MORROWIND NECROMANCY ONLY CHALLENGE IS BROKEN - Morrowind Is A Perfectly Balanced Game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- An epic, open-ended single-player RPG, Morrowind allows you to create and play any kind of character imaginable. You can choose to follow the main storyline and find the source of the evil blight that plagues the land, or set off on your own to explore strange locations and develop your character based on their actions throughout the game. Featuring stunning 3D graphics, open-ended gameplay, and an incredible level of detail and interactivity, Morrowind offers a gameplay experience like no other. Now of course we could follow the plan the developers had and beat or we could do something different. In Their divine wisdom they gave the players of Morrowind the most overpowered spell imaginable and said that they could have it from as early as level 1. So how on earth can a player beat morrowind with only necromancy a skill which is exceedingly limited and has few overpowered gameplay features. You can take a level 1 character and turn them into the most powerful character in the entirety of the elder scrolls universe. So lets see if The Spiffing Brit can prove if Morrowind is a perfectly balanced game or if spiff can exploit Morrowind and beat the game with only necromancy.

Title: MORROWIND NECROMANCY ONLY CHALLENGE IS BROKEN - Morrowind Is A Perfectly Balanced Game

*Fun fact it is entirely possible you were born after this game released in 2002...*
This game is also old enough to drink in America
Depressing fact: I was old enough to drink when this game came out because I am as old as the very land beneath your feet.
This game can buy a gunn Todd!
Sadly, I played it back then, and it wasn't even my first (or second) Elder Scrolls game - though I gave up on Arena when I kept falling through dungeon floors and dying.
Spiff, I was 12 yo when this game came out. And I loved it then lol
TTW 3 Nurgel :V
pls Captain King Spiff, it needs to be broken
Thal lvl 1 Scrib thing is not an enemy. It's just a peaceful lil guy, he doesn't attack you unless you hit him first. So his ability to paralize you forever if you attack a seemingly harmless creature is pretty funny.
I imagine most murder hobo brains would look at that insect like creature and assume the worst and attack it outright.
What's more, it emphasizes this is a world, not just a game designed for you to beat. Not everything is easy just because you're starting.
@@tyrongkojy it's sad seeing modern games slowly forget the time honored tradition of, "fuck around and find out"
@@mogim815 there are some, but not many. Elex instantly comes to mind. You relied on combat drugs, a power suit, and IAI for everything your whole life, and just lost all that. You start sucking. You're lucky you know how to READ.
@@mogim815I always loved ff12 having a random T-Rex in the first combat area XD it won’t attack you unless you attack it first at least
"Drain Personality on Self. It's like owning an NFT." I fucking spat out my tea in laughter.
That is a criminal offence on this channel
Its funny because its true.
could you please explain what it means?
You'd better have lapped that tea of the floor Mister or soo help me!
That was hilarious, yes. :)
Honestly it's impressive to see what 20 years has done to modern graphics. This game was massive. It was ONE whole gigabyte!
Yeah, and then you have games like cod warzone that look basic and are half a terabyte
Right? Mind-blowing!!
@DingaLingu I mean modern COD looks incredible. If you showed it to someone when morrowind came out they wouldn't beleive it was a real time game. Also its like 150GB so thats a slight exaggeration lmao.
@@slothonastick32 hahahahahaha
It also restarted the entire Xbox during loading screens to help with memory load
Several commenters have mentioned things about Morrowind that later got removed from Elder Scrolls games that they loved and one of mine is cursed items - not weapons & armor, actual items, like valuables being cursed. They were mostly found in daedric shrines and dwemer ruins which is what happened to Spiff at around 13:00 - he picked up a cursed item on the shrine and that will trigger a tough aggro'd summon on you (in Spiff's case, a dremora spawned with a daedric weapon, which can injure ghosts). In dwemer ruins, it will spawn an ancient dwemer spirit. You also can't normally get rid of the curse either, so if you drop the cursed item & pick it up again, it will summon another aggro'd summon on you. It's a good way to naturally level up combat & healing skills. It's such a small thing but adds a lot of depth to the world building to me and I find later games lost something with their absence.
Sometimes, there is a reason why an expensive-looking item collecting dust in a dungeon hasn't already been grabbed by someone else...
