That moment when your ebony set is no match for a screwdriver and an adidas track suit.
I see nothing wrong with that
To be fair, a screwdriver would probably destroy the gaps in plate armor because its technically blunt but still capable of stabbing very hard. Like a reverse rondel.
@@SpaceEmperorGenos Yeah oddly you'd rather have that than a sword, especially if you have no armor and the only way you're gonna win is by getting the drop on them.
Lore accurate
Mod is set in post-soviet state.
Mod pulls assets from Stalker.
Every time.
I guess Fallout: the Frontier is now canonically set in Former Soviet Republic of Oregon.
The assets are free to use, and making assets is expensive (and difficult) as hell
@@t_y8274 I didn't say it was a bad thing, I love the Stalker aesthetic.
i think he started on this mod before stalker got released
during stalker hype many were building similar postsoviet maps
i personally was messing with serious sam editor
@@Dustweaver I lived in Kyiv for 6 years. The guys who made Stalker got it right, it's 100% the way it looks, so there's that. I noticed the interior wood floor texture in the previous video, and it was literally the same as in my shitty Soviet-era apartment (and all the others)
The Sujamma tactic is so appropriate given how it's basically Vodka
Ah, so it's basically water then? The nectar of the gods.
You can see the enemy npc:s using the same tactic.
It's an alcoholic beverage. By that logic It's basically whiskey and beer is basically vodka. It would depend on what Sujamma is made from. Vodka is made from potatoes i believe.
@@yegr7763 Haha, don't know why, but Sujamma sounds like it would have potatoes in its translation somewhere. Could you make Vodka, say, out of Jumbo Potatoes? Asking for a friend.
@@Howlinglider If jumbo potatoes are just bigger potatoes, then yeah. Kurt Saxon had a book or two on alcohol I think, would be a bit dated, but check there for a vodka recipe. You can likely find the book on "archive . org". I believe it was called "Drinks like grand-dad used to make" or something along those lines. Paladin Press may have a book on homemade alcohol although I can not say for certain.
P.S. Try moonshine first, it's really easy to make at home I believe, used to know a guy who did. It's made from corn. I don't drink, but do know what most alcoholic drinks are made from and the basic idea behind how.
at some point someone is gonna make a mod where everyone is just fargoth
Not a matter of if. But *when* ...
challenge accepted
@@crybernetics9007 👀
Do what you were born to become.
Where are we gonna find enough rings???
@@chrisbunting5437 Well my assumption be the scripts and every npc remain the same you just change all their names and make them all look like Fargoth. So you'd still face Dagoth Ur but he'd just look like Fargoth. Fargoth Ur.
6:05 There's something deeply disturbing about walking in the woods only to see some guy sprinting at you holding a guitar like a club.
Something deeply Russian
Vvardenfell is a former soviet state. It was claimed by the USSR after WW2 but re-joined Morrowind after the dissolution.
As the old saying goes: don’t bring a guitar to a screwdriver fight
Screwdriver is long blade OK. But its best attack is chop, not thrust ....what?
Don't blame reality for you're crazy! Dog goes "meow", cow explodes into stars and stripes, and it is known that screwdrivers are most effective in a chopping sort of motion!
Truly the average gopnik is a force to be reckoned with
I used to play Morrowind while listening to metal this would require hardbass and vodka
This mod... is kinda fascinating. It recreates a specific Soviet-era military installation in Kazakhstan, which was all but abandoned and left to rust in post-Soviet times (now effectively a ghost town). It is a work of mostly a single dev, who also maintains a verson for Fallout 3 (I think?)
I would love to play the fallout 3 version lol
Fallout 3 feels unstintingly fitting for a mod like that

"We're doing alright for the moment but my main worry is going to be the guy's with the automatic weapons"
Best Morrowind quote
8:54 In Russia, these are called Bomzh (БОМЖ, Без Определенного Места Жительства, No Identifiable Place of Residence). The Bomzh are wandering alcohol-monks who tend to say very wise things.
I doubt you're gonna read this, but this mod actually has a very creepy (maybe fake, probably not) story going around it. There are several Closed Cities in Russia, cities built around strategic objects and named something funky like Gorky-17 or Seversk-22. It is said that after the collapse of the USSR one such small closed-off city in the middle of a tundra was seized by its gopnik (young petty criminal) population, who became de-facto rulers of the place, in complete control of the nukes that were stored there. The army was in disarray in the 90's, and crazier things happened, like navy combat vessels being bartered to Americans for bread, or just cut into parts and for the metal to be re-sold. Nobody bothered to take the city back, and the citizenry couldn't call for help, since communication to and from Closed Cities was always in the hands of the government. The gang who took control over that city called themselves the Вомангеры (like a russianized version of the word Warmongers) and they had three bosses, each with a nickname and a distinct personality. There was Fezky, a guy who was big with computers and tech, Zlo, a really crazy bruiser sadist type, and the third is forgotten in most modern retellings. When the army took control back, the gang was mostly wiped out, but it is said that a survivor called BCD played a lot of Morrowind in prison and when he came out he started the very mod you're playing, based on what he saw as the good old days.
