I like the idea of Fathis standing at the counter of that shop muttering to him self 'I have three of these scrolls, and if I don't use them two at a time I'll die...' then turning to the store owner and saying 'Here, have this one scroll; I found it in the swamp, it's perfectly safe, I promise!'
One can always cast slowfalling if he has a lot of time to waste*cough* to admire the beautiful panorama.
or levitate...
Or use slow fall 1 point
Hellfire scroll does max 100 damage, Lich has ~300 Health
You have 40 health, Lich does ~50 shock damage
Fleeing was the right choice.
Dave, you forgot your drugs...
I love Morrowind so damn much man, keep this series alive at all costs :D
oh hi rebelzize :)
hi :)
cuz its fuckin awesome! and my channel is all elders scrolls :p
Rebelzize, I don't know if I was or wasn't expecting you in the comment section. Haha
***** But quest markers are rubbish...
"I believe there should just be a skeleton in here which we can deal with pretty easily"
-sees lich. shuts door and runs in opposite direction
"NONO Nope nope nope nope haha game your very funny your quite the comedian screw you"
I laughed so hard lol
So far, Fathis has revealed three of his kin to us: Uncle Jim, Aunt Maggie, and Aunt Mabel. Very curious names for Dunmer.
Maybe he was adopted.
Floris Kunst "Born under a certain sign, to uncertain Parents..."
Plus he was born and raised in cyrodil maybe he had family that weren't blood related unless Fathis is half dunmer
maybe Fathis is a liar
@@bbb462cid nonsense, Fathis would never lie about anything
0:55 "Let's pick up the pace, shall we?"
*20 minutes later*
Aaand he's standing in front of Arille again.
Never change :D
I'm screaming at you to pick up your damn skooma and moon sugar in the log 😂😂
The amount of variation of weapons, armor, and spells in Morrowind is incredible. The combos you can create are insane. I really wish Bethesda would bring this back in Elder Scrolls VI.
Also, fun fact: when Tarhiel screams, if you look at your character's mouth in third person, it moves as though it is screaming for him. It does the same thing when the Daedric princes talk.
I think for the princes it's explained as the princes talking through you. And I guess you were canonically screaming when you saw tarhiel the first time.
First time I used a scroll of Icarian Flight, I had no idea what was going on, and totally freaked out.
Also, regarding light sources..... I LOVED the light sources in this game. I moved into the house of that Orc woman in Balmora who you have to take out for the fighters' guild, and decorated lavishly, with all sorts of light sources all over the exterior.... I would stand on the other side of the river admiring it.
Yes, I had a lot of time on my hands.
Morrowind is so oblivious a labor of love when compared to it's younger siblings. I do like Skyrim and Oblivion is okay, I still feel it's a shame Big B scaled back complexity and creativity for wider appeal.
Scribs represent an important idea at play in Morrowind. For those of you who like to swing at everything and overlook the fine details, this little bug will make you respect the foreign land you're visiting and think about your decisions. Too often games give us bumpers so we can't get a gutterball, but that encourages people not to exercise a little caution. Dark Souls teaches this lesson harshly and quickly.
When you opened the door with the Lich behind it, got to say, your reaction quite awesome. Also I for one find the Police Cars in your vids a bit of a Dave endearment, a bit of a trademark.
First time I played this game I spent 10 mins trying to kill a mudcrab (my first enemy encountered) because I kept missing constantly and wondering why I couldn't kill it. What I hadn't know was my friend who set me up to play back then cranked the difficulty all the way up and passed me the controller.
It's one of my happiest memories of my old morrowind playing days when I first made an exquisite belt of permanent fatigue restoration. 4 points I think it was :)
Ah Morrowind, I erect the spine of nostalgia.
My eyes hurt from it being so friggin' dark.
Fun fact! Jiub (from the boat) became a saint by killing all of the cliff racers.
+Seerstrange Another, maybe not so fun fact but very interesting in the lore, he was killed during the oblivion crisis, I believe in the siege of Kvatch
+Francisco Balatbat another fun fact he was writing a 26 volume book I assume to rival Vivec's 26 sermons.
Ey, two years late, but I'm pretty sure someone mentioned he was in the Soul Cairn from Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC.
A bit late, but fun fact Jiub only killed all the cliff racers on Vvarndenfell Island, not on mainland Morrowind. MJOL from Skyrim mentions hunting them with her father in Morrowind in her youth.
