There's something very funny about "Welcome moon-and-star-" while you are furiously sprinting towards him with a battle axe raised.
What a grand and intoxicati-OW Nerevar stop it
(Neravar dons a conjured translucent rain coat after putting on "Hip to Be Square")
Neravar: *"HEY UR!!!"*
He's totally used to it by now. "Oh, here comes Nerevar again..."
Not just sprinting, FLYING AT HIM
All of Dagoth Ur's dialogue is very funny when interrupted, I particularly always chuckle when you begin stabbing the heart HEY WHAT ARE Y- STOP IT
"Aren't all skill books unarmoured?" Sent me 💀
Skill books bound in cloth are unarmoured, but those bound in leather use light armour.
@@padraickeane5922 New headcanon, any book teaching the heavy armor skill is in an iron plate book-sleeve.
They *are* unarmed aswell
What? Where did it send you?
@@padraickeane5922 but what about books with pages made from wood and bound into a metal casing. Would that be heavy armored books?
And can I backstab books, considering they have spines...
I think my favorite part about Dagoth Ur is that he never expected you to destroy the heart. Him losing his shit when he realizes what you are doing is so goddamn funny.
I mean, to be fair you are holding two incredibly advanced pieces of scientific and engineering equipment. The point of them is that they can repair the heart, but nobody knows how so Dagoth Ur sees your character walk in with a ruler and welder and instead of trying to fix the broken equipment you just start beating the crap out of it.
@@techpriestsalok8119Imagined seeing a man with a miter saw and wood glue and he just whips the saw at a board after squirting glue all over it, mildly funny
"How do I float?" The first question that every newly-ascended god asks.
"Hello Archer! Let me axe you a me!" Was an excellently set up, executed, and paid off joke!
Lul, executed.
More like AXEcuted!!!
And then the legendary battle of Axeman vs Taxman
43:26 Geogolist here! Technically you are correct, volcanoes "die" when the source of new underground magma is cut off and the magmatic chamber slowly cools off (that's how granite and other intrusive rocks are formed, by slow cristalization of magma) This does take a loooooong time though so it can be "revived" by injections of new/hot magmatic material or the still hot chamber entering in contact with groundwater causing a phreatic explosion/eruption because of the sudden vaporization of water in a confined space.
I also learned the word "slag" since English is not my first language (before I would have described the material as either molten metal or lava) So we all learned something today I hope!
Geology student, took the words out of my mouth!
glad to know my overveiw my brain teroized is prity much it
be aware though that "slag" has another meaning in English that isn't present in North American English 😆
@@PickledYoshi I will double check thanks. I guess context will help define which meaning is more appropiate most of the time If I'm lucky 😂
@@mafiousbjthe other usage he is referring to is a derogatory term for a woman, specifically one who has s*X with lots of people. It's unlikely to come up in your professional field but hope springs eternal lol
You're right, that was the best Dagoth Ur impression I've ever heard. It's also the only one I've ever heard, but I don't think that diminishes the achievement.
I'm not above winning by technicality.
Caius wasn't insulting you, he was honoring you. The shirtless gift their shirt which is the most important thing to them. Its like gifting your honor or your respect. It isn't seen, it is felt and given. Dagoth Ur understood this as well.
If only he gifted us his skooma...
Can I just shout out the amazing fact that no matter the fact his name is 'just background noise,' no matter the fact his videos are like an hour long most times, the homie still does hand done captions? Like ones that are synced to what he's actually saying? Bravo man, I love anyone that does that. I may have ok hearing, but I always love to read along and see how the subtitles are edited and if there's anything silly or not. It's always fun! I bet it adds a buncha time to making vids, so I really apprecaite that you do it.
Man I’m just so happy that you came across my suggested page a few weeks ago. You’re definitely one of my favorite creators now. Keep up the great quality work mate!
Perfect calming voice, great challenge ideas and not overmodded morrowind (i am a fan of azura giving a dong birth but not on youtube)
Please keep uploading, your videos are great!
42:30 Someone may have already mentioned this, but there is historical precedent for two-handed axes. In the early medieval, the dane axe is a big example. The kicker is that two-handed axes were usually single edged and didn't have two blades. The blade itself was also much thinner than most games tend to portray to manage the weight issue. In later years, the two-handed axe mostly evolved into weapons like the poleaxe and halberd
It will never stop making me laugh that true flame's enchantment was just "being on fire with oil"
58:42 - Honestly, I feel like this fits the character you made really well. A crazy naked Nord whose blood vessels contain mead with trace ammounts of blood.
In regards to your question about Axes.
