If you are seeing this video and thinking. "Hey this video is Seven years old, I'll pass." Then you will be sorely missing out on a great story and let's play. Dave truly creates a character that you will get to know the ins and outs of, and how this character's unique personality affects they're every decision. Give it a go, you will be watching it for quite a while, and its a good ride. Leave a comment when you make it to the end of the series.
I finished this series a little while ago and I'm now rewatching it. As silly as it sounds I was a teenager when the first episode came out, I can quite literally say I grew up with this series and it's been a fantastic journey. Even with how much this series means to me it's sad that it's over, but i'm glad it happened. Thanks Dave, this series has always been a thing to look forward to and in that spirit I can't wait to see what comes next on the channel.
Oh i made it to the end alright! I was along for the ride from almost the beginning, and now i'm back to watch it again because i'm it is simply excellent!
Man. I didn't realize how long ago the start of this series was. I was 19 when this came out. I was over 400ibs, in a mental downward spiral, without a job, no money,living in my family's house that was getting foreclosued and one bad day away from going crazy. Today I'm the breadwinner in my family, I'm under 350, I saved my house, I've been to therapy to help with my cocktail of mental issues and I have a support system of friends and people who I've let get close to me. This series really helped me back then and now I'm watching it again. This channel didn't save me but it sure did help me through a bad time.
Remember that most people don't get to start life with the privilege of inheriting a house that they can "save" by picking up a random job. Be thankful of what you have.
@@PlayerOfGames23 I know I got more lucky than a lot of people. At least I had a house to save from foreclosure, no help from my dad's crack addiction.
This series should be released on a bluray to be preserved forever. First watched it in my 20s, now im rewatching it while trying to get my son to sleep.
And the first thing he does is say that he would kill an animal in pain, just like Underwood does in episode 1. Now if only we could convince Dave to use the House of Cards theme when Fathis does something awesome...
SorcererDave If I may suggest, in the spirit of the character, could you do an occasional third person breaking the fourth wall monologue every time there's something interesting or snarky? You do it most of the time as Dave, but I would love to see Fathis break the fourth wall and share his opinions. Just a suggestion, totally up to you.

I first played Morrowind in 2004, when my parents divorced. This game helped me to cope, and really got me into RPGs. Since then, I have put thousands of hours into each of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. While the graphics and combat system has not aged well at all, it is still my favorite game and, in my opinion, the best of the Elder Scrolls games. It is so good to see a proper Let’s Play of this spectacular game. This series will be such a nostalgia trip. Well done sir!
"I'm sure they will let me go, I dunno about you" They also let him out and he also goes on an adventure, cleans Vvardenfell of every single Cliff Racer and is proclaimed by both the Tribunal temple and the New Temple as Saint Jiub the Eradicator
No, he is an idiot! Cliff racers are specifically bred by the telvanni for their plumes, for levitation potions because they most of them can't cast it, and because they try to murder everything else, just like them
+Jayden Quick Although it's a bit of a leap for me to claim such; I really do think that the game Morrowind stuck with the people who created it (and those who joined Bethesda afterwards) and will always have a place in the heart of everyone it touched. The latter part of that sounds a bit cliche and fruity per say but it shall be left for lack of better words.
YourGreatOldGranny "Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt. Everywhere dirt!" One thing I miss about the other TES games was the random sighing, whistling and strange comments.
Rewatching from the beginning since Dave hasnt active in awhile. Probably one of the best TH-camrs in my opinion. He could do an episode of Morrowind while reading the phonebook and I'd still be engaged in the LP.
Do you people think I'm bored out of my mind for starting to watch this LP for the THIRD time? Edit: now, 2 years later, for the 5th time. Dave, you're my favorite let's player, because you not play only rpgs, but because this rogs are the true diamonds among the ocean of rpgs out there, and Morrowind, with and without ad-ons, is in my opinion the best out of the Elder Scrolls.
