"Go straight from town X, turn right at the forked hill, when you reach a lamppost take a sharp left and run straight until you find the ashland camp. Easy." Me: How the hell did I end up on the other side of Red Mountain...
The Balmora Mage’s Guild quests were some of the first one’s I did; they were chill and got me to explore past where I felt safe, so they kind of hold a special place in my heart.
I liked Ajira. All the cats, err, Khajit, in Morrowind for that matter including the flirty one. I just hated all the Ashlanders. Probably reason why I never finished the main quest until last year though I played through all the other quest lines a number of times over the years. I'd always stop the main quest after I got cured of that disease forever.
I liked these quests, they might be simple and boring, but after all, you are new to the guild, so obviously she won't task you with anything grand and epic. This is something I always loved about Morrowind, you start as a nobody and slowly work your way up, instead of being named hero in the first hour of gameplay.
ajira's quest line is one of the most coherent pieces of adventure, makes total sense and is perfect for a level 1 noob you probably are when you come to her. and funnily enough, if you are thorough enough chances are you'll get all four mushrooms in seyda neen, they all literally are inside of the town. and if not, then you go to a familiar place anyway.
Yes, Morrowind Escort Quests are bad. but that is mostly because the Original Engine's AI is BAD. its not even the Speed. its the fact they CAN'T Get free if they run into a Rock or a Wall or something. fortunately OpenMW has a "Navmesh Generation" Feature for those who want it. which causes the AI to become, Alot Smarter about their movement decisions. The AI will try to go Around, Above, or Under their Obstacle to get to you. I did a Escort Quest. like the one with that Rude Imperial Idiot. but it wasn't Torture like the Original Engine lol
Morrowind: buy the ceramic bowl Oblivion: steal the ceramic bowl Skyrim: fight a bunch of draugr in a crypt for the ceramic bowl Fallout 76: buy the ceramic bowl DLC for $16
In defense of Ajira: she gives you the amazing quest of planting a fake soul gem, which leads to an easy early phat stack of cash by swiping all of Gelbawhatevers real soul gems.
I liked the quest where you need to get scrap metal. I hadn't discovered any dwarwen ruins at the time either and didn't know you could just buy the metal. So what I did was walk to a bookstore and buy all the books with a dwarwen ruin-y name and read them. One of em talked about there being a dwarwen ruin on the east coast or smthn? Can't remember exactly but there I went and explored till I found the ruin, and luckily there was scrap metal in there. Finding the general location of a dwarwen ruin in a book made me feel so immersed :D! I felt like a real adventurer
Oh yeah, or buggy quests that triggers because you did a specific action but you will never finish them because they're part of a certain faction storyline that you aren't a member of/ quests that trigger with no indications of what you have to do
@@sugoha_2548 I got this cool looking ice sword, then as it turns out it's actually an Imperial Cult quest that is probably meant later on, meanwhile I'm just a newbie in the cult.
The pilgrimage is one the Best quests it tells you so much about the culture of the Tribunal Also the Clay bowl quest was just that the research notes could be spawned for her next quest
@@MrHogGamer getting the other tribes to name you Nerevarine is like 75% into the Main Quest. If he got that far he's no longer missing out on anything more that he could enjoy.
@@luukeksifrozenhillbillyeur3407 I mean, going to confront the Ash Vampires and Dagoth Ur beneath Red Mountain is the best part...that he missed out on.
@@MrHogGamer I love Morrowind and its MQ is by far my favourite of the TES games, but I disagree. At that point it's just busywork and repetitive Dwemer ruins in arguably the most dreadful outdoors area in the game.
Doing the pilgrimage the first time was actually really enjoyable. You got to see so much of Vvardenfell, and learn so much of the lore regarding the Tribunal (and Vivec in particular). Every time since, though, it has been an absolute slog. Kind of a “been there, done that” kinda deal.
Worst quest by far is the fighters guild quest where you are told to go to a cave to the northeast. And the cave is practically due east of the town. My friends and I spent dozens of combined hours in 2004 to find this stupid cave...
You forgot this Fighting Guild quest where you have to find a guar-farmer in the ash-desert area close to Aldruhn. In Vanilla Morrowind (no View mods) i Spent 2 hours finding this dirty guar-lover...
You guys forgot about the quest for the fighters guild were you have to deliver fucking flin. Protector of the Fighters Guild might as well be delivery boy apparently
I kinda love that you have to spend so much time proving yourself as the Nerevarine to be honest. In Skyrim we pretty much kill one dragon that was basically nailed down for us, with a contingent of guards helping, and then suddenly we are summoned by the greybeards and that's pretty much it. The best thing about Morrowind is that we start out effectively pretending to be the Nerevarine for the empire, and even later on when we start having the dreams and a few people start to think we might actually be the one, most people still doubt that we are genuine. In fact, even late in the game when you have high reputation and you've done all the quests to fulfill the prophecies that make you the one, there is still a little ambiguity. I mean are we really Nerevar reborn, or did we just luck out and manage to fulfill all the right requirements? Our hero status is earned through many trials and NPC's opinions of us change slowly as the story progresses. Meanwhile in Skyrim, we instantly become the chosen hero, and yet NPC's will never really acknowledge it. Guards still mouth off to you all the time. It feels more real in Morrowind.
Well said. In Morrowind it is up to you in the end to believe if you really had a destiny or made your own. I also like that in Oblivion you definitely aren't the chosen one ever but you become the hero that allows Martin to fulfill his role and in the meantime people recognize you as the Hero of Kvatch which is good enough for me any day. I'm re-playing Skyrim right now and am up to level 50 and have only seen a dragon in the beginning cutscreen since I refuse to go out and meet the jarl and kill the first dragon which is what "triggers" dragons to suddenly appear in the game. They don't show up until that moment. So, no dragons at all. Much more fun just being a wandering nobody thief and mercenary.
The ceramic bowl quest gets you to leave the guild hall so that when you return it triggers a script to hide the stolen reports - wouldn’t make sense if her reports got stolen mid conversation with you. Just need to get you out of there so that you can imagine there’s time for them to be stolen. I liked her quests as a low stakes way to learn to navigate the game. It’s pretty easy to nab all of the mushrooms before you even leave Seyda Neen on later play throughs if you don’t want to bother, but I like it when role playing an itinerant alchemist. It’s cozy, compared to Oblivion where several dozen people die as part of getting your recommendation.
The ceramic bowl quest serves the purpose of getting you outside of the guildhall so that her reports can get stolen. She doesn't buy it herself because she is under a lot of stress and needs to get her reports done fast. The quest is not bad since you can literally do it in a minute (the shop is right next door) and in the next quest you get to read her smug reports so it is sort of worth it.
Oh boy, I love her reports. One says something like "Ajira study hard, that's why she wrote two big reports and Galbedir only wrote a ridiculous single report!"
