lol
I have to ask, do you know the different kinds of Khajiit?
@@darkbrotherhoodassassin7642 I don’t, no. I read on the UESP about Arena Kajhiit just to see what was up, but I don’t know the different kinds.
they are tall af in eso, my maximum height wood elf barely reaches their crotches
@@saltyshrimppasta not the person you responded to, but I’ll say it’s an interesting read... their sub race is tied to the lunar cycle
That woman in Whiterun wanting Morrowind to burn. It is nice to know that some things never change.
Yeah I guess she doesn't even get to the Cloud Disctrict often.

she didnt want whiterun to burn she basically just said "theres covid in morrowind but i dont care tbh"
"I just wanna see Whiterun in daylight" - leaves the inn 8 hours later to the densest fog known to human kind.
it's like a wish granted from a shitty genie.
Turns out it is the cloudy district.
@@JonatasAdoM Do you get to the cloudy district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't.
@@JonatasAdoM ooo I
Climates of Tamriel working as intended.
Old Ebonheart is on mainland Morrowind like it’s shown here. It’s in ESO as a fairly major city. ESO explains TESIII Ebonheart as “Vivec saw old Ebonheart and said ‘I want one’ so they made one on Vvardenfell”
Wait, I thought Ebonheart was the base of operations of the Legion forces in Vvardenfell.
@@Green-Raccoon777 it is! Vivec made plans to have his own Ebonheart on Vvardenfell after seeing Old Ebonheart, but nothing really came of the idea besides basic planning until Vvardenfell was opened up for settlers and the Imperials & Vivec agreed to build a castle town and name it Ebonheart.
Basically a retcon but that’s the story
old ebonheart was destroyed in battle so vivec wanted to rebuild it on vvardenfell and so the imperials did it
So its like york and new york basicaly
I love how the only reason Ohmes and Ohmes-Raht Khajiit exist is so Mike Kirkbride could explain the Arena/Daggerfall 'Khajiits' lmaooo
And honestly, I'm going to just say that I'm glad it happened that way. Who knows, if the Khajiit had been cat folks the entire time, we might not have any of the furstocks!
I still like the lore around the 2 moons and the hundreds of different khajiit breeds. Like... imagine being born as a senche
@@stratospherica Aparantly Senche are down to be Ridden so that's a thing, I both really want, and am terrified of an Elsewhere based Elder Sxrolls, having Talking Tiger Steeds, and Talking Housecats just being a thing, and then also being humans with a tail seemse kinda horrifying
@@rescuerex7031 I think Alfiq can understand the common tongue but can't speak it, and Ohmes don't really have tails. Still would be weird, yeah xd can't ppl go to Elsweyr in ESO?
@@sorchatheraven yeah although I don't know what furstock show up, but no Alfiq can understand and speak perfect common tongue, they just don't because they always get mistaken for house cats which is why they don't leave Elsweyr often, because everyone treats them like babies except other Khajiit
I'm putting "Basement Legend" on my resume
Please make more memes
@Finnegan Ezequiel Interesting, Finnegan.

Khajiits didnt became cat people until Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard :) In Daggerfall they got tails and were said to be only descended from catfolk but it was retconned to them being a another form of khajiit (Ohmes-Raht)
double fun fact: the ones in arena looking mostly like an elf is called Ohmes
Triple fun fact: There are literal talking housecat Khajiit that can shoot magic. The subspecies is called Alfiq. Yes this is real lore.

