Werewolf go brrrrrrr (it’s very cold in Solstheim)
ok
haha xD
good post
This is actually so fucking hilarious, I love you, man
Werebear go brrrrrr (werebears are cooler)
"Thank Talos for these Repair hammers, I tell ya"
*Your repair failed!*
*Your repair failed!*
*Your repair failed!*
Multiclicker mouse goes BRRRRRRRRRT (Went through 10 repair prongs, only raised the skill by ~80% of one point 😂)
The endless tides of over powered pig riders and naked crackheads that fill Solstheim woods are a Bloodmoon staple
7:53 From playing way too much Morrowind across multiple playthroughs, I can confirm that sneak attacks at range DO work and give the bonus damage, even though the critical popup doesn't appear. That popup seems to be "spoken" from the creature receiving the sneak critical, so if they're too far away, the crit "dialogue" doesn't reach you, but they do take the extra damage!
*fhwip* "ah I've taken a critical hit. Someone must have a darn sneak bonus!"
Lol that's a silly way to code that interaction, ig it just works.
i was playing a sneaky archer for the first time and was curious if it actually worked or not, i thought it just boosted accuracy without adding the crit tbh
Almost as weird as the magic runes in Skyrim being land mines from Fallout 3 that explode into a magic spell being spoken with your voice from your location, and if you don't have silent casting then everyone can hear you casting the spell and know your exact position.
Classic Bethesda jank. Reminds me of how Barney from Half Life makes the beep noises with his mouth when interacting with keypads.
@@davidmcgill1000 that's incredible
Daugr are created when someone doesnt receive a proper wake and burial. During the wake, the corpse must be taken out of the house through a hole made in a wall of the house (can not use a door!), burried, then you must reseal the hole by sundown.
The spirit of the person will then rise as a draugr from the grave, and attempt to return home. If the wake was performed correctly, the draugr will come to the wall and be held back. And eventually return to thier new home (burial) by sun up.
However, if the seal was incorrectly repaired, or you took the body out by a door or window, the draugr will get in. Upon seeing another in the house, the spirit will fly into a frenzied rage.
dude, freaking awesome
Sometimes when you come thru the front, you leaving out the back do'
Man, people back then had *waaayyy* too much time on their hands.
Huh, interesting. Some years ago i've read a book, think it was Lindqvist. Its plot revolved around mass undead rising. What you described sounds very familiar, also the author was Swedish so it makes sense he would use his folklore.
Interesting stuff.
Though that ending just immediately made me think: "Uday flew into a rage", which made me smile. Dankula, for those wondering.
Okay, that fourth wall break at 31:59 has me questioning a LOT of things now.
Lmfao I wasn't expecting that at all.

@@JustBackgroundNoise Always thought you were one _smooth_ talker, while listening to your puns.. 😋
Thanks for the great content my dude.
Really enjoying it!
It was all just Arena all along. We're probably just in Todd Howard's head...
@@JustBackgroundNoiseyou look like the default runescape guy
That immediate death when you started the vaporeon copypasta at the water stone was fucking hilarious lmao
Obscure monster lore you say?
In medieval times the accepted lore around werewolves were that they were actually astrally projected dream versions of people who used these forms to fight against witches, which is why the one werewolf in the Helsing anime is like that.
Vampires had lycanthropy among their many accepted powers, due to wolves liking to hang around graveyards and sometimes digging up the graves. Vampires had to main weaknesses that set them apart: First, they can be distracted by a large pile of things, such as seeds, as they are forced to count all of them until they know how many seeds are in the pile. Second, they cannot cross running freshwater by any means. The only way it became passable to them is if it stopped running.
"Keith, what the f*ck are you doing?"
"Counting seeds."
"What- Why?"
"I need to."
"Why, though??"
"Look, I don't question YOUR weird habits, Erik, so don't question MINE."
can you paradox a vampire by putting a pile of sand behind a big window in a home and just not allowing them in?
@@plasticfuzzball9962 or toss a bunch of seeds on the other side of running water
@@plasticfuzzball9962
Whether that works or not there are easier ways to permanently disable a vamp that ruining a room in your house.
