Kind of want to see some necromancer try their hand at resurrecting Lorkhan with the heart. Thouuuuugh one look at the ash spawns in Morrowind nowadays shows that it might be a cosmically bad idea.
@@cyborgcatrj6794 Lorkhan already returned in Talos Tiber Septim was a Shezarrine, the avatar of Lorkhan that means him becoming a divine can also indicate Lorkhan's return that's why Thalmor wants to erase Talos
I'm not convinced he was the bad guy per se. None of the factions you work for are 'the good guys' so its all really just shades of gray. With how much propaganda there is in Morrowind, particularly surrounding the Tribunal (Who really only want him gone to protect their own power) its hard to say everything we know about him is even true or just more lies. Even Azura just wants these dissidents gone so the empire can swoop in and convert everyone to her religion (The Imperial Cult, or religion of the Nine Divines). She says its about the blight but by the end of the game, you ought to be more clever than to take her at her word.
@@Shmandalf He isn't a "bad guy" he want's to establish a theocracy and while that is usually not a good thing in our world, deities exist in TES so having a theocracy isn't that outlandish, his other goals were to reclaim lands taken from the Dunmer and drive out the Empire that has taken over and subjugated Morrowind. He is a freedom fighter in essence and honestly that isn't a bad thing, it depends on how you go about it and what kind of society you want to establish once free. The US once were freedom fighters against the british, but so are the Taliban, so it isn't inherently good or evil to be a freedom fighter. Now you could call his plan to kill non dunmer bad, but again to him they are invaders that are taking advantage of the dunmer aka "if you hadn't invaded us and taken advantage of us we wouldnt be killing you for doing what you did" You could say that is to extreme but TES isn't a modern world with modern ethics, in the TES universe such a thing is maybe a little above the avarage thing to do. I mean the Empire is beheading anyone even associated with the Skyrim freedom fighters, so Dagoth wanting to kill the Imperials isn't something out of the ordinary. The biggest point for me why I don't think he is a "bad guy" per se is that he planned on uniting the dunmer not by force or threats but by using his charisma to persuade them to join him. Now we don't know if that would have worked and what he would have done if it didn't but at least he wasn't planning to supress and kill his own people from the start.
@@harz632 I don't think he is either. He was betrayed by his best friends, left to rot, and left to his own devices. Idk how else anyone could handle it, he tried to unite the Dunmer in a way that wasn't accodring to the Tribunal's plan. And it almost worked too!
He is a bad guy is the most basic sense that he turns people into zombies, brain washes them and sends diseases to spread across the lands. Strange how you guys forget that. A pretty face and and a sultry smooth voice and all is forgiven.🤔
I absoultely love the possibilities of the new modern AI but there's something so wonderful about these old YTP style videos. Somehow they feel so authentic
I know that this song is a meme - but honestly, it's such a good tune, and it has... I don't know, a somber, nostalgic feel to it that makes it emotional
It was my first Elder Scrolls game and hope to god now that microsoft bought bethesda we can get a remaster with all the QOL and gameplay of current gen
@@Pepper462Naah, the lack of qol features is what makes Morrowind such a standout even today. Morrowinds extreme clunkyness is part of its charm and what seperates it from modern games. I recently started playing it again parallel to Dragons Dogma 2 and Morrowind is so refreshing in comparism. It's stupidly complicated at times but it still just works.
@@nanatzaya The PC Version's interface is far superior to the sequels... No endless scrolling for one thing in a list that's way too long because it's easy to go full klepto, just pick an item and click it!
I just met him for the first time today. He noticed that I was unprepared and didn't attack me, instead just letting me chill in his cave and browse a cool collection of statues. Literally the best first impression of a final boss I've ever had.
Dagoth - calls you sweet, moon-and-star - lives beyond fire and war - is proud of his heart - is merciful - apparently he's an immortal god - you can't escape him
When I saw this for the first time, I tried to learn his dance moves. What a grand and intoxicating innocence. He is a god, how can I copy a god? Maybe it's not too late for his mercy.
@@KertaDrake I mean just because he sweet talks to you it doesn't mean he doesn't have all the murderous intent of a hundred kittens, but he does make an effort to appear as a gracious host, which is fitting because his primarily method is manipulation.
Its arguably the best part of Morrowind. Each of the characters have motivations/justifications for what they're doing and each have skeletons in their closets. I honestly would have sided with Dagoth if his plan was only to create a divine body for Lorkhan's heart to inhabit. It's literally the rightful god of Nirm. I honestly feel that was Kagrenac's goal from the start. It was Dagoth Ur's account that led to the first council believing the Dwemer intended to use it to take over Morrowind.