Another fun factoid Jiub not only gives you the most morrowindesq item in Skyrim but also his first volume of his 26 volume epic. Truly a generous saint..
I can see why Bethesda changed the Mudcrabs' design.
59:45 "you will learn to hate them as I do, by the end of this let's play."
I'm guessing that will be in 2024. Since we're in 2019 and only on chapter 3. But hey, five more years of Fathis isn't a bad thing. :)
I wish it had lasted till 2024.
nope it did not... unfortunately
As a person from 2024, the old bastard lives on in Skyrim
5:31 - Morrowinds beauty at its finest.
So happy I found this. I've been looking for a quality Morrowind playthrough and a friend recommended you highly
I really like Dave’s production. His Oblivion play throughs (Arthur and now J’zirr) are enjoyable though I keep coming back to this Morrowind one.
I used to watch another person’s play through, this other person was lore knowledgeable but a little too cynical for me and fourth wall breaking.
I watch this like a TV show, hah!
You should do a series entirely focused around suggesting different character backgrounds/builds/roleplay ideas - You seem to be able to come up with good non-conflicting backgrounds on the spot, I notice there's a lot of RP suggestions online but most of them tend to just be like "Uhh.. A thief!" without building up the backstory, and it's interesting backstory ideas that usually inspire other great RP ideas in my opinion.
On a complete tangent, just reinstalled and started playing Morrowind again myself, this time with MGSO and Less Generic NPCs - holy shit, the mod community has come such a long way since the peak of my Morrowind play, I still remember the days when all the graphics/sound overhaul mods were incomplete and most/all of them looked and sounded worse than Morrowind itself, the only reason we installed them was because it was a novelty seeing Morrowind in slightly different textures. Now I honestly think with MGSO and everything it has in it, Morrowind looks better than Oblivion and it's podgy faces and overdone bloom by a country mile - maybe even as good as Skyrim at some points. I just wish I was better at configuring things without breaking MGSO, I feel like with a little tweaking the Depth of Field effect could be a bit less jarring when walking around.
The bedroll in towns thing gives me an idea if the mod-makers happen to stumble upon this comment (if it'd work within Morrowind's constraints): You could have the bedroll work in town but it checks to see if it's: A) A well-guarded upper class part of town, B) A lower class part of town or C) A quiet place off the roads, if it's C then you can sleep uninterrupted, if it's B there's a fairly good chance of waking up with less gold or to a mugging, if it's A there's a fairly good chance you'll get woken up by a guard asking you to pay a fine. I mean in the real world most towns don't allow you to sleep on the street but you can get away with it if you're sneaky or don't mind being fined/told to move on ;)
The more I watch the more I want to play myself. I've gone from having virtually zero interest in playing this game to wanting to play it more than any other game thanks to your videos, quality shit man!
You keep putting these out Dave I'll keep watching them. Awesome LP so far.
E no a a
You can hear the excitement and enthusiasm in your voice while you are explaining the game to people fella. Have a feeling you are going to love this LP. Let the nostalgia commence ;)
I like staying up late watching your videos.
And listening to your voice. In a totally straight way I love you, Dave.
Fathis has a muffin. That’s so …. I just need to cry about how adorable that is.
Honestly, who DOESN'T steal the warehouse key from behind Sellus Gravius and rob the warehouse? This guy.
+Bikezilla Bz he didn't say he was good did he?
+Bikezilla Bz How does not usingthe key make him a bad player? I guess he's also bad for not getting the Mentor's Ring from the tomb next to Seyda Neen, or getting a Daedric weapon really early from the Vassir Dissident cave.
i really should reinstall this game, the nostalgia from watching you play just screams at me to do it
Me as well
Tiny Room Studio
Wait a fucking second, STEAM HAS MORROWIND??? I have been looking for this game to bring back memories forever, but I could never find it! Thanks.
I know I'm late.
I enjoyed using the Dwemer Clock mod (mod 14889 on Morrowind Nexus) to tell the time immersively, as you can hotkey it to tell you the time, the date and the phases of the moons.
Just discovered your channel, and my god. It's so nice to see someone doing an LP of this absolutely wonderful game. It also helps that you are bloody hilarious.
Waitin' all day for it to process.
Now waitin' all night for it to be HD.
Really enjoying this series so far, more than any other of your series. And I can finally watch them as it comes out rather than being swamped in 700 vids like I was with oblivion or skyrim. Keep it up man
I’ve never seen this channel before and haven’t watched anything Elder Scrolls related in around a year, so not sure why this popped up in my recommended feed. But you know what? I’m here for it! This guy seems really chill!
