Skyrim is super small scale, I think it should’ve been way bigger and it seems like it might have been intended to be based on remenants of barely implement content. But Bethesda aren’t like Obsidian when they were working on NV, so there isn’t a lot of Skyrim content that is leftover, Bethesda knew how much they could do in a given amount of time. I hope TES6 will be on a much grander scale than previous instalments with all the 𝕊𝕙𝕚𝕥 Beth has received and all the time they’ve had I expect it to be something impressive. Best not to get your hopes up though eh.

It is amazing just how shallow Oblivion and Skyrims worldbuilding is compared to Morrowind. In TES III Tamriel really felt like a vast and unique fantasy land, ruled by a multinational empire populated with many different peoples and cultures. Then Oblivion comes out and you get monocultural Cyrodiil with its boring, uniform terrains. Cyrodiil is supposed to be huge, with latitudes differing drastically from the very south to north. And in TES 5 Skyrim feels like mountainous Cyrodiil. The culture is pretty much the same but the names and accents are different. It doesn't feel like the Nords really have that many cultural differences from Imperials. The biggest surprise was the entire Nordic pantheon was reduced to curses uttered by bandits in combat. No honor duels or shamans fighting with enchanted weapons. The Reach is incredibly bland, with Reachmen only existing as Bretons with Gaelic sounding names and the Forsworn...who are reduced to bandits. I played the games backwards and enjoyed them all, but I never got that impression of a vast and detailed world like I did in Morrowind.

@HappyBeezerStudios4 ай бұрын
@@HappyBeezerStudios The whole "200 years" excuse always sounded like a cop-out to me. Especially since there is no corresponding lore to elaborate. Like, perhaps they could have included some books that detailed how the Imperial Cult ramped up missionary activity in Skyrim or something like that. At the end of the day, I think everyone knows that the differing presentations of Cyrodiil and Skyrim from the lore in Morrowind was due to Bethesda pursuing a different creative direction, much like Fallout 3 and 4. I did enjoy Skyrim a lot more than Oblivion, and thought the world was a lot more interesting. Though when I encountered Nords and descriptions of Skyrim in Morrowind I found them to be much more intriguing then those depicted in Skyrim.
@ulfskinn14584 ай бұрын
The Nords feel weirdly incoherent in Skyrim. Like most of the explicit text of the game is telling us that they're basically vikings but if you actually stop to look for a second they resemble the Anglo-Saxons much more, but the game doesn't exactly commit to that even though it'd be interesting. I think the central conflict in the game would have been a lot more interesting if they commited to that because like as it is there isn't really much at stake because the Imperials are just objectively correct.

It is a great mod. I have to check out the other areas they completed but just going out and discovering stuff. I came across some random ruin I'm sure is part of something where I had to play riddles with a draugr head for example. Also doing the thieves guild stuff so far is interesting. The fact with the bounties ic could help a member escape rather than turn them in was a good choice. The fighters guild was also pretty good and I like the fact if you do something before a quest it lets you tell the quest giver you already did it. Like I found two orc outlaws killed them before I even went into karthwasten. And that's just in that city I haven't been to the other big centers much yet. I'm also really excited to check out the Cyrodiil mod and the mainland Morrowind areas I've seen in these videos. Morrowind is my favorite game and while I still enjoy vanilla it is amazing that people have made these huge new land mods full of new content and quests like brand new games set in Morrowind and lore friendly. I love it.

God the Nords were so cool in Morrowind. They still had their own Pantheon, and the Draugr weren't mishmashed Dragon Cultists but instead dishonorable warriors or warriors cursed to live on Nirn. Nords had a much more Celtic/Ghaulish influence, and the Tongues were implied to be much more common rather then as mythologized heroes. The Tongues also fight people and cut off their tongues to increase the power of their Thuum. They completely neutered Nords in Skyrim.

