omg please play kenshi on your channel

46:30 i know this is months in the past but i would still love a morrowind stream

cataclysm dark days ahead has a bag system like that (each one is a tab you can sub organize etc) and I really like there. definitely also another game I'd suggest if you're able to get into top down "roguelike" roleplay games

Please make a video about dungeons. I would love to hear what you think makes a great dungeon.

i dont think i will ever get use to green being health and red being stamina

Bogard using the Sentinel elevator? Never thought I'd see the day!

Im playing Daggerfall Unity for the first time and I love it. The dungeons, the citys, the freedom is awesome. I finished Arena and now Im playing Daggerfall. I will finished all Elder Scrolls Games.

What an absolute treat after the end of the busy holidays! As a spear wielding Morrowind argonian enjoyer, I’m extra delighted. Also love all the cool new mods you’ve got!

I watched this video when it showed up in my feed not long after it was uplaoded and I have no idea why to be honest as I have no interest in Elder Scrolls. But I vaguely remembered you talking about Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser and it sat in the back of my mind for almost a year, although I completely forgot the title. Just recently I was looking for a book to read and this random video of some guy (you) playing some random game I didn't know the name of popped into my mind. So I scoured TH-cam for maybe an hour looking for this video just to remind myself of the title of the book you mentioned. Anyway that was a few days ago now and I've just finished the first book Swords and Deviltry and really enjoyed it, now starting on the second. So thanks for the recommendation, I just thought you'd like to know that lol.

Excellent video, Micah! Hope you had a very merry Christmas. I like what you did to show how suboptimal classes allow you to explore completely different aspects of rpgs that the more optimized classes do not. I wonder if the presence of these suboptimal classes are not also a decent part of what inspired some of the modders who have done cool things such as the language overhaul and whatnot. As for character archetypes that I return to in rpgs, I tend to either favor holy warriors, hunters or wilderness outdoorsmen, or elementalist mages. More recently, I have begun to enjoy using items and consumables in rpgs and thus I've begun to take an interest in playing characters who employ resources that will not simply replenish without work or cost. Also, I think that Zebulun is the name of one of Jacob's children in the book of Genesis, right?

I just love how regular weapons don't work on quite a lot of enemies that you can find very early on in the game. Honestly even a boring dungeon becomes way more interesting when you're running from your life, into the unknown

Acrobat khajit was my first ever elderscrolls character in morrowind

ive defiinitely also experienced being pursued on the borders despite being outside of the offending kingdom on a scoundrel character. im not sure if it's base game or added by some mod or even a bug but i like the idea of it regardless- i think Wantedness maybe permeates like reputation and propagates around it but to a small degree?

1:44:05 Lore implications is regeneration. I like it.

Glad you’re back, amigo. Shoutout to you for taking a break.

58:40 What a ridiculous rumour, there isn't even any temples of Kynareth in Antiphyllos it's a Mara region.

HOWD I MISS THIS

one alternative ive thought of RE fast travel in a situation like this where you also want to experience overland exploration as an often "required" element is simply to allow fast travel by "Ship" but not by land- allowing you to make some of the massive journeys required for the game in convenient ways that also make sense to me

I play as Cleopatra the Charming, no combat or magic, only languages, etiquette and streetwise... and archeologist mod. Now all creatures fight for me and serve me, but the start was sooo hard!

I honestly can't recall being infected by a rat back in the day, but on the other hand I was way less fluent in English and not good at the game back then. In case you didn't know: When you are showing the map of a region you can right click it (I think), to zoom a little more in.

i think "caves of qud" is a game you might find interesting too by the way

I’m playing an ironman character now (inspired by your vids, it’s very fun!). Unfortunately the game bugged out on a quest and I would get ambushed no matter where I was; it was the Fighter’s Guild quest where you get teleported to the middle of a dungeon (I verified that I shouldn’t have been getting ambushed in the dungeon by assassins). I had 1 character death during that quest that I ultimately rejected as legitimate, since I did escape the dungeon and did travel by inn for several days (during which no healing occurred), it made no sense that my dude was jumped within 1 hour of resting at an inn inside a walled city. Annoying since I remained injured from the opening fight in the quest the entire time. Unfortunately, I do think an Ironman playthrough of Daggerfall requires some ground rules on the part of the player. Mine is that if there is a bug, then the death wasn’t legit.

Amazing video friend! The format was spot on. I don't know how much more labour intensive this was, but I would love more deep dives like this. Really, really fantastic! Thank you so much!

Excellent as always.

