Me and the boys in the locker room:
"My fish bigger!"
You remind me so much of other great youtubers like grimbeard and salt factory. Keep it up and I'm 100% you will be huge ❤
Thank you kindly. Grimbeard is definitely a person i take a lot of inspiration from.
Glad RUclips recommended this video to me! Good production values for a channel so small, excited to watch your growth. Kind of reminds me of GrimBeard in some ways (especially that intro).
Thank you kindly. Grim is indeed the inspiration for the intro, I love his intros.
The Grimbeard thing is exactly what i thought
Had to do a double take when I saw your sub count. You definitely deserve way more
Thank you kindly 😊
Played that game last year for the first time, what a gem!
That narration you gave in the dwarves sounds like johnny bravo
I thought YT was bugging out when I saw your low sub count... I clicked your page and was expecting to see 300k not 300! That's actually crazy.
Well you got your 380 sub from me. 😎
Looking forward to your future my friend.
I appreciate that brother, thank you kindly
Your video style and format reminds me a lot of The Salt Factory in all the right ways. I've always wanted to try out Arx Fatalis but never did because of my unfamiliarity with the UI. I watched the video all the way through, I really enjoyed the editing and jokes. I can't wait to see what else you make. Great job man! You should be proud. :)
Thank you, that really means a lot.
Only 125 subscribers. Now 126. I will watch your career with great interest.
Thank you kindly

There is an auto-sort button. Its the brown thing under the journal icon. You have to double click it.
Holy shit it works 🤯
Channel that makes an hour long video talking about a game I've played non stop for 15+ years? yes please.
Agree with the other comment, getting Salt Factory vibes, mixed with Grimbeard perhaps? You got great potential, keep it up. I agree with the other comment about the rough edges. Especially around your audio, seems a bit all over the place across the video. But you'll get there with time.
All in all though, this was great. Good job!
I appreciate the words. Thank you. Audio is what I tend to have the most trouble with, but I am trying to improve it. And yeah, Grimbeard is definitely a creator I take a lot of inspiration from.
It's curious that you mentioned "Adventure game DNA". A lot of old school RPGs were like this.
Killing monsters as main "attraction", main game loop is sign of modern RPG.
If you need recommendation Heuristic Park's Wizards&Warriors (2000).
Word of advice if you'll decided to try it: if you stuck in geometry - don't panic. What can't be solved by buttons, can work via on-screen controls.
I'll add Wizards & Warriors to the list 👍
you help to fill a mitten-shaped hole, my friend
I don't understand the reference, but I'm happy to help
@@QuestionablyExplained RIP fantastic youtuber MittenSquad. you remind me of him
you got a like for the intro music, you were going to get a sub for the subject matter but you get both and a comment for the fresh prince bit
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the show.
Loved this game back in the day. Never finished it as I seem to recall I chose a more ranged / archer style build, which wasn't good towards the end.
Subbed 👌
Thank you kindly. And yeah Arx really doesn't favor archer characters.
A very pleasant voice, proper investigation regarding the topic, interesting presentation - subscribed and liked, before You grow to millions of subscribers, so I can boast in the future that "listen to me, little kids, I was subscribed to this channel before you even heard about it"
Keep it up kind Sir, all the best to you!
Thank you kindly. I really do appreciate the words, and I'm flattered you enjoy the sleepy monotone voice. Best to you as well.
@@QuestionablyExplained Sleepy and monotone? Did we watch different videos ^^?
erm, is that a underrated youtuber right here? YEAH
Thank you kindly 😀
This was great. I agree with the other guy that it's similar to Grimbeard but has it's own thing going on. Make more like this on this style of game, this is your wheelhouse.
Thank you kindly
FYI while the fast travel gate activating spell isn't in your spell book, it is in your journal. Not a great solution, but there you have it.
I completely missed that, dang
Man messes up saying "ingot" but "immolate" comes out, no problems.
I used to play this game a long time ago. I like hanging around those snake ladies, hehe, good times.
The way I beat this game is with the help of a walkthrough and cheats. And beating the final boss by summoning a big ass rat to fight it.
