if you needed a wheelchair in morrowind you could live on levitation spells and just float around lmao 20:20

You guys think the city dumps sewage and trash in the odai? The smell that would rise in the middle of town at 12 o'clock... Also Balmora has a big Comona Tong presence, the rival gamg/cartel to thiefs guild, so you gota have a high amount of gang violence happening in those windowless alleys.

Oh wow, TH-cam algorithm really does know me.

Love it! "Should be fun, at least for me." LOL

this is cute

Proletarian X did a remake of Balmora and coincidentally fixed both the lack of lights and a guardrail near the river! And a boat on the river too.

The Morrowind time is 6 times faster than ours, so the time to traverse the city should be multiplied. And seeing that you're an expert parcourer, you should go a bit easy on a common not-acrobat people and add a couple minutes. 😊 And wow, Council club, huh. I wonder what interesting information that guy in a fort got for you. 🤗 Also would you adress the lack of infrastructure for kids and lack of children in general. Also all Argonians are trans in a way, if I remember correctly. So nbd, probably) Very chaotic inspection ❤❤❤

hell yes over-analyzing morrowind I am always down for that

Dude. Long time TES fan, even longer time anthropology/sociology fan. Excellent video, immediate follow.

Why do we need to care about walkability? You can fly, can't you?

Hell yes urban planning

Tell me.... about these "other things" your budget covers? :)

Morrowind has cities? 20 houses is a city?

No further questions, subscribed

another sort of weird morrowind-specific form of zoning/housing terms are the guild houses (and hlaalu manor, which despite its name, is basically a guilhouse of sorts) as they're both commercial spaces with the services prvided there, but also seem to be the medium-term residences of the local guild staff/house retainers

oh yeah this is what I'm talking about

Omg, I already love this concept, reminds me a lot of AnyAustin's series on documenting the unemployment rate of Skyrim's cities! XD I am very much looking forward to your analysis of Vvardenfel's urban planning!

The algorithm doesn’t let me down!

I would think the #1 priority would be food and water. It's on a river yes, there's an egg mine... but it's not one of your criteria. There aren't any farms in the region, but there are some in Vanderfall, but no stilt striders to get them to town. Must be a lot of window gardens. Nearby resources to construct the city, there's plenty of stone in a mountain region, but it's incredible a mere 93 people could create such a village. Village being a population term. Another factor is why the city exists. It's not really a port despite being on a river in a hub area. There's a stilt strider, but no guars or boats.. There's a fortress nearby, but there's no off duty soldiers there. No real entertainment businesses beyond pubs. Lots of pubs for a mere 93, but I guess that's ancient life, not everyone had a method to cook food in their home. Another issue is the sewage. Where's it going? Into the river with the drinking water? Guess it doesn't matter in a village of 93 people compared to San Francisco which is currently having an issue. No lighting around the waterfront? You're gonna have a lot of people night drowning. You discuss accessibility, where's the ladder to get out of the water? It's just a pit to drown in. I can understand no ladders for defensive purposes, but no life saving measures to fish people out of the river?

This was wonderful, very interesting, thank you.

You should do this with Cyberpunk

I'm down for some urban planning videos. Subbed!

We should let her cook.

for wheelchairs and stairs. levitation magic or potions is quite widespread and cheap in vaardenfell. it would provide a convenient, albeit slow, mode of transportation for disabled people. or maybe feather effects could help people walk in spite of their disabilities. Or maybe since necromancy is legal, maybe a paralyzed person could animate their legs? or maybe the availability of shrines that will cure all ills just makes it so people are generally healthy..

This is such a fun idea, and I can't wait for the next episode. Congrats on a good job for a first video, btw!

On the "Poor" side, about 30% of the people living there are in the CIA/Bladers.

I think Balmora is the only city I newer was called the N word in. N'wah.

Lmaoooo I love this.

Cool to see women get passionate for Morrowind 👍🏼

looking forward to this channel!

a collab with AnyAustin when?!

I like the idea, but I disagree with your methodology. Let me elaborate. Video game cities are represantative expressions of what they are not identical entities. Has Balmora 96 citiciesn (I'll trust you on the count without checking) - yes, but not literally. It's a vibrant local capital and seat of political power, that has proximity to the imperial mining town of Pelagiad, the agricutural Ascadian Isles regions, and support a mayor military installation with Fort Moonmoth - while maintaining trade. 96 people don't make sense for that because that's just litteral, they represant way morr and you can feel it. If you go literal: Vivec is a hole bunch of lonely people living in a way too large a superstructure, instead of an overcrowded capital city with a diverse populous and an seedy underbelly. Pelagiad is a fort and a hostel, instead of an important military town seated on a crossroad that provides stability for the hole region. Suran is a bikini bar and five traders, instead of a seedy moloch and trading hub for a quarter of Vvardenfell. And lastly Seyda Neen - it's not five shacks and a trader. It's a port city, connected by land and sea, with governmental border installations that handles mainland trade and migration, and also has a local fishing industry, as well as a more upper class central town with shopping aquaintances - so yeah that's the first proper city you ventured into. I think you should adjust this factor. Your qualitative arguments are very solid nonetheless. Just saying the hole could be better. Addendum: Regarding your diversity rating. There's really two possible stories that could have played out here and I'm not lore savvy enough to judge. In the first you have this powerful city with it's guilds, markets and political institutions that pushes the poor to the outskirts on the other side of the river. In the second you find a sleepy fishing and kwama egg mining town that was promoted to the state of regional capital by house Hlaalu taking up residence and attracting guilds and commerce on the other side of the river, without gentrifying the original poorer population on the opposite river bank and instead including them in the newly constructed town walls as full citicens. Well that's two almost contradictory outlooks on the city...

Thank you for taking the time to make it. Such a joy.

this is the exact intersection of my somewhat-niche interests that I needed

If you ever run out of cities for content get Tamriel Rebuilt and check out the upcoming Anvil mod. Seriously good job

I feel like the magic that is available to the public could very well be a factor in terms of city design. (It definitely is for the Telvanni wizards) Knowing how to cast levitate, telekinesis, or night eye would go a long way in improving the daily life of it's practitioners but could unfortunately be required for some to get by.

I love the morrowind lesbian fandom

aw heck yeah i love morrowind

Yay interesting i watch/listen to this while im working and it helps

hey this was really cool

>walkable cities 'hough

Awesome concept and video, love how niche and nerdy this is! Instant sub.

I decided to start playing Morrowind mostly on a whim on what seemingly was the very day this video was posted, and im so happy i have enough context to understand how absolutely hilarious this video is now

I never knew walkability was even a word. Isn't it usually called accessibility?

God i cant wait till i can move out of the urban hell that is vivec.
