Sings-Like-Cor has some serious rizz, wherever he goes, people undress at the sight of him 😂
I'm amazed myself! Glad no one can see me blushing
This has fast become one of the things I look forward to the most in my subscription box each week. I really don’t think that there is another RUclipsr doing something comparable at the moment, certainly not with this timeless once-in-a-generation game. I’ve really been going through it lately, and having this to look forward to each week has honestly been really helpful. Content like this really makes a difference in the world, even if just a small one. Thank you, and thank you, and thank you!!
So happy to read! I'm enjoying playing and glad you're relating to and enjoying it so much.
Sings Like Cor is already a legend, an argonian in Morrowind, working with Telvanni , man has no fear ❤👍
No fear, at all! Tough and sturdy 🦖⚔🔥
Latest rumors: I knew a pilgrim who picked bunches of stoneflowers and corkbulbs while on the go. Eating them served as a nice free remedy for issues with strength and paralysis. He claimed the stoneflowers saved his life when he was chased by bonewalkers. Of course, you can't believe everything people say, even pilgrims.
Good to know 👍
I heard that in times of hardship, the Pioneers used to eat Corral. No wait! It wasn't Corral! Maybe it was sand...
May this pilgrim walk on warm sands one day and drink from the purest of springs, thanks! 👌🏾
Im glad our words lift your spirits, we all want you to be happy!
Incredibly so, thanks!
Another lovely episode of Sings-Like-Cor's adventures! I can always feel the anxiety of using the levitation potions and getting stuck on weird geometry. Almost thought he'd fall but I'm glad he didn't. The most surprising I think was the amount of people getting undressed in front of him. Sings-Like-Cor is one smooth talker for sure.
Sings-like-Cor sure is one smooth Argonian 😏
Yes, Sings-Like-Cor's influence is remarkable. Delighted we can see the world through his eyes 🦖
Loving this series, it's making me feel Very imersed in the journey of this Argonian. Awesome work, keep It up!
Yes indeed. And my! What a well dressed Argonian he is 😏
Thanks a lot, will do!
Great as always
Thanks!
Love me some morrowind role-playing
The Icecap is actually one of the helmets you can wear as an Argonian. And its enchantment is a permanent 30% frost resist. Its not the best enchantment, but it its definatly one of the most useful.
Concerning helmets: Argonians and Khajiit can wear all helmets which are not fully closed. Most heavy helmets are out of question, but some very strong helmets (light and medium) are still wearable.
Edit: Bribing is always easier... everyone likes money.
If I recall correctly, open helmets are pretty well shared between each armour type, though yeah the best ones are Light armour or unique/artifacts.
To go a bit more in technical detail, helmets that can be worn by Argonians & Khajiits are helmets that don't use the _Head_ slot but only the _Hair_ slot, so that they only replace the _Hair_ part of the character model (probably to prevent clipping with the hairstyle or features like horns). Model that is split in about 25 parts aka meshes (hair, head, neck, torso, both shoulders, both upper arms and so on), while armour & clothing replace the designed part/mesh by attributing them to the adequate slot. For example, all vanilla cuirasses are composed of 1 mesh that use the _Torso_ slot, while greaves can be composed of 3 to 5 meshes using 3 to 5 slots: the _Groin_ slot, left and right _Upper leg_ slots and some also have left & right _Knee_ slots. Pretty modular system that allows to separate or mix the parts of an armour piece (remove the big shoulder part of the Dwemer pauldron and integrate it to the cuirass, or make a mix of Daedric-Glass greaves, one leg Daedric, the other Glass!)
Even more fascinating, modders have found out that the boots could also be worn by Argonians & Khajiits if they are "open" boots!
