Jiub was killed in the Siege of Kvatch. In the Soul Cairn, he mentions seeing a Dremora right before getting beheaded, and during the Siege of Kvatch in Oblivion you can enter a ruined house containing a single Dremora. He's wielding a claymore, and is one of the few characters in the game who has a chance to drop a black soulgem. And the piece de resistance is the severed Dunmer head, complete with a gnarly face scar, sitting on a stool right next to the daedra. It's a very minor Easter Egg, but it's incredibly well done.

It's thanks to Morrowind that I developed an unhealthy habit of involuntarily blurting out, "YOU N'WAH!" whenever someone gives me trouble. I am currently seeking psychiatric counseling for my problem.

I was in high school when Morrowind was released. Now that I'm a school teacher, I religiously play Morrowind during my summer and winter breaks to celebrate my vacation. It's a ritual that I never see dying.

Best thing about morrowind was that you had to figure stuff out for yourself and actually read stuff to progress instead of just following a marker on your compass.

I can't believe how original all the monsters in Morrowind were compared to oblivion and skyrim. You were actually suprised to see new creatures in this game.

My favorite Morrowind memory, and good peak at the depth of the game... was on the coast, exploring ruins... the ruins extended underwater, I followed and there was stuff you could get, I think I found a chest underwater there... eventually I near a statue... And then I meet the Deadric Lord, Boethiah... his statue was submerged and he wanted a new one. Keep in mind, this is a pretty random encounter. I swam past a statue underwater to activate this quest. This statue was near nothing and was completely submerged, a ways from the shore. I am sure there was some way to find a book that told you where the statue was, or some other way to start the quest and set you looking... but I just stumbled into it early in the game. The quest then involves research. I had to find and read books. Then I had to hire a particular stone mason based on what I learned in the books... then I have to scout a location. Once I find a good spot... (keep in mind, no map pointer, no 'go here, get this book, now go to the next flashing arrow and hire the orc'... no... you had to figure all of this out yoursel). So you find the location, hire the orc, and a crew... materials... then set them work. Then the construction continues in real time. Takes months. You can return and check on the progress and gradually it takes shape from the cliff face. Eventually the new shrine is completed and Boethiah gives you a rather kickass sword. This had NOTHING to do with the main quest. It was a side quest, and an obscure one at that... but the thought that went into it? I tip my hat to that team.

My most memorable part of Morrowind is that wizard that falls from the sky just as you take the left path out of Seyda Neen. Cracked me up. I also remember taking the scrolls off his corpse and using them (to my usual demise). One time I used one in Vivec, jumped miles away, somehow survived the landing on a hillside, and got 100 acrobatics. Good times. Oh, and also stealing literally everything from the poor shopkeeper in Suran that refuses to actually call the guards.

Morrowind memories, huh? "You betrayed the clan. Watch your back!" "You n'wah!" "Die, fetcher!" "I have a feeling you and I are about to become very close." *You are awakened by a loud noise* *You cannot sleep with enemies nearby* *cliff-racer noises* "You will die!" "Outlander." "What, Outlander?" "Greetings, Outlander." "Welcome, Outlander. I've heard so much about you." "Hello, Outlander. Care to peruse my spells?" Crassius Curio: "MMmmmm..."

I wish I had a pc powerful enough to play it

5:08 he died at the start of Oblivion, you can find his severed head in Kvatch

Here's another one: When Morrowind first came out, Daggerfall was considered the best ES game and many Elder Scrolls fans did NOT like Morrowind. Todd Howard reportedly got DEATH THREATS from crazy fans after the game was released. Funny how times have changed, huh?

I remember taking on that escort quest with that goddamn stupid naked Nord, and having to kill EVERY SINGLE MOB in sight everywhere we went, because he thought he could take on guars and nix-hounds in nothing but his underpants. By the time we got to the witch I didn't even need to hear her side of the story - I was so fed up of the raging tool I was quite happy to kill him. Morrowind is still my favourite game ever though.

The Gameranx crew fights about what the best Elder Scrolls game is all the time. Sometimes we decide on Morrowind.

