Speak quickly outlander, I haven't much time.
"Go on about your business."
Jason Fenton What an N'wah
This has always been my favorite Elder Scrolls game due to size alone. Having an entire continent of interesting landmarks and weird quests to do ate up so many years of my life. :P
+DreamcastGuy It's not really a continent, just a island in the province of Morrowind.
+DreamcastGuy daggerfall is the bigest
+tsartomato Yeah, but not as hand-crafted, as the newer games.

minecraft?
tsartomato Minecraft is smaller than Morrowind when you look at how much stuff you can do. morrowind has way more quests, items, freedom, and stuff to explore, whereas Minecraft has a boring combat system, around 5ish weapons, 8 different types of enemies, and ugly terrain. I would recommend morrowind any day compared to the game only defended by fanboys.
You look like the Adoring Fan from Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
He’s about as annoying as him too
Omg lmao
Derek as I long time fan I sincerely thank you for continuing to put out quality content even now. I figure sometimes it might be difficult for how much work goes into videos but it seems like you do it because you love it. Keep up the good work!.
Great video, I'm glad you asked me to be a part of it! I don't think i could do a better review of morrowind!
+The Dali Popka It wouldn't hurt my feelings if you reviewed Morrowind. :)
+The Dali Popka I'm glad you could be a part of it, it's always fun getting to make videos with friends. :)
+The Dali Popka Jay's going to be a professional guest star on youtube pretty soon. He's been in all our videos.
+Avalanche Reviews We shall see! XD
+SuperDerek RPGs Exuberance!
This is still probably my favourite game of all time, it was mindblowing back when it came out.
Area51UFOGynaecology This, Dark Souls, Gothic and now also Breath of the Wild.
He returns!!
it's so weird but Morrowwind had my favorite mechanic in all the ElderScrolls it's so subtle but I used to love it that is I sold a shopkeeper some gear better than what he was wearing he would should to equip it rather than sell it. I have no idea why I find it so enjoyable
I could never get into these style of RPGs... I tried but just couldnt do it... But i like watching other people talk about them and play them :) again with the great reviews man :)
You really need more subscribers, your reviews are the best!
Still the best Elder Scrolls game, and one of the greatest RPGs ever made. This is Bethesda in their prime. After this, they focused on appealing to a broader audience and started simplifying their games.
I mean, yeah. Thats what you do
Which is funny considering Morrowind is itself a simplification of past elder scroll games, but it replaced the lost depth with more detail. I think it found the best balance.
Haha was searching for morrowind review and the few good ones i found are from 2007 and 2009, really glad to see someone doing an awesome morrowing review again. Great video man.
As much as I like Morrowind, it's a lot different than traditional Western RPGs. Baldurs Gate would be closer in my opinion.
I enjoyed this review, Outlander.
:D
Muthsera?
N'wah!
I enjoyed this video, especially the calm and adult vibe!
derek ive never seen this side of you but i like it. i was raised on jrpgs but now at age 31 im a crpg fan. i still like jrpgs but very few new ones appeal to me these days.
great review dude!! Love this game
I love the nod to "A Christmas Story" there during the intro. Classic!
(Only I didn't say Fudge)
i'm playing through this right now, i love this game.
I lol'd at Darker the first died. "And that was the end of Darker." 😂😂😂
I remember the upstairs kid coming down to the hangout spot for me and my friends. We were into JRPGs. I think we’re playing either Dark Cloud or Final Fantasy XI. He wanted us to try the game and we never gave it a chance and essentially ignored him. Poor kid.
Morrowind is extremely rough around the edges but it was the first game I ever played that blew my mind. I remember as a 13 year old, dragging my TV and my Xbox down to my step-brother's room so we could both play beside one another. We'd play for hours, exploring different parts of the map and sharing information on where to find pieces of daedric armour, etc. The last time I had an experience like that with an RPG was Fallout 3... Sadly, I think RPGs have lost their sense of awe and mystery with me.
Anyway, sweet review dude! Brings back a lot of positive memories for me, haha.
Thanks +The Rambling Ram Reviews! I can completely sympathize. :)
no they havent have faith lil the witcher , souls series are a great start plus the new dragon age was very good
+Rosa Rodriguez I've played all of those games beside Dragon Age which just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Of course the Souls games are some of my favourite games of all time and I should've mentioned those but they're not as much about exploration and interaction. They impress me in an entirely different way. Understand, back when this game came out, I'd NEVER seen anything like it. Nowadays you can't swing a dead cat without hitting an open world RPG and they're just not as impressive to me anymore. That's not to say they're awful or anything, just not as awesome as they once were. I may make a video on this topic soon because it's interesting but complicated to get into here.
