"The Dwemer suddenly vanished" "I wonder how" *Dwemer discovered this glitch first. Raised their intelligence so high they became self aware and blinked out of existence*
Michael Kirkbride, the major lore writer of Elder Scrolls is, well he consume a lot of psychedelic for making Morrowind alone, but he leave from Bethesda before Oblivion released, then he agree making a DLC for Oblivion, Knight of The Nine, that's why that DLC feel so mind blowing, sad that now Elders Scroll become too casual, if you interested in some good lore from Modern Elder Scrolls, your best bet is ESO.
The zero-sum individual is at least as dangerous as the Aldmeri Dominion...with their purposeful weakening of The Towers, and deliberate attempt to quash the worship of Tiber Septim/Talos. So...the big overarching metaphysical concepts of the Elder Scrolls are CHIM, and that existence itself is just the dream of an ultimate power. There are a lot of fan interpretations, and books in-universe and out-of-universe (but written by the former loremaster at Bethesda Michael Kirkbride) that give clues about all of this. The fundamentals are that CHIM is the recognition of the self as being bound by laws, and that to break those bonds requires the recognition of ecstacy that truly breaking those bonds would give...CHIM is the absolute expression of divine will...which is ironic because the gods themselves in their innate power, are hindered in the achievement of CHIM because they have fewer bonds to break. This travels down the line too...not only gods, but dragons too. Because dragons possess the innate Thu'um, they are lesser creators. The thu'um is not just some kind of simple guttural magic, it is actually a language which echoes creation magic and thus alters reality by its nature. This inherent power, and the lack of bonds of mortality by any non-divine means (the dragoborn wields the gift of Kyne with the blessing of Akatosh and is sort of twice divine by that fact). Because dragons are innately free from bonds, the instilling of a bond in the form of truly understanding mortality and how crushing it is to the sublime will by use of Joor Zah Frool (Dragonrend), literally robs them of much of their physical freedom, binding them to the ground. It is the only shout the dragons cannot learn or truly know as the very concept is alien to them right up to the moment they feel their soul being ripped from their bodies and devoured by a dragonborn. Essentially, the position both of meekness before the bonds which keep one in place, and the capacity for reason and growth, uniquely positions mortals to achieve CHIM. Famously, Talos most likely achieved CHIM before his apotheosis...and Vivec did as well, though his apotheosis was much more physical and temporary. While CHIM is the apotheosis of the will, the zero-sum is the use of the sublime will to declare the inherent absurdity of existence itself, thus placing the actualizer in a liminal state between existence and nonexistence. Depending on how deep one is willing to go with this string of lore, the proposal is that every time someone achieves CHIM and/or zero-sums, it becomes a point of absurdity...a tear in reality akin to a dragon break, only without the concurrence therein to serve as a logical patch...a truly dangerous thing which could undo all of the reality of the Elder Scrolls, as if reality is just a dream, then such points of absurdity could serve to wake The Dreamer. How many times have you awoken from a dream when you realize it's a dream? How real is your dream when you awaken? tl;dr I've been obsessed with Elder Scrolls lore for 17 years now.
He was actually in Kvatch during the Oblivion Crisis for some reason. He was killed by a Lesser Daedra in one of the houses when the Oblivion Gate opened. Why he was in Kvatch and not in either Morrowind or perhaps Solstheim after the eruption of red mountain and the argonian invasion is beyond me
Used to love enchanting a ring that does fire damage to yourself, and then making another item of clothing that would be 100% resistance to fire... It didn't do anything other than make you look like a bad ass that's constantly on fire :3

