I love that the Bloodmoon expansion places the island of Solstheim on the map. If you have the time to waste, you can swim/fly there instead of catching a boat.
I found this out completely by accident. Always assumed you had to travel there conventionally, by ship. Was playing with cheating acrobatics up into the thousands, just screwing around and having some fun with a friend, and then jumped straight to Solstheim. Took me several minutes to figure out what had just happened. I had figured I'd just jump out into an open ocean cell.
Using the Levitation boost from the shrine in Vivec can take you there if you have decent speed. It's kind of funny to go there early on and pick up some of the free end-game gear.
@@heszedjim9699 Sounds like imagining a swim where you don't get wet. The box is. Stepping into the box means accepting its limitations. You won't find "true freedom" in a box, be it a sandbox, gaming console, or PC. That's why we have lives, to unleash potential.
dude the goblins in the sewers was savage. i litterally started a new game after getting raped in the ass by the goblins. i was a full mage with only destruction spells and rest was full magic skills. the goblins are 100 percent magic immune. i remember this so good. i was 14 years when playing this, now im 32 and i remember so bad when these monsters defeated me and i had to create a new character with new skills. one of my second best memories was the vault in vivec, i broke through lol with open lock spell
11:06 There's a neat little sorta-lore tidbit here. The sword is said to kill thieves and traitors, and one of the enchantments is Fire Damage on Self. I always found that interesting.
I still love the little bits of history you can find in those Dwemer ruins. The two ash piles on a bed, with a "small tube" and some "lubricant", with the door ever so slightly ajar and another ash pile outside... Get the feeling there was some FUN times going on just as disaster hit~ Also, having played this first on the OG Xbox, I can say that Bloodmoon kinda sucks on console. There wasn't enough memory or something, or something broke, but Raven Rock would not build. Going back a couple years later with the PC version I got SO much more into it. Raven Rock questline may be one of my favorite in all of Morrowind.
My first time was on the Xbox too, since my PC was old enough to not have a DVD drive to install the GotY version of Morrowind. The mission to kill the smugglers in the cave didn't update properly, maybe one of them clipped out of bounds somehow, I'm not sure. It locked me out of continuing the quest line. I only realized this AFTER saving, and not having a backup save made me restart the whole game to do Bloodmoon. Worth it though.
If I recall correctly (it's been like... 20 years, oh god, what even is time) you can become a werewolf and start the werewolf part of the quest without doing the Skaal part of the quest, which is why you have little incentive not to cure the illness when you *do* actually do that quest. You can basically just contract werewolfitis from fighting wild werewolves, similar to how it works for vampires. And once you turn you get the Hircine side of the questchain.
I remember preferring Tribunal to Bloodmoon just because of that big lively town with lots of rich merchants, artifact museum and probably the best free house in the game.
15:22 something I’ve always really liked about morrowind vs oblivion and Skyrim is that the plot isn’t as simple as good guy vs bad guy and you’re the hero. No one is a saint and everyone seems to be pursuing they’re own interest with varying regard for morality. I’m pretty sure I heard you mention this in a previous video but it makes the story feel a lot more like real life in a way.
definitely. The one great casualty of Toddthesda was nuance. Oblivion: daedra bad, blades good. FO3: enclave very bad, brotherhoodies good. Skyrim: dragon want to blow up world and elf nazis bad because nazi things. Dragonborn good hero man (but can also be a mass murdering, regicidal assassin.) FO4: institute bad. minutemen good.
@@Sarcasmses Toddout is so much wasted potential, because the original writers painstakingly crafted a world where virtually everything was filled with nuance. Right down to super mutants, who used to be relatively intelligent compared to the purposeless killing machines in the new games. The enemies in the newer games just exist to give the player something to shoot at. They basically just reconned everything except the basic elevator pitch of the setting, and pasted in their own generic borefest lore on top of it.
