The first time I played Morrowind I dumped the documents you're supposed to give to Caius Cosades out in the wilderness in order to make place for a nice silver bowl I found.
Being able to dump quest items and kill quest important characters really made the prophecy of the Nerevarine all important. You could fuck up like every past potential Nerevarine and become another nobody in a long line of idiots. It really makes you careful.

I grew up and use the wiki, but I also have a graphics extender that I use to increase the view distance (though not to ridiculous proportions) so you can actually see the Dwemer ruins on a hill from within Balmora. The sun rises from behind them, it's pretty epic.
You know what traumatized me from morrowind? " *You have severed the thread of prophecy. You may reload your last save or continue on in the doomed world you've created.* "
@@elvenatheart982 Yup, no one in Morrowind is marked as essential, so you can just kill anyone at any time and break the game. But also you can walk up to the mountain where Dagoth Ur is and fight him at any time too. Cool thing about Morrowind is that there are few characters that legitimately break the game when they are killed. There's usually ways around it.
I remember playing Oblivion for the first time when I was 9, I had watched my brother make his way through the beginning of the game until the Emperors death and then he decided he'd rather go outside and play soccer so he told me I could keep playing. I was left there with Baurus who was busy explaining how the sewers ahead were my only escape to get to Weynon Priory. I didn't know what the fuck was going on with the story and everything he was telling me, I was terrified at the thought of advancing further myself, especially when Baurus said "there are rats and goblins down there", that freaked me the fuck OUT. But soon he managed to calm my nerves slightly because he's a bro and after much panic and anxiety creeping through the sewers, trying to figure out the controls, I made it out. That first moment being outside the sewers, with the pier ahead and the ayleid ruin across the lake, that was pure bliss for me at 9. I felt like I had accomplished something great by surviving the dark sewers and had now stepped into a colossal world which felt very overwhelming but unbelievably exciting too. Never had a stronger moment for me as a gamer.
That’s an awesome story man. I felt the same way playing Oblivion for the first time. I don’t like the word epic, but the experience was freakin epic. My older brother also introduced me to the game too
As a kid, I was always scared of the dreugh. Going out into deep water would get my heart rate going, because I knew horrible humanoid monsters would come up from the depths.
@@DarkScay I had the same problem at first but just dew it! It's a great game, if I can convince myself to keep playing through it you can too :) If it helps I felt much safer after I got the submersible.
I had something similar happen to me as well, except it was with crysis 1. In case you don't know crysis has this mechanic where if you swim out too far a shark will spawn and kill you. This traumatized me as a kid and to this day I still get anxious whenever a game makes me swim. this also means I will NEVER play Subnautica.

Was that first rat in the basement that got my first pc. In Balmora, I think. I'd never been more offended to die in combat. This game damaged me man. I went on to play the Dark Souls series. I blame that rat for the refusal to give in to ridiculous deaths, required to continue playing those games.
I started playing Morrowind when I was 11. I had no internet access and I had never played an RPG before. I am 27 now but still deeply affected by all the trauma. And it's my favorite game ever.
The most helpless I have ever felt in my life was when I entered a tomb in Morrowind, a ghost was attacking me and I only had a physical attack sword. Still haunts me to this day.
"I think you're a thief because you've stolen my heart". In all my hours of Morrowind (I even have a screenshot of MW in my UA-cam profile picture), I don't recall hearing a female Bosmer say that line at any point in the game.

I got it yesterday from the owner of my target from a Thieves Guild quest. The RNG alignment of the stars was glorious and I laughed hard. The timing was just pure gold after as I was leaving the establishment after the deed was done.
When I was 10 years old and played Oblivion, one day I came to this Ayleid ruin, where there was a large room with many stone coffins. The room was empty, so I thought great, I can raid in peace. I went to the last chest and when I opened it the battle music started. When I turned around, there were many zombies by the coffins. The horror I felt was indescribable.