Happy holidays my man, you will likely not read this but I went through a period of SEVERE sadness and I used to binge your videos at the time just to keep me going/go to sleep. Love your style of humor Best to you and yours
Morrowind's faction quests low key kind of suck. The end of every guild quest is "Duel your guildmaster in the arena" after doing a bunch of inane errands for them. Most of the quests involve traveling long distances for very little reward, and are the usual "kill, fetch, talk" quest archetypes. You could swap out any MMO quest for a Morrowind faction quest and there would be little difference. What's worse is that every quest has at least 2 or 3 "go kill this guy for slandering us" quests requiring you to use the game's underdeveloped and frustrating speechcraft system to taunt enemies into attacking you. The entire Morag Tong quest line requires you to do this, except half of the time the legal writ that you have won't even matter to guards due to some quest bugs, and so you'll need to bypass automatic dialogue "goodbye" prompts by taking all your clothes off. Let's not even talk about the 27 threads of Mephala, where you have to acquire 27 artifacts spread across a bunch of dungeons. Overall, the game's quest design was only saved by the excellent writing and world development. I'd have checked out if it weren't for the amazing atmosphere.
The ceramic bowl is to get you out of there to load in the stolen papers Personally I like all of these because, despite the fact that they may seem pointless or tedious, it really adds immersion and a feeling of reality to the world
Yeh, bosses send newbies on stupid errands. Not everything has to be meaningful. In fact, it's more realistic that a new employer would give you petty tasks like that than "go do this important thing that I could have asked anyone more qualified to do ages ago". Those fetch jobs do get annoying when they give no directions. Yeah, you'll eventually find what they want in the course of exploring, but remembering where the quest-giver was is often implausible. It's not the quest itself that sucks - it's the lack of direction. Back when you could only see about 5 meters it was so much worse too.
All Morrowind quests is a disaster, like I appreciate the amount of texts like it's a good thing but the old engine of the Morrowind can't handle something more than regular fetch quests, like i played for 20 hours maybe and all quests were to go through all map to grab something and go back, especially when your character cant run and very slow so it's a torture to even travell through the cities like vivec. This game needs fast travel to places where you have already been and zoomable map at least so player could even try to play it.
And you get promotion after collecting 4 mushrooms and 4 flowers xD So powerful wizard you are. Wait, you have even the fucking bowl? Wow impressed out of scale...
Well to be fair, she does state that a wizard must learn to use materials for potions. If this was in real life, I could see this being training for starting wizards.
The ceramic bowl quest exists because it's a trick to get you to leave the area so the reports can spawn with the sensible explanation that they were hidden while you were away.
True. It is pretty fucking lame. :D I hope the next game will be better, but I have this horrible suspicion that it will be even dumber and more condescending.
@@jonathanwells223 A lot of things in Skyrim felt like that. This is why I will always stick with Morrowind, a game that is almost 20 years old, and still has a more interesting storyline and main quest.
@@GrievousReborn I realize you both are joking, but now that the new console is out, I’m predicting within the next two years. Probably within the 1-2 year marks. Not based on any evidence, or Bethesda announcements, but it would be good for business to hop on the train while the console is new to leave a lot of opportunity to buy it. Around Christmas time too. TES VI has had hype since Skyrim released lol
@@boogiel3853 I don't think they were joking either. That's my guess as to the time frame we're looking at, and I think most people see it at this point
The pilgrimage is the reason i never did the Tribunal questline...Especially the shrine in Vivec, i searched ages before i realized that you have to drown yourself in order to find it. Makes perfect sense 🙄
@@sugoha_2548 Lol, i always made them because i thought they are required. Like the recommendations for the arcane university in Oblivion...I didnt even know that you can skip the 4th and 5th trial 🙄
@@truewalter4193 tbh i also gave up on tribunal because i thought it was required too, and after a while a decided to go back to the game and realised it wasn't required at all! So i finished the storyline and it's actually very good, you get to meet almalexia and sotha sil and you go through some pretty cool dwemer ruins (way cooler than any dwemer ruin that you may find on vaardenfel). If you still haven't done it i recommend you give it another go
I always saw Ajira's quests as the stuff you're intended to do immediately that get you introduced to alchemy and ingredients and some of the nearby region for beginners of the game. It's also that you're the newbie and she's not, so she's basically making you run her errands because she can't be bothered. Not the most interesting, but definitely realistic lol. The Ashlander quest is also in a similar-ish boat where it feels more like the game going 'hey, you're gonna go to these places' (and then you can come across more interesting sites in your travels along the way, like various smuggler caves, shrines, tombs, etc.).
The ceramic bowl is just an expedient for you to leave the building, and when you come back Ajira's report has been stolen. I'm sure of it, because even if you already have the bowl you cannot give it to her unless you leave the building first.
The top worst quest is the one where you must buy a slave wife for the ashlander leader! If you dont know what you need ahead of time you have to treck everywhere to get the requires items. Plus you are buying SLAVES!
If you are good friends with Ajira, she will tell you her secrets. You will get some good loot. I strongly disagree what you said about her. I think she is the sweetest kitty 🤗
I don't know which one I like better: Goofy student who needs help cheating to pass exams or charming khajiit waifu from Pelagiad to exchange dear gifts with.
So I might misremember this because I was very young, but when I played Morrowind for the first time I had a very hard time with the ceramic bowl quest. I am convinced that in the german version of the game they messed up with the translation and there is no object called 'ceramic bowl' because they named it something else. Many years later when I replayed the game in english I went to the trader and immediately found the right thing .. I was shook. I always thought it was kind of a: Go get that thing and then you come on back to Ajira with your spirits in the gutter because you didn't find the thing and she would send you to find her stolen report ..because you can progress on that quest without ever getting her the bowl. I thought it was merely a diversion to get you out of the guild quarters so the stolen reports could be 'placed'.
I purchased Morrowind years ago but never played more than 30 minutes. One of your recent Morrowind videos inspired me to start actually playing! I last left the game searching for Ajira's flowers. It's painful how slow my character walks 😅
on the topic of ceramic bowl +: it's to reset the cell so the game can hide her reports for the next real mission. -: it's so unimportant, you even have to remind her about it to cash it in.
I actually love that people don't believe the low-level nobody wandering in their tent, proclaiming to be the prophecised messiah of the Dark Elves. I love that the game takes your fame into account, and if you've explored the world and accomplished things, they're more likely to take you on your word. They don't need you to complete the trials; you've already proven you're not a fraud. I think that's good game design, personally. It's like how Caius Cosades explicitly instructs you to go out, see the world, join a guild, and make a name for yourself before he'll give you the important main story quest. The game tells you to go see the world you'll later be tasked with saving, so it means more, something later Elder Scrolls don't bother with.
If we include quests from the Tamriel Rebuilt mod, then it would be the quest Tamriel Rebuilt. > Walk from the Ebon Tower to a mason in the Old Ebonheart marketplace to get 17 yellows tiles. > Walks all the way back to Ebon Tower. > Whoops! We actually needed red tiles. > Redo the travel from point A to point B and back for red tiles. > Returns to Ebon Tower just to be told they changed their mind about using tiles. > Gets nothing as a reward. > Kills quest-giver for wasting my time.