Now I love the idea of some ancient dwemer who died and cursed the dwarven beer that took him in. Only for some random adventurer to shop up thousands of years later, take the beer, summon the ghost of the dwemer and beat him up.
On for the adventurer to throw the bottle away and pick it up again, summoning the ghost again. And again and again.
And the dwemer cursing himself for cursing the beer, because now he will be in an endless cycle of death and undeath to satisfy the curiosity of some random nord who wants to have a laugh.
Also after winning this amazing battle he could just get rid of all the minion bodies to get to the dremora. Morrowind had this function for optimization, to reduce the strain that the bodies would put on the low-end PCs of that time.
I was so confused when that happened to me the first time! I knew there wasn't any enemies left and then some spirit thing attacked me! Killed me. I did it again, triple checked, no one around, then attacked! I think it is an awesome little detail in the game, but it can throw you for a whammy the first time when you don't expect it.
Oh they’re supposed to be cursed? I always thought they were offerings to whichever deity and you were attacked for stealing from the deity lol
I do miss how the Argonians and Khajiit had a different model with digitigrade legs, it make the 'beast' races seem so much more unique
Yes, and then you see them run, and remember they can't wear shoes, or half the helmets in the game.
Yeah, I preferred their Morrowind approach to the later designs which are more "human-cat" than "cat race"
Found the furry.
@@Facepalm9 the new khajits are more furry
@@Facepalm9Hope the furries don't find you.
SOOO many fond memories of Morrowind. SOOO many broken save files.
You really can do whatever you want in the game. I've jumped clear across the continent in one leap. Killed Vivic with a steel rod, in 1 hit. Created pieces of armor that could cast spells so often and fast it was like using a MK19. Good times.
Daedric tower shield of *pew pew pew*
The only game where the status of mage more meant you had heavily enchanted heavy armor warrior build with any amount of magicka you wajted between negatvie 2 and 100
I refused to actually kill any "important" enemies I wasn't required to kill, and instead trapped them in soul gems. Not to use in enchantments, no. Just to have a collection of literal *GODS* clinking around in my pockets.
What a game.
This was back when games still had stuff in the box and Morrowind came with a paper map. I wore that map down so much navigating the island. The manual had a bunch of important stuff in there and I wore that down too.
And if you got the "GOTY" edition you got a disc with the game editor along with the expansion packs to create your own items, spells, etc. Good times until Oblivion and the horse armor dlc.
@@Dherkin_McGhurken Morrowind came with the construction set on release. In fact, the GOTY release had some bugs because it included the unpatched editor from the first release.
@@JSheepherder I did not know that, now I have a 3rd excuse to cope with all the re-installs I had to do to revert the modded files. Here I was blaming my "nuke" spells that if the game didn't insta crash took 30 minutes for the game to process all the of "threads of fate" messages of all the npcs killed and my Duron 950 simply just not handling it. 🤣
Dude you just gave me flashbacks of my map! Yes, so many notes and scribbles on it. So worn it looks like some sort of treasure map 😅
I've still got my map
The spell creation system was so awesome.
I loved making spells that inflict 1 second of 100 vulnerability to both magic and the damage type the spell inflicts.
Pretty handy for the ubiquitous dark elves, as they have natural fire resistance.
"Oh no, he is resistant to magic"
But he isn't resistant to weakness to magic"
*proceeds to make a spell that combines 100 weakness to magic with a destruction spell.
23:05 Turns out Spiff has the opinion of an average Dunmer about Argonians.
He knows how to honor the Six House and the Tribe Unmourned.
Honestly, if Argonia was a place on Earth rather than Nirn we know what the English Empire would have done to it :p
@@dylanvolckaert404Nah. The Black Marsh is impenetrable by those who do not belong.
Not even Tiber Septim himself could overcome the might of the Hist!
@@MartinFinnerup Dang, you're right.
I think one of my favourite lore tidbits is where during the Oblivion Crisis at the end of the Third Era, every corner of Tamriel was getting invaded. Every corner except the Marsh where the Argonians were counterinvading the Deadlands instead xD
@@MartinFinnerupNeither could the legions of a deadric prince. They learned the hard way to never invade the Argonian homeland.

"and would you like to donate your body to science?"

