When I first (last) played morrowind I chose argonian as it was the least ugly race, played many many hours before drifting away to pastures new. I've not played anything as immersive since.

it was "rough" because you're used to the hand holding of Skyrim

It's funny because this goes both ways. This was my first Elder Scrolls game and I played it on xbox. Took me a few years of off and on play to get into but once I did it hooked me. Then trying Skyrim I just couldn't get into how simplified it was.

I had this game on the xbox, default was inverted Y-axis, no way to change it, so this game forced me to learn to play like that and I can never go back to normal controls because of it

The play Morrowind you need lot of Patience and to KNOW how to Read... TikTok 5sec attention generation will struggle

Ngl I tried playing Morrowind years ago and hated the game, kept dying so I shelved it, but after the Starfield DLC was a disappointment I kept hearing people keep harping on about Bethesda at it's peak and Morrowind just kept coming up, Had to give it a shot again, it's still insanely rough to get into but I can absolutely see why people love this game.

If you get vampirism early you can move much faster.

When you bought the game on disc back in the day it came with a map. So looking it up isn’t cheating.

Time for part 2.

Honestly, at this point, Reddit has become entirely useless when it comes to most things.

You had to be there at the time.

Next video pls

When that random man fell from the sky all those years ago I knew I was where I needed to be.

I could only last 2 minutes watching this Zoomer brain rot is real

This was suggested to me and your zoomer takes are too cringe sorry

Is this worth it without sub?

Playing this game as a teenager shaped who I'd become as an adult. Glad you got to experience it!

You can save hours with mark and recall spells, and interventions as well

USING A MAP IS OK AND NOT CHEATING! The original games shipped with a 2ft x 18in (or something like that) physical map so you could actually reference it while playing. edit: you brought it up 7 minutes later, right on!

This game was incredible to play as a kid

Nordy was my fist character name I suck at naming characters especially when I was 14 lol but I really wish they would go back to the journal system though or have it where we can toggle it in the settings, I loved having to figure things out for myself yes it can be frustrating but it was so rewarding when I finally found that dungeon or whatever I was tasked with it made me feel smart.

no. you need to play Arena. that started the whole thing. Hopefully, your eyes won't bleed when you play it for FREE on steam. signed, a former Bethesda Softworks employee. 😂

You should play "easy" mode. Just choose an Orc and you have the Beserk power. Once activated, you are guaranteed to hit enemies, which helps increase your levelling much faster, plus makes it quite fun for a beginner.

I first played Morrowind before the DLC was even released for it. The physical map was very helpful but I also would literally write things down on paper because I didn't realize you could pull up your Journal and search for things (like the directions to get places). If you're still running through your playthrough the Journal is super useful once you realize all of the information it keeps, it's just not super intuitive when you first start playing.

Also unarmed is super op at high levels

If you want to cheat and move around and pretend your flying just open the console and type tcl. It'll turn off collision.

You have to treat it with patience. It's not like other games these days whatsoever. You have to understand roleplaying like D&D and also have played macintosh rpgs lol. That's why your character misses all the fckn time in morrowind at the beginning haha. My fav is still and always will be Oblivion. Idk why ppl ride skyrim's D so much tbh.

This is the open-world adventure/exploration game, you're not meant to have answers, so guides were a bad idea. If you can't find something then you can't find it, that's part of the exploration process. I'd advise against using more guides, instead try to feel more open to the idea of moving quests to a backlog if you can't figure them out and try something else. Use the journal to catch up on it later when you've discovered some area or NPC that you couldn't find before. Someone requests urgent help against bandits, but doesn't tell you where? Just ignore it for the next 10-30 hours of gameplay until you stumble on the location by accident.

Bro, this game changed gaming for me. I loved rpgs prior but I got so invested in Morrowind it wasn't funny. Like I didn't think about anything else for months. This advice is too little too late but I wouldn't play as Argonian or Khajiit as they make it so you can't use some amazing armor. P.S. The paper map was crucial to playing the game.