I don’t like that line where you have to convince everyone that you’re the real Nerevarine; especially I hate the process of finding the stupid bow in the obnoxious cave, but then the guy sends you to the fortress with those scary creatures that look like kind of a Cthulhu, which makes the quest line even worse than it was before. Not only was I scared as hell when I saw them for the first time, but also they were extremely powerful and kicked my ass; I spent so much time accomplishing the fortress... When I did it, I was proud.
Dude, after all that waste of time to become hortator and nerevarine i at least expected the final quest inside the ghostgate to take up a lot of time as well. But then i found myself over prepared and when i finally reached the 2 shrines to retrieve keening and sunder i was absolutely underwhelmed by how easy it was to find them and then walk right out. Dagoth ur was also easy as well as i just pushed him into the lava below! Now i dont understand why i thought this game was hard when you can just buy all your skills and exploit the rich scamp with buying and selling items
Ikr ... I came to red mountain after having finished almost all secondary quest lines, level 50something, stuffed like a tank, expecting the worse. I hit poor Dagoth Ur 4 times with Sunder, and off he goes so that's how you can kill a god ? meh.... then I entered the heart chamber and promptly levitated my way to the Heart and back thankful for many of the quests along the way, but this end was quite anticlimatic after all that buildup maybe I should have slowly ramped up the difficulty settings as time went by .... I still fondly love this game though )
At the expense of buying Dwemer scrap metal-Morrowind encourages you to think about it, there is not one such quest when you can go a different way than the one offered by the questor and this is very cool for me :) remember something similar in Oblivion?
Morrowind became my very favorite game! I really enjoyed all your Oblivion lists. I'm loving the Morrowind content your doing and I hope you keep it up! I also want to wish you a Happy New Life/Saturalia, Cantina!
The first few Balmora mage guild quests suck, but to their credit I think it's intentional. It makes you feel like you're the new guy having to do all the menial tasks. The khajiit is just making you do her work for her. So it ends up feeling all the more rewarding when you're more experienced and getting access to high rank spells and enchantments.
The fourth and fifth trials are the worst though. It's such a run back and forth, fetch this and that slog so close to the end of the game. I always either make sure I meet the requirements to skip it or just cheat to get through it at this point.
It took me 12 tries to escort the slave girl to the tribe leader since she kept disappearing, on the 10th try I found her chasing a cliff racer then getting killed by it, the 11th I killed the cliff racer before she even saw it and she died chasing a slaughter fish, on the 12th Idk what happened she never ran after a mud crab or went swimming with slaughter fish, though she did chase a rat while I was busy with another beast, luckily she killed it before that killed her too, then it glitched where it didn't register she was at the camp. Luckily one reload later and that was fixed
You think the ghostgate escort was bad? Have you tried the escort mission where you have to go all the way from mount assarnabi to ebonheart's argonian's delegation? It's pretty much travelling the ENTIRE MAP FROM NORTH TO SOUTH (atleast that's what it felt like)
Oh yeah you had to take the slave to freedom. I think I "accidentally" lead him into a bad combat situation half way through. At least he got free of Morrowind.
Number one was spot on my dude, that part of the main questline sucks. Thankfully it was around that part that I decided to exploit alchemy and become an ultra fast flying demigod, but not everyone is up to breaking the immersion like I did.
Worst quests by far for me are where you have to be declared the Neravarine and Hortator. Literally the definition of numb, busy work that accomplishes basically nothing.
Ajira also gives you artifact quests if she likes you enough and gets the enchantress lady to walk off and leave her whole desk alone to be looted for a nice haul.
Ok... You my friend dont know what you are talking about. 1. Some escort quest have some hidden ending possibles, for exemple the women with boots of blinding speed, you can actualy learn she is acriminal and kill her, get the boots and some money for the bounty. Even the one you are mentioning you can find some dialogue about that women that advise you indirectly not to help her. 2. The pilgrimmage is a huge part of the lore, is required to do quest for the temple, and it makes SENSE in the context this pilgrimmage is about LIVING GODS, the temple will give you advices to reach theese locations, and without trying to speedrun or anything you can get about 2 min reading and 8/10min going to the différent spots if you organize your trip. 3. Now it gets funny, you argue that our little kitty from mage guild has the worst quests, i will say she has the best ones, first she gives you poor quest early on because you suck. Second and thats more important she will after you get some rank lead you to few of the most OP artifact in the game. Ring staff etc... Third, she advise you not to help the leader of Balmora's guild because she is corrupted and instead ask you to go the Ald'run. 4. From the footage you show i guess you went to the only location without any real scrap metal (can still have some random), because its the main quest dwemer ruin of the cube. Again if you ask around you can get info like alchemists sells some, so you can probably steal it... Aengoth also lead you to pretty good items if you like to read. 5. This one hurts me XD The quest you talking about is slow, that's undeniable. But seriously, you are completing an ancient prophecy about the reincarnation of an ancient Dunmer Hero, wich btw is writen on books you find everywhere even without actualy doing the main quest (xept a few that are banned by the Temple(wich you can gain access by advancing in rank in temple)), alsoalot of theese quest are neat, even an escort quest (funny right) that brings you to clear an island from both temple and deadra so the camp can establish there. It will also get you very nice items including a great stealth bow, you will learn more aboutthe 6th house and you will even murder in cold blood some of the fuckers. Come on this is great writing and make you discover places you would not have gone to. Bis: The travel system is very complete if you take the time to learn it (i remember the first time i draw a horrible map with the links of the transports) and you rly dont take that much time anymore, especialy if you make use of Spells (Mark, Recall, Divine and Almsivi intervention). To be fair with you the game is very dark the first time and wont take you by the hand. But it realy is deep and most of the peoples that can pass the first 5/10 hours love it. From who i ask anyway. With few exeption most of the indication on journal or from the peoples are clear, or make you discover great places, i remember going to an island in the north and finding THE CUP while looking for something tottaly different and loving it, ah ah. Im nitpicking tho, you entertain well keep doing vids, but go deeper and be less lazy =P
I assumed Ajira's quests were basically a tutorial for different systems in the game. Finding Alchemy ingrediants, different kinds of shops for specific things, dynamically appearing quest objectives, Soul gems, stealing from NPCs, NPCs that can have routines interrupted... But for some reason it never really got that message across well.
This video is hilarious lol The pilgrimage “quest” is about teaching you all the shrines and their locations. Hate running around vivec? Now you know where to find an HOUR long levitation spell. Carrying a lot of gear early game? Drop some muck at the fields of kummu for an easy 100 pt feather for, again, one HOUR. If this isn’t considered a reward, and you need the “quest giver” to hand you gold every time you do something, idk why you are playing an rpg haha
I found that you can create a spell to make escort quests much less painful. Just a touch spell that boosts speed 100 points for 30 seconds or so. Just make sure they're still following you ever so often and recast when necessary. It trivializes the escort quests. The only problem is that you really won't have the magicka to cast this until you're a higher level, but there are ways around this, such as level-up exploits. I can easily be level 80 or so before I do any real quests - just get a spell effect that drains skills, make a spell that drains one of your major or minor skills on yourself for 100 points for one second, find a trainer who trains that skill, cast the spell and immediately speak with the the trainer. The skill is now considered at 0, so it will only cost 1 gold to train it. Repeat as much as you want. Every ten skill increases, you level up. Also, I personally think that the lack of quest markers in Morrowind is enjoyable. I like that I can stumble across caves and dungeons while wandering Morrowind's ashlands or plains looking for my actual objective. Though, after nearly 21,000 hours at this point, there's not much left to discover. Ajiira is also a bit deceptive. Sure, her quests are a bit boring, but if you return to her when you're a considerably higher rank int he Mages' Guild, she'll tell you the location of two powerful artifacts.
