The Godhead would wake up with one serious headache. Or maybe they'd spontaneously shatter, mind over matter and all that.

Hey hey JBN! A friend of mine recently shaved all his hair off because he also has alopecia and has been struggling for quite a while with that decision. He's been staying a lot at home and sheltered himself from our D&D group because he was embarrassed about having gone bald at 23. I've introduced him to your channel a while ago and when we were watching some of your ad reads he became noticeably more confident in himself. Didn't figure someone would be so confident about their alopecia and it made him feel a bit more comfortable with his decision to shave all his hair. Just wanted to say thanks on behalf of Daan and keep on keeping on! Even though you're 'Just Background Noise', to him you're an inspiration! P.S. sorry if my grammar sucks, English is my sixth language!

People say i don't have an accent when speaking but idk about that.

breaking morrowind with enchanting? you mean the morrowind equivalent of becoming a stealth archer? true carcinization of playstiles. i always call my health absorbing weapons some variety of The Throngler.
First time I ever really 'broke' Morrowind was with constant effect chameleon enchantments. At 100% enemies won't even try to fight you, they just run around in terror after getting hit. Mildly disappointed it didn't feature here but maybe in a future video.
It was pretty stupid before they updated the game to fix the constant effect enchantments without consuming a grand soul gem glitch. So many enchantments that just so happen to fit in a petty soul while still being constant.
POV of Baralzar the witch who starts her monologue and then seeing a magic man scraping the roof with his head shooting magic nukes at her must've been scary.
"You think you could do this with alchemy? Probably." I don't know why, but I found that line to be comedy gold. I think you just have good delivery with your jokes.
As a writer I have a deep appreciation for his script writing setting these up and then his delivery knocking them down. Script or not, his sentence flow is fantastic.
I sincerely appreciate how you manage to keep the classic landscape of Morrowind alive and refreshing, and the commentary itself reminds me of an experienced walkthrough or guide :)
I actually stumbled into almost this exact setup by accident, including the 1 second levitate + as much speed as possible for travel. I wasn't speedrunning, I just got tired of attacks with failure chances and decided to make a rocket launcher.
I genuinely consider this playing Morrowind as intended. This, stacking fortify intelligence potions for alchemy, summoning a ghost to recharge magicka as an atronach, etc
No lie, as a Morrowind fanboy these videos are literally the best. I'm a huge fan, and I hope that I get to see more soon! I think killing every god (Almsivi, Dagoth Ur and the luck-elf from Mournhold) only using skeletons would a god-tier video. Showcase the old "soul-trap permanent summon" glitch and rule the world with your skeleton army. Would donate for that tbh lol
I honestly thought that it was a reupload of the older JBN vid about breaking morrowind with alchemy. Glad it wasn't though, as it means more content from a favourite chanel
I remember you mentioned a default spells only run a while back and it is definitely an interesting challenge idea considering how often spellmaking comes up in most of these runs
Even most of the NPC mages use custom spells you can't buy off the shelf it feels like, so you wouldn't necessarily be on level ground to them like in Oblivion.
In the end the absort health the deals 2 to 52 damage is probably one of the best. Or play a nord that only uses ice spell, can be refleced but you will take no damage
Hey JBN, your videos have been carrying me through tonight (July 4th) because fireworks stress me out. So I wanted to say thank you for uploading amazing and bingeable content. Keep up the great work!
12:35 adding multiple enchant effects in different orders will result in different total costs. I haven't done much extensive testing on this but from what I gather each effect's cost seems to be determined by the school of magic of the preceding effect. It might even be on a per-spell basis rather than school of magic, I haven't bothered testing enough to tell. For example a test I just did shows that applying "restore health 100 pts for 1 sec" followed by "poison 100 pts for 1 sec" has an enchant point cost of 95, while applying the same effects in opposite order results in a cost of 115, so my takeaway in general is that restoration spells should go before destruction spells. It might be worth testing this in-depth if ever you revisit this topic, or maybe there is some documentation on this already but I cba to do my research lol
the spells earlier in the list have a cost multiplier applied, so cheap effects should go first. poison has a base cost of 9, restore health has a base cost of 5.
This has fast become part of my weekly routine. Gotta love your comfy Morrowind blankets! P.S.: ooh, one little point of feedback: you might want to use a stereo audio track for your music. Sounds like it's all mono right now.
So, I recommend doing the soul gem selling loop. What you do is buy soul gems from a merchant in tel mythral I believe its on of the telvanni settlements you can take a boat there. Then you cast a conjuration spell with a common soul which ancestral guardian works well for. Then once soul trapped to sell the soul gems to our friend Creeper in the orc house. Rince and repeat the process to get thousands of gold in a very short time.
My first enchantment was a ring that gave me a full set of summoned daedric armor and a weapon. My second was a set of gear for 100% chameleon that’s when I discovered I could talk to 6th house monsters and spent too long trying to talk to every npc on the map
Been watching your Morrowind videos for a bit and that licking lips animation finally convinced me to sub keep up the good content man I love your vibes and can't wait to see what you do next
This is how I played the game, I always like being a trader/skills person in MMO's even if it's an afterthought in the game, so it kind of felt like what an OP craftsman would be to create/use god tier enchants as a source of power.
Working as intended, that’s just the beauty of Morrowind. You can be whatever you want and your imagination was the only limit. Pre-youtube era you had to come up with game-breaking stuff on your own so it all felt valid and fair solutions.
Wow, I broke Morrowind a bunch of times and I used constant duration Enchantments every playthrough, but I didn't know about that formula and how you just could spam balls of death like they were nothing. Fascinating Video.

Splendid, I asked and I received, right in time for lunch too, you are easily my favorite morrowind youtuber and are overall really enjoying to watch, thank you.
I’m sure this story isnt true but I remember some green text talking about how OP enchanting was in Morrowind and it ended w the player getting one big hit on the big bad their juiced up mace and the damage was so high it caused the game to crash.
Paper enchants VERY WELL in this game. I try to find every scrap of it I can. A custom mod makes the paper not go away when you use it, so it is a work around for making custom rechargeable scrolls.
The boots of blinding speed make me wonder - if you throw negative effects on items does it lower the overall enchamt cost? With 100% magic resist, can you push that to infinity? I have to assume no since that would probably be plastered to the front page on enchanting... Would have been pretty sweet though.
I didn't realise I missed this one, watching it now - *gods* I love how hard you can break Morrowind 🤣 I always liked enchanting an Ebony Staff with +100% Weakness to Fire 2s in 50 feet and ~75 Fire damage for 2s in 50 feet. *That* felt broken (when it didn't reflect on me). And this is an entirely higher tier...
I dont know if its been patched but you used to be able to permanently fortify your attributes and skills by creating a spell with fortify skill or attribute for 1 second and cast soul trap for 2 seconds. you would cast it on your feet and it would increase the skill or attribute permanently.
Im my first (my current) morrowind run, i love to get around with the jump spell. I have enchants wit 33/ 75/100 jump (i think) its great, you should try it
Slowfall is pretty useful too. You can put it on a cheap ring with a cheap soulgem and make it 1 point for 1 second and it will never run out of charge.