I miss having an ability to read. I remember playing this as a kid, not only reading every text but being a non-English speaking kid, I had to use a dictionary (like an actual book kind) to find words I didn't know to figure out the instructions in the quests. Fond memories, RIP to reading and having an attention span.

So tips... Don't talk to people pointing a spear at their faces :D immediately lowers your standing by a lot

One of my favorite ways to play was to always be jumping everywhere you go, eventually your skill gets so high you can jump over buildings with no spell effects

thanks for giving Morrowind a try! love watching people try it out for the first time, hope you revisit it sometime. your editing and writing is really good man can't wait to check out more of your videos

Oh no! READING!!

Do you remember the spirit in the soul cairn (skyrim) that lost the pages of his life story he was writing.... That's Jiub, same one from the ship when you awake at start of morrowind

I've been hearing the same Nord dude for the past 15 years lol. Takes me out of immersion every time bc the dude's accent cracks me up so much.

liked and subscribed. amazing work

Dont feel bad about using the map online. The original game box came with a big paper map you could hang on your wall. Edit: continued watching the video and saw you had already discovered that. Carry on. Looking forward to part 2. It's a right of passage. You must complete what you have started, Nerevar.

magic enchanting and alchemy is all you need to become a literal god is this game

Played this game on the original xbox, and I was hooked. I had no idea what to expect since I never played an RPG, but it was just so awesome being able to gain experience by doing just about anything. Even jumping helped with acrobats, and so I was constantly hopping and seeing far I can jump off things without dying. Then I learned about flying and crafting magic spells. That was a game changer for me.

god the eso reddit 😭 reddit incarnate worse place ever. 4chan is more welcoming. I did have a eso queer guild with some close friends. since like 2020. a lot of stuff happened and now its mostly dead. i havent been playing the game either i have like 7k hours in it. i guess everything turns stale after so much time. been playing since 2016 cool game.

Great video. Thanks for the upload. I'm a huge TES 4 & 5 fan. I tried ESO years ago, but it wasn't for me. By the way, modded Skyrim VR is absolutely incredible.

Defo will be playing this game, thanks for the recommendation; just wanted to say that lack of colours in Skyrim IS NOT a downside, Skyrim is a northern, Viking-like land, north of Europe (I assume also Asia and America) is fairly colourless in comparison with the rest of the world. Additionally, it creates climate I truly love I wouldn't be playing colourfull Skyrim, horrible idea

Bro said if we hit 1500 likes he will do part 2, now he has 6500, a guess that means 4 more parts

You should really do Daggerfall that is the peak no doubt

Choosing an argonian for first playthrough is rough. The Boots of Blinding Speed which can be gotten very early and is arguably the most useful piece of equipment in the game.

Everyone is pissed talking to you because you have a weapon drawn out, which lowers their disposition towards you.

Mark and Recall, and scrolls of Divine Intervention will cut down on all the walking. Mark and Recall, place a mark and you can teleport there with recall. Use it near quest givers Divine Intervention will teleport you to the nearest temple Mages Guilds can also teleport you to other Mages Guilds.

A map came with the original game. That being said the temple in balmora has a box with the chance to spawn 2 shields worth 15k each. Just keep sleeping until they spawn and steal them and sell them to the scamp in the little city above. Then buy soul trap, jump, and any atribute or skill ups you want. Or summons if you wanna be the shadow monarch. Then create a spell that soul traps for 3 sec on a spell of w.e you want for 1 sec. Look at your feet and cast it. Welcome to being a super human. Let me know if you want some tips to make your playthroughs more enjoyable and how it really was when it came out.

It’s a commitment. You need the big ass guide book. You’re going to spend hours just walking in game and napping in real life as you keep going and going. Jump constantly - just build a muscle memory so you jump every single step. Get the magic boots. Do a little enchanting. Get speed and jump so you can cover ground like a maniac.
