Biggest tip to new players: Take the limeware platter from the shelf in the first room you start in when creating a character straight after you gain the inventory, but drop it before the guard gets to you. You can then pick it up again and sell it, it gets you enough gold to equip yourself with some decent starter gear.
@@FirstLast-pt7bm I laughed harder than I propably should. I think I was three quarters through fighters and mages guild as well as Hlaalu and on the path of the Monk (forgot what the trifecta was called) till I looked at my questline and was "Oh, right."
not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last weeks :)
I must say, this series REALLY helped me get back into morrowind. It was my first elder scrolls game, but even so, I forgot how dreadfully slow it was and how it played out. This series just makes it more fun to explore deeper into the more intricate parts of the game. I really appreciate it, and would also love to see a similar series for similar games like KOTOR or fallout (mostly the original games, but I like 'em all). Then again, those games don't have quite as many intricacies as morrowind does, but it would be nice either way. whatever you do, keep it up.
Like if you paused through the video's timeline and actually took the time to read 'Water Breathing' by Haliel Myrm. I know I did. But, if you're lazy to do so and are curious, here, have a read. It's actually a nice little story. Morrowind is full of nice books with stories like these. It's also nice when you can actually visit some of these locations told in these books and, have NPCs tell you about the 'lore' or 'tale.' Water Breathing by Haliel Myrm: He walked through the dry, crowded streets of Bal Fell, glad to be among so many strangers. In the wharfs of Vivec, he had no such anonymity. They knew him to be a smuggler, but here, he could be anyone. A lower-class peddler perhaps. A student even. Some people even pushed against him as he walked past as if to say, "We would not dream of being so rude as to acknowledge that you don't belong here." Seryne Relas was not in any of the taverns, but he knew she was somewhere, perhaps behind a tenement window or poking around in a dunghill for an exotic ingredient for some spell or another. He knew little of the ways of sorceresses, but that they always seemed to be doing something eccentric. Because of this prejudice, he nearly passed by the old Dunmer woman having a drink from a well. It was too prosaic, but he knew from the look of her that she was Seryne Relas, the great sorceress. "I have gold for you," he said to her back. "If you will teach me the secret of breathing water." She turned around, a wide wet grin stretched across her weathered features. "I ain't breathing it, boy. I'm just having a drink." "Don't mock me," he said, stiffly. "Either you're Seryne Relas and you will teach me the spell of breathing water, or you aren't. Those are the only possibilities." "If you're going to learn to breathe water, you're going to have to learn there are more possibilities than that, boy. The School of Alteration is all about possibilities, changing patterns, making things be what they could be. Maybe I ain't Seryne Relas, but I can teach how to breathe water," she wiped her mouth dry. "Or maybe I am Seryne Relas and I won't. Or maybe even I can teach you to breathe water, but you can't learn." "I'll learn," he said, simply. "Why don't you just buy yourself a spell of water breathing or a potion over at the Mages Guild?" she asked. "That's how it's generally done." "They're not powerful enough," he said. "I need to be underwater for a long time. I'm willing to pay whatever you ask, but I don't want any questions. I was told you could teach me." "What's your name, boy?" "That's a question," he replied. His name was Tharien Winloth, but in Vivec, they called him the Tollman. His job, such as it was, was collecting a percentage of the loot from the smugglers when they came into harbor to bring to his boss in the Camonna Tong. Of the value of that percentage, he earned another percentage. In the end it was very small indeed. He had scarcely any gold of his own, and what he had, he gave to Seryne Relas. The lessons began that very day. The sorceress brought her pupil, who she simply called "boy," out to a low sandbank along the sea. "I will teach you a powerful spell for breathing water," she said. "But you must become a master of it. As with all spells and all skills, you [sic] more you practice, the better you get. Even that ain't enough. To achieve true mastery, you must understand what it is you're doing. It ain't simply enough to perform a perfect thrust of a blade -- you must also know what you are doing and why." "That's common sense," said Tharien [sic] "Yes, it is," said Seryne, closing her eyes. "But the spells of Alteration are all about uncommon sense. The infinite possibilities, breaking the sky, swallowing space, dancing with time, setting ice on fire, believing that the unreal may become real. You must learn the rules of the cosmos and then break them." "That sounds ... very difficult," replied Tharien, trying to keep a straight face. Seryne pointed to the small silver fish darting along the water's edge: "They don't find it so. They breathe water just fine." "But that's not magic." "What I'm saying to you, boy, is that it is." For several weeks, Seryne drilled her