It's pretty amazing how much and how little the ES games have actually changed over the years.
it just works
Arena is by fat the best, followed by Daggerfall. Morrowind started a massive downward spiral which has culminated into the atrocious Skyrim.
@@DoctorChained okay dud
@@justantonio9999 if you don't think arena and dagger fall are the best then you're not a real fan
@@DoctorChained I think the best Elder Scrolls game was by far the DND campaign the staff at Bethesda were playing before developing Arena. Arena started a massive downward spiral which culminated into your atrocious hipster comment.
Believe it or not, you would want to equip that amulet. The lower the numbers are around your character, the better. They show the damage taken if you get hit.
thats the stupidest way they could show it, what if you have negative numbers? you get hit and gain health?
@@krzysiusisiu I'm not entirely sure, but I know you don't gain health. Lower numbers mean u take less damage and negative numbers lower your chance to get I believe.
@Sushiirull I know it was a joke
Chance to be hit not damage taken. The first 3 games used dice rolls. They used negative numbers as the early TES games were using the combat system of 2nd Edition D&D which used THAC0 to calculate hit chances. It's why raising agility also increased your hit chance and lowered your chance to be hit as it gave a dodge bonus.
As to how THAC0 works, say you are rolling a 20 sided dice and you need to roll a 16 to hit your enemy. The enemy has +3 armor. Then you would go 16 - (+3) = 13, so you would need to roll a 13 or higher on the dice to land a hit. No say your enemy had -4 armor like in Arena. The calculation would be 16 - (-4) = 20. So you would need to roll a 20 on the dice to secure hit. That's damn near impossible without using buffs from spells or magic items like a +1 sword.
@@shinon748 goddamn nerds with their math
I love that Arena and Daggerfall are just ridiculously enormous. Arena for example is still one of the largest game worlds ever created. You can traverse Tamriel nearly in its entirety. The only game worlds that are bigger are space sims that generate whole galaxies.
Technically it’s not actually the largest map, gameplay wise. The reason is that it’s entirely randomized. And you can’t actually walk from one town to another. It’s technically infinite but practically the actual premade map is very small. I think dagger fall is the actual biggest elder scrolls game, although I haven’t confirmed myself.
Arena is the largest ES game ever created and it's not even close. 9,656,064 km to DaggerFalls 161,600 kilometers.@@harmonicaman4782
@@harmonicaman4782 iirc daggerfall is also pretty much entirely randomized, the main difference between arena and daggerfall is that arena is bugged so you can never walk between areas so there's no way to actually show the scope, I think if that's fixed it's actually better

