your playthrough made me play morrowind for the first time, i originally expected to not be able to play it myself bc of age, jank, no markers, etc, but i’ve fell in love with the game since
That’s amazing! That’s honestly how I felt playing through it too. I thought its age and different gameplay mechanics would be difficult for me to get past, but I fell in love with it quickly too!
Thank you man. Morrowind is a great game and it deserves continual attention despite being 20+ years old. I know you just completed the main quest and still have many side quests, along with numerous faction quests, and also the two expansions to cover! But please don't forget Tamriel Rebuilt.
not even joking, but right now you are my favorite youtuber. your contents are fascinating and just so calming. i adore video essays and your contents fits what i love.
I will be here for every scrap of Morrowind content you release. I think you will have a blast with the expansions, I'm personally most excited for Tribunal, probably due to inch thick nostalgia goggles in some part, but I've always loved everything about the Tribunal expansion. The armor, weapons, story, new zone, I was a big fan of the entire package.
This is absolutely exceptional stuff! Your voice is clear, concise and on the correct side of calm without being drole or dull. The narrative is enjoyable, succinct without being lazy and perfect for relaxing periods. Thank you
Dude... now I have to play through Morrowind again for the first time in years. And now w\o God mode for my first 10 levels like I use to. No PC for it now. Got it on Xbox. Well, thanks for the reminder of how much I love this story, in spite of the slog to get there. Great video, truly! Imma go prep myself for hurling my controller at the TV. 😂
People these days often say that Morrowind looks awful but I know for sure that everyone got spooked by a nix hound or ascended sleeper on their first playthrough.
What makes Morrowind stand out is the landscape, that's for sure. Those big mushrooms and the adobe houses, unique for sure, at least compared to other TES games.
Loving this video. Can't help but feel you missed out on an opportunity to sing the entire narration. haha. As Bards songs are usually stories of heroes and adventures anyway! Im happy to see this game still getting love. High Fantasy needs to make a comeback.
I've watched the all the parts of the main quest line and maybe will watch this one as well. Have to say, Morrowind is a game that makes me slow down my pace, because wanting to play this game as fast as possible makes it all feel cumbersome. Not because of bad design, this is one of my fave games after all, but the game asks this from me in it's own, good way. It's not about respecting my time, it's about the world they've delivered that needs to be understood, for the best experience. An organisation like the Twin Lamps is a good example of discovering things on your own in Morrowind.
Ngl you've become my favourite youtuber. I really enjoy your style of videos, always look forward to them! And so happy you've been playing Morrowind, I never finished the game myself, but used to have fun with it as a kid. Brings up such nostalgia.
Something big that you missed out of is that Ghostgate has a vendor that is the only guy who sells Glass Armour, the best light armour in the game. If you knew that it could've been a really good place to stock up before the finale.
@DancesRainyStreets I would say so yeah, since pretty much a lot of sidequests that you do in Morrowind are indirectly related to the main plot of the game, even without following Caius orders the game always is hinting you that you should really check on that nerevarine story people keep yapping about
Railing two fat lines of moon sugar with my girl Sugar-Lips Habasi, got a couple bottles of flin and some fried saltrice; bout to let this video ride and enjoy myself
I am grateful for this video as I can't play Morrowind, but have wanted to for many years. oh! and don't worry about pronunciation.. it changes from game to game and sometimes from NPC to NPC
Vivec is half golden because before they were cursed with ashen skin and red eyes the Dunmer were the Chimer. Vivec used his power to keep himself half Chimer and half Dunmer.
@@ABardsBalladThey pop up in books but they don't really still exist anymore in later games. The only two still around, AFAIK, are Almalexia who is still full Chimer, and Vivec.
@@ABardsBallad Almalexia is dead so now there aren’t any left. But it’s theorized that the Dunmer’s curse is wearing off. Which that’d be super cool if in the next game some of the Dunmer that were born more recently have been born with golden skin. And the player can choose golden skin if they’re playing as a Dunmer
I watched this as episodes, I watch this as a movie, what's wrong with me, I just love watching it😅. Oh, universe, hear my pledge, and let the new tv show on Netflix be on Morrowind stories.
I've been trying so hard not to restart the game after finding an old xbox copy unpacking last week (I have a 360, the absolute slowest way to run the game possible, slower than jut on xbox). I can already tell clicking this, its gonna happen, as inevitable as the fate of Vivec City.
*teeeeechnically* alulakhan isn't a part of dwemer history. It's a crude copy of numidium which was the brass tower and original god attached to the heart built by the dwemer
Really enjoyed your takes and journey throug this gem of a game! I played throug Morrowind years ago, and it is what introduced me to PC gaming. One thing i want to share, one truly has to take this journey to appreciate gems such as this, and it makes me smile every time: ua-cam.com/video/iR-K2rUP86M/v-deo.htmlsi=VQDhVd02vXUD4vPi
Now THIS is how you honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned
The Dwemer and Dagoth Ur would be proud 🫡
Would've been funny if he picked a farm tool.
What a grand and intoxicating comment!
I’m a simple man, I see a morrowind narrative of the main quest, I subscribe and like before sitting in for this dream 4 hour masterpiece
4 hours? By the sixth house unmourned! You bet I will watch this!
That’s what I love to hear!! 😂 :) enjoy it my friend!
Bard is incapable of not dropping peak content on a regular basis
Haha I love to hear it! I hope you enjoy this one and thank you again for the support! :)
so true