There were a few examples of two headed Axes for battle but they were rare and were shaped way differently than what is commonly depicted, often with a much longer haft. What was more likely used was something closer to a Dane axe. They are really great at what they do and transfer a shit ton of force into the enemy. Iirc the Scottish used a combined Pike/baskethilted sword front line and two handed axe/claymore second line. The Axes were great at hooking enemy shields and soldiers to pull them aside/into your ranks for allies to kill.
There’s also the halberd and poleaxe that are basically twohanded axes with longer handles and extra stabby/hooky bits. Likewise used by various pike units to hook pike shafts and force them out of the way so their friendly pikemen had unobstructed lines of stabbing
Id just doesnt make much sense to put 2 of the same type of weapon on bough sides. It makes much more sense for your polaxe to have a beak or a hammer on the other side, more versatility. You can do it but its not optimal.
I'll also add a shoutout to to the bill.
That thing can chop better than it might appear at first glance
Thought the double headed Axe was primarily about status?
@@andrewmeyer3599 Depends on the society in bronze age Germany a dubble headed axe was the recognition sign of a general.
That bit with the shirt at around 20:00 was incredible
54:03 The agreed upon unit of weight in the Elder Scrolls universe are actually, "Tod Howards" or simply, "Howards"
You are over encumbered you are carrying too many Howards
Taking this moment to say I love your videos and they truly make me wanna tackle getting into playing Morrowind, I never gave it an honest playthrough but I love the lore and different concepts (I've been stuck in Skyrim for a long time). Just keep it up with the amazing content.
First couple hours where you're just getting to grips with everything are a bit rough and dull, but once it gets going, it's so much fun, go for it man.
If you want more morrowind I highly reccomend Lyle Shnub's "Morrowind Mondays" series! He's also done some cool videos about how specific mechanics work.
Have a great time with the game if you go for it!
Its a great game but can be frustrating if you dont understand things like the hit chance and the level up mechanics.
Modding the game can also be a pain but it's worth it, there's no game quite like Morrowind, it'll stick in your mind for a long, long time after playing it.
I took to shaving my head after a Mickey Mouse-shaped bald spot became permanent. Well, not "bald" so much as "it only grows back thin and white and it makes me sad to look at it". Anyhow, it was crazy how many people would start shouting random names at me from across the building and run up all smiley. Notable examples were some woman who swore I was her friend who she hadn't seen in years and would not relent, some kid who thought I was his uncle and wanted a ride home, and one guy even mistook me for the asshole who broke into his trailer and pissed on his couch.
Seeing this 4 minutes before I need to to bed does not bode well for tomorrow morning.
But man am I glad all of this exists
Literally me 💀
Sleep is for the weak
There were two handed battle axes, like the Dane Axe for example. They usually weren't double headed though, it just adds unnecessary weight. A pole axe (which looks like a halberd) and halberds have multiple heads, but they are a spear-axe-hammer.
Polearm is mostly about the length of the handle, it's a very general term, like sword staffs, glaives, halberds, pikes, bec de corbin, dane axe are all polearms.
Honestly, being a polearm doesn't discount something from being something else too, yeah.
A Dane Axe is very clearly just an axe, but thats polearm length to me
I like you breaking the 4th wall to mention how last video your forth wall break was in the ways you mentioned noteworthy. Clever stuff.
I love your random lore ramblings. Have you thought about making lore vids? I think your narration and humor are top notch. And id like to see you actualize your mod ideas too.
I only just discovered your channel a few days ago and I've really been enjoying your content. A lot of challenge RUclipsrs are very hyperactive and over-the-top, but your vidoes are just really chill and pleasant to listen to. Your Morrowind videos in particular have struck a chord with me; they actually inspired me to pick it up and play the game again! Looking forward to seeing many more challenges!
Hey, I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your Morrowind videos. It's rekindled my interest for the game. I had a similar thing happen about a year ago where watching Warlockracy's videos inspired me to give Morrowind a chance. When I first got Steam about twelve years ago, it was the first game I bought for the outdated little laptop I had. My thought process then was "it's like skyrim but I can run it!" and I played it for about a week and never got into it, and I hadn't touched it again till recently. I've always had a soft spot for Morrowind but I never had the patience until I was older.
I know that's a "bro who asked" kind of story but Warlockracy's videos inspired me to give it a chance, and your videos show me how much more can be done with the game, and so I'm taking another dive into it. I'm glad there's good Morrowind content between the both of you, since it really is a good game that tends to be overshadowed by the newer games.
Also, I think it'd be neat if you tried these kinds of challenges but for the Great House or Guild questlines, or for something in Tamriel Rebuilt. There's a version of the "I Heart Vanilla" modlist where it has Tamriel Rebuilt alongside Skyrim: Home of the Nords, there's a lot of good content and questlines between both that most people (including myself) haven't really seen on RUclips.
