You can beat Morrowind without the Main Quest 

"persist in the doomed world you have created" still goes so hard 20 years later

Instead of the real plot of Morrowind, this is a story of a supposedly doomed world where the prophesied hero never came. So some random criminal decided "fuck that", collects the most powerful artifacts in all the land, uses them to kill two gods to save the world, and then dies of exhaustion from overexerting himself during the final battle. That goes so much harder than the actual plot lmao

Azura seeing a random Redguard kill Dagoth ur and leaving Red mountain : "Who the fuck are you ?!"

I personally love how nothing scales with level. It allows me to play the game naturally and not worry about leveling efficiently.

The people of morrowind witnessed a random crack head flying throughout the land killing all the gods and demigods, even destroying the heart of lorkhan, only for him to od on adrenaline and die.

scribs interrupt sleep but you dont actually have to kill them, theyre just checking on you

"It is not too late for my mercy," Dagoth Ur says, stripped of his immortality, burning to death in the magma.

Fun fact: the Daedra speak with your mouth. When you go afk the idle animation is just a slow camera rotation in 3rd person. When that happened during one of the Daedra Prince's monologues I discovered that *I* was the one speaking. I thought it was neat and was disappointment when it was removed from subsequent games, even if it was probably just a hack to make the voices work.

Keep these vids coming, you're filling a hole that formed after Micky D took a break for his health, feeding my addiction to Morrowind videos

Actually, you can "beat" morrowind even without the jury-rigged wraithguard. If you have enough health, you can hotkey swap the dagger into your hand and out of your hand again and again to do all the necessary damage to the heart. You can also use a spear's knockback to just knock Dagoth Ur into the lava and not deal with him for the rest of the fight. I know this because it's how I beat Dagoth Ur on a TES3MP server lol.

For anybody who didn't know: you can really easily get cheap training by making a damage skill spell and reducing your chosen skill to train to 0 for luke 1 or 2 seconds. Training to level 1 will always cost 1 gold, and will still add to your total whenever the skill resets. Makes grinding levels a lot easier without completely emptying your pockets and still guaranteeing you that +5 in whatever attribute you need. It also gets around the whole "You may not train a skill above its governing attribute" thing.

Hey, your previous Morrowind video about Marksmanship is what got me to download and try the game again after bouncing off in the past. I've gotten farther than I ever have before(by which I mean I spoke to shirtless man and have killed at least one cliffracer.)

Thats why I love Morrowind. I realized halfway through my first play I could just go up to Dagoth and win the game once I had enough HP to hold the tools for long enough.

JBN: "Chance to block is based on this equation." Also JBN: "I couldn't find the equation." Why is this so funny?

The sheer overflow of your fatigue bar is simply staggering. I always spent my time in Morrowind totally drained of fatigue, but you manage to always have more than enough! I can tell because it says so on the screen, and there's no way you could fake that.

So cool. I always wanted to do a “backdoor” run. I love that Morrowind made it possible to screw up your game and still finish the main quest. Such incredible roleplaying options.

After watching nerbit and other creators such as him. I was hoping to find a channel that does morrowind challenges. And I did! It is great to be here! I love your channel already

When you have a hammer, every problem become a nail.

"You can also abuse alchemy, but that's for a different video." I'll hold you to it, JBN.

If this was a legend to be told it would never be known the PC was the Nereverine. Just a crazy Redgaurd who wanted all powerful artifacts he could find.

So glad your doing more morrowind videos, I was worried the archery run would be a one off, thank you

Man I love finding Morrowind content like this. It's such a cozy game and I love watching people play it in different ways.

It actually pleases me a lot that you enjoy the elder scrolls as well as RS

I've got a challenge that sounds impossible, but I've done it on console: bring Vivec and Dagoth Ur together at a neutral location to "parley" and/or just to decorate your crib.

I remember reading a fan theory once that the game giving you the persist in a doomed world message you get after killing vivec despite being able to still beat the game is just vivec using the last of his chim powers to try and manipulate the player into loading a save game and effectively reset reality to prevent his death

17:14 Small correction, security can help with intelligence growth, but otherwise has no effect on security rolls itself. The stat part of the calculation is Security + (Agility/5) + (Luck/10). The other 2 parts to success calculations is your tool quality (an easy multiplier) and fatigue (.75 multiplier to 1.25 multiplier depending on how full it is.) Lastly, the final check is the difficulty, which subtracts, and gives us our final percentage chance of success. Example, 40 security, 40 agility (8) and 40 luck (4)= 52. Multiply by a normal journeyman lockpick of 1.0, and obviously, full fatigue 1.25= 65. We are picking a difficulty 50 lock. 65-50=15% chance on every attempt. At zero fatigue instead, we would be getting a 'lock too complex' message, a 0 or below % chance of success. A simple formula, obfuscated by the fact that this game is jank spaghetti at the best of times, and the mechanics are generally poorly explained, if not outright false information. Thankfully, your stupid high agility more then makes up for any slight stat mismanagement. ;p

I'm grateful for this video. I've seen several sources talk about the "backpath" to the Morrowind main story but none of them actually went into detail on how to do it and I've also never been able to find a video of it. You've scratched a very long-standing curious itch.

