Me: casts fortify jump spell
Me: "jumps"
Also me: tries to cast slowfall mid way down
Game: failed to cast spell
LOL xD
At least we don't have Skyrim's fall damage.
I think we can all agree that morrowind simply offers a more RPG-esque storybook route that made it touch our hearts so much.
Levitate would of been a really good spell to have in skyrim with all those mountains in the way.
@Marcus Bergström how would it break cities?
@@peter1038 Their inside part is a separate location. You cannot enter the city other than through the gates and cannot leave it other way either. Those buildings and streets player can see from afar are just low-poly models to fill the non-functional space. There is a mod that fixes that (Open Cities Skyrim) but it's not a part of the native game.
Same applies to Oblivion btw
@@MineSeedHunter they could just "teleport" the player inside the city once in reach tho
Actually, I think Skywind (Skyrim in Morrowind engine) has or will have Levitate.
Thumbs up for making me realize this.
I literally never make a character without this and Mysticism. Making a Jump 100pts for 1 second and Slowfall 1pt for 30seconds on self effect is THE way to travel on Vvardenfell :D
YES I love that spell
I should try that!
You can make a 1 point on target levitation spell and use it as a slow spell. You can make a 1 point on target levitation with a 1 second duration to knock enemies out of the sky. They basically have constant effect levitation so the 1 sec lev overites theirs and so they plummet a second later. Works on cliff racers.
Props for the "...33, repeating of course"! )
Haha, I'm glad that somebody got it!
LEEROYYYYY
Great video, as usual!
Levitation will stay at the same speed even when you're swimming and diving, so it's a more flexible way to speed up in water than swift swim. Good choice for some more complex "water dungeons" with caves and passages above the water.
Oh yeah, I never thought of it as being a good swift swim alternative. Hearting your comment to signal boost it for the useful tip, thanks
Jump, my favorite Spell in Morrowind. So much fun leaping across Vvardenfell.
Part of me thinks its a bummer how when you get really intense jump magnitudes that you run into so many "loading area" prompts, but on the flip side, it kind of highlights the fact that you're practically breaking the intended confines of the game, which is kinda cool in and of itself.
Worth it. Jump is always worth it. Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!
It's like that one song from that one guy that was based on some guy killing himself I can't remember the name of!
Tinur's Hoptoad is ESSENTIAL for quick travel. Otherwise, it's unbearable. I can't imagine going back.
@@LyleShnub achieving CHIM is the true morrowind experience
the walk on water spell blew my mind when i first got it
I really enjoy your videos. Very informative and decent when it comes to their length.
Thanks so much! Lol, when I was making the very first guide video on character creation I was actually a little concerned about the length once I already finished making it. That's what gave me the idea to include time stamps in the descriptions. ;)
I love the variety of spells in morrowind, even the more useless spells are great for role-playing
Id totally make a Argonian character that had swift swimming for instance just to roleplay
0 magnitude slowfall completely negates fall damage too, this doesnt slow you at all in air.
FINALLY AN ALTERATION GUIDE! thanks
Morrowind magic schools are so comprehensive in comparison with oblivion and especially skyrim. I miss some effects in skyrim...
I agree! It would have been cool to see more of the Morrowind spell repetoire get the flashy graphical upgrades with Skyrim. Maybe they'll bring back some more spells for TES6, or at least add more, especially if they take away all the new stuff added from Dragon Shouts
@@LyleShnub I theorize they will use some new system with extreme similarity to shouts, due to " not wanting it to feel too different from muh Skyrim"
best guides ever, hands down, undisputed champion! ive watched 3 hours of guides then i found you
I only ever played oblivion and skyrim and I seems like the magic system of morrowind was way deeper
The best part is how far they let you go and break the system if you want to!
Hey Lyle,
These are excellent videos. I'm trying to build a table for efficient spell casting. Keen if you have any resources to have a look.
Also, these are excellent. Would be great to see you complete the schools of magic.
Excellent mechanics video as usual Lyle. :) You helped me realize I waste a lot of points on slowfall because I get constant effects higher than 1 usually simply to avoid fall damage, so thank you. I shall add it on an amulet or something instead of wasting an entire belt.
I like to use feather potions instead of fortify strength because the ingredients are cheaper and the effect lets me carry more and lasts lots longer. At .1 a bottle weight for Heather and Scuttle potions, it can't be beat for dungeon diving.