Both Skyrim and Cyrodiil sounded like far more interesting places in the old lore than what we eventually got.
Agreed, hope we see the Sky Whales one day from this mod... Man old lore is insane yet awesome.
Dang that sucks
So, so true... real shame Bethesda fell off a cliff after Morrowind.
@@planescaped I still doubt we'll ever get Beyond Morrowind, probably Cyrodiil and Atmora considering those leaks but otherwise...I can't say for certain. If Bethesda ever decide to remaster the older games in some way I really would hope they don't change a lot of the really interesting stuff, lore or otherwise.
Skyrim is super small scale, I think it should’ve been way bigger and it seems like it might have been intended to be based on remenants of barely implement content. But Bethesda aren’t like Obsidian when they were working on NV, so there isn’t a lot of Skyrim content that is leftover, Bethesda knew how much they could do in a given amount of time. I hope TES6 will be on a much grander scale than previous instalments with all the 𝕊𝕙𝕚𝕥 Beth has received and all the time they’ve had I expect it to be something impressive. Best not to get your hopes up though eh.

@@TheRedKnaveLP actually tamriel data has a book about how the quarantine on Vvanderfell was recently lifted due to political pressure from the great houses and the east empire trading company
@@libenhagos9335 It's quite funny that, Tamriel Rebuilt (the project that is building mainland morrowind) used to have a strict storyline that Vvardenfell was quarantined from the mainland, which excused all of the lack of integration of the mod :) These days it's been ditched, so that book is quite a funny thing referencing something that the project held for years and years :D
I love how your character is getting mesmerized by normal mundane animals. A sucker punch to the gut compared to the usual Morrowind abomination wildlife.
Seeing normal animals in Morrowind is stranger than the creatures from Morrowind itself!
I love it, it's so random but hillarious 😂

