It still would have been possible for him to allow you the first blow in the games engine, just make him like the rest of the NPCs that are considered "friendly". I'm surprised they didn't do that.
I love how they took real-world lore and implemented it into the game. Perfectly executed. The Mesopotamian god Shamash inhabited a volcano nearby their land and he would 'send dreams' from the volcano/mountain. Ring a bell? The elves are like all the 'mongoloids' put together... Dwemmer are obviously based on the Sumerians though with their technology and whatnot. Everything else is a clusterfuck.
What I find ironic is that despite dagoth being evil, I think that if he won the dunmer would of been better off than if the nerevarine won. The nerevarine took the divine power away from vivic almalexia and sotha sil. Both almalexia and sotha sil die, vivec disappears, the volcano erupts, argonians attack, then morrowind is destroyed. I wonder what would of happened if dagoth won and took full control of the heart.
He tells you exactly what would have happened in the final dialogue. He would have spread the Blight beyond Vvardenfell, converted the Dunmer and lead a conquest of Tamriel with Akulakhan, with himself as its god-king.
I liked how the prophecy was quite vague and how there were other Incarnates before our hero. It raises questions if he really is Nerevar reborn or just some random guy who just happened to be extremely resourceful (or lucky) to survive and too determined (or stupid) to just give up and get the hell out of here. Dagoth Ur's first question allows us to give our own opinion about the entire plot. You might for example, accept your seemingly pre-destined role (I am Nerevar reborn) or remain sceptical to the very end (I am a self-willed hero) and whatever the truth is, it doesn't matter. Hero gets the job done and thus becomes Nerevarine. Brilliant writing.
Presentation Hello, my name is Raul. I think computer games are powerful tools to understand ourselves. I love them so much and I want to discover little by little their magic potential. I would like to create a computer game, but I have no skills for that. Despite this, I want to give my contribution to games. This little essay is about just simple thoughts and observations about classic RGPs already distributed and played, some newer, some older. But first, I want to thank you all the people that create these games: programmers, game designers, musicians, sound designers, graphic designer, artists, artificial intelligence programmers and everyone else involved, thank you! Little essay about few classic RPGs Morrowind, Skyrim, Gothic II, Dark Souls 2, Fallout 3, Daggerfall, Baldur's Gate 2, Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines, Planescape Torment and many more. All of them are fantastic games, some of them masterpieces. What makes these games great games? I believe that the great games and in particular masterpieces have the power to go inside our mind changing us forever, not just as individuals, but us all. What it is that remains in our mind and stays with us for the rest of our life? the gameplay? the graphics? the sound? the story? the characters? the concept? It is hard to say, maybe is a combination of all of them, but playing games I realized that some of these elements are far more important then others. My thoughts: 1) A beautiful and original story can go inside us much more then great graphic or gameplay mechanics. 2) The sound and music can give life to the game and enhance the experience to higher levels. 3) A face that speaks but does not show emotions is a big mistake, is better in this case don't show the animated face at all. 4) If the acting voice is inconsistent, is far more better just using the written dialog. 5) A less detailed world in terms of graphic allows to make it much more bigger. 6) More realism does not mean more immersion, I actually think that is less interesting. 7) A game is not a book, so I think that the dialogs and written words should be kept at a minimum. 8) A realistic sky is beautiful, but not interesting. Is far more better to give some character to the sky with original clouds shapes. 9) Bidimensional sprites sometime can have more character then 3d models, why not for example, animate a face with a sprite animation. 10) A world with a interesting architecture is far more memorable. 11) Sometimes low quality sample sounds can have more charm then high quality samples. 12) I suggest to developers to simplify the world so to be able and dedicated resources to make it more interesting. 13) I suggest to developers to use an old engine for concentrating on gameplay, story and characters. 14) A memorable character will never be forgotten. 15) Even the most sophisticated AI will repeat itself, so use simple scripted technology to create unexpected situation and behavior. 16) Surprise the player is one of the most important thing in a Game. 17) Scripting is time consuming but worthy as just the fantasy of a person can create beautiful unrepeatable things, events, stories, characters; this is why simplify the world can be a smart thing to do. Developers now have huge resources that can dedicate over this task instead of realistic graphics or realistic physics. 18) I think multiple choices are a non-sense, or at least not powerful. The feeling of fake options dispels the sense of immersion; the feeling is that someone wants to tell me where I'm going. 19) Steer away from realism, it drains a lot of energy and does not serve the purpose to immerse the player in something magical. 20) The world is always in the mind of the player not inside the monitor, leave the space to his imagination, in this way it is more powerful. 21) Mods are fantastic and one of the biggest reality of gaming, congratulation to all the modders that put their love in this new reality. all modders can use freely my music, just contact me if you like it and want to use it. 22) Instead of using expensive full orchestra music, hire few different unknown composers/players that can produce a lot of different music. 23) The faces of NPCs are very important, give them a lot of charisma, make them memorable. 24) It is not necessary put the voice to all the dialogs, just few memorable voiced sentence are enough to give the presence to a character. 25) Usually developers make something happen in every location, I think is a mistake; I prefer to have plenty of places where nothing happen and then when I found a place with some kind of event, it will be far more enjoyable. 26) Use a voice or writing that sometimes describes and add details to the scene, a character a place, a situation: this is a powerful tool for immersion; for example we cannot have smells or odors in a games, so the developers can add this perceptions with a txt or voice descriptions.
Raul Gubert That's quite a well thought out list. You know you could try becoming a game designer if you don't have the programming and art skills. You don't need a lot of skill yourself to make your own game, you just need a team and some good ideas.
TheSm1thers Thank you a lot, I'm happy you think there are some interesting ideas...I also agree with you, and that's exactly what I would like to do...my idea is to write a simple and small book that contains core ideas for creating games, whoever is interested can pick up the idea and develop it into a game....here a primitive example...:-) THE GAMES TO COME (title of the book) The Knight of the Universe (2nd game) The game is about a Knight dressed with an armor and he drives a sphere. The screen is divided in two. The first half of the screen is a First Person View of the knight inside the sphere, the knight is looking out from a slit of the sphere. The second half of the screen is an isometrical map; the map shows at a medium distance the sphere and its surrounding, included the enemies outside the view of the PC (Playable Character). It is a strategic map that the player has to use to navigate inside the environment and for checking the position of the enemies. The objective is to kill the enemy prince at the end of the level. All the enemies, are spheres. Inside the spheres there are knights, the player can see the helmet of the knights when is close to another sphere. There are no naked faces, just knights with different kinds of helmets. There are no weapons, actually, the spheres are the weapons themselves. The enemies knights, will try to hit the PC (Playable Character) with the spheres, or will try to push it into deadly areas, like holes, or canyons or water rivers, lakes, lava..etc... The sphere are indestructible, bun not the knights NPC or PC inside, every hard hit, hurts them, and can be killed instantaneously with a massive hit, for example when they collide with each other or against a wall at very high speed. The enemies knights have different strengths, depending on the design of the sphere, the colour, sound and size. The isometrical map has the important function to understand the best way to reach a location avoiding enemies much more powerful, or running away from group of enemies, or a high rank sphere almost impossible to defeat. One of the appeal of the games is, a part the combat, trying to avoid dangerous encounters and escape from the chasing enemies. The environment has to be very clean and geometrical, with corridors, tunnels, holes, open spaces, ramps, canyons, labyrinths, bridges, arenas (in the style of Tron). The Spheres can reach very high speed, 500 km/h... The feeling has to be like a ''Futuristic Knight Environment''. Every encounter with a knight has to be very dramatic, defeating a sphere has to be very hard, and harder with the high rank knights. The encounters must happen not often, because the best part of the game is the lonely exploration, it has to feel like a desolated and lonely world. At the end of each level the PC will meet the prince; he has not a sphere, he is just very vulnerable with his body...I inverted the cliche' that there has to be a difficult enemy at the end of each level; is more about the feeling of power and merciless. At the end of all levels, you will find the Queen and the King, the PC has to kill both and becoming the Knight of the Universe. Thank you and good work! Feel free to contact me if you are interested and want to know more about the idea. Raul Games theknightoftheuniverse.blogspot.it/ thepianistovertherainbow.blogspot.it/
Can kill anything in two hits.. runs away from a bonewalker.. yup, thats morrowind for you.. bonewalkers are an unholy creation and the modt terrifying enemy to fight in all of morrowind.