I'm always so happy to see someone discover and enjoy Morrowind, it's such an amazing game :)
And very nice vid, must've been a crazy amount of work!

About to end my break and finish the last 5 hours of my shift, and I find this absolute gem. Fantastic 😃
Really needed something familiar and calming today.
You got me through it lol. Keep it up. Look forward to more stories

100%! The buildings, houses, landscapes, everything! They have such a unique feel to them in this game!
Best elderscrolls youtube channel right now - thank you for the content.

This Morrowind content is incredible 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I appreciate it! The videos are tons of fun to make!!
If you watch this and are not subscribed what is wrong with you N,wah?
That’s what I like to hear!! 😂

That really means a lot! :) I really appreciate the continued support and I’m glad that you got to experience the game again through these videos!
I love this game so much. Never been another game like it
I may have watched every episode on release but I'm wholeheartedly here for "the movie" enjoying the weekend
Amazing job, sad I can only subscribe once!
Your fanbase is gonna blow up in the future!
Great content man I really enjoy the way you tell a story !
Well done as always 👏 👍 are you going to do a compilation of side quests cuz there are so many and just exploration in general?
Can't wait to binge this after I get off work
I hope you enjoy it my friend!
Bard: *Uploads a video that rivals an Oscar Bait documentary in length*
Me: *Grabs popcorn* 🍿
Was just watching the “short 12 hour retrospective” but you know I had to come your video brother
Jeeeeez I respect it and appreciate it my friend!! I love it! Thank you for the support 🙏
been waiting for this since you started the morrowind uploads
That’s awesome! Well it’s finally here so I hope it delivers and that you enjoyed it! :)
Watched the parts by themselves, now im watching them again together, hope u will cover the rest of the game and mournhold too
You’ve never posted a bad video. Thats insane.
This series made me start my own playthrough and I don’t regret it! Definitely had to mod it to hell for my own use but it’s still a great game!
Something big that you missed out of is that Ghostgate has a vendor that is the only guy who sells Glass Armour, the best light armour in the game. If you knew that it could've been a really good place to stock up before the finale.
Ahh I see! Well I appreciate you telling me about them! I’ll have to pay a visit to them still!
@@ABardsBallad Yeah its really easy to miss out on because its in the Tower of Dusk basement.
Sunava, I discover your channel, at 2am and this vid too! Watch it when I wake up.
Haha glad you found it! I hope you enjoy it :)
Tbh,i just being addicted to Morrowind because of the gameplay
That’s totally fair! It has its riveting moments that’s for sure 😂
By Azura a nice long video while I grind some ESO thank you Bard!
Let’s gooo! I hope you enjoy it!!
A new video touches the beacon!(And by beacon I mean my elder scrolls to sleep to playlist)
That’s perfect!! 😂 I hope 4.5 hours would be plenty to help out in that front lol
Just like your oblivion videos made me play oblivion now I really want to play morrowind, this vid is based
Can't wait for the side quests video
What's this? A 4 and a half hour on my favorite story driven rpg of all time? Hell yeah, I'm in
Is Morrowind really story driven? Games like Planescape: Torment and the Final Fantasy series (the old ones at least) sure are.
@DancesRainyStreets I would say so yeah, since pretty much a lot of sidequests that you do in Morrowind are indirectly related to the main plot of the game, even without following Caius orders the game always is hinting you that you should really check on that nerevarine story people keep yapping about
@@thecore8605 I'd say it's more about world building and player freedom, but the Nerevarine prophecy will be heard or read indeed, that's true.
Yay! This will be great to listen to at work.
I hope you enjoy it! :)
Listening to this video while playing morrowind
That’s definitely a vibe 👌
@ABardsBallad keep up the great work bro
Railing two fat lines of moon sugar with my girl Sugar-Lips Habasi, got a couple bottles of flin and some fried saltrice; bout to let this video ride and enjoy myself
Haha I love it! I hope you enjoy the video my friend!
Next time, install Tamriel Rebuilt and play over 600 new quests.
you rock dude - will be binge-ing!
I love to hear it! I hope you enjoy it my friend! :)
This is awesome dude
I really hope you enjoy it!
I am grateful for this video as I can't play Morrowind,
but have wanted to for many years.
oh! and don't worry about pronunciation..
it changes from game to game and sometimes from NPC to NPC
I fucking love Morrowind, the first rpg I ever played, and still one of the best.
4 and a half hour video dropped like it’s nothing
😂 I just gotta keep em coming is all!
@@ABardsBalladfell asleep to this a video after I posted that…second attempt ahhaha
Love your videos
All praise our great leader, Saint Juib the Eradicator!
Love you for this brother
Right back at ya 😉 I hope you enjoy it!!
We sitting on the couch all day with this one boys
Haha I hope you enjoy it my friend!