Loving this series so far, you're one of the best, most underrated gaming channels out there SD.
you do not have to use 2 scrolls, you can use a levitate spell right before you hit the ground, and it will stop you from dieing.
Also, shields are not useless as they still increase your passive defense, and actually if you are not using a two-handed weapon, there is literally no reason NOT to use a shield.
what about their heavy?
Jay Y. their weight? most shields are not heavy enough to make much of a difference, with only the daedric shield really being absurd.
Or you can cast/use item of Slow Fall instead of levitate, the possibilities are endless!
William B his block skill isint very high, and I dont think thats the type of character hes going for
The Last Heroes Blade you are right about not fitting the character entirely, but mechanically block skill means nothing in terms of using a shield or not since shields still increase defense based on armor skill.
I'm dying for an Elder Scrolls title for this generation. If a Valenwood setting was announced I'd probably lose my shit lol
I'm wondering if the events with the Thalmor are going to suggest a Summerset Isles for the next game.
Shii I doubt it, since it was included in Oblivion expansion... I hope for Black Marsh, Argonians ftw! :)
Shii I pray that this is the case. As much as I hate ESO, I really did like the Summerset Isles in that game.
That said, Valenwood would no doubt be interesting and has a nice ring to it. But then again, so does Alinor (which is apparently the Isles' official name these days).
Imperum Draconis Summerset was not in TES:IV, you must be thinking of the Shivering Isles, which are the plane of Oblivion in which Sheogorath resides. They were included in an expansion by the same name in TES:IV
coldFire473 Oh yes, you are right, I misread that. :) (still it would be weird setting for TES game since Summerset is not very... cosmopolitan place.)
Its fucking amazing theres a Morrowind LP seriees in 2015, you're my hero.
I'm loving this series so much.
Loving this so far, and you've finally convinced me to start a proper playthrough of morrowind. I've played it on and off since the Xbox version but never actually made it all the way for some reason. But this time will be different damn it!
You won't regret it! Get MGSO, too, I'm playing through the game myself with the mod installed and it's great.
SorcererDave, you rock mate, keep up the good work with these videos
I am so excited for this series.
Dave, I'm just passing here to say that yout channel is awesome and you got a new brazillian subscriber! :D thumbs up!
that mod looks amazing!!!
love what they've done with Morrowind
2 police cars in one video? Crime in England on the Rise
So nostalgic i never really played Morrowind but I love watching dave play
I wish having skooma on you would make them like you less.
Also, damn good quality for 8 freaking years ago. I wanna catch up, and I'm glad it's perfectly edited, even all those years ago.
Well done man.
40:10 There was supposed to be a thief ring next to that stuff over there. Ah well, you missed it
In the Breath of the Wild inspired paraglider mod for Skyrim, they named the lesser power similar to -Revali's- Ravioli's Gale "Tahriel's Gale". The NPC who starts the quest also dies in quite spectacular fashion, much like the namesake of that power. It was a nice callback to Morrowind 🥲
I love how at 1:04:00 he mentions just now leaving the starting village, but if you’ve seen the Arthur Oblivion let’s play, you get the irony of his comment :P
In today’s episode, Agatha’s faces a world where wooden carts have yet to be discovered.
@5:41 or you could find the tax collector's killer (Foryn Gilnith) and ask him about the dead tax collector.
His shack is facing Fargoth's Hiding Place. Gilnith will admit to the murder and tell you that he believed that Vitellius was corrupt and was raising the taxes so that he could keep the extra gold for himself. It is up to you whether you spare Gilnith from the guards or turn him in. If you choose to spare him he will thank you and out of sympathy he will give you Processus Vitellius' Ring for you to return to Thavere Vedrano. Vedrano will then give you two Restore Health potions for returning the ring.
On the other hand if you tell Gilnith that you will turn him in to the guards, he will become hostile, forcing you to kill him. If you kill Gilnith you will receive 500 gold from the Census and Excise office. You can also take Vitellius' ring from Gilnith's corpse and return it to Vedrano in exchange for two Standard Restore Health Potions. Or keep it - it's an "Exquisite Ring". (Or option number 3 give the ring for the potions and then kill her and take the ring back).
(I pretty much always choose the ladder of the two options with Gilnith, as I usually play as a Worrior).