Just like the game seems to check for the use of the _Head_ slot when trying to wear any headgear as either of them, it seems like it only checks for the use of the _Foot_ slot when trying to wear boots or shoes. As each pair of boots in the vanilla game use both _Foot_ and _Ankle_ slots (again to prevent clipping I guess), it doesn't allow any footgear to be worn. *But!* Remove the _Foot_ slots and your Argonian/Khajiit will be able to wear leggings instead of boots, as the mesh using the _Ankle_ slot also includes the shin protection. Well, there's a few exceptions where the boots models are actually made as one single mesh like the "Heavy Leather (aka Colovian fur) Boots" , and not composed of 4 meshes so removing the _Foot_ slot won't remove the foot part of the mesh and it will clip with the character's feet.
If you want to get the mods or just see how it looks like, search *Boots for Beasts* or *Leggings for Beast Races* on the *Nexus* !
Ah interesting thanks for the knowledge. I think mods is out of the question for now, but this means that whenever we get a helmet or pair of boots, it's worth trying them all to make sure
@@CorCanishPlus Nope, boots are all out of question for Argonians and Khajiit. You will actually get a very selfconsious aknowledgment for this aswell further into the game when you enter the AddOns ;)
The reading portions are my absolute favorite.
Mine too, Cor has an incredible voice 😌
Kinda hoping for a CorASMR video at some point, it's also something I'd like to try myself one day.
Glad to read! Happy to do the reading bits
A potion of silence in Morrowind will silence you when you use it, not your enemy. The engine doesn't have the ability to apply it to your weapon outside of enchanting. Best to sell it or keep it in your house as a curiosity.
Poison mods for morrowind are somehow more balanced than base mechanics of later games, as they require preparation before combat. Even then silence poison falls short, unless your enemy is immune to paralisis.
Super, glad we skipped it for now
ah prfect time for an upload, woke up feeling very sick so Imma chill and drink soup while watching B )
Ah crap, hope you're fully recovered by the time you're reading this
great episode as always. :) I faintly remember some of these places from watching my cousin play on the Xbox back in the day
Thanks a lot, yes, certain locations are highly memorable
I'm a little sad to see no more episodes to watch. I just binge-watched all them. I usually don't watch people play games, but you make it a lot of fun, very engaging even for us spectators. I really resonate with Sings-like-Cor and his choices, and I really like watching the role play aspect of this. It's not just a video game we're watching, it feels like I'm watching scenes unfold as Sings-like-Cor tells his story of when he was in Morrowind. Very fun indeed! I hope you're doing well, Cor, I hope winter/the holiday season isn't stressing you out. I look forward to the next episode!
Thanks a lot! Just posted the latest and filmed the subsequent one. Really happy that you're following along and genuinely enjoying and relating to them! 😊
It's good that you didn't forget your quest market to find rasha the argonian!
Yes, even happier to find it again!
im so happy you are enjoying playing morrowind and sharing it with us , i hope in the future you can play other games like oblivion or skyrim too
Thanks! Hopefully so, yes
That's a relief Sings-Like-Cor resolved this rebellion peacefully like that without exposing himself to the wrath of the Telvannis! Maybe they are used to this outcome, or maybe Sings-Like-Cor did not tell them the exact truth.
So he already encountered 2 of the 3 Nord Barbarians who were "betrayed" by "witches"! The last one is a bit more out of the way though, wonder when he'll be found?
Another great episode!
Yes, I think they are used to widespread incompetence due to the ineffectiveness of the faction 😅 Anything goes I'd imagine, but very happy with the outcome indeed
There's one more barbarian standing about. Hopefully we'll find him soon
Morrowind + Argonian = ❤
I’m surprised you’re not harvesting all the wild goodies for potion making
Yes, I should do more ingredient gathering for sure
Here we go again! 😊
All of Vvardenfell to explore, so many questions to answer and people to meet - onwards, dear Sings, onwards! 😁
(Also....sixth adventure already? *Sixth*, what an interesting word...! 😈)
The saints book is fascinating - the simple black-and-white portrayal of history, "us good Dunmer, them evil whoever"; the seemingly randomly assigned patronage of the various professions; the interesting deeds and decisions of the individual saints...
And it makes you wonder about the names of their blessings at their Temple shrines (like the Rock of Llothis - why a rock exactly? 😅)..