student, and the more he understood about what he was doing and the more he practiced, the longer he could breathe underwater. When he found that he could cast the spell for as long as he needed, he thanked the sorceress and bade her farewell. "There is one last lesson I have to teach you," she said. "You must learn that desire is not enough. The world will end your spell no matter how good you are, and no matter how much you want it." "That's a lesson I'm happy not to learn," he said, and left at once for the short journey back to Vivec. The wharfs were much the same, with all the same smells, the same sounds, and the same characters. His boss had found a new Tollman, he learned from his mates. They were still looking out for the smuggler ship Morodrung, but they had given up hope of ever seeing it. Tharien knew they would not. He had seen it sink from the wharf a long time ago. On a moonless night, he cast his spell and dove into the thrashing purple waves. He kept his mind on the world of possibilities, that books could sing, that green was blue, that that [sic] water was air, that every stroke and kick brought him closer to a sunken ship filled with treasure. He felt magicka surge all around him as he pushed his way deeper down. Ahead he saw a ghostly shadow of the Morodrung, its mast billowing in a wind of deep water currents. He also felt his spell begin to fade. He could break reality long enough to breathe water all the way back up to the surface, but not enough to reach the ship. The next night, he dove again, and this time, the spell was stronger. He could see the vessel in detail, clouded over and dusted in sediment. The wound in its hull where it had struck the reef. A glint of gold beckoning from within. But still he felt reality closing in, and he had to surface. The third night, he made it into the steerage, past the bloated corpses of the sailors, nibbled and picked apart by fish. Their glassy eyes bulging, their mouths stretched open. Had they only known the spell, he thought briefly, but his mind was more occupied by the gold scattered along the floor, the boxes that contained them shattered. He considered scooping as much he could carry into his pockets, but a sturdy iron box seemed to bespeak more treasures. On the wall was a row of keys. He took each down and tried it on the locked box, but none opened it. One key, however, was missing. Thalien [sic] looked around the room. Where could it be? His eyes went to the corpse of one of the sailors, floating in a dance of death not far from the box, his hands tightly clutching something. It was a key. When the ship had begun to sink, this sailor had evidently gone for the iron box. Whatever was in it had to be very valuable. Thalien [sic] took the sailor's key and opened the box. It was filled with broken glass. He rummaged around until he felt something solid, and pulled out two flasks of some kind of wine. He smiled as he considered the foolishness of the poor alcoholic. This was what was important to the sailor, out of all the treasure in the Morodrung. Then, suddenly, Thalien [sic] Winloth felt reality. He had not been paying attention to the grim, tireless advance of the world on his spell. It was fading away, his ability to breathe water. There was no time to surface. There was no time to do anything. As he sucked in, his lungs filled with cold, briny water. A few days later, the smugglers working on the wharf came upon the drowned body of the former Tollman. Finding a body in the water in Vivec was not in itself noteworthy, but the subject that they discussed over many bottles of flin was how did it happen that he drowned with two potions of water breathing in his hands.

I wanted to thank you for all your tips. To be honest, I didn't know ANYTHING about Morrowind at the time. I watched your video and found my own ways of enjoying the game. So I made a video and it has BLOWN UP with much success. I wanted your permission to link your channel in my description because I feel as though you deserve credit as well. Thanks so much!
Ah I'm sorry for the late response. Thank you much I'm in your debt this video what was that encouraged me. Hope we can get more viewers your way! Thanks :)
There is a broken alchemy mechanic in the game that probably is an oversight from the developers. It works like this: The quality of the potions created through alchemy is based upon the intelligence of the player. It is possible to create potions that have the effect "fortify intelligence". Drinking this potion will allow you to create stronger potions. Looping this process creates an exponential increase in intelligence. It's easy to create potions that yields thousands of points that last several minutes and have a worth of over 10k. If any one want to try this out that i suggest that you head for the chapel in Vos. There is a vendor there called Eldrilu Dalen, she have an infinite restock of netch leather and ash yams that both have the effect of fortify intelligence. I get that this ruins the fun of the game but it is fun to try once.
In Gnisis Temple you can buy Ash Yam + Netch lether + Bloat. More ingredients in one potion will make it stronger, so you can break the game even faster!
That's actually how I beat Almalexia and the werewolves from Bloodmoon since I wasn't prepared for the former, and the latter are just annoying to deal with. I used restore health potions.