Lol when i first played i was young i picked up everything i found and never made it out of the sewers because i didnt know what over encumbered ment lmfao
I was always babied by Skyrim, Oblivion, and other, more modern games so when I started playing Morrowind I saw all of the cool weapon types and went with the throwing stars, near Fort Moonmoth, saw a cliff racer and attempted to kill it, I had no idea that there was a chance to hit so I got angry from my stars missing and after I died I threw my controller down and uninstalled the game. After a few months I re-installed the game and did a little research on it's mechanics. I created a few characters until I found one I liked. The character I ended up sticking with was a Redguard named "Ronald McDonald", I had a blast and spent hours, days, weeks, and even months exploring Vvardenfell, Solstheim, and Mournhold. I was mesmerized by the vast amount of content the game had to offer and even to this day I have yet to uncover all of the secrets and tricks of the game left my Bethesda and the players that explored this alien, unforgiving, and wonderful world before me. Morrowind changed me and my point of view, at first I was appalled by older and less graphical focused games, Morrowind is great.
I clicked this video cause I too was traumatised by Morrowind. I would die from almost every fight... yes even the mudcrabs. When I got older and heard the classic oblivion line "I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!" I really felt that :')
Isn't that on the road from Balmora to Caldera? I was NOT prepared to be jumped by three dinosaur looking mouths with feet, I ended up dropping all my gear just so I could run faster. The guards were also fucking useless
This is oddly similar to my experience with Oblivion. I was a lonely child. The NPCs supplemented socialization, but I was real scared of the outside/dungeons. What finally pushed me was that mage's guild recommendation quest where you save some dude from a zombie cave. I saved the game and told myself that it was okay to die in the game, but it was still pretty scary.
I loved Morrowind. Alchemy was so OP. After several characters, I learned that you can leave Seyda Neen and head to Balmora where the alchemist had grandmaster alchemy equipment that could be easily swiped with a telekinesis potion. Make a potion to boost your intelligence to make stronger potions to boost your intelligence and make loads of money. Chameleon was a great spell/effect to use. From Balmora I'd head to Vivec and rob the vault. Oh, and the moon prison was mind-blowing the first time I saw it and floated up to explore around. Guards in that city were no joke to low-level characters. Coming back an unstoppable tank and slaughtering everyone in town was oddly satisfying. Never have I despised an enemy more than those cursed cliff racers. First time seeing this channel, by the way. I think I'll be subscribing now.
Every time I play this game, I get lost in the wilderness and it freaks me out, even if my character is on a high level with strong equipment. This is why I love Morrowind!
This game is a timeless classic. Love the realism and unforgiving nature of this game. Games need to bring back this type of directional system for quests.
Same, I much prefer the "go this direction for a bit and turn left at the forked tree, off you go." kind of quest that just gives you a bit of info and makes you think over the modern trend of simplified routes with quest markers and constant pop ups of "pick up the artefact", "go to the exit", "deliver the artefact". As much as I like Skyrim I could never get as immersed into it as I do even to this day with Morrowind.
Does anyone else sometimes think back about this, and how the world was so mysterious, like you never got to the centre of it but were only scraping a surface. The memories I have of it are so vivid. The xbox version was absolutely the way to go back in 2002.
Yes, that’s exactly how I feel about morrowind. It was so mysterious and everything felt like an adventure. No game really has came close to it. Maybe oblivion a little bit, Skyrim definitely not
This happened to me when I played oblivion. Exiting the sewers to a peaceful land, making my way to Jauffre when the music freezes, camera spins & im confronted by a tiger-faced bandit (Khajiit) demanding me to pay-up or die.
I remember my first time playing Morrowind and I got lost and had to find my way to a village. Then I got lost again. I could not find my way around that place.
Dude I was the same as a kid. I thought about Morrowind all the time. I really loved it. I stopped the main quest at the puzzle box quest as well. I actually started playing it again a couple years ago. Still really enjoy playing it. Just beat the game for the first time just a few month ago!
It sounds like you and I had very similar experiences with first jumping into Morrowind as kids. I started playing when I was in 5th grade and I became afraid of the wilderness immediately. The landscape was incredible, though, and I kept exploring all along the coast. I guess at the time I thought the coastline was safest since if I ran into a tough enemy I could just swim out a ways and escape? I don't know, but I definitely stumbled upon a number of places that I had no business being in at that current point in the game. Like finding that one tribesman with the magical orb shield around him. Confusing and intriguing for a young mind!