Can't believe it's been so many years. I found this LP by chance, not being able to sleep i thought to myself 'hey it'd be really nice to find a person who is actually passionate about this game that followed me throughout my childhood' and here i arrived.. and dear me do i not have any regrets.. just leaving this here, hope you keep doing what you're doing Dave. Easily the best LP i have had the pleasure to watch, and frankly the most fortunate find of a channel for me. Cheers.
From one student to another.. your LPs are the only ones I bother to watch (seriously) and I find the perspective you bring to TES to be interesting, hilarious and at times, inspiring. I'm super happy you're doing Morrowind so please keep it up!! Thanks, Nico
Fun lore fact, Vvardenfell is Dwemeri for Heartfall as Vvardenfell is where Lorkhan’s heart landed after being thrown into the sea. Similar to how Hammerfall was originally called Volenfell meaning Hammerfall in Dwemeri as it’s where Volendrung landed after the Dwemer threw it to find a new land to settle.
Dosedmonkey It's not bigger. It's about half the size. I never fast travel in Oblivion and Skyrim answer trust name they feel much bigger than Morrowind if you take your time.
Cretaal Except you can fast travel in Morrowind. It just isn't as accessible as in Oblivion and Skyrim. Also, Skyrim and Morrowind are pretty similar in terms of size. However, Morrowind is bigger due to the fact that you can go ANYWHERE since you can levitate. Skyrim has a lot of dead space which you cannot reach by normal means.
Played Morrowind for 100s of hours completly love it, but its not bigger than Skyrim, Skyrim probably has more than triple the dungeons as well.Map wize vanilla Es3 Es4 and Es5 are very close in size, played coutless hrs in all them. With dlc and mods skyrim would be the lsrgest. No mounts and lots of walking in Morrowind makes it feal larger.
John Thomas i dont get how it had no depth, when there were more factions, and only the dungeons were randomly generated, and the pixels pretty much were the same of most gaames of that kind?
+John Thomas lol Modded Morrowind>Morrowind>=Daggerfall>Modded TES games> Skyrim>Oblivion>Online>Spinoffs>Arena. Daggerfall had far better rpg elements then any of its sequels. As well as more refine character custimization, skill system, and magic system. Oh and it also had a better story with more branching paths. With quest that made sense and allow more freedom. The Elder Scrolls is suppose to be an RPG not a hiking/exploration sim. The only thing that was rg was dungeons and misc npcs. Everything else remains the same throughout every copy. tl;dr I disagree. I disagree. And no.
Just want to say Dave, I'm enjoying the shit out of watching ALL of your "Let's play" vids. It's how I've been relaxing after many hard days recently. Please keep them going! Cheers
+Protoss Zerg I personally think it is, I as well came into this series with Oblivion and now I'm doing my own play through of Morrowind and I think it is a fantastic game so far, it is very in depth and there is a lot of things to do with it and it also holds importance in the lore of Tamriel.
+Protoss Zerg if your talking about the plot of the empire and the emperors, which all the other games are based around, you could say that morrowind kinda stands out in the whole spectrum in that it has nothing to do with the empire at all. All the stuff that happens in morrowind could have just as easily not happened and not effect the lore of the other games at all. If the neravarine never appeared dagoth ur would never have done anything and nothing would have changed in morrowind. tl;dr: no it isn't, lore wise. But morrowind is the best game in the franchise, so why wouldn't you.
+Mc crappymeal Some horrid speculation; I appreciate your understanding for the lore in regards to the region but I wouldn't go so far as to say "X only happened because of Y". Not to delve into causation and chaos-theory, as I'm sure this is more of an attempt to explain the Morrowind story in relation to the other core games, but Lorkhan most certainly could have destroyed the entire planet haha.
Oh ABSOLUTELY, I'd wholly recommend getting some graphical overhaul mods, at least for the character models if you could, as those are by far the most dated part of this game. However, it is still a fantastic experience that is worth playing through.