Wanna buy some skooma!?

I always come back to Morrowind. I've sunk more hours into it than any other game, and it will always be my #1. I love seeing where Elder Scrolls goes as a series, but nothing quite captures the magic of Morrowind.

still playing, always will, Vvardenfell is home

Morrowind remains my favorite game of all time.

Fact 11: Morrowind is the best TES game.

I remember Solstheim being larger and more scary in bloodmoon than in dragonborn ... it felt like they cut the size in half or something.

I love how the town of Raven Rock as it exists in Skyrim was largely founded by the Nerevarine

Morrowind also has more NPC's because there are almost no randomly generated ones. The bandits are named, as are the theifs and beggers unlike in Oblivion and Skyrim where they are randomply generated on the spot with just the name of their class.

the thing i miss the most is the insult from the locals

Morrowind was my friend's favorite game I wish I could watch him play one more time RIP AJ

I remember the talking mudcrab on the southern coast on 1 of the small islands that was also a merchant with 10,000 gold and i remember how much fun it was to build my own stronghold and taunting people into attacking you so you could kill them without getting a bounty (miss that a lot) and the guy who gave you the boots of blinding speed etc.

I found Jiub's head in oblivion. In the destroyed Kvatch.

I voted Morrowind for the "Test of Time" Award in Steam's Game Awards. I feel really disappointed that it went to Skyrim instead.

For number 6 you forgot to mention you actually help build Raven Rock in Bloodmoon.

Am I the only one who's sad that the taunt option was never implemented in future games?

I miss the fact that you could fly, and put all kinds of crazy enchantments on items as long as you had the skill and coin. When you sold an item to a shopkeeper, and it was better than what they already had, they wore it, and if the item had a harmful enchantment on it, it would kill them. Good times.

Awesome, didnt expect you guys to make a video on Morrowind!

Morrowind has been on the throne of best Elder Scrolls yet and so far hasn't been challenged for that title. Hopefully the next elder scrolls can hope to be half as good.

Ah yes, we've been expecting you. You'll have to be recorded before you're officially released. There are a few ways we can do this and the choice is yours.

I revisited Morrowind this summer and with various mods to upgrade the combat and visuals and had a fantastic experience. I'd been afraid to go back to it because I knew that time had passed it by in terms of graphics especially. That said, what shocked me the most after playing so many modern games, including both Oblivion and Skyrim was how much more difficult/challenging Morrowind was to play. Of course, there was also much more freedom (if you can dream it up you can probably either do it or create it in Morrowind). When you achieve something in Morrowind it feels like a real achievement and that only adds to the joy of the game. While the fighting mechanics are random and rely on D&D style rolls of the dice (unless you mod it a bit) Morrowind still offers much to players. The story is richer than any of the followup games and the limitations on maps and fast travel that we take for granted today really do add something because the player is forced to go out and ask for directions and explore his/her world rather than just heading from place to place. All of that makes it feel even more open as there's no pressure to stay on this questline or that one and plenty of time to roleplay. A lot of the things that make Morrowind special might not work today but there are plenty of other things that it offers that RPGs would do well to revisit and incorporate into more modern games. It would be nice to see devs from all RPGs revisit the things that worked in Morrowind in future games without compromising the improvements that have been made in the years that have followed.

Voice acting is expensive I would honestly rather that money went into more npcs than voices tbh

Fetcher...I think my fav Morrowind quest is Sheogoraths, Raven Rock colony and the Wood elf you have to kill in Mornhold...I swear That wood elf was almost impossible to kill. plus I miss the constant effects and levitating spells

Morrowind also has the most potent drugs in the series.

My biggest accomplishment in Morrowwind: I robbed the vaults in Vivic on the second day.

It has the most ridiculous stealth system though.

I remember the first time I loaded up Morrowind, It was the first RPG I ever played, I didn't even know what to do when I started playing, I was just so overcome with adventure I had never seen a world so one of a kind on such a scope before. I spent hours just walking around the world.

-wears Ordinator stuff... -speaks ro ordinator Ordinator: "the only way you couldve gotten this, is by stealing it, die!" fuck.