I have never played morrowind but I have played other classic games such as Majora's Mask and Mario 64 and I do not believe killing, guns, or good graphics make a good game. Hell i'm 13 and I realize that.
Jarek Kozak WOW! YOU'RE SO SPECIAL! No, really. Nobody gives a flying fuck, nigga. You're not getting loadsa internet cred for something a lot of non-casual gamers agree on.
Wow I never got the scripting in the final dungeon of Dagoth Ur talking to me, I never got the boss music, and the cutscene was skipped at the end with Azura. My journal entries filled, but I didn't get the last journal entry of Dagoth's insanity being over. Man wtf!!
There are few things more frightening in the Universe than a nearly omnipotent dark elf wearing only a thong and a broken pair of handcuffs with a gold spray-painted paper plate taped to his head.
But he is not a dark elf, right? His skin color is unrelated I think. His skin more like Corpus/ash colored. More like a chimer that havent been dusted for several eternities.
@@hannibalburgers477 He's a chimer cursed by azura to have dark skin, same as all of the other dark elves his age. He could have used the power of the heart to change himself back like the tribunal did but I guess he chose not to
every time I go to smash that heart after the first strike I always say "oops! figured it out for the 17th time did I Dagoth?...My bad but. THIS is how you kill a god." and yea it's funny as hell...every time
@@hannibalburgers477 wait, you know the Telvanni in Gnisis? Does that complete the quest? I always hated that imperial fucker who gave me that quest, too bad I joined Telvanni ;)
@@viveka2994 I used console commans to be able to join both Telvanni, Hlaalu and Guilds. But I believe you end up doing same mission as Telvanni member too.
Neravarine: Wohoo! I killed Dagoth Ur and save morrowind and the rest of Tamriel! *11 years later* Red mountain: Trololol, that was pointless. *Explodes*
The mountain's eruption and Dagoth Ur are not even related, Dagoth Ur planned on Corprus, the Divine Disease and he also planned on conquering the world, and would have succeeded. Either way red mountain go boom boom, but which is worth losing, 1 province, or the entire world? Exactly.
Slender Craft Actually they are. The heart of lorkhan being destroyed stopped Vivec's power, therefore stopping Bar Daau being held up. And far from the entire world. Just Tamriel. Places like Akavir he'd have to be even more batshit crazy than he was to invade.
+N7Garrus I don't think he was trying to attempt to invade Akavir, just that he left on an exploration expedition to the continent right before the Oblivion Crisis began, never to be seen again.
@@robertsludock there are just some interesting qualities to Alduin, like how he’s just destined to destroy this world and start the next Kapla and it’s possible that this world is meant to be destroyed and the Dovahkiin is just delaying the inevitable (source: talking with Paarthunax). But in game they display Alduin as just a powerhungry warlord with no real subtly and besides the previously mentioned talk with Paarthunax, the game doesn’t talk about fate a whole lot. So I don’t think it’s too controversial to say that Dagoth-Ur is more interesting than the most recent villains in Oblivion, Skyrim and Online. And I say this was someone who’s mostly played Skyrim, Online and a lot of Elder Kings
@@mrelephant2283 the alduin in skyrim isnt Alduin if that makes sense. Alduin restarts kalpas, this alduin broke from his purpose and is lesser for it.
I kinda like that. I always mod the battle music out of ES games. They're usually the weakest tracks and I don't like the psychic ability to know there is a rat somewhere within a mile radius
what a fool you are. i'm a god. how can you kill a god what a grand and intoxicating innocence how can you be so naive their is no escape no recall or intervention can work in this place come lay down your weapons it not too late for my mercy
I love the morrowind story It began here and it shall end here. Dagoth and nerevar both died in this place in the first era and now they meet again in the same place after 2 era's. And how dagoth speaks to you really sounds like he greets an old friend and really has respect for him but he is corrupted and thats why there cant be peace between the 2. A prophecy that came true and both knew
Constanta Amnesia Yet the kindling sparks of the wild bend and bore fist and shame all the more... Martial grimm and vows yearmed bare no truth forevermore...
Raptorcyclone That's when mods shine! I didn't finish the main quest in my main game before I completed almost everything else except the DLCs (yeah I'm a completionist:p) I installed Deadly Dragons just before the first battle with Alduin on the Throat of the World. The final fights were epic, even with a lvl 70 2H Nord Warrior in full legendary dragonbone enchanted armor and a Absorb Life / Shock Damage Greatsword
TES somehow never gets their Final Bosses good. - Tes 3 -> Dagoth Ur (a god) falls off the bridge and dies. - Tes 4 -> Which Boss fight? You do all the shit and watch Martin killing Mehrunes Dagon. - Tes 5 -> Alduin is a fucking Dragon Reskin..... The Add-Ons/DLC gave us the actual cool fights. Hircine/Kaastag, Yggalag, Harkon, Miraak....
"I'm a God! How can you kill a God?" Is brilliant, as you actually don't kill Dagoth, he falls into lava as the bridge collapses. I like to think he actually *didn't* die, but was burned so horribly he was forced to stay in the volcano until it erupted. Maybe he caused it with the power of the shattered heart. Be interesting if TES 6 expanded on Dagoth a bit more - it is possible for mortals to become gods after all. Maybe there's an unworshipped 10th divine - Dagoth Ur - The God of Technology, Betrayal and *Welcoming Moon-and-Star*
To be fair, without Kagrenac's Tools, nothing is a threat to the heart and Dagoth Ur is powerful enough to kill anything that enters the Heart Chamber. The only threat to Dagoth Ur was the Nerevarine because he's immune to Corprus and (by the lore) had gathered Kagrenac's Tools to destroy the heart.
Perhaps with the Nerevarine redeeming the Dunmer and bringing justice to the Tribunal Azura finally fully accepted them once more and her change in appearance reflected this? ie. Up until the Nerevarine fulfilling the prophecy the Chimer were her chosen people and afterwards she accepted the Dunmer as such
I remember doing this mission, as a 11 year old kid late at night on a school night. I was sweating so much, my hands were shaking, the tension was too much. To this day Morrowind still gives me the creeps.
Agreed. I can't really explain it, but the "danger" in morrowind is much more palpable... I remember the first time I ran into the guy who falls from the sky, right outside of seyda neen... It absolutely scared the hell out of me. Running into a 2 or three bandits could very well be the end of your life. Magicka doesn't regen naturally... That said, you become freakishly strong, given enough time. Being able to create your own spells... Levitation... Etc. The game felt more like an RPG, like D&D...which is obviously where this game came from. It's sad what has happened to this franchise. Now it's more like a first person shooter, but with swords. Very sad.
Remember all the gods and heros of Morrowind were not good people. The Nerevarine and Azura included. It's part of what made the story in this game so great, no matter who's side you looked at, they were all using the people of Morrowind for their own personal gains, and in the end ended up double crossing each other.
yeah it is the epitome of the stereotype of the dark elf race in fantasy genre. However Morrowind tries to reinvent the dark elf mythology into something new and revolutionary to fantasy fiction. they are not just an evil corrupted race. they are actually multidimensional people with their own context and narratifes on how they came to be and developed as a culture.
dagoth ur: [talks about conquering the land and freeing the cursed false gods with you] dagoth ur, also: no you can't join my club. i see the developers didn't get to finish their game.
@Coose Goose Voryn Dagoth was the only one who did not betray you (Nerevar). Perhaps if you claimed the Heart for yourself, his sanity could be restored through another Dragon Break like the one the Tribunal did at the Battle of Red Mountain. The prophecy is just a daedra yapping their tongue, daedra princes are not gods, just incredibly powerful spirits - and arguably, with the Heart of Lorkhan, you could be on par with them.