can´t like it needs to stay at 69 :( but i like the comment imaginery
Fun fact: the argonians haven't changed, we were just seeing them from the dark elf perspective.
I know you're joking, but the Hist canonically changed the Argonian adult form to be something more draconic, intimidating, and dangerous in combat after the Oblivion Crisis.
@@passingrando6457 now we just need to know what lore reason they came up with to explain how the resolution and animations of reality itself got un-janked from era to era.
@@Hellimatrix already do. Khajiit take one of 17 different forms based on the phase of the moons at the time of their birth. Not genetic, any type can give birth to any type. Each game only represents one subtype of khajiit, though.
TES1 uses the Ohmes, TES2 the Ohmes-raht, TES3 used the Suthay-raht, and Cathay for TES4 and 5.
_Most_ of the khajiit types are humanoid, but the largest and smallest types are just cat shaped, with the Senche-raht being sentient tigers larger than a horse, and the Alfiq being impossible to tell from a housecat until they start talking or cast a fireball or something at you.
@@Hellimatrix pardon me, I thought you said Khajiit. Actually, did you before the edit to your comment?
Leaving it up just in case anyone was curious.
@@passingrando6457 I did, but then I remembered they explained the Khajiit's changing forms via the phases of the moons.

Ghosty boi : "The dead do no suffer the living to pass."

My favorite break so far is a stealth build where I was invisible pretty much forever, completely silent, and my dagger would just explode people. They would see a man die, immediately have no clue what happened, then die themselves
I see Spiff has figured out the ultimate way to summon unpaid interns.
Don't need to pay a living wage if they're already desd
Sooo glad to see you playing some older games again, i really missed this sort of content!
Anyway, the most insane thing I've ever done in an elder scrolls game is make a spell in morrrowind called "EVERYBODY CHILL OUT" which was a HUGE area of effect calming spell. I used to walk into a dungeon, pop that, then just walk past everyone who now grasped the meaning of peace. I also had a trick where I had like 5 different spells I'd stack all at once, one being a basic levitate and the rest all buffing my speed which basically let me fly across the whole map within like, 5 minutes without costing that much. I'd just pop them and fling myself from one place to the next.
his not, his just re- edited it an old video or posted an old one that wasn’t posted. his voice/ tone is different here compared to more recent vids

I remember doing this when I was a kid, I would summon an army of skeletons and attack Balmora; the canals and bridges would be clogged with dead skeletons and NPCs. You can also summon creatures a lot faster if you make it an enchant, since those cast instantly.
Do the summon exploit with golden saints. Bloody hilarious.
The enchants worked, but casting instantly isn't necessarily a boon, since it is the timing gap between the On Self effect and the On Target effect triggering that makes the glitch work.
Enchant is much better since its instant, make 20 rings with summon skeleton for 185 seconds one named skeleton01 up to skeleton20, you can quickly cast them with the hotkey buttons the one who cycle spells alphabetically.
Summon Skeleton Servant 01 ...
Summon Skeleton Servant 20
why 20? is just because its a good enough number to storm places and you can still move around.
I have found a fix for the slowness of skeletons, you can boost them temporarily with that specific spell:
fortify speed 50 for 40 seconds in 50 foot on touch.
Make 2 of these like that:
Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01
Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 02
or if you want a bit more duration make 3:
Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 01
Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 02
Fortify SPEED 40 60 sec 03
But if you really want fast buff to minions make rings instead with:
Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01
Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 02
or
Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 01
Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 02
Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 03
Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 04
Fortify SPEED 20 119 sec 05
if you dont wanna pay 100k to make a ring you can use alchemy to boost temporarily your intelligence to around 3k to make the enchants yourself.
For a necro the typical game hotkeys should be like that:
1. a cheap soultrap 19 sec and paralysis 1 sec mace.
2. 10 sec paralysis spell
3. Summon Skeleton Servant 01 (cycle up to 20)
4. Summon Dremora 01 (cycle just up to 02, i treat them as elite units so they should be rarer and used in specific scenarios)
5. Fortify SPEED 50 48 sec 01 (cycle up to 02) spell or magic rings, recommended the latter.
6. Typical made health potion
7. Typical made magicka potion
8. Typical made stamina potion
9. Ring of Restore Faigue 2 pts and constant effect invisibility (used to run away if things get nasty)
For roleplay i console command my endurance down to 10 at start of game so when i reach max level i just end up like with 105 health on my high elf.
earlygame is the hardest, you rely a lot in potions specially magic ones and spells. Mid game lategame you move to enchants, they are much more efficient and faster to cast. Hoard as much as possible exquisite rings in your adventures, you will need them all.