I actually really don’t mind the early quests in Morrowind for the guilds because they really feel like things you would have an initiate with no experience do. A lot of the game’s pacing is like that where you start out and it doesn’t seem like anything’s going on until you progress through the quests and uncover things.
One thing most of these quests have in common is that they do a really good job of revealing the character of the quest givers and making the world feel more "lived in." The life of a mage turns out to be filled with busywork and petty office squabbling rather than adventure (which, fair enough, it probably would be), you're meant to think the pilgrim lady is a stuck-up bitch, and the Urshilaku are WAY more into the Nerevarine prophecies than the other tribes, who believe in them only in the sense that they want someone to solve their problems for them. But they are not fun for the player if they're interested in, y'know, gameplay. Morrowind truly is the lorebeard's Elder Scrolls game. Good combat? Quality of life tweaks? Who needs 'em? We got ＷＯＲＬＤＢＵＩＬＤＩＮＧ. How I love this weird-ass game.
5, Balmora Pillow Quest. Must complete early before egg poachers. 4, Kill the spriggans in raven rock. In correct order they spawn in. 3. Finding ingredients to cure lycanthropy on solsteim. Good luck. 2. Vow of silence. On Foot, with no spells. 1. Finding the East Empire Leader in like an hour and he traps a rug beforehand.
Also, i love that the mages guild treats you like a dumb errand runner, and then one day you exceed them all. I wish Skyrim or Oblivion had done more of that. Although, magiv would have to be actually fleshed out for that to work, and Bethesda has sucked at it since Morrowind, so...
Gonna be honest, and it’s definitely a biased opinion, but I love every quest and every little bit of Morrowind so wholeheartedly lmao. Even the ceramic bowl mission haha
theres one exception regarding escort missions in morrowind, which is the Itermerel's escort mission, the guy is more powerful that you and can even kill db assassins with a few hits with his shock-target-area spell, but he becomes useless when he runs out of magicka
My personal least favorite quests: 5. Lord’s Mail(imperial legion) - this series of quests was made by Hodd Toward himself, you get a magic sword from a witch and a chest piece from a dude who got fired and is literally named Furius, only for the MAIN QUEST NPC to turn around and challenge you to combat in the Arena after you get him fancy artifacts. 4. Daedric Cresent(Tel Fyr) - Divayth Fyr is a weird guy, he lets you loot his artifacts if you can open the chests they’re in, whatever, dude is thousands of years old and in full Daedric. You find an amulet that teleports you to a fight with a Dremora who has the Crescent. THIS THING PARALYZES AND BREAKS ARMOR. It does 20-50 dmg consistently. Super hard, but incredibly short quest for arguably the best 2handed weapon in the game. Idk how many times I would attempt this fight with a lvl~40 character and get two shot by this thing. 3. Being declared Neraverine by the Ashlander tribes - sucks, ya gotta do it, but you start to get a ton of enchanted items, guess what, there’s an escort quest too. 2. Wraithguard but bad - you decide to kill vivec, don’t blame you, you go to Tel Fyr, talk to the only living dwarf in the Corpusarium, he needs some books that a bunch of vampires and Daedra are defending so that he can make you Wraithguard and you can still destroy the Heart of Lorkhan. You get it, return to Yagrum and you have to lose 200-225 health, permanently, all because Bethesda coded this quest incorrectly, it was supposed to be a “check” that you had at least ~200 Heath otherwise Wraithguard kills you. 1. Any quest involving Mournhold’s Sewers...
I loved the ashlander quest, but then again I was a magic boy the last time I played Morrowind, so I just kinda... superspeeded my way to all the camps
Oh also I love and hate firemoth, because it's super easy until you open a door to 50 skeletons and a necromancer that can't help but slam you as soon as you open the door like the world's worst orgy
So the plus side to Ajira's quests is her disposition goes to max and she's great for training, selling moon sugar, or selling ingredients/potions early game. What I've been hating on my most recent playthrough is the Ranis Athrys quests which take longer, are more difficult, and still somehow pay less (if at all).
i have a terrible sense of direction so that trip to ghostgate terrified me and when i finished the quest, i killed her, took all of her clothes and money
"Go straight from town X, turn right at the forked hill, when you reach a lamppost take a sharp left and run straight until you find the ashland camp. Easy."
Me: How the hell did I end up on the other side of Red Mountain...
And then trick yourself into doing again when you decide you want a fresh start in the game
@@captain_jeknan2741 wait, how did you know?
Most of the Morrowind NPC’s are worth more dead than alive.
Yeah just look at the falling wizard guy
There is a mage with a necklace that lets you recharge health with a chance to absorb magicka on hit , it was super broken but fun
Yep. Taunting for gear is a time honored tradition.
The Balmora Mage’s Guild quests were some of the first one’s I did; they were chill and got me to explore past where I felt safe, so they kind of hold a special place in my heart.
Honestly they felt like the real tutorial in the game because they basically tell you to "go outside and find shit" which is 70% of the game
I liked Ajira. All the cats, err, Khajit, in Morrowind for that matter including the flirty one. I just hated all the Ashlanders. Probably reason why I never finished the main quest until last year though I played through all the other quest lines a number of times over the years. I'd always stop the main quest after I got cured of that disease forever.
I liked these quests, they might be simple and boring, but after all, you are new to the guild, so obviously she won't task you with anything grand and epic. This is something I always loved about Morrowind, you start as a nobody and slowly work your way up, instead of being named hero in the first hour of gameplay.
ajira's quest line is one of the most coherent pieces of adventure, makes total sense and is perfect for a level 1 noob you probably are when you come to her. and funnily enough, if you are thorough enough chances are you'll get all four mushrooms in seyda neen, they all literally are inside of the town. and if not, then you go to a familiar place anyway.
Elder scrolls fans: “ these quests fucking suck dude “
Cantina: “ that’s content “
Haha
Yes, Morrowind Escort Quests are bad. but that is mostly because the Original Engine's AI is BAD. its not even the Speed. its the fact they CAN'T Get free if they run into a Rock or a Wall or something. fortunately OpenMW has a "Navmesh Generation" Feature for those who want it. which causes the AI to become, Alot Smarter about their movement decisions.

I liked the quest where you need to get scrap metal. I hadn't discovered any dwarwen ruins at the time either and didn't know you could just buy the metal. So what I did was walk to a bookstore and buy all the books with a dwarwen ruin-y name and read them. One of em talked about there being a dwarwen ruin on the east coast or smthn? Can't remember exactly but there I went and explored till I found the ruin, and luckily there was scrap metal in there. Finding the general location of a dwarwen ruin in a book made me feel so immersed :D! I felt like a real adventurer
Woa! great one!