Also, if you choose to kill Gilinith, you will receive 500 gold from the Census and Excise office as a reward for doing so.
If you skip the part where you "report the death of the tax collector" to Socucius Ergalla, then you get to keep the 200 gold from the dead body and get the 500 gold reward.

Also if you give Fargoth his Ring back, then do the "Fargoth's Hiding place" quest by talking to Hriskgar; that's another 300 Gold, a couple of lockpicks, and you get Fargoth's ring back. Furthermore you raise Arille's disposition towards you to 80 by giving Fargoth his ring. (you Probably knew all this).
If you buy the enchanted ring from Vodunius Nuccius for 100 Gold you could sell it for Profit. This also raises the disposition of Darvame Hleran (a Dunmer caravaner who runs the Silt Strider service in Seyda Neen).

And obviously the nearby bandit cave has lots of loots but that goes without saying.
Could you up the brightness during your next recording?
I already did increase the brightness in editing. This video is brighter than the actual game was.
SorcererDave and it was still too dark couldn't see anything when you where traveling at night, then again night is dark so i duno
SorcererDave UA-cam's encoding makes the nights much darker, it's just a black screen with the occasional luminous plant, we can't see a thing.
Can anyone else confirm this, because I can see the video perfectly fine on both of my monitors. Every time I brighten the video it fucks with the quality and creates dodgy artifacting everywhere so I'm very reluctant to artificially brighten it any more than I already am.
I would honestly suggest altering your monitor brightness settings if this is a common problem for you on UA-cam.
SorcererDave it's not quite pitch black but it is very dark
what if you jumped with the scroll to land in water?
You survive, but you need some serious good luck. Also you can survive if you hit a mountain meaning you have reduced the distance you fell from.
You can always use a slowfall spell to survive after using the scroll. Tinur's Hoptoad scroll I have found are just as good as levitation for crossing waterways.
I actually only used those scrolls inside, like in huge caverns with multiple levels or to get across some lava pond. The ceiling keeps you from dying in there. :)
Maybe it's been patched or changed, but from what I remember, if you fall into water after your jump, you survive.
Scroll of Icarian Flight can be used with ANY levitation to instantly stop the player in midair before you land. Use all 3 scrolls with this combo to play effective Morrowind. Have a god day.
man been playing morrowind since launch still have my original character love it
By the way, in tha Addamasartus cave, you missed the Thief Ring. It`s in the cave where you killed the rat, near a mushroom, hard to spot. Would be useful for your char in the beginning. Treasure hunt? Treasure hunt! Great videos.
02:03 I love it when US playthroughs say it like "Caius Co-sades", because that's what Bill and Ted were taking the piss out of with "So-crates", but those guys are 100% serial.
Sweet! I've heard a lot about cliff racers but never seen one! 😊
You will learn to loathe them if you haven’t yet! 😂
I've arrived at this Let's Play in a roundabout way (Winters SEO > Arthur LP > Fathis Ulvin LP vol. 2 > here) but it was all worth it to hear you say, "You may take my freedom, but you will never take my muffins!".
34:40 dude you´re Darth Revan wtf
Yes....and there is the Star Wars reference I was looking for ;)
Surprised you missed out the thief ring, then again It was quite blended in with the floor. Great Lp so far!
loved the video, honestly been considering buying the game myself to experience what probably is the best elder scrolls game to date; I find it sad that so many fighting mechanics from both morrowind and oblivion were not present in Skyrim
2 things:
1 - this video is extremely dark, the night parts are a black canvas with a specks of light from mushrooms/fires
2 - yo should soooo give the 200 drakes to the guy, he has you find the murderer and gives you 500 when you do!
The console command for show ownership of items, is ToggleFullHelp TFH
When I was a teenager I would always head to Balmora to retrieve the ebony broadsword @ level 1.
I also made a spell that allowed me to jump from Balmora to Aldruhn.
Swamp thing ,you make my heart sting ! My fav song
Great stuff
am I the only one who doesn't call it fatigue, even though that's what it's called?
I mean, yeah. it's called that in game, and apparently favoring something newer is worse than murder... but I much prefer using "stamina" than "fatigue." I mean, it's a bar that depletes. so saying "low fatigue" actually means you're tired, despite it meaning you're feeling pretty fresh and energized when used normally... it's like calling your health meter your "damage meter," and making "low damage" mean you're actually fairly damaged.
