Several commenters have mentioned things about Morrowind that later got removed from Elder Scrolls games that they loved and one of mine is cursed items - not weapons & armor, actual items, like valuables being cursed. They were mostly found in daedric shrines and dwemer ruins which is what happened to Spiff at around 13:00 - he picked up a cursed item on the shrine and that will trigger a tough aggro'd summon on you (in Spiff's case, a dremora spawned with a daedric weapon, which can injure ghosts). In dwemer ruins, it will spawn an ancient dwemer spirit. You also can't normally get rid of the curse either, so if you drop the cursed item & pick it up again, it will summon another aggro'd summon on you. It's a good way to naturally level up combat & healing skills. It's such a small thing but adds a lot of depth to the world building to me and I find later games lost something with their absence.

Enchant is much better since its instant, make 20 rings with summon skeleton for 185 seconds one named skeleton01 up to skeleton20, you can quickly cast them with the hotkey buttons the one who cycle spells alphabetically. Summon Skeleton Servant 01 ... Summon Skeleton Servant 20 why 20? is just because its a good enough number to storm places and you can still move around. I have found a fix for the slowness of skeletons, you can boost them temporarily with that specific spell: fortify speed 50 for 40 seconds in 50 foot on touch. Make 2 of these like that: Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 02 or if you want a bit more duration make 3: Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 02 Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 03 But if you really want fast buff to minions make rings instead with: Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 02 or Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 01 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 02 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 03 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 04 Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 05 if you dont wanna pay 100k to make a ring you can use alchemy to boost temporarily your intelligence to around 3k to make the enchants yourself. For a necro the typical game hotkeys should be like that: 1. a cheap soultrap 19 sec and paralysis 1 sec mace. 2. 10 sec paralysis spell 3. Summon Skeleton Servant 01 (cycle up to 20) 4. Summon Dremora 01 (cycle just up to 02, i treat them as elite units so they should be rarer and used in specific scenarios) 5. Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 (cycle up to 02) spell or magic rings, recommended the latter. 6. Typical made health potion 7. Typical made magicka potion 8. Typical made stamina potion 9. Ring of Restore Faigue 2 pts and constant effect invisibility (used to run away if things get nasty) For roleplay i console command my endurance down to 10 at start of game so when i reach max level i just end up like with 105 health on my high elf. earlygame is the hardest, you rely a lot in potions specially magic ones and spells. Mid game lategame you move to enchants, they are much more efficient and faster to cast. Hoard as much as possible exquisite rings in your adventures, you will need them all. I never recommend doing the method of brit video, it breaks the game. It gets overpopulated with skeletons who cant keep up with you in speed. They bloat the savegame since they are permanent.

I also had a trick where I had like 5 different spells I'd stack all at once, one being a basic levitate and the rest all buffing my speed which basically let me fly across the whole map within like, 5 minutes without costing that much.

With a few mods (Graphic Herbalism and Morrowind Code Patch are musts) the game is genuinely one of the most enjoyable games out there even today. It's just so damn fun, there's something about it that I can't even explain but it's just incredible. And it always shocks me that the Magic system didn't go into Oblivion and Skyrim. I know Oblivion has it, but it takes a long time to get to it and you have to do the Mages Guild. In Morrowind you can just straight up go to someone who does Spellmaking and make a Fireball that does 100 damage at level 1. Sure you won't be able to cast it yet, but you can do it. The game is just so damn fun, there's so much freedom to how you approach it.

And then the document you need is no longer in your inventory and you had to remember where you sold it.

In Morrowind, being able to hit something in combat was a bit of a dice roll. It was your opponents defense vs your skill and fatigue (green bar). That's a very simplistic way of describing it. The lower your fatigue, the less likely you are to hit. And the thing about Morrowind, anything faster than walking speed and jumping constantly drains your fatigue. So if you weren't aware of this, odds are you are running around with your fatigue at 0 and missing a lot.