"The Vorndgad Forest is perhaps the largest forest in any of the Elder Scrolls games" I would have given that title to the entirety of Oblivion's Cyrodiil
@mat_specular wasn't it that Tiber Septim or someone used their powers to change Cyrodiil from a forest to mere woods?
@@HipixOFFICIAL That's the explanation used in universe to retcon previous lore, when Bethesda just wanted to make a more generic RPG setting so that it was more marketable.
@@Personaless thank you
They could have even just said the forests were cleared/cut down during military development.
@@frankenstein6677 problem is they wanted a generic temperate forest and old lore depicted it as tropical.
This "Exploring the Medium of Morrowind" playlist is perhaps the most watchable few hours of video on KZhead. Calming, informative, witty, thought-provoking. All of Warlockracy's stuff is great, but Morrowind is in a league of its own for the type of storytelling he likes to do.
Tyvm
@@Warlockracy Thank you, man! It's a stressful time and your vids are helping me through it.
This is so soulful, calming and cosy, I agree. A beacon of calm and warmth among the ruthless storm of life. What can be better than good old vintage game like Morrowind with such an intelligent and atmospheric person like Warlockracy? I live for those vibes.
The playlist says one video is unavailable.
Sometimes we get gems like this. Sometimes we get "Fallout: New Vegas The Frontier".
lmao
Well, every horrible experiment gives us plusses. The old ages of dissections gave us human anatomy knowledge. That 'mod' gave us amazing vehicles.
@@supergoodadvice853 Why 'mod' instead of just mod?
Honestly, it's impressive how this is a sliver of what is planned for PT and it has as much content as some games. I feel like Morrowind will still be going strong 20 years from now because of mods like this.
Can you suggest some big world mods that works well with Open Morrowind? Thanks!
That's what you get with a good game which facilitates modding, just look at Doom, almost 30 years now and it's still lively, productive, and imaginative. Moddable games have virtually infinite shelf life.
PT?
@@darkcheaker Project Tamriel (and TR) work just fine with open mw.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarinethe semirecent popularity of myhouse.wad goes to show how relevant these old games can be. You think it's old and dead, then something cool comes out and catches everyone's attention yet again.
I'm here for that Rare Shadowkey Lore. Fantastic overview of the mod.
Azra Nightwielder is findable in game as is... good luck finding him...
I love how for guard armor they didn’t do any dumb looking fantasy shit (I’m not saying all fantasy armor looks dumb) they just gave them conventional medieval armor which is cool I love the look of lamellar
This is exactly why I have so many armor replacer mods in Skyrim lol (Sons of Skyrim and New Legion are the best ones imo)
@@billybonk7673take a look at Immersive Armors, that adds a lot that also is indeed quite immersive.
I wouldn't call this conventional, this armor is very Rus which is an interesting choice.
This is a better Skyrim than Toddland. The attention to detail for the lore is fucking tasty. Really curious to see how far this mod expands over time.
Amazing how the modding community consistently produces better content than Bethesda
That's because they care.... modders, I mean. Bethesda can release whatever, tech- and content-wise, and it would sell a lot, so why bother? Their games were released at bad state but even FO76 sold a lot. Same customers made DLCs a thing because they bought horse armor instead of ridiculing that idea.
HAHAHAHHAHAH READY FOR THE BAGILLIONTH RELEASE OF SKYRIM?! HERE YA GO! kek
@@SpecShadow I mean it sorta just pragmatism, no investor or company can sustain itself with one game in development for 20+ years. They are a company and need to make money. Modders are free of those constraints and have a virtual infinite time to tweak and improve everything. There's also the fact that massive project of this quality are rear it's mostly small mods of widely varying quality, while Bethesda is consistently average.
Because modders aren't concerned about selling enough copies to stay afloat at the least and have no overlords demanding they do it this way, that way, and crunch forever.
@@questioningespecialy9107 Oh my god how I crunch.
I always hated how TES 5 stepped away from Kirkbride's madness and turned Skyrim into "generic snowy land with vikings"
People hate on Skyrim too much and ignore the real loss. Oblivion’s presentation is total dogshit. Sure the cities look great, but Oblivion is the blandest generic fiery world setting, the internal cultural divides don’t even get lip service in game, the aesthetic is as generic fantasy as TES has been since 1996.
@@baronofbahlingen9662 with good reason, I prefer Morrowind being the odd one out and remaining unique, seeing how ESO is desperate to make every province "special" while glossing over everything as briefly as possible makes me wish that all of Tamriel would just be generic fantasy, with Morrowind being the one special and alien place
@@blueshit199 If you read the in-game books they are all weird. Elsewheyr where the Khajit come from has giant walking tree cities and other wild shit. Cyrodil should have much more mixed in Japanese style architecture than it does. Weirdly, Sky Temple in Skyrim got this right. The akiviri work and Japanese roof tops.
@@Cajaquarius I thought the moving tree city was in Valenwood, there were also giant insects like in Morrowind
@@blueshit199 Oh sh you are right, I mixed them up.
Great review! I love how you reviewed it almost in a roleplay aspect, following your Nords adventures as a way to explain the mod! I'm excited to try this myself!
Me too, I kind of hope he would review most of mainland Morrowind content this way.
I can't get over how beautiful those Direnni windows are
Yeah, prior to visiting the ruins HR seemed very bland aesthetically. A nice surprise.
Awesome review, I'd love a Morrowind playthrough in this style. Also huge kudos to the SHotN team, the level of writing and design seems on par with Morrowind, it feels just like a part of the game. I used to be a part of their team 11 years ago, didn't know they kept working on it. Great to see this come to life, and in such quality too!
I really do wish the reachmen were more expanded on in Skyrim, feels like we missed out on vanilla
I recommend the Beyond reach mod.
So even the modding community is re-releasing Skyrim!
stealing this joke for a re-review a year from now
I don't know why I keep coming back to this video. The footage is nice, his voice is calming and I really like the look of this version of Skyrim.
Quality review, hope to see more in the future
Definitely agree, I wish he played the Thieves Guild :)
It is amazing just how shallow Oblivion and Skyrims worldbuilding is compared to Morrowind. In TES III Tamriel really felt like a vast and unique fantasy land, ruled by a multinational empire populated with many different peoples and cultures. Then Oblivion comes out and you get monocultural Cyrodiil with its boring, uniform terrains. Cyrodiil is supposed to be huge, with latitudes differing drastically from the very south to north. And in TES 5 Skyrim feels like mountainous Cyrodiil. The culture is pretty much the same but the names and accents are different. It doesn't feel like the Nords really have that many cultural differences from Imperials. The biggest surprise was the entire Nordic pantheon was reduced to curses uttered by bandits in combat. No honor duels or shamans fighting with enchanted weapons. The Reach is incredibly bland, with Reachmen only existing as Bretons with Gaelic sounding names and the Forsworn...who are reduced to bandits. I played the games backwards and enjoyed them all, but I never got that impression of a vast and detailed world like I did in Morrowind.
I can put some of that down to the 200 year timeskip, but not all can be explained that way. But Skyrim has at least some veriety in it's landscape. From snowy mountains to tundra plains to swamps to colorful forests.
@@HappyBeezerStudios The whole "200 years" excuse always sounded like a cop-out to me. Especially since there is no corresponding lore to elaborate. Like, perhaps they could have included some books that detailed how the Imperial Cult ramped up missionary activity in Skyrim or something like that. At the end of the day, I think everyone knows that the differing presentations of Cyrodiil and Skyrim from the lore in Morrowind was due to Bethesda pursuing a different creative direction, much like Fallout 3 and 4. I did enjoy Skyrim a lot more than Oblivion, and thought the world was a lot more interesting. Though when I encountered Nords and descriptions of Skyrim in Morrowind I found them to be much more intriguing then those depicted in Skyrim.
The Nords feel weirdly incoherent in Skyrim. Like most of the explicit text of the game is telling us that they're basically vikings but if you actually stop to look for a second they resemble the Anglo-Saxons much more, but the game doesn't exactly commit to that even though it'd be interesting. I think the central conflict in the game would have been a lot more interesting if they commited to that because like as it is there isn't really much at stake because the Imperials are just objectively correct.
@@hedgehog3180 The Imperials in TES V are emasculated bureaucrats. Rooting for them is like going to bat for Vichy France.
You know, when I watch your videos I get those "late 90s - early 2000s" game magazines vibe when every piece of content on their pages was percieved as a miracle, something really interesting as if the game really existed somewhere. Sorry, I probably don't make a sense. Thank you for your effort and nostalgic vibes.
I have a Telvanni sorceress character ATM who could pop a couple of potions and be Karthwasten in an hour... alchemy connects you to the Earth Bones, comrades.
It is a great mod. I have to check out the other areas they completed but just going out and discovering stuff. I came across some random ruin I'm sure is part of something where I had to play riddles with a draugr head for example. Also doing the thieves guild stuff so far is interesting. The fact with the bounties ic could help a member escape rather than turn them in was a good choice. The fighters guild was also pretty good and I like the fact if you do something before a quest it lets you tell the quest giver you already did it. Like I found two orc outlaws killed them before I even went into karthwasten. And that's just in that city I haven't been to the other big centers much yet. I'm also really excited to check out the Cyrodiil mod and the mainland Morrowind areas I've seen in these videos. Morrowind is my favorite game and while I still enjoy vanilla it is amazing that people have made these huge new land mods full of new content and quests like brand new games set in Morrowind and lore friendly. I love it.