@@ledumpsterfire6474only the original writers frequently retconnned there own things and didnt do a good job with continuity at all either . They didn't even have an explanation for ghouls until bethesda made one up. Yet bethesda has been blasted for the ghoul in the fridge lmao. Like bruh the head of fallout 1 and 2 literally can't even agree on where there own shit comes from
@@Nerevarine420 Dude that makes it even worse lmao. So Bethesda made the lore for the ghouls, then retconned their own lore? Bethesda was so lazy they couldn't even make new factions for Fallout 3. The Brotherhood and Enclave just both conveniently fled to the east coast at the same time. The Brotherhood suddenly had a change of heart and are now super good boys, and the Enclave's big plan is just a reskinned version of the Master's plan, instead of thinking "humanity's best hope is replacing them with mutants", now its "humanity's best hope is to get rid of all the mutants".
@@slimjim69423 It's hilarious how the brotherhood of steel is written in bethesda games vs non bethesda games. Bethesda treats them like this super powerful faction that is the face of the franchise meanwhile in fallout 1 they're a random faction of tech cultists in one little base, in fo2 they're are like three of them after getting destroyed by the enclave, and in new vegas they're reduced to a bunker hiding after getting destroyed by the ncr. Betheda doesn't seem to understand that they aren't some super powerful good guys but just a small relatively radical group.
21:56 In Morrowind there were a ton of Dwemer ghosts around in all kinds of ruins. They were all hostile. For some reason, those did not make it to Skyrim.
When I bought the physical copy of Tribunal and installed it, I expected new maps to appear. When it didn't happen, I thought the disc was faulty and went to the store to return it. Clerk didn't believe me, but I was prepared and took my Morrowind copy with me, so we installed Morrowind and Tribunal on the store PC, and clerk realized I was "right" and gave my money back. I was so angry and disappointed, lol. I found out about my mistake later when we got an Internet connection.
Getting attacked by DB assassins is a really good encapsulation of Morrowind's weird jankiness. You can have an absolutely awful time at low level dealing with it if you're specced wrong, but if you know it's coming it's a great way of getting decent and valuable armour really quickly. It's harsh and uncompromising to serve the creative vision, and really unbalanced in a positive and negative way based on your knowledge.
I use a mod that just removes it until you reach a higher level or a certain point in the main quest. Helseth dispatching assassins to murder some nobody getting off a boat makes less sense than Helseth trying to murder someone gaining the political support of the Great Houses
I don't think the creative vision was for you to immediately be targeted by the Dark Brotherhood right off the boat before anybody even knows who you are. I think it was just a way to get the quest started for players buying the DLC when it was new and forgot to consider that new players might start the game with the DLC already loaded.
@@codyvandal2860 I just made sure to sleep in a building (Guild hall) etc. Then just run outside and the assassin is stuck inside for dealing with them later. I always have a little chuckle imagining the assassin sleeping in the mages guild and it saying "you're awakened by a loud noise" and my guy is there in full armour ready for revenge
Please keep making videos. I cant praice your conctent enough, they are like really the best game related content there is. You make long videos feel short and not boring
Just curious have you thought about doing TR(Tamriel Rebuilt)? I know its a mod but its extremely faithful to the base game, and a large amount of the community really do just consider it cannon.
@@TheSaltFactory I'd love to see see your analysis, I think they do an amazing job of making something original that still feels cohesive with the Bethesda vision.
TR is what Morrowind could have been if Bethesda had enough time and resources to do the entire province of Morrowind. Bethesda was on the verge of bankruptcy when Morrowind released so Morrowind saved Bethesda. So I understand why they had to limit the scope. I'm glad some passionate modders took up the torch to make it what it could have been. Playing TR is worth doing if anyone is on the fence about it.
It feels like I've been waiting my whole life for this ever since your original Morrowind video. So glad you circled back around to the game! Great video as always, pal.
Always preferred Tribunal over Bloodmoon, mostly because of the side quests, they are so much fun from narrative perspective it's a shame the main quest didn't live up to that level of quality.
