Morrowind is a perfect example of why games don’t need to be perfectly balanced though. The freedom of systems like spell creation are part of what make the game so fun and replayable!
You can break any game you want really if you just look up cheap ways to do it on the internet, but doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of playing the game and figuring it out on your own?
@@liamconverse8950 everyone who played it the first time of course played it with no exploits. Players only go to exploit territory when they already have experienced most of what the game has to offer.

The game broke me. I played for like 15 minutes, got to Solstiem, and gave up because I had just come from Skyrim and Oblivion I couldn't handle it. I didn't even understand how to fight properly.
That's not how you steal stuff in the tutorial area. In fact when he opens the inventory 7:40 you can see he has nothing of what he thought he had stolen. When the guard halted him, they confiscated the stolen items. To prevent this, you need to place the item on the floor right after you take it.
Gilpow ive seen a couple of videos about this guy “breaking a game”.... he does a terrible job at it..... just clicked on this to verify he has not improved since...
If I remember well, he said to take the release order from the table and put it back, after which you can steal the books on the shelf and the guard won't do anything. It's when you have the release order in your inventory that you'll be arrested, and that's when the books are confiscated.

Did that with god mode on. This is one of the few games you can be killed by damage with god mode enabled. Just make your kamehameha and shoot an atronach. They have 20% reflect, and the damage overflow will kill you while you are in godmode.

I used to enchant shields with levitation and magic resistance, matched with the boots of blinding speed. I got so bored after beating the game that I just flew around nuking towns with insanely powerful spells.
Did the same with Oblivion in a legitimate save with no cheatsies. Made a drain health spell that had range and OHKO'd every NPC bar the flagged important NPCs. Oblivion is actually so good :')
I seem to remember enchanting my armour to get 100%, or very near it, damage reflect in Oblivion. Just walked around letting everything hit me till it died.
Skooma also stacks, so you can huff a thousand bottles of the stuff and jump across Vvardenfel in one hop (getting splatted by Mistress Gravity at the end).
It was a beautiful moment when I made potions so strong I got 50k Intelligence and Luck, made a series of spells Hand of God #1-3, which got my hand to hand up to 2500. One power attack knocks Mournhold guard down for an entire minute. Good times 10/10

it does "work" he just did it wrong, you grab it then it says your crime has been reported then you open your inventory and set it down then they tell you its ok then you grab it.
I remember playing Morrowind when it first came out, I noticed you can barter into the negative, and so for fun I tried to offer -200 for something worth 200, and it worked. I got the item and 200 coins
@Jon Dillon you have to drop the limeware plate before the guard talks to you, otherwise the guard takes it from you. If you look at his inventory when he shows it afterwards, he doesn't have anything but the release papers.
You actually want Luck, not Intelligence. Fortify Ability can be bought at the first town with a bit of Exploration. There's also a Quest for locating the local Tax Collector (no Quest Giver NPC), you can Rob him of his Gold (corpse guarded by some Mud Crabs near the first town on a little bit of land with heavy bushes, it's about the same distance to the oversized flea you can hire as a transport), then say he had nothing to the guy who asked for your class. Those items you stole at the beginning can be actually stolen, but you need to Drop them before you are spoken to. You can comfortably leave the first town with roughly 1k if you do all of the quests, which involves beating up the murderer of the Tax Collector (in the Slums, he fist fights you) as well as looting a secret stash in a hollow treestump (you can spy on the guy putting it in the stump from atop the Lighthouse). With 100k Luck you can literally buy things for free, which is normally an infinitesimally close to zero percent. Like, literally 1 Gold has a 1000% higher chance to succeed, not an exaggeration. Also, for more stable Spellmaking, you want to set both to 2 Seconds. Additionally, if you play as a Kahjit your Character gets Bonus Damage on your Punches. Can't break your Fists. Also, if you follow the path left, you can find 3 Scrolls of Fortify Acrobatics (the only 3 I'm aware of in the game). Hodd Toward is actually not the strongest, as I had Fortify 199.9k in every Stat. Once a Stat reached Lv 100 it would have totaled 200k. If you don't have Spell Reflection or Spell Absorption you can lose your godly fortifications to a stray Dispel.
You can also give the money (200 gold) of the tax collector to socucius, kill the murderer and get 500 gold as reward. Plus some healing potions from the lighthouse lady iirc.
@@Yotanido Yeah, but my point was that you don't *need* to return the money, as there is no benefit for it outside of Fame. You can keep the cash, kill the murderer, get the items from the Widow & the bounty from killing the murderer. 700 Gold + Loot from that Quest alone. Also there's some Lockpicks you can use to unlock a Chest before you exit the first building with your papers, and the Magic Ring in the barrel just before the second building. The first town is absolutely full of loot.
@@BlueNEXUSGaming Oh, for sure. There's even an axe in a tree stump. The ring you actually have to take, or it won't let you through the door. As for the chest, you get directed toward it when you pick up the lock pick, though there's only like 30 gold in there. Didn't know you get the 500 gold even if you don't give him the money. Good to know.
@@Yotanido Oh? I sometimes left the Ring behind actually. Perhaps they patched it. I was on the Xbox Original version (complete with the memory overflow crashes)
@@BlueNEXUSGaming Ah, I've only ever played the game of the year edition on PC. (Using vanilla engine at first and in the last two years or so with OpenMW)