My 12 year old son and I love your channel and your videos. You got the CHARISMA, man! Keep putting out Oblivion and Skyrim videos and we'll keep liking them.
It's like watching a summery of my experience. Great video! Sure would love a 40 min one to really get that big ass nostalgia trip going... oh well, always have muh skooma to cheer me up.
I wasn't traumatized when playing skyrim and the others at the time, though I was not prepared for Daggerfall and Arena, from suddenly skeleton screams, to random audio glitches. Arena sure had some creepy design choices for the monster as well, the atmosphere were 10x better than skyrim's attempts at a dark atmosphere
Given how similar your childhood experiences with this game are to mine, I fully expected you to mention the CORPRUS STALKERS. My ultimate test of courage when I was a kid was to clear out that Corprus-infested spooky house in Ald Ruhn (I think).
Damn man, still must’ve been cool to play this at that age. Maybe even appreciated it more? I was only like 6 at the time.....never got a chance to play this one
i remember everytime it rained i would run under a roof and stand there waiting till it ends, i knew i could just skip a few hours, but i didn't, i wanted to experience every single minute of that game without missing something, i wanted to stand there and wait, like i live there, i watched npcs go by... that game had a big impact on me as a kid lol, the memories of morrowind are still very vivid, it is the most atmospheric game i played.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who couldn't find the cube! I beat the entirety of that ruin on a low level after 40 hours in the game only to finally realize it was just in the first room.
Morrowind is my favorite game, when I play Skyrim I tried modding it to get rid of fast travel, and markers so it could resemble morrowind. I also got a reputation mod, but wasn’t really that Impressed. I started adding new lore book collections, and harder combat. Once I did this, I got an oblivion type hud, as well as Character Creation Overhaul (classic classes) and Ordinator (Better perks.) once I did this, I improved the looting system, and the leveled lists by grabbing morrowloot ultimate, and rebalanced leveled lists. After this was complete, I got JK’s Skyrim (which makes the cities have a bit more to them) as well as heavy armory, which added in dozens of new weapons for elven, daedric, steel, etc. Even after doing all of this, it wasn’t as great as morrowind was. (Edit: I forgot to add in beasts of Tamriel, and Diverse dragons. these mods sorta resemble the amount of unique creatures in morrowind. Still not as good as morrowind.)
I enjoy skyUI paper style by el sopa, as well as paper style map. I got a couple of mods that improve the college of winterhold. I usually go for Noble Skyrim Architecture, Chantry College of Winterhold (overwriting noble Skyrim) and skyland dungeons, imperial forts, and Nordic ruins. Also using skyland landscapes with slightly more blended roads. Enb wise, I like Taz Visual Overhaul since it looks the most next gen, but I’d be going for Rudy ENB, with obsidian weathers.
I never made it past the second level in Spyro because all the lava and monsters terrified me, so I instead spent all my time trying to break out of bounds in the tutorial area
I really dig this delivery and tone of voice you use in this video. It's not like the over-the-top voice that you make in other videos. Very refreshing.
When I played this I was so young I didnt know what leveling up was. So after years of struggling my dad told me to level up and i had a ridiculous amount of points saved up. I felt like a god
That's not even how leveling-up in Morrowind works. You don't have "points saved up" in Morrowind if you neglect to enter the level-up screen. Your skills are ALWAYS getting better, regardless of your level. I also find it VERY hard to believe you played for so long without ever "Resting", which would automatically prompt the Level-Up screen. The only thing you would miss out from not levelling-up is the x3 modifiers for your attributes. (Which also can't be "saved up" beyond a meager x5) Fake story is fake.
