    One of the best parts of the Zainab Nerevarine quest is that you can talk to the ashkahn after it's done and he'll say he wasn't actually fooled into thinking the dressed up slave was a Telvanni noble. He named you Nerevarine anyway because you had the balls to try and trick him in such an elaborate manner.

      I know that feeling. It's not always about winning a hard fight, or thinking an intelligent way around an obstacle, but it's subtle things like paying attention to the interactions available and realizing that the world and characters are not always one dimensional. It's immersive cause it encourages you to speculate more for the intentions of the other NPCs that maybe are more vague based on the circumstances that you encounter them. The game has a lot of character and charm, for sure.

      It should be said that in Morrowind, becoming a demigod is something you actually have to work to become. It's not like other Elder Scrolls games where you are just handed the keys to "a ferrari" 10 seconds after the tutorial and you're knocking down all of your enemies within 5 minutes of understanding the combat system.
      Morrowind rewards caution with progression and rewards carelessness with death. The world NOT leveling with you is the best part of the game because it means most areas are inaccessible until you become powerful enough to go there.

      Are you suggesting there's a game better than Morrowind?
      Fun fact. Every Bethesda game since Morrowind has not only been running on the ancient Gamebryo engine. But they all basically use the same exact construction set software. Which is essentially basic openworld RPG maker software. So if you're looking for something better than Morrowind. You know what you're gonna get? Morrowind.

    • @JeremyFinch42
      @JeremyFinch42 3 місяці тому +5

      Like, I kid you not. The Morrowind Construction Set and Fallout New Vegas' G.E.C.K are the same fucking software, and to top it off the G.E.C.K for FO3 AND NV uses a lot of the old scripting techniques from Morrowind. Item effects are called enchantments. And all the fucking magic schools are easily found in skills. It's the same fucking game. It also doesn't help that if you're skilled enough in making models and textures, you yourself could upscale Morrowind using Blender. For how ancient of a tool this is. You can surprisingly fool people with it for quite a long while.

      Bethesda saw Skyrim as their "greatest creation", but Skyrim was only successful because Morrowind, followed by Oblivion, were such great games. The previous TES fanbase LOVED those games and created a ton of hype around Skyrim that brought it to the mainstream with even the most casual players and expanded the fanbase tenfold.
      Skyrim's design is subpar compared to both Morrowind and Oblivion and you can't change my mind. It was a good game, sure, but it did almost nothing to innovate the series beyond better graphics.

      Since stealth in Morrowind is not very robust I downloaded a bunch of mods to help with that. I won't go into detail I'll just say that I had a mod that gave me climbing tools. I could climb and repel vertical surfaces. the modder even took the time to convert any cells in the game that were next to a window and assign them an open locked or trapped status.
      What a great feeling it was to scale up a wall drink a potion of restore fatigue and lock pick my way into a character's room by being sneaky was amazing.

      That's what the secret books allude to as well as the failed incarnates to a minor degree; You get picked by Azura but don't have to follow the prophecy which is why the incarnates failed, but the actual exact thing that makes the Nerevarine prophecy is the ring Moon and Star until you realize NPC's can equip it too.
      Azura kinda makes a pathway for you to take to fill the prophecy, and what you do with it is up to you.

      I think NPCs being able to equip the ring is just an oversight. The player/Nerevarine WAS the Nerevarine, but the game actually makes you question whether or not it's true with how weak you are, starting out. Building your character and becoming the Nerevarine is what makes Morrowind so great. In later TES titles, you essentially are just handed prophetic titles and are powerful right out of the gate, in Morrowind, you have to earn it.

      I know the ring being equippable by NPC's is very likely an oversight, but it's still funny to me that the ring that can only be worn by a specific person with a specific soul can be worn by anyone but the quest to acquire it makes you into a god-like being through the trials required to reach said ring.
      I'd also heavily agree on that titling situation in later ES games and even Fallout 4; you're handed titles for doing small things (Save some settlements? You're a general now. Helped your son with a few robot quests? You're now the institute leader.) which really started with The Hero of Kavatch and got worse overtime.

    I don't remember if Owen said this in the video, but if you're going to hit something, PLEASE have a full stamina bar and charge your attacks, both of these things are REALLY important for your chance to hit.
    Also, charging your attacks will improve the damage you inflict, so try not to spam clicks over and over or you won't hit anything, specially at lower levels

    One good way to add variety to the game’s music is take the music mp3 files from the oblivion data folder and just place it into Morrowind’s music folder. It’ll add some variety that doesn’t feel too out of place. You can unpack Skyrim’s audio bsa and use those files too if you want to add them.