"They've stuck to this map very well!"
While pointing to the jungle that was the imperial province
Wasn't a jungle at this point. Tiber Septim cleared the jungle. This game is only like 15 years or so before the events of Oblivion. Same Emperor as well.
@@shinon748 The changes Talos made didn't appear in game until oblivion. But when the Retcon happened, it was one of those "it was always that way" things.
There's even in universe disputes between scholars over whether or not the imperial province was ever a jungle to begin with.
@@greenshadow131 I mean I'm I the camp it probably wasn't and it was just an early concept they had in mind. Cyrodiil is in the middle of the continent and just a bit north of the equator right? Giving it a fertile valley look for most of it makes sense. It has a Mediterranean type geography which matches the foods and cultures known to be from Cyrodiil. The Imperials were always fantasy Romans in style do Cyrodiil being sort of a fantasy Italy fits better imo.
@@shinon748 it's literally in canon in game maps and multiple historians talk about it.
@@greenshadow131 oh I know I've a read an in game book that references "The Jungles of Cyrodiil". But like I said it was most likely their first concept for the province then they changed their minds when they started work on Oblivion. This happens a lot with world building you have ideas for locales but really it's not until you sit down and work in depth with a region in a fantasy world do you come up with its final identity.
The problem wasn't that that occurred when they sat down and worked on Cyrodiil as the setting for Oblivion. The problem was they didn't do that in depth world building for it earlier in the series. Let's be honest before TES 3 Morrowind lore wise was pretty bland. Then they crafted the beautiful lore the Dunmer have with the Tribunal and Nerevar for TES 3. So Morrowind got that in depth treatment for Tes 3 that Cyrodiil got for TES 4. Just that Cyrodiil got a much more drastic make over than Morrowind.
11:46 there's actually canonically two Ebonhearts; the lore reasoning is essentially vivec going "Oh hey, this place is cool! Archcanon! Have another one made, but cooler, and on Vvardenfell!"
Going by Tamriel Rebuilt, the Vvardenfell Ebonheart was built as an expansion of Old Ebonheart at the Mainland's coast. The Armistice legally prevented the Empire to found new settlements on Vvardenfell, but they kind of got around that by declaring it an expansion of an existing settlement.
After that, they went on to found new settlements on Vvardenfell because they got away clean the first time.😅
On Moving Ebonheart by Archcanon Tarvus is the book, if anyone is curious.
@@yumameda Thanks for the source & the short read!
@Nagger So do I. 😅 Doesn't seem like something Lord Vivec would do.
If it was his idea in the first place, then why is Ebonheart only in Imperial hands, with Diplomacy and administration, and there's pretty much no Dunmer presence there at all? Not even a single shrine?
It doesn't make sense at all, so I for one prefer the "non-canonical" lore solution here. ;)
Thinking that all these places' names and the shape of Tamriel were made back then and haven't changed since then, seems pretty weird... I am proud of the franchise.
Even the general locations are the same, even if they took some liberties with the Morrowind/Vvardenfell area
in both arena and oblivion you start out in the imperial city prison the only difference is in arena the gate from the prison leads directly to the sewers while in oblivion you go through some ayleid ruins before going down into the sewers
Fun fact: in the original version of the game, you had to enter the spell cost of a random spell in order to leave the starting dungeon.
That was an anti=piracy measure, if you got the game legit you would get the manual with the info.
@@Mateumt yup 😊
the khajiits n this game are the " Ohmes " type of khajiit , they look similar to Bosmer and usually paint their faces to show that they are khajiit
If I were a cyborg from the future it would be difficult to distinguish them from the elves
@@soulsmith4787 Pelinal is innocent . =
Something i wish people would do for Daggerfall Unity is mod in body and head portraits for the khajit that match their depiction in Morrowind onward. That way, players have even more options for creating characters, and it would still be lore-friendly.
It's not even that hard to replace or inject textures into Daggerfall Unity, all we really need is just a good sprite artist that can mimic the art style in the game.
I saw a picture once of all the different kinds of khajits some being real animals and not humanoid
Does anyone know where I could find the lore on them? In game books or wiki pages? I hadn’t heard of them in the game lore at all
@@Guitar-Dog Check the wikis online. Have pretty good descriptions and some photos. I think in game lore is little and far between. ESO and the Legends game have some more art and descriptions about them
Micky seems to think his viewers wont notice that he uploaded something that isnt Morrowind if he just travels to morrowind in arena :^)
The very first time I played Arena I went through all the trouble of getting through the first dungeon and then I couldn't answer the stupid question to leave because it was a used copy and I didn't have the manual or the internet lol.
DRM has always been cancer.
@@TheScienceguy77
I feel like the devs are saying the same about the pirates stealing their games and making them put DRM in. lol xD
The Khajit model takes cat burglar to a whole new level
Micky, the numbers on the inventory screen are how much bonus damage enemies get against your body parts. You'll want the lowest numbers possible. Also you can right click items in your inventory for information. And light blue items are enchanted, you can take them to the mages' guild to get identified. Don't bother identifying amulets or rings that give armor, it's obvious what they can do.
I actually think Arena is a really fun dungeon crawler with features that would be greatly expanded upon by later games. As with most old RPGs from the era, don't let the learning curve catch you off guard and just take your time; you might find something you like!
i almost quit like 3 times but now im after the fourth piece and really enjoying it
I quit the first time because of a game-breaking glitch. I’m getting to that point and if it happens again, I now have passwall.
The "Khajiits" in Elder Scrolls 1 are known as Ohmes Khajiit, the only time you ever see them which is bizarre. (might be wrong tho in where else they appear)
ESO probs
Nah in daggerfall there's the Ohmes-raht
Yeah they're elves like/humans like khajiits
Michael D. plays a game that can be described as "swinging a blade at rats while looking at visuals that resemble pixelated oatmeal"

Indeed to legendary true
In the case of ebonheart I find it funny, that they retconned the positionproblem in eso, that vivec one saw ebonheart on the mainland and thought: „this is nice, build me one directly south of my city“
The thing I love- Zenimax has a better eye for lore and detail than Bethesda ever did. lol
Fun trivia. This game was originally supposed to be an arena type game where you battle in a coliseum. Then they changed it to this, and kept the name, instead saying the world is so dangerous, it's "like an arena."
After all these years I still love this game though. It's also fairly easy to break using crazy builds. Haha.
I like how our basement status improves with every video
"That's Patrick Stewart" *shows Ian McKellen*
Good shit
Not sure if it's still considered canon, but the Khajiit have several different types, from your typical house cat to the humanoid types.
They only _appear_ to be typical housecats, but are extremely intelligent and very offended by people who think they're typical housecats
Anything in a first game MUST be canon, its the first game. Retcons, are not canon, they are lazy halfassedness.
If I remember correctly I think the type of khajiit is based off what moon phase they were born in and not genetics
@@eclipsegst9419 Yeah cause I'm sure you're some great writer who knows better than everybody else
I know it’s more of an optic illusion but the low ceilings in any indoor area makes it feel super claustrophobic. Aside from that, the game is surprisingly pleasing to the eye for its age. I didn’t even know Arena could still be played. 😳 Thanks for sharing Micky.
Believe it or not there are even better looking games from that era of DOS that still look gorgeous today. Lands of Lore, Doom 1/2, Descent, and System Shock were all released around that time for DOS computers.
@@matternicuss - Thank you for the reminder. I remember Doom and System Shock but I haven’t played them since their release. I wonder how it would feel to play them now after all these years. 🤔
@@keiyangoshin3650 Doom is timeless so it's a good time no matter what the current year is.
System Shock is definitely a lot harder to get into as it's way more complex and demanding, but I actually played it for the first time last year and loved it.
7:50 Arena's actually bigger than daggerfall, it's literally infinite size. It's physically impossible to walk from city to city new terrain is just generated procedurally.
i tried walking for an hour before i realised and i felt like a such an idiot