The jury rigged wraithgaurd is left handed so you can use it with the real wraithgaurd at the same time.

"Vivec is kill" is pretty much every Morrowind playthrough I've had

This was uploaded almost an hour ago on a realtively small channel I probably would have never found myself and yet it already appeared on my recommended page. Youtbe knows me well. This is a great video!

one of my favourite games of all time and i learned something new today

You can actually beat Morrowind without wraith guard as long as you either fortify health enough to outlive the 1 hit with sunder and 4 with keening or just drink an absolutely obscene amount of healing potions. Drinking healing potions has a high chance of not working if you have lower amounts of HP though. Edit: extra clarification I guess this could be considered alchemy exploits but this is possible with potions you can buy from merchants and still let's you actually finish the main quest and get the ring of azura as apposed to the just killing the heart of lorkhan after gaining like 2,000 strength or something

This is one of the best pieces of content I've seen in this platform recently. Great quality work, it was pleasant to watch. Congratulations.

Just found your channel, really enjoying your content and casual, almost off the cuff humor mixed with breaking down systems. Very entertaining to listen to.

dude this channel is something special, you have such a perfect cadence for voiceovers

You DEFINITELY need to make more morrowind videos!! These are the best

This was a delight! More Morrowind challenges please!

i really liked your previous mw video, i was just wrapping it up this morning. so this is a pleasant treat to wake up to

new favorite channel. Thanks for your hard work!

Love your content man. I'm here for it.

Great content loving your channel

Top quality video dude. Very chill sense of humor. Subscribed!

Just found this channel. As a morrowind enjoyer I am so happy people still make these types of videos.

Thanks for the content. I like your style. And it's Morrowind content!

Thank you for adding official subtitles. It's so much better than auto-generated.

Droping a comment to support this Content. Love these Videos

Thank u for always being there for me when i need to go to sleep sooner rather than later (respectfully

amazing video and amazing story telling ability, great work!

Was playing Skyrim Nolvus with this as background noise® and wound up just watching the vid. Great video brother. Subbed

literally never found or heard about that mine in years of playing this game, so awesome

Love these videos. As someone with only a passing interest in Morrowind its so interesting to see. Maybe i'll give it a shot

I love your humour dude. Great video, this will be my playthrough if and when I ever play this.

Just started playing morrowind again and I love these videos

I love the little details that you put in that could be easy to miss like when you were trying to kill the cliff racer and had text over the empty fatigue bar...that was hilarious and Iove finding these little things. This is quality content

you videos are pretty cool, i like watching them even though i dont know anything about any of the games you play tbh also good sometimes when im tired asf i can just pass out, like your videos are good as just background noise too thats crazy

I am so glad i found you videos, i have been loving these. Id love to see you play daggerfall, i feel that would be fun

What a gem! Last time I played Morowind I wandered around aimlessly and eventualyl stumbled on that dungeon that has Skull Crusher in it and then suddently I was able to actually fight stuff; then I stumbled onto the quest to go to the dungeon later in the playthrough. Thats always an amusing feeling. Great video!

I played so much Morrowind at release that I’m so excited to have new facts dropped on me. Went from playing the OG Xbox port, to the PC version with the updates/expansion packs. This was my favorite game ever along with Diablo II as a middle school kid. Brings back great memories. Love the content.

Love your morrowind videos! please make more

I have never played morrowind and in this video I don’t know what going on half the time but I enjoyed every minute of this

GREAT video man. i enjoyed it

These morrowwind videos are neat to watch. Cool to see them getting so many views for you.

Love the varied content.

I like these challenges. Would highly recommend a major in conjuration or enchant, bound weapons help a lot with stuff outside your major skills.

Bro I love your voice and your comedy. These videos are so good.

Excellent Content ,Fantastic Piece 😊🕉️

This is the perfect video I intend to use to introduce a friend, who's never played, to Morrowind. Thank you :)

really enjoying this content.

Please continue with morrowind and oblivion vidoes, Its awesome to have some content to watch on my childhood favourites

Yo, your videos are pretty awesome and a fresh breath for TES content for me. I wanted to play Morrowind since I really liked skyrim, and find some aspects of oblivion interesting.