    Fun fact: you can use restoration to boost disposition too!
    In a similar method to the boots of blinding speed equip, you just need to buy a fortify attribute spell, and rhen make a fortify personality 100pts for 1sec spell, this boosts most npc dispositions to 100, since your personality is more than 100, even if you're an orc, which has the lowest personality in the game.
    I also enjoy using alteration, and enchanting to mitigate the slow-walking, long 1 point slowfall and a very short, high power jump usually does the trick.

    By the looks of Starfield(I haven't played more than half an hour but already noticed its pretty empty with hours of inventory management) what I didn't realize is that the landscape is quite amazing and, concerning mainly around TES 6, they're in the fields of remastering Arena or that scale of open-world to explore. Real life can be pretty empty and boring in the desert, fighting ghosts and whatever you don't really need to populate the world of Arena with an encounter every 20 min or so. Use AI for town creations, set up economic relations, and randomize that everything for each new character.

    For the boots of blinding speed, if you don't wanna use magic and can't use magic for whatever reason, you can buy 5 exclusive resist magicka potions from the alchemist in balmora, they restock so no need to wait just buy it and reopen her bartering inventory. They'll stack and give you 100% resistance to avoid the blind. It is more expensive for a new character though. Around 1k+ But that's easy to get if you know what you're doing.

  • @Wlerin7
    @Wlerin7 4 місяці тому +1

    3:06 Fun thing about Morrowind. That's not a mistake. Making skills you're going to use all the time a major/minor skill is the mistake. You can get every skill to 100 eventually, but you're going to want about 20 skill-ups per level, in order to maximise stat gains. (3 stat picks per level, between +1 and +5 depending on how many ranks of a related skill you gained while levelling up. You only need 20 since the third stat pick should be Luck, which has no associated skill.) Also you'll hit the level cap sooner the higher your major and minor skills are starting out (e.g. if you double up on skills from your race and your class).
    Of course you can probably do fine without worrying about all of that. It's not a terribly difficult game.

    • @Cyberwar101

      That's bad advice for new players. Min-maxing morrowind makes the early game much harder if you don't know what you are doing, and you still get ridiculously powerful in the late game compared to the NPCs. A late-game min-maxed character will walk all over the games challenge, yes, but the challenge will be overcome anyway by level 15

    Getting people into Morrowind is always a balance of letting them know enough to not get frustrated and give up, and not telling them too much and making the game too predictable and easy.
    It all depends on the person's experience, expectations, preference, and patience. I'm happy to dig through layers of jank if I feel like I can dig out some gold nuggets, but some people will be completely turned off for the most minor thing.

    I love both games tbh. Played about 200 hours of starfield on gamepass and am now taking a break til i see what the first dlc looks like but i will definitely be getting back into it.
    Morrowind i love as well and only started playing it a year or two before starfield came out but its great. Only complaint is the game is really too easy even if you go out of your way not to cheese stuff. Gold is overly abundant even with a mod that makes training, travel, and shopping more expensive and gold basically directly translates to power through trainers and enchants. No matter what limits i set on myself, by level 14 or 15 i inevitably become so strong that 90% of enemies are just pissants and kiting is just way too easy in openmw which is probably still better than them not knowing how to use half their spells in goty edition. Aside from that complaint, i love everything else. The world, the lore, the art style, even the combat people complain about so much.
    Both solid games worthy of both praise and criticism although i would say they former gets too much criticism and the latter gets too much praise for being so challenging and unforgiving when in reality money+jump effect= untouchable powerhouse.

    I tried many times previously to get into Morrowind but struggled, installing combat mods helped but in the end I still gave up
    A few weeks back I started it on the Xbox to force myself to play it vanilla and it was fantastic, especially the feeling of getting better and better (I also cheesed it slightly with getting daedric weapons at level 1 by using the mine near Balmora, the boots of blinding speed in conjunction with a resist magicka 100% for 1 second spell and a very cheap levitation spell, I can’t deal with the base movement speed).
    I can safely say it’s the most I’ve been invested in a game for a while and after finishing the game and DLCs with my level 12 Dunmer (yes I rushed through and made it hard for myself), I’ve started another character, a nord this time, and I’m level 8 but still yet to touch the main story. The game is a strong 9/10 if not a 10/10 and I recommend everyone play it

      Hit I admit I also cheat with. But I use the alchemy stack exploit, shoot my intelligence sky-high then make a hit chance and feather potion. Gets rid of the two things I still really dislike about the game, the carry weight and the missing, especially with a weapon I'm terrible in.