Well, a spot of reading after waking up is a popular scholarly sport, after all.
Good for our dear lizard! 😊
Hehe, and the instant "eugh" reaction upon stepping out into the rain - what's the modern way to say this - #relatable? 😅😁😁
Regarding pesky strenght-draining enemies (hate those!) - something enchanted with the Reflect spell might also come in handy (a lot of robes of such sort can be found lying around...or on a fresh corpse, I think 😁), though I'm not that knowledgeable about their success rate - but, y'know, every little pinch of good luck and preparation helps 😁
Levitation must be an awfully strange feeling the first few times one tries it.
I've never used that, uhh, flyboard? I think it's called? thingie, the flying-above-the-waves-propelled-by-water doodah, but I suppose it might feel a bit similar - balancing yourself, trying to control where you rise and where you land, ducking under archways...
Don't you worry, Sings, you'll become a pro at that in no time! 😊
(But the stress Is Real, hahah. "Nonononono hold on a little bit longer -- !!!" - all Nerevarines at some point, pretty much 😆)
And a short-term Levitation enchantment on a ring or an amulet is a good idea for Sings' elevator needs! Them potions aren't cheap, after all 😆😆
Sings' readiness to just casually do some breaking and entering at that Upper Hall door is a nice reminder that while he might be fist-bumping high-ranked Telvanni officials and eagerly accepting their coin, he really isn't here to play nice and straightforward with them 😈
And would it /kill/ them to put a basic floor map and/or important people's locations at the ground floor of the tower, huh? 🙄😆
Eleedal-Lei's story and how it paralles and resonates with Sings' own turbulent life changes -- that is downright narratively delicious.
😊😁
Because for our scaly scholar, this had to be like looking into a mirror of possibilities - what his life could have been, had he been less lucky.
Because /we/ know that Sings is ~not like the other girls~ and destined for greatness, but he himself obviously does not - except for the fore/hindsight timewarp thing, of course! 😁 -- so the mine situation had to cut deep.
He had seen slaves before, but this interaction was...more.
Very happy how it turned out.
And let's hope the freed folk will truly manage to escape and get to safety - they're far from the big towns, so it should be easier to move sneakily about and possibly find an Imperial ship to board/stow away on/let themselves be hired on 😊
Hah, and that good-visibility-mod of yours really does make a difference with all the travelling - seeing a landmark from afar and being able to navigate the terrain better thanks to it definitely makes Sings' life easier 😊😁
"Now it's gonna dig my face!" - but Sings, *we* dig your lovely lizard face! 😁😁😁 Let no hungry hound devour it!
Re: fungal architecture - I suppose it could be done! If I remember correctly, there are some companies that produce mycelium-based furniture and packaging, I think by letting the fungus grow into a specific shape and then drying it somehow...?
(Ah, gotta read "Entangled Life" again 😅😅)
But living in a live one - that would be interesting. Probably a lot of moisture, methinks; the spores might pose a health risk, perhaps?
SO MANY QUESTIONS.
(Just a curious question: why is Sings reluctant to get more chores from the other Mouths? 😁
Does he simply not want to help the House more than is absolutely necessary to advance in the ranks?
Or does he just not want to be swamped with tasks? 😁
It might get him some much needed coin... 😉)
*cough* those who serve Almalexia faithfully may receive her blessing of once-a-day attribute restoration *cough cough* but what would an outlander know about that *cough*
😜😁😁
(Nah, for real now: an enchanted item can do wonders as well. Doesn't need to be 'restore attribute', could be just 'fortify attribute short-term', long enough for you to get to a shrine 😊)
(But enchanting is too darn costly.)
(But Creeper on the thumbnail means Sings is about to Get Rich!)
But it might be worth your time to check out Temple and Imperial Cult priests/workers - both factions might be selling a cheaper levitation spell! 😊
(As you only really need a short-term one for elevator purposes right now 😁)
Helping out people on the road! Except for that one haughty pilgrim because in all honesty, she can damn well take her own arrogant arse beyond the Ghostfence if this is how she treats polite travellers willing to help.