Great review, I really love Morrowind, no matter what version you play, it's packed with so much content. I actually purchased the PC version awhile back and I'm blown away how different the experience is with the overhaul mod.
Definetly worth getting it and playing it on xbox ONE they have improved alot visually and load times are quicker, less bugs and also you get the game of the year edition when you download it even if you only have the standard xbox original game disc. Couldn't play it on xbox original or even 360 backwards compat, but the newer cleaner version for xbox one is awesome if you can't play it on pc.
Man, this brings back memories... I started with a failed kajhit paladín, and then i went ahead with a dark elf axe wielding battlemage.
Excellent review, by the way!
That top loader in the background though
Great review to a classic.
I remember I played this when it first came out in 2002. I was absolutely enchanted by the world Bethesda had created. I grew up on Nintendo a little bit of Sony, so when my cousin introduced me to this, it was nothing short of amazing.
It was so intimidating, yet so immersive and intriguing. I've never been able to capture that feeling with a game again, since.
My first and favorite RPG is Breath of Fire III. Morrowind was my introduction to this series but Oblivion was my favorite, partly due to its soundtrack and atmosphere. I love your BoF reviews and I would love to see you review Oblivion and Skyrim!
Morrowind was my first foray into the land of Tamriel too.
shenmue 2 had more unique npc's than morrowind (over 600) that all looked unique and had their own voice actor.
drunkensailor112 morrowind had more npc's than oblivion and skyrim put together, but in morrowind thay were not all voiced acted so it was easier to add alot people in morrowind
WEEEEEE. I had a lot of fun watching your streams of this.
Just bought the game of the year edition, 7.99 !!!!
Ya know who introduced me to Morrowind back in the day? My good old friend Ricky. Ya know what happened when I faced my first Mudcrab? I died. Ya know what weapons I specialized in? I don't know cause I was definitely using the wrong one. Man was it a fun experience first playing Morrowind, learning the game, and figuring things out for yourself!
I think were going to be very close.
Fun fact: Orcs are actually Elves in The Elder Scrolls series.
Although imo elves is a bad name i prefer just calling them mer
Also fun fact: In The Lord of the Rings, Orcs are actually elves.
@@kerrydustin3996 Maybe? Tolkien went back and forth on the origin of Orcs in his legendarium.
Pretty new to your channel (referred here by a few other channels I enjoy) and I have to say I really love your theme song! Morrowind is one of my favorite video games and I still go back and play it from time to time on PC, though I did originally play the xbox version. One of the best examples of a tried and true formula (classical fantasy rpg) being taken and put in a wonderfully alien setting. Walking through towering mushroom forests, being awed by seeing Vivec City for the first time before inevitably getting lost inside it, and braving the Mars-like hellscape of the red mountain all remain visceral memories, and that doesn't even touch on all the awesome random memories I have of doing stupid or hilarious things myself while playing the game. Cliff Racers can all go die in a fire though.
A channel would this quality should have at least 300k subs, but I admit I never heard about it until today.
Hey thanks! with sine luck I'll get there sine day. :-)
LiquidusSnakeX bcoz he review old games & gamers want new games with top notch graphics even if they are total crap
I found goty version for 15 bucks at a local store where I live
This guys voice is amazing
zach drums he could easily voice an elder scrolls character, like an archer or mage
I like mostly western RPGs with JRPGs to mix it up a little
Yay, it's Derek! Awesome review, bro. I have your same JRPG leaning, but Morrowind has been one of my top games for a long time. It's amazing. If anything, Bethesda games were probably my gateway into more western RPGs.
Hey, it's my +Tom W! I completely agree. Since playing Morrowind, I've had cravings for other western RPGs... Still deciding on what to do next. Better decide soon, huh? :)
My suggestion: Start getting into the Ys series ;)
Yeah, I know it's not western, but hey, it's Ys. Ys is awesome.
Should do KOTOR, one of the best for the Xbox.
homie got that 'there's something about mary' hair
I picked up a used copy. But haven’t played it yet. It’s not the GOTY edition. Should I just go headlong into it. ? Or look for the GOTY copy? And what’s the real difference in the two?
Great to see you branching out of JRPGS. P.S. I like that you pulled out the 2 greatest games of all time at the beginning.