Morrowind is my second favorite game ever, and easily the best Elder Scrolls game.Most people will never actually beat it tho, cause if you thinkSkyrim is easy to get sidetracked from the main plot, you're in for a lomg journey with Morrowind.

I've been so nostalgic for morrowind since the new year started! Has everyone else been feeling it too?

I played Morrowind back in about 2004 for the first time. I thought it was AMAZING. Granted I hadn't played any games other than old Nintendo (Dragon Warrior 4 was my favorite). When I get my new laptop I plan to put some games on it. Morrowind will be one of them. I prefer to play theive characters and am able to get my level up really high in about 20-30mins from starting a game. I just have a good starter plan. Once I am up there I love how open it is go just go where ever and do whatever. Lots of side quests. You can just get lost in it. And I also agree the music is great. I love when it starts to rain too... kinda soothing. And the sound effects, like the creatures. Yeah, it's one of those ones I got lost in for hours. I think one of my favorite quests are the ones given by Azura. Her voice is pretty awesome too.

I remember my friend was over and we were taking turns playing, and we were near the start exploring just after the little tutorial and saw the huge shadow in the water. Literally ran forever and never stepped near water the rest of the time we played the game. Like, we used that jumping scroll and landed in the ocean and turned off the Xbox lmao

Why walk when you can ride

Morrowind was simply amazing. Greatest game of all time.

Morrowind should be a game engraved in rpg culture..it was the starting point of a new generation of rpg

500 hours into this game and I still haven’t beaten it. I don’t know, I got bored around the first three hours but promised myself to keep going. Now, I don’t even know what I’m doing.

Levitation... Never Forget!

Just started to replay Morrowind GOTY

i just hope there is a time when they can include every part of the elder scrolls lands and just make one huge, living world with a main quest line in all of them which' leads into each other for one grand epic story arc. also to have the skyrim fighting but with the morrowind armor system and repairs again.... i miss repairs so much

I love this game so much. That and KOTOR were my middle school games I never put down.

facts you don't realize unless you're from Maryland, the state Bethesda calls home - Morrowind's first town is Balmora. Balmora, Morrowind. have any of y'all heard of Baltimore, Maryland? ;)

Most important fact: it is the best one from the series!

God I love Morrowind so fucking much. I honestly think it's the best game ever. Dated but just amazing. Oblivion is somewhat comparable but in a different way. And Skyrim doesn't even come close whatsoever. Somewhat like Jiub: Staada. She sort of like an Easter Egg. She's a Golden Saint that appears in Morrowind, Oblivion, and maybe Skyrim (I don't remember) but yesterday I came across her in the Alik'r Desert in ESO. she's a boss fight at Inner Circle (I believe it's called)

I loved Morrowind so much ;) It was so cool that you had to collect shoulder pads too as pieces of armor, each glove was apart from the other. The difficulty level of the game was so much better than in Skyrim... Oh, how nostalgic. My favourite game ever.

Morrowind video... instant click from me

*sees elder scrolls in title* *MEGA CLICK*

Playing Morrowind for the first time just now. Dark elf mage, currently level 25. I've mostly just been exploring the world. Did a few, early quests and might get back into that soon.

Tribunal was so much better than Bloodmoon, imho. I liked Morrowind better than Oblivion, and Skyrim slightly less than Morrowind, but not by much, yet I liked Skyrim a ton more than I liked Oblivion. The best thing about Oblivion was the Shivering Isles. Sheogorath is a hoot!

All time best game.

You can see Jiubs dis-embodied head in kvatch in the house to the left as soon you walk in the gate.

I remember how I never played the story instead I was killing guards npcs and stuff to get loot hahaha

Ah, Morrowind. How I love this game. I was in school for the Air Force when I bought the game back in 03/04. My first character was a Bosmeri Thief, which I enjoyed greatly. On a Thieves Guild mission in Balmora, I got into a scrap with House Hlaalu's guards, culminating in the death of someone named Nileno Dorvayn. Hundreds of hours later, I needed to get Hlaalu's support to become Hortator for the main quest - only to realize my earlier murder spree put me on their bad side. The person I needed to speak to make amends? Yup, Nileno Dorvayn. I broke the main quest and was forced to start over. I never loved a game so much as I did for that. Actual consequence. It was only later I learned I could've talked to Crassius Curio to make amends, which really got me. I've yet to see a game since that had actual consequence as this.