The time in Oblivion when I discovered if you use a shield at the same time as a spell, it makes the spell cast twice as fast was a fun moment for me. So was the moment in Skyrim when I found out I can sneak faster just by taking out my hands for a spell then putting them away over and over. Magic.

Proof that the greatest power on Tamriel is the power of _family_ (dead ancestors totally count) 2:03 - I've completely forgotten the epic _strides_ people take in this game. Truly the greatest walking animations ever coded by human hands. 13:31 - I love how the two skeletons are just staring at each other all like "Man, that was _weird_ "

0:30 "And that means there's a certain janky charm..." *music swells, tears fall*

Morrowind videos always bring back such wonderful memories. That game was the most broken thing i have ever played and it was glorious. My only regret is that it crashed a lot do to all the crazy, random, and overpowered stuff i was doing. Like this for instance. Morrowind hated hordes. Making one would make your game crash roughly every time the horde took one collective step, but if you could get it to keep running it was a simple matter to wipe all life off the map.

You finally posted my favorite game, no matter how broken it is! ❤❤❤ Also crying at the easy gold missed at the start. Magic axe, taxes, golden platter!

Considering the plot of Morrowind, ascending to godhood is indeed the way the developers intend us to play this game.

Best item in the game is an daedric tower shield. Boost your intelligence to 10 or 20k. Then enchant it with fireball with 2 meter range. Every time you block with it, your enemy melts.

My favourite exploit in Morrowind is intelligence potion crafting. You go to Balmora and then teleport to Sadrith Mora. You go to Aunius Autrus. You buy ingredients from him to craft intelligence potions. You then drink them until you have ridiculous amount of intelligence which allows crafting even better potions. The NPC restocks every time you talk to him so you create more potions and sell them to buy more ingredients. After getting enough of them you go Scamp trader in Caldera and sell them to him for the full price. If he runs out of money you wait 24 hours for him to restock. Then use the money to train. Boom, high level character without killing a single enemy.

Technically, Argonians take on nearly infinite forms because they're all mutated animals created by the Hist, or descendants thereof. The reason they all share a form in a title is due to development restraints. There are also different forms of Khajiit for every phase of the moon, but Skyrim only has two: Sentient Housecat and Regular Person.

The morrowind overhaul is pretty nice. It changes the cap on magic effects from 100-500

i just started playing morrowind for the first time roughly a week ago despite it sitting in my library for YEARS. this video could NOT have been better timed

I remember playing this when it came out and it was absolutely revolutionary. I fell in love with the flexibility the developers gave you to achieve the task at hand. Before you knew it you were levitating over level 60 baddies to steal relics you had no right possessing.

I remember back in the day discovering something like this but could've sworn it involved casting the spell onto a grand charm you placed on the floor. We're talking original Xbox era and once past 15 skeletons, it wasn't a happy bunny

This just made me realize how much I miss the OG Daggerfall-era Khajiit and Argonians. Thanks a lot, Spiff!

In Oblivion I used to make the "cast paralysis on self" spell and then throw myself off mountains, you wouldn't take fall damage if you were paralyzed. So yeah after the 100% chameleon I just did that for fun. God I loved that game.

15:14 video description for that segment says: Wven further! Love these typos, it doesnt even bother me, it fits for a morrowind video

Going from a dark, gray game to those bright white stock photos is actively giving me astigmatism.

The fact Spiff goes thru this whole game with the tiniest sliver of health is honestly anxiety inducin xD

Ahh interesting. So this is why your morrowind videos from 3 years ago randomly popped up in my recommended feed yesterday 🙌🏼

Excellent video...when last part of Skryim Legendary??? ❤

I've recently been watching a bunch of Morrowind content on a whim. But outta the blue yoi come and provide Morrowind content too?! What a wonderful sausage you are Spiff!

