine. Just a crazy Redgaurd who wanted all powerful artifacts he could find.
"Lemme get this straight. The empire drops this guy off in Seyda Neen then a bunch of people in Balmora train him to kill not one, but TWO gods?"
You forgot to mention that he just dies to a heart attack after killing the second god
When you have a hammer, every problem become a nail.
Me with my favorite glass warhammer in Skyrim lol
I remember reading a fan theory once that the game giving you the persist in a doomed world message you get after killing vivec despite being able to still beat the game is just vivec using the last of his chim powers to try and manipulate the player into loading a save game and effectively reset reality to prevent his death
sure, by why do that for fargoth?
After watching nerbit and other creators such as him. I was hoping to find a channel that does morrowind challenges.
And I did! It is great to be here! I love your channel already
I hope Mitten Squad can return one day. He was the OG with some of the elements of this style of challenge video.
@@DanteTorn This REALLY didnt age well holy fuck
@@DanteTorn f*ck, this one hurts now.
@DanteTorn when I saw this comment I thought mittensquad may have been mentioned. Rip.
@@gamerin123d6 It;s not quite /mu/ jinxing Lemmy, but it's bad.
The jury rigged wraithgaurd is left handed so you can use it with the real wraithgaurd at the same time.
I've got a challenge that sounds impossible, but I've done it on console: bring Vivec and Dagoth Ur together at a neutral location to "parley" and/or just to decorate your crib.
ENemies don't use doors so I don't see your plan here.
@@DIEGhostfish *hint* you must convert them from an enemy to a follower at least temporarily; getting them through the door is the easy part, no exploit required, although you may need some artificially boosted stats given their level. The tricky part is getting Dagoth Ur out of Red Mountain, his sprite presents a unique challenge when exiting, that requires an exploit based on an understanding of how to get him to follow you in the first place...you have to think waaay outside the box, but it is possible.
Sounds crazy I love it.
@@SuperRayW couldnt you cast levitate on him?
@@marcosdheleno would it let him clip through a solid object? It's been a while, I honestly don't remember if that's a thing.
Man I love finding Morrowind content like this. It's such a cozy game and I love watching people play it in different ways.
2002 pureness, really charming
"Vivec is kill" is pretty much every Morrowind playthrough I've had
17:14
Small correction, security can help with intelligence growth, but otherwise has no effect on security rolls itself.
The stat part of the calculation is Security + (Agility/5) + (Luck/10). The other 2 parts to success calculations is your tool quality (an easy multiplier) and fatigue (.75 multiplier to 1.25 multiplier depending on how full it is.)
Lastly, the final check is the difficulty, which subtracts, and gives us our final percentage chance of success.
Example, 40 security, 40 agility (8) and 40 luck (4)= 52. Multiply by a normal journeyman lockpick of 1.0, and obviously, full fatigue 1.25= 65. We are picking a difficulty 50 lock. 65-50=15% chance on every attempt. At zero fatigue instead, we would be getting a 'lock too complex' message, a 0 or below % chance of success.
A simple formula, obfuscated by the fact that this game is jank spaghetti at the best of times, and the mechanics are generally poorly explained, if not outright false information.
Thankfully, your stupid high agility more then makes up for any slight stat mismanagement. ;p
So glad your doing more morrowind videos, I was worried the archery run would be a one off, thank you
It actually pleases me a lot that you enjoy the elder scrolls as well as RS
I'm grateful for this video. I've seen several sources talk about the "backpath" to the Morrowind main story but none of them actually went into detail on how to do it and I've also never been able to find a video of it. You've scratched a very long-standing curious itch.
You can actually beat Morrowind without wraith guard as long as you either fortify health enough to outlive the 1 hit with sunder and 4 with keening or just drink an absolutely obscene amount of healing potions. Drinking healing potions has a high chance of not working if you have lower amounts of HP though.
Edit: extra clarification I guess this could be considered alchemy exploits but this is possible with potions you can buy from merchants and still let's you actually finish the main quest and get the ring of azura as apposed to the just killing the heart of lorkhan after gaining like 2,000 strength or something
Sunder and Keening only do 50-125 damage per second. Half that damage is always fire related the other half is electrical so blocking out the damage is a trivial matter. Morrowind is balanced for around a level 15-20 character and once you pass that to around level 30 and beyond you are basically untouchable. So if you get to around level 50+ you can easily just tank the damage long enough to destroy the heart, I have done it all sorts of ways multiple times.
