Thanks for the shoutout! Honestly, it was kinda cathartic watching you go through some of the same struggles as me. Some of the spells in Morrowind have really unintuitive behaviour and even behave differently depending on whether you're using the base engine or OpenMW. Many of the older videos/resources that document gameplay behaviour aren't always congruent with the OpenMW implementation. Great video as usual! Keep it up, you're doing wonders for the Morrowind renaissance.

I wish I had the confidence of dark brotherhood assassin trying to assassinate the nerevarin inside the red mountain in front of a mad god.

[swellyww]

Dagoth Ur is not just a creature. And certainly not a thing. And ofcourse he is not a humanoid. He is a God! How could you mind control a God? What a grand and intoxicating innocence...

[vivecald-vehk]

The fact some random Dark Brotherhood assassin made it that far into the Red Mountain, just to jump you after chilling with Dagoth Ur, made me laugh so hard

[BlindlyMashing]

When you're gazing upon the heart and chilling, then he puts his hand on your thigh and calls you "Sweet Nerevar." 😳😳😳

[MaisuBirb]

LOVE the shoutout to Mehrunes Mike, got them recommended too a few days ago and it was a banger!

[Moewenfels]

I think your skilllevel at words is pretty high actually.
The failure chance just never goes away.

[annabellerice]

This is by far, the silliest and most creative way to beat Morrowind I've ever seen

[gokufirespit]

“We’re all just puppets with internal strings” made me have to sit down. I got very existential in that moment.

[Iyasenu]

That was really something! I also gotta say: Seeing the Heart of Lorkan just by itself in the middle of the Balmora Mage's Guild? I hate it!
Also, I really liked the "Secret Scroll Vendor" joke. Poor Tarhiel, lol.

[Coldkill]

Crazy coincidence, I saw Mehrunes Mike's video just the other day

[mohamedmaatougui]

Mehrunes Mike nabbed his method from Corprus Hunk the true OG morrowind goat

[Shiptoast]

Someone mentioned it somewhere, but there's an earlier version of this challenge to be found: an old channel called corpus hunk doing a whole pacifist playthrough

[lotoreo]

I literally had to laugh out loud when you were in the heart chamber, the voice clip plays saying "no recall or intervention!" and immediately went "oh, good way to start levelling up my mysticism" lol... and then when you actually DID steal the heart, I did NOT see that coming lol, I love how Morrowind still keeps surprising me after 22+ years... I NEVER thought you could do that

[ianmorris]

Jesus dude, you're nailin it with these Morrowind vids, I've LOVED every one of them! Gratz on your mad skills with language and humour, your passion for the game reminds me of why I still dive into it over twenty years later....Built my first custom PC just to play Morrowind but still learning new things from yourself, and many others in the comments....Great content, great Community. thanks :}

[PourzHD]

3:26 this poor man (corpse) has been robbed so many times. F, truly goated.

[vulpinitemplar]

Developer oversights leading to kidnapping the Heart are easily one of my favourites, bug related or otherwise like simply being a design oversight they tend to lead to some of the silliest shenanigans a game can offer.

[MarkofWisdom]

20 minutes-Dagoth Ur, foiled by his creaky knees and bad back, making it so he can't bend down and leave his own room

[Rennat]

I love the wholesome ending of bring back the guild guide to her original location haha

[Izithel]

Okay, that actually made me go "Haha, what?!?" very loud.

Also thanks for being considerate with your 'sponsor' choices, it always pains me when I see YouTubers I like who just accept any and all offers that come their way, no matter how scammy or scummy the company making the offer is.