(The "Don't invite them in" thing actually came along much later when the counting piles were out of practice. Vamps of this era broke into houses without any issue.)
@blindbeholder9713 well shit, i have a lot of cleaning to do then.
@24:27 For anyone curious, the orcs are super fast due to weird coding. One of the biggest factors in how fast you move in Morrowind is not just your speed stat, but rather your weight. This makes nords and orcs have a crazy fast base movespeed due to their crazy high starting weight capacity. Combine this with most of the enemies in the expansions being quite high level, and therefore a pretty high speed stat and athletics skill compared to others in the base game, the orcs move incredibly fast.
Also important I guess is that this is only really true for male characters, as female nords and orcs have significantly lower weights.
And it doesn’t help those silver weapons of paralysis are way stronger than normal silver weapons. Nearly glass or ebony damage levels. Which it can easily wreck you when you’re not careful.
And it seems that those orcs are high on steroids and PCP.
Many different systems, interacting in weird ways.
And they left it like this.
That is why Morrowind is great.
15:10 Concerning the mythological creatures: there is a certain beast from east slavic folklore, called aspid, who is likely some kind of merge of old pagan tradition and Christian concept of the seducing serpent. Aspid or asp is a flying snake with a birds beak (and sometimes two elephant-like trunks), who are generally evil, hard to kill and lives only in rocky-heights, since they dislike Earths soil, often considered good in nature.
What is interesting to me, is how similar this discription (aside from the trunks thing) to cliffracers from Morrowind. There are actually a surprising amount of bird-like creatures in slavic tales, many of whom were birds with a women's face, but the most famous of such characters is the "Hut on the chicken's legs" (literally, it can even turn around to face you, if you request so), which is considered a home for a witch
Baba Yaga! I guess they got tired of fusing humans and animals, so they started fusing animals with buildings.
I don't know the dividing line between myth and folklore. I guess it's scope? Regardless, folklore has always felt more cozy and grounded than myth. Gods and metaphysical combat? Nah. Gimme wizards with trees for teeth.
@@JustBackgroundNoise this is usually a spectrum that spans like this folklore: collections of stories that get passed around by people with oral tradition mythology where folklore begins to expand on scale and become more formalized to make general statements about the world, religious canon: where a belief system becomes organized enough to establish Orthodox stories with clear intent and meaning.
Funny fact, norse "mythology" is actually folklore, not mythology since it never had an organized clergy at any level.

"less than a fortnight's number of minutes" ??
One quick tip on how to grab items from above. Jump or use third person camera, open inventory and just grab this item.
You can also use this to steal items from "upstairs", especially useful with high Acrobatics :) You just find a high spot, jump through the floor, open inventory, and take all you can and give nothing back.
Yoooo that's awesome! Thanks my guy
Literally the best morrowind challenge channel on youtube full stop. Narration is also relaxing and excellent. Great stuff as usual. Also the fact that you know Morrowind mechanically makes your solutions very enjoyable to see
Theres multiple Morrowind challenge channels?
@@marksmit6718 Micky D but he stopped for now
I tend to agree. Good voice. Great game. Ive been playing for 20+ years an hes showing me new stuff. He does a dang fine job
You can always pin and resize the map to not have to constantly pause to make sure you are going the right way when backpedaling .
Thoroughly enjoy all your morrowind videos dude. The research and effort that's on display is great.
I learned a lot. Not just that I should actually talk people instead of running straight into tomb robbing on the island, but also to check the sun visors of Australian cars...
Very entertaining! Thank you!
14:48 Gosh, your description of folklore is BEAUTIFUL. I was laughing for like 5 minutes.
Fun folklore facts: German vampires are much more insidious and pathetic than a lot of other versions.
Called either "Nachzehrer", which means "after drainer", or "Nachtzehrer" (Night drainer), they were known for gnawing and sucking on their burial shroud, and thus draining the life out of people, all without leaving the grave.
As long as they did that, others in their village would be weakened and die of consumption.