@Felipe Amaral Russian prison, he was doing time in early to late 00's, when most Russian prisons (apart from the hardcore ones like White Swan) had computer classes.
@Felipe Amaral it's not common, not by a long shot, but yeah it kinda happens. Russian torrent pages for kewl games like Stalker sometimes even have comments like "This game is so good if I weren't in prison I'd buy that on Steam" etc. I think it has something to do with corruption. Like, some local official "buys" 200 computers for local prisons, but in actuality buys 20 and keeps the rest of the money, and the inmates are allowed to do whatever they want to them as long as they keep their mouths shut, or maybe computers are used as a way to reward cooperative inmates or snitches. Russian prisons are hilarious. There can be one two cubic meter cell with 10 people stuffed inside, who are fed once per day, beaten and assaulted by all manner of medieval parasites like roaches and rats, and along the corridor there's another cell, where a guy has a personal TV, smartphone and even drugs and alcohol, because he's a friend of the local mayor or something. They are extremely corrupt. Then again, I don't believe the story about the morrowind guy myself. I just read it on a board a few years ago. But it's totally possible in theory.
What was the city called?
@@NigerianCrusader I'm not even sure the posts I read mentioned that, but I have a nagging suspicion it was either Seversk-317 or Tomsk-317. Not to be confused with the actual Seversk and Tomsk.
"Shouldn't you be stopping this?"
"Right, and the police should have arrested Godzilla."

Never expected to see these 3 things at the same time lmao...Hail monolith!!!
o monolith
I legitimately had a jump-scare when you tried to close the gate and he was already there 😅
The train noise is just the super fast guys letting you know they're near. It's their mating call!
Is it me, or is breaking Fargoth as part of the intro now a running joke?
No that's just fargoth being fargoth
@@bigtastyben5119 damn I guess my Morrowind install is busted then. There's only 1 wood elf sized Fargoth in my game, and all he does is stand around talking about some engraved ring of healing.
@@AFlyingTrout sounds like you have a tribunal bug because I'm sure that's supposed to be Gaenor
@@bigtastyben5119 oh shit! I better not talk to him then... he'll probably kick my ass
Yes
We all know that train noise is a straight rip from Half Life 2 and no one can deny it
Ah, so I wasnt the only one...
They both probably use the same stock sound library.
Most of this mod is a rip
@@DIEGhostfish Nah the thing is, that isn't even a stock sound, it's a very specific modified train horn that one particular railroad in Canada uses, since Valve is so close to Canada I imagine they just went out and recorded the first train they heard
You didn't have to make a second video of this mod, but I'm glad you did. I was curious to see how it played with a higher level character, so thanks!
You asked in previous vid if some russians are watching. Да. Мы смотрим.
Damn, the moment when you walked around the gopnik at the gate, it was a real and extremely accurate experience of walking home from school in cities of Russia and the former Soviet Union in the 80s and 90s. (it is important to add that the visual aesthetic here replicates small soviet cities rather than the big and main ones)
"Can I get through here or will I have to fight? Do I know this gopnik and can I negotiate with him? Would it be better to go over the fences today?"
NOICE!
Mate, I subbed to you not even an hour ago, and already you’ve made a new vid. Grand!
"He's playing Wonderwall in the after life now"
this mod looks like something out of a fever dream
Ah yes, one of the best out of context lines by Micky "I wanna test out that screwdriver on someone"
The song near the end when you get into the friendly building is Jean-Marc Dompierre "El Bimbo" -- I know it from a few scenes in the Police Academy film series.
My like 3rd or 4th time rewatching your videos, honestly, something about you is the best! Thank you for being among the best content creators out there Micky, been around since like 10-20k
Can't wait till you hit 1 million cause that's where you're headed, you're honestly a comedic genius.
Thank you Sarah! Really means a tonne
Hey there, I'm Russian. You won't believe me if I say that this mod adds questlines. This mod has ridiculouly high attention to detail, so I'm surprised of dev's high enthusiasm! Have fun😀
That's great
Since you're Russian... whats that APYR meme about?
@@dylanmonstrum1538Actually it is "ДРУГ" in Russian, and it means "friend". And there's no punchline, just weird Russian word.