+unchartedgoldenabyss Boogerman and Super Hydlide? ;)
+SuperDerek RPGs Yeah, you know it! CLASSICS
First played this game at a buddies house, and I knew I had to buy it!
While I'm much more of a JRPG fan, I started out as a more western-style RPG fan on my Power Mac and DOS PC, and Morrowind is my favorite western-developed game of all time!
+Stefan Homberger Believe it or not, I've been going back in deciding whether to review a classic Power Mac game from my childhood. I wonder how people would take to it? :)
I remember trying this when it came out but i couldnt get past the archaic graphics which is a shame considering how beloved it is
Hahaha I like how Dali got all mad all of a sudden “hey merry chrimbus!😄” “ chrimbus was weeks ago’’ “ you want this present or not😡” lol
I put a ton of time into this game back in the day. The second best RPG on the Xbox!
+iluvgrapedrank Only the 2nd best? Which one's the best in your opinion? :)
Hahaha You should review KOTOR!
Heres a story about my first character. He was a dark paladin who had very high enchant, I would seek out very powerful beings, murder them and steal their souls. When I was powerful enough, I went to Vivec's house, kicked his ass and trapped his soul in my slippers.
I'd love to see a re-release with a modernized battle system. This game's sense of exploration is completely unmatched by the sequels and the spells were alot more fun, too.
Well Skywind is in development, but it uses the dumbed down Skyrim combat system.
My first Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion game of the year ed on PS3. I didn't love it but bought Skyrim and Morrowind afterwards. I've only played the beginning of Morrowind on PC and my favorite part is all the mods! My laptop isn't that strong but I overhauled the graphics, the combat and added whole new areas and fan made storylines...
+Cesar Perez “Isaac” Ive septn so much time playing and moddin Olbivion i cant even explain, thats for me my Fav...such an awesome game, i cant give you some mod names for you to check out
I got the GOTY edition for about $9 on GameStop.com
I got it on G2A for $8.72
sand41088 I got the non platinum game of the year edition for Xbox for $2 at a thrift store lel
DarthRambo i got the goty edition for xbox for free on a bet
I got the goty edition for about $20.00, so I guess I overpaid but, it was worth it
@@onlythelonely1684 i got oh waittt i didnt got it yet *spoookkky nosiess*
great video as usual, and very well explained, ive never played this one, but Oblivion is definetely the top of the iceberg for me, I've sent hounderds of hours both playing and modding, and the modding part is so much fun for it, I literally made the game as I wanted it to be, I also own skyrim, but i like Oblivion the better...thats coming from a Jrpg guy such as me.
Loved this game. So many hours. Mind you I don't miss all that running esp if it's any area without the travel systems which was confusing.
Great video. Keep up the good work :)
Hey Super Derek, awesome review as always. Sorry i wasn't around for any of the streams when you were playing Morrowind, i was busy with life stuff and getting ready to move.
But i wanted to ask a quick question: have you ever played any of the .Hack games? And are they worthy of the game collection?
+Joliame Yaseph I've never played any of them, but I've heard good things! As a fan of anime and RPGs, the .Hack Series has piqued my interest, but have never seen it for a good price.
"Oh, it's the XBox guy", haha, I'm sure that's a badge that Dali Popka wears with honor. ;) I haven't played much of Oblivion or Skyrim, but I've put a lot of hours into Morrowind. I do enjoy the style of JRPGs/console RPGs more, but these games are awesome and definite deserve the attention that they get.
Derek, great video, but the audio has some issues, it sound too loud in some parts
+Retrocast After listening to it with cheaper headphones it's become abundantly clear that I really need to invest time into de-essing my audio. The sibilance is a little grating. :-\
Yep, it´s that, the sound at the end of your phrases, it really hurts my ear :S,
This game is still very good, and the lack of quality of life changes doesnt really bring this one down too much. Still very playable, and it seems to be the only Bethesda story that actually promotes you to slow down and side quest a little bit, instead of rush you on to the next main quest mission. I just played this game for my first time on the Xbox One X whenever it came to backwards compatibility and I already have fond memories with this game
Wanted to get into this game but my character would just die during combat wit a rat. Oblivion was the where I was able to get into the Elders Scrolls series. Oblivion pretty much fixed everything I hated about the combat in Morrowwind. Then Skyrim took it to the next level. Would love if they would remastered this game.
I just bought morrowind and oblivion for xbox for 7$ total, I already played oblivion on pc. too bad my pc broke but morrowind is the only title I haven't played.