Another exploit is if you use drain skill on yourself and drain it to 1 and then go to a trainer it only costs like 5 gold to train and when your spell wears off you get how ever many lvls you went up added onto your already existing skill so you can max out any skill for like 100 gold in just a few minutes
+Elias Leidö nope there's plenty to come yet ^^ I don't get much time to do them nowadays though, and when I do make one, usually something else happens. I've got 2 guides ready, 1 of them I deleted (without a backup) TWICE....don't ask *facepalm* and now my ISP broke my upload again >< Good news everyone: my upload speeds will not only be fixed, but changed dramatically VERY soon, which means my streamed 'Lets Play' is no longer a pipe dream ^^
7:19 I'm very OCD like that when it comes to doors! It's also very helpful when you have certain powerful enemies or you're trying to escape a gang of hoodlums while not having any Restore Health Potions or spells. LOL
I know the video is old but about the Windwalker scrolls. An even better option is getting the boots of blinding speed with a weak, long-lasting, levitation spell. Ridiculously effective.
Honestly the best advice I would say to new players is something I only learned about 20 hours in: no matter what kind of character you have, GET ENCHANTMENT! It will help you out in so many ways. I don't even use potions anymore because I have rings of stamina and health. I can even fly for 27 seconds because of my belt. One thing, though. Get the enchanting made possible mod. Also, unlike skyrim, different petty, lesser, etc. souls have different values, so don't soul trap a nix-hound or kwarma forager, go for the cliff racers.
have your mark at balmora, quick access everywhere. later in the game enchant yourself a ring or such with multiple jump 100 for 1 sec on use, you can add fort acrobatics/strenght to get really far too.
3:02 Doesn`t the same goes for Sneak as well, given how easy you can increase it by just sneaking your way across the entire continent and beyond? Too bad that Agents have the Acrobatics skill as their major skill, thus ... yeah. Same with Hand-To-Hand when you are around decently-leveled and away from other hostiles because well, 2 words: punching Scribs.
i just got the game and i was wondering why couldnt hit damn thing.... i didnt know what stamina was for because i could run and jump when it was at 0 so i thought it did nothing....
Wow, I started this game today and came across Waterbreathing too. Was also the first book I read here, I dunno, somehow it was interesting. But damn, I will cheack out that old site, thanks for the tip!
Downloaded it and it worked but then stopped randomly. I deleted it and redownloaded it, but it won't work anymore. If I try to pull up the construction set, it won't have access to Morrowind's files. I don't know what to do :(
Its cool with the windwalker scroll however it only lasts 60 sec. What you should do is get yourself a bottle with levitation magic, be it cheap bottle or quality, doesn't matter, and then go to the shine in the city of Vivec, which is in the temple cantoon and give bottle of levitation as an offering to the shrine what you get is very fast levitation magic but it lasts A LOT longer than 60 sec. You can preety much cover the whole map with it. Also a good tip here is that if you find this levitation comforting, then use mark on the shrine, so when it runs out, just cast recall and teleport yourself back to the shrine, give another bottle, and fly again, problem solved :-).
+Nenad Djordjevic And after you get the 100 points of Levitation fly over to the Fields of Kummu and make offering there as well (i believe it's Muck) for 100 points of Feather (for i believe the same amount of time) to fly even faster!
Hi JustRed. Wow, your bids are brilliant, and man!...you really know your Morrowind! Your alchemy tutorial was the best thing since I started playing (few months ago). I can create any potions I want now, & far superior to anything I could buy (thanks to you, and the UESP Wiki, ofc;) Hmm, I just installed the Morrowind Overhaul Mod earlier, and man...its a bit scary! I dunno...maybe I'll get used to it...'Loading Area' takes a fair bit longer (my hardware is all pretty old...'Dwemer'...some might call it, but what about the 'Good Old Days' of making Arille look like a freak by selling him Tarhiels' Robe along with a Dark Brotherhood Helm, which ofc, he instantly dons. Eeeehh...there should be a law against that man!!...but slightly amusing ;) All the Best...
Do doors really help ? I literally keep EVERY doors open in every dungeons and crypts to tells "this room is completed", will that slowdown Morrowind ?
Is the Morrowind Patch Project essential or can I go with just the Code Patch? One more thing, I don't want any game changing or game balancing fixes. I just want to fix the bugs. Which patch is best for that? Morrowind Patch Project or Code Patch?
*quick tip/n00b hack* when wearing the boots of blinding speed, simply use night eye magic potion spell etc. Etc. It counters the blind effect so say night eye of 50 for 30secs, you'll get a darker screen, an easy illusion spell, and ridiculous speed for spamming your way across the fast traveless landscape. You're welcome
Paul Baker I used the 100% resist magic for 1 sec, equipped the boots real fast and then I could see and even fight with the boots on. However, because of a glitch, I permanently have the +200 speed bonus, and if I equip the boots, it becomes +400!