This was a great overview and review. Thank you for all the time you spent to make this video for us.
First video of yours that I was suggested, it's been an excellent experience.
New subscriber here. This is a great review series and and I look forward to more! As an avid modder of Bethesda games, this has series has inspired me to install Morrowind again and jump back into the rabbit hole. Informative, funny, and I love the story based narrative of the review. This channel is already criminally underrated. Keep it up!
Randomly stumbled on your Morrowind videos and boy are these great! Looking forward to watch more from you. Absolutely love your style
Awesome video :) Loved the punching montages, and I'm really glad you had a great time exploring and doing quests. I will say -- you look to have found some of the cooler caves and dungeons, there are definitely some that top those even more though ;)
Nice video! I loved how thorough you were with it.
I swear that this is another todd's plan to make us get skyrim again
Wow, these mod reviews are so good, I hope you will keep doing them.
Great video. Looks like the PT gang even showed up in the comments
Brilliant. I haven't laughed this much in a mod review well, ever. TY so much!
holy fuck the guards armor doesnt look like poopy rags, guess metal is good for protection, who woulda thought?
Funny that you keep calling Skyrim "Todd's Skyrim" but he was the lead dev on morrowind too. But great video anyways
Polygon has a cool article about how Morrowind came to be: www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2019/3/27/18281082/elder-scrolls-morrowind-oral-history-bethesda Kirkbride had to use creative strategies to get some of his more esoteric stuff past Todd, it’s gr8
@@Warlockracy damn I'm no where near done reading but this is great, "Dark Crystal meets Star Wars" is a great way to describe morrowind and Kirk story about doing two types of design was funny.
This was very interesting to watch. Love your review!!
Looks absolutely incredible, great overview, thanks.
12:30 This single city and it's complicated background is like, six times more interesting than any sidequest in Skyrim.