When I read such stories I'm always like: "Goddamn, I want to have all my knowledge of Morrowind erased and start it all anew!"
Cool! I wish I had this level of gaming innocence now, when I know Morrowind by heart and the rest is googlable
I've done that Ghost Gate escort quest twice in my life, and commited frustration murder at the end both times.
The only time I did it, she got killed by an ash ghoul right after arriving. Felt good.
What I hate about Morrowind are the finished quests on the journal that don't go away
Oh yeah, or buggy quests that triggers because you did a specific action but you will never finish them because they're part of a certain faction storyline that you aren't a member of/ quests that trigger with no indications of what you have to do
@@sugoha_2548 I got this cool looking ice sword, then as it turns out it's actually an Imperial Cult quest that is probably meant later on, meanwhile I'm just a newbie in the cult.
The pilgrimage is one the Best quests it tells you so much about the culture of the Tribunal
Also the Clay bowl quest was just that the research notes could be spawned for her next quest
Agree, I was shocked he said the 7 pilgrimages are bad quests, that is literally one of the coolest quests in the entire game ahaha
The pilgrimage quest fucking sucks
I actually did the mage's guild quest knowing all the items I needed, and at the point where I gave her the bowl, the scrolls spawned in just fine
I'm just loving these multiple cantina uploads 😂
I killed the girl who wanted to go to ghost gate. Why? She has 600 gold on her
maybe she's so annoying so you actually rob her xD
That "go meet the tribes" quest is the reason I've never finished Morrowind.
You're missing out on a great game.
@@MrHogGamer getting the other tribes to name you Nerevarine is like 75% into the Main Quest. If he got that far he's no longer missing out on anything more that he could enjoy.
@@MrHogGamer There are many great games, so 1 missed won't hurt.
@@luukeksifrozenhillbillyeur3407 I mean, going to confront the Ash Vampires and Dagoth Ur beneath Red Mountain is the best part...that he missed out on.
@@MrHogGamer I love Morrowind and its MQ is by far my favourite of the TES games, but I disagree. At that point it's just busywork and repetitive Dwemer ruins in arguably the most dreadful outdoors area in the game.
Doing the pilgrimage the first time was actually really enjoyable. You got to see so much of Vvardenfell, and learn so much of the lore regarding the Tribunal (and Vivec in particular). Every time since, though, it has been an absolute slog. Kind of a “been there, done that” kinda deal.
Yes, also going to the other side of the ghost fence for the first time was scary as hell with a low level character.
Worst quest by far is the fighters guild quest where you are told to go to a cave to the northeast. And the cave is practically due east of the town. My friends and I spent dozens of combined hours in 2004 to find this stupid cave...
You forgot this Fighting Guild quest where you have to find a guar-farmer in the ash-desert area close to Aldruhn.
In Vanilla Morrowind (no View mods) i Spent 2 hours finding this dirty guar-lover...
You guys forgot about the quest for the fighters guild were you have to deliver fucking flin.
Protector of the Fighters Guild might as well be delivery boy apparently
I kinda love that you have to spend so much time proving yourself as the Nerevarine to be honest. In Skyrim we pretty much kill one dragon that was basically nailed down for us, with a contingent of guards helping, and then suddenly we are summoned by the greybeards and that's pretty much it. The best thing about Morrowind is that we start out effectively pretending to be the Nerevarine for the empire, and even later on when we start having the dreams and a few people start to think we might actually be the one, most people still doubt that we are genuine. In fact, even late in the game when you have high reputation and you've done all the quests to fulfill the prophecies that make you the one, there is still a little ambiguity. I mean are we really Nerevar reborn, or did we just luck out and manage to fulfill all the right requirements? Our hero status is earned through many trials and NPC's opinions of us change slowly as the story progresses. Meanwhile in Skyrim, we instantly become the chosen hero, and yet NPC's will never really acknowledge it. Guards still mouth off to you all the time. It feels more real in Morrowind.
Well said. In Morrowind it is up to you in the end to believe if you really had a destiny or made your own. I also like that in Oblivion you definitely aren't the chosen one ever but you become the hero that allows Martin to fulfill his role and in the meantime people recognize you as the Hero of Kvatch which is good enough for me any day. I'm re-playing Skyrim right now and am up to level 50 and have only seen a dragon in the beginning cutscreen since I refuse to go out and meet the jarl and kill the first dragon which is what "triggers" dragons to suddenly appear in the game. They don't show up until that moment. So, no dragons at all. Much more fun just being a wandering nobody thief and mercenary.
Yeah but it's Boring asf. Realism is one thing but if it slows the pace of the game and makes it boring than it's doing something wrong.
The ceramic bowl quest gets you to leave the guild hall so that when you return it triggers a script to hide the stolen reports - wouldn’t make sense if her reports got stolen mid conversation with you. Just need to get you out of there so that you can imagine there’s time for them to be stolen.
I liked her quests as a low stakes way to learn to navigate the game. It’s pretty easy to nab all of the mushrooms before you even leave Seyda Neen on later play throughs if you don’t want to bother, but I like it when role playing an itinerant alchemist. It’s cozy, compared to Oblivion where several dozen people die as part of getting your recommendation.
The ceramic bowl quest serves the purpose of getting you outside of the guildhall so that her reports can get stolen. She doesn't buy it herself because she is under a lot of stress and needs to get her reports done fast. The quest is not bad since you can literally do it in a minute (the shop is right next door) and in the next quest you get to read her smug reports so it is sort of worth it.
Oh boy, I love her reports. One says something like "Ajira study hard, that's why she wrote two big reports and Galbedir only wrote a ridiculous single report!"
Happy holidays my man, you will likely not read this but I went through a period of SEVERE sadness and I used to binge your videos at the time just to keep me going/go to sleep. Love your style of humor
Best to you and yours
Morrowind's faction quests low key kind of suck. The end of every guild quest is "Duel your guildmaster in the arena" after doing a bunch of inane errands for them. Most of the quests involve traveling long distances for very little reward, and are the usual "kill, fetch, talk" quest archetypes. You could swap out any MMO quest for a Morrowind faction quest and there would be little difference. What's worse is that every quest has at least 2 or 3 "go kill this guy for slandering us" quests requiring you to use the game's underdeveloped and frustrating speechcraft system to taunt enemies into attacking you. The entire Morag Tong quest line requires you to do this, except half of the time the legal writ that you have won't even matter to guards due to some quest bugs, and so you'll need to bypass automatic dialogue "goodbye" prompts by taking all your clothes off. Let's not even talk about the 27 threads of Mephala, where you have to acquire 27 artifacts spread across a bunch of dungeons. Overall, the game's quest design was only saved by the excellent writing and world development. I'd have checked out if it weren't for the amazing atmosphere.
Kinda disagree. Thing is, the fetch quests do help in establishing a believable setting. They are good World building, actually.
"It's *mandatory*"
The worst thing to hear knowing a quest is bad.