(I always carry a lot of gear and am a treasure stealer and hoarder in my playthroughs. lol)
And I always make a pair of exquisite "pants of probing" at 100 strength for lock-picking so I don't have to carry picks. lol
Thanks for the kind words! Absolutely agree on the feather potions. Works well too since they'll keep going up in duration and strength as you level alchemy and intelligence. Alcohol (sujamma especially) works great in the early game if you don't mind the debuffs since it's all over the place and cheap from vendors. That said, I know some folks like to roleplay their characters as being non-alcoholic or avoiding other narcotics.
I highly recommend water walking on touch to shorten some tedious escort missions.
Yeah, it's super useful during one of the middle parts of the main quest
@@LyleShnub I just use the fast travel system, escorts fast travel with you if they are nearby when you do it.
I like Feather in Morrowind because it reduces your current carry weight opposed to increasing your maximum. I'm the type of player that wants to carry as little as needed instead of as much as possible.
excellent video!
Ive broken the game a few times (using alchemy) but am still learning new tricks :)
Get 200 pts speed buff from boots of blinding speed, avoid blind effect through various means, make a levitation spell of 1 point for 120 seconds (dirt cheap to make and cast, OR use enchantment to get constant effect of one point) and fly anywhere and everywhere at high speeds.
Also hostile npcs without ranged attacks will just run away from you, cool side effect.
water walking + telekinesis = pearl hunting
just one point of slowfall is something I still didn't know, to negate all fall damage.. that's amazing.. just one point in 'constant effect' on something ,added to something you already enchant, which will add jack all to the cost of enchanting it.. is... quite frankly indispensable. I'm amazed I still learned something.
So now I will enchant the 'escarian shoes' of constant effect slow fall 1' so I can use the icerian flight scrolls. I still cannot spell that word, hence why I spelt it two different ways.
Hahaha, yeah, poor Tarhiel found out how to get +1,000 acrobatics on a scroll, but just couldn't figure out a basic alteration spell
@@LyleShnub In his defense, ascended sleepers and/or golden saints aren't the easiest creatures to soul trap for that constant effect slowfall 1pt so.. he was probably limited by his materials and budget.
@@LyleShnub Also to note, paper has a huge enchant bonus to it!
I want a mod where there is a paper vendor in the beginning town, that restocks 50 sheets everyday.
Finding paper is kind of rare unless you search everywhere, all the time.
@@xenxander in my experience spells trump enchantments any day. You gain experience therefore level with every cast (until max level) and are much simpler as you dont need to soultrap kill a golden saint. I think Tarhiel was simply unprepared for the experience of falling causing him to have a freakout instead of casting a simple slowfall spell or using a second scroll to land safely.
You ever gonna finish these guides me and my girl started a run of Morrowind and this has been a real help
I really have learned quite a bit from your guides. Will you be doing a guide on Restoration spells? If so, I'd like to point that if one acquires "rest of St. Merris" you can literally run from one end of the map to the other without ever having to use a Restore Stamina potion or resting. It also costs 6 magicka, so it should be no problem making it to from Northern Vvardenfell to Southern Vvardenfell. ;)
Yep, I'm intending on making a guide for every spell school in the game. I'm hoping to be get back to making them soon. I had been putting them off for a while to work on a few other projects and then just as I'd finished scripting and recording audio for the next one, I started having computer trouble. Thankfully it's all fixed up now. Just playing catch-up with my other videos to have a decent buffer in case I get sick or anything like that ;)
When using my Jump/Acrobatics spell I jump a bit more than twice the distance when not using Slowfall 1 pts.
I always brew Feather super potions, from other sources I have fortified strength and speed, and with the Boots of Blinding Speed I'm fast as fuck boiiii
Bruh your dark elf got some cake
Water walking + fortify speed to turn rivers into highways
So over all we can basically skip this school. Security allows us to trigger traps (and with Telekinesis we can do so from range), most of the protection, status effect and mobility spells have better options elsewhere and those that are useful only need a 1 magnitude?
I'm sure there's more to the story... thoughts?
Do you have a video on the different ways to move arround in game? Like... Jumping, climbing, levitate, etc...
No, not yet, sorry!
@@LyleShnub i.m not sure if climbing is still a thing or they took it off after daggerfall, but i do remember loving it in daggerfall
Help I made a water walking spell w soul trap on target and now I permanently walk on water and can't swim how do I drain water walking attribute so I can go underwater
13:07 how did do you do that? How do you harvest ingredients as if you were playing Oblivion?