In this video he says you can just walk up to the mages guild quest giver at level one and they'll give you the quest to go to the argonian in the South Wall corner club but that's not even true there are a number of prerequisites before you can get that Quest that this video doesn't mention...
I can just imagine the reaction from the villagers from Balmora "Hey you know that outlander that arrived in town last night" "He is now essentially a god now"
"I met him this morning. He was so charming I sold him everything in my shop for 1 gold. Then he summoned an army of zombies and turned invisible. Somehow I still found him very charming, though."
One of my favorite things about playing Morrowind "As intended" was that some things were just tougher than you. You walk into the wrong bandit cave and a level 20 bandit with a glass war-axe of paralysis would just light your shit up. More modern games like Oblivion and Skyrim would scale the enemies with your player level so you always had a fighting chance. There were some truly hard enemies in Morrowind that were just unbeatable if you weren't tough enough.
I experienced something like that when a big maggot thing chased me screaming all the way out of the swamp and back into town where it killed several guards while i coward in a corner but i got a bunch of free gear from the aftermath XD
Huh? Draugr lords, giants and mammoths for example have a minimum level. You cant beat them right away. Actually most enemies are at least level 10 and start to scale later on. I died enough times in Skyrim fighting enemies that were still too strong for me.
@@phoenixlordx4625 Agreed, my first troll whooped my ass. Many of the enemies scale with you though. In oblivion quest rewards would scale with you as well, and if you wanted the best possible gear you had to be like level 26. Doing a quest for a good unique weapon super early would render it almost useless much later in the game, since it would stay scaled down for a lower level character. In Morrowind if you could find some end-game gear early on it stayed good for the whole game.
They both have their own implementation flaws. Skyrim's endgame levelled experience gets frustrating, because you know logically you should be OP but you're still meeting random starting area bandits who pose a serious challenge, even though you've killed dragons and ended civil wars. Morrowind's unlevelled structure is better, but without any crafting professions or ways to improve your gear, improving your character basically amounts to a treasure hunt. You can get lucky (or rob the Redoran vault) and be OP, or you can be unlucky, find no decent gear for your class, and really struggle. Both games also have a problem with unlevelled quest NPCs. Both have quest chains with preset NPC stats and situations. These assume a player will encounter them at a certain level, but because they're open world games, players don't - they might pursue a central quest much earlier or later than expected, and find it impossible or trivially easy as a result. Both games could be drastically improved, I think, by squishing all of the stats. The whole problem is that, when you're low-level, tougher enemies aren't merely tough - they're unkillable. You get ganked by local wildlife that should just be fairly tough, because the numbers say you can't win yet. This aggressive difficulty curve encourages players to find ways to OP themselves. In Oblivion and Skyrim, the game then responds to players becoming OP by artificially scaling up enemies, which robs the player of any sense of being OP, which is frustrating after they've worked hard to attain it. Squishing the disparity between low and high level stats would fix all of this. If all actors had stats on a similar scale, the focus of levelling up would be on obtaining new, useful skills, rather than playing the numbers game. Rather than inflating health, armor and magicka pools, have players gradually unlock more kinds of mitigation and defense so they get tougher. Rather than inflating damage stats, have them unlock more utility abilities to gain new tactical advantages in combat. Skyrim has mitigation, defensive abilities and utility abilities already, but most are buried really far into the various skill trees and they've overshadowed by the race for bigger stats. TL;DR: they should reduce all the numbers to a smaller range, so that the focus is on skills and abilities rather than min-max stat buffing.