@@HelghastStalker I know it was a half-joke, shoulda specified, sorry.
Now I wanna see a video of someone traveling to the Arena Farlands, starting from Whiterun
@@bubbsterr4967 late but arena kinda has this, if you walk far enough in the wilderness the terrain will start looping, if you then enter and leave a building you'll be transported to a glitchy landscape which somehow, unlike punching doors or talking to npcs too often, does not crash the game
When Daggerfall doesn't raise your blood pressure enough
That is a Khajiit
Basically these Khajiit are more like people with some features of cats
Later, they decided to retcon this by saying "oh actually Khajiit come in many forms, some of which look way more Elven than feline"
They actually made some interesting lore behind it. Basically the phase taht Masser and Secunda are in at any one Khajiit's birth determines what they look like
I believe Masser's aspect determines how upright they are
Full - Large Quadruped
Waxing - Large Biped
New - Small Biped
Waning - Small Quadruped
Secunda determines how animalistic they are. This is more simple. If it's waxing, they appear less bestial, if waning, more bestial
So Arena's Khajiit were those born during a waxing aspect of Secunda, where Masser was New. Masser Waxing has no human like anything, they are all very feline.
This means they are either Ohmes, or Ohmes-Raht. Likely Ohmes. They look similar to bosmer but shorter. Masser is New, Secunda is Full. For the Ohmes-Raht Secunda is waxing. This gives them some golden fur and a tail, and they're tall as men.
Furthermore, the ones seen in Skyrim and Cyrodil are confirmed to mostly be Cathay, Waxing Masser with Full Secunda. This makes them the least bestial, which is why they are so upright compared to other games, and speak very humanly, despite being feline
The ones in Morrowind are Suthay-Raht. These are small bipeds, same Masser aspect as the Ohmes, expect Secunda is Waning. They have long tales and digitigrade legs, with high set cat ears and feline facial features. They are more bestial than the ones from Cyrodil, but also weaker and smaller
Thats everything I got from the wiki, have fun with that explanation of why Arena has Khajit like that
Oh one more thing. There are giant talking cats that humanoid khajit like Cathay apparently ride into battle. This may or may not be voluntary
I might be a little rusty on my lore but I don't remember Elsweyr being accessible via Gringotts.
The fact that the map and locations were almost completely unchanged is really cool.
Except for things like Cyrodil originally having been a jungle
Funny enough that is cannon
When Talos ascended to Godhood he changed reality, so that Cyrodiil was plains and forests now instead
Ah, the old days in the Elder Scrolls series, when the Reach actually looked like a stretch of land worth fighting for, instead of being more craggy and mountainous than the Himalayas.
you're that Arena fan from Micky's meme, breaking a sweat trying to vigorously explain why it's somehow the best in the series
@@nftscreenshotter6436 He's got a point though, between the craggy hills and the murderous tribe of pagan Bretons, why would ANYONE wanna live in The Reach? I get there's ore there to make steel but it doesn't seem to be worth it.
@@risso2309 Good point. I imagine that it would be much easier to trade the steel, gold and silver in for weapons, food and commodities instead of having to fight local independence fighters, armed insurrections and terrorists... Guess the empire doesn't like unoccupied spots on the map.

According to wikia it's some breed of Khajiits, that looks like elves. Which appears only in Arena. I think it's just excuse, that it's variant, because later in the series Bethesda decided make them cats.
I knew Zoro was always a Khajiit
Fun fact those lion things on the wall were in the first doom too.