I never recommend doing the method of brit video, it breaks the game. It gets overpopulated with skeletons who cant keep up with you in speed. They bloat the savegame since they are permanent.
@@LtCommanderTato replying here so I don't forget about this information when I play morrowind later
3:26
i remember playing morrowind my first time, i headed out to balmora, got a bit distracted, and like 100 hours later i remembered there was a main quest so finally went to meet Caius.
And then the document you need is no longer in your inventory and you had to remember where you sold it.
Considering the plot of Morrowind, ascending to godhood is indeed the way the developers intend us to play this game.

If it _is_ nailed down it's probably a puzzle :D
@@thespiffingbrit 😎
@@jinnturtle That just means there's loot to look forward to.🤣
One of my favorite (small) exploits was free murder. If you joined the Morag Tong (Morrowind Dark Brotherhood) you'd get Writs of assassination. However, if you insulted the target enough for them to attack you first you wouldn't use the writ. You could then kill another random NPC and if you had a writ on you the guards would accept it
Turns out legal assassination has loopholes. Who would have thought?
You insult anyway and kill people for free that way, it also works if you have a frenzy 100 for 1 second spell. I use to do that so much to kill ordinators and sell their armor and weapons to the mudcrab merchant for a ton of septims, since their gear was worth like 30,000
an earlier, simpler, and yet somehow a lot more complex time of the elderscrolls.
thanks for showing off what we love about the old games
I recently picked up Morrowind about 2 weeks ago and now I'm seeing Morrowind everywhere. With a few mods (Graphic Herbalism and Morrowind Code Patch are musts) the game is genuinely one of the most enjoyable games out there even today. It's just so damn fun, there's something about it that I can't even explain but it's just incredible. And it always shocks me that the Magic system didn't go into Oblivion and Skyrim. I know Oblivion has it, but it takes a long time to get to it and you have to do the Mages Guild. In Morrowind you can just straight up go to someone who does Spellmaking and make a Fireball that does 100 damage at level 1. Sure you won't be able to cast it yet, but you can do it. The game is just so damn fun, there's so much freedom to how you approach it.
Yes! I always found Oblivion too restrictive in what spells I'm _allowed_ to even cast. MW just gives me a chance of success and I'm allowed to try to cast any spell there is.
You can do spellcrafting without joining the mages guild in Oblivion if you have a few thousand gold and the Frostcrag Spire house DLC. Just buy the candles and you're good to go. Rewards from the Arena questline are usually enough.
Still though it sucks they took it out. They also took levitate and jump out entirely because they switched to cities being cells themselves, and they didn't want people hopping over the walls -.-
I Elder Scrolls: Arena they had a special spell I loved. I don't remember the name, but it let you remove almost any wall. Stuck in a dungeon? No problem. You can make your own route. Don't want to fight a monster? Make a route around it. This spell really made the game fun.
I cast left click in creative mode!
Morrowind videos always bring back such wonderful memories. That game was the most broken thing i have ever played and it was glorious. My only regret is that it crashed a lot do to all the crazy, random, and overpowered stuff i was doing. Like this for instance. Morrowind hated hordes. Making one would make your game crash roughly every time the horde took one collective step, but if you could get it to keep running it was a simple matter to wipe all life off the map.
These days there's a mod that fixes all (and I do mean all, I mean it's been 20 years) crashes called Morrowind Code Patch. It can optionally fix some exploits too but who would ever want that?
@@delayed_control Oh cool, i've always been worried to try mods because the game was too unstable.
@@delayed_control I also love the bug where the Unarmored skill doesn't actually _do_ anything unless you're wearing at least _one_ piece of _actual_ armor
The time in Oblivion when I discovered if you use a shield at the same time as a spell, it makes the spell cast twice as fast was a fun moment for me. So was the moment in Skyrim when I found out I can sneak faster just by taking out my hands for a spell then putting them away over and over. Magic.