@@XenophonQ This is the way to play it right here. Plus there are (I think) 2k/4k textures available too. It absolutely destroys vanilla Oblivion by comparison.
This game was where I learned the definition of "exploits." The potion vendor in Balmorra that would restock her supplies based off of what you solder her, so you could exponentially increase her stock of anything. Then use that to make potions of increasingly powerful strength, which you sell her to buy ingredients, and make ultra potions of all your stats.
Wouldn't that lead to a problem where if the potions wear off, you'd die because the game would subtract the added health from your HP bar? So you'd need to keep on buying those ingredients, selling everything you own just to stay alive as withdrawal would kill you?
@@stylesrj nah because once they are potent enough it sorta works like the soul trap. They _do_ wear off, but you have such a long time you can easily remember to refresh.
This. Potions are the real exploit. Make a potion of fortify int. Drink it. Make another. Repeat. Each one fortifies more and last longer than the previous. Pretty soon you have what is essentially infinite int for essentially infinite duration. But be careful with the speed potions. Very easy to make the game unplayable. Like, tap forward and travel across half the continent unplayable. Clip through textures unplayable. Stick with the spell for fortifying speed.
Funny thing in the Census area where the Captain gives your duties. He happens to have a warehouse key behind in the bookshelf. You can drop every item you've looted in the previous room (making sure the cursor doesn't just delete the dropped item) and swiftly grab the key & open your inventory. You drop the key, be warned once more that this is a tutorial area, then proceed on picking up everything you've dropped. All items dropped are overwritten from being stolen items & won't cause any trouble picking them back up. The very next door in front happens to be the warehouse and with the key, you can plunder every confiscated goods in there including a decent armor set, Skooma & Moon Sugar. You can set your path to Balmora & the mage guild's Khajiit will be happy to buy off any illegal goods. 2000 g per day to be made.
@@thespiffingbrit To be fair, you start as a prisoner on a boat, heading to a very large island, honestly I thought you would go with a name with an Australian theme.
For some extra fun: I believe that if you put a few points of AOE on a cast on target buff, you can permaspell other entities with the soultrap cheese. This means those permanent summons can also have ten thousand health and deal apocalyptic damage with their total lack of weapon durability.
Random Lore: the Siltstriders (the thing Spiff was terrified about at the start) are the main transport in Morrowind they are controlled by carving those strange crevices into their back and directly pull on their exposed nerve-ends.
@alvi syahri basically, your character is trash. If you keep fighting for a while you'll level your skills up and hitting your strikes will become easier
@@majormarketing6552 The higher your luck is, the more likely the chance is of someone attacking you 'missing' the strike. You can exploit the alchemy skill by stockpiling items that fortify just about anything, you can create potions that increase your luck by thousands that lasts for a very long time. Basically anyone can just keep hammering on you and not hitting ever.
@@majormarketing6552 Luck effects literally every calculation in the game. Any time your luck goes up, you become better at EVERYTHING including things that no other stat effects. You should always put a point into luck when you level up, and it's probably best to take luck as 1 of your 2 favored stats when creating your character because it's always useful.
Putting max sanctuary on was pretty fun too. You could also drain any skill by 100 points for 1 sec on self and then train with a novice trainer for one gold. The spell wears off and you keep the point. You can get almost every stat to 100 with the beginning trainers in Balmora. It's pretty great.
That can be exploited even further by making a spell "Drain skill 100 on self and Fortify Skill 100 on touch". That way you can turn any trainer into a master level trainer for every skill for which you make a spell because as soon as one of his skills is raised to 100 he will offer training for that skill.
I can still hear the intro dialog in my head, by Azura i love this game:). "stand up, there you go. you were dreaming." And.. "Ahh yes, i've been expecting you."
I loved watching this so much. Me and my friend used to do this when we were obsessed with this game when I was 13 (15 years ago!!) finished whole playthroughs with suped up characters. Only prob was the guilds would still read your stats as the base number for advancement requirements.
"I feel like half this game was made by todd howard on drugs" Close, it was made by Kirkbride, who was definately on drugs when he did the lore and story concepts for the game.
@@siegfriedhiryu4660 It was only true to my knowledge for when he wrote the 36 lessons of Vivec, people take that interview and try to extend it to the whole game.
Morrowind is still my favorite game and some of my favorite exploits. Using Soul Trap on a summon spell is my favorite exploit; I always do Golden Saints. Basically makes the game into mount and blade. I always used the intelligence potion to get mega smart though. Because intelligence also makes potions better...

Pause, click on the platter, drop it, unpause, get scolded, pick up the platter. You only get flagged as a thief the first time you pick a given thing up, but when you get scolded your stolen items teleport into the evidence chest. People high enough in the imperial knights are allowed to pick the lock on the evidence chest and take it back out, though. Also, you don't need soul trap specifically, any on-target spell will work as long as it hits terrain and not a target, and any primary effect will become permanent as long as a second one whiffs. A good one is 'drain fatigue in 50 on target' and some other thing on target, and then try to hit near a target. The permanent drain fatigue will make anything pass out.
I loved how broken morrowind was.. I made a ring that was levitate 1 pt on self.. I could walk into the sky.. bt I made a spell where you would summon golden saints and soul trap them looking down so they were permanent companions till they died.. when I got in combat I'd put my ring on and walk into the sky and summon a horde of golden saints to decimate my foes!! my only weakness were cliff racers.
@@XenophonQ I disagree tbh. I agree that it's a big improvement, but to say that it looks better than skyrim... The npcs just look very bad, you can't solve that by just improving the graphics.