Also a ProZD reference of sorts
ProZD is awesome lol
Pilgrimage for the temple was great. Change my mind
The ceramic bowl is to get you out of there to load in the stolen papers
Personally I like all of these because, despite the fact that they may seem pointless or tedious, it really adds immersion and a feeling of reality to the world
Yeh, bosses send newbies on stupid errands. Not everything has to be meaningful. In fact, it's more realistic that a new employer would give you petty tasks like that than "go do this important thing that I could have asked anyone more qualified to do ages ago". Those fetch jobs do get annoying when they give no directions. Yeah, you'll eventually find what they want in the course of exploring, but remembering where the quest-giver was is often implausible. It's not the quest itself that sucks - it's the lack of direction. Back when you could only see about 5 meters it was so much worse too.
Love you cantina! Merry Christmas man
All Morrowind quests is a disaster, like I appreciate the amount of texts like it's a good thing but the old engine of the Morrowind can't handle something more than regular fetch quests, like i played for 20 hours maybe and all quests were to go through all map to grab something and go back, especially when your character cant run and very slow so it's a torture to even travell through the cities like vivec. This game needs fast travel to places where you have already been and zoomable map at least so player could even try to play it.
At least the telvanni are honest with what they're starting quests are. Chores
The Redoran are pretty straightforward too. You're a soldier, go kill things your superiors order you to kill.

Very happy to see u back, and making videos very consistently now!
The ceramic bowl quest exists because it's a trick to get you to leave the area so the reports can spawn with the sensible explanation that they were hidden while you were away.
tbh I always started to collect Flowers and Mushrooms around Seyda Neen, so I can finish Ajiras Quests right away.
Little known fact: Nazeem has a Breton ancestry that can be traced back to Viatrix Petilia
That would be Imperials. It's Imperials who have such Latin names.
The Worst Quest In Skyrim Would Be An Easy Answer: The Main One

Actually, it's all of them.
No, all the college of Winterhold quests were the absolute worst things ever. Also the entire dawnguard storyline felt tacked on and half done.
True. It is pretty fucking lame. :D
I hope the next game will be better, but I have this horrible suspicion that it will be even dumber and more condescending.
@@jonathanwells223 A lot of things in Skyrim felt like that.

@@boogiel3853 I don't think they were joking either. That's my guess as to the time frame we're looking at, and I think most people see it at this point
The pilgrimage is the reason i never did the Tribunal questline...Especially the shrine in Vivec, i searched ages before i realized that you have to drown yourself in order to find it. Makes perfect sense 🙄
But the pilgrimmage isn't even required for the tribunal questline...
@@sugoha_2548 Lol, i always made them because i thought they are required. Like the recommendations for the arcane university in Oblivion...I didnt even know that you can skip the 4th and 5th trial 🙄
@@truewalter4193 tbh i also gave up on tribunal because i thought it was required too, and after a while a decided to go back to the game and realised it wasn't required at all! So i finished the storyline and it's actually very good, you get to meet almalexia and sotha sil and you go through some pretty cool dwemer ruins (way cooler than any dwemer ruin that you may find on vaardenfel). If you still haven't done it i recommend you give it another go
I always saw Ajira's quests as the stuff you're intended to do immediately that get you introduced to alchemy and ingredients and some of the nearby region for beginners of the game. It's also that you're the newbie and she's not, so she's basically making you run her errands because she can't be bothered. Not the most interesting, but definitely realistic lol.
The Ashlander quest is also in a similar-ish boat where it feels more like the game going 'hey, you're gonna go to these places' (and then you can come across more interesting sites in your travels along the way, like various smuggler caves, shrines, tombs, etc.).
The ceramic bowl is just an expedient for you to leave the building, and when you come back Ajira's report has been stolen. I'm sure of it, because even if you already have the bowl you cannot give it to her unless you leave the building first.
Thats actually a good point.
The top worst quest is the one where you must buy a slave wife for the ashlander leader! If you dont know what you need ahead of time you have to treck everywhere to get the requires items. Plus you are buying SLAVES!
At least you're freeing her and giving her a better life as ashkhan's wife, so that's pretty wholesome.
If you are good friends with Ajira, she will tell you her secrets. You will get some good loot. I strongly disagree what you said about her. I think she is the sweetest kitty 🤗
She's a cool cat
I don't know which one I like better: Goofy student who needs help cheating to pass exams or charming khajiit waifu from Pelagiad to exchange dear gifts with.
So I might misremember this because I was very young, but when I played Morrowind for the first time I had a very hard time with the ceramic bowl quest. I am convinced that in the german version of the game they messed up with the translation and there is no object called 'ceramic bowl' because they named it something else. Many years later when I replayed the game in english I went to the trader and immediately found the right thing .. I was shook. I always thought it was kind of a: Go get that thing and then you come on back to Ajira with your spirits in the gutter because you didn't find the thing and she would send you to find her stolen report ..because you can progress on that quest without ever getting her the bowl. I thought it was merely a diversion to get you out of the guild quarters so the stolen reports could be 'placed'.
I purchased Morrowind years ago but never played more than 30 minutes. One of your recent Morrowind videos inspired me to start actually playing! I last left the game searching for Ajira's flowers. It's painful how slow my character walks 😅
on the topic of ceramic bowl
+: it's to reset the cell so the game can hide her reports for the next real mission.
-: it's so unimportant, you even have to remind her about it to cash it in.
I actually love that people don't believe the low-level nobody wandering in their tent, proclaiming to be the prophecised messiah of the Dark Elves. I love that the game takes your fame into account, and if you've explored the world and accomplished things, they're more likely to take you on your word. They don't need you to complete the trials; you've already proven you're not a fraud. I think that's good game design, personally.
It's like how Caius Cosades explicitly instructs you to go out, see the world, join a guild, and make a name for yourself before he'll give you the important main story quest. The game tells you to go see the world you'll later be tasked with saving, so it means more, something later Elder Scrolls don't bother with.
If we include quests from the Tamriel Rebuilt mod, then it would be the quest Tamriel Rebuilt.
> Walk from the Ebon Tower to a mason in the Old Ebonheart marketplace to get 17 yellows tiles.
> Walks all the way back to Ebon Tower.
> Whoops! We actually needed red tiles.
> Redo the travel from point A to point B and back for red tiles.
> Returns to Ebon Tower just to be told they changed their mind about using tiles.
> Gets nothing as a reward.
> Kills quest-giver for wasting my time.
I don’t like that line where you have to convince everyone that you’re the real Nerevarine; especially I hate the process of finding the stupid bow in the obnoxious cave, but then the guy sends you to the fortress with those scary creatures that look like kind of a Cthulhu, which makes the quest line even worse than it was before. Not only was I scared as hell when I saw them for the first time, but also they were extremely powerful and kicked my ass; I spent so much time accomplishing the fortress... When I did it, I was proud.
whaaat the pilgrimage of the seven graces is amazing. The reward is the journey itself but also rank progression
Dude, after all that waste of time to become hortator and nerevarine i at least expected the final quest inside the ghostgate to take up a lot of time as well. But then i found myself over prepared and when i finally reached the 2 shrines to retrieve keening and sunder i was absolutely underwhelmed by how easy it was to find them and then walk right out. Dagoth ur was also easy as well as i just pushed him into the lava below! Now i dont understand why i thought this game was hard when you can just buy all your skills and exploit the rich scamp with buying and selling items
One of my top priorities in a new play through is to kill the scamp so I am not tempted.