@@ColonelBragg I'm well aware tanking the damage is possible as I've both just tanked the damage by having a lot of HP as well as chugged quality restore health potions to beat the game at level 1 with 50 hp. I however did not know that keening and sunders self damage was elemental damage so thanks for that info
This was uploaded almost an hour ago on a realtively small channel I probably would have never found myself and yet it already appeared on my recommended page.
Youtbe knows me well. This is a great video!
When I was younger, the line "you should run now" terrified me as much as taking two steps outside of a city.
Thank you for adding official subtitles. It's so much better than auto-generated.
This is one of the best pieces of content I've seen in this platform recently. Great quality work, it was pleasant to watch. Congratulations.
It's crazy how much you were missing despite swimming in all that fatigue.
Just found your channel, really enjoying your content and casual, almost off the cuff humor mixed with breaking down systems. Very entertaining to listen to.
one of my favourite games of all time and i learned something new today
dude this channel is something special, you have such a perfect cadence for voiceovers
I'm surprised you didn't grab the daedric warhammer from Tukushapal. Its normally locked, but giving Matze to Ennbjof in Vivec gives you access to it. The only enemies at level one are easy to take on skeletons. It DOES require levitation to grab, but there are conveniently placed rising force potions right below the location with the weapon. Plus, you get the best unenchanted helmet in game, the Daedric Face of God.
You DEFINITELY need to make more morrowind videos!! These are the best
i really liked your previous mw video, i was just wrapping it up this morning. so this is a pleasant treat to wake up to
Just found this channel. As a morrowind enjoyer I am so happy people still make these types of videos.
Was playing Skyrim Nolvus with this as background noise® and wound up just watching the vid. Great video brother. Subbed
Top quality video dude. Very chill sense of humor. Subscribed!
“Excluding the warriors what a surprise”😂😂😂💀💀
I love the little details that you put in that could be easy to miss like when you were trying to kill the cliff racer and had text over the empty fatigue bar...that was hilarious and Iove finding these little things. This is quality content
This was a delight! More Morrowind challenges please!
new favorite channel. Thanks for your hard work!
you videos are pretty cool, i like watching them even though i dont know anything about any of the games you play tbh also good sometimes when im tired asf i can just pass out, like your videos are good as just background noise too thats crazy
Thank u for always being there for me when i need to go to sleep sooner rather than later (respectfully
What a gem! Last time I played Morowind I wandered around aimlessly and eventualyl stumbled on that dungeon that has Skull Crusher in it and then suddently I was able to actually fight stuff; then I stumbled onto the quest to go to the dungeon later in the playthrough. Thats always an amusing feeling. Great video!
Thanks for the content. I like your style. And it's Morrowind content!
Love your content man. I'm here for it.
I love your humour dude. Great video, this will be my playthrough if and when I ever play this.
"How can you kill a God? What a grand and intoxicating innocence."
*literally 0.1 seconds later*
"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Come, lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy."
Love these videos. As someone with only a passing interest in Morrowind its so interesting to see. Maybe i'll give it a shot
literally never found or heard about that mine in years of playing this game, so awesome
amazing video and amazing story telling ability, great work!
Droping a comment to support this Content. Love these Videos
I am so glad i found you videos, i have been loving these. Id love to see you play daggerfall, i feel that would be fun
Great content loving your channel
I played so much Morrowind at release that I’m so excited to have new facts dropped on me. Went from playing the OG Xbox port, to the PC version with the updates/expansion packs. This was my favorite game ever along with Diablo II as a middle school kid. Brings back great memories. Love the content.
I like these challenges. Would highly recommend a major in conjuration or enchant, bound weapons help a lot with stuff outside your major skills.
Yo, your videos are pretty awesome and a fresh breath for TES content for me. I wanted to play Morrowind since I really liked skyrim, and find some aspects of oblivion interesting.
These morrowwind videos are neat to watch. Cool to see them getting so many views for you.
