    this guide deserves at least 1 whole cheese wheel
  • @raharuaharu5646
    This is great, I've wanted to get into Morrowind more seriously for years now, and this guide will help with that!
  • @jspencer6929
    I have watched a lot of Morrowind video’s that try to introduce it and this is undeniably the best. This video needs to be boosted to the top. This is the best new player guide.
  • Thank you for this, really good guide that's helped me better my understanding, I'm a newbie at Morrowind so guides like these are really great content for me.

    Ok, I made a weak video about this years ago, but, here's my best tip: Find the crab merchant! Mark the place. Not because you want to sell anything so badly, but because that is a special location. When sy use the Almsii and the Devine Intervention spell from there: With the right combination, you can reach: Ebonhart, Vivec, Molag Mar and Sadrich Mora, which is 4 very important location. And you can reach it in seconds.

    My favorite game 💚 This was a great guide and entertaining to watch!
  • @WortWortBlarg
    This is really well spoken and done!! I been playing since I was 7 and I’m pushing 30s now, so this piece of gaming is near and dear to my heart. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 heck yeah!!
  • My Goofiest TES3 character: Snak Gro-Gunk, the One Punch Orc Shaman... The Stark Naked Master of Fisting, Chugging, Teleporting and Summoning. I would have named him Bruce Boner, but that would have made role playing him a bit of a stretch. He did occasionally have to wear pants, though.

    It was phrased oddly, so I have no doubt the person making the guide knew this, but helmets for beast races are not restricted from heavy armors, rather to helmets that expose the face (ie. not full helms). Edit: So happy you mentioned purposely making a class with skills you don't use as a min-maxing option, then saying not to do it for beginners. I have seen too many guides that attempted to couch new players into focusing on efficient leveling, which is totally unneeded and makes the hardest phase of the game (the early game) worse.

    A bit more of an in depth explanation of luck for anyone interested. Any time you have a success chance performing an action, a relevant attribute is factored in. For example for spell cast chance 20% of your will power is used. Luck contributes half as much as the relevant stat for these chances. The full cast chance formula is (skill*2 + willpower/5 + luck/10 - spell cost) x (0.75 to 1.25) depending on remaining fatigue. If you have 50 destruction skill and 60 willpower, which is a pretty reasonable starting point for a high elf, and cast the starting destruction spell which costs 6 magicka your chance would be (100 + 12 + 4 - 6) x(0.75 to 1.25) or 110 x 0.75 = 82.5 at 0 fatigue and 100% at full fatigue. Your cast chance is displayed for each spell in the magic menu so you don't need to do the maths. While it does affect many aspects of the game, luck isnt really worth levelling as, unlike other attributes, it can only ever be increased by 1 per level.
  • Thumbs up! Excellent guide despite limited info. There's good info here to get started. And that transport map and info is a huge help. I don't plan on doing the cheese exploit stuff. But it would be much more helpful to learn how stuff works. Like alchemy, enchanting, killing dark brother, and other important info on how the game works. I just found out that starting with at least 30 points in a school will give free starting spells for that school.
  • @Punkagen91
    Hello moon and star why have you come unprepared where is all the cheese
  • @DeaDaR03
    Gaenor is a pushover. I prepared as best I could, using ALL of the main quest item buff I could get only to kill him in one punch.
  • @Kaftan
    All boons and short-fallings of Birthsigns can eventually be gained or countered through character growth, so if in-depth roleplay is the player's goal and meta-gaming a secondary or non-concern, any Birthsign can be perfectly fine. Those suggested are good picks, though. 100% agree with the video.
  • @XSilver_WaterX
    Minor mistake for slower players doing self-spells: Increase duration to 3-4 seconds as the timing for these self-spells will get you distracted by other things like surprise assassin or ashstorm + cliffracer combo.