Amazing review, you've done a great work here!
Thank u
@@Warlockracy you're welcome :D
That was an excellent review and a fitting closing montage. :)
Very interesting review, enjoyed it quite a lot.
God the Nords were so cool in Morrowind. They still had their own Pantheon, and the Draugr weren't mishmashed Dragon Cultists but instead dishonorable warriors or warriors cursed to live on Nirn. Nords had a much more Celtic/Ghaulish influence, and the Tongues were implied to be much more common rather then as mythologized heroes. The Tongues also fight people and cut off their tongues to increase the power of their Thuum. They completely neutered Nords in Skyrim.
I'd pay good money for this as a completed game/mod. It seems so geniune and respectful towards the lore and it's own contents. Maybe we'll get a whole Morrorwind-game-style Tamriel someday if all these modders continue their blessed work.
Great review style, I subscribed.
this was extremely good content. subbed and hoping to see your channel grow in the future
This is a really fun video series and has helped my friends get into the spirit of the game. Great job!
STOP! I can go no further without saying this channel is my Champion. You have defeated all other TES game review channels. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Shadow hides.
These videos are great. I would be very interested in seeing a playthrough/review of Morrowind's main game content in this style.
The plan is to do TR -> more TR -> possibly more TR -> Bloodmoon -> Morrowind -> Tribunal. All with the same character as a continuous story.
@@Warlockracy Sounds great!

Random Elder Scrolls/Morrowind content? Sure why not. I like the voice. Suits going around Skyrim.

Amazing video, it must've taken ages!
To be fair to ToddRim, most poor civvies in the Reach are Bretons with Celt names - Reachmen.
Awesome video dude!
nice, i love oblivion and like skyrims lore but nothing beat the shear autism and depth of morrowind. might have to try these mods out once i find my missing cd to reinstall it.
you've betrayed the clan, watch your back
Just discovered that the mod community is still active for MW absolutely amazing. Home of the nords got an update just 9 days ago on the 10th of November 2023... WTF?
How did I miss the mages guild in Karthwasten? Through review of a large town. Thanks!
It only got added with the latest release. Formerly it was just a mage's house (now living in Dragonstar).
wait can you teleport to vvardenfell from there?
I've been modding the hell out of Oblivion to try and experience something more Morrowind-like. Doesn't work. Morrowind is still the greatest open-world RPG ever made, so guess I'll reinstall and try this mod.
The first Skyrim related video I have enjoyed in years.
Great video and a fantastic mod, thank you very much!
you deserve sooooooo many more views/subscribers
Great mod reviews
This mod looks amazing!
Love your channel!
Need more parts to this series ive watched it twice XD
The last I saw of it was in 2020, but I'd still love to see if that Shadowkey remake in Morrowind ever went/is going anywhere, I'd love to experience that game in a more familiar engine and easier setup. Seeing these fan-expansions really makes me eager to see more, especially with OpenMW and the like. Love these deep-dives and overviews!
truly breathtaking
My local shop supplies milk from a Co-op called Norco. Now it's all I can think about after you said Nord Orc alliance. Thanks for that.
I love you, you morrowind preserver, you.
This looks amazing
I’m loving this series. Seriously might use it for a dnd campaign I’m building as ideas
Will you do more of Morrowind fan expansions? It's really good!
Yeah, I’m gonna do a ton. The next video is about an Oblivion mod however.
@@Warlockracy Awesome! looking forward to it.
I finally got it working today, I guess you have the preview content of Tamriel Rebuilt installed? Because for the shake of stability I didn't and it's suprising how small the finished parts of the mod are compared to the wip ones.
This series helped me through COVID.
I love the travelogue style
I think the severed Nord leg is a reference to the Blood Moon DLC. The Mead Hall Massacre quest has you hunting the Udyrfrykte in its cave, and it uses a severed Nord leg as its weapon of choice. You can loot it off of its corpse
I’m yet to play Bloodmoon believe it or not.
@@Warlockracy No way. That caught me by surprise, I'm not gonna lie