There really isn't a way to make it look as good as games that are released today without completely rebuilding it.
Skyrim the dad who sleeps around with anything it can and dolls itself up to keep going. Morrowind the mother who was good to us and sure, the years have started to take it's toll but its a refreshing experience to return to what is always good.

If you get stuck enter "Fixme" into the console" Also when you get caught stealing in the tutorial area the stolen goods get confiscated, to get around this put them on the floor before you get caught, once you've done this with everything you want to pinch you just pick it all up off of the floor. There's a lot of "duties" you need to do before she gives you that mission.
That giant bug is Morrowind's answer to the horse and cart in Skyrim, it's a hideous monstrosity, that he controls by prodding the thing's brain with teaspoons.
You actually want to fortify your willpower at Max 1st because that will allow you to cast any spell successfully as long as your will power is high enough so if it's set at a 1000 every spell you cast should be successful. However you have to start small and create multiple spells Starting off with one that will increase your willpower by 1 to 5 points. When spell is a 100% successful create another spell 10 to 20 and then so forth. As far as the money goes it's better to buy from the fighters guild with a 1000 personality buying armor and then selling it back to them. By fortifying your strength and all other skills bthose skills before you could essentially increase your armor skill for repairing your weapons once they break repair them and gain experience doing so. Is following the previous steps to gain unlimited repair tools you could Max out your armorer skill
My favourite trick in Morrowind was using the construction kit to make a potion that lasts for a minute or two and maxes out your acrobatics and speed, and also makes you walk on water and jump like 50 to 100 feet in the air. It's pretty fun, you feel like Superman, running around super fast and leaping over tall Silt Striders in a single bound, running across the surface of lakes and rivers, and jumping up mountains like they're mole hills.
In Morrowind it is possible to jump over the whole map in just one single leap. A jump spell, a fortify acrobatics spell, and an enchanted item with just 1 point of feather fall, and you are all set. Dont use more than point of slow fall, or you wont be able to jump nearly as far. Not only is it the single most effective way of getting around, it is also hillarious.
@@CloseingStraw97 I'm not sure if it was d&d specifically, or homebrew. If it was d&d it would have been 2nd or 3rd addition at the time. Kirkbride played as Vivec, and his friends were other members of the tribunal, and the original Neravar I think.

@@obct537 You mean costant enchantments? What's the exploit about them? You can't just make anything constant, it depends on the magial capacity of the item.

It's a long way to go to get there.

Morrowind is the type of game in which either you break it or it breaks you.
I didn't even get out of the tutorial area without the game breaking itself. It crashed so much I just gave up on it.
i counldnt find the corner club before it crashed
The game broke me. I played for like 15 minutes, got to Solstiem, and gave up because I had just come from Skyrim and Oblivion I couldn't handle it. I didn't even understand how to fight properly.

When the guard halted him, they confiscated the stolen items. To prevent this, you need to place the item on the floor right after you take it.