That's a mod. There's actually quite a few of them out there that add this. I saw one that actually removes the exact part of the plant that the item represents rather than removing the entire plant
👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why didn't you pick alteration as a major/minor skill in your let's play :( it looks really cool
Don't worry, I'll certainly won't be avoiding alteration effects in the long run! Making it a misc skill doesn't bar me from using it. I wanted the playthrough to start off without me immediately rushing to get best-in-slot items and working on enchanted sets that let me do all sorts of weird stuff. I fully intend and expect Morrowind Mondays to continue for well over a year as (want to do pretty much everything during the playthrough) and that's plenty of time to experiment with some of the more wild effects later on.
Doesnt feather make you immune to fall damage too?
the magic here is so cool but why did they not give you passive regeneration? That's so annoying
have you done an enchantment vid?
5:11 leeroy jenkins reference ??? Xd
Hi, sorry if you've mentioned it elsewhere, but I was wondering if you have a mod list you're using for these videos?
No worries! I use a mod pack called MSGO 3.0, but I don't really recommend that anyone use it these days. It's pretty out of date now and has a few issues. You can definitely get it working, but it's a pain. Instead, I'd point people to the Morrowind STEP project or the Morrowind Graphics Guide.
It’s crazy how much Oblivion and Skyrim gutted from the vast and amazing but sadly broken magic system of Morrowind
Hi man, what texture packs are you using?
I use MSGO 3.0, but it's pretty out of date now and has some issues. I'd probably recommend checking out the Morrowind Graphics Guide or the Morrowind STEP Project instead
@@LyleShnub thanks man! I originally worked on the very first MGO edition, side by side with Kingpix.
Back then he focused mainly on retaining the best vanillalike experience. Then other people took over the project and it had to change a little bit (expecially because of many modders jealosies and resentments).
Now I'm trying to understand how to properly replicate certain MGSO 3.0 effects with other available mods but I got stuck on certain textures and on the sky (Sky IV and darker night textures just doesn't seem to help me emulate the MGSO 3.0 experience, wich I liked better).
Certain terrain and interiors textures you use seemed different to me, maybe I'm wrong.
please what is this plugin? when you took your mushrom and she disappeared. When I click on a sponge, for example, it opens up mushrom inventory ... but it doesn't disappear
I use the MSGO 3.0 mod pack, however I don't recommend it as it hasn't been updated in a long time and you'll run into some issues. Instead, maybe look into the "Morrowind graphics guide" or the "Morrowind STEP project".
@@LyleShnub Oh thanks :)
Were you using some mod to pick alchemical ingredients without going into the inventory menu?
Yes! I /believe/ that's a toggle-able option within the unofficial Morrowind code patch. I could be mistaken and it may be a different mod, however
There is a mod called graphical herbalism. One of my favorits
How do you cure burden on your own character besides leveling up? I can't seem to find a spell or potion that solves this.
Try dispel to counter non-disease magic effects. Mind you I believe it can also affect positive effects
@@LyleShnub dispel didn't work either. This occured after getting hit by fryse hags on solstheim. I cannot remember the name of the cavern. I also tried going to shrines. Now that I think of it even leveling up does not work. Basically my carry capacity has been capped off. I am not sure if this is the effect of burden on the player but it sounded right. Kind of reminds me of plague effects which I have also tried curing.
@@LyleShnub I think they are using bonewalkers which is what I am getting the effect from.
Ohhhh okay, if it's bonewalkers then that sounds like the damage strength spell they have. You can fix that with a restore attribute (strength in this case) spell effect. If you did the Tribunal expansion, you should have a daily power that restores all attributes by a decent amount. If not, you can get your attributes restored at (i think) all Imperial Cult shrines and certain Tribunal shrines
@@LyleShnub I think I tried a restore strength potion but not the spell. Not sure if that would make a difference. Do you know which mages sell that spell? And does this mean there is an imperial cult shrine on solstheim?
Did u ever do the movement video ?
no
why did you stop with these guides?
where is destruction?
which graphics mod do you have installed?
It's MGSO but it's discontinued buggy and outdated
Also it takes you days to install
Don't get it
@@joachims4726 Thank you.
Poor poor alteration school. It has (in theory) infinite possibilities (manipulation of physical objects) but in reality its nothing more then a situational traversal tool, completly outclassed by both destruction and restoration for its effects. Hopefully its potential will be realised in future tes game, none of the tes games gave it justice.
modlist please?..... pretty please?
I use MSGO 3.0, it's a modpack that has a very guided installation wizard and comes with a lot of settings. Unfortunately, I can't really recommend it these days as it's quite outdated now. It has some issues that you can fix yourself, but they're a total pain in the butt. I'd recommend maybe looking into the Morrowind STEP project or the Morrowind Graphics Guide.
@@LyleShnub Thank you! Great content, keep doing what you do.
Quite useless magic school imo, besides jump and levitation
