MORROWIND NECROMANCY ONLY CHALLENGE IS BROKEN - Morrowind Is A Perfectly Balanced Game 

Depressing fact: I was old enough to drink when this game came out because I am as old as the very land beneath your feet.

This game can buy a gunn Todd!

Sadly, I played it back then, and it wasn't even my first (or second) Elder Scrolls game - though I gave up on Arena when I kept falling through dungeon floors and dying.

Spiff, I was 12 yo when this game came out. And I loved it then lol

TTW 3 Nurgel :V pls Captain King Spiff, it needs to be broken

I imagine most murder hobo brains would look at that insect like creature and assume the worst and attack it outright.

What's more, it emphasizes this is a world, not just a game designed for you to beat. Not everything is easy just because you're starting.

@@tyrongkojy it's sad seeing modern games slowly forget the time honored tradition of, "fuck around and find out"

@@mogim815 there are some, but not many. Elex instantly comes to mind. You relied on combat drugs, a power suit, and IAI for everything your whole life, and just lost all that. You start sucking. You're lucky you know how to READ.

@@mogim815I always loved ff12 having a random T-Rex in the first combat area XD it won’t attack you unless you attack it first at least

That is a criminal offence on this channel

Its funny because its true.

could you please explain what it means?

You'd better have lapped that tea of the floor Mister or soo help me!

That was hilarious, yes. :)

Yeah, and then you have games like cod warzone that look basic and are half a terabyte

Right? Mind-blowing!!

​@DingaLingu I mean modern COD looks incredible. If you showed it to someone when morrowind came out they wouldn't beleive it was a real time game. Also its like 150GB so thats a slight exaggeration lmao.

@@slothonastick32 hahahahahaha

It also restarted the entire Xbox during loading screens to help with memory load

Sometimes, there is a reason why an expensive-looking item collecting dust in a dungeon hasn't already been grabbed by someone else...

Now I love the idea of some ancient dwemer who died and cursed the dwarven beer that took him in. Only for some random adventurer to shop up thousands of years later, take the beer, summon the ghost of the dwemer and beat him up. On for the adventurer to throw the bottle away and pick it up again, summoning the ghost again. And again and again. And the dwemer cursing himself for cursing the beer, because now he will be in an endless cycle of death and undeath to satisfy the curiosity of some random nord who wants to have a laugh.

Also after winning this amazing battle he could just get rid of all the minion bodies to get to the dremora. Morrowind had this function for optimization, to reduce the strain that the bodies would put on the low-end PCs of that time.

I was so confused when that happened to me the first time! I knew there wasn't any enemies left and then some spirit thing attacked me! Killed me. I did it again, triple checked, no one around, then attacked! I think it is an awesome little detail in the game, but it can throw you for a whammy the first time when you don't expect it.

Oh they’re supposed to be cursed? I always thought they were offerings to whichever deity and you were attacked for stealing from the deity lol

Yes, and then you see them run, and remember they can't wear shoes, or half the helmets in the game.

Yeah, I preferred their Morrowind approach to the later designs which are more "human-cat" than "cat race"

Found the furry.

​@@Facepalm9 the new khajits are more furry

​@@Facepalm9Hope the furries don't find you.

Pretty handy for the ubiquitous dark elves, as they have natural fire resistance.

"Oh no, he is resistant to magic" But he isn't resistant to weakness to magic" *proceeds to make a spell that combines 100 weakness to magic with a destruction spell.

And if you got the "GOTY" edition you got a disc with the game editor along with the expansion packs to create your own items, spells, etc. Good times until Oblivion and the horse armor dlc.

@@Dherkin_McGhurken Morrowind came with the construction set on release. In fact, the GOTY release had some bugs because it included the unpatched editor from the first release.