I'm surprised you didn't grab the daedric warhammer from Tukushapal. Its normally locked, but giving Matze to Ennbjof in Vivec gives you access to it. The only enemies at level one are easy to take on skeletons. It DOES require levitation to grab, but there are conveniently placed rising force potions right below the location with the weapon. Plus, you get the best unenchanted helmet in game, the Daedric Face of God.

I love this game. Great video.

Quality Content. Keep it up!

Love the vids bro, new subscriber.

Damn the first time i played this game was on the original xbox in 2002. I've played the game tons of times since then never knew this. This is so awesome i love how deep the elder scrolls games are. Cheers

This makes me wanna play Morrowind, even though I've never played with

It's crazy how much you were missing despite swimming in all that fatigue.

I'd absolutely love to see more Morrowind content! I love osrs as much as the next guy, as I just got the shadow on leagues, now I'm hunting for the heart from these stupid hydras that only give me eternal gems :(. But either way, I don't see a lot of Morrowind content and I actually need to finish the game myself!

The Return of The ̶K̶i̶n̶g̶ Absolute Madman

I subbed the moment you said (and justified) saying Cosadeez

Dope video man I always just broke the game with alchemy myself

That video was fun! You've got a good voice for content too =)

When I was younger, the line "you should run now" terrified me as much as taking two steps outside of a city.

You kinda sound like the fox guy from adventure time. Love the videos please keep it up :))

“Excluding the warriors what a surprise”😂😂😂💀💀

Favorite ways getting stacked at start: Doing a lot of the quests in seyda neen, sure, dont forget the axe in the stump by the watchtower :) then going to a few places (It's been a while since I played). 1. Certain farm you go up to the top floor near the owner & there was good loot. 2. Vivec, being able to get into the vaults was always sick. 3. I remember an ebony mine somewhere. 4. faze into ceilings of rooms near items you want to steal. 5. Clearing bandit caves and dwemer of coarse.

Good video, first one I've saw from you, I'm a big morrowind nerd. Think your just gonna hit the algorithmz I found patrician TV and micky D (who i saw mentioned in the comments) when they had about the same subs. Good vid, i like the stuff your saying under your breath ❤❤❤

To make leveling up a bit harder, at character creation, I selected Luck as a favored attribute. At each level up, I put one point into luck. I maxed out luck by roughly level 50 or 51, without using the Bitter Cup (needed for a certain quest).

24:10 A nostalgic tale i have involving Daedric armor My dad probably had thousands of hours into Morrowind when he first introduced me to it. When i started my character is when he actually started trying to look for Daedric armor, because when he did find pieces, he didnt wear it as he would main light or medium armor in all his builds. This is when we discovered (with the help of that gigantic guide book) that Daedric pauldrons arent in the base game aside from the ones Divayth is wearing. Way later on i did manage to stumble across one when i was poking through a random cave in Solstheim but i dont think i ever found the other one.

Neat little tip, stoneflower petals have restore strength as a primary effect, the chances of getting ingredients to give you their effect is based on alchemy skill and not amazing but the flowers are fairly light, free, and abundant in certain areas like around Lake Amaya and Caldera, even buying them from alchemists is cheap at 1 gold a piece.

I agree with your assessment of maxing out Endurance and perfectly leveling up too fast in this game. Every time I do that I end up putting the game away cause it starts to feel trivial.

original morrowind content feels like christmas... oh wait... well it's an appropriate time i gues

18:18 I remember when I went down that cave before the quest and didn’t find the gloves until after I sent back again 20 hours or so. I remember just thinking I’ll double check the area and when I found these gloves. I was both ecstatic and angry because I am a hoarder and just play about 20 hours without these gloves

deeply impressed by this 0 fatigue potions run

That adrenaline rush death bs confused me for hours as a kid on my first playthrough. Definitely learned to appreciate potions and healing magic that day lol

I never used a shield unless I was using spells or 2 handed. Since you block automatically and the chance to block gets higher as you increase the skill you can potentially stun lock yourself. You can't do anything else while the block animation is happening and blocking doesn't negate all damage. I've died from chip damage because I couldn't stop blocking to attack. You do still get an armor bonus from equipping the shield (and any passive enchantments) even if you're using a 2 handed weapon or a spell so that's the only time I used shields.

28:52 I like how the last known Dwemer is basically a redditor discord mod

The Morrowind back route is one of those things I think wouldn't be put into a big RPG game nowadays because it would be seen as wasted effort as something that people would never see (or that if they do see it they miss out on the material in the main story instead) and with budgets and development cycles as they are it wouldn't be seen as economical. It's pretty cool though.

Praise Azura, the algorithm delivered me a Morrowind video.

fun video good stuff