I remember from back in the day there is a spot that you can cast a spell from and if the spell is strong enough eventually, since the spell travels until it hits something,it will hit and kill a quest character that will lock you out of the main quest.

oh, i used to wear equipment with Strength-boosting enchantments, to increase my max weight. there's just one catch, a few enemies can REDUCE your intelligence, and getting it back up can be a problem IF your ADJUSTED total is over 100. fortunately, there are only two enemies i know of that can reduce Strength. one is a "greater bonewalker" the occasionally appears in Tombs. and then there's Dagoth Ur, who can reduce ALL of your attributes. another odd trick i liked to do was to summon a Deadra, and then kill it! if you're REALLY quick, you can LOOT it before it vanishes, giving you a free Deadric weapon! BUT if you try this, be careful, in Morrowind, when looting a corpse, an option will appear on-screen to "remove corpse". do NOT click that when looting a summoned creature, that will cause a bunch of errors, because the game will try to make the creature fade away wen it's already gone! that is likely to crash the game. and it you do it too many times, the NAME of the weapon will glitch out, saying something like "deadric sword 101010101010101010" the game will DEFINITELY crash if you try to pick up one of THOSE!

My favorite part was when Spiff said "its ghosting time" and proceeded to ghost all over everyone

My favorite part was when he said "It's ghosting time" and then he ghosted all over them.

It must needs be enchanted unto an Ebony Staff, or Scimitar as those were the only 2 weapons that could withstand the magicks that will soon be placed upon them. As my failing memory struggled to recall, i remeber the basis of this enchantment, which i shall recall as best be could. Weakness to magicka 100-100 for 1 (maybe 2?) second on strike Absorb Health 100-100 for 1 second on strike Damage or Drain Health 100-100 for 1 second on strike (or what ever will fit, i forgot which it was) Frost shield 1 for 1 second on strike Fire shield 1 for 1 secondon strike Lightning Shield 1 for 1 second on strike Invisibility for 1 second on strike Soultrap 1 for 1 second on target If my memory serves, this VILE combination of ancient spells will perform the following... Constantly be draining their health and absorbing it into yourself, permanently, over charging your hp pool with every kill (it as in, 1337/69 is what your HP could look like) The Dealing damage to them so they die almost instantly after but a single strike The shield spells and invisibility are the sinister part. the shields create a conflagration of auras around the person , covering them in a flash of light. They will die almost instantly, in a flash of colors and energy, and due to soul trap and invisibility? they will become invisible. HOW EVER, due to the quirky ness of the engine, they will be invisible, BUT THEIR SHADOW WONT BE. This weapon when created correctly (and my above recipe is probably not correct), it will crate an abomination of an attack that will instantly obliterate people, give you their HP as bonus HP, and leave nothing but a BURNT SHADOW OF A CORPSE on the ground. I turned many a city into a cruel tomb of burnt shadows with this weapon. DISCLAIMER - my memory of what went into this is fuzzy, there might have been a damage spell like lightning or the drain may have been damage 50 or 1 second or something, but with soul trap permanency it becomes 50 damage a second. I remember it had the MAX amount of spell effects you could slap onto a weapon. Enjoy this blursed weapon, and be careful attacking -anything- with reflect magic. That will most assuredly end... VERY BADLY for you. EDIT : ALSO, I had a similar spell to your bone boys, but since you canth ave multiple similar effects on a single spell, I made a single spell that summoned literally one of nearly every undead enemy I could. Skeletons, Skeleton Lords, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonewalkers (least, normal, and greaters) and just cast that once for an instant squad of undead to charge in. Similarly had one for atranochs. "Ever-Flavortranoch" i think i called it

Glad to see you in my feed again and that the videos are back to being about breaking games. I was getting so tired of the "look how many views I can get on this video" stuff. Hope it keeps up.

Cheese level 1: Leveling efficiently (slowly), abusing spell crafting, and grabbing magic items early. Cheese level 2: Enchanting roulette Cheese level 3: Alchemy loop. Yes.

Morrowind was my first xbox game. I never did a single quest, didnt even know there were quests until years later, but its still one of my most favorite games ive ever played. Hours and hours just wondering around aimlessly, killing and pillaging at will.