(Those shrill words of hers may even scare cliff-racers away... 😆😆)
Being a well-bred Imperial citizen, Sings has no problem swearing on Zenithar's name. Good. The Divines look kindly on loyal worshippers! 😁
And hahahhh, the "you know what, if you're going to A'R, you might as well take my own shirt, make more money, eh?" thing had me grinning - I suppose Argonians do not sweat (if we can stick to lizard physiology...) and thus the shirt should be just wrinkled and dusty, basically good to go, sold with a little discount and everyone goes home happy 😆
And the paralyzed Nord! Sings was understandably a bit wary after the last such encounter, but things ended up well this time around.
Nice!
Also the journal is indeed a veritable literary treasure 😂😂
"Icecap. It reeka of barbarian." 😆😆
AND OH WOW THE ASSASSIN RETURNS AND THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL okay it's kinda personal every time but WOAH!
The ash storm raging all around really gave it a properly dramatic vibe 😬😬
(I do so enjoy both your cocoa breaks and you taking such good care of Sings, making sure he has a soft bed to sleep in every once in a while! ...even if quite too often circumstances force him to rest outside 😝😆)
Ooh, a savant! If I remember correctly, those have a TON of topics to talk about! 😁
Ienas, Ienas...
True, the individual reward for getting the items back isn't much, but seeing as it's more merchants and one and the same guy, perhaps the cumulative payment will make up for it..? 😁
And WOW, designer shoes with a Light enchantment? NEAT!
(For impressing your friends, definitely.
Stealth-wise, I prefer constant effect Night Eye as that means you see the enemy but they don't see you, whereas Light makes you an actual beacon.
B U T ~At Da Club~ it's all about that glow and shine, so - you do you, Ienas, excellent taste 😆😆😆)
AND YOUR COMPLIMENTS TOWARDS HIM -- by the Three I laughed loads, fabulous work 😆😆😆
Smooth talker, our lizard lad 😏😏
(Also evidenced by the bodices ripping throughout this entire episode 😆😆😆😜)
(...also, I see Sings' past/future quicksave-vision doesn't just cover literal deaths, but deadly societal misshaps as well 😆😆😆😆)
And!
An outlander (and one of the beastfolk at that!) using Temple teachings to school the sinful Dunmer - can't decide whether that's a hilarious or gravely serious matter.
(Both, probably.)
I did enjoy you reading the Sermons; there are some very nice quotes in there. The illustrated editions must be glorious to see; I am discreetly and tentatively hoping for the Skywind modding team to give it a go - they've already done an exquisite job with Vivec's 36 Lessons (the illustrator's nick is "Fury_On", look it up if you have a moment! 😊😊)!
...hah, to be fair, just five minutes of such a strong ash storm would be enough to send anyone on a trip to dear, calm Caldera 😁😁
Ah, Imperial Guards - something of a taste of home away from home for Sings, are they not? 😊
(See, that's another lovely angle - Caldera surely appeals to our lizard with its familiarity...)
Selling a "Summon Scamp" spell? Girl, you can /literally/ just walk down the street and talk to him yourself 🙄🙄😆😆
AND YOU FOUND HIM! 🤩
An excellent way to end the episode: with a friendly face (that just so happens to own a large sack of money 😆😆)!
(Ah, the countless hours spent by selling expensive Daedric stuff to him and buying other items back to balance those 5000 drakes... Vvardenfell economics is in shambles 😂)
Enjoyed this episode very much, thanks for bringing us along! 😊
And fantastic voice-acting as always ♥️
The Nord was especially awesome, I pretty much forgot he wasn't /actually/ dubbed as you talked 😁😁😁
Have a great week - and may the final days of 2023 be a calm and peaceful time for you 😊
Thanks a mill, Hervissa! Hope you're enjoying the season and end of the year.