The fact that he died as a mortal to beat Dagoth Ur, he would still be remembered as a hero
"Hello Nerevar---wait. You're not the one I've foreseen in prophecy."
"Is that a problem?"
"You're not the one able to defeat me. Begone, intru---is that Sunder and Keening?!!? AND WRAITHGUARD!? HOW DID----when did!? How did YOU even SURVIVE"
"Don't care, I'ma smash your heart like I smashed your prophecy."
When I was a kid and played this game I never did a single quest. I just ran around killing stuff. I really should play this again as an Adult and actually beat it.
I have never played morrowind and in this video I don’t know what going on half the time but I enjoyed every minute of this
original morrowind content feels like christmas... oh wait... well it's an appropriate time i gues
Just started playing morrowind again and I love these videos
Kwama eggs are like if honey was both one of your only sources of food, and your country's major export. So you farm and maintain giant underground bees.
Love your morrowind videos! please make more
To make leveling up a bit harder, at character creation, I selected Luck as a favored attribute. At each level up, I put one point into luck. I maxed out luck by roughly level 50 or 51, without using the Bitter Cup (needed for a certain quest).
Harder? Luck is the most versatile attribute in the game you use it at least 90 % of the time
This is the perfect video I intend to use to introduce a friend, who's never played, to Morrowind. Thank you :)
Bro I love your voice and your comedy. These videos are so good.
Please continue with morrowind and oblivion vidoes, Its awesome to have some content to watch on my childhood favourites
0:21 IT'S PIKACHU!
28:52 I like how the last known Dwemer is basically a redditor discord mod
Good video, first one I've saw from you, I'm a big morrowind nerd.
Think your just gonna hit the algorithmz I found patrician TV and micky D (who i saw mentioned in the comments) when they had about the same subs.
Good vid, i like the stuff your saying under your breath ❤❤❤
GREAT video man. i enjoyed it
The Morrowind back route is one of those things I think wouldn't be put into a big RPG game nowadays because it would be seen as wasted effort as something that people would never see (or that if they do see it they miss out on the material in the main story instead) and with budgets and development cycles as they are it wouldn't be seen as economical.
It's pretty cool though.
I wonder if the entire concept of kwama only exists to enable the "egg poachers" pun.
I never used a shield unless I was using spells or 2 handed. Since you block automatically and the chance to block gets higher as you increase the skill you can potentially stun lock yourself. You can't do anything else while the block animation is happening and blocking doesn't negate all damage. I've died from chip damage because I couldn't stop blocking to attack. You do still get an armor bonus from equipping the shield (and any passive enchantments) even if you're using a 2 handed weapon or a spell so that's the only time I used shields.
The Return of The ̶K̶i̶n̶g̶ Absolute Madman
My younger brothers and I completed the game without Wraithguard by alchemy cheese once. We'd lost the papers we were meant to give to Cassius but were absolutely determimed to beat the game with that character anyway.
Love the varied content.
After you killed that Cliffracer and rested, I am honestly shocked another one didn't pop up. I can never get a good nights sleep in Morrowind.
With enough skooma you can do anything
Love the vids bro, new subscriber.
Excellent Content ,Fantastic Piece 😊🕉️
14:00 You can type in RA in console to reset NPC positions in case someone clipped through the floor/fell off the stairs/is stuck in the door. The only downside is that it also resets position of any NPCs you moved through Command Humanoid spell
really enjoying this content.
I love how in Skyrim with the fishing quests you can find the ring of the wind with the effect of +15% movement speed! It’s pretty similar to Morrowind’s version of +30 points to agility.
Same same, but different ✨
This makes me wanna play Morrowind, even though I've never played with
I love this game. Great video.
You kinda sound like the fox guy from adventure time. Love the videos please keep it up :))
After reading through the script for the charging event you should 100% be able to simply cast fortify health 220 points and skip the entire leveling portion.
I'd absolutely love to see more Morrowind content! I love osrs as much as the next guy, as I just got the shadow on leagues, now I'm hunting for the heart from these stupid hydras that only give me eternal gems :(. But either way, I don't see a lot of Morrowind content and I actually need to finish the game myself!
Quality Content. Keep it up!