The pathetic part comes into play with their weakness. While a lot of vampires love counting, the Nachzehrer is unable to count to three. Thus, by burying someone with more than three pebbles, the curse was contained.
Other countermeasures include: Closing the eyes of the deceased, closing their mouth, not letting their burial cloth touch their face, binding their arms, staking the corpse, binding it witrh a rosary...
There's a Valve meme in here somewhere.
I just wanted to show my appreciation for your channel my mans.
I came for the RuneScape stuff, but I'm thoroughly enjoying your elder scrolls stuff.
I'm sorry, but it is way better than runescape
As someone who has been a Micky D viewer since the beginning and watched all of his Solstheim at level one videos, this video is extremely welcome and incredibly cathartic to watch. Great stuff!
I love your morrowind content! I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I’ve been using them to fall asleep after I watch them through once, and they work so well! Please don’t take that as your content being boring, it’s very much not so. Your videos have been a life saver for my sanity, thank you and keep up the great work!
Nah dude falling asleep to someone’s content is a huge compliment. Your mind is at ease
the hammers at 23:20 cracked me up, your comedic timing and editing is so great! definitely one of my new favorite channels, looking forward to more!!!
Because you asked about weird folklore: The Wendigo is a creature from Algonquian (basically northern Native American tribes) Mythology typically associated with gluttony and cannibalism. Traditional tellings of the Wendigo mythology usually portray it as a human like spirit that possesses humans and inflicts them with an insatiable hunger and desire for human flesh. Sometimes it's portrayed as a more physical creature, said to bring with it cold and the stench of death. Some tellings even portray the Wendigo more as an idea or trait, something whose ravenous desire for more leads to discord and disharmony.
It annoys me how much modern pop-culture depicts wendigo as just being scary skeletal deer monsters. Even leaving aside any discussion about cultural appropriation, it's just way less interesting because they almost always end up removing the whole "induces cannibalistic madness in humans" thing that's kind of central to the myth.
@kiptheott5932 personally, I like the modern take on how Wendigos look, deer skulls give me the heeby jeebies. I 100% agree with you that removing their traditional powers sucks. Monster that compel *you* to do terrible things are way scarier than monsters that do those things themselves.
Bro really torturing himself for our entertainment. Godspeed brother, really doin god's work
That fourth wall break hit me like a freigh train, I was waking up from a nap watching this shit and suddenly- THE GREEN SCREEN CAME DOWN
For your information, the canon explanation of different save files is Dragon Breaks. Morrowind's is called the Warp in the West, Daggerfall had the Miracle of Peace. The gist of it is that Akatosh (The Dragon) goes senile for a bit ("breaks") so reality stops working properly, causing multiple and often contradictory things to happen simultaneously.
Usually, for games with multiple endings, people will ask which of them is canon.
For Daggerfall, all of them are!
Please never stop making these, i will 100% be here everytime
your morrowind videos are absolutely popping. i see the discrepancy on the views between your rs and mw videos and there's definitely an incentive there to keep making them. i hope you make rs videos for your og viewers too though. i'm not an og but i'm sure your og fans would appreciate it
I am a brain in a vat.
The vat just so happens to be made of flesh and bone.
Just finished your "lvl 1 in morrowind's expansion" video, incredible timing for this release. Exciting!
The spiral staircase thing is indeed a myth
The same week I start looking for parts for a new PC, the algorithm had the masterstroke the recomend me a channel currently doing weird playthroughs of a 20 year old game.
I was thinking about modding the hell out of Skyrim for the 10th time....but modding the hell out of Morrowind looks like tons of fun. (Of course after I play some vanilla playthroughs). Old Bethesda really gave you endless flexibility with builds back then!
Look for a map of vardenfel before going in,you will thank me later😉
I fucking love that you get obsessed over words and other small things. I do that so much, and its nice to know someone else does
19:36 I think if somebody became a pincushion trying to fight you, sunk cost fallacy would kick in and they wouldn't be giving up
Never thought that Lex Luthor likes Morrowind.