I got the GOTY-Edition of the game via an German Magazine called "Computer BILD Spiele" for like 5 bucks. So my question is, can i somehow activate or fully include this game in my Steam library and is this so called patcher compatible with the German version off this game. O and before i forget, i tried pretty much everything to get the nexus modd manager running. Nevertheless this bloody programm just ain't working. I like to ask for help and i don't care if you answer me in English or in German, just make the instructions as simpel as it get. ;) Thank you kindly.
I don't recommend picking Athletics as a major or minor skill. I consider this skill the most frustrating of all to train manually because you only get +0.03% per second of swimming, regardless of how fast you're moving or any of your other attributes. Yes, you can just swim into the wall in the Balmora river using the autorun key and leave the game running, but it still takes nearly an hour of constant swimming to get a single level in Athletics, and who wants to leave the game running for over 9 hours? This is usually the only skill for which I'll use the master trainer.
I know this is almost 3 years old but you have good MW Information. Thanks. For those wanting a map get the MW Interactive map. Handy with dual monitors. mw.modhistory.com/download-55-15437
There is a faster way to improve that Athletics skill. Instead of running go swimming! In Balmora you can do it safely with no slaughterfish. Near the bridges there are some corners against which you can start stroking. Swimming increases Athletics faster than running. It even increases while swimming at a slow pace.
This is a good video and I enjoy it, but i'm going to have to correct you on something. Fatigue has nothing to do with hitting targets. It depends on your agility and the agility of the npc attacking you. The only thing fatigue affects during combat is when your completely out of fatigue and a npc hits you, you'll fall to the floor unable to move. What allows you to get up from being knocked over is if you have about 2 or 3 seconds for your fatigue to recover, if it doesn't you'll stay down. What i just stated above also applies to npc's losing fatigue and falling down, its most noticeable when you use hand to hand combat on npc's. Since hand to hand combat depletes the targets fatigue.
no need to correct me, it's not wrong :p Fatigue is actually a BIG factor in combat, unless it's modded out. "The lower your Fatigue drops, the harder it is to successfully perform actions like attacking and casting spells" (from the manual)
I've been playing morrowind since 2003 (pc, xbox) and recently got back into playing vanilla morrowind 3 years ago, I agree with you that low or no fatigue makes combat very difficult or close to impossible, (because you can't move) but technically, according to the way the stats and combat system works fatigue has no real effect or impact on hit chance, agility does. My opinion on what the game manual says, "The lower your Fatigue drops, the harder it is to successfully perform actions like attacking and casting spells" Is that bethesda probably said that in their manual for new players, instead of explaining to them the complex mathematical equations determining hit chance with stats so they wouldn't discourage new players and sell more copies of the game. But overall, My point is... (based on the combat system and stats) that fatigue (technically) does not affect hit chance AT ALL.
Ironically, even though many people whine and bitch about Morrowind game mechanics, in comparison, I find more engrossing and actually more logical than mechanics in TES IV or V. They're closer to 2nd Edition AD&D mechanics, which is where the Arena and Daggerfall dev team cut their teeth in RPG's. Frankly, modded Skyrim with SkyRe or Requiem just makes TES V an even more tedious button monster mash. Best modded mechanics for TES game is IMO, hands down Deadly Reflex 5 with climbing from Maskar's Overhaul... mega fun and fairly stable.
thanks. we all know how to play Morrowind. my game 13 years ago came with a manual and a map. choosing to shoot an arrow is weaker than using fists. fists first with the tiny ones. acrobatics will increase with every jump. i'm done with this child.
+Ronald Brandt Sorry but I'm not sure what... When I bought at release I also got a map and a manual, modern digital copies however, do not. Most people aren't even aware there's a pdf manual available. The archery thing was actually a fatigue demonstration, but not all people like to use hand-to-hand anyway, especially on a first playthrough. You lost me with the child bit I'm afraid though. 13 years on, Morrowind still has new players every day :)
i don't do online games. however, i have played morrowind 3 times full with the manual and the 2nd run through, i killed the god. that killed the game as well. i'm ready for #4 now this is the best rpg ever made. i need to purchase a new comp. and am close.then? i think i'll vacation for 3 weeks just to get to know the game again.
Can you do a guide of some sort on how to download the code patch, I put everything in the right folder and launched the application for the code patch but none of the settings show up when I load it, just a small window that pops up in a corner and then quickly disappears. I am using the steam version of morrowind GOTY edition.
Biggest tip to new players: Take the limeware platter from the shelf in the first room you start in when creating a character straight after you gain the inventory, but drop it before the guard gets to you. You can then pick it up again and sell it, it gets you enough gold to equip yourself with some decent starter gear.
There are like 20 things to do before you even deliver the package in morrowind.
ottoollie36 wait we're supposed to deliver something?