Ah man, I've been sick the whole day today and grumpy but once you started talking about two great Morrowind overhauls at the beginning and the fact that you tried to just throw them at each other and see what happens made me lmao! Thanks! :D
I used to watch another TH-camr’s let’s plays of this game. I keep coming back to this one though. I find comfort in watching familiar let’s plays especially those with heavy roleplay/story engagement and those where the TH-camr has a calmer voice. Helps me relax or multi-task for a variety of activities. I will admit I’ve fallen asleep to the Fathis epic several times over the years though I’ve gotten pretty good about rewinding and catching up on where I left off!
Growing up in the cotton belt with parents who were born in the 40s and knew fuck all about computers or gaming (seriously I taught them how to work the VCR at age 3...), I was never fornunate enough to get to play Morrowind, and hadn't really gotten into RPGs until a few years ago. I'm actually surprised I turned out to be a gamer at all. Regardless, it should be interesting to see this game play out, so I look forward to it!
Dave I must warn you, I played almost the exact same character as you a few months ago with completing the house Hlaalu quests in mind but was pretty disappointed. Other than one small collection of quests (that tbh won't even fit your character) hlaalu isn't too fun. You are used as an errand boy and nothing else. I would strongly suggest Telvanni instead. Think about it. Already they are of the same mind set as you. Just as grumpy and cold. However your advantage is that instead of rising to power of the strongest of the three houses with force, you can introduce the Telvanni to your "democratic" imperial ways. A technique that will be much less effective to hlaalu anyway from all their dealings with the imperial colonists. Hope you read this in time, only mention all this because if I remember rightly you never tried hlaalu.
The Horn of Jingles SorcererDave shall sound in the deep... One last time. Let this be the hour when we watch Morrowind together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn! Forth, Eorlingles!
Thanks for making these! Started with Oblivion on the PC back in 2006 but this is a great way to see what all the fuss was about with Morrowind, thanks for reading the books out loud and giving a background to the storyline as well.
Your evil sort of chuckle when you mentioned taking dead guys clothes was glorious :P Good to see that almost a decade later Morrwind is still very much alive an kicking, not as much as Skyrim.. but it was at it's time a very niche game, but damn Vvardefell takes me back, was so young I had to ask my mum to go on the computer for an hour after I had done my homework haha :p I hope the Sky-Wind project pulls through and is just as good as Morrowind, though I definitely do not miss the god damn Dice roll attacking of 100x misses to every single low damage hit :L
Dave I am so glad you are doing this LP; Morrowind remains my favorite of the Elder Scrolls series for a number of reasons; the depth and complexity of it's writing and story, the harshness of it's game system (at first), and all the RPG "fiddly bits" that have been stripped out of later titles. I hope you do take a long time with this LP, and am looking forward to watching this LP play out-cheers!
Dave for the missing table go into your Morrowind folder and delete the Morrowind\Meshes\f\Furn_De_Table_03.NIF file. For MGSO and Morrowind Rebirth to work together try to deactivate the some mods of MorrowindRebirth and MSGO.
I absolutely confirm, too, the trick to get rid of the annoying bug regarding the meshes but i was wondering exactly which mods one should disable from MGSO and the Rebirth to work together because... Well it's kinda hard to work it out^^ I know the question it's a little bit hard, but if someone can answer to this difficult question I will be very grateful. Many Thanks in advance!
And you are already aiding me with getting through the game. Actually writing a backstory first complete with a personality gives a focus and sense of direction, which is fortunate since it is very easy to get lost in this massive game.
It takes time for the quality to render, dude. That's TH-cam, not Jingles/Dave/Whatever the fuck we call him now. Because I haven't watched his channel in 'bout a year.
Thefishoverlord I know man, I did kinda blame TH-cam for this... however after re-reading that comment I can definitely see how you would have some slight confusion.
Best lets play ever. Only ever gotten through volume 3 lol. There's so much to this game, especially with your amazing mod list. If you want a series to get hooked on, this is surprisingly it.
This cropped up in my feed today. It's fascinating to think that Fathis' story has been going for five YEARS! That's some dedication both your part and the part of the viewers.
