    The Silt Striders and Netch were such alien and interesting creatures, they really helped make Morrowind a special game. I was overjoyed when I saw them again the the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim.

    I've always had a softspot for these creatures, and wondered why they were never really mentioned much after Morrowind. It's obvious why they weren't recurring in later games, due to having the ability to fast travel at any time, but I hope the last bit of the lore is expanded upon canonically, and they make a comeback.

    • @The.Nasty.
      @The.Nasty. 2 місяці тому +5

      I guess they just didn’t fit the theme, cause Skyrim did have the wagon carts that acted just like silt striders for transport… so it’s not like they couldn’t.
      Lore-wise: I don’t think it would be worth it to import the eggs to Cyrodil or Skyrim, raise them, and build a strider tower in every town… when horses work perfectly fine.
      Horses and wagons don’t seem like they’d work well in the swampy, volcanic, crazy terrain of Vardenfell.

  • @deathgnomes
    @deathgnomes 2 місяці тому +13

    By the Nine Divines I hope thats true, that Dusty isn't dying but is simply waiting to give birth and that there will be more Silt Striders. Morrowind is my favorite game of all time, it helped me get through some really bad times by providing a much needed escape. Hearing in Skyrim that Vvardenfell had been basically destroyed was a deeply upsetting thing to hear.

    I love how in-depth and fleshed out the Dunmer culture is in Morrowind. Kirkbride did such an amazing job making Vvardenfell feel alien and unique. It surprised me how much I came to respect the Dunmer and the creatures that inhabit the land. Well, aside from Cliffracers, that is.
    But Saint Jiub sorted them out eventually.

I've also never liked the Red Year, since it just deletes one of Tamriel's most interesting landscapes, only to replace it with a horribly dull one.
