The spell is sparkly like a signal flare. A simple cantrip to ingratiate myself to my target. This isn't me trying to pretend I didn't bone-apple-tea the spell.

Flare is one of the most powerful offensive spells a Black Mage (aka Destruction specialist) can learn in the Final Fantasy series. So Charismatic Flare is a suitably powerful boost to one's personality. Of course, it only last an instant, but so does a gigantic explosion, so it's appropriate.

Even finding the secret chamber where the ring is kept wasn't that hard because I'd accidentally gotten immersed during my quest for forks.

I love the punch sound effects when the fella is in the lava. It's so video-gamey in an absolutely lovely way.

14:11 I imagine you're not really "fatiguing" them, so much as just smacking them apart until the magic animating them has to stop and rearange all the bones you knocked loose.

The knocked-Out Bonelord was really funny... since the knock-out animation is basically the same as the death animation, the Bonelord just kind of compresses to a pancake, with the difference that there is no particle effect and the robes don't disappear. It looks really strange, but I guess the real question is why undead even have stamina.

You are releasing these way faster than I would expect it. Great effort and even better videos.

Liked for petting the scrib with heal other. Good scrib. :)

I loved that little "he" after pushing the bone lord into the lava xD

Your comment about the usage of the word "portal" is actually similar to why I ended up needing to look up how to get into Azuras shrine during the main quest - I assumed the prophecy was referring to something much more fancy than the vaguely lighter rocks in the area, and there would be some kind of magical sign that I was in the right spot

The beating continues until morale improves 🫲

The Morrowind hit sound is so good. Never gets old.

all i know it every morrowind playthrough starts with me picking flowers and a couple hours later I am GOD.

Even in the old school D&D fists of a monk were considered a magical weapon and could thus harm any creature.

14:50 if the ghosts can touch you, you can obviously touch them back. Thats why i always swing on the shower curtain.

Your Morrowind videos are all excellent. As a fellow Skyrim-baby (got that a couple months after it came out), you got me to try out the game, and I've been loving it.

This was my dads favorite way to play back in the day. Always swore on the monkfist. Vanilla game even

8:28 is the first time in years I've seen the critical damage prompt lol

So here's something interesting I learned about Morrowind. If you are level 20 and have 50 Reputation, you can skip being named Nevarine and Hortator. That isn't super useful for you because it would take more time to do than doing it the normal way.

"At that level of ability, you're a legend already"/

playing a thief with unarmored+hand-to-hand+sneak as my combat skills, was the hardest start of the game, but by far my favourite end game build. 100% recommend

I remember trying monk years and years ago, and I loved playing the character. They leveled up immensely fast, and I could travel at hilarious speeds just hippidy-hopping through the archipelago, and I think it was the first ever run where I hit 100 skill thanks to how fast unarmed went up. There was something liberating about that one.

Monks are rather famous for their cheese and wine. I see no wine.

I actually have played this through with fists as the main weapon. and yes, it is fun permastunning them

Very nice video. Always good to see Morrowind content, and nice seeing a few different people trying out the monk/hulk/unarmed playthrough.

I wish I had the patience to do this because the idea of a guy becoming the strongest dude in Morrowind just by punching crap is awesome and hilarious.

You've inspired me to pick up Morrowind again! Decided to randomly roll for my starting Race, Attributes, Skills and Sign, then roll for which three Attributes to increase each level up. I've been enjoying it a lot, breaks me out of some of my optimizer habits.

Love quality morrowind videos, subbed and waiting for more

Gotta say, just happened across your vids and channel recently, always enjoy seeing someone challenge themselves in different ways. As *something of a Morrowind player myself* I've come up with some challenge ideas as well. Some of em are fairly simple, just adding some restrictions to force you to play a certain way while reducing options to increase challenge that way. Others are much more brutal, one of which I like to refer to as Azura's Champion which has a LOT of rules and essentially forces you into a hardcore run that can only use quest rewards; or of course anything in between, if you should have any interest in learning more. Either way, great vid and look forward to what you do next.

I love your Morrowind vids, great stuff

These are blowing up brother 👏

Subbed! Funny comments and one of my most nostalgic games combined, what else can I wish for Christmas!

Just found your channel and I love your humor! Can't wait to see what you do next :)

man you would NOT catch me trying something like this without damage fatigue spells, a mod that changes unarmed, or werewolf form. It takes some real dedication to do these kinds of masochism runs.

Merry Christmas Backgrond Noises!

I remember my first hand to hand run was pure chaos and silly shenanigans

Thank you so much you made me buy this awesome game your videos are an inspiration 😊

this is really soothing, also I immensely appreciate your way and dedication to pronouncing everything in this :)

Hand to Hand is OP. once I managed to get H2H to around 65-70 I was beating up Dremoras and Daedra etc. Even with a mod that adds extra Bandits etc, I could hold off a gang of 6 by just focusing on one bandit and punching them until they would pass out, then start punching a second bandit, when the first bandit got back up, I'd punch them again a couple of time and knock them out again, and go back to punching the 2nd bandit, until I had a circle of unconscious bandits around me, which I could then start focusing on punching them for health damage while they were unconscious. It was fun juggling bandits. Subscribed BTW, your narration can be hilarious at times.

That feel when you find your new favourite channel to watch literally every video on.

I’m glad this came out cause martial arts unarmed builds are my favorite. I can use this as a guideline.

cool run, I enjoyed it

I did a Khajit monk run back in '04 and it was one of my favorite builds. Knocking people down and then punching them to death was always a riot

theres so many ways to approach this game. we will never have another game made like this ever again. best tes

Man... this brings the nostalgia of my first custom class morrowind character. Only difference was I traded out block, light armor, marksman, and blunt for alchemy, alteration, enchanting, and mysticism. Slow as all hell to kill things, but I was ridiculously hard to kill.

As a kid playing Morrowind on Xbox I was terrified of the Ghosts but seeing someone literally punch one to non existents was something I never knew about as a kid as soon as I had seen one I would just run and I didn't know how to save so if I died I would be back to the beginning great video love the commentary dude.