Brilliant to have you back Dave, I've just started playing Morrowind myself so I'm really excited about this lets play! Your vids convinced me to buy both Morrowind and Oblivion, I've played Skyrim for about a year now but I'm really enjoying the older games.
I'm watching this on the threateningly firm recommendation of a good friend of mine that's been watching SorcererDave's channel since before it was even named as such. Since I'm more familiar with Dave's 2021-2022 work, the old voice caught me somewhat off-guard, but I'm getting somewhat used to it. Looking forward to the glory that was foretold.
I just found your most recent oblivion playthrough and decided to check out your other stuff. Decided to watch in order if possible and enjoying this so far!
Honestly, any modded Morrowind installation (any modded game that's about 10 years old, really. God help my Baldur's Gate installation) is held together with prayers and duct tape. Nothing else can really be said. Love the game, love the commentary, and have been very much looking forward to this for a long time.
William Edward God-dammit TH-cam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(and whoever the fuck that was who did that sneaky ass shit)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh joy, can't wait to wait months on end for new episodes of this series... In all seriousness, I'm fairly excited to see this. I can't play Morrowind personally, so watching it should be interesting.
Love Morrowind. The first Elder Scrolls game I ever played. I was wondering if it would be able to run on my laptop. Probably not, but I am curious. Still have it for my XBox, so I can play it whenever I want, but cannot get the mods for it.
just came from the first bit of the 33rd episode "he'll be a magic & stealth kind of guy" which explains why he is running up to shit and stabbing it with a shortsword
Oh look! It's the only actual Elder scrolls game that is worth praise without mods. Glad to see your "coming soon" wasn't a lie this time and a hour long episode. :)
ok so the only elder scrolls game ive ever played is skyrim. So when you began the game it was pretty cool to see Jiub. I guess he wasn't lying after all when he said he was a hero in morrowind! Sad to see the old bastard ended up in the Soul Cairn all these years later lol, eventually he will meet Claudius eh?
Just starting this let's play for a second time now. It's one of my all time favorites and just really for comfort. It's funny though how your voice changed over the years. But still you can hear some familiar aspects in it. ^^ Happy to follow Fathis along for a second time. :>
He actually voice all of the male ghouls I'm pretty sure Can't be to sure, but don't believe me 100% I just think this, I read about it online, but I don't know if its all true
Actually Mike Rosson voices nearly all the ghouls in Fallout 3. Jeff Baker, the man who voiced Jiub was also in Fallout but he voiced a plethora of characters, from paladins to Harkness, to scavengers. The only ghoul our dear Dunmer voiced, was Desmond Harper from Point Lookout! Some people are lore buffs, I happen to be a voice actor buff lol
Character creation is one of the best parts of RPGs. You create the character's looks, their personality, their backround, and you are the one who'll figure out how the person got to that starting position and what their motivation for the rest of the game will be. I don't even care if there are limited amount of options, I'm not trying to make them like myself (only casuals would do that). Give me something to start with and I'll work it out.
If you are seeing this video and thinking. "Hey this video is Seven years old, I'll pass." Then you will be sorely missing out on a great story and let's play. Dave truly creates a character that you will get to know the ins and outs of, and how this character's unique personality affects they're every decision. Give it a go, you will be watching it for quite a while, and its a good ride. Leave a comment when you make it to the end of the series.

+Mc crappymeal Some horrid speculation; I appreciate your understanding for the lore in regards to the region but I wouldn't go so far as to say "X only happened because of Y". Not to delve into causation and chaos-theory, as I'm sure this is more of an attempt to explain the Morrowind story in relation to the other core games, but Lorkhan most certainly could have destroyed the entire planet haha.
Oh ABSOLUTELY, I'd wholly recommend getting some graphical overhaul mods, at least for the character models if you could, as those are by far the most dated part of this game. However, it is still a fantastic experience that is worth playing through.
if your ok with ok graphics and lots of reading, yes.