Good tip about the Reflect spell/enchantment actually! Will be on the lookout for one. And I will be sure to check out Temples for Levitate spells - missed this for the latest episode where I ended up walking around aimlessly.
So much to do, but getting there.
Great video. Sings-Like-Cor is finding his way around Morrowind really well, and making some friends along the way. I like that he has good moral character and is helping people.
As for the 'Icecap', the flaps hanging down from the brim are likely pieces of leather. They are there to help protect the sides and back of your neck, from attacks from behind. The Icecap is a very crude helm version, which - if I am correct in my history 🤔 - is 'somewhat similar-ish' to what Ghengis Khan's warriors wore. Maybe..?.. Although theirs were much, much nicer. As I said though, I could be confusing it with another helm style (there are other variations in history, I just don't remember where 🤦♀😂), so anybody who does know, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. 😄
Anyway, that hot cocoa sounds delicious. Just add peppermint and marshmallows. Mmmmm, yum.
The hot chocolate added so much to the experience 🥳☕ Marshmellows for sure and will give the peppermint a go
Didn't notice those details on the helmet, but yes, I can imagine that the real life equivalent/reference is more aesthetic 😅 We will find a good-looking hat in episode 8 for sure 🦖🧢
@@CorCanishPlus A new hat, yes!😀 Sings-Like-Cor definitely rocks that Colovian helm/hat. Maybe he can find another one.
Has it been that many episodes already?! 😂Time sure flies, when we're having fun. 😄 I'm really enjoying this journey through Morrowind.
Hope you've been having a wonderful holiday season. Take care and best wishes. ☘
drinking multiple potions not only increases the amount they heal but how fast they heal. potion effects also stack.
Ahhh, delighted to read, thanks
@@CorCanishPlus sorry if this was a spoiler but i thought it was kinda unknown i did learn about that for some time, especially the stacking effects
Ald-ruhn is my favorite place for the architecture right next to the Telvanni towers! Morrowind worldbuilding goes hard and I love it so much
It does go hard! Great creativity
Wow, I didn’t know how much I needed content like this, it’s the best! I cannot wait to see more, see where the adventure takes Cor. Morrowind is still one of my favorite games of all time.
Super excited to see other games being played the same way as well! It’s the kind of adventure story I signed up for ❤
So happy to hear! Hope the charm and enjoyment stays over the following episodes
Those voiceover parts yet another time prove you to be (potentially?) a talented actor. (I especially tend to like the manly man deep voice bits 😉)
Agreed, though I actually like the posh feminine voice Cor uses for the Breton characters. Not sure what that says about me but I'm okay with it 😅
That one too of course 😊
1:31:36 Cor actually can work like AI voice generator that can 'receive pronunciation', train the voice and generate voiceover. Of course he does it much better, with solid bits of humor and a good portion of creativity.☺
Thanks a lot, both of you! Will keep trying out different voices 🎤
Quest tab in your jounal shows only active. Some are bugged and don't close properly if you choose certain path. You'd need some mods like patch for purists to fix it.
Ah, thanks for letting me know!
So glad you didn't end up with Telvana as your patron! XD
I know, must be something else for sure 💀
Another banger of an episode, great job to both of you! You're doing the Divine's work indeed 😁
You'll also be glad to hear I managed to actually stay awake this time around. How could I not though with all the strapping fellas in this episode? **growl**
You're right Cor... Ain't nothing wrong with a bit of sexual tension 😜
Thanks a mill, feel free to fall asleep to these as well 😄 But yes, don't want to miss out on the carnal moments
Den kører i baggrunden her ^^
Hahah, sådan! 🤭😂
Imagine being a conservative Telvanni mage and then you see a random Argonian slowly replace your job.
They should've seen it coming 🤭🦖
You know some people love posting timestamps in their comments, do you Cor? But, you do it yourself as it turns out, and thus steal the opportunity from your subscribers to cater you and other viewers.
Ahhh, good point! Will refrain from doing so in eventual episodes. Did so in the latest, but will give others the option to be creative with them 😊