@@nightwishtech5329 they hold very little control on the universe relatively speaking. They are extremely powerful no doubt and are far beyond any mortal but they are still exploitable and faliable beings that can be incorrect or misleading
@@nightwishtech5329 I pity you if you believe they are more powerful than Aedra.... The daedra are just glorified demons who are even less powerful then alduin himself... Hell alduin created mehrunes daegon....to cause chaos in tamriel so he can have enough time to start his dragon resurrection plan that eventually failed at the coming of the dragonborn.... If the dragonborn can kill alduin the world eater who can travel through space and time so easily..... Do you expect any of the daedra to stand a 1% chance of defeating the dragonborn...they are just spirits with immense power and no control over the world.
Does anyone else see a striking number of similarities between Dagoth Ur and Gollum? -corrupted and driven insane by powerful artifact of ancient enemy of the elves -subsequent actions lead to death of best friend -lived in a cavern beneath a mountain isolated for a long period of time -body and mind warped to a state where he forgets details of his former life -dies by falling into volcano as said artifact is destroyed -refers to self in third person (okay DU does maybe once)
>ancient enemy of the elves The Dwemer WERE elves, and weren't the Chimer's enemy until Voryn Dagoth learned of Kagrenac and the Numidium. >subsequent actions lead to death of best friend Eh, debatable. Nerevar could already have been dying before Dagoth was corrupted. >forgets details of his former life You what?
RakeMerger > I'm referring to Lorkhan when I say ancient enemy, as he waged war against the Aedra who were the ancestral spirit to the elves. When Lorkhan lost, Akatosh shot his heart using Auriel's bow into the sea, and Red Mountain formed around it, making the heart of Lorkhan the extremely powerful and coveted artifact to parallel the One Ring and Sauron. >While Nerevar was consulting Azura, he told Voryn Dagoth to watch after the heart, which poisoned his mind and body while he was gone. When he came back he asked for the tools, upon which Dagoth refused and attacked him. I know the Ashlanders made a conflicting account in the game, but one can assume that they are only publishing documents that would portray the tribunal in a slanderous light. It's clear Nerevar's Council did some questionable stuff, but Vivec tells it straight to the Nerevarine that Dagoth Ur mortally injured Nerevar in their fight, and he doesn't really have a reason to lie at this point. Whether or not the Tribunal killed him later and seized the tools, Dagoth still set up Nerevar to die, just like Smeagol killed his best friend Deagol when he was charmed by the One Ring. > Dagoth Ur is a mad god and was still lingering in Red Mountain because his will and essence was corrupted by the heart, just like the ring twisted Gollum's mind and prolonged his life, to where he forgot his original nature and identity. In Dagoth's case, he isn't just a wretched hobo like Gollum, but his new position as a god because of the heart came with the belief he is upholding a duty to Morrowind that was never really his own. He is pretty much still living in the First era, while the rest of the world has moved on. There is no more Voryn Dagoth, just a nationalistic force of nature that wants more or less world domination. In one of the dialogue options with Dagoth Ur, we learn that he believes he was justified in protecting the heart, and that Nerevar wrongfully killed him while he was still carrying out his duty, making him a vengeful spirit that wants to take fate of Tamriel into his own hands.
* sees bonewalker , sprints away*. Seriously though fuck those creatures, cliff racers might be annoying , but not annoying enough to make you drop loot in order to go restore stats.
ahhhh, Morrowind, i still remember how i defeated dagoth ur at level 100 it was a really challenge, and how he falls from the brigde, it was awesome, Dagoth Ur will be my favorite antagonist ever in the Elder Scrolls series.
Christopher Jarek Reynoso Ramirez which shows how the game has been.... made for more casual people. To be honest, when I played morrowind i could barely understand a single shit of what I was doing.
***** Technically, you can level up infinitely using a glitch involving master trainers and attribute fortifying effects. That's how I maxed out all my stats, including Luck, on my second playthrough recently.
+Ashes of Dagoth so very complex... right..A complex character is one that you know and meet across your adventure. is built up to. Dagoth is just about as complex as the dialogue box that he greets you in. Paper thin without any real depth. he's a great villain, but far from being the MOST complex character in ALL of TES series. The most complex, objectively, from a writers stand point, is Mankar Camoran. He presents himself in the story once before you defeat him, and his threat and relevance in the story is constant, instead of doing fuck-all while you're out picking flowers and like dagoth, there's no sense of Urgency in stopping him, not even the illusion of one, there's nothing happening to major cities that threaten to wipe them off the map, there's nothing. The tribunal Expansion and the Bloodmoon expansions have much more complex villains as characters, Almalexia is built up in the story, and she is shown to be immensely powerful, her motives are made clear and there's a sense of urgency during the quest of getting to the bottom of things.
+John Blood Hm well, it was perhaps wrong to use an superlative. And apparently I used the word "complex " wrong, because I'm sure you didn't understand what I wanted to say. My bad, blame my english. Nevertheless, in my opinion he is one of the most interesting characters I encountered in the TES Series, just because his past and specially the events in the heartchamber are not so well known and let so much room for interpretation and conspiracy theories.
Mankar Camoran, come on man. He was just an insane cultist, how was he more relevant to Oblivion than Dagoth Ur was to Morrowind? Most people that played Oblivion wouldn't remember his name. Camoran is evil because he's evil. Dagoth Ur has legitimately understandable reasons behind everything he does and has an actual connection to the player, he needed the Nerevarine to gather the things he needed for him so he didn't interfere and let things play out. He has an 11 phase plan, yes it's all just background lore but that's still a part of his character, Camoran just stole an amulet. People sympathise with Dagoth Ur, no one cares about Camoran. You see the visible effects of Dagoth Ur's power, Mehrunes Dagon you don't even interact with and is the real threat in Oblivion.
John Samnath Doing a remaster for this game would basically be re making the whole game. It's not like Skyrim where they can simply dump it on a new engine and slap some shiny paint on. They would have to rebuild the whole structure. There are mods that boost the graphics to that of Oblivion and better, and they're still being produced.
Saulo RNS Skywind is going to be horrible, the Skyrim enginemisses a lot of features Morrowind has. Just one example is the greatly reduced amount of equipment slots.
John Samnath I’ve long asked for this. If it had more voice acting I would have definitely played it through. I stopped just because it was so different, I wasn’t used to it.
Gabriel Hernandez Personally, nothing. Just make sure you install the mod overhaul 3.0, and activate "shortcut key improvement" in the code patch section, to better manage inventory and dialogues. Anything that at first glance seems annoying in the game can be solved. Missing hits? train agility and make sure to choose a type of weapon as primary skill and stick with it in the beginning. No fast travel? use mage guild teleporters and mark and recall spells. No quest markers? read the journal and ask around to npc. Lost in Vvanderfell? use the map on uesp wiki. These are some tips that hope can be useful to overcome the initial impact with the game :)
Half of the problems you've listed are actually quite liked in the TES community, or at least those who like immersion, which is a very important thing in these games. The only trully anoying problem would be missing hits, but I personnaly think it makes sense, and that it is understandable from an old rpg view point.
I love these game mechanics too, that's part of what makes this game so immersive. My intention was not to mention them as problems, but as features that at first glance can be annoying for a new player but that can be actually enjoyed once you know how this game works.
I've never played this game, but I saw a few memes about Dagoth Ur and wondered if this was a "that was dumb let's make him a meme" kind of situation or a "that was so cool let's make him a meme" and from this video, I would say it's the latter. The character of Dagoth Ur really has a noble quality to the way he speaks that's never over-the-top. He does not taunt the player, except during the battle when he says that attacking him is foolish (but c'mon, who wouldn't say that). I also like how he has questions for the player, and invites the player to ask him questions. Even though he knows there will be a fight to the death, he cares about knowledge and personal interaction. It seems a shame for him to die. I also like the subtlety of the gameplay, art style, and voice acting, as opposed to most flashy modern styles.