Some day you have to show off Spell Chaining in Oblivion. Fortify Magicka + Fortify Intelligence + other effects = A spell you can cast infinitely. And that's just the beginning. Combining this with a few other effects can greatly increase the amount of Magicka you get, which in turn lets you stack even more powerful effects onto it.

"Listen to the choir" is probably something you would NEVER want to hear from a necromancer

The answer to that first question is always an " Of Course " when it's a Spiff Vid.

I have absolutely no clue what I did or how to replicate it, nor have I met anyone else who's had this happen. But playing Oblivion shortly after it came out I came to my waterfront shack to get something, and in the chest were a bunch of goblins. As in they were an inventory item and I could drop them and they'd spawn. This also happened with the Uderfrykt Matron.

Never is a cup of coffee more enjoyable than when watching a Spiff video! Another amazing cheesey vid! Cheers from Oz!

Spiff invades the city of Vivec with an army of bonelords, but fails to go after Vivec himself. That showdown would've been glorious

The game included a physical map. Nearly every dungeon and cave and building was drawn on the map, so if you got directions, you could actually find the spot on the physical map that correlated with where you were told to go.

the soul trap on target to keep effects are actually hinted at in the books in morrowind and in necromancer writings in dungeons. there may even be a way to absorb the heart

The more relaxed pace is definitely a plus in my opinion. Walking through your build process was very enjoyable.

In that room with sellus gravius, on the shelf behind him theres a key. If you steal from the table and let him chase you, you can get him stuck on the chair which lets you pick up the key and drop it on the ground before letting him catch you (this confiscates anything you stole) the key unlocks the warehouse across the street which gives you all the starting money you need

You can also choose the moonshadow sign and sneak behind him, making sure he is facing away. Then you take it, which ends your invisibility, but generally with a high enough sneak you get the key. Since the key weights nothing and is worth nothing you don’t need a very high sneak to do this.

"To find the Macguffin, travel two foyada over, go north, make a right at a big rock next to a small rock, and the cave entrance is under a weird tree." Me, in hopefully the correct foyada, surrounded by rocks and weird trees: "Well, $#@!."

You and what army? - The one somewhere outside busy with pathfinding.

Enjoying a lovely cup while watching. Thanks Spiff!

i think we all have done the skyrim restoration loop here by now, but I know another little cheesy exploit you might not know, in destroying the the sprint mechanic without giving yourself 12984637198474 stamina... if you get the stealth roll perk as well as the shield charge perk, both perks activate once you go to sprint from crouching, and you begin a silent charge that both knocks enemies over and is treated as still being in stealth mode, but additionally will never stop even sprinting even if your stamina is all used up. Only thing that sucks is you need 100 block and 70 sneak, but besides that it couldn't be easier to actually do the glitch. Good to work towards if you're going back to play anniversary edition on survival

First time i've ever seen a morrowind spiffing brit video. Hope he makes more, you can do many ridiculous things in this beautiful game.

21:24 Somehow Spiff turned Morrowind into Pikmin 😂

Dang it. You drew me back in with Morrowind.

I love that the bone lords travel in a conga line

Not an elder scrolls game, but in Fallout 4, it is entirely possible to start a faction war that glitches the game out in far harbor. Basically joined all the factions and got to the last stage where the battle occurs. When the battle happens everyone is aggro on you and everyone else, but somehow everyone becomes essential and can’t die. I eventually just peaced out on the island and left the war going.