I was so incredibly proud of myself as a kid when I found out how to intelligence loop my potion making. It got to the point that I saved up all ingredients for fortify intelligence until I hit alchemy 100 before turning immortal on every consequent run, restoring x times my health per second for several minutes. All that in the early days of the internet where looking up exploits wasn't really a thing
Absolutely....I also discovered that organically. My problem with the game was I stole all the blue candles and put so many in my shipwreck home that it cashed CTD every time I made a character. I couldn't get around that concept.
jump spell. increase strength and acro at max for 1 second and jump, never need a fast travel system when you can leap the entire map, just make sure to have feather fall, was always my fav. i created it because on the online forums back then there would be challenges "who can make it from 1 side of map to the other in quickest time" and other such things. oh the good ol days. honestly any spell could be made to entirely break the game and i never viewed it as an exploit, just that my char turned into a god. the real exploits were the ones where you could increase your base stats to infinity. that's what made this game the best 1 ever made, oblivion prevented most of this stuff by default so i quickly quit playing it.
I loved getting the 'Boots of Blinding Speed' (I think that was the name, been awhile) and casting a bunch of nighteye (or was it light?) spells before putting them on therefore negating the 100% blindness curse but keeping the high speed enchantment, then making a long lasting levitation spell and zipping around the map in the air. Good times.
Put it this way found life on both the south and both pole which also means that on other planets with harsher environments the life there would have evolved into something that has adjusted to it over generations which basically mean for all we know human like cats do and don't exist because we can't prove no disprove them due to the fact of the information on aliens is little and also little known, so in conclusion it's possible
in watching this, it reminds me of a training glitch i used. you can get a drain skill spell and then change it to self and drain for 100 points for 1 or 2 seconds, then talk to the trainer right after casting and train the skill up for 1 gold piece
What I liked back in Morrowind was enchanting my boots with just 1 point of constant effect slow fall. This meant I could dive off of high places, get down pretty much at terminal velocity, but still take no damage because ANY amount of slow fall = immunity from all fall damage.
It reminds me of my childhood exploiting the alchemy system. >MAKES INTELLIGENCE POTIONS, STACKS MODIFIERS, MAKES RESTORATION POTIONS, STACKS MODIFIERS, MAKES INTELLIGENCE POTIONS AGAIN, REPEAT >MAKE STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, AND OTHER POTIONS TO MAKE YOU ONE HIT EVERYONE AND TAKE NO DAMAGE best days.
@@Rakmarok Oblivion and Morrowind were the time to exploit the alchemy system. Kids these days don't know true balancing of alchemy. I sound like a fucking boomer
My favorite thing to do was to make a spell with fortify luck, soul trap, and splash. Hitting the floor with that caused you to get the fortify luck effect permanently. Do it a couple of times, and you will suddenly be very lucky with everything you do, including casting impossibly difficult spells. Make some new spells with fortify (stat), soul trap, and splash, shoot the floor, and be a god.
@The Spiffing Brit Ey Spiff, due to npc's walking about it'd be safer to cast those soul trap spells over in the corner with the beds and the wardrobe. Also I'd like to nominate the trick of doing near perminant levitation (Same method you've been showing here, just levitate with soultrap on target It clears upon reloading the save for some reason, not sure why) combined with speed having been boosted just enough to run outside the map. Oh and increased touch range via perminant telekenisis. Stole pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down with that method.... oh right, Perminant feather or whatever that carry capacity spell was too. Pretty sure I used that.... or did I just boost strength to massive levels? can't remember. Probably did both for redundancy's sake. There's also this trick with bound weapons where if you quick switch with them repeatedly by holding down both of the quick swap buttons, the skill boost they give becomes perminant. ... might require the game to lag while the swapping occurs, can't remember. It's been a while
Random NPC:Potion seller, I tell you I'm going in to battle, and I want only your strongest potions Hodd Toward: You can't handle my potions, they 're too strong for you
Another thing brit forgot to mention is if you do the glitch to bypass the tutorial, you wont be able to save until you get your orders from the captain (not sure about autosave, never made it far enough)
With the amount of Oblivion and Skyrim videos, I'm really surprised you haven't done more on Morrowind. It's easily the most "perfectly balanced" of the three
IRC you can buy "Increase skill" spell effect in Mournhold (Tribunal DLC). That's how I was able to boost my alchemy so much that I had +3000 speed potions (or something like that).
In one of the DLCs, you can hunt down a fortify skill spell pretty early on, allowing you to do this soultrap-glitch to attain infinite skills, so you could have infinite hand-to-hand and such