May I say I love your accent. 😊
I never considered the NPC's perspective when you speak to them with zero stamina. Self-centered hero complex, party of one.. 🤗

Water Breathing by Haliel Myrm:
He walked through the dry, crowded streets of Bal Fell, glad to be among so many strangers. In the wharfs of Vivec, he had no such anonymity. They knew him to be a smuggler, but here, he could be anyone. A lower-class peddler perhaps. A student even. Some people even pushed against him as he walked past as if to say, "We would not dream of being so rude as to acknowledge that you don't belong here."
Seryne Relas was not in any of the taverns, but he knew she was somewhere, perhaps behind a tenement window or poking around in a dunghill for an exotic ingredient for some spell or another. He knew little of the ways of sorceresses, but that they always seemed to be doing something eccentric. Because of this prejudice, he nearly passed by the old Dunmer woman having a drink from a well. It was too prosaic, but he knew from the look of her that she was Seryne Relas, the great sorceress.
"I have gold for you," he said to her back. "If you will teach me the secret of breathing water."
She turned around, a wide wet grin stretched across her weathered features. "I ain't breathing it, boy. I'm just having a drink."
"Don't mock me," he said, stiffly. "Either you're Seryne Relas and you will teach me the spell of breathing water, or you aren't. Those are the only possibilities."

Or maybe even I can teach you to breathe water, but you can't learn."
"I'll learn," he said, simply.
"Why don't you just buy yourself a spell of water breathing or a potion over at the Mages Guild?" she asked. "That's how it's generally done."
"They're not powerful enough," he said. "I need to be underwater for a long time. I'm willing to pay whatever you ask, but I don't want any questions. I was told you could teach me."
"What's your name, boy?"
"That's a question," he replied. His name was Tharien Winloth, but in Vivec, they called him the Tollman.

"That's common sense," said Tharien [sic]
"Yes, it is," said Seryne, closing her eyes. "But the spells of Alteration are all about uncommon sense. The infinite possibilities, breaking the sky, swallowing space, dancing with time, setting ice on fire, believing that the unreal may become real. You must learn the rules of the cosmos and then break them."
"That sounds ... very difficult," replied Tharien, trying to keep a straight face.
Seryne pointed to the small silver fish darting along the water's edge: "They don't find it so. They breathe water just fine."
"But that's not magic."
"What I'm saying to you, boy, is that it is."
For several weeks, Seryne drilled her student, and the more he understood about what he was doing and the more he practiced, the longer he could breathe underwater. When he found that he could cast the spell for as long as he needed, he thanked the sorceress and bade her farewell.

There is a broken alchemy mechanic in the game that probably is an oversight from the developers. It works like this:
The quality of the potions created through alchemy is based upon the intelligence of the player. It is possible to create potions that have the effect "fortify intelligence". Drinking this potion will allow you to create stronger potions. Looping this process creates an exponential increase in intelligence. It's easy to create potions that yields thousands of points that last several minutes and have a worth of over 10k.
If any one want to try this out that i suggest that you head for the chapel in Vos. There is a vendor there called Eldrilu Dalen, she have an infinite restock of netch leather and ash yams that both have the effect of fortify intelligence.
I get that this ruins the fun of the game but it is fun to try once.
In Gnisis Temple you can buy Ash Yam + Netch lether + Bloat. More ingredients in one potion will make it stronger, so you can break the game even faster!
That's actually how I beat Almalexia and the werewolves from Bloodmoon since I wasn't prepared for the former, and the latter are just annoying to deal with. I used restore health potions.
Nicolai Bakkeli Honestly I'd use it to circumvent having to level enchanting.
Another exploit is if you use drain skill on yourself and drain it to 1 and then go to a trainer it only costs like 5 gold to train and when your spell wears off you get how ever many lvls you went up added onto your already existing skill so you can max out any skill for like 100 gold in just a few minutes
Thank you man. Best Morrowind starter guide on TH-cam, in my opinion.
Probably the only one aswell
Ollie Taylor
Nope.
***** There are others but none are very high quality compared to this.
Ollie Taylor
That's what I said...
Woe-man but idk doesn’t matter
+Elias Leidö nope there's plenty to come yet ^^ I don't get much time to do them nowadays though, and when I do make one, usually something else happens. I've got 2 guides ready, 1 of them I deleted (without a backup) TWICE....don't ask *facepalm* and now my ISP broke my upload again ><
Good news everyone: my upload speeds will not only be fixed, but changed dramatically VERY soon, which means my streamed 'Lets Play' is no longer a pipe dream ^^
Man I am glad I found this series, it has been SUPER helpful
Very impressed with the video series. Best one I've seen for morrowind yet
lmao u said never to put athletics and acrobatics in major or minor, and u did anyway, good video ty so much helped me a ton :)
Your voice reminds me of the accents in the Fable games lol very helpful video btw :)
Chi'en chaser
Lmao
7:19 I'm very OCD like that when it comes to doors! It's also very helpful when you have certain powerful enemies or you're trying to escape a gang of hoodlums while not having any Restore Health Potions or spells. LOL
5:10
....10 years that i play Morrowind and i didn't know that little gate existed...always assumed it was just a wooden wall
I know the video is old but about the Windwalker scrolls. An even better option is getting the boots of blinding speed with a weak, long-lasting, levitation spell. Ridiculously effective.