Ah man, I've been sick the whole day today and grumpy but once you started talking about two great Morrowind overhauls at the beginning and the fact that you tried to just throw them at each other and see what happens made me lmao! Thanks! :D
This videos four years old today and I remember watching this when it first came out
I used to watch another TH-camr’s let’s plays of this game. I keep coming back to this one though. I find comfort in watching familiar let’s plays especially those with heavy roleplay/story engagement and those where the TH-camr has a calmer voice.
Helps me relax or multi-task for a variety of activities. I will admit I’ve fallen asleep to the Fathis epic several times over the years though I’ve gotten pretty good about rewinding and catching up on where I left off!
Growing up in the cotton belt with parents who were born in the 40s and knew fuck all about computers or gaming (seriously I taught them how to work the VCR at age 3...), I was never fornunate enough to get to play Morrowind, and hadn't really gotten into RPGs until a few years ago. I'm actually surprised I turned out to be a gamer at all.
Regardless, it should be interesting to see this game play out, so I look forward to it!
Aaaaand there it is, my seething hatred for TH-cam's complete bollocks it refers to as a copyright protection system.
@@TheFuronMothership it's a shame because TH-cam really can't do anything about how shitty it is.
Every now and then I rewatch this series, brings back so many memories, of a simpler time, of the long-long ago.
Dave I must warn you, I played almost the exact same character as you a few months ago with completing the house Hlaalu quests in mind but was pretty disappointed. Other than one small collection of quests (that tbh won't even fit your character) hlaalu isn't too fun. You are used as an errand boy and nothing else.
I would strongly suggest Telvanni instead. Think about it. Already they are of the same mind set as you. Just as grumpy and cold. However your advantage is that instead of rising to power of the strongest of the three houses with force, you can introduce the Telvanni to your "democratic" imperial ways. A technique that will be much less effective to hlaalu anyway from all their dealings with the imperial colonists.
Hope you read this in time, only mention all this because if I remember rightly you never tried hlaalu.
The hype Is so real right now.
The Horn of Jingles SorcererDave shall sound in the deep... One last time. Let this be the hour when we watch Morrowind together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn! Forth, Eorlingles!
Thanks for making these! Started with Oblivion on the PC back in 2006 but this is a great way to see what all the fuss was about with Morrowind, thanks for reading the books out loud and giving a background to the storyline as well.
cool to see people still commenting on this after like 8 years
Crazy isn’t it?
I have to say I wasn't expecting subscribing to the maker of a video I was watching to tell if I wanted the game, but here I am!
Your evil sort of chuckle when you mentioned taking dead guys clothes was glorious :P
Good to see that almost a decade later Morrwind is still very much alive an kicking, not as much as Skyrim.. but it was at it's time a very niche game, but damn Vvardefell takes me back, was so young I had to ask my mum to go on the computer for an hour after I had done my homework haha :p
I hope the Sky-Wind project pulls through and is just as good as Morrowind, though I definitely do not miss the god damn Dice roll attacking of 100x misses to every single low damage hit :L
As someone whose first ES game was skyrim im not a fan of the dice system, but the weapon variety has me hooked.
Dave I am so glad you are doing this LP; Morrowind remains my favorite of the Elder Scrolls series for a number of reasons; the depth and complexity of it's writing and story, the harshness of it's game system (at first), and all the RPG "fiddly bits" that have been stripped out of later titles. I hope you do take a long time with this LP, and am looking forward to watching this LP play out-cheers!
can't believe this game came out 13 years ago...
I just turned 13
He has some crazy overhaul mods
jordan parks You were born on a great year,
When I was 13 it was Pong that was the same age. Now I feel old. :P
For a minute i thought you couldn't count but then i realised....i had actually got my age wrong.
OMG YES! Glad to see you finally do more videos of Morrowind!
Dave for the missing table go into your Morrowind folder and delete the Morrowind\Meshes\f\Furn_De_Table_03.NIF file.
For MGSO and Morrowind Rebirth to work together try to deactivate the some mods of MorrowindRebirth and MSGO.
I can confirm.
And it won't mess with the save.
Yes, this worked for me too and it's MGSO causing it.