I literally started playing morrowind a couple days ago. I recomend you try the elder scrolls mod for medieval 2, that way you can play a new kind of game, a Toddal Howar!
I never did anything of importance in Morowind. But the best thing I remember doing is using those high jump potions from that fallen mage outside of the starter town, jumping far to the north, drinking another so I could land, then finding some guy from whom I got the "Boots of Blinding Speed" which blinded you and made you run really fast. I then made a piece of armor that upped my magic resist and nullified the blinding part of the boots. I felt so good doing that. It was so fun making your own spells and enchantments.
I started really enjoying your videos. Then I stumbled across this one with Morrowind. (actually my favorite game in the elder scrolls series). There were a few things I used to do. The Sneak trick, agility attribute trick (just jump on the side of a mountain forever), and for infinite money- I will go to Mournhold and taught the guard in the armory shop to a fight then sell all his gear to the Armory. It’s a buy and resell progress and you just reset the money every 24 to 48 hours. Works well. I even like to get a Daedric Tower Shield and put a constant effect of heal on it.
There is an exploit in training which is pretty nice. You basically make a temporary drain skill, and then immediately ask for training. For some reason the game thinks your skill is super low, and then requires less money to train it.
Yes and no. The world was decent but even back then the faces was bad. And then there was the constipation. It seems most people in Morrowind has constipation. It's especially obvious when they are getting into a fight as they all look like they are trying to put a cable down.
@@NiclasLoof dude, it was hell of impressive! mtg2 maybe have better faces, but no changeable armor, no different walk animations, no jumping or flying. but it has small numbers of animated persons, tube levels and no character generator that you can choose of like 30 different faces and races. you compare a shooter with an open world game. it's like comparing farcry 3 with guild wars 2, that's bullshit. compare it with another shooter of that time, like counterstrike... you can also say that warcraft 3 had better graphics then mgs2, in the rendered scenes but whatever. also back then, consoles were still quite comperable vs. computer graphics, may take this in consideration. show me a game of this time that had e.g. better water quality, a game where your enemies wont disappear after you killed them(for quite some time), a game that has a crime system that works if you don't glitch the shit out of it(what i did as well) a game where you have the option to play in 1st and 3rd person, fly around without much lag, become an OP flying god casting fireballs over cities killing everyone in a single strike. all you guys whine about is that the grafics are like 20 years old. maybe consider looking at a game from 1982 and compare it to morrowind. thx
one of the things that makes morrowind great is that it not only lets you do cheesy broken things it uses them against you so you actually have something to do with those cheesy broken things after you get them
I used to love playing with the spell effects in this game. I remember when I figured out how use the jump spell, and superman jump over mile and miles!
*The next episode of Hodd Toward's adventures* Traveller: Good day potion seller, I need your strongest potions, I am headed to battle Hodd Toward: I'm sorry, my potions are too strong for you traveller
Traveller: Potion seller, I tell you I'm going in to battle, and I want only your strongest potions Hodd Toward: You can't handle my potions, they 're too strong for you
I know it's a year late but one exploit is using a drain skill custom spell for 100 on self and then train with a trainer for one gold. Really streamlines the game without (technically) breaking your character, so you could achieve max level while maximizing certain stats like strength or intellect by leveling ten strength or intellect spells for a +5 increase in each and placing the third in luck, all your stats will be a natural(ish) hundred REAL quick.
Looking from today's perspective... it seems they knew what they are doing. They knew it is broken but just went with it. :D I got to some clever exploits of magica, but this is next level.
@@urosmarjanovic663 focus on alchemy. Make int increase potions. They stack. Keep making them and taking them. 10,000 int, easy. Then you can use that to make custom spells, potions, enchantments, etc. Sell the stuff worth more than the whole world to the talking mudcrab, or craft your way into killing vivec with a single hit/spell, capturing his soul, and using it to fuel your enchanted boots.
Yeah... the first glitch was literally just him jumping into a wall and that was enough to break the entire crime system of the game. And the intelligence potion exploit he was talking about is the most broken thing in any Bethesda game ever. You can become immortal and able to one shot everyone in about 15 minutes after starting a new game with that exploit
The Soul Trap Perma Exploit is so amazing when you're a conjurer, as you can use it to make Permanant Summons. I used to run around with an army when playing the game, was pretty funny for a while.