Great videos!! The most informative on TH-cam that I could find. Subscribed and liked all of them. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks!
HA! Totally forgot the books. I liked the books. And reading 'Breathing Water' again... Thank you. XD
Oh wow, I didn't know you were still making these! Thanks so much!
Great video, never knew about the books or the Scroll of Windwalker tip!
Honestly the best advice I would say to new players is something I only learned about 20 hours in: no matter what kind of character you have, GET ENCHANTMENT! It will help you out in so many ways. I don't even use potions anymore because I have rings of stamina and health. I can even fly for 27 seconds because of my belt. One thing, though. Get the enchanting made possible mod. Also, unlike skyrim, different petty, lesser, etc. souls have different values, so don't soul trap a nix-hound or kwarma forager, go for the cliff racers.
levitation is so op
@@samuelsebriant7438 levitation with invisibility or as I call it. You can fly and not even a cliff racer will bother you
Subscribbled just for your voice
good accent
Excellent series of video guides. Solid narration, good organization of material. I'd be very interested in a "Let's Play" if you do one.
have your mark at balmora, quick access everywhere. later in the game enchant yourself a ring or such with multiple jump 100 for 1 sec on use, you can add fort acrobatics/strenght to get really far too.
I can't hear you as well on these last two vids, Red. Glad you are back. :)
3:02 Doesn`t the same goes for Sneak as well, given how easy you can increase it by just sneaking your way across the entire continent and beyond? Too bad that Agents have the Acrobatics skill as their major skill, thus ... yeah. Same with Hand-To-Hand when you are around decently-leveled and away from other hostiles because well, 2 words: punching Scribs.
My personal rule for any ES game lol SNEAK EVERYWHERE!! 🤗
Your graphics look great... are you using a graphics enhancement mod in these videos?
This is so useful thank you I wish I knew all that you do about Morrowind
i just got the game and i was wondering why couldnt hit damn thing.... i didnt know what stamina was for because i could run and jump when it was at 0 so i thought it did nothing....
Thank you so much. This game is very in-depth.
Wow, I started this game today and came across Waterbreathing too. Was also the first book I read here, I dunno, somehow it was interesting. But damn, I will cheack out that old site, thanks for the tip!
Let no man say before a witness that the hunt has not been called.
You have some nice loading screens :D
How Big is the Map of Morrowind? I show it on my channel!
Biggest in-game tip. find Maiq, talk with M'aiq, ask M'aiq about liches, ask M'aiq about naked liches, and finally ask M'aiq about a shrine.
I know youre british when you compare a screwdriver to wielding a sword
I would imagine that the whole reason people get stuck or wedged in objects. Is just a selling point for divine intervention Scrolls
I tried to install the Morrowind Code Patch with Nexus Mod Manager and it won't fully download. It says "Morrowind Code Patch can't be added"
Jake Azz Yeah I got it working a while back, but thank you for the response anyway
Downloaded it and it worked but then stopped randomly. I deleted it and redownloaded it, but it won't work anymore. If I try to pull up the construction set, it won't have access to Morrowind's files. I don't know what to do :(
Its cool with the windwalker scroll however it only lasts 60 sec. What you should do is get yourself a bottle with levitation magic, be it cheap bottle or quality, doesn't matter, and then go to the shine in the city of Vivec, which is in the temple cantoon and give bottle of levitation as an offering to the shrine what you get is very fast levitation magic but it lasts A LOT longer than 60 sec. You can preety much cover the whole map with it. Also a good tip here is that if you find this levitation comforting, then use mark on the shrine, so when it runs out, just cast recall and teleport yourself back to the shrine, give another bottle, and fly again, problem solved :-).
+Nenad Djordjevic And after you get the 100 points of Levitation fly over to the Fields of Kummu and make offering there as well (i believe it's Muck) for 100 points of Feather (for i believe the same amount of time) to fly even faster!
What fuggin overhaul are you using? Please gimme a link that sh!t looks amazing
+Paul Baker It's rondo's graphics extender
amazing guide, new to the game this really helped me out. Thanks! (:
i really like your voice...as well as this game. been playing for a week now and its pretty much my favorite.
