You can be weak, unintelligent, and as slow as a sloth in molasses. But if you get popular enough, a more popular and much older celebrity will take interest in your talents. A tale as old as the television.
It would make a good short. “Can we do this?” A few seconds of silence with mechanical keyboard sounds, “no, but what if we made a slight modification? Watch the full video here!”
honestly I really dislike these jokes because they betray expectations in a negative way. if you name a video "can you beat X without jumping?" I expect you to go full ymfah, or else just name it "beating X with the fewest jumps"
I imagine training Blok from 0 to 1 to be like: "Okay, conceptualize the idea of intercepting an attack with a shield or weapon, honestly i feel bad about even taking money for this, so I´ll take nominal fee of 1 septim"

It always infuriated me that Skyrim required a perk to sell stolen spoons to any vendor. You’re telling me I need to get a perk to NOT randomly yell out “I STOLE THIS”? What happened to being a silent protagonist?
To be fair, half of the dragonborn's shtick is yelling one to three words at a time But instead of unlocking words with souls, you're using a skill point to concuss yourself out of that particular phrase
at least fallout 4 allows you to sell stolen weapons and a Fat Man and the vendors wouldn't give a fuck since y'know, they don't know and you never told them in the first place
How else could they make Thieves guild useful and interesting? Locking fencing behind a high skill wall and a perk, in a game where leveling up non-combat skills is extremely counterproductive unless you break it first. The problem is not that though. Oblivion had more restrictive fencing, but it also had best guild quests feeling better than the main quest, making it feel like you completely miss out if you don't join.
41:07 This is called being "digitigrade"! All birds and many mammals are digitigrade - you'll notice that dogs and cats have this same structure but less dramatic than most birds. It's generally faster than the alternative (plantigrade, where your heels touch the ground). I think birds are just kinda stuck that way evolutionarily, even if they don't run anymore because it evolved a long time ago in the theropod dinosaurs that they evolved from. Most lizards, however, are plantigrade so it probably makes more sense for argonians to have flat feet, and more for khajiit to have the "backwards knees" like they also do in Morrowind.
It's so funny looking at an elephant's skeleton. These hulking behemoths are tiptoeing across the savannah. They just have really fat feet. My personal theory is the Hist mutated the pre-argonian lizards to look a bit like Khajiit so they'd fit in with the other races of Tamriel. If they looked to human, it'd be uncanny, so they used the most humanoid beastfolk as reference. That's why female argonians have breasts. Why'd they pick Suthay-Raht over Ohmes? I dunno.
@@JustBackgroundNoise I think that might actually have been canon at one point. In ESO it's mentioned how the Hist sort of made them servile to help spread them across Nirn as servants and slaves to gather information and send it back to the trees. But while the khajit eventually got an in-lore explaination for the devs not wanting to use that model anymore, I don't think the argonians ever did beyond handwaving it as the Hist being able to mold them as it wishes.
@@JarethS The Hist is like a Spore player. "Aw heck, this new look is now trending among successful species? Back to the character editor with you. No, I'm still keeping the breasts."
isnt there another one very hidden in Urshilaku Burial Cavern like in the room that connects to several burial caverns, tucked high up in a small hiding hole that you can only access through Levitation
These videos are great to watch before bed and during a meal, and then the livestreams are perfect background noise while I play games. Keep up the awesome content!
starting the video i was excited, when he got to the ad, i realized i had been called out. When he showed off the tree of light shirt i walked over to my dresser and looked in my shirts, saw the same one, and realized, i am the key demo. Mainline the ads right into my veins.
Drakes, Septims, and gold are the same thing. The Imperial gold coin has a dragon emblem on one side (the drake) and a portrait of the emperor on the other side (the Septim).
"That's a weird ass fish" Ok brain, time to guess what's underwater in the moment before I glance over to my other monitor. Sure wasn't expecting to see one of those waddling away.
9:55 I'm so glad that clip played out as it did. The montage was hilarious, with the final clip being a full shot of the jump and landing, all I could think was "It would be SO funny if he died in this clip, then cuts to one where it worked" and I was dying as soon as it happened.
I don't know how you mastered the art of "background noise" but your channel is a masterclass on engaging background noise. This is the kind of stuff I can listen to, think about, and doze to sleep to. You can both keep my mind engaged, and let my brain rest. Sometimes simultaneously. I love this channel. Also you have a nice voice.
The bitter cup heist was such a nail biter :D This kinda fiddling because the challenge is so hard is so much fun to play/watch. Challenges make you interact the game in new way and thats whats so fun about them.
Yknow I really appreciate your add skits. Your style of humor is one-of-a-kind and you always manage to make me smile & giggle. Loving the content, as always!
@19:00 Hitting the 6th house bells is just... perfect. You truly are a Morrowind Master, and considering it's one of my favorite games of all time, this moment pleased me more than any other.

Im fairly sure only three are correct in that sentence All the preparations he had (next word is past tense) had (owned or controlled) had (created/caused) no effect. I’m not sure what the fourth one could be adding but I’m also unsure if it’s adding nothing to the sentence.