"Almost as bad as Raid Shadow Legends." *Looks down to see Raid ad right below the video* This ad's effectiveess may be slightly diminished by this choice of video by the algorithm gods.
I still play Morrowind to this day. You're literally a god walking amongst mere mortals. I mean, you can walk on water, fly, control living things etc.
More like: "Bethesda games are perfectly balanced." "Polished" too. Some developers show you bugs that popped up in the development phase in the easter eggs, or perhaps blooper reels. Bethesda, for the sake of immersion, lets you experience all of them right in game!
After discovering spiff and his army of superior characters, I have done nothing but watch his videos in my spare time. Now, two weeks later, I am ordering a box of Yorkshire gold because I can’t find it and need to try it.
Used to love morrowind and the broken spells backinthedays. My favorite spell cast a huge fireball and in order not to die from it, teleported me to the nearest town. Or the levitation staff + bow, that was a nice combination too.
Morrowind is currently free through Amazon prime gaming so I'm playing through it again since I got super side tracked every time I played it back in the day so I finally want to finish the main story. Given that maybe a bunch of people just got this game through Amazon, I would love to see some more videos on Morrowind like the potion-making you described
Only recently discovered The Spiffing Brit. Enjoying the videos (especially how he does them). Now it may have already been mentioned but I'm not going to look through all the comments. When he got to the part about Hodd Toward becoming the greatest potion seller, did anyone else think of that potion seller bit someone did years ago? About the traveler looking to buy potions and the potion seller tells him they are too strong for him.
This kind of video is exactly why I subscribed. Keep up the good work! Always happy to see more perfectly balanced gameplay exactly as the developers clearly intended.
I am watching Morrowind Exploit videos because I recently got the game. I watched a tip video. I feel the exploit videos being even more helpful than tip videos.
If you combine the soul trap on target with a summon spell, you can infinitely summon things on you. Skeletons are easy but Atronachs work too. I used to summon an army of skeletons and go town to town wiping out everybody. Except every time for some random reason they would become hostile after some time and slaughter me
For its time it was great was also when my parents first acknowledged and accepted me being a gamer. They got the OG version for me as a gift and it holds a special place in my heart.... also spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in it and only beat it once lmao
First bit reminds me of how in Kingdom Come Deliverance, you can get the speech skill up to a point you're able to convince everyone that ANY of your actions are due to a secret mission from the lord. Even if you're just actively murdering people.
for the quick money from traders part at 23:00, just become an alchemist ( the broken intelligence spell makes your potions worth a good deal more) and sell them to the scamp in Caldera. He pays 100% of what an item is worth, no more though. So here's the workaround for alchemy ingredients. You set up house in the manor the scamp is in so you can store excess materials. You go across the street to the tavern guy, he's a Redguard. Buy some of his alchemy material, and sell it back to him. If you get the right ones, his inventory will double what he can sell permanently. I think it was scuttle and the flower... the pink ones that give feather. Maybe heather? Buy a crapton of those, make a crapton of potions, sell a crapton of potions to the scamp for 5k a day. You can also just carry around a few hundred of them for general trading. Also, murder all the orcs in that manor and hock their gear to the scamp for starting cash. With that you can buy most of the grandmasters or masters alchemy gear from the high elf in Balmora.
Sad part is, just yesterday I visited my local Wal-Mart and saw Sims 3 content but no Fallout 76. I guess that game is so unpopular that wal-mart would rather carry six year old game packs instead.
Second time ever, I liked before I even watched this. You had me at morrowind, on your channel. You also gotta do oblivion, stacked spells on self with different names are hilarious.
I am finally able to enjoy a spiffing brit video whilst enjoying the BEAUTY that is Yorkshire Tea. THANK YOU Sainsbury local for having this GOLD find!
The more hilarious aspect of this, is that there's cheat codes for the game, but they pale in comparison to what you can do by just exploiting the game's own mechanics. That's right, cheats for Morrowind aren't nearly as broken as the exploits Spiff has shown, truly marvelous.
@@you_tube6733 First time I ever played Morrowind, I rented it for the Xbox, way back in the day. I think this was before the Expansions & such, so it was the original, unpatched game. At first, I played normally, but sometimes I would use those cheats, and, like going crazy in GTA, I would do all kinds of wild stuff. After a while, though, I learned about the in-game exploits, like the perma-soultrap buffs, and actually stopped using the cheats. What a game, haha.
@@RedSpade37 ya me too. i only use stamina cheat for the first few lvs. i had morrowind and halo on xbox and it took me a year and a few characters to understand what morrowind was lol.