Thank you for this, I would love a even more/longer detailed video of Elder scrolls can't get enough of it.

11. It was the best Elder Scrolls Game

Such a classic, glad people are still talking about this game!

You forgot to mention that in Morrowind you are one of the basically founders of Raven Rock and in Skyrim if you go back there - a few hundred years later - it's like looking at a child grown up. That moment for me was spectacular. I also liked that Skyrim took one of the main musical themes from Morrowind, felt like home :)

CHIM, C0DA, zero-sum anyone? This game had such an exceptional, well-thought, sophisticated and obscure lore that even after more than 13 years people still argue over its details.

Morrowind IS simply the best soundtrack, it's better than most movies

I always named my character Jiub and made himself look like him XD

Spellcrafting and the magic system in general was fantastic. I hated by loved that you really had to master a school of magic to be able to use more powerful spells consistently. My absolute favorite spell was Fortify Jump. Alchemy was also really cool, requiring you to assemble your own lab of up to 4 pieces of equipment each of which could be of different build quality and each contributing to more powerful and pure potions.

why are you not using Morrowind music in this vid...

A bit late, don't you think ?

10. The reason why some good games were never made... Copyright and trademarks have destroyed so much potential...

The little characters customization things were so cool like the piercings being an option for more than just khajiit and the little fins on argonians. Just small details that never should’ve been removed

Should I buy morrowind?

I remember went jumping everywhere to increase my athletics.. good times :') .. and oh yes, I think the Morrowind Soundtrack its the best!

I love Morrowind so much, that I legit have a half-sleeve tattoo on my right arm.

This game is phenomenal. While mechanically the games have gotten better with Oblivion (kind of) and Skyrim (very much) I still think Morrowind was by far a better game in both story and world building. Vivec is still up there as one of the most amazing cities in any video game. And so much awesome armor! Indoril and Her Hands. And of course the Royal Guard set. So epic.

I miss being able to fly. Bring back the levitation potion. Oh male PC could where skirts. You could use spears. Last but not least the quirky spell system the allowed things like spell permanence if you added soul trap to the spell and cast it at your feet.

For it's time it was great. I got it, and played it the original xbox, and played for hours every day, for a year. I still have it on my original xbox and that old xbox still works very well. I have Oblivion, and Skyrim on xbox360, in a separate room from my XBox1, with the new updated Skyrim, and ESO, and other Xbox1games. I go and play Morrowind for the fun of it every now and then. thanks for your info.

Morrowind > Skyrim > Oblivion Let the shitstorm begin.

One of the many great things about Morrowind is that, after the chargen you can do anything you want to. You dont have to do any quests if you dont want to. You can just wander out into the world and have a blast. Made and released over 100 mods for Morrowind, started with Morrow Ravens and then Caits horses /donkeys and never stopped for years. Miss the days of the old mod forums and the many friends i made. Those were the best of times.

I love Morrowind. It is my favorite game ever. I still play it sometimes. And to my knowledge, there is only one thing in the entire game I have never done. Despite my best efforts, I have never been able to find the Scroll of Wolf-Ender.

after playing it for 2 days the first time i started a new char. names navorow and then went to caldera and killed navaro and took over his home. i decked the house out with all types of gems, skulls and made it look so cool. i still wish i had that xbox so i could show people that house. i spent alot of time placing things where i wanted them and decorating that house. i also enchanted a very high lvl ring with 2 secs of 1,000 athletic ability and called it " the ring of toad maddness" you run, hit the ring and then imidiatly jump, sending you flying into the clouds then, just before hitting the ground you hit the ring again to land safely. i loved that ring, saved alot of time and after the ring i didnt need the big giant flees anymore. one of my freinds who was also into mw at the time told me "they mite as well call this game navarow wind"

When I got to Solstheim and the music played... it took me back to playing Morrowind.