I absolutely confirm, too, the trick to get rid of the annoying bug regarding the meshes but i was wondering exactly which mods one should disable from MGSO and the Rebirth to work together because...
Well it's kinda hard to work it out^^
I know the question it's a little bit hard, but if someone can answer to this difficult question I will be very grateful.
Many Thanks in advance!
I have just started playing morrowind with the mods dave has but when i start a new game i get missing meshes messages coming up Please help
And you are already aiding me with getting through the game. Actually writing a backstory first complete with a personality gives a focus and sense of direction, which is fortunate since it is very easy to get lost in this massive game.
"He's gonna climb his way up the greasy pole."
That sounds like an entertaining video, especially with friends
Coming right back around full circle after watching the series finale seven years later.
The most exciting part was when I scrolled down and realised 200,000 people have viewed this haha. Amazing
I agree
I got crappy laptop and trying to see if I want to put morrowind on it
+Miles Gregory I just might
I love that you put effort into the role playing part and gave your character a background story
YES!!!!!!!!!! I was gonna go to bed but... I have to watch this now!!!
And in perfect Dave tradition... 360p!!!!!!!!! Fucking TH-cam bullshit!
And 28 minutes later!!!! 1080p HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's surprisingly faster than usual!!!!!!
It takes time for the quality to render, dude. That's TH-cam, not Jingles/Dave/Whatever the fuck we call him now. Because I haven't watched his channel in 'bout a year.
Thefishoverlord I know man, I did kinda blame TH-cam for this... however after re-reading that comment I can definitely see how you would have some slight confusion.
Best lets play ever. Only ever gotten through volume 3 lol. There's so much to this game, especially with your amazing mod list. If you want a series to get hooked on, this is surprisingly it.
Oh I hope I can play this game one day, it seems so damn awesome.
This cropped up in my feed today. It's fascinating to think that Fathis' story has been going for five YEARS! That's some dedication both your part and the part of the viewers.
One of my favorite games of all time ! Love it
Brilliant to have you back Dave, I've just started playing Morrowind myself so I'm really excited about this lets play! Your vids convinced me to buy both Morrowind and Oblivion, I've played Skyrim for about a year now but I'm really enjoying the older games.
It took you 13 minutes to start. Dave, 13 minutes.
I'm watching this on the threateningly firm recommendation of a good friend of mine that's been watching SorcererDave's channel since before it was even named as such.
Since I'm more familiar with Dave's 2021-2022 work, the old voice caught me somewhat off-guard, but I'm getting somewhat used to it.
Looking forward to the glory that was foretold.
5:26 Skipperino at your service!
I just found your most recent oblivion playthrough and decided to check out your other stuff. Decided to watch in order if possible and enjoying this so far!
20:25 Tunnel snakes rule
And now Fathis returns to the world in Skyrim. So I'll watch this again while waiting for new episodes
Know this is an old video and you're unlikely to read this but I wanted to say thanks because I discovered Baldurs Gate through you. Glad I came.
Holy crap, Dave's voice changed since this started.
"Nothing lasts forever" except your Morrowind playthrough.
Honestly, any modded Morrowind installation (any modded game that's about 10 years old, really. God help my Baldur's Gate installation) is held together with prayers and duct tape. Nothing else can really be said. Love the game, love the commentary, and have been very much looking forward to this for a long time.
And it's here, and this is gonna be awesome.
5:00- WHAT. THE. F*CK.
William Edward God-dammit TH-cam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(and whoever the fuck that was who did that sneaky ass shit)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The test is like taking the G.O.A.T. Thanks SD glad you started this Let's Play!
Oh joy, can't wait to wait months on end for new episodes of this series...
In all seriousness, I'm fairly excited to see this. I can't play Morrowind personally, so watching it should be interesting.
Wow. This was a part of my childhood. I was 16 or so when I Jets discovered this. I'm about to turn 23 now. Freakin awesome! Amazing series
If you give Fargoth the ring you can get it back shortly via a quest which I believe the quest giver is in the second floor of the general store
It was the guy you said you didn't want to talk to
The Logical Choice That's correct
coming back to rewatch this all AGAIN. My favorite series of all time on youtube.