I never could get into this series with this, Oblivion, or Skyrim. Just think it isn't for me. I was about to ask if this is your first WRPG video because I'm new to your channel(watched BoF III-V, both Persona 2s, Lunar 2, and Legend of Dragoon, like them all so far) but see it says so in the description. I saw that you have Dragon Force in one of them, that's a good one not many people talk about.
+Pimpalicious1987 Yep! this was my first one, and my next review will also be Western.. ish. :)
Also, I really need to build myself up to Dragon Force I think, I haven't done any SRPGs or TRPGs on this channel, and I think I ought to find a good way to segue.
Oh yeah, I see that now. I agree it wouldn't be the best to start off with.
I just finished this on series X, incredible! Game has no load times, no delays opening doors or any slow down. Xbox one it also plays really well, original Xbox I didn’t like it. I played a dark elf assassin archer and leveled up my magic like a mad rabbit until I could fly like the wind
nice free music in the intro
Yep, I'm glad TH-cam introduced that feature. It's a good assurance that including some other "royalty free" stuff I find on the Internet doesn't result in copyright strikes down the road, which has bitten people in the ass before.
Now this is an unexpected video for this channel. Morrowind was great though so its cool ;)
Nice review man. :) Was that a fayt liengod figure behind you if so nice.
+driftingswordsmanzer You bet it was! :)
hahaha nice!
I'm sitting here wondering if i should buy it on steam or just play it through game pass.
Hey if I started out on skyrim and loved it do you think I'll be able to enjoy this game as well?
It's hard to say, they're vastly different games. It probably depends on what you liked about Skyrim. If you liked Skyrim for it's battle and leveling system, and voice-acting, probably not. If you liked the lore, the large open world, and the sense of exploration, you'll probably dig Morrowind. Many people in the Elder Scrolls fandom consider Morrowind the best of the series. :)
"The music of the game seemed to be pretty limited".
Oh..gosh..No, NO, I'M DYING.
most of the more modern releases have simplified so much of the content, and that's not a bad thing but when I first played morrowind I was caught off guard by the amount of skills to chose, and what they all did. But after a few hours I loved it so much more than skyrim.
Man pls do an Oblivion review....one of my top 10 games, and you should try playing Two Worlds if you havent played it yet
I'm just here to pray to our protector the Nerevarine.
What i really wanna know is about the Xbox port in particular. I already know the game is great but the real question for me is: Does the Xbox port provide a worthy version to experience the game for the first time? barring mods, does this port offer a nearly identical or at least "good enough" experience compared to vanilla PC?
I'd say you can easily get a "good enough" experience. Morrowind for Xbox feels about as vanilla as you can get, including the aspect of running the game on hardware of the time, giving you a view of the game as it was originally released, complete with fog to help limit the viewable distance. Some aspects of the UI could have been updated better to suit a console experience, but it was serviceable. I recommend that you play on a very sharp TV using component cables, because details might be hard to discern otherwise.
hey, does this mean you will be playing more western RPGs? if so i have a few suggestions that would be good to check out
+Bionic Dragon Every once in a while. Still gonna be mostly JRPGs, but maybe a western once or twice a year. :)
i see, thats cool :D i have a few sujestions of western RPGs to try out if your interested :)
PS, big fan of your work, i really liked your Breath of fire reviews
+Bionic Dragon Sure! Feel free to throw them out there. If I haven't heard of them I'll look 'em up! :)
well for starters, any bioware RPG, mainly mass effect and dragon age because those are the ones i played most (i have only played a little bit of star wars: knights of the old republic) for the most part they are good games (except for mass effect 3s ending, EA ruined that) i prefer mass effect but thats just because i prefer science fiction in general. in this revew you said that JRPGs are mostly about groups and western RPGs are more about one person, but for bioware games they focuse a lot on your companions in the games witch is nice because the companions in there games are always so good, you might start out one of there games not likeing one of the companiens but as the game goes on and you learn more about them your opinion of them could change
can you review the rest of the series
best game in the series with it's unique world, not sure how well it'd work on a console though
+unassumption the answer to that: Barely. I mean, it worked, but between bugs, load times, and draw distance problems, not even taking into account the poor GUI for a console, the game had a lot of problems that needed fixing. Plus the benefit of mods can't be overstated.
"What's this at the bottom of my sack? " said Santa...
Are you a fan of the souls games? It will be amazing to see a review of those games
In his Persona 3 FES review, he said he completed Dark Souls.