@@JSheepherder I did not know that, now I have a 3rd excuse to cope with all the re-installs I had to do to revert the modded files. Here I was blaming my "nuke" spells that if the game didn't insta crash took 30 minutes for the game to process all the of "threads of fate" messages of all the npcs killed and my Duron 950 simply just not handling it. 🤣

Dude you just gave me flashbacks of my map! Yes, so many notes and scribbles on it. So worn it looks like some sort of treasure map 😅

I've still got my map

Daedric tower shield of *pew pew pew*

The only game where the status of mage more meant you had heavily enchanted heavy armor warrior build with any amount of magicka you wajted between negatvie 2 and 100

I refused to actually kill any "important" enemies I wasn't required to kill, and instead trapped them in soul gems. Not to use in enchantments, no. Just to have a collection of literal *GODS* clinking around in my pockets. What a game.

He knows how to honor the Six House and the Tribe Unmourned.

Honestly, if Argonia was a place on Earth rather than Nirn we know what the English Empire would have done to it :p

​@@dylanvolckaert404Nah. The Black Marsh is impenetrable by those who do not belong. Not even Tiber Septim himself could overcome the might of the Hist!

@@MartinFinnerup Dang, you're right. I think one of my favourite lore tidbits is where during the Oblivion Crisis at the end of the Third Era, every corner of Tamriel was getting invaded. Every corner except the Marsh where the Argonians were counterinvading the Deadlands instead xD

​@@MartinFinnerupNeither could the legions of a deadric prince. They learned the hard way to never invade the Argonian homeland.

if you just murder people and rez them, no need for all that digging. Even just, some enemy you were gonna kill anyway, slaver, assassin, etc. Use a corpse to do the work for you. That's, like, the point. Necromancy for dummies, indeed.

@@KeithElliott-zd8cx well you can always use the shovel to kill your enemies

The fresher the corpse the stronger the construct...

@@0zz1k5 dresden files, other way around, weirdly

@@captaindonut9243 fair. But not 'correct' use of a shovel.

Indulge even

I don’t drink tea, but I still enjoy the video.

I am a simple human. I see SpiffingBrit. I toss tea in the harbor. I click. I enjoy.

Womp womp

can´t like it needs to stay at 69 :( but i like the comment imaginery

I know you're joking, but the Hist canonically changed the Argonian adult form to be something more draconic, intimidating, and dangerous in combat after the Oblivion Crisis.

@@passingrando6457 now we just need to know what lore reason they came up with to explain how the resolution and animations of reality itself got un-janked from era to era.

@@Hellimatrix already do. Khajiit take one of 17 different forms based on the phase of the moons at the time of their birth. Not genetic, any type can give birth to any type. Each game only represents one subtype of khajiit, though. TES1 uses the Ohmes, TES2 the Ohmes-raht, TES3 used the Suthay-raht, and Cathay for TES4 and 5. _Most_ of the khajiit types are humanoid, but the largest and smallest types are just cat shaped, with the Senche-raht being sentient tigers larger than a horse, and the Alfiq being impossible to tell from a housecat until they start talking or cast a fireball or something at you.

@@Hellimatrix pardon me, I thought you said Khajiit. Actually, did you before the edit to your comment? Leaving it up just in case anyone was curious.

@@passingrando6457 I did, but then I remembered they explained the Khajiit's changing forms via the phases of the moons.

Thank you RU-vid very cool

@@thespiffingbrit are you friends with someone in RU-vid? Or are you RU-vid?

Shat

hi youtube wanna hear about the time I ate glass

​@@XENOWOLFI I do

Turns out legal assassination has loopholes. Who would have thought?

You insult anyway and kill people for free that way, it also works if you have a frenzy 100 for 1 second spell. I use to do that so much to kill ordinators and sell their armor and weapons to the mudcrab merchant for a ton of septims, since their gear was worth like 30,000

If Spiff is the Nagash of Morrowind, then who is Setra the Imperishable?

Reanu keaves ​@@evinbraley

Nagash before he acquired the biggest popehat

'At turbonerd ain't nuffing a'ains' Gorkamorka!

@@acdhipnose1791 you mean his bone-enhanced colovian fur helm?

his not, his just re- edited it an old video or posted an old one that wasn’t posted. his voice/ tone is different here compared to more recent vids watch vids from couple years ago compared to more recent

Do the summon exploit with golden saints. Bloody hilarious.