Ikr? It's like they wrote thousand pages in a story book and ended everything with the simple phrase "...and then they all died". I was also somewhat unimpressed by the fact that a lot of what I did wasn't canon. (Ex: Neloth not dying)
cristy Knish Because you have the sole right in determining what is canon (inb4 head canon). Dagoth Ur says "what are you doing? No, you fool!" when Nerevarine strikes the Heart of Lorkhan. The reason why the Aedra didn't destroy the Heart was because it was tied to all existence.
cristy Knish Dark elves lost their homeland and had to migrate to other hostile lands to escape the cataclysm Some hero the Nerevarine turned out to be...
OH GOD ALL OF THOSE KEYS. I had to pause the video at 5 seconds to collect myself. I have played this game every few months for the past decade and the keyring is the single greatest mod ever created.
I can't get over how different this is from the usual taunting of the antagonist when you enter their lair. He really welcomes you and treats you like a long lost friend. This is so refreshing to see. I haven't played Morrowind but for this very reason, for this one character, I would.
I Remember being a massive fan of areana, daggerfall, morowind & a bit of oblivion (Never got the time to play 4 . Then I see my kid playing Skyrim... It seems the game is gunna be a family tradition xD
Not even close to being best game of all time, not even best rpg game. There are some role-playing games better than Morrowind - like Fallout:New Vegas
@@I_am_always_correct depends on how you look at it. Sure the blight was pretty devastating but that was the immature form, he didn't have full access to the power of the heart just yet so we don't really know what the end result would be.
Dagoth Ur: *breaks Azuras promise and uses the Heart to create a Necromorph Infection* Elder Scrolls fans: Seems like the good guy to me Motivation =/= Justicucation. Don't mistake Dagoth Urs character building for a Justification of his actions. The guy was just as insane as Sheoggorath.
+XxMml57xX Jeremy Soule has done the music for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. That music is directly from Morrowind, and they've reused it in later games or he's rewritten it somewhat for them.
Dagoth Ur is such a good villain. He isn't insane or somehow evil by birth. He has his own set of believes about what is best for his kind. Misguided as he might be, he has legitimate grievances with the world he seeks to correct, but what he seeks to correct those things into are malformed. Twisted. He seeks a new world, but can't see beyond his own archaic values and morals, which eventually lead to his downfall. Bethesda don't write villains like this anymore, the closest I can think of are Caesar and Mr. House from FNV, but even that wasn't Bethesda's writing team. You can see why he mustn't be allowed to succeed and why he can't be talked down. He knows this too, he doesn't try to convince you to join his cause, because to him, there is too much at stake to let you deceive him, even potentially. He even reminisces of what could have been if you maybe could have been convinced. What a fantastic villain.

I love how they took real-world lore and implemented it into the game. Perfectly executed. The Mesopotamian god Shamash inhabited a volcano nearby their land and he would 'send dreams' from the volcano/mountain. Ring a bell? The elves are like all the 'mongoloids' put together... Dwemmer are obviously based on the Sumerians though with their technology and whatnot. Everything else is a clusterfuck.
Chris Ur no es universe has nothing to do with real world lore
Undying Titan way to miss the point completely
The examples you discuss are not examples of Mongoloid races.
Anyone else but can’t help and sing Dagothwave when he makes his speech during the fight?
yes XD!
What I find ironic is that despite dagoth being evil, I think that if he won the dunmer would of been better off than if the nerevarine won.
The nerevarine took the divine power away from vivic almalexia and sotha sil. Both almalexia and sotha sil die, vivec disappears, the volcano erupts, argonians attack, then morrowind is destroyed.
I wonder what would of happened if dagoth won and took full control of the heart.
He tells you exactly what would have happened in the final dialogue. He would have spread the Blight beyond Vvardenfell, converted the Dunmer and lead a conquest of Tamriel with Akulakhan, with himself as its god-king.
@Grey-Wolf 93 personally? i'm fond of the traditional rpg setting
I liked how the prophecy was quite vague and how there were other Incarnates before our hero. It raises questions if he really is Nerevar reborn or just some random guy who just happened to be extremely resourceful (or lucky) to survive and too determined (or stupid) to just give up and get the hell out of here. Dagoth Ur's first question allows us to give our own opinion about the entire plot. You might for example, accept your seemingly pre-destined role (I am Nerevar reborn) or remain sceptical to the very end (I am a self-willed hero) and whatever the truth is, it doesn't matter. Hero gets the job done and thus becomes Nerevarine. Brilliant writing.
When i did the final battle with Dagoth he got stuck on the end of the bridge, and just watched me destroy the heart.
bethesda games amirite?
you destroyed his heart so many years ago and he was just standing, watchin then....
can't believe this is the same guy that does those tier lists and funny readings, small world
Lay down your weapons , it's not too late for my mercy ooh ooh. XD
Akulakhan and the anumidium, seriously the most badass concepts in the elder scrolls universe in my eyes
Presentation
Hello, my name is Raul.
I think computer games are powerful tools to understand ourselves.
I love them so much and I want to discover little by little their magic potential.
I would like to create a computer game, but I have no skills for that.
Despite this, I want to give my contribution to games.
This little essay is about just simple thoughts and observations about classic RGPs already distributed and played, some newer, some older.
But first, I want to thank you all the people that create these games: programmers, game designers, musicians, sound designers, graphic designer, artists, artificial intelligence programmers and everyone else involved, thank you!
Little essay about few classic RPGs
Morrowind, Skyrim, Gothic II, Dark Souls 2, Fallout 3, Daggerfall, Baldur's Gate 2, Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines, Planescape Torment and many more.
All of them are fantastic games, some of them masterpieces.
What makes these games great games?
I believe that the great games and in particular masterpieces have the power to go inside our mind changing us forever, not just as individuals, but us all.
What it is that remains in our mind and stays with us for the rest of our life? the gameplay? the graphics? the sound? the story? the characters? the concept?
It is hard to say, maybe is a combination of all of them, but playing games I realized that some of these elements are far more important then others.
My thoughts:
1) A beautiful and original story can go inside us much more then great graphic or gameplay mechanics.
2) The sound and music can give life to the game and enhance the experience to higher levels.
3) A face that speaks but does not show emotions is a big mistake, is better in this case don't show the animated face at all.
4) If the acting voice is inconsistent, is far more better just using the written dialog.
5) A less detailed world in terms of graphic allows to make it much more bigger.
6) More realism does not mean more immersion, I actually think that is less interesting.
7) A game is not a book, so I think that the dialogs and written words should be kept at a minimum.
8) A realistic sky is beautiful, but not interesting. Is far more better to give some character to the sky with original clouds shapes.
9) Bidimensional sprites sometime can have more character then 3d models, why not for example, animate a face with a sprite animation.
10) A world with a interesting architecture is far more memorable.
11) Sometimes low quality sample sounds can have more charm then high quality samples.
12) I suggest to developers to simplify the world so to be able and dedicated resources to make it more interesting.
13) I suggest to developers to use an old engine for concentrating on gameplay, story and characters.
14) A memorable character will never be forgotten.
15) Even the most sophisticated AI will repeat itself, so use simple scripted technology to create unexpected situation and behavior.
16) Surprise the player is one of the most important thing in a Game.
17) Scripting is time consuming but worthy as just the fantasy of a person can create beautiful unrepeatable things, events, stories, characters; this is why simplify the world can be a smart thing to do. Developers now have huge resources that can dedicate over this task instead of realistic graphics or realistic physics.
18) I think multiple choices are a non-sense, or at least not powerful. The feeling of fake options dispels the sense of immersion; the feeling is that someone wants to tell me where I'm going.
19) Steer away from realism, it drains a lot of energy and does not serve the purpose to immerse the player in something magical.
20) The world is always in the mind of the player not inside the monitor, leave the space to his imagination, in this way it is more powerful.
21) Mods are fantastic and one of the biggest reality of gaming, congratulation to all the modders that put their love in this new reality.
all modders can use freely my music, just contact me if you like it and want to use it.
22) Instead of using expensive full orchestra music, hire few different unknown composers/players that can produce a lot of different music.
23) The faces of NPCs are very important, give them a lot of charisma, make them memorable.
24) It is not necessary put the voice to all the dialogs, just few memorable voiced sentence are enough to give the presence to a character.