I love the Morrowind content. The lore is so much fun and had to play the game in 2020 so late to the cake. Thank you gladly sir

The extreme whiteout cuts were like flashbangs to the eyes

Loved your choice of adjective at 23:13

The thing about conjuration in Elder Scrolls games released after Daggerfall is that it's pratically the only viable option in early-game if you want to do a max difficulty run. The summons don't get affected by the difficulty multiplier, which makes the strategy of "letting your minions do the dirty work for you" extremely powerful. Not only the summons don't get one-shot by a lv 1 enemy, but they would do a sizeable amount of damage as if their target was a normal difficulty run enemy. In morrowind, spamming skeletons can get you out of annoying situations where you die over and over again to Cliff Racers. In Oblivion, Scamps will divert most threats' attention from you, and will shred them should they engage fisticuffs. Even Skyrim's Conjuration skill line is viable. I'll assume you don't have the Anniversary Edition that Todd Howard gave us : Flame Atronachs are very good against early-game Dragons (assuming you didn't powerlevel on a mudcrab's rotting corpse) and Storm Atronachs are overall a great option. Storm Atronachs punch hard, shock enemies harder and are quite tanky. If you do have the Anniversary Edition, combining the Bone Colossus and Skeleton Warlock will obliterate any foe you might encounter (if you summoned them fast enough first). In a nutshell, if you want to cheese max difficulty : run summoner, because your minions will carry your cup of Yorkshire Tea for you.

The only morrowind thing I knew about back when I played at my friend's house on the xbox was glitching up the mountain far enough to get a sword that would normally kill you if you equipped it, and holding down the weapon swap button to get infinite stats, because for some reason the stats you could get from the sword were permanent, but the death debuff wasn't.

My favorite broken thing in Morrowind was to become both a vampire and a werewolf (normally mutually exclusive and deathly enemies, but a glitch allowed you to become both), then boost my strength, allowing me to jump over entire mountain ranges. With enough juicing, who needs levitation? It came in handy to cut down a 40 minute walk to about 4 seconds, and haul every last bit of loot to town. As a werewolf, you were immune to sunlight and healed fast IIRC. As a vampire, you had life leech or something. No need for weapons. You healed infinitely. The main risk of death was by launching yourself off the planet by accident and yeeting yourself into extra-dimensional space-time. It's been a while so details fuzzy, but that's how I remember it. No need for magic, intelligence, training, weapons, armor, healing, poison cures when you're a Werepire...Vampwolf... nightmare from a Romanian fairy tale.

First time playing this game on my the first venture on a path on starting game a guy fell out of the sky dead wearing "The Boots of Blinding Speed" which on most characters makes you entirely blind (screen goes black), luckily I was playing my favourite class at the time which was Orc which n Morrowind gets a darksight buff which when putting the boots on it just dimmed the screen a little. With this as a Level 1 character I was able to steal so many things and run to safety, start a fight and run if they were getting out of hand and best of all speed run through entire levels without engaging minions only having to fight the big boss which usually couldn't touch me because of my speed. It truly was perfectly balanced.

In the standard game, the boots are being carried by a different NPC. The falling guy is carrying super-jump scrolls. He forgot about fall damage.

The wii music in the background the whole video really hit

For anyone feeling nostalgic about Morrowind there is an opensource engine specifically designed to run the game on modern computers. OpenMW still needs the game files to run, but comes with a lot of improvements to stability and performance. Definitely worth checking out, it is a great example of how much the community loves this game to the point they made sure it could be playable even 20+ years later

12:53 is a mechanic where if you steal from a daedric shrine it will summon a dremora.

no way, yesterday i watched the skyrim version of this and now you come with this

man the white background flash bangs every 30 secs killing my eyes

This was my childhood game, such great memories playing this at 3am in the morning knowing i had to be up for school early.

Video ends with Spiff being a good old classic villain. Necromancy never gets old.

Glad to see you are still alive. It’s been awhile.

the background music just blasted me into my childhood

fortify enchanting to alchemy loop is amazing and also very versatile had a blast after discovering it with almost instant magicka recharge

Levitate. Telvanni in Morrowind: you can't levitate by spell/potion/enchant? You weren't worth talking to. Telvanni in Skyrim: let's install a levitate-lift so anyone can come in at any hour. The sheer freedom of vertically exploring and going back to locations or looking for better ways in (exits) was a bit of fun that Todd killed in the sequels.