Proof that the greatest power on Tamriel is the power of _family_ (dead ancestors totally count)
2:03 - I've completely forgotten the epic _strides_ people take in this game. Truly the greatest walking animations ever coded by human hands.
13:31 - I love how the two skeletons are just staring at each other all like "Man, that was _weird_ "
In Morrowind, being able to hit something in combat was a bit of a dice roll. It was your opponents defense vs your skill and fatigue (green bar). That's a very simplistic way of describing it. The lower your fatigue, the less likely you are to hit. And the thing about Morrowind, anything faster than walking speed and jumping constantly drains your fatigue. So if you weren't aware of this, odds are you are running around with your fatigue at 0 and missing a lot.
You finally posted my favorite game, no matter how broken it is! ❤❤❤
Also crying at the easy gold missed at the start. Magic axe, taxes, golden platter!
0:30 "And that means there's a certain janky charm..."
*music swells, tears fall*
Best item in the game is an daedric tower shield. Boost your intelligence to 10 or 20k. Then enchant it with fireball with 2 meter range. Every time you block with it, your enemy melts.
My favourite exploit in Morrowind is intelligence potion crafting. You go to Balmora and then teleport to Sadrith Mora. You go to Aunius Autrus. You buy ingredients from him to craft intelligence potions. You then drink them until you have ridiculous amount of intelligence which allows crafting even better potions. The NPC restocks every time you talk to him so you create more potions and sell them to buy more ingredients. After getting enough of them you go Scamp trader in Caldera and sell them to him for the full price. If he runs out of money you wait 24 hours for him to restock. Then use the money to train. Boom, high level character without killing a single enemy.
I've recently been watching a bunch of Morrowind content on a whim. But outta the blue yoi come and provide Morrowind content too?! What a wonderful sausage you are Spiff!
The morrowind overhaul is pretty nice. It changes the cap on magic effects from 100-500
Ahh interesting. So this is why your morrowind videos from 3 years ago randomly popped up in my recommended feed yesterday 🙌🏼
I remember playing this when it came out and it was absolutely revolutionary. I fell in love with the flexibility the developers gave you to achieve the task at hand. Before you knew it you were levitating over level 60 baddies to steal relics you had no right possessing.
15:14 video description for that segment says:
Wven further!
Love these typos, it doesnt even bother me, it fits for a morrowind video
This just made me realize how much I miss the OG Daggerfall-era Khajiit and Argonians. Thanks a lot, Spiff!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! been waiting for a new video for 3 weeks. thank you for existing
I remember back in the day discovering something like this but could've sworn it involved casting the spell onto a grand charm you placed on the floor.
We're talking original Xbox era and once past 15 skeletons, it wasn't a happy bunny
Going from a dark, gray game to those bright white stock photos is actively giving me astigmatism.
i just started playing morrowind for the first time roughly a week ago despite it sitting in my library for YEARS. this video could NOT have been better timed
Never is a cup of coffee more enjoyable than when watching a Spiff video!
Another amazing cheesey vid!
Cheers from Oz!
Technically, Argonians take on nearly infinite forms because they're all mutated animals created by the Hist, or descendants thereof. The reason they all share a form in a title is due to development restraints. There are also different forms of Khajiit for every phase of the moon, but Skyrim only has two: Sentient Housecat and Regular Person.
Excellent video...when last part of Skryim Legendary??? ❤
Love that these videos always ascent into complete chaos at the end
In Oblivion I used to make the "cast paralysis on self" spell and then throw myself off mountains, you wouldn't take fall damage if you were paralyzed. So yeah after the 100% chameleon I just did that for fun.
God I loved that game.
My favorite part was when Spiff said "its ghosting time" and proceeded to ghost all over everyone
My favorite part was when he said "It's ghosting time" and then he ghosted all over them.
Glad to see you in my feed again and that the videos are back to being about breaking games. I was getting so tired of the "look how many views I can get on this video" stuff. Hope it keeps up.
Some day you have to show off Spell Chaining in Oblivion. Fortify Magicka + Fortify Intelligence + other effects = A spell you can cast infinitely.