@@nazzeem_4388 you just need to do more quests, don't worry
Have fun!
@Jon Dillon you have to drop the limeware plate before the guard talks to you, otherwise the guard takes it from you.
If you look at his inventory when he shows it afterwards, he doesn't have anything but the release papers.
You actually want Luck, not Intelligence.
Fortify Ability can be bought at the first town with a bit of Exploration.
There's also a Quest for locating the local Tax Collector (no Quest Giver NPC), you can Rob him of his Gold (corpse guarded by some Mud Crabs near the first town on a little bit of land with heavy bushes, it's about the same distance to the oversized flea you can hire as a transport), then say he had nothing to the guy who asked for your class.
Those items you stole at the beginning can be actually stolen, but you need to Drop them before you are spoken to.
You can comfortably leave the first town with roughly 1k if you do all of the quests, which involves beating up the murderer of the Tax Collector (in the Slums, he fist fights you) as well as looting a secret stash in a hollow treestump (you can spy on the guy putting it in the stump from atop the Lighthouse).
With 100k Luck you can literally buy things for free, which is normally an infinitesimally close to zero percent.
Like, literally 1 Gold has a 1000% higher chance to succeed, not an exaggeration.
Also, for more stable Spellmaking, you want to set both to 2 Seconds. Additionally, if you play as a Kahjit your Character gets Bonus Damage on your Punches. Can't break your Fists.
Also, if you follow the path left, you can find 3 Scrolls of Fortify Acrobatics (the only 3 I'm aware of in the game).
Hodd Toward is actually not the strongest, as I had Fortify 199.9k in every Stat. Once a Stat reached Lv 100 it would have totaled 200k.
If you don't have Spell Reflection or Spell Absorption you can lose your godly fortifications to a stray Dispel.
You can also give the money (200 gold) of the tax collector to socucius, kill the murderer and get 500 gold as reward. Plus some healing potions from the lighthouse lady iirc.
@@Yotanido
Yeah, but my point was that you don't *need* to return the money, as there is no benefit for it outside of Fame. You can keep the cash, kill the murderer, get the items from the Widow & the bounty from killing the murderer. 700 Gold + Loot from that Quest alone.
Also there's some Lockpicks you can use to unlock a Chest before you exit the first building with your papers, and the Magic Ring in the barrel just before the second building.
The first town is absolutely full of loot.
@@BlueNEXUSGaming Oh, for sure. There's even an axe in a tree stump. The ring you actually have to take, or it won't let you through the door.
As for the chest, you get directed toward it when you pick up the lock pick, though there's only like 30 gold in there.
Didn't know you get the 500 gold even if you don't give him the money. Good to know.
@@Yotanido
Oh? I sometimes left the Ring behind actually. Perhaps they patched it. I was on the Xbox Original version (complete with the memory overflow crashes)

I don't see the difference.
One of my favorite things about playing Morrowind "As intended" was that some things were just tougher than you. You walk into the wrong bandit cave and a level 20 bandit with a glass war-axe of paralysis would just light your shit up. More modern games like Oblivion and Skyrim would scale the enemies with your player level so you always had a fighting chance. There were some truly hard enemies in Morrowind that were just unbeatable if you weren't tough enough.
I experienced something like that when a big maggot thing chased me screaming all the way out of the swamp and back into town where it killed several guards while i coward in a corner but i got a bunch of free gear from the aftermath XD
Huh? Draugr lords, giants and mammoths for example have a minimum level. You cant beat them right away. Actually most enemies are at least level 10 and start to scale later on. I died enough times in Skyrim fighting enemies that were still too strong for me.
@@phoenixlordx4625 Agreed, my first troll whooped my ass. Many of the enemies scale with you though. In oblivion quest rewards would scale with you as well, and if you wanted the best possible gear you had to be like level 26. Doing a quest for a good unique weapon super early would render it almost useless much later in the game, since it would stay scaled down for a lower level character. In Morrowind if you could find some end-game gear early on it stayed good for the whole game.
They both have their own implementation flaws. Skyrim's endgame levelled experience gets frustrating, because you know logically you should be OP but you're still meeting random starting area bandits who pose a serious challenge, even though you've killed dragons and ended civil wars.
Morrowind's unlevelled structure is better, but without any crafting professions or ways to improve your gear, improving your character basically amounts to a treasure hunt. You can get lucky (or rob the Redoran vault) and be OP, or you can be unlucky, find no decent gear for your class, and really struggle.
Both games also have a problem with unlevelled quest NPCs. Both have quest chains with preset NPC stats and situations. These assume a player will encounter them at a certain level, but because they're open world games, players don't - they might pursue a central quest much earlier or later than expected, and find it impossible or trivially easy as a result.
Both games could be drastically improved, I think, by squishing all of the stats. The whole problem is that, when you're low-level, tougher enemies aren't merely tough - they're unkillable. You get ganked by local wildlife that should just be fairly tough, because the numbers say you can't win yet. This aggressive difficulty curve encourages players to find ways to OP themselves. In Oblivion and Skyrim, the game then responds to players becoming OP by artificially scaling up enemies, which robs the player of any sense of being OP, which is frustrating after they've worked hard to attain it.
Squishing the disparity between low and high level stats would fix all of this. If all actors had stats on a similar scale, the focus of levelling up would be on obtaining new, useful skills, rather than playing the numbers game. Rather than inflating health, armor and magicka pools, have players gradually unlock more kinds of mitigation and defense so they get tougher. Rather than inflating damage stats, have them unlock more utility abilities to gain new tactical advantages in combat. Skyrim has mitigation, defensive abilities and utility abilities already, but most are buried really far into the various skill trees and they've overshadowed by the race for bigger stats.
TL;DR: they should reduce all the numbers to a smaller range, so that the focus is on skills and abilities rather than min-max stat buffing.
@@phoenixlordx4625 A lot of people don't realize how levelled the game is.