Almalexia is such a snake. Betrayed you as neravar and cheated on you with Vivec then betrays you again during the dlc She's a gold digging traitor. That chimer poon must've been out of this world good if our character married that snake. Glad she gets to die along with her other traitors.
Tribunal was a slow burn but certified hood classic; the assassination attempts really should've only started once the player character reached a certain level, like 10-15 at minimum. Those Mournhold sewers were a massive gutcheck back in the day when I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I remember getting destroyed for a few hours, then fucking off and never showing my face there again until I was a much higher level. Bloodmoon was actually a let down for me at first because I spent days on the questline where you build a town from scratch, and I was starting to get pissed off because I hadn't seen a single werewolf yet. Come to find out that werewolves don't start showing up until you start a different quest at Frostmoth. After starting that quest, Bloodmoon was awesome
The Ritual of the Gifts was one of the most inspiring questlines as a kid, I simply went off of the text in the book to do the quest and it was the equivalent of reading the Odyssey and actually being able to reenact the fabled feats through context alone! And the only other game that ever invoked the same feeling was Outer Wilds! It also gives interesting insight as to whether you're mantling Aevar Stone-Singer or not...
My memories of Bloodmoon are crystal clear, loved every inch of it pretty much. Especially Raven Rock, loved building my little village and being the werewolf living in the manor. Nothing supicious here at all! The quests weren't the greatest for Raven rock but something about it has stuck with me all these years as a fond memory regardless. That last quest of Bloodmoon was indeed incredibly difficult when I did it. I do think the werewolf quests benefit a lot more from using the werewolfs high stealth capacity to play as a vicious assassin jumpscaring everyone to death. I was way underleveled and was forced into that playstyle and made the whole thing much more exciting. All I remember about Tribunal is dark brotherhood and stalking sewers as a werewolf.
I’ve seen so many videos similar to this, but I always watch them in their entirety, because the way some of you people narrate and write your Scripps and explain the story is so amazing
@@V-Jes if you struggle so hard with taking 15 minutes to basically go literally anywhere in the game just equip your boots of blinding speed and do it in 5
Bloodmoon is one of my absolute favorite pieces of DLC ever created. I loved the quests, both main and side, and especially i fell in love with the amazing atmosphere on the island. Totally different environment from the main game, the snow, the locations, the winter feel of it, awesome.
The werewolf skits neat the end took me by surprise. I smiled at first but then started laughing out loud when the ridiculousness of the visuals got to me. Great job on the comedic timing!
12:30 The reason why the shrine is under the city is because Mournhold is actually 4 cities stacked on top of eachother (daedric shrine->dwemer ruin->old Mournhold->new Mournhold). Old Mournhold got sunk by Mehrunes Dagon, then he was stopped by Almalexia and Sotha Sil, the statue destroyed by fabricants is a commemoration of that.
Damn the amount of hours I put in Morrowind is scary. Growing up and replaying the hell out of these quest. I remember every step and guide. I remember scrolling endlessly at the wiki when it was first developed as it was the best guide out there.
I suppose dwemer ghosts were the ones that died while they were still on Nirn and before Kagrenac made them all disappear since it is not confirmed that they actually died, just disappeared. They wouldn't know what happened to their own kin, just like Yagrum doesn't have a definitive answer about that either.
Fun fact about disposing of spriggan corpses to stop them from resurrecting. An almost identical bug in Arena could be used to stop trolls from regenerating if you "killed" them without using magic damage. Resting would remove all the enemy corpses, so if you just rested as soon as you killed one it would vanish and couldn't regenerate.
The Dark Brotherhood being descended from the Morag Tong was established in Daggerfall in the book The Brothers of Darkness, not in Morrowind. It even describes the Tong as worshipers of Mephala but dosn't go into much more detail than that.
This was a great game. The thing I liked about the dark brotherhood assassins coming at you early is that you could either get a good suit of armor early on or you could sell it for a nice bit of gold to start. Provided you could actually take on the assassins, which wasn't easy. If I recall correctly, they were vulnerable to cold.
their was an NPC in mournhold that asked for money and he gets pissed off when you can't give him more, then he comes at you kitted in full ebony to get revenge on you...