@@techpriestsalok8119Some weirdo will come soon And give an example I Had had the same idea , but people tend to prove you wrong on the internet if you say something too definitive.
This was genuinely your best video yet. Weirdly enough It reminded me of Castlevania symphony of the night. (Completely off topic I know) But that game gives you the ability to start a new game+ with low stats besides luck. That made me realize my favorite type of challenge runs are the it's difficult, not impossible types. (Like dark souls) And I think this is a perfect example.
Everytime I think I have a handle on the childhood game that I fell in love with after the opening cinematic, I learn about a whole new game mechanic! WTH is reputation!!!!
I like the jokes you make in the livestreams, thanks for including them. I appreciate how you fold in so many other things to show us besides the title -- a tour through the entire reputation system, meeting an Ogrim, bonebending theories.
This was like watching an anime of a dude that starts out a zero and trains and overcomes obstacles and trials as various story threads unfold across numerous story arcs.
Thanks for making these vids. Not only did you interest me enough to buy Morrowind (which I absolutely love) but now I get to learn stuff watching you play. I'm at the 3rd trial deal in becoming the Nerevarine. Great videos my man!
this was not just a challenge run this was art on top, worthy of preservation so that the generations that will be can come and listen to you talk and play this game. bravo, bravo maestro!
You are definitely one of my favorite creators. Unlike most, I don't skip your ad reads as they are creative and funny. I am a long time Morrowind fan and have been playing it since the game released. Still, I find that I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for everything and take care.
i like to watch your morrowind challenge videos a lot because despite trying to play morrowind at least 5 times i am unable to get past the first city, not because I lose interest, but I am just very bad at the game. I remain an oblivion truther due to this, and live vicariously through you.
God this is so satisfying I love how well he planned it out, as much as I loved making my gameplays hardcore I never could have planned this out so far ahead while being cognizant of what would screw me up
Fun fact: unlike all later Bethesda titles, in Morrowind you can train sneak without moving. Set something heavy on the sneak key, and come back later to a maxed out sneak skill.

You have become one of my favorite content creators ever since I discovered your channel. Just wanted to throw that positive affirmation your way. Thanks for all the entertainment!
Always love these little bits of random trivia and silly moments between sections, be it being denied rest seconds before getting knocked out, many attempted long jumps, or checking out pink birb skeleton with your chat on stream. Should definitely try catching one of those some day ^v^
Just wanted to note as I dig into another one of your videos, recently found your channel and am just devouring through backlogs of Elder Scrolls stuff. Such good run concepts. Thanks for doing your thing!
I think I commented this a year or two ago, but you're making me want to play again, lol. Just the sounds alone, draw me back in. I played this on release and it's like slipping into your favorite pair of old shoes. Thanks again for all the videos!!
-"Master, I found the Staff of Magnus in our storeroom, don't you think that there's a more proper place to hide such a powerful artefact?" -*mumbling* -"I will do as you say, and shove it up the cave system of Assu, that's a splendid idea, Master" -"Well, that works too"
i cannot express in words how perfect of a blend of many different dare I say attributes your Morrowind content has for me. If I were to describe how it feels one word comes to mind and it's therapy. It's soothing whacky and geniuanly interesting at the same time. A word of advice from someone who doesn't know shit tho. Once you run out of ideas for Morrowind don't be discouraged. Branch out. I''ll be here for it and I'm sure it's the same for many others.
I think the most impressive display of deep game knowledge here was you losing the Chimarvamidium and then following the breadcrumbs of petty crime and civil asset forfeiture to find it in an evidence locker several towns away from where you were originally "incarcerated" i would have probably just ended the run
2:10 i didn't know that but honestly its really cool. Imagine how awesome it would be for a first time player who somehow bricked the main quest to get to thst point.
This reminds me of the latest time I did the bloodbath quest. I had just finished killing most of them in the main room in front of the bar, and it was a difficult fight for my low level character. I felt like I just got finished with an epic battle. Several bodies littered the floor, and I looked over at the bartender, who then cheerfully said "Tell your friends about this place!" It was the funniest thing I've ever seen in Morrowind.
Neat run, interesting to see the backup backup used of just doing lots of side quests and becoming famous so vivec gets bored and goes 'let's move this along please' by directly inviting you in
Hey I really enjoy your videos and I often fall asleep to them (in a good way) I usually end up watching them over a few days so I really appreciate you adding the video chapters
32:07 Fun fact, the 'Smith' of Vvardenfell (excluding Great House names, which are very common in ESO with Hlaalu alone having 31) is Sadri, with 20 total across all games. In Morrowind specifically, it's Andrano with 13. Sadri is interesting because it's a Dunmeris word we actually have a translation for - mushroom (from Sadrith Mora, 'Mushroom Forest'). Is it possible that mushroom farmers were a common enough occupation for the name to have spread? Is it a Telvanni thing? Do Telvanni just fuck like champions? We may never know.