(Cool vid as always)
I was thinking he looked more like Patches from Dark Souls
Never seen that werewolf questline and movies, it looks so weird and trippy in comparison to anything else in 3D TES games lol i love it.
Reminds me of Thief series
I wonder how many players ever saw the movies. I barely made it past the Grahl, and that was a ton of hours.
@@karlk5801I think a lot of us “helped ourselves out” when necessary back in the day by turning the difficulty to -100 for “key moments”. Even with that the game still took 400 hours lol.
thank you for making such amazing videos about my favorite game. Your effort put into these is something to look up to.
Bro I discovered this channel like two weeks ago and I’ve binged every video you got. Downright addictive content. Keep it up, my dude.
There is a folklore monster in Jamaican or Grenadian culture that drops onto your shoulder as you walk through the forest and tells you "put me back where ya found me" penalties for non-compliance vary, but obviously you want to put it back where you found it
This is the best birthday gift ever, a Just Background Noise upload! Thanks for all this! Keep it up!
I'm very glad the algorithm showed me this channel. Great stuff man!
loved this challenge/playthrough. The solstheim DLC has such a warm spot in my nostalgic heart. Love yer content man, all these challenges bringe such a fresh spin on these old wonderful games. Keep it up king
Love seeing this channel blow up, your content is perfect for unwinding after work.
Always an instant watch for me :)
There's very few times I watch videos this long, but you somehow managed to keep my attention the entire time with your jokes and tone.
Thank you very much.
Hell yeah, love seeing these ones in my feed.
Great stuff as always :)
man i just love your long videos, really make my day
Been loving the videos mate thanks for the content
The most common creature in latviešu myths are jodi /juadi/. They are man shaped, with tails and horns covered and claws, red eyes, black skin covered in black fur and they posess a fraction of all the powers of a god. Their breath can blow you off your feet with wind, they can lift bolders and throw them for 100s of meters, they can run and fly just under the speed of sound, they can pulverize stone with their hands and swing arround whole trees as a human would sticks. You can not fight one, the way you deal with them is by trickery, tho immortal they are not smarter than humans. Chalange one to how high you can throw a stone and he will throw a stone a kilometer high, but you throw a bird and since it never falls you must have thrown it higher.
Absolutely banging video, keep up the amazing work!
Love your videos! Thank you for making them!
28:43 undderated joke nearly spit my coffee out
Breaking through the algorithm for morrowind videos! I gotta say I’ve watched the RS and the Morrowind and you have the VO down pat and great editing to boot! Please keep making videos on whatever you think is interesting, you’ve got hundreds of thousands of views already on these videos in a few weeks and some in a few days! Absolutely legend!
Man, I love these videos. It's fun seeing how a challenge like this can actually be completed
I see a new JBN video, and my day is made. I see that the new JBN video is over an hour long, and my whole week is made.
I love your stuff man, your voice is so soothing and your videos are so hilarious. Keep up the awesome content
I gotta say man I love these videos and as someone who has been following you since your early RS3 content, I’m glad to see you and others stepping out of the unfortunate pit that is RS content. You’re always more than the game you play, the personality is why people stay!
the fourth wall break made me sub to your channel. awesome work, and keep it up you magnificent goblin!
Background Noise face reveal! Dude but seriously, just discovered your channel and I love all these Morrowind videos. Thanks for the great content!
I love the passion and love the commentary.
Idk what it is, but I like hearing this guy ramble on about stuff, genuinely. Whether it's his narration of what he's doing in-game, or his explanation of some obscure piece of elder scrolls trivia, or even just his random tangents on whatever topic his rambling leads to... It's just always entertaining.
Seriously I don't know what it is, sure he's pretty good at strategies and overcoming obstacles, but I've seen better. He's pretty funny, but plenty of other people doing these are a lot funnier. He has a lot of knowledge about elder scrolls and fantasy stuff in general, but I think I've got him beat pretty significantly there myself.
I'm not trying to be insulting either 😅 I just can't figure out why I just found the dude, and im already getting snacks and drinks sorted so i can binge watch his videos
Your videos just keep getting better, keep up the good work
These videos are incredible, thank you.
