Let's Play Morrowind

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 6:30 pm

Remember what it was like, playing Morrowind for the first time? Remember that overwhelming sense of freedom, or the beautiful world sucking you in as you get lost looking for a quest mushroom or a powerful staff? Well here is a very long--yet quite fulfilling--Let's Play series of videos on Morrowind.

I strongly recommend everyone watch this; it's like falling in love with Morrowind all over again. To top it off, the video series is recorded in 720p, so you can actually see what's going on in the game as the guy plays along. Just mouse over the bit that says "360p" and select 720p instead. For the first several videos you can choose 480p if you want an HD experience but have a slow connection.

Try not to yell at your monitor too much when he does the wrong thing; you'll lose your voice pretty quickly

Enjoy!

haha, nice one

although I haven't played morrowind without any mods or tools improving the graphics and bugs for a long time... some passages are very amusing, e.g. when he's trying to pronounce the names of towns in the right way

lol i already like that guy. His scenario is very similar to mine. Played morrowind - didnt like it. Played oblivion - loved it. Went back to morrowind.

Now i love morrowind.

And I love his pronunciation of the word "Oblivion"
it makes me want to say "Oblivi-off" after every time he says it.

I watched some of these videos a while back. I'd probably watch the rest, if I had more time to watch hundreds of 10-minute videos

I shake my head in despair at the wanton killing of egg miners in vid 20. But yes, it does bring back that original feeling. Thanks for the link, Hap.

spoiler alert! (lol)

I couldn't bear to continue watching when he mistook a Hypha Facia for Bungler's Bane and started heading back to Balmora with just three of the four mushrooms for Ajira's first quest. The pity!

The worst part is, he's playing a mage, so his speed and athletics are incredibly low... so it takes him forever to get anywhere!

I just finished watching these, and while it can be slow at times (and it definitely takes a while), I recommend a full showing for everyone! He's not even close to being finished yet, and it really makes one fall back into love with all the things about Morrowind that we loved in the first place.

Honestly i wouldnt of thought i'd like these but they are awesome. I think im on 26 now.

I also notice he is doing an oblivion series which i may watch after i finish with the morrowind one.

Dude looks like I imagine Sload. It's not him is it?

very no

Kiteflyer61 · Post by **Kiteflyer61** » Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:58 pm

I guess I'm the oddball again.

I found watching them about as interesting as watching paint dry. I do have to admit it was fun seeing a "new" player fumble through some of the same stuff I fumbled through when I first played though. Maybe I'll skip ahead a few videos to see how he makes out.

FelixAmherst · Post by **FelixAmherst** » Sun Feb 07, 2010 8:10 pm

Judging by the comments on the videos, kiteflyer you are definitely NOT the only one =P

I like em though. Reminds me of me. I did scream when he didnt pick up the right mushroom though.

Scampy, there are actual pictures of a Sload.

even disregarding this fact, that guy is not sload. Sload would never do something like this.

FelixAmherst · Post by **FelixAmherst** » Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:25 pm

I actually wonder what this would be like if Sload did it. Id pay to watch it.

that's a nice picture of him.

Someone should do a proper Let's Play on Something Awful. Everything else is posing.

I'm so glad you brought this up Haplo. I'm really liking watching it.

'I never actually joined the blades in Oblivi-on, do you get more quests...?'

LOL!

Gosh... watching this without Better Bodies is almost scary to me.

Post by **Haplo** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 1:31 am

Just an update... Gix is now at about 152 videos. Roughly 24 hours of game play, and he is just now being sent to the Urshilaku tribe.

Why · Post by **Why** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 1:40 am

Somehow his videos are really entertaining to watch. I'm at 103 atm, he's slowly crawling ahead of me.

I cheered for him out loud when he finally found Mentor's Ring quite some episodes back.

Post by **Haplo** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 3:04 am

Yeah, I think he spent something like 6 hours of game time searching for that... crazy...

I started playing Morrowind again because of this man. Thank you.

Gabrielman · Post by **Gabrielman** » Fri Nov 25, 2011 12:08 am

I remember when I first came across his videos... I was hooked. He reminds me of myself when first playing, as I am sure he reminds everyone of themselves! I love how he does let's plays in general, and wish he would have kept up on his Daggerfall Let's plays as well. Awesome to see a forum supporting him. I embeded some of his videos on my board as well, but it is not an Elder Scrolls board... so not as relevant. Anyway, can't wait until he finishes the main quest!!!! It will certainly be funny to see his reaction to Dagoth Ur.... giant streaker in a golden mask, LOL!

For the first time I played morrowind I got strong feelings
from it. Still its fun to play morrowind because of the expansions and the TR mod project!

I have watched from youtube "lets play morrowind"
many of them.

+1 I started playing Morrowind again some days ago, I wanted to try that Overhaul thing, and to my surprise I enjoyed it! It is quite a change, recently I installed TR and started to explore the new places, it's great to be back at Morrowind, it's still a lot of fun!

It's been quite a while since I writed here, think I did a couple of interiors for TR 7 or 8 years ago lol, I'd like to visit them in game again, but I can't remember the places, I tried searching for them but I can't find anything, maybe someone here can track them down? That would be too much asking I think, lol.

p.s.: Sorry for my grammar, English it's not my natural language.

I searched through all your previous posts and I found a few things:

Tolkar wrote:I would like to claim this two interiors of map2:

Claim 2-6:(35, 3): Cave Entrance
Claim 2-6:(35, 5): Nord Rock House

For make it a smugglers cave and a house.

I would like to claim the 3 shacks in exterior of group map 1 for make it houses:
Claim 2 (15, 25)

I hope that helps you find them. There were also some Black Light interiors, but I imagine they are probably long gone.

Thank you! It helps a lot; I managed to "rediscover" the "Claims browser overview" button lol, but only 2 appeared there, you have even more information, thank you again.

You're welcome.
