Arx Fatalis Review | LITERALY Morrowind | Questionably Explained 

Me and the boys in the locker room: "My fish bigger!"

You remind me so much of other great youtubers like grimbeard and salt factory. Keep it up and I'm 100% you will be huge ❤

Glad RU-vid recommended this video to me! Good production values for a channel so small, excited to watch your growth. Kind of reminds me of GrimBeard in some ways (especially that intro).

Had to do a double take when I saw your sub count. You definitely deserve way more

I thought YT was bugging out when I saw your low sub count... I clicked your page and was expecting to see 300k not 300! That's actually crazy. Well you got your 380 sub from me. 😎 Looking forward to your future my friend.

Played that game last year for the first time, what a gem!

That narration you gave in the dwarves sounds like johnny bravo

It's curious that you mentioned "Adventure game DNA". A lot of old school RPGs were like this. Killing monsters as main "attraction", main game loop is sign of modern RPG. If you need recommendation Heuristic Park's Wizards&Warriors (2000). Word of advice if you'll decided to try it: if you stuck in geometry - don't panic. What can't be solved by buttons, can work via on-screen controls.

Your video style and format reminds me a lot of The Salt Factory in all the right ways. I've always wanted to try out Arx Fatalis but never did because of my unfamiliarity with the UI. I watched the video all the way through, I really enjoyed the editing and jokes. I can't wait to see what else you make. Great job man! You should be proud. :)

37:27 There is an auto-sort button. Its the brown thing under the journal icon. You have to double click it.

Channel that makes an hour long video talking about a game I've played non stop for 15+ years? yes please. Agree with the other comment, getting Salt Factory vibes, mixed with Grimbeard perhaps? You got great potential, keep it up. I agree with the other comment about the rough edges. Especially around your audio, seems a bit all over the place across the video. But you'll get there with time. All in all though, this was great. Good job!

Only 125 subscribers. Now 126. I will watch your career with great interest.

A very pleasant voice, proper investigation regarding the topic, interesting presentation - subscribed and liked, before You grow to millions of subscribers, so I can boast in the future that "listen to me, little kids, I was subscribed to this channel before you even heard about it" Keep it up kind Sir, all the best to you!

41:50 - This. This drives me *insane.* KotOR let you hack a terminal and get the entire map, with Ubisoft games its’ just a matter of accessing vantage points (save Far Cry 5), but Arx drives me crazy with the lack of ability to 100% the map as well.

Loved this game back in the day. Never finished it as I seem to recall I chose a more ranged / archer style build, which wasn't good towards the end. Subbed 👌

you got a like for the intro music, you were going to get a sub for the subject matter but you get both and a comment for the fresh prince bit

Man messes up saying "ingot" but "immolate" comes out, no problems.

Nice review! Seems like an interesting hidden gem of a game. I feel like I've heard of the title, but knew nothing about it. Now I'm curious to try it out. You've got a fun presentation and a nice dry sense of humor! Subscribed! Btw, what was that game clip at the very end of the video, right before the credits?! Looked very interesting.

This was great. I agree with the other guy that it's similar to Grimbeard but has it's own thing going on. Make more like this on this style of game, this is your wheelhouse.

erm, is that a underrated youtuber right here? YEAH

I used to play this game a long time ago. I like hanging around those snake ladies, hehe, good times. The way I beat this game is with the help of a walkthrough and cheats. And beating the final boss by summoning a big ass rat to fight it.

If you dug this games immersive inventory mechanics, you *NEED* to acquire a Meta Quest 2 or 3, and play the masterpiece Into the Radius. See habie or a wolf in vr's content on that game to see what I mean. You are VERY welcome. Love the content, brother!

I loved this game and I feel like it was ahead of it's time and I wish more games today were like it but with a hearty amount of polish that this game definitely lacked lol.

Not sure how this is "literally Morrowind", but it looks cool. :)

you help to fill a mitten-shaped hole, my friend

FYI while the fast travel gate activating spell isn't in your spell book, it is in your journal. Not a great solution, but there you have it.

yo a new channel that does like hour long videos on old rpgs???? i can't get enough of these. proud of you fam! keep up the stellar work!