Metal is my home genre, but goddamn. This song has all of the right vibes. It honors the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned, and it is so chill that it could keep you cool even through fire and war.
When Dagoth chastizes me and says "shame on you." I feel like such a bad boy with no redeeming value.... But then he finishes the sentence with "sweet nerevar". Magnanimously offering me a second chance at redemption and welcoming me back to the comfort of his glistening but forgiving pectorals.

@@TelcasKimori " if you associate each of the thirty-five listed numbers with a word in its respective sermon, a hidden message is revealed: "He was not born a god. His destiny did not lead him to this crime. He chose this path of his own free will. He stole the godhood and murdered the Hortator. Vivec wrote this. " "As Vehk and Vehk I hereby answer, my right and my left, with black hands. Vehk the mortal did murder the Hortator. Vehk the God did not, and remains as written. And yet these two are the same being" Vehk (Vivecs "mortal" name) murdered Nerevar. Vehk (transformed into a god, Vivec) claims he is a separate being/entity and therefore.. did not murder Nerevar. He is separate but not separate. He is god, and also mortal. He is Vehk, and he is not Vehk.
What I learned from this video: 1) he's a god 2) the prospect of killing a god is questionable at best 3) he finds our innocence both grand and intoxicating 4) it is not too late for his mercy 5) there is no escape
What a fool you are! I'm a god! How can you kill a god?! What a grand and intoxicating innocence! How could you be so naive? There is no escape! No recall or intervention can work in this place! Come, lay down your weapons! It is not too late for my mercy.
I dunno about "false" really. His godhood is as valid as the Tribunal's regardless of his moral compass. And yeah I know it's waay too serious of a reply lol.
Dagoth Ur really was the tragic hero of Morrowind. Against his better judgement, which was to destroy the heart, he was left by Nerevar to guard the heart to consult the Tribunal, who was in a moment of naivety tricked by his Tribunal to claim the power for themselves. After Nerevar was killed, Dagoth Ur knew he could not overpower the Tribunal; he bound himself to the Heart and stood until the Nerevarine returned; by this time Dagoth had become corrupted by the heart but ultimately stood to deter others from claiming it, including the Tribunal. Dagoth tested challengers to the prophecy until the true Nerevarine appeared and destroyed the heart, killing Dagoth in the process, honouring the house unmourned, redeeming the mad and freeing Morrowind from the false gods of the Tribunal.
This is a great summary and exactly why Dagoth Ur is my favorite character in Morrowind and one of my favorites in TES. He is such a complex villain with so much history and lore. Mehrunes Dagon and Alduin the World Eater are pathetically one dimensional by comparison.
You wrong, Nerevar left Dagoth ur to guard heart while he talks to Tribunal, when they decided to keep heart and came back he lost his mind, and Nerevar killed him. After that Sota Sil understood Kogrinacks instruments tribunal killed Nerevar and they became gods (sorry for misspelled names or bad English)
you forgot the part where he also corrupted a whole house worth amount of people, physically deforming them into monsters, and released Blight on morrowind
I've never played Morrowind, but I've always enjoyed the fact that they didn't give Dagoth Ur a typical "villian voice." He sounds more like an orator and I love it.
You should play it! FAR better story than Skyrim, IMO. Very alien. More interesting plots. OpenMW is a thing and the scene is still full of modders. BEWARE: it doesnt play like Skyrim. Skyrim holds your hand, Morrowind abandons you in some backwoods swamp holding the bill. Good times with that game!
@@energyfitness5116 I find it strange Morrowind is such an alien environment and then Oblivion and Skyrim are set in Europe and Scandinavia respectively.
@@SorowFame the Skyrim we got in-game is actually kind of far removed from what the lore says Skyrim was like in older titles, same for Cyrodil. They essentially saw how good the Witcher games sold and slowly turned down the wildness of Elder Scrolls for a more conventional fantasy feel, thus the atypical European settings we ended up with. Old skyrim references talk about jellyfish and Whales "swimming" through the sky and Cyrodil was originally a swampland that Tiber Septum CHIMmed out and remade into habital land for humans.
@@TheGamingBDGR There is a nod to that when you meet Tsun as the Archmage of Winterhold, he laments modern Nords lost their respect of the "clever craft". Even in Morrowind all Nords were capable of powerful frost magic.