Absolutely....I also discovered that organically. My problem with the game was I stole all the blue candles and put so many in my shipwreck home that it cashed CTD every time I made a character. I couldn't get around that concept.
Fire shield x 1000!!!!
jump spell. increase strength and acro at max for 1 second and jump, never need a fast travel system when you can leap the entire map, just make sure to have feather fall, was always my fav. i created it because on the online forums back then there would be challenges "who can make it from 1 side of map to the other in quickest time" and other such things. oh the good ol days.
honestly any spell could be made to entirely break the game and i never viewed it as an exploit, just that my char turned into a god. the real exploits were the ones where you could increase your base stats to infinity. that's what made this game the best 1 ever made, oblivion prevented most of this stuff by default so i quickly quit playing it.

He even said he had garbage voice acting. What a schmuck.
I loved getting the 'Boots of Blinding Speed' (I think that was the name, been awhile) and casting a bunch of nighteye (or was it light?) spells before putting them on therefore negating the 100% blindness curse but keeping the high speed enchantment, then making a long lasting levitation spell and zipping around the map in the air. Good times.
That is exactly how you play Morrowind.

in watching this, it reminds me of a training glitch i used. you can get a drain skill spell and then change it to self and drain for 100 points for 1 or 2 seconds, then talk to the trainer right after casting and train the skill up for 1 gold piece
I use that drain skill spell to regen magicka but it sadly only works if intelligence is below 100
What I liked back in Morrowind was enchanting my boots with just 1 point of constant effect slow fall. This meant I could dive off of high places, get down pretty much at terminal velocity, but still take no damage because ANY amount of slow fall = immunity from all fall damage.
You could also use levitate for 1 point to fly. :D :D :D
It reminds me of my childhood exploiting the alchemy system.

My favorite thing to do was to make a spell with fortify luck, soul trap, and splash. Hitting the floor with that caused you to get the fortify luck effect permanently. Do it a couple of times, and you will suddenly be very lucky with everything you do, including casting impossibly difficult spells. Make some new spells with fortify (stat), soul trap, and splash, shoot the floor, and be a god.

@The Spiffing Brit
Ey Spiff, due to npc's walking about it'd be safer to cast those soul trap spells over in the corner with the beds and the wardrobe.
Also I'd like to nominate the trick of doing near perminant levitation (Same method you've been showing here, just levitate with soultrap on target It clears upon reloading the save for some reason, not sure why) combined with speed having been boosted just enough to run outside the map. Oh and increased touch range via perminant telekenisis. Stole pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down with that method.... oh right, Perminant feather or whatever that carry capacity spell was too. Pretty sure I used that.... or did I just boost strength to massive levels? can't remember. Probably did both for redundancy's sake.
There's also this trick with bound weapons where if you quick switch with them repeatedly by holding down both of the quick swap buttons, the skill boost they give becomes perminant. ... might require the game to lag while the swapping occurs, can't remember. It's been a while
I was literally half expecting that line about Raid Shadow Legends to segue into a f’ing Ad..
Bravo for not doing that, Sir Spiffy Brit