This game was where I learned the definition of "exploits."
The potion vendor in Balmorra that would restock her supplies based off of what you solder her, so you could exponentially increase her stock of anything. Then use that to make potions of increasingly powerful strength, which you sell her to buy ingredients, and make ultra potions of all your stats.
Wouldn't that lead to a problem where if the potions wear off, you'd die because the game would subtract the added health from your HP bar?
So you'd need to keep on buying those ingredients, selling everything you own just to stay alive as withdrawal would kill you?
@@stylesrj nah because once they are potent enough it sorta works like the soul trap. They _do_ wear off, but you have such a long time you can easily remember to refresh.
@@2013Arcturus
How long are we talking about? In-game years?
This. Potions are the real exploit. Make a potion of fortify int. Drink it. Make another. Repeat. Each one fortifies more and last longer than the previous. Pretty soon you have what is essentially infinite int for essentially infinite duration. But be careful with the speed potions. Very easy to make the game unplayable. Like, tap forward and travel across half the continent unplayable. Clip through textures unplayable. Stick with the spell for fortifying speed.
The 100 stat man is back as Hodd Toward in Morrowind
Funny thing in the Census area where the Captain gives your duties. He happens to have a warehouse key behind in the bookshelf. You can drop every item you've looted in the previous room (making sure the cursor doesn't just delete the dropped item) and swiftly grab the key & open your inventory. You drop the key, be warned once more that this is a tutorial area, then proceed on picking up everything you've dropped. All items dropped are overwritten from being stolen items & won't cause any trouble picking them back up. The very next door in front happens to be the warehouse and with the key, you can plunder every confiscated goods in there including a decent armor set, Skooma & Moon Sugar. You can set your path to Balmora & the mage guild's Khajiit will be happy to buy off any illegal goods. 2000 g per day to be made.

@@majormarketing6552 The higher your luck is, the more likely the chance is of someone attacking you 'missing' the strike. You can exploit the alchemy skill by stockpiling items that fortify just about anything, you can create potions that increase your luck by thousands that lasts for a very long time. Basically anyone can just keep hammering on you and not hitting ever.
@@majormarketing6552 Luck effects literally every calculation in the game. Any time your luck goes up, you become better at EVERYTHING including things that no other stat effects. You should always put a point into luck when you level up, and it's probably best to take luck as 1 of your 2 favored stats when creating your character because it's always useful.
Putting max sanctuary on was pretty fun too. You could also drain any skill by 100 points for 1 sec on self and then train with a novice trainer for one gold. The spell wears off and you keep the point. You can get almost every stat to 100 with the beginning trainers in Balmora. It's pretty great.
That can be exploited even further by making a spell "Drain skill 100 on self and Fortify Skill 100 on touch". That way you can turn any trainer into a master level trainer for every skill for which you make a spell because as soon as one of his skills is raised to 100 he will offer training for that skill.

This game saved Bethesda from bankruptcy. Also Todd had next to nothing to do with it. Coincidence? I think not.
But Todd Howard was in charge of producing the game?
@@feefaa5506 and basically everything good about it had to be snuck past him because he didn't like anything that made the game unique. Like there's a book where the God Vivec 69s the Daedric King of Rape.
That's a bit of a far fetched statement to say this book meant he had nothing to do with the game but oke
@@feefaa5506 look up polygon's oral history of morrowind. basically everyone that worked on the game says that todd was not a fan of the more creative stuff