@@28Pluto lol bro I swear. I'm trying to remember exactly how I ended up that way. Keep in mind I was also a kid who left the main quest line, ran off into the middle of nowhere and got killed by a cliff racer then rage quit. Maybe it was the first time I actually used a bed to rest. Idk man I know there was a point where I suddenly got better at the game lol
I remember the first time I played Morrowind was when I was visiting family in America. I didn't speak English barely at all but all I knew was it was a game, and had cat people in it, so it was good to me lol. I just kinda went around and killed people since I couldn't understand practically anything but I had fun anyway- I bought it off steam a while back since I don't have that old disk, and I can still say that just going around and killing people is still fun
It's like two or three rooms and only four types of traps. It gets tiring super fast, and they haven't really improved in the last games. Skyrim always feels like I'm gonna jump a few bandits, loot a urn, kill a rat, disable a lever trap, kill a bandit chief, get out via an alternate entrance
I got Morrowind the same way, lookin around, huh only costs 10€. Startes the game and 3 mins later my mom heard my yell in my room: "F*** this goddamn flying b**** Dinosaur!"
The first time I played Morrowind I dumped the documents you're supposed to give to Caius Cosades out in the wilderness in order to make place for a nice silver bowl I found.

Yes! That shit traumatised 8 year old me!
Shrine guardian in the elder scrolls legends when he is played: "the things I'll do to their corpses"
Lmao
I can't tell you how many memories I have with this game.....
"It was a whole new life inside my computer."
In my case, it was my only life.
Question: The neighbor's child is so annoying what should I do
Answer: be naked with a woman and chase that child down
This game is a timeless classic. Love the realism and unforgiving nature of this game. Games need to bring back this type of directional system for quests.
Same, I much prefer the "go this direction for a bit and turn left at the forked tree, off you go." kind of quest that just gives you a bit of info and makes you think over the modern trend of simplified routes with quest markers and constant pop ups of "pick up the artefact", "go to the exit", "deliver the artefact". As much as I like Skyrim I could never get as immersed into it as I do even to this day with Morrowind.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the closest, I think. Also Arx Fatalis and EyE Cybermancy.
No they don't. That's a thing of the past and we should leave it as it's part of these old games charm
@@blxckjxck47 so what you're saying is games shouldn't go back to being good because being good is only for old games? k
@@JarlFrank nope not what I said
Haven’t heard from you in a while. How’s it going dude!!!!
Not bad
@@TheCantinaChannel Story of my life
@@TheCantinaChannel I've heard others same the same.
Does anyone else sometimes think back about this, and how the world was so mysterious, like you never got to the centre of it but were only scraping a surface. The memories I have of it are so vivid. The xbox version was absolutely the way to go back in 2002.
Yes, that’s exactly how I feel about morrowind. It was so mysterious and everything felt like an adventure. No game really has came close to it. Maybe oblivion a little bit, Skyrim definitely not
Consoles are never the way to go especially with Bethesda games.
The close I found was playing Dark Souls without reading anything. It captured the same feeling of mystery
This happened to me when I played oblivion. Exiting the sewers to a peaceful land, making my way to Jauffre when the music freezes, camera spins & im confronted by a tiger-faced bandit (Khajiit) demanding me to pay-up or die.
happened to me as well. got chased all the way to weynon priory needless to say i was mortified
I remember my first time playing Morrowind and I got lost and had to find my way to a village. Then I got lost again. I could not find my way around that place.
I still haven’t gotten good at the game 😞😂
Play it on your smartphone. Look for open microwave on the playstore. Thank me later.
@Bill Dauterive its a pseudonym for open morrowind =open microwave. Trust me its great.
@Bill Dauterive yo i am playing the shite outof this app. It has full mod support
@Bill Dauterive I hacked morrowind so badly. I play it on a server with 64 players :)
@Bill Dauterive you can play fallout 3 or even skYrim wirh this app
“Peaceful, serene adventure..”
woah dude, don’t call my Skyrim modlist out. Lmao
You're really far from home, Clem.
Laura James *~chuckles~* I’m in danger lmao
I didn't even finish watching and subbed cause not enough people talk about morrowind. Respect m8
Keep making videos, man! I really love your stuff!
Thanks dude!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loved this game, but was also terrified by it as a child lol
Dude I was the same as a kid. I thought about Morrowind all the time. I really loved it. I stopped the main quest at the puzzle box quest as well. I actually started playing it again a couple years ago. Still really enjoy playing it. Just beat the game for the first time just a few month ago!