25) Usually developers make something happen in every location, I think is a mistake; I prefer to have plenty of places where nothing happen and then when I found a place with some kind of event, it will be far more enjoyable.
26) Use a voice or writing that sometimes describes and add details to the scene, a character a place, a situation: this is a powerful tool for immersion; for example we cannot have smells or odors in a games, so the developers can add this perceptions with a txt or voice descriptions.
Raul Gubert That's quite a well thought out list. You know you could try becoming a game designer if you don't have the programming and art skills. You don't need a lot of skill yourself to make your own game, you just need a team and some good ideas.
TheSm1thers Thank you a lot, I'm happy you think there are some interesting ideas...I also agree with you, and that's exactly what I would like to do...my idea is to write a simple and small book that contains core ideas for creating games, whoever is interested can pick up the idea and develop it into a game....here a primitive example...:-)
THE GAMES TO COME (title of the book)
The Knight of the Universe
(2nd game)
The game is about a Knight dressed with an armor and he drives a sphere.
The screen is divided in two.
The first half of the screen is a First Person View of the knight inside the sphere, the knight is looking out from a slit of the sphere.
The second half of the screen is an isometrical map;
the map shows at a medium distance the sphere and its surrounding, included the enemies outside the view of the PC (Playable Character).
It is a strategic map that the player has to use to navigate inside the environment and for checking the position of the enemies.
The objective is to kill the enemy prince at the end of the level.
All the enemies, are spheres.
Inside the spheres there are knights, the player can see the helmet of the knights when is close to another sphere.
There are no naked faces, just knights with different kinds of helmets.
There are no weapons, actually, the spheres are the weapons themselves.
The enemies knights, will try to hit the PC (Playable Character) with the spheres, or will try to push it into deadly areas, like holes, or canyons or water rivers, lakes, lava..etc...
The sphere are indestructible, bun not the knights NPC or PC inside, every hard hit, hurts them, and can be killed instantaneously with a massive hit, for example when they collide with each other or against a wall at very high speed.
The enemies knights have different strengths, depending on the design of the sphere, the colour, sound and size.
The isometrical map has the important function to understand the best way to reach a location avoiding enemies much more powerful, or running away from group of enemies, or a high rank sphere almost impossible to defeat.
One of the appeal of the games is, a part the combat, trying to avoid dangerous encounters and escape from the chasing enemies.
The environment has to be very clean and geometrical, with corridors, tunnels, holes, open spaces, ramps, canyons, labyrinths, bridges, arenas (in the style of Tron).
The Spheres can reach very high speed, 500 km/h...
The feeling has to be like a ''Futuristic Knight Environment''.
Every encounter with a knight has to be very dramatic, defeating a sphere has to be very hard, and harder with the high rank knights.
The encounters must happen not often, because the best part of the game is the lonely exploration, it has to feel like a desolated and lonely world.
At the end of each level the PC will meet the prince; he has not a sphere, he is just very vulnerable with his body...I inverted the cliche' that there has to be a difficult enemy at the end of each level; is more about the feeling of power and merciless.
At the end of all levels, you will find the Queen and the King, the PC has to kill both and becoming the Knight of the Universe.
Thank you and good work!
Feel free to contact me if you are interested and want to know more about the idea.

Morrowind had that mystical lore and story which no game since has been able to capture. This is true fantasy.
Pretty amazing at how many people such as myself still play this!
Man I wana joined my pal dagoth ur we killed him but he forgive us and when we strike him he still gave as a chance
Very good video! I just bought Morrowind on steam, kinda hard to get used to it, but once i did it's just epic :)
Azura: delivers an epic poetic ending to the main story. Calls the ring a thing.
Kek, even at this high level, with gear like this, no one fucks with bonewalkers.
Holy smokes this guy keeps all those keys.
This is the end... the bitter, bitter end.
I'M A GOD. HOW CAN YOU -
what are you doing?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
FOOL!
STOP!
Such a golden moment in gaming history
What if you really drop your weapons after his talk?
Can kill anything in two hits.. runs away from a bonewalker.. yup, thats morrowind for you.. bonewalkers are an unholy creation and the modt terrifying enemy to fight in all of morrowind.
1:08 are those plague doctors?
I have never played morrowind but I have played other classic games such as Majora's Mask and Mario 64 and I do not believe killing, guns, or good graphics make a good game. Hell i'm 13 and I realize that.
Jarek Kozak WOW! YOU'RE SO SPECIAL!
No, really. Nobody gives a flying fuck, nigga. You're not getting loadsa internet cred for something a lot of non-casual gamers agree on.
I don't really think age matters in realizing that.
You filthy n'wah!
Holy shit that a lot of keys, thank the nine Bethesda thought of a key-ring.
I need my chad armor and weapons and a fuckton of potions for this
Do you think it’s possible for the neverine would be king of akaviri or did he die
This game had an element of customization of ability that modern games today lack all together.
Wow I never got the scripting in the final dungeon of Dagoth Ur talking to me, I never got the boss music, and the cutscene was skipped at the end with Azura. My journal entries filled, but I didn't get the last journal entry of Dagoth's insanity being over.
Man wtf!!
I came here from Dagoth Wave.
Those keys! Could you not find a cloth sack? 😆
Most keys weigh nothing, no point getting rid of them.
@@BippoErnesti Good point on the weight. My OCD just forbids their continued presence in my menu. 😆
there's a mod for oblivion that remakes morrowind, and someone's making a version for skyrim as well
is there asmr for dagoth ur?
There are few things more frightening in the Universe than a nearly omnipotent dark elf wearing only a thong and a broken pair of handcuffs with a gold spray-painted paper plate taped to his head.
Steve the Cat LMAO!!! I'm dead after reading that xD
Dear god 🤣😆
But he is not a dark elf, right? His skin color is unrelated I think. His skin more like Corpus/ash colored.
More like a chimer that havent been dusted for several eternities.
@@hannibalburgers477 He's a chimer cursed by azura to have dark skin, same as all of the other dark elves his age. He could have used the power of the heart to change himself back like the tribunal did but I guess he chose not to
Probably one of the best comments of all time
Ahh, the memories. Wish I was still alive.
Dagoth Ur ahhhh that memory wish didnt killed my brother
then he turned into a half machine and beat the shit out of me
i'm still amazed how polite you were , my lord
hanzo shimada Genji is bae.
The sleeper has awakened!
I'd rather be hibernating!
Anyone else find it hard not to laugh when Dagoth loses his shit as you attack the heart?
SparkyMcK I thought it was really funny when he's just about to get you then the bridge collapses. Funny shit right there.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM"- proceeds to slap you with his hands
why did i have a feeling that i've seen you in a facebook shitposting group before?
every time I go to smash that heart after the first strike I always say "oops! figured it out for the 17th time did I Dagoth?...My bad but. THIS is how you kill a god." and yea it's funny as hell...every time
Imagine showing up just to ask Dagoth Ur what happened to the Dwemer and complete the mage guild's quest.
But even after that quest you don't know what happened to them. Two books contradict each other, and one is mixture of both.
@@hannibalburgers477 wait, you know the Telvanni in Gnisis? Does that complete the quest? I always hated that imperial fucker who gave me that quest, too bad I joined Telvanni ;)
@@viveka2994 I used console commans to be able to join both Telvanni, Hlaalu and Guilds. But I believe you end up doing same mission as Telvanni member too.
@@hannibalburgers477 ah I seee
But our dwemer brother they mocked our foolish ritual, instead they prefer their god of logic -vivec
Dagoth Ur would have had a better chance if he removed the bridge.
+poniesinashed
That's kind of a worthless plan though if you can levitate.
+poniesinashed lands? who needs land when you can levitate? (i am aware that levitating is limited)
I just discovered there was a bridge lol first time I killed him I was levitating
Remember how you get those levitating pants from one of the former Nerevarine candidates in that Moon Cave.
why levitate when you can OD on skooma
Neravarine: Wohoo! I killed Dagoth Ur and save morrowind and the rest of Tamriel!
*11 years later*
Red mountain: Trololol, that was pointless.
