Funny fact my city park has almost the exact setup as the Seyda neen area even to the left where the flying man with the scrolls is so every time I walk through the park this plays in my head because in game they look almost identical 😂
@@L.Bomrek Morrowind's a gem. Played it recently too, improved graphics a bit but still not as good. But no matter. The gameplay is something I've never seen before, so flexible and...fun.
rohan shishkebab I never heard Morrowind's soundtrack before hearing the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim. I guess I remembered hearing the music whenever I was traveling along the ash lands of Solstheim and finding out that Falx Carious was featured in a previous elder scrolls game, AND the fact that Morrowind's bloodmoon DLC took place on Solstheim made me wonder what he was like back then. I found a video of Falx as captain in the bloodmoon DLC and somewhere in the video some music that I recognised from Dragonborn, which caught me off guard because I never heard Morrowind's soundtrack before. Later I looked for the ambience music from Dragonborn's Solstheim and the description also mentioned some of the music being from Morrowind, then after hearing some of Morrowind's music for once, while recognising it from Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC I then knew that Dragonborn's soundtrack hails from Morrowind's
Fantastic game, even though most of dialogue it text-based, and vanilla graphics were basic by modern standards. But do install MGE XE and AI-enhanced textures, and it looks amazing!
20 hours into Morrowind right now myself. Absolutely loving it. Skyrim got too bland for me and over playing it with mods essentially was just killing it and trying to recapture what once was when I played a decade ago. Morrowind is so different and unique, the lore is so rich. You feel genuinely important, but mysterious to you as to why.
@@BillionairesArentYourFriendssee, I’m the total opposite. I think Skyrim’s the best since you don’t have the ability to go for whatever kind of play style you want in a given moment which I really really dislike in Morrowind (or every TES game before Skyrim). I get that’s the point of an RPG and/or TTRPGs but I hate it
@@discycatI agree! Skyrim is definitely my favorite TES game, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing Morrowind and Oblivion. I haven't been able to play Arena or Daggerfall yet, but I hope to one day be able to. May your road lead you to warm sands, my friend!
Mr. Vorin Dagoth, sir, can you PLEASE cut it off on the whole blight storms thing? We are really only left to expect blighted cliff racers midration to fittingly finish 2020
Yeah but... ALMSIVI are all but dead during the Red Year... Alamalexia killed Sotha Sil, Nerevar killed Almalexia, and Vivec? He nutted so hard his physical body ascended
I knew this Background music from the Dragonborn DLC. Yes, I'm starting my elder scrolls series from Skyrim. I was hoping I could start from morrowind but then I only got the chance to buy skyrim instead...Now I kinda regret not starting from Morrowind first
old comment but now that you've bought skyrim don't buy morrowind buy oblivion next see if you like that because jumping from skyrim to morrowind will probably make you stop playing morrowind even with mods
I took this arrow right in the feels... EDIT: 3 years later I come back to this song, I forgot I wrote that comment :p That was some hard meme'ing right there.
I’ve never played Morrowind, yet whenever this song plays in Skyrim I feel that sense of nostalgia. It’s such a homey tune and I just love wandering around Severin Manor while this plays in the background.
This theme was Elder Scrolls for me. This game was my first experience with the series. I had no idea what to do. I was overwhelmed. I literally got killed by a mudcrab when i got off the boat and i was like " Forget this! "
simply beautifully balanced, definitely one of my favorite classical songs ever, and it creates so much of the atmosphere of the game while exploring, I love this song one of the most dedicated soundtracks to a game
I'm happy for you mate, it really brings back memories doesn't it? It just embodies the idea of an old school rpg so well and the climate of morrowind as a whole too. I love it
The first elder scrolls I've played. I'll play this game forever. Even when we have newer ones. I will play this over them. This is legendary. The music hits me with the nostalgic feels that I want to cry due to the remembrance of the simple times : childhood.
:::=^)) one of.the best games ever created! Wish some one would try again to make a great game and not worry about getting rich immediately from cash grabs and in game monetization!!!! Imagine if Bethesda just went old school and remastered Morrowind, I think they would sell out for sure, they would make money we all get a great game back that doesn't feel like it has walls in it or that your led along into the story line but instead let you feel truly free in the world they have created for you!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE LOL. :::=^)
@Bifröst Beberast I will try my best to help anyway I can, this needs to happen!! I am excited for ES6 but I'm not going to hold my breath that it will be as epic because they have been making so many mistakes after skyrim!!! Lolol I'm going to go play skyrim right now as this has peaked my interest!! Thanks for the reply
Morning in some village of teenager dream, world is waking up and you are ready for another adventure to come in the world of unknown. Are you ready outlanders?
Its crazy how many hours I put into morrowind as a kid. I would come home from school everyday and spend hours just wandering around and finding hidden caves and dungeons to explore. I wish they would do a remake of this game.
"With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created." Takes me back...
I've always had trouble getting into Morrowind until recently. It's not that I think it's bad, far from it (it's now close to being tied with Oblivion for my favorite, tho I have a lot of nostalgia for Oblivion so I don't think it'll ever be topped). The die roll esque combat always just made me not want to play due to how frustrating it is. That mixed with how you essentially NEED to build your own class to play made it difficult for me to enjoy. Then the quarantine started and I started playing it for real. Once I got past the combat, i.e. I used a mod. Sue me (I'll use base combat next playthrough for sure though), I really started to enjoy the game. The lack of a real fast travel system, while annoying at first (again, spoiled by later games, and Daggerfall) really helps sell the immersion. You have to walk places, or pay for a SIlt Strider or boat. You have to explore, you can't just warp back and forth for quests and I love it. I love the world, the visuals (I have an odd appreciation for older, dated 3D graphics), the music (obviously), the quests are fun (though I find myself less doing quests and more just exploring places, stealing shit, selling it, going exploring again, rinse and repeat), just everything is wonderful and I understand why it's so highly praised now. TLDR Coronavirus made me love Morrowind.
