the serial killer description is so funny cuz 1) most of Vvardenfel's population are dunmer 2) daggers are the most commonly carried weapon in cities and 3) netch leather is the basic light armor and very commonly worn all over. so the description is just the morrowind equivalent of "white guy wearing blue jeans and carrying a smartphone"
The Daedra Heart that doesn't stack just means that you took it from a shrine and it set off a trap to summon a Daedra so it's 'different' from other hearts because of that extra effect so doesn't stack. Rubies and other gems can do the same - interestingly you can use alchemy to combine a normal heart and this special heart for a potion with all 4 effects.
"There's only so much you can resist fire". Dragonbone Cuirass says "hi". also, "ridiculously big mega-hammer" will need a re-name when he gets to the museum.
@ManyATrueNerd That's kinda rich, considering Aria started engaging in unwanted flirting with everyone she saw immediately after arriving in Vvardenfell...
You know I’m kinda glad Baulders Gate got second because when Jon finally gets to it it will be at its best and most definitive edition with update 8 so really he will get the best experience
"I'm actually getting better at Speechcraft here." Yes and no. Something Morrowind never tells you is that a higher "fame" number slightly increases your success at persuation. Since you've done a fair few main and Mages Guild quests, you've probably got a dozen points or more.
Jon, that one chest around 39:50 in the daedric ruin had two exquisite rings. Exquisite rings are the best kind of rings and can hold the best enchantments. Unenchanted ones arent very common, you may want to swing back around and pick them up.
It was cool how you actually had to be skilled to become the leader of a guild back then. In Skyrim, just learn a light spell, or even "bucket magic" and you can be a grandmaster in no time! 😜
Be grateful Jon that you chose House Telvanni. Were you to have chosen House Hllalu, you and "Uncle Crassius " would be spending much more time together. You're still going to have some more dealings with him and his creepiness thanks to the main quest. You may want to return to the daedric shrine (Ashalmawia?) as - with any oddly tall room in Morrowind - there's profitable aerial exploration you could do in the "vault".