Good ol' guide
Hi JustRed. Wow, your bids are brilliant, and man!...you really know your Morrowind! Your alchemy tutorial was the best thing since I started playing (few months ago). I can create any potions I want now, & far superior to anything I could buy (thanks to you, and the UESP Wiki, ofc;)
Hmm, I just installed the Morrowind Overhaul Mod earlier, and man...its a bit scary! I dunno...maybe I'll get used to it...'Loading Area' takes a fair bit longer (my hardware is all pretty old...'Dwemer'...some might call it, but what about the 'Good Old Days' of making Arille look like a freak by selling him Tarhiels' Robe along with a Dark Brotherhood Helm, which ofc, he instantly dons. Eeeehh...there should be a law against that man!!...but slightly amusing ;) All the Best...
Do another one
Awesome guide! You just got a new subscriber!
Do doors really help ? I literally keep EVERY doors open in every dungeons and crypts to tells "this room is completed", will that slowdown Morrowind ?
Probably on Xbox cuz of how it stores data, but idk on pc
You should add that in oblivion and skyrim the console commands are basicly the same
thank you for the video.
Never get tired of this game )) love it, really )
They don't make games like this one anymore
How do scrolls work? Is it like Skyrim how you just use them once or does it give something permanent?
You equip them, active your magic stance (R), and attack. The scroll will be used and destroyed. They are like Skyrim.
Did anybody else read the book as she flipped through it? The irony! XD
Is the Morrowind Patch Project essential or can I go with just the Code Patch?
One more thing, I don't want any game changing or game balancing fixes. I just want to fix the bugs. Which patch is best for that? Morrowind Patch Project or Code Patch?
Wow this really help, Thanks
Instead of the Scrolls of Windwalking I use the boots of blinding speed and the levitate spell
+Robin Bernardinis good combination, silly speed + levitate :D
*quick tip/n00b hack* when wearing the boots of blinding speed, simply use night eye magic potion spell etc. Etc. It counters the blind effect so say night eye of 50 for 30secs, you'll get a darker screen, an easy illusion spell, and ridiculous speed for spamming your way across the fast traveless landscape. You're welcome
Paul Baker I used the 100% resist magic for 1 sec, equipped the boots real fast and then I could see and even fight with the boots on. However, because of a glitch, I permanently have the +200 speed bonus, and if I equip the boots, it becomes +400!
Robin Bernardinis ooh that's clever haha I never thought about that one before xD
do one on spellcrafting
wait... you can run!?
Hey, JustRed...what mods are you using for the running animation?
So he always sells Windwalker, but you have to pay 1762 gp for each one?
I have the xbox version.. Does that mean I'm fucked when I comes to glitches and stuff?
pretty much so ide suggest saving often
I doubt your PC cannot run a game from 2002 so just buy it.
I've been going around in circles in Vivec for nearly a couple in game days now just trying to find a certain wizard :P
hehe there's also someone in ald'rhun mages guild, but she's usually 'activated' by mistake so I left her out :p
how did u make ur guy walk normal,in my game he walks al wonky and wierd
***** Your wonky walking is vanilla. He added mods.
***** Ikr? and he hunches over like he searches for a penny on the ground when he runs on vanilla
Are playing as an Argonian or Khajiit?
I got the GOTY-Edition of the game via an German Magazine called "Computer BILD Spiele" for like 5 bucks.
So my question is, can i somehow activate or fully include this game in my Steam library and is this so called patcher compatible with the German version off this game.
O and before i forget, i tried pretty much everything to get the nexus modd manager running. Nevertheless this bloody programm just ain't working.
I like to ask for help and i don't care if you answer me in English or in German, just make the instructions as simpel as it get.
;)
Thank you kindly.
Nein, meines Wissens funktioniert das mit Steam nicht. Es gibt außerdem kaum Mods, die mit dem Modmanager installiert werden können

thanks for the video
That heavy breathing. we need you at 0 fatigue more often ;)
could someone link me a vid to help me intsall mcp
learn to use the user commands best tip ever
I don't recommend picking Athletics as a major or minor skill. I consider this skill the most frustrating of all to train manually because you only get +0.03% per second of swimming, regardless of how fast you're moving or any of your other attributes. Yes, you can just swim into the wall in the Balmora river using the autorun key and leave the game running, but it still takes nearly an hour of constant swimming to get a single level in Athletics, and who wants to leave the game running for over 9 hours? This is usually the only skill for which I'll use the master trainer.
I love your accent. Where are you from?
Dude your videos are so fucking helpful man!