Finally
Seven years, Fathis. Guess it's time to begin again. Gotta re-experience the origin of the absolute LEGEND!!! Thanks again for the journey.
Love Morrowind. The first Elder Scrolls game I ever played. I was wondering if it would be able to run on my laptop. Probably not, but I am curious. Still have it for my XBox, so I can play it whenever I want, but cannot get the mods for it.
If it's a newer laptop you could probably run it. Get a physical copy though. The steam version is glitchy
Tony BearJug Compared to the physical copy, I had far less problems with the Steam edition.
Really? Weird. I had tons of problems with my steam copy
Problems like which?
It just doesn't run sometimes and it's pretty slow most of the time. It's probably just my pc
just came from the first bit of the 33rd episode "he'll be a magic & stealth kind of guy" which explains why he is running up to shit and stabbing it with a shortsword
Oh look! It's the only actual Elder scrolls game that is worth praise without mods. Glad to see your "coming soon" wasn't a lie this time and a hour long episode. :)
> says he's never even tried a sneaky character before > sneaking around is how I fell in love with Morrowind on my first playthrough
Damn you Copyright Issues
You deserve millions of subs I love your videos. They've kept me company while working from home lol.
Oh really? Was it a nice a nice little cutscene?
Tweakspirit it was wonderful
My fave let's play of all time. Time fore a rewatch, I think. :)
Ulven means "The wolf" in Swedish, just thought I should say we might be looking at a werewolf character=)
The character seems more like a reference to Francis Urquhart/ Frank Underwood then a wolf.
I named a dunmer character Ulven in Oblivion. It seems to be a very common name that pops up in TES name generators.
Dave said he plucked the name off of that Tamriel name generator site..
Ok fair enough. Just thought that the two had a similar backstory. Must have been a coincidence
Grebackissocool it's old Swedish indeed, but even in modern Swedish we still say var"ulven" (the werewolf).
I am so hyped for this! Dave you are literally the very best.
ok so the only elder scrolls game ive ever played is skyrim. So when you began the game it was pretty cool to see Jiub. I guess he wasn't lying after all when he said he was a hero in morrowind! Sad to see the old bastard ended up in the Soul Cairn all these years later lol, eventually he will meet Claudius eh?
Just starting this let's play for a second time now. It's one of my all time favorites and just really for comfort. It's funny though how your voice changed over the years. But still you can hear some familiar aspects in it. ^^
Happy to follow Fathis along for a second time. :>
Maybe its me but Juib sounds like he would make a great ghoul.
He actually voice all of the male ghouls
I'm pretty sure
Can't be to sure, but don't believe me 100%
I just think this, I read about it online, but I don't know if its all true
+Timothy Davis certainly sounds like one
Actually Mike Rosson voices nearly all the ghouls in Fallout 3. Jeff Baker, the man who voiced Jiub was also in Fallout but he voiced a plethora of characters, from paladins to Harkness, to scavengers. The only ghoul our dear Dunmer voiced, was Desmond Harper from Point Lookout! Some people are lore buffs, I happen to be a voice actor buff lol
I've never actually seen this LP or any Morrowind LP. I just finished your Skyrim let's play last night so I guess I'll watch this now.
An entire half of my map in oblivion turned into yellow exclamation marks.
lucky
filmer
It's angry wit u
damn it shagorath i thought we could finally start trusting you again but you had to make half of Cyrodiil uninhabitable didn't you
Camorune Gaming SHEOGORATH not shagorath
I have been waiting for this ever since I found your channel!
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
I especially love that FOV action that's going on.
Character creation is one of the best parts of RPGs. You create the character's looks, their personality, their backround, and you are the one who'll figure out how the person got to that starting position and what their motivation for the rest of the game will be. I don't even care if there are limited amount of options, I'm not trying to make them like myself (only casuals would do that). Give me something to start with and I'll work it out.