*Explodes*
The mountain's eruption and Dagoth Ur are not even related, Dagoth Ur planned on Corprus, the Divine Disease and he also planned on conquering the world, and would have succeeded. Either way red mountain go boom boom, but which is worth losing, 1 province, or the entire world? Exactly.
Slender Craft Actually they are.
The heart of lorkhan being destroyed stopped Vivec's power, therefore stopping Bar Daau being held up.
And far from the entire world.
Just Tamriel.
Places like Akavir he'd have to be even more batshit crazy than he was to invade.
+N7Garrus
I don't think he was trying to attempt to invade Akavir, just that he left on an exploration expedition to the continent right before the Oblivion Crisis began, never to be seen again.
Lil' Poot Talking about Dagoth, Nerevarine might have killed a ton of things on Akavir though
+N7Garrus >Implying Vivec didn't achieve CHIM.
This is how main antagonist is made, rival, friend and bitter enemy with tons of subtler details and lore behind the conflict.
Alduin can fly tho.
after reading through his dialogue I find his plan quite good to be honest... not an expert on elder scrolls lore but hey it makes sense
There is plenty of lore and backstory for alduin as well, you can just say "Hey, i like this one better" it comes off much less desperate.
@@robertsludock you obviously have no idea about elder scrolls lore
@@robertsludock there are just some interesting qualities to Alduin, like how he’s just destined to destroy this world and start the next Kapla and it’s possible that this world is meant to be destroyed and the Dovahkiin is just delaying the inevitable (source: talking with Paarthunax). But in game they display Alduin as just a powerhungry warlord with no real subtly and besides the previously mentioned talk with Paarthunax, the game doesn’t talk about fate a whole lot. So I don’t think it’s too controversial to say that Dagoth-Ur is more interesting than the most recent villains in Oblivion, Skyrim and Online. And I say this was someone who’s mostly played Skyrim, Online and a lot of Elder Kings
@@mrelephant2283 the alduin in skyrim isnt Alduin if that makes sense. Alduin restarts kalpas, this alduin broke from his purpose and is lesser for it.
Peaceful Music in the background while things explode
TES In a Nutshell
It is battle music. Music in TES since Morrowind have a strange approach to the game.
I kinda like that. I always mod the battle music out of ES games. They're usually the weakest tracks and I don't like the psychic ability to know there is a rat somewhere within a mile radius
One of the greatest final encounters in rpg history. " I am a God? You cannot kill a God! What an intoxicating innocence! "
I'm a god! How can you kill a god? what a grand and intoxicating innocence!
Shame on you, sweet Nerevar.
I am now hearing "Dagothwave" playing in my head as I read this thread. 😆
what a fool you are. i'm a god. how can you kill a god what a grand and intoxicating innocence how can you be so naive their is no escape no recall or intervention can work in this place come lay down your weapons it not too late for my mercy
I love the morrowind story
It began here and it shall end here.
Dagoth and nerevar both died in this place in the first era and now they meet again in the same place after 2 era's. And how dagoth speaks to you really sounds like he greets an old friend and really has respect for him but he is corrupted and thats why there cant be peace between the 2. A prophecy that came true and both knew
Constanta Amnesia Agreed.
Constanta Amnesia Yet the kindling sparks of the wild bend and bore fist and shame all the more... Martial grimm and vows yearmed bare no truth forevermore...
In the end. As corrupt as he became. He always tried to keep his oath unlike the rest
I decided to get to dagoth at level 10. Needless to say it was the worst idea of my life.
Try level 6
as the word of caius cosades take your goddamn time don't rush it
@@lordnerevar137 easy just buy hundred bottles of sujamma
I actually beat him at level 11 as long as you have a lot of enchantments it shouldn’t be that hard
@@noobgun12 loooooll that's what i dooo
Still a better final boss than Alduin
But you don't even directly kill Dagoth. In this video, he just falls off the bridge when the Heart is destroyed.
DarkAdonisVyers It was more of a joke, both fights are pretty underwhelming for how much the game builds them up.
Raptorcyclone That's when mods shine! I didn't finish the main quest in my main game before I completed almost everything else except the DLCs (yeah I'm a completionist:p) I installed Deadly Dragons just before the first battle with Alduin on the Throat of the World. The final fights were epic, even with a lvl 70 2H Nord Warrior in full legendary dragonbone enchanted armor and a Absorb Life / Shock Damage Greatsword
TES somehow never gets their Final Bosses good.
- Tes 3 -> Dagoth Ur (a god) falls off the bridge and dies.
- Tes 4 -> Which Boss fight? You do all the shit and watch Martin killing Mehrunes Dagon.
- Tes 5 -> Alduin is a fucking Dragon Reskin.....
The Add-Ons/DLC gave us the actual cool fights. Hircine/Kaastag, Yggalag, Harkon, Miraak....
If Alduin didn't have such a low level and had something unique then he could have been good
"I'm a God! How can you kill a God?" Is brilliant, as you actually don't kill Dagoth, he falls into lava as the bridge collapses. I like to think he actually *didn't* die, but was burned so horribly he was forced to stay in the volcano until it erupted. Maybe he caused it with the power of the shattered heart. Be interesting if TES 6 expanded on Dagoth a bit more - it is possible for mortals to become gods after all. Maybe there's an unworshipped 10th divine - Dagoth Ur - The God of Technology, Betrayal and *Welcoming Moon-and-Star*
Talos became god after all.
The volcano erupted because a moon finally hit it.
Of course its possible for mortals to become gods. Have you ever heard of Tiber septum?
2 years late but you can actually kill him, if you dont run and instead just attack him he will die
With the heart gone, the gods of the tribunal, as well as Dagoth Ur, become mortal. He was alive in that magma until the heart left Nirn
"I'm a god. How can you kill a god whose power source is poorly guarded?"
To be fair, without Kagrenac's Tools, nothing is a threat to the heart and Dagoth Ur is powerful enough to kill anything that enters the Heart Chamber. The only threat to Dagoth Ur was the Nerevarine because he's immune to Corprus and (by the lore) had gathered Kagrenac's Tools to destroy the heart.
That Dagoth Ur voiceover is so ''emotional''
Also, why Azura has danmer model in-game while she is chimer in cinematic?
I question that also
+sammuel282 because the dunmer are the chimer according to the elder scrolls lore
I think it’s just the lighting
If you were a god, wouldn't you? Messing with petty mortals sounds fun to me :P
Perhaps with the Nerevarine redeeming the Dunmer and bringing justice to the Tribunal Azura finally fully accepted them once more and her change in appearance reflected this? ie. Up until the Nerevarine fulfilling the prophecy the Chimer were her chosen people and afterwards she accepted the Dunmer as such
I like how in this game you’re not the only one asking questions, he asks you just as many questions as you ask him which is kind of cool.
I remember doing this mission, as a 11 year old kid late at night on a school night. I was sweating so much, my hands were shaking, the tension was too much.
To this day Morrowind still gives me the creeps.
Papalord pussy
Papadale // lyrics I guess you didnt go outside much as a child
Agreed. I can't really explain it, but the "danger" in morrowind is much more palpable... I remember the first time I ran into the guy who falls from the sky, right outside of seyda neen... It absolutely scared the hell out of me. Running into a 2 or three bandits could very well be the end of your life. Magicka doesn't regen naturally... That said, you become freakishly strong, given enough time. Being able to create your own spells... Levitation... Etc.
The game felt more like an RPG, like D&D...which is obviously where this game came from. It's sad what has happened to this franchise. Now it's more like a first person shooter, but with swords. Very sad.
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman sure you did
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman wow.... So what? You have fun ruining games for yourself?
7:16 Whaddya DOIN????
Remember all the gods and heros of Morrowind were not good people. The Nerevarine and Azura included. It's part of what made the story in this game so great, no matter who's side you looked at, they were all using the people of Morrowind for their own personal gains, and in the end ended up double crossing each other.
Yeah, but there are kinda cool guys. Also Nerevar himself was pretty awesome.