Just by chance have you tried the Daggerfall mod (struggle for the iliac bay) in mount and blade warband?

i got food poisoning recently and was in a hell of discomfort and in desperate need of a really longform content. this series ended up being the perfect thing- thank you

loved this. would be cool to explore the same character in daggerfall, morrowind. & oblivion in one video

you're a teacher too??? What subject? I'm obsessed with daggerfall and I teach English!

I still remember the first thing that I got disappointed about with Morrowind: Climbing wasn't a thing.

8:04 Love the Morrowind spear fan shoutout! 😆

Love your content!

"Bribe the guard? Hell naw. The guard should be bribing me to escape with his life..." Almost pissed my pants doing laundry listening to you, bro. Peace and love to you and your family. Baby number three is on the way over here. No time for Daggerfall so I listen to you play haha.

I enjoy your content as a new Daggerfall fan. I have question, how to have multiple characters saved ? Because I always lose all my saves when I start a new one.

This was really fun to watch, but honestly, I'd totally love a series of these for the mod recommendations alone. Do you have any other general recommendations? It's been quite a while since I last dipped into DGU, eheh. :U ----- As for TES archetypes I lean towards: one particular idea that I've always really, really enjoyed is the concept of a Scoundrel. Back when I built them in Morrowind last year, I basically designed them as a thief with a penchant for fistfights, crossbows, and shady dealings. They knew Sneak and Security, but they were less interested in the usual thief-y activities like breaking-and-entering. Instead, they were more about "treasure-hunting", or smuggling in illicit goods and substances (represented by Enchant and Alchemy, respectively!). Granted, that was a lot more "headcanon"-ish, since nobody complains about you selling Dwemer coins and junk, but you get the idea. :p To me, it really struck a good balance between being rogue-ish and being more adventure-ready - you have a reason to get out and go hunting for things like Dwemer goodies, but it also fulfills that fantasy of being this fast-talking, quick-witted scrapper. Someone who could win in a bar fight, but could also slip out the back or just shoot their way out. I did try making one in DGU as well, but I think if I tried it again, I'd probably lean a little more into thievery (especially after seeing this vid!).

I guess i need to check out nexuw its been a minute

love this video as someone who has always been drawn to these classes :) the burglar has always been a particular fascination of mine, with its inexplicable restriction to plate armor. What mod is giving the alterative starting dungeon to privateers hold? I'd love to give it a try!

Do you have a full modlist you recommend? (any aside from the ones linked in the description)

dude ive always mourned the loss of the acrobat archetype in fiction. I am so glad I share a favorite class with you.

WHAT

Thank you very much for the ideas in this video, i may actually give them a go since i was considering to do another Daggerfall playthrough. People always meme about Skyrim's "stealth archer" but personally, since the time of TES1: Arena, i've never seen any reason to play anything that isn't a battlemage/spellblade, other than to just mess around...having a character that relies 75% on magic and 25% on melee, in these games, is always absurdly better not just in a "meta" sense (which i don't really care about in a single player RPG) but from an enjoyability and quality of life point of view too... I love playing thieves in RPGs, but if thieves in your game are just bad melee fighters with stealth mechanics that don't work, and a world where the "thieving skills" have barely any use...it's just pointless.

a daggerfall channel with a trs pfp? this is the best taste ive seen on youtube

Always great to see a new upload 👏👏👍👍

Thoroughly enjoy your videos! Thank you!

When a olayer at my table takes stealth as a fighter or melee abilities as a rogue I generally have to remind them there is no commando class. Either go sneakily or face your foes, you can't sort of sneak and then fight your way out when you fail. What stakes are there if breaking stealth isn't certain doom?

I tried the game michah and I can say it really sucks. Like the game it is a bad game, too outdated mechanics, same shopkeepers, can't kill npcs in buildings? I think I rather watch you play it. Just not my cup of tea, but now I will get a cup of tea and watch you play.

As one's tastes in RPGs mature, stat optimization takes a back seat to stat themeing - to otherwise min max or play a meta build can be seen as removing grain, smoothing a surface where it'd be more interesting with the abrasion in place. That's where wierdos like ES monks (pugilist priests) & acrobats come in.

I honestly love playing 'weak' characters who are really specialized in particular and kind of strong things. Lately I've been playing a dunmer girl who calls herself "The Glass Cannon", a custom class that is specialized in magic and can absorb spells--including her own-- but has a tiny health pool and really has to act fast if she wants to survive.

I think thief/rogue have gotten better in more modern games as you have more vertical 3d environments, physics, and in general more non-combat alternatives. On the other hand mages imo have gotten worse as newer games seem to not want to have more complicated magic.

i tried the premade classes in my first playthroughs and it really sucked

Love your build videos. Please make more. Since Adventure Art is mia, it's all you. No pressure tho😂
