I just can't get over how ugly the faces are. He looks more like an insect than en elf Bethesda made the elves look so fkn ugly in the Elder Scrolls games, specially in Morrowind. Elves are usually portrayed as being beautiful and graceful, but they look like monsters in Morrowind And In fact all the Human character's are also ugly in Oblivion, they look derpy af with bloated heads. And in Skyrim they look ugly too, with grotesque features In the 90s games like Battlespire and Daggerfall they had actual Human physiology and features
Dagoth Ur dying actually awoken, his old friend gave him a blessing of sorts, the oh so wished for godlihood. now Dagoth Ur with all his might watches over poor Fargoth and smites whoever is against him.
Fargoth illustrates a lot of Morrowind's grey area. You don't really get punished for doing a lot of evil things "if" you're doing it rather cleverly. Morality systems weren't really in an active effect until Fallout 3, about 5 years later. But ironically, you get SO much more value if you screw over Fargoth AND Hrisskar, getting all the gold, huge reputation gains and a good merchant to acquire lots of wealth fast before your real adventure. And then it gets subsequently contrasted with how you handle the Tax Collector quest if you explore near enough and find that body....you can keep 200 drakes or get 500 if you were a loyal imperial. It's a great way to make a player focus on how their actions will affect their surroundings while trying to maximize value with factions.....and a great way to pay attention to who is doing what for you. You quickly learn how good and bad 100 drakes are for a quest reward, especially with the Fighter's Guild. You learn how fast the Mage's Guild is willing to undercut you for random dangerous tasks. Morrowind may be a clunky mess, but it has so much fun intrigue to it.
I like the implications of the color scheme going on here. where usually red is "evil" blue is "heroic" and everyone caught in the middle is just gray or something. Here though, it gives a vibe that the masses and the villains are forces in opposition, and heroes are a force that disrupts whatever balance that's at. yes my edibles just kicked in.
That’s actually exactly what my thought process was. The masses are usually as an entity “good” to “neutral”. Villains rise above to inflict harm, and heroes rise above to stop them. Yes my edibles kicked in 30 min ago
This is amazing! When I was young playing morrowind, a lot of the time I'd role play doing errands for background npcs (like I'd buy alchemy stuff and bring it to an alchemist). Or I'd sit inside Caius Cosades apartment and keep the skooma addict company while he fought off the withdrawals.
"How free you are to venture in the nude!" omg thank you that's the first time in forever that I've had to pause a video because I was laughing so hard
Yo dog you are a real G bro, love the content, but would also like to see you further explaining to people the ephemeral and complicated idea of soul in video games and how they make some games iconic versus others that are functionally the same or similar.
I'd love to see an NPCpedia on the Duke of Vvardenfell, Vedam Dren. A man too honorable to be a villain, yet too cowardly to be a hero. There's a good amount of nuance and irony with his character. He's more than just his dialogue too. He's afraid to act against his brother. He's afraid to act against the Telvanni and their illegal land grabs. He says Vvardenfell needs a leader to stop all the squabbling and fighting... the Duke of the people is telling you the people need a leader. When you get a land contract from him, he meekly asks you to swear an oath to him that you'll be a good person and all that, and it literally requires nothing more than "I swear" and he just accepts it. He's just an honorable coward.
>give him the ring >better deals from shopkeeper >go upstairs, talk to Nord for quest >go to Lighthouse >wait for Fargoth >take stuff from the stump >get the ring anyway >sell it to the shopkeeper for an even better deal >achieve chim I really wish the shopkeeper recognized the ring and made him tell the guards about it or something.
I was surprised to see that he has 5k subs cause people who make quality videos like this have around 100k or more subscribers. This dude is underrated asf
Today was the first time I actually sat down and played a decent bit of Morrowind, and I actually met Fargoth for the first time, too. Had no idea he was so popular.
I actually think u should do a sheogorath video, no idea how would u call it but im pretty sure u would nailed it, And perhaps magicly influence the algorythm even more, watched almost all of ur video's in one day, really love your content. Take care
God dude my issue with Morrowind when I tried getting into it is the same sort of issue I had with Oblivion that being you gotta make a Class with Attributes and major Skills and shit and only Certain Skills are good with Certain Attributes and you can't be as flexible as you want because you would be avoiding the XP rate you would need. I would love to find a Morrowind Mod that has a Skill Leveling system close to Skyrim as in Skyrim you just mentally choose what skills you wan't to do and stick with it. You can even play a entire playthrough of Skyrim only leveling 2-3 skills at Most.
Luckily Morrowind is my least restarted game. One character went off and died basically instantly and I reinstalled it recently since I have time and never beat it obviously lol. Trying to make a Spearman/Mystic Orc and even though I found the stump I was worried I ruined the quest by directly asking him about his stash because of the high rapport I had with him. Honestly I was hoping he'd explain the situation and offer another solution like who the asshat owes money to and a quest to find the loan shark ballsy enough to knock him off
I know he's kinda annoying but I kinda like the guy. Decades ago when I completed Morrowind, I did multiple playthroughs so I sided with both Fargoth and Hrisskar. But now I'd like to play Morrowind again. And this time, it'd be great to not only side with Fargoth, but to take out that Nord bastard once and for all XD