Imagine being obsessed with a land you've never seen, a language you've never spoken, a people you've never met, and *knowing* you must go there. You find yourself on their shores and it's like you've been born anew; You've lost everything, you're week and feeble, but you must go on. Despite everything stacked against you, you are embraced by Vvardenfell because you are it's true hero, you are the Nerevarine. I want to joke about this guy being a dark-elf-weeb, but if you look at this as an actual story instead of a challenge video this is *awesome*.
I just realized when you compare the different protagonists of the Elder Scrolls games the Nerevarine is terrifying. Just going about your day and watch the ground shatter around this guys feet as he launches into the air where he’s basically unlocked the ability to fly.

Always love these little bits of random trivia and silly moments between sections, be it being denied rest seconds before getting knocked out, many attempted long jumps, or checking out pink birb skeleton with your chat on stream. Should definitely try catching one of those some day ^v^
Wow, that's quite a journey! Great video and thanks for bringing us along with you.
Hey dude, love your videos :) you’ve gotten me invested in Morrowind, always a highlight of the week when you upload
Just wanted to note as I dig into another one of your videos, recently found your channel and am just devouring through backlogs of Elder Scrolls stuff. Such good run concepts. Thanks for doing your thing!
I think I commented this a year or two ago, but you're making me want to play again, lol. Just the sounds alone, draw me back in. I played this on release and it's like slipping into your favorite pair of old shoes. Thanks again for all the videos!!
-"Master, I found the Staff of Magnus in our storeroom, don't you think that there's a more proper place to hide such a powerful artefact?"
-*mumbling*
-"I will do as you say, and shove it up the cave system of Assu, that's a splendid idea, Master"
-"Well, that works too"
This was one of your best so far. I really enjoyed that whole journey from a literal absolute nothing to a god-killer.
i cannot express in words how perfect of a blend of many different dare I say attributes your Morrowind content has for me. If I were to describe how it feels one word comes to mind and it's therapy. It's soothing whacky and geniuanly interesting at the same time. A word of advice from someone who doesn't know shit tho. Once you run out of ideas for Morrowind don't be discouraged. Branch out. I''ll be here for it and I'm sure it's the same for many others.
I think the most impressive display of deep game knowledge here was you losing the Chimarvamidium and then following the breadcrumbs of petty crime and civil asset forfeiture to find it in an evidence locker several towns away from where you were originally "incarcerated"
i would have probably just ended the run
I don't know why TH-cam waited so long before showing me your channel but I'm super glad it finally did. Quite obviously, I belong here.
2:10 i didn't know that but honestly its really cool. Imagine how awesome it would be for a first time player who somehow bricked the main quest to get to thst point.
Vivec: "hey I think this really popular guy might be our prophesized hero"
You: leaves and kills the usurper god in less than a day
Always great to sit back, relax, and watch another Just Background Noise video
This reminds me of the latest time I did the bloodbath quest. I had just finished killing most of them in the main room in front of the bar, and it was a difficult fight for my low level character. I felt like I just got finished with an epic battle. Several bodies littered the floor, and I looked over at the bartender, who then cheerfully said "Tell your friends about this place!" It was the funniest thing I've ever seen in Morrowind.
This video is extra potent, I've already fallen asleep 2 times and I'm not even half way through the video.
The little story at the start was a nice touch and quite cute
Neat run, interesting to see the backup backup used of just doing lots of side quests and becoming famous so vivec gets bored and goes 'let's move this along please' by directly inviting you in
Hey I really enjoy your videos and I often fall asleep to them (in a good way) I usually end up watching them over a few days so I really appreciate you adding the video chapters
The incredible SALT of editing that portal in there, absolutely tasty. Well-seasoned. Retains water
32:07 Fun fact, the 'Smith' of Vvardenfell (excluding Great House names, which are very common in ESO with Hlaalu alone having 31) is Sadri, with 20 total across all games. In Morrowind specifically, it's Andrano with 13.
Sadri is interesting because it's a Dunmeris word we actually have a translation for - mushroom (from Sadrith Mora, 'Mushroom Forest'). Is it possible that mushroom farmers were a common enough occupation for the name to have spread? Is it a Telvanni thing? Do Telvanni just fuck like champions? We may never know.
Imagine being obsessed with a land you've never seen, a language you've never spoken, a people you've never met, and *knowing* you must go there. You find yourself on their shores and it's like you've been born anew; You've lost everything, you're week and feeble, but you must go on. Despite everything stacked against you, you are embraced by Vvardenfell because you are it's true hero, you are the Nerevarine.
I want to joke about this guy being a dark-elf-weeb, but if you look at this as an actual story instead of a challenge video this is *awesome*.
I just realized when you compare the different protagonists of the Elder Scrolls games the Nerevarine is terrifying. Just going about your day and watch the ground shatter around this guys feet as he launches into the air where he’s basically unlocked the ability to fly.
Love the addition of more livestream clips, honestly all of your footage (scripted or not) is super entertaining
Edit: mrw no bonebiter bow rap section 😢
Always look forward to the narratively spurious clone scene. Best way to do an ad hands down!
I love this revival of Morrowind content.
Each Morrowind video of yours is like the unexpected, yet very pleasant christmas gift. Keep it coming please :D