You mention lack of autosort, but I can recall playing original Arx on my old pc and there was a way to sort your inventory
Turns out if you double click the inventory button on the bottom right off the screen it auto sorts.
yo a new channel that does like hour long videos on old rpgs???? i can't get enough of these. proud of you fam! keep up the stellar work!
Thank you kindly, I appreciate it 😁
Not sure how this is "literally Morrowind", but it looks cool. :)
I'm really puzzled as to why he called it that. They have the genre and weapon swinging in common, but little else.
The stuff that Arx does well, is exactly what's missing in Morrowind.
We have grimbeard at home.
Grim is top-tier stuff, so I'm gonna take that as a compliment
Thanks for the vid
I loved this game and I feel like it was ahead of it's time and I wish more games today were like it but with a hearty amount of polish that this game definitely lacked lol.
it's so similar to morrowind it's freaky, lots of oblivion parallels as well
You and CybilSkera have yet to explain that statement. The only parallels I can see are the genre and retro graphics, which are both logically identical, in the same way that two different baseball games of the same era would be.
It's a pointless observation.
@@Kijinn you start as a nobody, turns out you're the chosen one, you gotta destroy a powerful artifact but you need 2 important items before you can. it's like one of these games is a direct rip off of the other
Nice review! Seems like an interesting hidden gem of a game. I feel like I've heard of the title, but knew nothing about it. Now I'm curious to try it out. You've got a fun presentation and a nice dry sense of humor! Subscribed! Btw, what was that game clip at the very end of the video, right before the credits?! Looked very interesting.
The clip is from a game called Darkwood
9:34 "Beware, we're watching you." really did sound like "We're watching you... scum." As someone who's played Morrowind on and off since it was new, I can definitely see the parallels.
funny thing about magic. its OP because the damage is Dice based. Fireball does 1d6 x Lvl damage. Spell level is every 10 skillpoints in casting (all skills only improve at even 10s!). so a high level caster does 10d6 damage with a fireball. with 3 stored up you can do 30d6 damage in less than 3 seconds.
Melee is FLAT. a sword does like 6 damage, you get a whopping +1 damage for every 10 points in close combat skill (and 2% crit chance), and at most +3-4 damage from strength. so a maxed out warrior with 20 strength, with a Mithril balde etc does 10+5+10=25 damage for every FULLY charged attack. 10d6 fireball does on average 35 damage from range.
I knew that the skills improved at every 10 points, but I didn't know about the dice roll for magic. That's really neat.
My God that whole "Affecting a silly voice and speaking in broken English to portray a lack of intelligence" thing from this time period and before is absolutely horrible to listen to.
41:50 - This. This drives me *insane.* KotOR let you hack a terminal and get the entire map, with Ubisoft games its’ just a matter of accessing vantage points (save Far Cry 5), but Arx drives me crazy with the lack of ability to 100% the map as well.
If you dug this games immersive inventory mechanics, you *NEED* to acquire a Meta Quest 2 or 3, and play the masterpiece Into the Radius. See habie or a wolf in vr's content on that game to see what I mean. You are VERY welcome. Love the content, brother!
The quest 3 has been tempting me, if I ever do get one I'll be sure to take a look at into the radius. Also glad to hear you're enjoying the videos.
14:05 Lmfao Skera wild
Finding out about that cancelled Opposing Force sequel made my body ache.
Yeah, that was definitely some cursed knowledge I wasn't expecting to gain when I started working on the video.
Hmm... Another place for the Goth Gamer Nation to gather?
Very good then.
Edit - omg, I've been no-lifeing MHW, saw the title, and was trying to figure out how Fatalis was connected to Morrowind in any meaningful way. 😅
So? In what way is it connected, other than genre and era?
this looks like it's making numbers, so your channel might be on the verge of blowing up, congrats. a few points, if you don't mind: you could've elaborated more on the magic system, how you can discover new spells that aren't documented in in-game documents by experimenting with the symbols, reversing formulas and such. and on the immersive sim aspects of the game, like how dough thrown near a fire is baked into bread. also, i'd drop the "i have great trouble pronouncing these fantasy names." orbiplanax and acerbius are on the easier side of fantasy names. if you can say acerbic, you can say acerbius. it feels forced and the joke fell flat for me.