@@ABardsBalladThey pop up in books but they don't really still exist anymore in later games.
The only two still around, AFAIK, are Almalexia who is still full Chimer, and Vivec.

On my 3rd watch through start to finish
I love to hear it! Appreciate the support!
Literally booted Morrowind again today 😅❤
You can’t be blamed! Such a great game to play, even after 22 years!
Thank you my friend 🎉
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
If this video helps me fall asleep on waking I'll subscribe.
I watched this as episodes, I watch this as a movie, what's wrong with me, I just love watching it😅. Oh, universe, hear my pledge, and let the new tv show on Netflix be on Morrowind stories.
The Gamerpoop Mans1ay3r reference was like my brain got activated out of sleeper mode. "I like your ass." "YOURE LYING, MORGAN!"
Welcome moon and star
This is a great video but it is very long. It would be nice if it was broken into chapters in the progress bar.
I appreciate it! Apologies that it took me so long, but chapters are finally up!
"He's half colored"
Me: *whispering* Bard we stopped calling people colored in the fifties
Lydia is constantly blocking my route
I was expecting it to be in Dagoth Ur voice.
I wish my voice sounded like that 😂
“Caius Coh-Seyds!?!?”
I've been trying so hard not to restart the game after finding an old xbox copy unpacking last week (I have a 360, the absolute slowest way to run the game possible, slower than jut on xbox).
I can already tell clicking this, its gonna happen, as inevitable as the fate of Vivec City.
12:05 average NYC experience
*teeeeechnically* alulakhan isn't a part of dwemer history. It's a crude copy of numidium which was the brass tower and original god attached to the heart built by the dwemer
Hell yeah
I hope you enjoy it! :)
Damn son, you waste NO TIME with these compilations.
😂😂 gotta keep em coming!! Too many video ideas in mind!
Please, keep em coming! Your videos are awesome for someone like me that has no time for anything, let alone one of my favorite game series.
Peak
I hope you enjoy it!
It would be really cool if you’d do some ESO storylines!
Most definitely interested in exploring it one day!!