The enchants worked, but casting instantly isn't necessarily a boon, since it is the timing gap between the On Self effect and the On Target effect triggering that makes the glitch work.

Enchant is much better since its instant, make 20 rings with summon skeleton for 185 seconds one named skeleton01 up to skeleton20, you can quickly cast them with the hotkey buttons the one who cycle spells alphabetically. Summon Skeleton Servant 01 ... Summon Skeleton Servant 20 why 20? is just because its a good enough number to storm places and you can still move around. I have found a fix for the slowness of skeletons, you can boost them temporarily with that specific spell: fortify speed 50 for 40 seconds in 50 foot on touch. Make 2 of these like that: Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 02 or if you want a bit more duration make 3: Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 02 Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 03 But if you really want fast buff to minions make rings instead with: Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 02 or Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 02 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 03 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 04 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 05 if you dont wanna pay 100k to make a ring you can use alchemy to boost temporarily your intelligence to around 3k to make the enchants yourself. For a necro the typical game hotkeys should be like that: 1. a cheap soultrap 19 sec and paralysis 1 sec mace. 2. 10 sec paralysis spell 3. Summon Skeleton Servant 01 (cycle up to 20) 4. Summon Dremora 01 (cycle just up to 02, i treat them as elite units so they should be rarer and used in specific scenarios) 5. Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 (cycle up to 02) spell or magic rings, recommended the latter. 6. Typical made health potion 7. Typical made magicka potion 8. Typical made stamina potion 9. Ring of Restore Faigue 2 pts and constant effect invisibility (used to run away if things get nasty) For roleplay i console command my endurance down to 10 at start of game so when i reach max level i just end up like with 105 health on my high elf. earlygame is the hardest, you rely a lot in potions specially magic ones and spells. Mid game lategame you move to enchants, they are much more efficient and faster to cast. Hoard as much as possible exquisite rings in your adventures, you will need them all. I never recommend doing the method of brit video, it breaks the game. It gets overpopulated with skeletons who cant keep up with you in speed. They bloat the savegame since they are permanent.

@@LtCommanderTato replying here so I don't forget about this information when I play morrowind later

The SAS are on route to your location. I suggest you get your affairs in order

If it _is_ nailed down it's probably a puzzle :D

@@thespiffingbrit 😎

@@jinnturtle That just means there's loot to look forward to.🤣

I cast left click in creative mode!

Yes! I always found Oblivion too restrictive in what spells I'm _allowed_ to even cast. MW just gives me a chance of success and I'm allowed to try to cast any spell there is.

You can do spellcrafting without joining the mages guild in Oblivion if you have a few thousand gold and the Frostcrag Spire house DLC. Just buy the candles and you're good to go. Rewards from the Arena questline are usually enough. Still though it sucks they took it out. They also took levitate and jump out entirely because they switched to cities being cells themselves, and they didn't want people hopping over the walls -.-

These days there's a mod that fixes all (and I do mean all, I mean it's been 20 years) crashes called Morrowind Code Patch. It can optionally fix some exploits too but who would ever want that?

@@delayed_control Oh cool, i've always been worried to try mods because the game was too unstable.

@@delayed_control I also love the bug where the Unarmored skill doesn't actually _do_ anything unless you're wearing at least _one_ piece of _actual_ armor

And then the document you need is no longer in your inventory and you had to remember where you sold it.

"Stop dying you cowards!"

Glad you enjoyed it!

You can also choose the moonshadow sign and sneak behind him, making sure he is facing away. Then you take it, which ends your invisibility, but generally with a high enough sneak you get the key. Since the key weights nothing and is worth nothing you don’t need a very high sneak to do this.

Or you can you can know, steal the limeware platter.

@@HarveyDangerLurker You get way more stuff with the key though

@ghost-user559 ash yams and bloat is an unlimited money cheat with the masters alchemy kit. 30 minutes and your CHIM.

@@HarveyDangerLurker or you can do both