@@romanthecomrade6364 the punchline could be argued to be the conflicting signals of big scary monster and "friend"
@@henriquepacheco7473 it could be, if you all knew the translation. Also it pronounced way different: "DRUG" and "u" sounds like "ou" in "could".
Free lesson
Hey Micky. Ozonspeed is the author of this mod. You can find him on youtube. He actually had 4 mods planned but decided to release only one (this one). You might want to contact him if you want to learn more about it. He did speak English (and Russian) in the comments of one other video, answering to some questions.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's Russian, not Kazakh. The reason you're seeing weird characters is because your OS isn't set to use Russian as a primary language and you probably don't have Russian language pack installed for it.
so how I know, emba-5 was USSR military city, now it is Zhem located in Kazakhstan. And culture of current russia(like gopnik's and other) is actual for all post-soviet countries(I don't know exactly but i sure for Kazakhstan)
So if I install the Russian language pack in windows, do you think it'll work?
@@-roejogan- I think you'd rather need a specific Russian font file for the game
I remember we had to do something with the game's .ini file to have an opportunity to change the language we write in text boxes/console
The text is what’s known as mojibake, and it’s the result of attempting to render one character encoding using another. It’s attempting render Cyrillic characters uses the US character set, so nothing is mapped correctly. UTF8 largely solves this, but Morrowind appears to use older ISO ascii standards.

Been binge-watching this guys videos lately, definitely needs more subs.
You're getting subs like crazy
Морровинд похорошел.. Стал таким родным ещё больше, но только я не видел босмеров на улицах с отвёрткой 🤔
You mean you don’t regularly see Bosmer mugging people with a screwdriver in your town? 😂
@@Wired_User Yes, Sir
There's something about the Nerevarine getting trounced by gopniks that tickles my funny bone.
Favorite channel rn homie
It is awesome that you chose to revisit the mod with your own character. I really enjoyed this video. Glad you are doing videos you enjoy. Makes it much more enjoyable for me to watch. I wish you a nice weekend 😊
Isn't that the gay bar dance music from Police Academy? never thought I'd hear that in Morrowind.
Every day a Morrowind video.... I can't be happier
This was hilarious, Micky. The follow up I didn't know I needed
Its wild how this channel has exploded so far. This is what I need while waiting for TES 6
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago... This content is gold! Never clicked so fast!
There has to be another part of this series. Every good series ends with a triology not on a sequel.
I agree lol
Tell that to terminator fans. But I guess some do like terminator 3 but It seems that majority think that good terminators ended on T2.
It feels like yesterday when you had 9k subs ~ congrats on a milestone!!
Your videos are brilliant mate. Might be my favourite yt channel of all time. Quality content, keep it coming.
Seeing the Chernobyl power plant in Morrowind is trippy
i got into morrowind bc of these videos
It's a good time, and the memes are pure gold! 😂🤣👌
Have fun!
It's hard to ingest but if you can get past it and 'immerse' yourself, even though i hate that word, you can look past a lot of the rough parts of the game. A lot of the best parts of the game are the secrets and the sense of discovery. Just be very patient with it and if you need a few mods to ease the transition to use them! Personally, I just can't get into the game. I try. But I just can't. But for what it's worth that goes for all Bethesda games. Fallout 1-4 (yes 1 and 2 aren't Bethesda) and Elder Scrolls 1-5. I _like_ Fallout: New Vegas though. Sorry for the long post about nothing.
Watching you while I bash out 99 Agility in osrs, keep it up, it's really entertaining!
Congrats on 10k subs! It seems yesterday you had only 4k. You really deserve all these subs you're getting, your content is really good! Keep it up!
Original Morrowind is similar culturally to Kazakhstan alright. Especially the ashlander nomads
Glad to see you're channel growing loving all the videos hope you continue the level 1 mournhold videos
I can't even mess with Morrowind without high speed and a constant effect 1 levitate
The laughing+loading screen kwama got me, that was so random haha
advice for fighting ranged enemies: they can't deal with even the slightest of jukes, just rapidly tap a and d and they will always miss
I didn’t ask for it... but I love that you went back to it. Always was curious of this mod. Also, yes, tons of STALKER asset rips or something. Blue boxes are used a lot for stashes. Stalker is a great game. And seeing someone playing Morrowind this day is so nostalgic! Would you happen to have a good mod list for this day and age? So many got lost when paid mods was a thing for a moment.

Found my new favourite Morrowind youtuber, keep it up mate!
