You can beat Morrowind without the Main Quest

Nerevarine? More like Never-varine.

What mods am I using? Nothing gamechanging. I'm using the OpenMW engine with their curated "I Heart Vanilla" modlist. It's mostly bugfixes and graphical enhancements.

"persist in the doomed world you have created" still goes so hard 20 years later

Azura seeing a random Redguard kill Dagoth ur and leaving Red mountain :
"Who the fuck are you ?!"

[FrenchyMcToast]

Fun fact: the Daedra speak with your mouth. When you go afk the idle animation is just a slow camera rotation in 3rd person. When that happened during one of the Daedra Prince's monologues I discovered that *I* was the one speaking. I thought it was neat and was disappointment when it was removed from subsequent games, even if it was probably just a hack to make the voices work.

I personally love how nothing scales with level. It allows me to play the game naturally and not worry about leveling efficiently.

The people of morrowind witnessed a random crack head flying throughout the land killing all the gods and demigods, even destroying the heart of lorkhan, only for him to od on adrenaline and die.

"It is not too late for my mercy, " Dagoth Ur says, stripped of his immortality, burning to death in the magma.

Instead of the real plot of Morrowind, this is a story of a supposedly doomed world where the prophesied hero never came. So some random criminal decided "fuck that", collects the most powerful artifacts in all the land, uses them to kill two gods to save the world, and then dies of exhaustion from overexerting himself during the final battle. That goes so much harder than the actual plot lmao

[anonopossum]

scribs interrupt sleep but you dont actually have to kill them, theyre just checking on you

[louissteyn]

I remember reading a fan theory once that the game giving you the persist in a doomed world message you get after killing vivec despite being able to still beat the game is just vivec using the last of his chim powers to try and manipulate the player into loading a save game and effectively reset reality to prevent his death

For anybody who didn't know: you can really easily get cheap training by making a damage skill spell and reducing your chosen skill to train to 0 for luke 1 or 2 seconds. Training to level 1 will always cost 1 gold, and will still add to your total whenever the skill resets. Makes grinding levels a lot easier without completely emptying your pockets and still guaranteeing you that +5 in whatever attribute you need. It also gets around the whole "You may not train a skill above its governing attribute" thing.

Keep these vids coming, you're filling a hole that formed after Micky D took a break for his health, feeding my addiction to Morrowind videos

[katherinebot]

Actually, you can "beat" morrowind even without the jury-rigged wraithguard. If you have enough health, you can hotkey swap the dagger into your hand and out of your hand again and again to do all the necessary damage to the heart. You can also use a spear's knockback to just knock Dagoth Ur into the lava and not deal with him for the rest of the fight. I know this because it's how I beat Dagoth Ur on a TES3MP server lol.

[tjcookmusic]

So cool. I always wanted to do a “backdoor” run. I love that Morrowind made it possible to screw up your game and still finish the main quest. Such incredible roleplaying options.

[bigmclargehuge]

Hey, your previous Morrowind video about Marksmanship is what got me to download and try the game again after bouncing off in the past. I've gotten farther than I ever have before(by which I mean I spoke to shirtless man and have killed at least one cliffracer.)

[DamnDaimen]

The jury rigged wraithgaurd is left handed so you can use it with the real wraithgaurd at the same time.

[reevesmagoo]

The sheer overflow of your fatigue bar is simply staggering. I always spent my time in Morrowind totally drained of fatigue, but you manage to always have more than enough! I can tell because it says so on the screen, and there's no way you could fake that.

[AaronJR]

Thats why I love Morrowind. I realized halfway through my first play I could just go up to Dagoth and win the game once I had enough HP to hold the tools for long enough.

[SupahTrunks]

I was not prepared for how threatening the “you should run now” would be right off the bat

[Hyndsyte]

JBN: "Chance to block is based on this equation."
Also JBN: "I couldn't find the equation."

Why is this so funny?

[TuberoseKisser]

When I was younger, the line "you should run now" terrified me as much as taking two steps outside of a city.