@@poobus9365 too bad he was soul trapped and is now in the Soul Cairn
HI FRIZZY
yeah it is the epitome of the stereotype of the dark elf race in fantasy genre. However Morrowind tries to reinvent the dark elf mythology into something new and revolutionary to fantasy fiction. they are not just an evil corrupted race. they are actually multidimensional people with their own context and narratifes on how they came to be and developed as a culture.
Whatever little bundle of sticks, you're a neoliberal puppet and your comment says it all
I wish they would remaster this game to have the same graphics as Skyrim.
Yea I did not to long ago, can't wait to play it :)

dagoth ur, also: no you can't join my club.
i see the developers didn't get to finish their game.
@Coose Goose Voryn Dagoth was the only one who did not betray you (Nerevar). Perhaps if you claimed the Heart for yourself, his sanity could be restored through another Dragon Break like the one the Tribunal did at the Battle of Red Mountain. The prophecy is just a daedra yapping their tongue, daedra princes are not gods, just incredibly powerful spirits - and arguably, with the Heart of Lorkhan, you could be on par with them.
@@danvolodar They are Gods though. They’re more powerful than the Aedra.
@@nightwishtech5329 they are "gods" because they claimed the powers of ONE dismembered Aedra's organ.
@@nightwishtech5329 they hold very little control on the universe relatively speaking. They are extremely powerful no doubt and are far beyond any mortal but they are still exploitable and faliable beings that can be incorrect or misleading
@@nightwishtech5329 I pity you if you believe they are more powerful than Aedra.... The daedra are just glorified demons who are even less powerful then alduin himself... Hell alduin created mehrunes daegon....to cause chaos in tamriel so he can have enough time to start his dragon resurrection plan that eventually failed at the coming of the dragonborn.... If the dragonborn can kill alduin the world eater who can travel through space and time so easily..... Do you expect any of the daedra to stand a 1% chance of defeating the dragonborn...they are just spirits with immense power and no control over the world.

*sigh* well, there goes all the Dwemer's hard work. I wish I could have seen the numidium in action though.
***** Never could figure out how that whole thing works.
***** I know what it is... just... how can it cause a dragon break?
Whenever a dragon break occurs something disappears. In daggerfall the dragon break caused the numidium to vanish. So how come akhulakan exists?
***** Where did he learn how to build a numidium?!
Oh!! thx.
"Come to the Heart Chamber. I will wait for you there, where we last met, countless ages ago"

yeah
If Bethesda made a remaster this game would possibly be one of the greatest games
Disagreed. Plotwise, yes, but execution, not a chance in Hell since it's Bethesda.
Somehow, it will "just work".
Welcome moon and star come to me through fire and war Oh Oh!
All.... these...keys....
Does anyone else see a striking number of similarities between Dagoth Ur and Gollum?
-corrupted and driven insane by powerful artifact of ancient enemy of the elves
-subsequent actions lead to death of best friend
-lived in a cavern beneath a mountain isolated for a long period of time
-body and mind warped to a state where he forgets details of his former life
-dies by falling into volcano as said artifact is destroyed
-refers to self in third person (okay DU does maybe once)
There are many similarities beetween TES and LOTR, Skyrim it's probably based in one of the J.R Tolkien stories.
He clearly falls in at 7:30
>ancient enemy of the elves
The Dwemer WERE elves, and weren't the Chimer's enemy until Voryn Dagoth learned of Kagrenac and the Numidium.
>subsequent actions lead to death of best friend
Eh, debatable. Nerevar could already have been dying before Dagoth was corrupted.
>forgets details of his former life
You what?
RakeMerger > I'm referring to Lorkhan when I say ancient enemy, as he waged war against the Aedra who were the ancestral spirit to the elves. When Lorkhan lost, Akatosh shot his heart using Auriel's bow into the sea, and Red Mountain formed around it, making the heart of Lorkhan the extremely powerful and coveted artifact to parallel the One Ring and Sauron.
>While Nerevar was consulting Azura, he told Voryn Dagoth to watch after the heart, which poisoned his mind and body while he was gone. When he came back he asked for the tools, upon which Dagoth refused and attacked him. I know the Ashlanders made a conflicting account in the game, but one can assume that they are only publishing documents that would portray the tribunal in a slanderous light. It's clear Nerevar's Council did some questionable stuff, but Vivec tells it straight to the Nerevarine that Dagoth Ur mortally injured Nerevar in their fight, and he doesn't really have a reason to lie at this point. Whether or not the Tribunal killed him later and seized the tools, Dagoth still set up Nerevar to die, just like Smeagol killed his best friend Deagol when he was charmed by the One Ring.
> Dagoth Ur is a mad god and was still lingering in Red Mountain because his will and essence was corrupted by the heart, just like the ring twisted Gollum's mind and prolonged his life, to where he forgot his original nature and identity. In Dagoth's case, he isn't just a wretched hobo like Gollum, but his new position as a god because of the heart came with the belief he is upholding a duty to Morrowind that was never really his own. He is pretty much still living in the First era, while the rest of the world has moved on. There is no more Voryn Dagoth, just a nationalistic force of nature that wants more or less world domination. In one of the dialogue options with Dagoth Ur, we learn that he believes he was justified in protecting the heart, and that Nerevar wrongfully killed him while he was still carrying out his duty, making him a vengeful spirit that wants to take fate of Tamriel into his own hands.
No, they're really not similar characters, at all
Can't you just join him or at least keep the divine power for yourself or you always have to be a puppet of the daedra?
+Wan Doff You can defy the Daedra and then Azura is very angry :D
To be honest many of us wanted a "join Dagoth and conquer Tamriel" ending. Anti-CHIM does weird things to you, but whatever.
* sees bonewalker , sprints away*. Seriously though fuck those creatures, cliff racers might be annoying , but not annoying enough to make you drop loot in order to go restore stats.
ahhhh, Morrowind, i still remember how i defeated dagoth ur at level 100 it was a really challenge, and how he falls from the brigde, it was awesome, Dagoth Ur will be my favorite antagonist ever in the Elder Scrolls series.
Christopher Jarek Reynoso Ramirez If you go lvl 100 in skyrim to fight alduin you probably beat the shit out of him with no effort.
Darroch192 thats true
Christopher Jarek Reynoso Ramirez which shows how the game has been.... made for more casual people. To be honest, when I played morrowind i could barely understand a single shit of what I was doing.
Morrowind's max level is 78..
***** Technically, you can level up infinitely using a glitch involving master trainers and attribute fortifying effects. That's how I maxed out all my stats, including Luck, on my second playthrough recently.
I watched so many AI Dagoth Ur memes, that I needed to hear what he actually said, and he sounds exactly like the AI memes.
Dagoth Ur...the most complex character of all TES series in my opinion.
+Ashes of Dagoth so very complex... right..A complex character is one that you know and meet across your adventure. is built up to. Dagoth is just about as complex as the dialogue box that he greets you in. Paper thin without any real depth. he's a great villain, but far from being the MOST complex character in ALL of TES series. The most complex, objectively, from a writers stand point, is Mankar Camoran. He presents himself in the story once before you defeat him, and his threat and relevance in the story is constant, instead of doing fuck-all while you're out picking flowers and like dagoth, there's no sense of Urgency in stopping him, not even the illusion of one, there's nothing happening to major cities that threaten to wipe them off the map, there's nothing. The tribunal Expansion and the Bloodmoon expansions have much more complex villains as characters, Almalexia is built up in the story, and she is shown to be immensely powerful, her motives are made clear and there's a sense of urgency during the quest of getting to the bottom of things.
+John Blood Hm well, it was perhaps wrong to use an superlative. And apparently I used the word "complex " wrong, because I'm sure you didn't understand what I wanted to say. My bad, blame my english. Nevertheless, in my opinion he is one of the most interesting characters I encountered in the TES Series, just because his past and specially the events in the heartchamber are not so well known and let so much room for interpretation and conspiracy theories.
John Blood “Ur-gency” I see what you did there.