Describing how painful healing yourself through drowning reminded me of the game Summoner that came on in 2001 on PC. The lore in that game is that if you drown in a specific ocean (or all oceans, I can't remember specifically) you're cursed to experience the pain of drowning for eternity. I played through that game when it came out, and despite it being fantastic I haven't really messed with it much since, but that bit of lore has haunted me for nearly 25 years.
really love your vids bro, keep it up
Man I hope you get as many subscribers as you deserve soon. All of these Morrowind videos have the vibe of something that would make a channel suddenly grow a ton.
Your Morrowind videos are amazing. This feels like content that was created specifically for me. I love you
Man I love these kind of runs. I already watched this video twice since you uploaded it and am just at the third go. Both relaxing and entertaining somehow... And good background noise while I play myself xD
Fellow Vaporeon fan who hates what the internet did to our beloved mon.
EXACTLY 😭
ah man ive been watching your morrowind videos to go to sleep and getting this tonight is highly improving my mood
This is my new favorite channel, these Morrowind videos kick ass
My new favorite channel to binge
Fun fact, true Australian huntsman spiders are completely harmless and mostly docile, but there are more deaths attributed to them than any other spider in Aus, because of the exact reason Background brought up. Such a badass reference!
Keep cranking those videos out. I’ve fallen in love again with Morrowind. I eagerly await your uploads they are relaxing and very entertaining.
This is fast becoming my favourite UA-cam channel, from osrs to morrowind, it’s all beautiful
these videos are really good man. :)
Another fun video, keep making these JBN!
weird folklore: the scariest monster from yorkshire is a dog that just kills you (the barghest). we aren't the most creative.
We got those in America too. We just call the pitbulls though. Not as cool of a name :(
Your voice is so calming, and mixed with the color palette of Morrowind, your videos do such a wonderful job calming down my anxiety attacks. They're really great and I really appreciate them. I hope you have fun and make lots of ad revenue from these.
Honestly enjoyed this video way more than I expected for a random video I clicked on. I enjoyed the little quips like the ones on chirality, the kulpas being saves, sphinx and sphincter lmao. Good shit, this will really help my openmw marksman playthrough a ton.
I love the lore bits you add, it's nice when a person is actually interested in the game haha
I love the world weary let kindly look of the Imperial guy on the bridge
Wall break bit was a good bit. Love the vids
I just wanna say, morrowind challenge runs are not something I knew I needed. Thank you for your effort, the content is worth it.
hey man i've been watching for awhile just wanna say congrats on the success lately its been awesome to see
Hell yes. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for video, it was fun to watch
i appreciate the bonus content in the captions
Dude, I love your sense of humour, it's wonderful!
just subbed, its funny your YT handle cuz I use channels like yours to lul me to sleep xD
you have the perfect chill vibe and low pitch for that too
I really enjoy your content.
I dont know who you are, but youtube started autoplaying you. Your channel name is a perfect description as this played for 40 mins before I even realized it was on. Instant sub.
YO
you make good videos
thanks man
I giddily await every video from you these days.
I just gotta say this channel is like my weakness, I just play it while I’m trying to relax and I calm down. Great video dude!
I am really really loving the morrowind videos you make. I subbed for RuneScape, but this is dope stuff!!!!!
Another post another good day. Keep it up, King.
I love your content!
Mr. Background Noise, you've done it again! Keep up the bangers!
It's been cool to see you progress so much as a player in Morrowind. You can definitely see the difference in fundamental understanding from the first vid to now.
you crack me up constantly, the repair hammers bit lives rent free in my memory now
~8:25 I'm pretty sure those guys turned on you because you accidentally shot the man in blue in the back, rather than the wolf.
I appreciate that's very much not obvious, I had to watch a replay a few times to work it out 😅
I do enjoy Bloodmoon giving you the choice to become a werewolf, and work *for* Hircine, or cure yourself and work against him. It's fun playing both sides.
(And that reminds me of another thing - the three Great Houses. I like that you can only join one in a single playthrough, making the decision feels like it *matters*.)