Your channel is great, I'm going to binge watch it but I really hope you get the amount of subs you deserve. Good stuff sir
i like the mod. Gives off that Eurojank feel. I love the early 2000s PC graphics style. Each enemy is powerful and presents a unique challenge. Screwdriver guy- High hp, high damage. Guitar guy- Very high knockdown rate, moderate damage. Fist guy- Very high fatigue damage, low damage, impossible to run from. Gun guy- Very high damage, ranged, low hp. And the items you get from each type of enemy will help you with another type. I like how it's set up. It's too bad there's no way to read most of what is going on. If there's a questsline available, you can't do it.
"Oh, it's the guitar fella!" HA!
Seen a few of your vids, so happy to have stumbled upon your channel! Good stuff ❤
Hey, just stumbled across your videos less than a week ago and I'm really enjoying your content! I have liked every video I've seen cuz I really enjoy the videos and narration you do! Please keep the videos coming ! :)
Cultural learnings of Kazakhstan for make benefit glorious province of vardenfell
You're growing pretty fast dude!
Wait a second... is this the Russia mod shown in Sseth's Morrowind video while talking about Kirkbride's amphetamine binges?
7:48 Oddworld lookin ass lmfaooo I always though that
Pretty sure agility contributes to how easy it is for you to be staggered and it's only at 44
Walks into an interesting place. "Allright we outa here we outa here".
8:18 Cheeki breeki. Knew it was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. textures. Amazing game, highly recommended, btw, and the gun is the VSS (aka AS VAL)
Your pronunciation of the Kazakhstan is on point!
11:15 I dunno, video idea: "Can you play Morrowind with 1000 speed." Or; "How much skooma is too much skooma?"
3:53 you left his shoes on! If that ain't respect for the dead, idk what it is.
"He's playing Wonderwall in the afterlife now" I'm dead!
Penny's, hun?
(You're dropping some great vids recently btw keep it up bai)
Your pronunciation is correct, I pronounce it the same way my best friend from Kazakhstan says it the same way I do.
I’d love to see more of this mod
eyyy this channel grows fast. I am happy
I just watched the first russia mod video and heard that you said that you need to return. I wanted to look if its already uploaded and suddenly it was! Love ur videos, you gained yourself a fan!
You were wondering about what your problem is with the knock down; For a level 15/16 warrior type character, 44/46 agility is rather low. Low agility = higher chance of getting hit and a higher chance of getting knocked down when hit, especially when you're being hit with lots of damage.
Never bring a rifle to a screwdriver fight.
Dude you’re blowing up! Congrats on getting 10k subs. Hope your doing well for yourself:)
For mods, I would highly recommend checking out Morrowind Rebirth, it adds a lot of interesting changes to the game such as expanded cities, new creatures, and lots of balancing changes
Geez! The way these guys run in his direction is scaring!
dude that's crazy, that's literally my childhood
It helps to play this mod while squatting.
Oh, good old days of fighting with guitars.
Not gonna lie, your videos kinda make me angry.
Because they're so damn good and there's not enough of them!
Lmfao wonderwall in the afterlife like a mint ghost fence
16:06 "Нормальный!" XD
(from "To Love Russian Way")
Ah the guitar vs screwdriver fight, a surprisingly common occurrence in Kazakhstan
It's like gmod in Morrowind
(and i love it)
The Guitar is killing me.
10:30
"Stalker : The Zone wants to be respected. Otherwise it will punish."
Have you seen the one where every noise is Tim the Tool Man’s hhUUUuEeEeHhh 😆 so great.
The oddworld joke now demands you make a review of paramite pies now.
It feels like City 17 from HL2 because City 17 is set somewhere in eastern europe so the architecture is similar
When your videos end, it makes me sad. I click pretty quick when you upload.
>>Calls it Russian mod.
>>Mod actually adds Kazakhstan.
Checks out.
mod made by a single *russian* guy, it adds in the game *russian* town (Emba-5) that was located in Kazakhstan (former republic of USSR). So it's technically a Russian mod.
@@dolorsitametblue The town isn't russian tho? USSR isn't russia.
@@aruzhan9664 Yeah , it was a soviet town, but even after collapse this territory was rented by Russia until 2017 (but it wasn't used as a polygon since 1999). So it's more than enough to call this city russian.
@@aruzhan9664 also USSR is Russia + Soviet Republics and most of population of Emba-5 were russians by nationality.
Archar Gelod Sure, Jan
The key to the boots of blinding speed is negating the blindness
The strange looking writing on the mod is what happens when you don't have russian character sets loaded on your computer (I didn't word that very tech worthy) (Cyrillic? script?) Anyway, Fkn funny as hell, love the channel. Please keep it going!
IT IS CYRILLIC MONGOLIA USES CYRILLIC ASWELL