And that's just the beginning. Combining this with a few other effects can greatly increase the amount of Magicka you get, which in turn lets you stack even more powerful effects onto it.
oh, i used to wear equipment with Strength-boosting enchantments, to increase my max weight.
there's just one catch, a few enemies can REDUCE your intelligence, and getting it back up can be a problem IF your ADJUSTED total is over 100.
fortunately, there are only two enemies i know of that can reduce Strength.
one is a "greater bonewalker" the occasionally appears in Tombs.
and then there's Dagoth Ur, who can reduce ALL of your attributes.
another odd trick i liked to do was to summon a Deadra, and then kill it!
if you're REALLY quick, you can LOOT it before it vanishes, giving you a free Deadric weapon!
BUT if you try this, be careful, in Morrowind, when looting a corpse, an option will appear on-screen to "remove corpse".
do NOT click that when looting a summoned creature, that will cause a bunch of errors, because the game will try to make the creature fade away wen it's already gone!
that is likely to crash the game.
and it you do it too many times, the NAME of the weapon will glitch out, saying something like "deadric sword 101010101010101010"
the game will DEFINITELY crash if you try to pick up one of THOSE!
Enjoying a lovely cup while watching. Thanks Spiff!
I remember from back in the day there is a spot that you can cast a spell from and if the spell is strong enough eventually, since the spell travels until it hits something,it will hit and kill a quest character that will lock you out of the main quest.
Morrowind was my first xbox game. I never did a single quest, didnt even know there were quests until years later, but its still one of my most favorite games ive ever played. Hours and hours just wondering around aimlessly, killing and pillaging at will.
21:24 Somehow Spiff turned Morrowind into Pikmin 😂
My shock and surprise when Spiff doesn't use OpenMW.
It took me several minutes to realize before I'd figured out why you had the borders of the video like that since original MW is too old for widescreen support of course.
Missed you vids. Nice one!
I have absolutely no clue what I did or how to replicate it, nor have I met anyone else who's had this happen. But playing Oblivion shortly after it came out I came to my waterfront shack to get something, and in the chest were a bunch of goblins. As in they were an inventory item and I could drop them and they'd spawn. This also happened with the Uderfrykt Matron.
the soul trap on target to keep effects are actually hinted at in the books in morrowind and in necromancer writings in dungeons.
there may even be a way to absorb the heart
I love the Morrowind content. The lore is so much fun and had to play the game in 2020 so late to the cake. Thank you gladly sir
The more relaxed pace is definitely a plus in my opinion.
Walking through your build process was very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time i've ever seen a morrowind spiffing brit video. Hope he makes more, you can do many ridiculous things in this beautiful game.
The answer to that first question is always an " Of Course " when it's a Spiff Vid.
i think we all have done the skyrim restoration loop here by now, but I know another little cheesy exploit you might not know, in destroying the the sprint mechanic without giving yourself 12984637198474 stamina...
if you get the stealth roll perk as well as the shield charge perk, both perks activate once you go to sprint from crouching, and you begin a silent charge that both knocks enemies over and is treated as still being in stealth mode, but additionally will never stop even sprinting even if your stamina is all used up. Only thing that sucks is you need 100 block and 70 sneak, but besides that it couldn't be easier to actually do the glitch. Good to work towards if you're going back to play anniversary edition on survival
if my memory serves that exploit if you make it soul trap "on self" you get the same effect but you don't have to look at your feet. My favorite cheese spell was jump plus feather fall. about 10 to 20 points of jump plus feather fall 1 for 5 seconds let you traverse the map like the hulk. It was such a fast way to travel the xbox couldn't render the map sometimes. had to be real careful about the feather fall timing though if it ran out you died on landing.
The only morrowind thing I knew about back when I played at my friend's house on the xbox was glitching up the mountain far enough to get a sword that would normally kill you if you equipped it, and holding down the weapon swap button to get infinite stats, because for some reason the stats you could get from the sword were permanent, but the death debuff wasn't.
OBLITERATION FROM TIME
Years ago, in an age past, it was said a wizard learned of this fell weapon from a fellow student in algebra , 3rd period, it was a thursday. It must needs be enchanted unto an Ebony Staff, or Scimitar as those were the only 2 weapons that could withstand the magicks that will soon be placed upon them.
As my failing memory struggled to recall, i remeber the basis of this enchantment, which i shall recall as best be could.