Navigating around morrowind at 9 years old is genuinely terrifying
It sounds like you and I had very similar experiences with first jumping into Morrowind as kids. I started playing when I was in 5th grade and I became afraid of the wilderness immediately. The landscape was incredible, though, and I kept exploring all along the coast. I guess at the time I thought the coastline was safest since if I ran into a tough enemy I could just swim out a ways and escape? I don't know, but I definitely stumbled upon a number of places that I had no business being in at that current point in the game. Like finding that one tribesman with the magical orb shield around him. Confusing and intriguing for a young mind!
I completely feel the fear caused by the Kamas... I nearly pissed my pants every time I had to go into their egg mines for a quest 😂
Haha
My 12 year old son and I love your channel and your videos. You got the CHARISMA, man! Keep putting out Oblivion and Skyrim videos and we'll keep liking them.
this game is a year older than I am and I still play it to this day. what a game.
I was a about 30 years old when this game came out and it traimatized me as well LOL
Honestly one of my favorite youtubers
It's like watching a summery of my experience.
Great video! Sure would love a 40 min one to really get that big ass nostalgia trip going... oh well, always have muh skooma to cheer me up.
0:22 Hahahaha my childhood.
Home: playing games
School: dreaming about playing games
Your childhood Cantina, was my childhood. I used to dream about Twisted Metal all the time in junior high on the walk home.
Please upload more frequently! We need more Cantina, its so joyfull to watch!
I love these machinima-storytime kind of videos, i wouldn't mind seeing more of them
I've been a fan for like a year and i love your videos
I wasn't traumatized when playing skyrim and the others at the time, though I was not prepared for Daggerfall and Arena, from suddenly skeleton screams, to random audio glitches. Arena sure had some creepy design choices for the monster as well, the atmosphere were 10x better than skyrim's attempts at a dark atmosphere
VERY RELATABLE. It was definitely a “game changer” for me
i love this new style of video
Thanks man glad to hear it!
@gavin r i love your profile pic
I'll never forget being a small child and seeing a vampire for the first time
Given how similar your childhood experiences with this game are to mine, I fully expected you to mention the CORPRUS STALKERS. My ultimate test of courage when I was a kid was to clear out that Corprus-infested spooky house in Ald Ruhn (I think).
lol this game used to scare me too when i was a kid but mostly cause id always kill people and the guards scared me
I was upset by the "slug" too, till I learned I had a powerful Bound Dagger that killed various Nix-hounds and Kwama Foragers in the begining.
thanks for the giggle
your story is very relatable to my young self :)
Missed seeing vids by you man! Glad you're still around.
This is genuinely your funniest video yet lol hahah
Cantina:uploads
me:i am speed clicker man
Back like he never left wit da good content 💯
MAN an RPG game set entirely in a city would be super cool
Hi Cantina, What are some of your favorite RPG’s?
Please do a video of your first oblivion memories, oblivion mastah!
I was 19 when it came out, so now you've made me feel old.
Damn man, still must’ve been cool to play this at that age. Maybe even appreciated it more? I was only like 6 at the time.....never got a chance to play this one
i remember everytime it rained i would run under a roof and stand there waiting till it ends, i knew i could just skip a few hours, but i didn't, i wanted to experience every single minute of that game without missing something, i wanted to stand there and wait, like i live there, i watched npcs go by... that game had a big impact on me as a kid lol, the memories of morrowind are still very vivid, it is the most atmospheric game i played.
You actually uploaded? Holy shit!
Ya haha
Who wouldn't be afraid of that wilderness? I mean look at those trees!
"If you are the type who is more a sinner than a sinned, You'll find it all in Morrowind."
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who couldn't find the cube! I beat the entirety of that ruin on a low level after 40 hours in the game only to finally realize it was just in the first room.
Best game ever this was my childhood I don’t think there is a single thing in the game I haven’t done .