43:39 errant geologist - yeah that’s how volcanoes work more or less, the internal plumbing cools down and solidifies as intrusive rocks such as granite.
great vid btw
31:05 It's over, Morrowind! I have the high ground!
Goddammit, you won me over with "Hortator supportator"
i love the chaotic little edits you put into your videos man. allways peak
"let me axe you a me" was greatly set up, awesome work
I genuinely love how after doing runescape videos for years you finally struck gold with elder scrolls 3 of all things lol. So happy to see you succeed!
Dude your Morrowind content is top tier. "Granting another chestman a shirt...it's symbolic" lmfao
17:00 holy shit I remember vividly how lost I was trying to find this camp you recalled to lmao such a great joke I’m so glad you started uploading
your vids about morrowind are the soil of my life, i dont know how many you've got there to be done yet, but i hope you never end. Cheers man!
This man is the only way I learned that you fight a God in marrowwind, I never got past randomly wandering across the country wondering why my hits never landed
wait, wtf. I just realized you've been getting insane views recently since you've started making Marrowind content! Bro, I'm so happy to see you finally get the recognition you deserve. You've always put so much effort into your videos even with those sub 1k viewcount RS3 vids. I've never played Marrowind myself, nor do I think I ever will. But even tho I have no interest in the game, your commentary keeps me watching. Can't wait to see what your channel has in store next.
Really nice to see challenge playthroughs of morrowind. Learning a lot about this great game 20 years since I last played it.
I love that you have to keep track of what you stole from who. The shock of having a shop keeper attack you for selling them their own stuff is priceless.
I've been enjoying your osrs ChillScape and Morrowind stuff but HUGE massive ups on the captions, dude.
WoW, the pace you keep releasing quality videos is really impressive.
Just background noise? No, just the perfect tone, pacing, and game have one of the best naps of my week, woke up happy to re-watch the whole playlist too so ya know... Very good 👍
‘morrowind is a rhythm game’ holy shit mind blown
I started playing Morrowind because of this channel, great game
As for your question on battleaxes: the vikings used some large two-handed axes. Though they would not have been double-headed like the conjured one here. Theres ofc also the headsmans axe but thats not a weapon so much as it is a tool.
In general I believe there isnt much a large axe can do that a polearm cant do better which you sort of touched on. Part of the allure with hatchets and handaxes is that they are cheap and can be helpful as tools as well which you also start to lose with something heavier and with a larger blade.
Man I'll tell you what, I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm going through a rough time in my life, but I started watching your vids last night and I'm hooked, keep up the awesome vids!
you're such a content machine, I love you brother. I hope you'll never have tough times, and if you do, I hope you'll handle them well
Love your content. You do a great job of keeping in the spirit of your challenges
I was very sick and stuck in bed for a couple weeks. I stumbled across your channel once you posted the first Morrowind video and found myself sucked into your videos forgetting about everything else. I often rewatched videos 3 or 4 times while I was sick. Keep up the great content.
My sleep schedule!!!
I've never played Morrowind nor do I care much for really old games, but for some reason I really enjoy watching Morrowind videos, especially this channel. I can't wait for more!
It's not that old
Yes, two handed axes did exist and were used in battle (look up the "Dane Axe" for some examples), but they weren't typically double headed, like you see in virtually all fantasy depictions.
Huge fan of the channel. Morrowind has a special place in my heart because it hits me right in the childhood. I love learning facts about this old game. If he keeps putting them out, I'll keep watching!
Hell yeah baby new JBN video. Our boy is on fire lately!
Always excited when I see you upload, thank you!
You have no idea how happy it makes me to see a longform video and channel that uploads silly gaming challenges. ❤ Keep it up dawg
Oh man this is exactly the kind of build I've been looking for man!
Thank you so much
I love that you're playing with openmw and the i heart vanilla modlist. Absolute gem!
Glad I subbed to this channel. RUclips has been pretty good with the recs lately for the smaller channels, good to see the focus isnt always on huge corpos
I can't get over how good your content is. It inspired me to finally pick up Morrowind again and I've been having a blast with it just like old times. None of the magic left that game even all these years later, honestly
Man I love your Morrowind content...
You're literally the only one who does it.
It was the game that made my fucking youth in 2003...
I hope you dont mean the only one who does Morrowind content. Cause there are heaps of them.
@@Valkbg Comprehensive reading would answer your question.
No, I've yet to encounter other morrowind creators
@@Darkdayzz You have not searched much then.
@@Valkbg Truly, your comprehension is without bounds
@@DarkdayzzHeh, bounds
I just want to say your videos are so entertaining to watch and its amazing you can put out an hour long video like this with such fun narration and play the whole time
Love these vids, your in-game and meta commentary is A+
Thank you for the subtitles ❤
You’re amazing at setting up a bit and then delivering on the bit in ways I don’t expect.