A lot of people mistakenly think that in order to stop the Dark Brotherhood assassins player needs to actually play the questline. This however is not true in game. There are only two requirements player needs to fullfil to stop the Dark Brotherhood assassins from attacking. 1) Get attacked by an assassin at least once 2) Go to Ebon Heart and ask a certain guard NPC about assassins. He will then tell you to go to mainland BUT the moment this conversation happens, Dark Brotherhood attacks are disabled and you can continue your no exploit gameplay in peace until you want to start Tribunal
Just FYI, the spriggans in Daggerfall did not revive after being killed. Was probably something they intended to implement, but like many things in that game never made it to the final release.
First time I played through Morrowind, having no clue what I was doing I wandered into Tribunal by accident assuming it was part of the main storyline, and was completely flummoxed as to why the part in the sewers was so unfairly difficult. I think I ended up grinding to around Level 25 fighting the Dark Brotherhood over and over again(as they endlessly respawn if you leave without killing the leader). Now I realise the main benefit of having Tribunal installed is you can kill the assassin at the start of the game, and then steal the coolest looking armour from them which also happens to give you a massive advantage early on when you're weak as a baby lamb. Dark Brotherhood armour + Boots Of Blinding Speed + Levitation = basically set for the rest of the game.
There is a game that I think that might be up your alley called kingdoms of amalur: reckoning, it has gotten a re-release. It was suppose to be a Skyrimkiller but caused the company that made it to sink. Personally though it is one of my favorite videogames and I would love to see you try it out. It has it's flaws (many) but it also has it's merits. And it is filled to the brim with side-quests which vary from basically being mini-main quests in their own right to simple 'go here, kill this, grab this' quests. It has three classes with different combat options and abilities, and you can multiclass if you want. There is a limited crafting system for potions, smithing, and gemstones which give cool effects. It is far from a flawfless game. Yet it is one that I hold deep to my chest as an old nestalgia game as I had played it before I knew what an elderscrolls was.
I remember when I got the game, it was the GOTY edition. I didn’t realize back then, that the dlc was for higher level players 😂 I went to mournhold quite early and got my ass handed to me in a number of situations ☠️
I did only Temple side of Tribunal storyline and it made similar ammount of sense. Working with Almalexia scheme was better as total devout, but then it stops and sends you to Helset for last part of Trueflame, forcing few misc quests before duel unless you want to nuke whole throneroom. Also I never found DB headquaters. Delay expansion mod triggers assasins when you become hortator/nerevarine/leader of any faction. Makes much more sense if Helset is affraid of twisting power ballance. Downside is, you might be arround lvl 30 then and they spawn in pairs with glass or ebony jinkblades. :D
I love that the Bloodmoon expansion places the island of Solstheim on the map. If you have the time to waste, you can swim/fly there instead of catching a boat.
Or jump if you have that scroll
I found this out completely by accident. Always assumed you had to travel there conventionally, by ship. Was playing with cheating acrobatics up into the thousands, just screwing around and having some fun with a friend, and then jumped straight to Solstheim.

That museum started a dangerous craving in me. Only the dragonborn museum mod in skyrim can quench it now... Both a blessing and a curse.
Both expansions also added spell merchants that sold the incredibly broken Fortify Skill spell effect, but Tribunal had more accessible merchants.

Bloodmoon is one of my absolute favorite pieces of DLC ever created. I loved the quests, both main and side, and especially i fell in love with the amazing atmosphere on the island. Totally different environment from the main game, the snow, the locations, the winter feel of it, awesome.
Very nice I love these vids because you actually have passion and real thoughts as to the changes they should implement
These vids are perfect, I turn them on to watch as I fall asleep and usually continue watching the playlist I have them saved on in the morning.
The werewolf skits neat the end took me by surprise. I smiled at first but then started laughing out loud when the ridiculousness of the visuals got to me. Great job on the comedic timing!