The House of Troubles is another name for the "Bad Daedra" in the Dunmer's religion, and they are Malacath, Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, and Sheogorath. So don't feel bad about killing Malacath's worshippers, it's probably what the Temple wanted you to do when they sent you there. Similarly, the "Good Daedra" (Azura, Mephala, and Boethia) are also known as the 3 Anticipations and are each associated with one of the Tribunal; however, these Daedra are later called the Reclamations after the fall of the Tribunal.
It's not that those guys decided not to report your crime, it's the Telvanni laws - they don't care if someone gets murdered. "Shoulda been good enough to not get killed" kinda philosophy.
From what I remember, the last dedra shrine John was in... it has loads of good loot and secret cashes you an only get by levitating. Also a tip for selling items with huge value, find the smith you have used the most that has the highest funds and sell a high priced item to them. Then make up the value by buying back the smaller things you have sold them. Then just wait 24 hours and sell back the small stuff and rinse and repeat. You can also use an enchanter that you have spent loads of gold on, to sell off high value items then make another high value enchant then just sell them back unwarted enchants.
Obviously, the Telvanni’s best apothecary isn’t in Vivec! You think they’re just going to give the other houses open access to top-tier materials? And no, you’re not making a pilgrimage to serve Malacath et al, you’re showing that you can overcome the evil enemies of Morrowind…who Aria secretly worships.
"When you say 'dark cult,' how dark do you mean?" Remember- he said your target is called Dagoth Fovon. You can probably guess which cult it is and what to expect there.
- well, he kept saying that dagoth ur was right and that vivec is a false god and a clown. that sort of thing. some people took exception, so i thought... - almsivi! the fool! next thing he'll start on about the popes! - he might have mentioned the popes too.
Cast when used intelligence just means more alchemy buffs since time is frozen in the menu, it's essentially constant effect for the purposes of alchemy.
I can't wait for Jon to feel confident enough to install the dlc content. I wanna see the surprise when you know who - those fellows - randomly decide to surprise you even at low level
Well maybe if the mysterious criminal serial killer paid their fine they wouldn’t be a criminal. 1:02 Magic resist != elemental damage resist Navigating the area named after the crazy god sure is confusing There is a four corners book if you find a good library somewhere
The guy talking to you is wrong, indoril armor and helmet are medium armor. Still not something you want though, because every ordinator in vivec will attack you on sight if you're wearing it.
38:50 man, too bad there aren't any gauntlets that fortify strength while bring better than daedric. But alas, Jon would've certainly missed them anyway in a place like for example the boss room in Ilunibi
The house of troubles is an aspect of Morrowind religion. They are the four daedra the dunmer consider to be the "bad daedra", namely Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Molag Bal and Sheogorath. They test the faith of mortals just as the devil does in Abrahamic religions in the real world.
The Dark Brotherhood in Morrowind are very weird in comparison to their other appearances Their set up as a breakaway Morag Tong instead of the Sithis Worshipping murder hobos we know from the other games, and the Night Mother is the name of their leader, not the Unholy Patron Corpse of the Brotherhood’s religious aspects. I’m not sure how they were in Daggerfall, but this was either an attempted retcon that didn’t stick or they decided to retcon them into something completely different for Oblivion and that version stuck. For which Im personally happy. I love the Dark Brotherhood as these complete nutters obsessed with murder instead of tying them to the Morag Tong and Mephala
There’s a fan theory I like where they are actually the mythic dawn masquerading as the dark brotherhood as a cover so they can do their oblivion stuff.
The game does not separate stolen from not stolen items, as a matter of fact that causes some bugs. What it does separate is cursed from not cursed. You picked up the extra heart from a daedra shrine, the curse causes a dremora to spawn behind you when you pick it up.
(8:00) I would be curious what happens if you ARE mistaken for an Ordinator. Is it just going to be a problem? Or might it lead to a quest of some kind?
Once i maxed out my combat skills, i just ignored cliff racers. Instead i would just cast a cheap, 10 second invisibility spell. Which gave plenty of time to break contact.
ah, crassius. a somewhat crass **ba dum tish**, but definitely memorable character. back when characters actually had, you know, character. yeah, he may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you can't deny that his dialogue is incredible unique and well written, for what it is.
Loving the playthrough Jon! Your experience with bethesda games is making morrowind look easy for you though. I worry you'll become godlike too fast and get bored.
Morrowind is really just like New Vegas, isn't it? You have to get both the outlying tribes and the three "civilized" ones to support you, the civilized trives each have a place in the major city of the region ruled over by a morally ambivalent and reclusive "savior" who extended his life using advanced technology, who maintains de facto control over the region despite the complicated rule of a beurocratic foreign power taking advantage of local resources on one side, and an archaicly traditional and bigited army of basically brainwashed loyalists acting from within an area known for being especially red, including a big powerful guy in a mask (one of these is Roman Empire themed). Also, the armor class system is similar. It's like Obsidian saw Bethesda copying their homework and said "I'll copy yours right back!"
Does anyone know if Jon is using a mod to show how many times he has levelled skills stat? Would love to know ahead of my level up if I'm going to hit +5s in the right things
@@Endymionologist at least he could sell the limeware for full value... I don't know how many more times I can watch him sell something worth 40000 gold for 1000 gold!!

Yes and no. Something Morrowind never tells you is that a higher "fame" number slightly increases your success at persuation. Since you've done a fair few main and Mages Guild quests, you've probably got a dozen points or more.
After his Morag Tong assassinations, I noticed his reputation was 17. He's definitely starting to get a small bump on his starting persuasion.
Your kidding me
This game that only gives experience on success has that
The Telvanni mostly are cloistered in their own little mage towers and don't really have much need for communal resources.
Jon, that one chest around 39:50 in the daedric ruin had two exquisite rings. Exquisite rings are the best kind of rings and can hold the best enchantments. Unenchanted ones arent very common, you may want to swing back around and pick them up.
He needs to return for some aerial exploration. He's already forgotten about how oddly tall rooms tend to have chests hidden up high.
Seconded😊
Having read about historical popes, "epitome of heresy" is basically a requirement for the job
Hey, at least no one was ever depraved enough to dig up their predecessor and put their corpse on trial, right? RIGHT?!
Or all the shit the Borgias did. OK one good thing Rodrigo did was re open the Jewish Quarter@@JakeTheTrouserSnake

Find some Daedra and steal their hearts? Just in time for Valentine's Day.

He stowed his alchemy set in Balmora last ep.

@@pikapika069 Its an apt description of most members of the Brotherhood
In Morrowind they actually worship Mehrunes Dagon, not Sithis. I think them splitting off from the Morag Tong is still canon though.
Then there are some theories that the Webspinner is fooling the Dark Brotherhood by pretending to be the Night mother.
The game does not separate stolen from not stolen items, as a matter of fact that causes some bugs. What it does separate is cursed from not cursed. You picked up the extra heart from a daedra shrine, the curse causes a dremora to spawn behind you when you pick it up.