+Clashman The Third Nice catch, yeah I'm a big fan of the Souls games. Never played Demon's souls though. Seems whenever I come across it people always want to charge too much for it.
+SuperDerek RPGs do you tried bloodborne? I'm playing it right now, it takes a little bit of getting used to, but when you get good at it the fights become really fun
I have only played the PC version so I can't comment on the Xbox one but the game was fantastic on PC.
Best game ever
After Dark Souls
The series that first got me into rpg's was pokemon. That does count, right?
BTW, don't buy the steam version for anyone who wants the PC version, it does not have the creation kit, hits hard to mod, and buggy as all hell. I recommend buying the GOG.com version.
The Steam version has worked just fine since day one.
1 - There is a free fix so that the CS works perfectly.
2 - Move you Morrowind installation out of Program Files, and mods will work just fine. (Unless you're clueless on how to use mods because you don't read the ReadMe files)
3 - "Buggy as hell" ... lol... That means nothing without context. Yes, the game has bugs, but nothing as bad as compared to Skyrim/Fallout.
4 - Install the community made patches (MW Code Patch & MW Patch Project) to fix the glitches/bugs that do exist and the "buggy as hell" problem would be corrected. (unless *you* are just that bad at the game.)
The Xbox Version of Morrowind wasn't so bad. Still i think The Elder Scrolls is better than most JRPG Franchise's.
I started with Jrpgs: Chornno Trigger, FFVI, FFVII... But in the recent years i am playing more western Rpgs, the japanese were on limbo in the last generation...
MORROWIND RULES!
This was so much better than oblivion and skyrim. Creative spells like float, spears, throwing weapons, more creatures. I loved it! Also my dark elfs name was Dark Musty Balls lol.
Where did you get those nes boxes ?
Bloodmoon was great!
I've tried playing this game twice, also on Xbox, and I just can't get into it. I tried, but the dice roll combat just kills it for me. I enjoyed Oblivion and Skyrim a lot more. I'm hoping the Skywind mod will be finished soon.
+Son of Tiamat For what it's worth, the dice roll combat gets a lot better when you realize your fatigue plays a HUGE role in your hit chances. And so does weapon skill. If you give it another go, I'd recommend choosing a main weapon first, then building a character that has as many points in that stat as you can. Then life will be easier. :)
+Son of Tiamat yeah it's garbage but after couple of hours you overlevel everything so much that dices are always in your favour
+SuperDerek RPGs Thanks for that! Have been trying a bit myself to get into this game and always wanted to give it a fair shot, but struggled quite allot with the beginning^^
They might have fixed it for the GOTY edition, but I had the original Morrowind for the original Xbox, and it was so horribly broken I couldn't play it. Every time I would get a few hours into the game, my save file would become irrecoverably corrupted. After this happened 3 times I gave up, built up my gaming PC and bought Morrowind for PC, than I got into the wide world of Modding...
Yeah, I think that's a common theme among Bethesda games. Save File bloat kills the save file, which is caused by moving stuff around in-game. Sometimes they say you can fix it by waiting in-place for a few weeks, which causes things to respawn and thus decrease the save file size, but I didn't have a ton of luck with that.
Is the Xbox version still worth playing? I either pick it up on the Xbox or I skip right to Oblivion
I'd say so, but what you see is what you get. if the visuals in the review are a deal breaker, then probably not. however, I'd say that is still worth experiencing on the Xbox, especially if the pc version is a non starter for you.
thanks. I'll pick it up at some point. GOTY edition is like €50-100 here so might just stick to the normal version
Paid 3 dollars and 90 something cents for morrowind game of the year edition lol. Was on sale for Xmas
first RPG I got into was demons souls on ps3! btw ur reviews are awesome.
Thanks +Robert Alexander! :)
got another sub good video
Forty-five episodes? Man, you gotta get a hobby or something! Oh, wait...
And sorry for leaving the door open on your TV and you having to deal with that Xbox guy popping in and out. I'll make sure to shut it the next time I make a visit.
I gravitate toward to jrpgs
Why cant I have hair like Derek? Life is so unfair.
+theflyingninja1 If there's ever demand, maybe I'll make a tutorial video. ;)
i remember the ten minute loading times
+Tom Reimer Luckily I never encountered that problem in my playthrough. However, as you play the game longer, more things do get moved around, and the save file bloats up quite a bit, so load times do increase. I've heard that waiting in one spot for like, a week or two, will cause the issue to resolve itself.