Honestly, dice roll combat is the reason I love this game. Dice roll combat Insane customization (for the time) Awesome armor design Great narrative Great sound (especially music) And 2 absolutely amazing expansions
@@lthotpocket8259 well like I said, I'm a bit spoiled by Oblivion and Skyrims combat systems (i.e. If your sword connects with the enemy, it hits), but I'll definitely go vanilla combat my next playthrough. TES in general is probably my favorite ARPG series for the open endedness, lore, and immersive worlds.
Warrior classes need a bit of Agility to actually land attacks. Missing attacks pretty much goes away by level 10 if you’re building correctly and utilizing the right equipment: there’s pretty powerful stuff to be found right outside of Seyda Neen if you know where to go. People vastly over estimate the difficulty:complexity of Morrowind because they lack the patience and focus to get outside of the early game, and most gamers have the lost the ability to think about side the box and go at a slow pace/do their own discovery or investigation because the last decade has been over saturated with completely dumbed down systems that basically play the game for you.; they tell you where to go, what to get by giving you complexity immersion breaking quest markers, easy:gimmicky combat systems and tons of brainless fast travel systems that take all connection away that a player can develop with the game world. Now it’s just “run there, kill that, fast revel back, run to the quest giver, dump a few points, sell a crapload of useless junk, craft OP item, repeat. No real time and effort required to cultivate anything. Sprint everywhere; fast travel as much as possible, kill Everything, spam the same shit over and over, never stop to explore or appreciate the new word around you.The average gamer is totally braindead like a zombie. Btw, you can also fast travel via the Mage’s Guild teleportation system. Fast travel is good thing, but it needs to be a thing you unlock/earn, as opposed to a system feature available from the start.
"Stand up, there you go. You were dreaming. What’s your name? Well, not even last night’s storm could wake you. I heard them say we’ve reached Morrowind, I’m sure they’ll let us go. Quiet, here comes the guard." -Saint Jiub, 3E 427
I never played Morrowind, but I knew about this song. I had spent several years away from Skyrim, returned, I heard it in the background, and was immediately hit by a brick wall of nostalgia. It's such a beautiful piece of music.
This makes me think of climbing the slopes of Red Mountain, Ice Blade of the Monarch in hand, as I began my search for the tools of Kagrenac. Oh, the nostalgia is real.
Never really cared for elder scrolls until I forced myself into playing Morrowind after being in my backlog for such a long time. The sheer sense of exploration alone makes the game the most definite open world CRPG to date.
My favourite part is when the opening “echos” like at 1:52 I was introduced to TES when Skyrim came out (I was 7 at the time in 2011), got ESO in 2015, and in 2020 I finally played Morrowind and Oblivion for the first time, this song got instantly stuck in my head , and was a pleasure to hear in Solstheim. Skyrim was a big part if my childhood so it’s obviously my favourite, and I’m glad it introduced me to the franchise. Playing through Oblivion to see if I can finally finish it lol
I just started Morrowind a few months ago. While Peaceful Waters is better than this, this ain't so bad either. Morrowind is clearly the best of all the ES games.
"Stand up. There you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?" "We'll, not even the last night's storm could wake you. I heard them say we've reached Morrowind, I'm sure they'll let us go." "Quiet, here comes the guard."
This was the most special game I've ever played. Nothing will come closer nowadays, mostly because how culture and bussines is shaped when it comes to games. This game was hostile as f**k when first playing it (something crazy for "modern standards", where most games have to lead you as if you were a kid). It felt like a world where you were literally an NPC. I was kinda shocked when I couldn't kill like the ~3 guys or so in a cave near Seyda Neen. Thinking about it in retrospective, it was kinda "Souls-like" years before souls-like were a thing. The most insignificant thing could kill you, even a worm. But if you don't give up, you started to discover more and more things, and you progressed slowly in that hostile world. And the game became better and better. Today's games needs to show you everything they had quick, like if they were a tiktok video. There is not the same place for discovery and amussements as back in the days. Mostly because doing something like that in a AAA game is risky. I also remember gifting it to a friend in highschool, and I loved it how different our games were. Totally different game styles and approaches to the same game. Morrowind was freaking special and someone who didn't experience it in the day will ever understand.
As much as I couldn't get into the combat system of Morrowind, I still have mad respect for this game. It totally brought the series into full 3D and had deep RPG elements to it that were great. I'll admit it though, I largely preferred Oblivion (heresy, I know) and even Skyrim, but I DO see the appeal this one had.
Morrowind: fighting nix hounds, guars, cliff racers, kagouti, blighted alits under mossy mushroom trees Skyrim: fighting wolves, bears, dragons - like we’ve already seen in every medieval fantasy fiction forever and ever. I’ll suppose I have to give oblivion and Skyrim another go - I’m not a s’wit but how can you top the Dunmer? When I first met them at 12 I was so scared of their glowing red eyes heehee