Ikr ... I came to red mountain after having finished almost all secondary quest lines, level 50something, stuffed like a tank, expecting the worse.
I hit poor Dagoth Ur 4 times with Sunder, and off he goes
so that's how you can kill a god ? meh....
then I entered the heart chamber and promptly levitated my way to the Heart and back
thankful for many of the quests along the way, but this end was quite anticlimatic after all that buildup
maybe I should have slowly ramped up the difficulty settings as time went by ....
I still fondly love this game though )
At the expense of buying Dwemer scrap metal-Morrowind encourages you to think about it, there is not one such quest when you can go a different way than the one offered by the questor and this is very cool for me :) remember something similar in Oblivion?
The perfect Christmas Gift
Happy Holidays everyone!!
Ah yes, behold the great “Nehravarihn,” a man destined to unite Morrowind.
Yeah as a kid I had the patience to actually read and follow directions. Not it's where's the fast travel.
Morrowind became my very favorite game! I really enjoyed all your Oblivion lists. I'm loving the Morrowind content your doing and I hope you keep it up!
I also want to wish you a Happy New Life/Saturalia, Cantina!
The first few Balmora mage guild quests suck, but to their credit I think it's intentional. It makes you feel like you're the new guy having to do all the menial tasks. The khajiit is just making you do her work for her. So it ends up feeling all the more rewarding when you're more experienced and getting access to high rank spells and enchantments.
The fourth and fifth trials are the worst though. It's such a run back and forth, fetch this and that slog so close to the end of the game. I always either make sure I meet the requirements to skip it or just cheat to get through it at this point.
Well shit that was funny, well done lad!
Thanks dude
It took me 12 tries to escort the slave girl to the tribe leader since she kept disappearing, on the 10th try I found her chasing a cliff racer then getting killed by it, the 11th I killed the cliff racer before she even saw it and she died chasing a slaughter fish, on the 12th Idk what happened she never ran after a mud crab or went swimming with slaughter fish, though she did chase a rat while I was busy with another beast, luckily she killed it before that killed her too, then it glitched where it didn't register she was at the camp. Luckily one reload later and that was fixed
The quest near Caldera between the two orcs playing hide and seek, probably the worst quest I've played in morrowind.
Lol yeah, is it the quest that you get a diamond at the end? It was painful
@@sugoha_2548 the very same lol
You think the ghostgate escort was bad? Have you tried the escort mission where you have to go all the way from mount assarnabi to ebonheart's argonian's delegation? It's pretty much travelling the ENTIRE MAP FROM NORTH TO SOUTH (atleast that's what it felt like)
Oof that sounds pretty horrible.
Oh yeah you had to take the slave to freedom. I think I "accidentally" lead him into a bad combat situation half way through. At least he got free of Morrowind.
I always loved buying the bowl, you buy the bowl, and you get mad respect B-)
Number one was spot on my dude, that part of the main questline sucks. Thankfully it was around that part that I decided to exploit alchemy and become an ultra fast flying demigod, but not everyone is up to breaking the immersion like I did.
Worst quests by far for me are where you have to be declared the Neravarine and Hortator. Literally the definition of numb, busy work that accomplishes basically nothing.
There's a fun alternative way to do Telvanni Hortator quests: Just kill all Telvani masters, and you'll automatically become the Hortator. XD
Ajira also gives you artifact quests if she likes you enough and gets the enchantress lady to walk off and leave her whole desk alone to be looted for a nice haul.
Ok... You my friend dont know what you are talking about.
1. Some escort quest have some hidden ending possibles, for exemple the women with boots of blinding speed, you can actualy learn she is acriminal and kill her, get the boots and some money for the bounty. Even the one you are mentioning you can find some dialogue about that women that advise you indirectly not to help her.
2. The pilgrimmage is a huge part of the lore, is required to do quest for the temple, and it makes SENSE in the context this pilgrimmage is about LIVING GODS, the temple will give you advices to reach theese locations, and without trying to speedrun or anything you can get about 2 min reading and 8/10min going to the différent spots if you organize your trip.
3. Now it gets funny, you argue that our little kitty from mage guild has the worst quests, i will say she has the best ones, first she gives you poor quest early on because you suck. Second and thats more important she will after you get some rank lead you to few of the most OP artifact in the game. Ring staff etc... Third, she advise you not to help the leader of Balmora's guild because she is corrupted and instead ask you to go the Ald'run.
4. From the footage you show i guess you went to the only location without any real scrap metal (can still have some random), because its the main quest dwemer ruin of the cube. Again if you ask around you can get info like alchemists sells some, so you can probably steal it... Aengoth also lead you to pretty good items if you like to read.
5. This one hurts me XD The quest you talking about is slow, that's undeniable. But seriously, you are completing an ancient prophecy about the reincarnation of an ancient Dunmer Hero, wich btw is writen on books you find everywhere even without actualy doing the main quest (xept a few that are banned by the Temple(wich you can gain access by advancing in rank in temple)), alsoalot of theese quest are neat, even an escort quest (funny right) that brings you to clear an island from both temple and deadra so the camp can establish there. It will also get you very nice items including a great stealth bow, you will learn more aboutthe 6th house and you will even murder in cold blood some of the fuckers. Come on this is great writing and make you discover places you would not have gone to.
Bis: The travel system is very complete if you take the time to learn it (i remember the first time i draw a horrible map with the links of the transports) and you rly dont take that much time anymore, especialy if you make use of Spells (Mark, Recall, Divine and Almsivi intervention).
To be fair with you the game is very dark the first time and wont take you by the hand. But it realy is deep and most of the peoples that can pass the first 5/10 hours love it. From who i ask anyway.
With few exeption most of the indication on journal or from the peoples are clear, or make you discover great places, i remember going to an island in the north and finding THE CUP while looking for something tottaly different and loving it, ah ah.
Im nitpicking tho, you entertain well keep doing vids, but go deeper and be less lazy =P
No way - all these pilgrimage quests are great and are immensely helpful in terms of worldbuilding!
I assumed Ajira's quests were basically a tutorial for different systems in the game. Finding Alchemy ingrediants, different kinds of shops for specific things, dynamically appearing quest objectives, Soul gems, stealing from NPCs, NPCs that can have routines interrupted... But for some reason it never really got that message across well.
This video is hilarious lol
The pilgrimage “quest” is about teaching you all the shrines and their locations.
Hate running around vivec? Now you know where to find an HOUR long levitation spell.
Carrying a lot of gear early game? Drop some muck at the fields of kummu for an easy 100 pt feather for, again, one HOUR.
If this isn’t considered a reward, and you need the “quest giver” to hand you gold every time you do something, idk why you are playing an rpg haha
The ceramic bowl can be got right next to the dark elf at the entrance... it doesn’t even aggro the others, it’s just free.