Seeing the "sir dr" part at the beginning reminded me of my titles. I got bored over a few months so decided I'd try to collect as many titles as possible so far i have "lord sir reverend" but now it seems I need to work on the doctorate too
spiff: Todd Howard made this game while on drugs and having nightmares.
spiff but in the character creation menu: totally not horrifying.
It was not Todd Howard but Michael Kirkbride who wrote the lore for Morrowind high on drugs in his basement
@Sightless_Seeker You mean Confessions of a Dunmer Skooma-Eater?
7:41 Spiff didn't grab anything in the tutorial room. That's not how the glitch is preformed.
You gotta drop them as soon as you pick them up. I remember from when I was a kid playing this.
Pause, click on the platter, drop it, unpause, get scolded, pick up the platter. You only get flagged as a thief the first time you pick a given thing up, but when you get scolded your stolen items teleport into the evidence chest. People high enough in the imperial knights are allowed to pick the lock on the evidence chest and take it back out, though.
Also, you don't need soul trap specifically, any on-target spell will work as long as it hits terrain and not a target, and any primary effect will become permanent as long as a second one whiffs. A good one is 'drain fatigue in 50 on target' and some other thing on target, and then try to hit near a target. The permanent drain fatigue will make anything pass out.
I loved how broken morrowind was.. I made a ring that was levitate 1 pt on self.. I could walk into the sky.. bt I made a spell where you would summon golden saints and soul trap them looking down so they were permanent companions till they died.. when I got in combat I'd put my ring on and walk into the sky and summon a horde of golden saints to decimate my foes!! my only weakness were cliff racers.
Dr. Hodd looked at a paintbrush and went: "This, this is the pinnacle of hairstyles."
Or an onion bulb.. Godd Coward has layers.
In my mind this game looked just as good as Skyrim. childhood ruined.
But skyrim is ugly and muddy. There are mods that make morrowind look quite good. Not a solutly amazing but you can get it looking rather good.
If you install the Morrowind Sound and Graphics overhaul, it honestly looks better than vanilla skyrim.
@@XenophonQ Except the water. Nothing will fix the water.
@@XenophonQ I disagree tbh. I agree that it's a big improvement, but to say that it looks better than skyrim...
The npcs just look very bad, you can't solve that by just improving the graphics.
Morrowind is still my favourite Elder Scrolls game (currently playing it again with openMW on my phone), but it's 17 years old. There really isn't a way to make it look as good as games that are released today without completely rebuilding it.
In my mind, Skyrim looked just as good as this game.
This game truly makes you feel like the reincarnation of an ancient warrior hero of the dunmer.
Welcome moon and star.
As the self-appointed President of the Reanu Keeves Can Flub, I say MOAR.
Skyrim the dad who sleeps around with anything it can and dolls itself up to keep going.
Morrowind the mother who was good to us and sure, the years have started to take it's toll but its a refreshing experience to return to what is always good.
Oblivion the son who eats glue and kind of just exists. Neglected by most because it just loves acting out.
this is so powerful i am in tears
Oblivion has more unique quests and spells than skyrim. That makes it better Imo.
I'mma have to swap unmodded Skyrim for oblivions spot. Skyrim by itself is just garbage as an RPG but Oblivion is still pretty good
@@niekesselbrugge1132 He hasn't played them. Probably hasnt played morrowind or oblivion either. He just says shit online that other people said because he thinks likes on a post on a channel he didn't create translates to real life popularity. He's an idiot but let him be happy. Ignorance is blissful.
Skyrim : complete trash
Tod howard probably had to give some breathing room to the devs/creators instead of just doing what the money people said. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.. still the best Elder scrolls.
If you get stuck enter "Fixme" into the console"
Also when you get caught stealing in the tutorial area the stolen goods get confiscated, to get around this put them on the floor before you get caught, once you've done this with everything you want to pinch you just pick it all up off of the floor.
There's a lot of "duties" you need to do before she gives you that mission.
I'm going to drink tea everytime the game breaks itself
_sees morrowind_
Well seems like I need to buy more tea
“i’ve had nightmares of that thing, and i’ve never played this game!”
god i love this so much