Another thing brit forgot to mention is if you do the glitch to bypass the tutorial, you wont be able to save until you get your orders from the captain (not sure about autosave, never made it far enough)
With the amount of Oblivion and Skyrim videos, I'm really surprised you haven't done more on Morrowind. It's easily the most "perfectly balanced" of the three

IRC you can buy "Increase skill" spell effect in Mournhold (Tribunal DLC). That's how I was able to boost my alchemy so much that I had +3000 speed potions (or something like that).
In one of the DLCs, you can hunt down a fortify skill spell pretty early on, allowing you to do this soultrap-glitch to attain infinite skills, so you could have infinite hand-to-hand and such
That brief moment when I thought this was a blades sponsorship.
Wesley Robinson it is
I literally started playing morrowind a couple days ago.
I recomend you try the elder scrolls mod for medieval 2, that way you can play a new kind of game, a Toddal Howar!
I never did anything of importance in Morowind. But the best thing I remember doing is using those high jump potions from that fallen mage outside of the starter town, jumping far to the north, drinking another so I could land, then finding some guy from whom I got the "Boots of Blinding Speed" which blinded you and made you run really fast. I then made a piece of armor that upped my magic resist and nullified the blinding part of the boots. I felt so good doing that. It was so fun making your own spells and enchantments.
I started really enjoying your videos. Then I stumbled across this one with Morrowind. (actually my favorite game in the elder scrolls series). There were a few things I used to do. The Sneak trick, agility attribute trick (just jump on the side of a mountain forever), and for infinite money- I will go to Mournhold and taught the guard in the armory shop to a fight then sell all his gear to the Armory. It’s a buy and resell progress and you just reset the money every 24 to 48 hours. Works well. I even like to get a Daedric Tower Shield and put a constant effect of heal on it.
There is an exploit in training which is pretty nice. You basically make a temporary drain skill, and then immediately ask for training. For some reason the game thinks your skill is super low, and then requires less money to train it.
C'mon man. These graphics were pretty impressive for the time.
Yeah they were :)
Well, not now
@@skandermarsit9142 Hold up decently tho
Yes and no. The world was decent but even back then the faces was bad. And then there was the constipation. It seems most people in Morrowind has constipation. It's especially obvious when they are getting into a fight as they all look like they are trying to put a cable down.
@@NiclasLoof dude, it was hell of impressive! mtg2 maybe have better faces, but no changeable armor, no different walk animations, no jumping or flying. but it has small numbers of animated persons, tube levels and no character generator that you can choose of like 30 different faces and races. you compare a shooter with an open world game. it's like comparing farcry 3 with guild wars 2, that's bullshit. compare it with another shooter of that time, like counterstrike... you can also say that warcraft 3 had better graphics then mgs2, in the rendered scenes but whatever. also back then, consoles were still quite comperable vs. computer graphics, may take this in consideration.
show me a game of this time that had e.g. better water quality, a game where your enemies wont disappear after you killed them(for quite some time), a game that has a crime system that works if you don't glitch the shit out of it(what i did as well) a game where you have the option to play in 1st and 3rd person, fly around without much lag, become an OP flying god casting fireballs over cities killing everyone in a single strike.
all you guys whine about is that the grafics are like 20 years old. maybe consider looking at a game from 1982 and compare it to morrowind. thx
one of the things that makes morrowind great is that it not only lets you do cheesy broken things it uses them against you so you actually have something to do with those cheesy broken things after you get them