Weakness to magicka 100-100 for 1 (maybe 2?) second on strike
Absorb Health 100-100 for 1 second on strike
Damage or Drain Health 100-100 for 1 second on strike (or what ever will fit, i forgot which it was)
Frost shield 1 for 1 second on strike
Fire shield 1 for 1 secondon strike
Lightning Shield 1 for 1 second on strike
Invisibility for 1 second on strike
Soultrap 1 for 1 second on target
If my memory serves, this VILE combination of ancient spells will perform the following...
Constantly be draining their health and absorbing it into yourself, permanently, over charging your hp pool with every kill (it as in, 1337/69 is what your HP could look like)
The
Dealing damage to them so they die almost instantly after but a single strike
The shield spells and invisibility are the sinister part. the shields create a conflagration of auras around the person , covering them in a flash of light. They will die almost instantly, in a flash of colors and energy, and due to soul trap and invisibility? they will become invisible.
HOW EVER, due to the quirky ness of the engine, they will be invisible, BUT THEIR SHADOW WONT BE.
This weapon when created correctly (and my above recipe is probably not correct), it will crate an abomination of an attack that will instantly obliterate people, give you their HP as bonus HP, and leave nothing but a BURNT SHADOW OF A CORPSE on the ground.
I turned many a city into a cruel tomb of burnt shadows with this weapon.
DISCLAIMER - my memory of what went into this is fuzzy, there might have been a damage spell like lightning or the drain may have been damage 50 or 1 second or something, but with soul trap permanency it becomes 50 damage a second. I remember it had the MAX amount of spell effects you could slap onto a weapon.
Enjoy this blursed weapon, and be careful attacking -anything- with reflect magic. That will most assuredly end... VERY BADLY for you.
EDIT : ALSO, I had a similar spell to your bone boys, but since you canth ave multiple similar effects on a single spell, I made a single spell that summoned literally one of nearly every undead enemy I could. Skeletons, Skeleton Lords, Ancestral Ghosts, Bonewalkers (least, normal, and greaters) and just cast that once for an instant squad of undead to charge in.
Similarly had one for atranochs. "Ever-Flavortranoch" i think i called it
Hell yeah, brother. Also Perhaps you could peep at the Millenium mod for the Empire. It encapsulates and even incorporates the Pride of the British footman and artillery piece circa the Great War; siloed into the Immortal Empires map in a perfectly balanced manner, as it were. @The Sprffing Brit
The fact Spiff goes thru this whole game with the tiniest sliver of health is honestly anxiety inducin xD
I remember the soul trap exploit... good memories. Oddly enough, still works even with Patch for Purists and BTB's Game Improvements (Necro Edit) installed. You don't even have to fire the soul trap at a wall you're snuggling, either. Just fire it off and boom, permanent spell effects.
In that room with sellus gravius, on the shelf behind him theres a key. If you steal from the table and let him chase you, you can get him stuck on the chair which lets you pick up the key and drop it on the ground before letting him catch you (this confiscates anything you stole) the key unlocks the warehouse across the street which gives you all the starting money you need
You can also choose the moonshadow sign and sneak behind him, making sure he is facing away. Then you take it, which ends your invisibility, but generally with a high enough sneak you get the key. Since the key weights nothing and is worth nothing you don’t need a very high sneak to do this.
Or you can you can know, steal the limeware platter.
@@HarveyDangerLurker You get way more stuff with the key though
@ghost-user559 ash yams and bloat is an unlimited money cheat with the masters alchemy kit. 30 minutes and your CHIM.
@@HarveyDangerLurker or you can do both
Loved your choice of adjective at 23:13
Spiff invades the city of Vivec with an army of bonelords, but fails to go after Vivec himself. That showdown would've been glorious
"Knowing their weakness, I sent waves upon waves of my own men at them..." Spiff is borrowing Zapp Brannigan's battle strategy.
"Stop dying you cowards!"
fortify enchanting to alchemy loop is amazing and also very versatile
had a blast after discovering it with almost instant magicka recharge
Hi Spiff
It will please you to know, that I’ve been visiting London this weekend, and I have been drinking coffee non-stop. So good. ☕️
12:53 is a mechanic where if you steal from a daedric shrine it will summon a dremora.
The game included a physical map. Nearly every dungeon and cave and building was drawn on the map, so if you got directions, you could actually find the spot on the physical map that correlated with where you were told to go.