Thanks for the vid

funny thing about magic. its OP because the damage is Dice based. Fireball does 1d6 x Lvl damage. Spell level is every 10 skillpoints in casting (all skills only improve at even 10s!). so a high level caster does 10d6 damage with a fireball. with 3 stored up you can do 30d6 damage in less than 3 seconds. Melee is FLAT. a sword does like 6 damage, you get a whopping +1 damage for every 10 points in close combat skill (and 2% crit chance), and at most +3-4 damage from strength. so a maxed out warrior with 20 strength, with a Mithril balde etc does 10+5+10=25 damage for every FULLY charged attack. 10d6 fireball does on average 35 damage from range.

You mention lack of autosort, but I can recall playing original Arx on my old pc and there was a way to sort your inventory

Gave you a sub. Enjoyable review. I think your edges are rough but over time you will smooth out and find your voice. Of course you can do everything right and still struggle in an over-saturated market, but you've got a shot. One thing I would say is that sometimes I just want to hear you talk. Near the end you have this obnoxious, repetitive music while you talk about your conclusions. Cut it out and let me hear you.

9:34 "Beware, we're watching you." really did sound like "We're watching you... scum." As someone who's played Morrowind on and off since it was new, I can definitely see the parallels.

We have grimbeard at home.

this looks like it's making numbers, so your channel might be on the verge of blowing up, congrats. a few points, if you don't mind: you could've elaborated more on the magic system, how you can discover new spells that aren't documented in in-game documents by experimenting with the symbols, reversing formulas and such. and on the immersive sim aspects of the game, like how dough thrown near a fire is baked into bread. also, i'd drop the "i have great trouble pronouncing these fantasy names." orbiplanax and acerbius are on the easier side of fantasy names. if you can say acerbic, you can say acerbius. it feels forced and the joke fell flat for me.

it's so similar to morrowind it's freaky, lots of oblivion parallels as well

The snake woman gave you a book of what now? xD 11:20

Hmm... Another place for the Goth Gamer Nation to gather? Very good then. Edit - omg, I've been no-lifeing MHW, saw the title, and was trying to figure out how Fatalis was connected to Morrowind in any meaningful way. 😅

Man every time I've tried to finish this game it bugs out on me or I lose a required key or some shit. But you know... It HAS been six years, and the most recent Libertatis release WAS two years ago... Maybe the third time's the charm?

Finding out about that cancelled Opposing Force sequel made my body ache.

Your hilarious my dude

There is sort inventory button, when u open inventory you can notice it on the right side between mana bar and journal icon, u press it twice and it sorts it. From the way you played this game it just felt like u had a mindblock that prevented you from understanding and utilizing game mechanics to the full extent and your experience doesn't do game justice, it's build in a way that you can't maximize all your skills, just like SS2 it encourages multiple playthroughs, since you brushed through main quest unenthusiastically, without talking about exploration, few existing side quests or experience with different builds it didn't create a good picture for any viewer interested to try the game themselves and it's a shame.

My God that whole "Affecting a silly voice and speaking in broken English to portray a lack of intelligence" thing from this time period and before is absolutely horrible to listen to.

moarrrr!

God I wish grimbeard was bigger so we would have more channels that take inspiration from him

unlike morrowind, arx fatalis is actually good, even without Mods, Morrowind on the other hand... is a game that only works with hopes, dreams and spaghetti code. like many bethesda games, they got carried by their designer team, lore team and map designers. because the code of bethesda games is extremely dogshit.

Please show me the part of the video in which you compare Arx Fatalis to Morrowind so I can prove you are wrong. I'm not watching this.

14:59 Most would have just cut this out, but you have my respect for keeping in you fumbling pronouncing "manifestation". That "Fuck you." got me good. 🤣 12:08 Oh, and imagine my disappointment when I looked at your channel and you DON'T have a video on Nosferatu. I do hope this is remedied soon.