I think it's accepted Lore by now that it was actually Michael Kirkbride who was on acid.
That giant bug is Morrowind's answer to the horse and cart in Skyrim, it's a hideous monstrosity, that he controls by prodding the thing's brain with teaspoons.
it's actually kind of sad because they cry in pain all the time :(
When the game first came out I was like 12 and those things fucking terrified me
You actually want to fortify your willpower at Max 1st because that will allow you to cast any spell successfully as long as your will power is high enough so if it's set at a 1000 every spell you cast should be successful. However you have to start small and create multiple spells Starting off with one that will increase your willpower by 1 to 5 points. When spell is a 100% successful create another spell 10 to 20 and then so forth.
As far as the money goes it's better to buy from the fighters guild with a 1000 personality buying armor and then selling it back to them.
By fortifying your strength and all other skills bthose skills before you could essentially increase your armor skill for repairing your weapons once they break repair them and gain experience doing so. Is following the previous steps to gain unlimited repair tools you could Max out your armorer skill
He didn't even exploit the most powerful thing in this game: Alchemy, super-potions(or for skyrim players: The Fortify Intelligence loop.).
My favorite part of this video is that he didn't get any of the books or Limeware Platter from the Census Office at the start.
I loved the exoticness of Morrowind, and now can't wait for Skywind to be released. Seriously I'd do *ANYTHING* to see that update come to fruition!!
It's getting pretty close!
My favourite trick in Morrowind was using the construction kit to make a potion that lasts for a minute or two and maxes out your acrobatics and speed, and also makes you walk on water and jump like 50 to 100 feet in the air. It's pretty fun, you feel like Superman, running around super fast and leaping over tall Silt Striders in a single bound, running across the surface of lakes and rivers, and jumping up mountains like they're mole hills.
I love how the "high elf" looks baked as hell
In Morrowind it is possible to jump over the whole map in just one single leap. A jump spell, a fortify acrobatics spell, and an enchanted item with just 1 point of feather fall, and you are all set. Dont use more than point of slow fall, or you wont be able to jump nearly as far. Not only is it the single most effective way of getting around, it is also hillarious.
Todd Coward on drugs? Oh, no no no my friend. This is the work of Micheal Kirkbride, the 10th devine.
And it was Mushrooms that he went on a week bindge on it.
@@CloseingStraw97 And also a bunch of the lore was based on TES themed d&d games he'd play with his friends.
@@SPARR0E Nice, which edition of D&D?
@@CloseingStraw97 I'm not sure if it was d&d specifically, or homebrew. If it was d&d it would have been 2nd or 3rd addition at the time. Kirkbride played as Vivec, and his friends were other members of the tribunal, and the original Neravar I think.
@@SPARR0E OH WOW, didn't know that. Guess someone got really REALLY pissed at their fellow characters to dedicate an entire GAME based on that.
"Todd howard made this while he was on drugs and having nightmares"
Hehehehehhh the fact that this isn't too terribly far from reality, it just wasn't Todd
Prince Charmless It was Hodd 🧐
@@G59forlife. it was kirkbride
My Boi Michael Kirkbride.
I played Morrowind for an hour, died, realized I hadn't saved once since starting the game. Yeah.
I once played for a complete night, saved always in the same save game, then the Xbox (the 1st one) crashed while saving. Save game was corrupted. Since then I always use 4 saves that I constantly alternate between.
@@MrSeedi76 You where lucky...I had a 250 hours save who vanished of my xbox one day, cries and rage ensued.
I did this twice, but I finally figured out the save system. Now I have started abusing the saves to do stupid stuff.
in morrowind its easy to forget that YOU DON'T HAVE AUTOSAVES
@@freedom-man you can if you sleep, or at least it is an option in OpenMW.
Honestly the graphics hold up pretty well due to the awesome art design
cool tip the dark elf you see in the ship with you at the start of the game in Morrowind is the same dark elf you find in the soul cairn in the skyrim dlc
Ah, Jiub. U also see his head in Kvatch in Oblivion after the aftermath of the siege
I know this video is a bit old, but the Mittensquad callout is amazing! I just like it when my favorite youtubers mention each other.
i remember when i was a kid and figured out chameleon stacked and never ever thought it was an exploit of any sort
Every spell that has a value can be stacked in Morrowind. No exploit at all, just logical game mechanics.
The stacking isn't the exploit, it's the "lasts forever" part that is
@@obct537 You mean costant enchantments? What's the exploit about them? You can't just make anything constant, it depends on the magial capacity of the item. And chameleon is a powerful spell, you need the most powerful items and enchant pretty much everything you can wear with only chameleon, and you also need to use the random-value-trick, to get 100% constant chameleon. It's a long way to go to get there.
@@octogunsalata I was referring to spiffs suggestion in the video that you can use soul trap with chameleon
@@obct537 My bad. Never used the soul trap exploit.
I play as an argonian, there's a reason why I play in first person in this game
That shoutout to Mitten Squad was the greatest!
"todd, you cant do this to people!"
i immediately saw a llama in a hat yelling at another llama in a hat. "Caarrl!"
thank you for reminding me
Spiff when starting a new game: *breathes*
Game: you now have infinite gold and are immortal at lvl 1
And to think this was the hardest elder scrolls game to produce for Bethesda in fact. Jokes aside this is actually a really good game.
We should spam Yorkshire tea's twitter and lines so they sponsor our favourite tea loving individual guys.
I think it worked
The way characters hold there hands out makes them look like they wanna grope
I watch these videos while playing morrowind on my phone. Great mix.
Rip mittensquad
Fortify Acrobatics 1000.... then take a running jump.
(You might want to ready a levitate spell for impact... I mean landing)
Superjump 50 tho
@@Nynja123TRT or just use slowfall
@@crono276 Slowfall is boring >x< Superjump is lit. The Bosmer with the acorn hat knows what's up
Impact is correct. I feel like after pulling that antic off you should leave a crator.
There is a dead mage near Seyda Neen (or whatever the first town was called - god it was a decade since I've played it last) that just falls from the sky. He has spells that do exactly that.
Had a High elf once who was maxxed on every stat, and 50k+ on the Health/Magick, & Fatigue.
It was a blast to play.
Boost your magicka to 60k, and create a ranged spell that does 100% weakness to fire/frost/lightning/magic & 100% fire/frost/lightning damage. I call it "The Dragon Slave" (courtesy of Lina Inverse).