Having played marrowind there's a ring at the start you can find. it is a minor thing but could be a very good starting item or you can return it to the owner.
9:46 this brings back Everquest memories more than anything heh
Dang it. You drew me back in with Morrowind.
You can get the spell "jack of all trades" in the first town. Use that to create a spell to increase your luck to whatever number then everything will work for you every time and everything wise will miss. Then boost all other stats and boom. God hood at level one. If you travel to vivic and travel north, one is the larger houses at the town across the river from the slave farm, you can find an almost compete strongest armor suit. Get mark and recall to set up at the scamp trader and boom, you're rich at level one.
no way, yesterday i watched the skyrim version of this and now you come with this
"Listen to the choir" is probably something you would NEVER want to hear from a necromancer
ahhhh i tip my hat to you lord spiff while i enjoy my cup of yorkshire tea another spiffy video well done its been a few years since i player morrowind honestly but you make me want to jump back into this wacky glitch written totally not exploitable mess of a game (ALL HAIL BARRY BONE RAISER)
First time playing this game on my the first venture on a path on starting game a guy fell out of the sky dead wearing "The Boots of Blinding Speed" which on most characters makes you entirely blind (screen goes black), luckily I was playing my favourite class at the time which was Orc which n Morrowind gets a darksight buff which when putting the boots on it just dimmed the screen a little.
With this as a Level 1 character I was able to steal so many things and run to safety, start a fight and run if they were getting out of hand and best of all speed run through entire levels without engaging minions only having to fight the big boss which usually couldn't touch me because of my speed.
It truly was perfectly balanced.
In the standard game, the boots are being carried by a different NPC. The falling guy is carrying super-jump scrolls. He forgot about fall damage.
@@damienvalentine5043 It was a long time ago maybe I've melded the two memories together, so the falling guy may not of been the case but getting those boots so early turned me into the flash.
@@christmascritters3691The boots are just found on some random redguard near Gnisis, she gives them to you after completing a quest. Or the faster method, just kill her and take them lol. I usually just stop by Nalcyra's in Balmora and buy a few exclusive magic resist potions to permanently negate the blindness effect
Cheese level 1: Leveling efficiently (slowly), abusing spell crafting, and grabbing magic items early.
Cheese level 2: Enchanting roulette
Cheese level 3: Alchemy loop. Yes.
This was my childhood game, such great memories playing this at 3am in the morning knowing i had to be up for school early.
The wii music in the background the whole video really hit
I'd have loved to see if Vivec had anything to say about your necromantic prowess, but otherwise great video!
The thing about conjuration in Elder Scrolls games released after Daggerfall is that it's pratically the only viable option in early-game if you want to do a max difficulty run. The summons don't get affected by the difficulty multiplier, which makes the strategy of "letting your minions do the dirty work for you" extremely powerful. Not only the summons don't get one-shot by a lv 1 enemy, but they would do a sizeable amount of damage as if their target was a normal difficulty run enemy. In morrowind, spamming skeletons can get you out of annoying situations where you die over and over again to Cliff Racers. In Oblivion, Scamps will divert most threats' attention from you, and will shred them should they engage fisticuffs. Even Skyrim's Conjuration skill line is viable. I'll assume you don't have the Anniversary Edition that Todd Howard gave us : Flame Atronachs are very good against early-game Dragons (assuming you didn't powerlevel on a mudcrab's rotting corpse) and Storm Atronachs are overall a great option. Storm Atronachs punch hard, shock enemies harder and are quite tanky. If you do have the Anniversary Edition, combining the Bone Colossus and Skeleton Warlock will obliterate any foe you might encounter (if you summoned them fast enough first). In a nutshell, if you want to cheese max difficulty : run summoner, because your minions will carry your cup of Yorkshire Tea for you.
Wandering Okran’s pride almost makes you wish for spiff to make a video on Kenshi🥺 and also a nuclear winter… I guess
Ye, conjuration with soul trap attached is op fr. I remember how I attached Clannfear, Dremora, Ancestor Ghost, Golden Saint, Bonewalker with Soul trap and summoned bunch of em. It was quite amusing.
Ffs O_o it's been 22 years... 22 f*iggin years... where has time gone... how has it passed :'( ... yet: we are still here ^^