I know it's a year late but one exploit is using a drain skill custom spell for 100 on self and then train with a trainer for one gold. Really streamlines the game without (technically) breaking your character, so you could achieve max level while maximizing certain stats like strength or intellect by leveling ten strength or intellect spells for a +5 increase in each and placing the third in luck, all your stats will be a natural(ish) hundred REAL quick.
Honestly half the fun of morrowind is how you can just break the game in so many creative ways.
Looking from today's perspective... it seems they knew what they are doing.
They knew it is broken but just went with it. :D
I got to some clever exploits of magica, but this is next level.
@@urosmarjanovic663 focus on alchemy.
Make int increase potions.
They stack.
Keep making them and taking them.
10,000 int, easy.
Then you can use that to make custom spells, potions, enchantments, etc.
Sell the stuff worth more than the whole world to the talking mudcrab, or craft your way into killing vivec with a single hit/spell, capturing his soul, and using it to fuel your enchanted boots.
"Morrowind is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits" - sounds like a good joke on its own.
U know what sounds like jolly good fun invading your country and raising the union Jack now pay tax
Literally no fans of Morrowind have ever said it is balanced, ever, in history, ever
Yeah... the first glitch was literally just him jumping into a wall and that was enough to break the entire crime system of the game. And the intelligence potion exploit he was talking about is the most broken thing in any Bethesda game ever. You can become immortal and able to one shot everyone in about 15 minutes after starting a new game with that exploit
Yeah, the magic system was so broken, but that is what made it so charming!

Used to love morrowind and the broken spells backinthedays. My favorite spell cast a huge fireball and in order not to die from it, teleported me to the nearest town. Or the levitation staff + bow, that was a nice combination too.
Slippery Steve's exploit sounds a lot like how the justice system works in my country...
Morrowind is currently free through Amazon prime gaming so I'm playing through it again since I got super side tracked every time I played it back in the day so I finally want to finish the main story. Given that maybe a bunch of people just got this game through Amazon, I would love to see some more videos on Morrowind like the potion-making you described
Thanks for the blast from the past! But I must ask, WHERES THE BLOODY TEA?!?!?
Only recently discovered The Spiffing Brit. Enjoying the videos (especially how he does them). Now it may have already been mentioned but I'm not going to look through all the comments. When he got to the part about Hodd Toward becoming the greatest potion seller, did anyone else think of that potion seller bit someone did years ago? About the traveler looking to buy potions and the potion seller tells him they are too strong for him.
"it's a fever dream..." yep. had that one.
This kind of video is exactly why I subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Always happy to see more perfectly balanced gameplay exactly as the developers clearly intended.

Ai: visable confusion
If you combine the soul trap on target with a summon spell, you can infinitely summon things on you. Skeletons are easy but Atronachs work too. I used to summon an army of skeletons and go town to town wiping out everybody. Except every time for some random reason they would become hostile after some time and slaughter me
That random dark elf prisoner saves all of Tamriel from the terrors of the Cliff racers
For its time it was great was also when my parents first acknowledged and accepted me being a gamer. They got the OG version for me as a gift and it holds a special place in my heart.... also spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in it and only beat it once lmao
i can just imagine people asking Hodd Toward for his strongest potions and Hodd telling them off because his potions are waay too strong for mere men
Ruftinator Hodd Toward’s strongest potions would kill a dragon, let alone a man.
You made another video of one of my favorite games and my favorite game to exploit on my birthday, I couldn't ask for more, thank you Mr. Brit.
Back in the day, I got a Daedric bow and soultrapped the +something fire(?) arrow, so, I never ran out of arrows.
Todd Howard loved this game so much that he built every subsequent game he worked on with the same engine.

for the quick money from traders part at 23:00, just become an alchemist ( the broken intelligence spell makes your potions worth a good deal more) and sell them to the scamp in Caldera. He pays 100% of what an item is worth, no more though. So here's the workaround for alchemy ingredients. You set up house in the manor the scamp is in so you can store excess materials. You go across the street to the tavern guy, he's a Redguard. Buy some of his alchemy material, and sell it back to him. If you get the right ones, his inventory will double what he can sell permanently. I think it was scuttle and the flower... the pink ones that give feather. Maybe heather? Buy a crapton of those, make a crapton of potions, sell a crapton of potions to the scamp for 5k a day. You can also just carry around a few hundred of them for general trading. Also, murder all the orcs in that manor and hock their gear to the scamp for starting cash. With that you can buy most of the grandmasters or masters alchemy gear from the high elf in Balmora.

The more hilarious aspect of this, is that there's cheat codes for the game, but they pale in comparison to what you can do by just exploiting the game's own mechanics. That's right, cheats for Morrowind aren't nearly as broken as the exploits Spiff has shown, truly marvelous.