I never grind easy skills. I always bring them up with commands. It saves time.
thats cheating though, its not about saving time. Its about playing the game.
Code patch too hard to install.
***** I didn't even try to do anything lol
***** Dunno
***** Probably
+Johnny Boy but i still love you tho
It won't work with the cracked version. You need the disk for it and not the pirated version.
I know this is almost 3 years old but you have good MW Information. Thanks.
For those wanting a map get the MW Interactive map. Handy with dual monitors.
mw.modhistory.com/download-55-15437
There is a faster way to improve that Athletics skill. Instead of running go swimming! In Balmora you can do it safely with no slaughterfish. Near the bridges there are some corners against which you can start stroking. Swimming increases Athletics faster than running. It even increases while swimming at a slow pace.
why would you grind athletics when its easiest skill to train by just playing the game.
same as acrobatics.
+Harry Bobson Thanks xD
There is a better way to get out of a wedge or something type "fixme" it shouldn't fuckup the actors or anything.
lol i have my menu set up exactly like yours
So wait. Is there no big penality for running and jumping everywhere? I thought that would screw up my stats so I tried walking everywhere I go.
Unless you want to do perfect leveling, no. But there are always glitches to solve these kinds of things.
This is a good video and I enjoy it, but i'm going to have to correct you on something.
Fatigue has nothing to do with hitting targets. It depends on your agility and the agility of the npc attacking you.
The only thing fatigue affects during combat is when your completely out of fatigue and a npc hits you, you'll fall to the floor unable to move.
What allows you to get up from being knocked over is if you have about 2 or 3 seconds for your fatigue to recover, if it doesn't you'll stay down.
What i just stated above also applies to npc's losing fatigue and falling down, its most noticeable when you use hand to hand combat on npc's.
Since hand to hand combat depletes the targets fatigue.
no need to correct me, it's not wrong :p
Fatigue is actually a BIG factor in combat, unless it's modded out.
"The lower your Fatigue drops, the harder it is to successfully perform actions like attacking and casting spells" (from the manual)
I've been playing morrowind since 2003 (pc, xbox) and recently got back into playing vanilla morrowind 3 years ago,
I agree with you that low or no fatigue makes combat very difficult or close to impossible, (because you can't move)
but technically, according to the way the stats and combat system works fatigue has no real effect or impact on hit chance, agility does.
My opinion on what the game manual says, "The lower your Fatigue drops, the harder it is to successfully perform actions like attacking and casting spells"
Is that bethesda probably said that in their manual for new players,
instead of explaining to them the complex mathematical equations determining hit chance with stats so they wouldn't discourage new players and sell more copies of the game.
But overall,
My point is... (based on the combat system and stats)
that fatigue (technically) does not affect hit chance AT ALL.
After doing some research
"en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Combat"
I found out that fatigue does afftect hit chance.
I apologize.
Ironically, even though many people whine and bitch about Morrowind game mechanics, in comparison, I find more engrossing and actually more logical than mechanics in TES IV or V. They're closer to 2nd Edition AD&D mechanics, which is where the Arena and Daggerfall dev team cut their teeth in RPG's. Frankly, modded Skyrim with SkyRe or Requiem just makes TES V an even more tedious button monster mash. Best modded mechanics for TES game is IMO, hands down Deadly Reflex 5 with climbing from Maskar's Overhaul... mega fun and fairly stable.
thanks. we all know how to play Morrowind. my game 13 years ago came with a manual and a map. choosing to shoot an arrow is weaker than using fists. fists first with the tiny ones. acrobatics will increase with every jump. i'm done with this child.
+Ronald Brandt Sorry but I'm not sure what...
When I bought at release I also got a map and a manual, modern digital copies however, do not. Most people aren't even aware there's a pdf manual available. The archery thing was actually a fatigue demonstration, but not all people like to use hand-to-hand anyway, especially on a first playthrough. You lost me with the child bit I'm afraid though.
13 years on, Morrowind still has new players every day :)
i don't do online games. however, i have played morrowind 3 times full with the manual and the 2nd run through, i killed the god. that killed the game as well. i'm ready for #4 now this is the best rpg ever made. i need to purchase a new comp. and am close.then? i think i'll vacation for 3 weeks just to get to know the game again.
Alas I play on Xbox
Goddamn it, stop asmr'ing me ffs ahah jk :P
I'm in America. We don't wave screwdrivers; we wave proper rifles 😂
Are you a guy or a girl?
You know nothing jon snow
Can you do a guide of some sort on how to download the code patch, I put everything in the right folder and launched the application for the code patch but none of the settings show up when I load it, just a small window that pops up in a corner and then quickly disappears. I am using the steam version of morrowind GOTY edition.