I've missed you so much. I never get your videos on my feed anymore. Your super entertaining, and enjoyable
I found that you can create a spell to make escort quests much less painful. Just a touch spell that boosts speed 100 points for 30 seconds or so. Just make sure they're still following you ever so often and recast when necessary. It trivializes the escort quests. The only problem is that you really won't have the magicka to cast this until you're a higher level, but there are ways around this, such as level-up exploits. I can easily be level 80 or so before I do any real quests - just get a spell effect that drains skills, make a spell that drains one of your major or minor skills on yourself for 100 points for one second, find a trainer who trains that skill, cast the spell and immediately speak with the the trainer. The skill is now considered at 0, so it will only cost 1 gold to train it. Repeat as much as you want. Every ten skill increases, you level up.
Also, I personally think that the lack of quest markers in Morrowind is enjoyable. I like that I can stumble across caves and dungeons while wandering Morrowind's ashlands or plains looking for my actual objective. Though, after nearly 21,000 hours at this point, there's not much left to discover.
Ajiira is also a bit deceptive. Sure, her quests are a bit boring, but if you return to her when you're a considerably higher rank int he Mages' Guild, she'll tell you the location of two powerful artifacts.
awesome, merry christmas my dude
I actually really don’t mind the early quests in Morrowind for the guilds because they really feel like things you would have an initiate with no experience do. A lot of the game’s pacing is like that where you start out and it doesn’t seem like anything’s going on until you progress through the quests and uncover things.
Merry Christmas Cantina
Merry Christmas
Damn I forgot what vanilla Morrowind looks like......
This gives me flashbacks of the Aid for Bruma quest from Oblivion... The worst quest ever
One thing most of these quests have in common is that they do a really good job of revealing the character of the quest givers and making the world feel more "lived in." The life of a mage turns out to be filled with busywork and petty office squabbling rather than adventure (which, fair enough, it probably would be), you're meant to think the pilgrim lady is a stuck-up bitch, and the Urshilaku are WAY more into the Nerevarine prophecies than the other tribes, who believe in them only in the sense that they want someone to solve their problems for them. But they are not fun for the player if they're interested in, y'know, gameplay.
Morrowind truly is the lorebeard's Elder Scrolls game. Good combat? Quality of life tweaks? Who needs 'em? We got ＷＯＲＬＤＢＵＩＬＤＩＮＧ.
How I love this weird-ass game.
House Telvanni > Mages Guild
House Telvanni > literally anything
5, Balmora Pillow Quest. Must complete early before egg poachers.
4, Kill the spriggans in raven rock. In correct order they spawn in.
3. Finding ingredients to cure lycanthropy on solsteim. Good luck.
2. Vow of silence. On Foot, with no spells.
1. Finding the East Empire Leader in like an hour and he traps a rug beforehand.
I loved the pilgrimages! I'm so disappiinted that you didn't like them, lol.
Also, i love that the mages guild treats you like a dumb errand runner, and then one day you exceed them all. I wish Skyrim or Oblivion had done more of that. Although, magiv would have to be actually fleshed out for that to work, and Bethesda has sucked at it since Morrowind, so...
Gonna be honest, and it’s definitely a biased opinion, but I love every quest and every little bit of Morrowind so wholeheartedly lmao. Even the ceramic bowl mission haha
Just what I wanted for christmas-- a fresh Cantina video!
theres one exception regarding escort missions in morrowind, which is the Itermerel's escort mission, the guy is more powerful that you and can even kill db assassins with a few hits with his shock-target-area spell, but he becomes useless when he runs out of magicka
ceramic bowl quest is just to ensure that the mages guild cell can reset to place those lost documents,
It's a really clever solution, tbh.
Cantina your videos are amazing and seems like working on your humor a lot and is amazing! keep up with the amazing work
One of the good Questlines: The Ahnassi Questline! You can find her in the Pelagiath Inn. Give it a try ;)
Ah yes the flirty kitty. Well unless it is a female you are playing. But play a male and she will "share a" ... well most anything with you.
Yeah, this Khajiit is with no doubt the most loved character in the game😂 2. Place is Uncle Crassius of course 😉
Bro I love your content 💚
Thanks bro
My personal least favorite quests:
5. Lord’s Mail(imperial legion)
- this series of quests was made by Hodd Toward himself, you get a magic sword from a witch and a chest piece from a dude who got fired and is literally named Furius, only for the MAIN QUEST NPC to turn around and challenge you to combat in the Arena after you get him fancy artifacts.
4. Daedric Cresent(Tel Fyr)
- Divayth Fyr is a weird guy, he lets you loot his artifacts if you can open the chests they’re in, whatever, dude is thousands of years old and in full Daedric. You find an amulet that teleports you to a fight with a Dremora who has the Crescent. THIS THING PARALYZES AND BREAKS ARMOR. It does 20-50 dmg consistently. Super hard, but incredibly short quest for arguably the best 2handed weapon in the game. Idk how many times I would attempt this fight with a lvl~40 character and get two shot by this thing.
3. Being declared Neraverine by the Ashlander tribes
- sucks, ya gotta do it, but you start to get a ton of enchanted items, guess what, there’s an escort quest too.
2. Wraithguard but bad
- you decide to kill vivec, don’t blame you, you go to Tel Fyr, talk to the only living dwarf in the Corpusarium, he needs some books that a bunch of vampires and Daedra are defending so that he can make you Wraithguard and you can still destroy the Heart of Lorkhan. You get it, return to Yagrum and you have to lose 200-225 health, permanently, all because Bethesda coded this quest incorrectly, it was supposed to be a “check” that you had at least ~200 Heath otherwise Wraithguard kills you.
1. Any quest involving Mournhold’s Sewers...
I loved the ashlander quest, but then again I was a magic boy the last time I played Morrowind, so I just kinda... superspeeded my way to all the camps
5:01 What is the Oblivion quest he is mentioning there? (I probably know it, I just can't quite make out the words he is saying).
"Aid for Bruma"
Morrowind - every time you mention it, someone re-installs replays it. (c)
The... "Nare-ah-VARE-in?"
You mean the "NARE-eh-ver-een?"
!!!!!!
Oh also I love and hate firemoth, because it's super easy until you open a door to 50 skeletons and a necromancer that can't help but slam you as soon as you open the door like the world's worst orgy
Yay! More Morrowind content! ~Keep up the good work and happy holidays ^-^

Merry Christmas cantina!
So the plus side to Ajira's quests is her disposition goes to max and she's great for training, selling moon sugar, or selling ingredients/potions early game. What I've been hating on my most recent playthrough is the Ranis Athrys quests which take longer, are more difficult, and still somehow pay less (if at all).
i have a terrible sense of direction so that trip to ghostgate terrified me
and when i finished the quest, i killed her, took all of her clothes and money
Haha
@@TheCantinaChannel hi there lmao
merry christmas! it's already christmas here so yeah
I get lost looking for my car in a parking lot. And not at a mall. I'm talking convenience store. Morrowind was the ultimate parking lot for me.
Heck yeah. More Cantina for Christmas. Very nice.
We love seeing you! Morrowind is such a treat
Ajira: Go get flowers
Nerevarine Morrow: And I said taking my clothes off was easier