Morrowind is my favorite game, when I play Skyrim I tried modding it to get rid of fast travel, and markers so it could resemble morrowind. I also got a reputation mod, but wasn’t really that Impressed. I started adding new lore book collections, and harder combat. Once I did this, I got an oblivion type hud, as well as Character Creation Overhaul (classic classes) and Ordinator (Better perks.) once I did this, I improved the looting system, and the leveled lists by grabbing morrowloot ultimate, and rebalanced leveled lists. After this was complete, I got JK’s Skyrim (which makes the cities have a bit more to them) as well as heavy armory, which added in dozens of new weapons for elven, daedric, steel, etc. Even after doing all of this, it wasn’t as great as morrowind was.
(Edit: I forgot to add in beasts of Tamriel, and Diverse dragons. these mods sorta resemble the amount of unique creatures in morrowind. Still not as good as morrowind.)
Play it on your smartphone.
Enderal Forgotten Stories will make you happier)
I enjoy skyUI paper style by el sopa, as well as paper style map. I got a couple of mods that improve the college of winterhold. I usually go for Noble Skyrim Architecture, Chantry College of Winterhold (overwriting noble Skyrim) and skyland dungeons, imperial forts, and Nordic ruins. Also using skyland landscapes with slightly more blended roads. Enb wise, I like Taz Visual Overhaul since it looks the most next gen, but I’d be going for Rudy ENB, with obsidian weathers.
@@jherrn5056 im gay tho
The Champion returns during these dark times!!!!! Missed you Cantina!
i remember sneaking the whole game lul
missed u
I never made it past the second level in Spyro because all the lava and monsters terrified me, so I instead spent all my time trying to break out of bounds in the tutorial area
I really dig this delivery and tone of voice you use in this video. It's not like the over-the-top voice that you make in other videos. Very refreshing.
16 times the details
Im still playing
6th House caves are legit the scariest thing I have experience in video games. And I played Silent Hill, Manhunt, Condemned...
Never played this but I remember my mindset as a kid playing video games and this is just such a great video, thank you for the story
When I played this I was so young I didnt know what leveling up was. So after years of struggling my dad told me to level up and i had a ridiculous amount of points saved up. I felt like a god
That's not even how leveling-up in Morrowind works.
You don't have "points saved up" in Morrowind if you neglect to enter the level-up screen. Your skills are ALWAYS getting better, regardless of your level.
I also find it VERY hard to believe you played for so long without ever "Resting", which would automatically prompt the Level-Up screen.
The only thing you would miss out from not levelling-up is the x3 modifiers for your attributes. (Which also can't be "saved up" beyond a meager x5)
Fake story is fake.
@@28Pluto lol bro I swear. I'm trying to remember exactly how I ended up that way. Keep in mind I was also a kid who left the main quest line, ran off into the middle of nowhere and got killed by a cliff racer then rage quit. Maybe it was the first time I actually used a bed to rest. Idk man I know there was a point where I suddenly got better at the game lol
80’s kids: this game is so cool!
90’s and 00’s: this game traumatized my childhood
Man I just started watching, and have now finished watching your Morrowind Let's Plays. Any chance of continuing that story?
There's a dagger under the pillow? *Restarts morrowind*
I remember the first time I played Morrowind was when I was visiting family in America. I didn't speak English barely at all but all I knew was it was a game, and had cat people in it, so it was good to me lol. I just kinda went around and killed people since I couldn't understand practically anything but I had fun anyway- I bought it off steam a while back since I don't have that old disk, and I can still say that just going around and killing people is still fun
I also think that dungeons are the weakest part of Elder Scrolls games.
It's like two or three rooms and only four types of traps. It gets tiring super fast, and they haven't really improved in the last games. Skyrim always feels like I'm gonna jump a few bandits, loot a urn, kill a rat, disable a lever trap, kill a bandit chief, get out via an alternate entrance
This was awesome thanks for sharing your experiences, and well done on a great video.
That was hillarious, thank you, made my day a lot happier
I got Morrowind the same way, lookin around, huh only costs 10€. Startes the game and 3 mins later my mom heard my yell in my room: "F*** this goddamn flying b**** Dinosaur!"
Haha
I clicked fast