Man you are so chill, like your videos
The khajiit has a lot of breeds, it is determined by the position of the two moons when they are born, arena has one of its breed that is identical to humans, but its normal to this breed to use feline like facepaints to indentify
fun fact: originally they were birthmarks, but got retconned into facepaint to "fit in" later.
Lower numbers are better in armor for the first game. That is why the number went from -1 to -6 when u equipped the ebony helm. The amulet actually made your armor go up quite a bit. Uses old style DND type rules, so the -6 is put onto their attack when they strike at that part or something liek that.
I just rewatched your first attempt last night!
fun fact! these khajiit are actually Ohmes Khajiit which are closer to Mer, rather than their cat like cousins, so technically yes these are still canon as well as feline khajiit
don't ask me why
Edit: I can tell you why, the way a khajiit takes their form is determined by the different moons of tamriel and there are 17 different breeds of khajiit. Interesting race for sure
"You are entering a dangerous Daggerfall, my friend" really got me lmao
in the lore khajiits actually have a wide variety of different forms depending on which moon they were born under ranging from basically anime catgirls to literal housecats, so the khajiit resembling a human in tes1 isn't actually lore-breaking

@@wallamazoo01 Reanu Keeves is the ultimate perfect being
When Micky D uploads a video...There is no escape. No recall or intervention can work in this place.
Khajiit can be everything between felinids and men. Sometimes they grow to be huge tiger mounts, or tiny housecats. Sometimes they look like humanoid cats, others they look like elves or humans but with slight feline characteristics (sharp teeth, claws, cat eyes)
If you right-click the map icon, I think it shows you a local map, if I remember correctly. Might help with navigating such things as dungeons, or taverns. Also, yes, monsters appear in the cities at night, and can get really dangerous, too. Sometimes, you can be attacked by elder vampires, so it's best to avoid being outside at night. And I think clicking that green snake icon will tell you the current time, and possibly your health status, too (like if you have a disease, or some such).

As someone who wasted many a day in highschool making fantasy maps, this newfound knowledge made me extremely happy and insanely jealous!

Like daggerfall and hammerfall are disconnected or no whole world type

You should see argonians in arena. Actual ghouls
Khajiit can look like humans, depending on what moons are in the sky the day they are born a khajiit can look human or like a general house cat, or like a sabre-tooth tiger. The humanoid version is just more commonly seen and noticed by the other populations.
i laughed so hard to this video and commentary ....thank you for this :D
I love your walk throughs.😂 I played this game but was never able to finish the main quest because I sucked. I did complete dagger fall and morrowind though.

In Arena, lower numbers for armour actually means it's STRONGER. -5 would be better than +2. Very intuitive.
I imagine it would have been fairly intuitive at the time since in AD&D your Armour class decreases with better armour.
I dunno if anyone mentioned it but the Ebonheart that you visit in Morrowind is actually the same settlement that is on the mainland basically before the Tribunal let people colonize and settle the Island the Empire got around the law by simply extending the size of Ebonheart which encompassed that tiny bit south of Vivec City.
Ofc by the time of Morrowind the Temple allowed colonization hence why the Great Houses have settlements and the Imperial towns of Seyda Neen and Pelagiad were built.

I absolutely love your videos dude. You're the best, when you inevitably become youtube famous don't let it go to your head
Edit: Can we have more Harry Potter videos?
I'm so glad they made Arena free because I have always wanted to try it out. I remember back when I was younger, you could play it using DosBox, but the game would shut off after you clicked on the warp out of the first dungeon, so that is as far as you could go. I at least want to do the main quest.
That's Patrick Stewart! *shows picture of Ian Mckellen*
Managed to beat this game as a hard af class (nightblade) honestly a fun game with a cool atmosphere once you get used to it but its hard af
I've been playing through as a nightblade (I'm currently doing the first Morrowind dungeon), and honestly I'm finding it almost too easy. Being perpetually invisible and with a 400hp Shield spell with 100% reflect/absorb on top of that renders most of the enemies pretty much useless. I'm guessing the game would be a lot harder as a non-spellcaster class.
Magic helps alot, ive just heard it was one of the hardest because the max health is one of if not the lowest, good luck its a ride.
@@justsomedude5727 _actual_ max health may be the lowest, but make yourself a Shield spell with +20hp*lvl and your Nightblade will have more _de facto_ health than a Barbarian. And by the time you're level 7 or 8 you'll be swimming in gold for Restore Power potions so the casting cost is a non-issue.