Came home from work and got an almost hour long salt factory video. It is a good start to the week.
This video is a god send! Going to be my good night video for the day.
Love your videos, keep it up
I knew i felt a disturbance in the Force
Glad to hear you again man
Morrowind is the only game in the Elder Scrolls universe that made its legendary gear actually make you feel like a god.
12:30 The reason why the shrine is under the city is because Mournhold is actually 4 cities stacked on top of eachother (daedric shrine->dwemer ruin->old Mournhold->new Mournhold). Old Mournhold got sunk by Mehrunes Dagon, then he was stopped by Almalexia and Sotha Sil, the statue destroyed by fabricants is a commemoration of that.
Damn the amount of hours I put in Morrowind is scary. Growing up and replaying the hell out of these quest. I remember every step and guide. I remember scrolling endlessly at the wiki when it was first developed as it was the best guide out there.
I suppose dwemer ghosts were the ones that died while they were still on Nirn and before Kagrenac made them all disappear since it is not confirmed that they actually died, just disappeared. They wouldn't know what happened to their own kin, just like Yagrum doesn't have a definitive answer about that either.
Just downloaded Tamriel Rebuilt, and now I’m gonna wait until after this
What even is that. Is it a mod for Morrowind or its own thing
@@thedoomslayer5863 A mod for Morrowind, that adds in the rest of the Province, so it’s not just Vvardenfell, so it’s basically a fan-made DLC
Fun fact about disposing of spriggan corpses to stop them from resurrecting. An almost identical bug in Arena could be used to stop trolls from regenerating if you "killed" them without using magic damage. Resting would remove all the enemy corpses, so if you just rested as soon as you killed one it would vanish and couldn't regenerate.
Just watched the last video was wondering when this would come out, great content as always
No way. Just went to bed with a fever of 39,7C, and a new video drops. Lifes amazing at times.
Never thought i needed to see Dagoth Ur with socks and sandles on, but im glad i did.
Always a good day when there's a new Salt factory video
One of the few RUclips videos that I've actually been waiting for, thank you 🙏
The Dark Brotherhood being descended from the Morag Tong was established in Daggerfall in the book The Brothers of Darkness, not in Morrowind. It even describes the Tong as worshipers of Mephala but dosn't go into much more detail than that.
Love that your shirts feature “Treasures of the Hidden Temple’s” Olmec. Classic throwback!
Your morrowind video was the first one I saw, we finally come full circle
Awwwww yiiiissssss, gotta love it when you refresh your youtube feed and there is a Salt video perched at the top like a hot and ready horker
You have the same tone for every sentence, I can't unhear this.
This was a great game. The thing I liked about the dark brotherhood assassins coming at you early is that you could either get a good suit of armor early on or you could sell it for a nice bit of gold to start. Provided you could actually take on the assassins, which wasn't easy. If I recall correctly, they were vulnerable to cold.
their was an NPC in mournhold that asked for money and he gets pissed off when you can't give him more, then he comes at you kitted in full ebony to get revenge on you...
Oh man, I've been waiting for this one!!
Morrowind videos are so relaxing to listen to unlike actually playing it.
Maybe once you're burned out on elder scrolls try enderal. I have a feeling you'd like its strengths with how much you enjoy Morrowind
Yes he did it
A lot of people mistakenly think that in order to stop the Dark Brotherhood assassins player needs to actually play the questline.
This however is not true in game. There are only two requirements player needs to fullfil to stop the Dark Brotherhood assassins from attacking.
1) Get attacked by an assassin at least once
2) Go to Ebon Heart and ask a certain guard NPC about assassins. He will then tell you to go to mainland BUT the moment this conversation happens, Dark Brotherhood attacks are disabled and you can continue your no exploit gameplay in peace until you want to start Tribunal
Just FYI, the spriggans in Daggerfall did not revive after being killed. Was probably something they intended to implement, but like many things in that game never made it to the final release.