I just found your channel last week and just let me say I absolutely live for your morrowind playthroughs
Freaking love your channel!
Huge fan of the Morrowind content in particular but looking forward to see what else you got!
Once again my dude, excellent video, well written,read and researched. Love the morrowind content, you're gonna go far kid lol .
"You could say... I like it."
Bold of you to assume what you would like.
I really like your take on challenge runs, some other channels skip over too much of the run and specific hurdles aren't covered as much. Also big ups for being comedic without being vivacious, it's refreshing.
That water of life bit made me burst out into laughter after a 40 second delay of just sitting there processing what just happened
Hell yeah, new JBN video just when I needed it.
I'm gonna sleep so damn good tonight. Love ya big man! ❤
I found you a little while ago from your RS videos. I'm really glad to see you exploding with these Morrowind videos.
I finished playing through Morrowind properly (never played the dlcs when I was younger) and I love your vids! Keep up the great work
Morrowind content is nostalgic for me. It’s so much fun to listen to you
It was nice seeing some representation of my favorite play style!
My first hours would be spent summoning, soul trapping, and looting summoned Golden Saints in a closet in Coldara mage's guild. I'm surprised to see the internet has never spoken of that exploit.
Man i am glad I stumbled across your channel, keep up the amazing work on these vids
Babe wake up, new Just Background Noise video
Honestly, I like this style of video. You aren't demanding my eyes, and your rather flat tone but with occasional humor inserted allows me to focus on what I'm doing, but sometimes get a chuckle when I hear a joke. It's actually a nice video to have going on in the background because I can actually focus on other things to a higher degree than other videos.
all my previous favorite game video makers and challenge runners hopped on the twitch band wagon and jsut do live streams now... so congrats youre now my new favorite video creator lol
I gotta say I really enjoy these morrowind videos. Thank you~
I spent the two weeks since your last upload patiently waiting. Your content is awesome, I'm hooked.
Your videos are so good. I’m a Skyrim kid but this makes me want to play Morrowind so much
I just love your commentary this is my new favorite channel 🫶
This is such an awesome channel dude I love watching your content
Your content is soooo good, my dude, thank you for providing
A cool little challenge would be
“Everytime you kill an enemy you must switch to what their wearing and using”
Awesome as always. I admire the dedication!
Your content keeps me sane ❤
Love your long form challenge videos!
Ah just the hour long video I need for my breakdown day. Thanks Background!
So happy that youtube suggested this. Now I have something to listen to at work
so, I'm pretty new to watching/learning about Morrowind. Really only watched a couple videos here and there until a couple days ago when I found your channel. You've no idea how funny it was to me to learn that Morrowind ALSO has a Fortify Alchemy loop like Skyrim.
Your good/bad bit at 33:30 was actually perfect comedy. Like you did the bit just long enough for it to be actually funny, and ended it just before it got annoying. Like actually god-tier comedic sense.
@JustBackgroundNoise , I want to give you a very big thank you & say your doing a great job with making these vids 👍🏼
I came across your channel a month or two ago, when you popped up on my recommendations with morrowind & I gotta tell ya.
Itxs giving me morrowind fever to play the game myself 1st hand , i tried to olay years ago when I was in highschool & didnt get it... dying shortly after to the dinosaur thing just outside the first city towards a left path & return the game to the store i got it from, never to grace it again.... until years later where I played Skyrim (fell in love with it & played for atleast a few hundred's worth of game time) only to realize it was the same series
Also want to give props to your speech recording, its not only hilarious on joke delivery, it also ties well hand in hand with being able to potentially fall asleep too (I used one of your vids once (so far) to help me simmer down into a sleepiness, & have fallen asleep to one)
So yeah 🤙🏼
Incredible quality and density of jokes. You managed to jump over your head. Good job
I just love how you do your videos!!
Playing without music on is the only way to play Morrowind. The ambient sound and storms are so relaxing.
Dude, a magic barbarian float sprinting across morrowind to slaughter the deities is an insanely awesome idea
I always always always make a "Fortify speed on touch" spell for the escort quest. Don't forget a self speed spell too.
Saw you on suggested and got sucked in. Love the videos, inspired me to try Morrowwind for the first time. Hope there is more to come brother!
If you're still early on, don't let low level combat discourage you. It gets a lot better. If you're not totally intent on a vanilla experience, some basic graphics mods can go a long way too. If you're already into Elder Scrolls it's a treasure trove of lore. It was the first TES game I played and is still by far my favourite in a lot of ways.
This is exactly what I needed today, awesome!