An ambulance actually went off in distance at the same time watching this, I thought I was tripping at first when you said it.
Tamriel Rebuilt :) is an epic project, that well :P lets just say its still in works. As a former member, I can say they have ALOT of work to do, but their awesome :)
So...triangle door lock=illuminati. That's what I got from this installment. Keep up the good work Dave.
That get-up you had on was actually kind of cool
I survived using the spell as I landed outside of Vivec in the sea. I got attacked by slaughterfish and desperately tried getting out of the water, and managed to get up into the city where I promptly got horribly lost and never found my way out of it.
Two morrowind vids in a row? It must be christmas
I'm back Dave, Morrowind is the best game with or without mods. I am still playing it 11yrs on.
Just over a month ago I accidentally discovered how to create your own Constant Effect items.
I always return the tax money cause it gives you a quest that gets you 500 gold and a place to sleep.
My favorite thing about morrowind is that the Dark Brotherhood are evil, but the Morag Tong are the official assassins of the Dark Elves
Swamps have trees, marshes have grass.
I was fucking dead when you were explaining fatigue and then went into the making a potion while out of breath bit XD So fucking spot on.
2 episodes in and this is basically the best ever. As far as noping the fuck right out of there and feeling of dread when a Cliff Racer pops up, we play exactly the same.
Just rewatching because of the new skyrim lets play and the image of fathis opening the door, he and a litch staring at each other for a second, then fathis closing the door and running has me cackling
I know this is WAAAAY too late to really help in this LP, but for those who don't know: give Fargoth the ring when you encounter him, then go hang around Areal's tavern and chat with folks a bunch. Eventually someone will mention how they keep getting screwed by Fargoth and wants him to pay for it, so they'll help you out by mentioning he has a secret stash he only accesses at night and gives you something illegal to sneak in there. If you agree to this, hang out on top of the tavern or somewhere you can see the whole of Sedanine, so you can see the little toad scurry about. Follow him back to his hidey-hole (the hollow log Fathis uses for his moon-sugar, I think) and you will get the ring back along with somewhere in the nature of 2-300 gold for the effort. You can't find the stash though until someone tells you about it and you have to wait until nightfall to do this. Not bad for a level 1 quest, huh?
Work at a movie theater and right when you met the Vampire Hunter, a guy walked by talking about a half Vampire, Vampire Hunter. 😳
The water looks really nice at the sunset.
I am pretty sure you know this but bloat is actually pretty useful since it fortifies intelligence when mixed with either netch leather or ash yams which is very useful since it improves your chances of success at alchemy.I am also curious about the tower with a note on the door in Seyda Neen,I don't know what the its deal is since I never used Morrowind Rebirth before but it looks awesome.I couldn't install it now since I am in the middle of a playthrough and my installation is already held together with glue and toothpicks.One very minor mod I would recommend is Shiny Septims in makes the gold look more like the Septims in Oblivion and Skyrim. I am also excited to the see what Pelagiad looks like.
The coins in Morrowind aren’t septims, they’re drakes.
Can't ever get enough Morrowind :)
nice job
59:50 I'm pretty sure Cliff Racers are pacified in this mod (as are Mudcrabs).
The containers and plants that are animated and just disappear when picked up come from Animated Herbalism (or some such titled mod), which basically turns all the plants and containers in the *base game* into the kind that just disappear/animate when used.
The containers that act like the normal game, opening the inventory window, are the ones added by Morrowind Rebirth, and such are not referenced by the Animated Herbalism mod, so they behave vanilla.
Don't forget Mentors ring is in a tomb along the northern coast near Seyda neen.
That lich really sucks! Mentors ring is in there.
bruh, when you were talking german at 11:18 all of a sudden for a tiny bit i was so bloody confused xD I'm not used to english speaking content creators just spurt out a little bit of german whatsoever xD
You can use slowfall with the icarus scrolls of flight, and it works much better than 2 scrolls. it's a great way to get around.
What is it with that absolutely beautiful lighting on the water? It looks amazing.
im sure im supposed to be doing something, but it cant be that important compared to this lets play
I thought this game would look like a patato I was wrong it's decent
Without mods its kinda potato for todays standard.
Aidan Titus But still charming. i have tons of content adding mods but none graphical ones. If one played this when it was released. then a, you are old and no longer care of the graphical aspect. b, find the low poly experience as seeing a lost brother again.
At the time Morrowind was groundbreaking graphics wise. I remember getting it. It was really niche at the time.