Everytime I see salt factory I watch salt factory please make more content I’m begging
You and Strat-Edgy Productions are two of the main reasons I still watch RUclips. Love your videos
Now, how do I explain to my boss why I can't come in to work for another hour...
Ah yes, a new Salt video to watch on repeat as i play Destiny 2 and then while i sleep.
First time I played through Morrowind, having no clue what I was doing I wandered into Tribunal by accident assuming it was part of the main storyline, and was completely flummoxed as to why the part in the sewers was so unfairly difficult. I think I ended up grinding to around Level 25 fighting the Dark Brotherhood over and over again(as they endlessly respawn if you leave without killing the leader). Now I realise the main benefit of having Tribunal installed is you can kill the assassin at the start of the game, and then steal the coolest looking armour from them which also happens to give you a massive advantage early on when you're weak as a baby lamb. Dark Brotherhood armour + Boots Of Blinding Speed + Levitation = basically set for the rest of the game.
the way i instantly canceled plans as soon as i saw this
They turned off my bell thank God I came across this
I waited so long for this video! Worth every minute, Great job Salt!
There is a game that I think that might be up your alley called kingdoms of amalur: reckoning, it has gotten a re-release. It was suppose to be a Skyrimkiller but caused the company that made it to sink. Personally though it is one of my favorite videogames and I would love to see you try it out. It has it's flaws (many) but it also has it's merits. And it is filled to the brim with side-quests which vary from basically being mini-main quests in their own right to simple 'go here, kill this, grab this' quests. It has three classes with different combat options and abilities, and you can multiclass if you want. There is a limited crafting system for potions, smithing, and gemstones which give cool effects. It is far from a flawfless game. Yet it is one that I hold deep to my chest as an old nestalgia game as I had played it before I knew what an elderscrolls was.
Very glad to see this pop in my subscription list. You are excellent!
I'm simple,and Salt Factory and Strat-Edgy post videos close to each other, I watch, I click like, I comment. This is joy.
What about Daggerfall or Arena? I don't really want to play them, but I'd love to watch your treatment and analysis of them!
Good day to upload when the scribes of fate dlc dropped today
Great video! ❤
Perfect timing, I was just starting a new journey in Oblivion.
I remember when I got the game, it was the GOTY edition. I didn’t realize back then, that the dlc was for higher level players 😂 I went to mournhold quite early and got my ass handed to me in a number of situations ☠️
"Kill goblins? Nah I wanna talk to npcs and pick up a newspaper off the ground"
Wearing socks with flip flops is such a sin
Yay! New Salt video!
I think an interesting game you could evaluate is Outward. Very unique game and i think you might enjoy it
Outward is a fantastic little game with a surprisingly big scope. Really fun stuff, I'd like to get around to it sometime
The fact you didn't play the "Skeleton appears" meme at 39:00 makes me sad.
Love the video so far!
The one we've all been waiting for
I did only Temple side of Tribunal storyline and it made similar ammount of sense. Working with Almalexia scheme was better as total devout, but then it stops and sends you to Helset for last part of Trueflame, forcing few misc quests before duel unless you want to nuke whole throneroom. Also I never found DB headquaters.
Delay expansion mod triggers assasins when you become hortator/nerevarine/leader of any faction. Makes much more sense if Helset is affraid of twisting power ballance. Downside is, you might be arround lvl 30 then and they spawn in pairs with glass or ebony jinkblades. :D
I know you’ll do jade empire someday. I won’t stop believing
And your wish came true ❤
100 man years sure sounds better than 50 dudes working for 6 months 😂
Took a half day off for work today and come home to a new salt video. Today is a good day :)
Salt has helped me grind through a lot of dark soul game thanks dude
"Ugh boring algorithm"
*Scroll scroll scroll
"Oh sweet saltfactory with longform content!"
Oh dang I thought you weren't going to do this one. Time to listen in one sitting like normal.
Woo! New salt, it’s a good day.
"Hey! Can you make my blade go Brrrrrrrr!!!???" Excellent! xD

Our Sodium King hath spoken once more, praise be to he!