Funny thing is that the bread thing was one of the first things I wrote down when I decided to do the video, I had a bit about it but completely forgot to add it to the final script. I could have spoken more on the magic, You're right. I was looking into it after I beat the game. The logic the runes follow is really cool. It's a shame the game itself doesn't explore more into it.
@@QuestionablyExplained
Without checking whether I remember correctly, it seems to me like most Arx retrospectives forget to emphasize how immersive the cooking and crafting is.
It's the one thing that enhances the atmosphere and immersion so efficiently. Crouch-sitting at a fireplace, listening to the ambience and the sound of meat/fish/bread sizzling on the fire.
Man every time I've tried to finish this game it bugs out on me or I lose a required key or some shit. But you know... It HAS been six years, and the most recent Libertatis release WAS two years ago... Maybe the third time's the charm?
Things were pretty stable for me this time around. Just make sure you buy the key ring from the shop so you don't lose any of those keys.
@@QuestionablyExplained found out about the key ring shortly after making that comment! man I was pissed!
The snake woman gave you a book of what now? xD 11:20
Gave you a sub. Enjoyable review. I think your edges are rough but over time you will smooth out and find your voice. Of course you can do everything right and still struggle in an over-saturated market, but you've got a shot. One thing I would say is that sometimes I just want to hear you talk. Near the end you have this obnoxious, repetitive music while you talk about your conclusions. Cut it out and let me hear you.
I was a bit worried that I had set the background music too loud for this one, I'm still figuring out when to use it and how loud I should set it. I appreciate the comment and will take more consideration with the music in the future.
Your hilarious my dude
Thank you kindly
moarrrr!
My favorite video game of all time.
BTW there are 2 bow in the game but one is hidden with an easter egg quest. And you can also sort you bag if you double click on the icon above the mana bar.
There is sort inventory button, when u open inventory you can notice it on the right side between mana bar and journal icon, u press it twice and it sorts it.
From the way you played this game it just felt like u had a mindblock that prevented you from understanding and utilizing game mechanics to the full extent and your experience doesn't do game justice, it's build in a way that you can't maximize all your skills, just like SS2 it encourages multiple playthroughs, since you brushed through main quest unenthusiastically, without talking about exploration, few existing side quests or experience with different builds it didn't create a good picture for any viewer interested to try the game themselves and it's a shame.
A few people have brought up the inventory sort button, and I wish I knew about it while I was making the video.
For the second part of your comment, I wouldn't say that I just brushed through the story without exploring. I put about 20 hours into the game for the video and ended up doing a fair bit of the side content. I try to focus more on the main story for the videos though. In hindsight, I will agree that I could have spoken more on player agency and how the player can use the various skills to interact with the game world. Thank you for the comment.
#BigFishMagic
God I wish grimbeard was bigger so we would have more channels that take inspiration from him
He is really underrated
unlike morrowind, arx fatalis is actually good, even without Mods, Morrowind on the other hand... is a game that only works with hopes, dreams and spaghetti code.
like many bethesda games, they got carried by their designer team, lore team and map designers. because the code of bethesda games is extremely dogshit.
Fully agree.
This video's title is nonsensical.
14:59 Most would have just cut this out, but you have my respect for keeping in you fumbling pronouncing "manifestation". That "Fuck you." got me good. 🤣
12:08 Oh, and imagine my disappointment when I looked at your channel and you DON'T have a video on Nosferatu. I do hope this is remedied soon.
Sometimes you just gotta keep it in lol.
There will be a Nosferatu video. When, I'm not sure. But it's on the list.
I thought it was overall a pretty good video, but this guy is FAAAR from being the only RUclipsr to do the "mispronouncing the word wrong multiple times and leaving it in the video" thing. I've honestly seen so many people do it at this point I 'm pretty sure that even if any of the mispronunciation goofs were at any point ever actually genuine that the vast majority of them done now are faked or at least completely exaggerated for a joke.
@@pbjandahighfive Well, just as I am happy you've seen enough videos for the joke to be so familiar to you, I am happy that I have not seen enough videos for the joke to not be new to me, mispronunciation being genuine, or not, notwithstanding.
Please show me the part of the video in which you compare Arx Fatalis to Morrowind so I can prove you are wrong. I'm not watching this.
Indeed!
Nah
Lol