Mankar Camoran, come on man. He was just an insane cultist, how was he more relevant to Oblivion than Dagoth Ur was to Morrowind? Most people that played Oblivion wouldn't remember his name. Camoran is evil because he's evil. Dagoth Ur has legitimately understandable reasons behind everything he does and has an actual connection to the player, he needed the Nerevarine to gather the things he needed for him so he didn't interfere and let things play out. He has an 11 phase plan, yes it's all just background lore but that's still a part of his character, Camoran just stole an amulet. People sympathise with Dagoth Ur, no one cares about Camoran. You see the visible effects of Dagoth Ur's power, Mehrunes Dagon you don't even interact with and is the real threat in Oblivion.
You’ve obviously never met M’aiq The Liar...
Best Elder Scrolls game ever, this should be remastered.
John Samnath Doing a remaster for this game would basically be re making the whole game. It's not like Skyrim where they can simply dump it on a new engine and slap some shiny paint on. They would have to rebuild the whole structure.
There are mods that boost the graphics to that of Oblivion and better, and they're still being produced.
Well, Skywind is in production...
Saulo RNS Skywind is going to be horrible, the Skyrim enginemisses a lot of features Morrowind has. Just one example is the greatly reduced amount of equipment slots.
Yes, it is the best TESO ever, uncounted hours of playing, Still i can find something new in this game.
John Samnath I’ve long asked for this. If it had more voice acting I would have definitely played it through. I stopped just because it was so different, I wasn’t used to it.
I've finished this game to minutes ago. Best game ever played.
Pippetto Er Paraculo anything you hated about it?
Gabriel Hernandez
Personally, nothing. Just make sure you install the mod overhaul 3.0, and activate "shortcut key improvement" in the code patch section, to better manage inventory and dialogues. Anything that at first glance seems annoying in the game can be solved. Missing hits? train agility and make sure to choose a type of weapon as primary skill and stick with it in the beginning. No fast travel? use mage guild teleporters and mark and recall spells. No quest markers? read the journal and ask around to npc. Lost in Vvanderfell? use the map on uesp wiki. These are some tips that hope can be useful to overcome the initial impact with the game :)
Half of the problems you've listed are actually quite liked in the TES community, or at least those who like immersion, which is a very important thing in these games. The only trully anoying problem would be missing hits, but I personnaly think it makes sense, and that it is understandable from an old rpg view point.
I love these game mechanics too, that's part of what makes this game so immersive. My intention was not to mention them as problems, but as features that at first glance can be annoying for a new player but that can be actually enjoyed once you know how this game works.
This game is great. i want to play as an Argonian but it sucked. Horrible stats boost.
I've never played this game, but I saw a few memes about Dagoth Ur and wondered if this was a "that was dumb let's make him a meme" kind of situation or a "that was so cool let's make him a meme" and from this video, I would say it's the latter. The character of Dagoth Ur really has a noble quality to the way he speaks that's never over-the-top. He does not taunt the player, except during the battle when he says that attacking him is foolish (but c'mon, who wouldn't say that). I also like how he has questions for the player, and invites the player to ask him questions. Even though he knows there will be a fight to the death, he cares about knowledge and personal interaction. It seems a shame for him to die. I also like the subtlety of the gameplay, art style, and voice acting, as opposed to most flashy modern styles.
And in Skyrim we learned that everything you did in this game was for absolutely nothing.
You saved Vvardenfell from Dagoth Ur, the Red Mountain not so much...
MrTokyo34 exactly the point. Morrowind was still fucked.
Ikr? It's like they wrote thousand pages in a story book and ended everything with the simple phrase "...and then they all died".
I was also somewhat unimpressed by the fact that a lot of what I did wasn't canon. (Ex: Neloth not dying)
cristy Knish
Because you have the sole right in determining what is canon (inb4 head canon).
Dagoth Ur says "what are you doing? No, you fool!" when Nerevarine strikes the Heart of Lorkhan. The reason why the Aedra didn't destroy the Heart was because it was tied to all existence.
cristy Knish Dark elves lost their homeland and had to migrate to other hostile lands to escape the cataclysm Some hero the Nerevarine turned out to be...
OH GOD ALL OF THOSE KEYS. I had to pause the video at 5 seconds to collect myself.
I have played this game every few months for the past decade and the keyring is the single greatest mod ever created.
+ThePoetech Keyring is also the single buggiest mod ever created if you have any other major mods. Namely the Telvanni mods.
*"Come, take this thing from hand of god."*
Sends shivers down my spine.
This is making me sad because of the memories
I can't get over how different this is from the usual taunting of the antagonist when you enter their lair. He really welcomes you and treats you like a long lost friend. This is so refreshing to see. I haven't played Morrowind but for this very reason, for this one character, I would.
I Remember being a massive fan of areana, daggerfall, morowind & a bit of oblivion (Never got the time to play 4 . Then I see my kid playing Skyrim... It seems the game is gunna be a family tradition xD
You didn't play Oblivion? Shame on you sweet Nerevar.
i just realized that i've never actually watched the akulakhan collapse. i always booked it outta there when i beat dagoth ur.
18 Dislikes from House Dagoth.. 8(
I would like to join Dagoth Ur :(
Hands down best game of all time. It redefined RPG's.
Sterling C maybe back then nowdays is pure shitfest ,story is cool thi
Sterling C A very good game indeed, but it redefined RPGs in a bad way, just look at Fallout 4...
Not even close to being best game of all time, not even best rpg game. There are some role-playing games better than Morrowind - like Fallout:New Vegas
I just finished this game...a wonderful experience and Skyrim‘s main story feels so bleak in comparison to this masterpiece
Daddy Dagoth did nothing wrong
I would join him in a heartbeat.
Every time I beat Dagoth Ur, he always falls in the lava. The programmers really should have given him the ability to fly.
I love how the AI has his voice locked down.
That feeling when you question whether or not the antagonist was right...
I miss good writing in RPGs.
ESO's Wrothgar is like that. You end up setting up Orsiniums downfall.
He wasn't
@@I_am_always_correct depends on how you look at it. Sure the blight was pretty devastating but that was the immature form, he didn't have full access to the power of the heart just yet so we don't really know what the end result would be.
Dagoth Ur: *breaks Azuras promise and uses the Heart to create a Necromorph Infection*
Elder Scrolls fans: Seems like the good guy to me
Motivation =/= Justicucation. Don't mistake Dagoth Urs character building for a Justification of his actions. The guy was just as insane as Sheoggorath.
IM A GOD HOW CAN YOU KILL A GOD???
Instead of Dagoth Ur (facility) shouldn’t you have called the chapter Dagoth Ur, the Building?
seeing this makes me so nostalgic ..first great game ive ever played
I have never played morrowind but I hear the skyrim music at 3:48 did morrowind have that song too or are u just playing it in the background
+XxMml57xX Yes, Morrowind had the same track. Skyrim re-uses some tracks from Morrowind and I think Oblivion.
That is what I thought and thank your for answering
+XxMml57xX Most of the time (like in this one) its snippets and remixes.
+XxMml57xX Most of the time (like in this one) its snippets and remixes.
+XxMml57xX Jeremy Soule has done the music for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. That music is directly from Morrowind, and they've reused it in later games or he's rewritten it somewhat for them.
Dagoth Ur is such a good villain. He isn't insane or somehow evil by birth. He has his own set of believes about what is best for his kind. Misguided as he might be, he has legitimate grievances with the world he seeks to correct, but what he seeks to correct those things into are malformed. Twisted. He seeks a new world, but can't see beyond his own archaic values and morals, which eventually lead to his downfall. Bethesda don't write villains like this anymore, the closest I can think of are Caesar and Mr. House from FNV, but even that wasn't Bethesda's writing team.
You can see why he mustn't be allowed to succeed and why he can't be talked down. He knows this too, he doesn't try to convince you to join his cause, because to him, there is too much at stake to let you deceive him, even potentially. He even reminisces of what could have been if you maybe could have been convinced. What a fantastic villain.
Still salty about not having a join him ending
why the fuck are the enemies in this game in underwear?
It's a volcanic Island. Or Sixth House fashion.
XD!
It's hot as a motherfucker in that volcano, my dude