STORY TIME - Dear Falcon, Here's my Interesting/Dull memory of Morrowind Recently moving into the new city back in 2002, my mom brought me and my little brother out to check out the city and do some shopping. She found one of those liquidation stores that had a sizeable video game collection. Two games caught my eye with the box art. Diablo II and Morrowind. I knew nothing about either game. Morrowind has more appealing screen shots in the back of it than Diablo, so that was my reference point into what kind of game I was going to be. I still held both boxes the whole time unsure which I wanted to play. Until we got to the cashier my mom noticed the skull on Diablo II and obviously told me to take the other one, I was 11 After all. I knew I wanted Morrowind the whole time but i thought i could get away with her buying me two video games. At the time we also got our first family PC, and I knew nothing about PC and gaming. My only gaming console prior to that was a Sega genesis and N64. My knowledge on gaming with PC's was very much like a console. I put the game in it plays. Well our PC couldn't play the stupid game. I didnt know anything about graphics card, or minimum requirements until after the purchase. This totally killed PC gaming for me. I thought, man these things suck if you have to buy a better one all the time. I still really wanted to play it cause the art inside the box looked amazing and I never played a First Person type game before in my life. Honestly, I never heard of Doom or Wolfeinstein. Anyway so I tell this to a new friend I made in class the next day how stupid PC's are. He asked if he can borrow it and I said sure. But I was clear about how I wanted it back as soon as he beat it. I never got the fucking game back. I asked him again before we graduated grade 8 in 2003. He played dumb. He stills own my game (my mom's technically) To this day I have never played it. My first elder scrolls game was Skyrim. Every minute i put into that game was incredible. Totally immersed. Being hooked into this series almost 10 years later I started to work way backwards. I played Oblivion. I loved so much, especially with all the expansions. And still I think about Morrowind and that stupid kid I lent it to. His name was Imre; pronounced Em -ree. I still don't know anything about the game until I watched this. Best part, I just bought it during a steam sale and I own a MACbook...I still can't play it being a PC only title. I'll be buying Parallels soon enough. I'm a huge gamer now and I know there's many ways I can go about playing it (getting an xbox or PC) but I just wanted to share this stupid story because I probably could have been a die hard fan and huge PC gamer all those years back. I just got into PC gaming a year ago and there's a ton of gems out there. Cheers!

levitation

woah, gameranx does a video on morrowind? i love this game

I sadly never got to play morrowind but I've always wanted to thanks for giving me an idea of what I'm starting

Morrowing was the first RPG for me, when i played it, i was like "wow!" , even before i got down from the ship at the begining of the game. It was mindblowing for me when i saw i can kill someone and acually take his armor and weapon! So yeah, i love it. It's sad that after 15 years some game producers (not bethesda) still failing at making good rpg's...

Here's a fact. It's Morrowind. Not Marrowind.

By far most immersive,detailed and most cared by the developers than any other,not for skybabies and disgusting casuals.

I've been playing morrowind since I got it on the original xbox, and today am still playing it on pc today. I've played oblivion and skyrim, but no other elder scrolls game has had such an impact on me than morrowind.

i bought morrowind game of the year edition for the xbox around the time that oblivion came out back then i didn't really know the series so i was blown back by the sheer size of the game itself (and the endless loading times i mean come on) when i started i ofcourse just started messing around being around 12 at the time and knowing WHAT to do it took me a full year of playing the game of and on again before my first character made it to caius cosadus which is basically the first quest in the game then i rushed through the main quest line (getting scolded by every vivec guard at sight still don't know what's up with that) and i loved all of it of course i used some of the hack and glitches it had and simply loved the levitation potions to the point where i still know the ingriedients (trama roots and the wings of those hated cliffracers) morrowind was the start of my love for big games and will always have a place on the shelve

You forgot to mention the "giant spawns on the west of Tel Vos

i just got the game im gonna play it now i feel like i missed out on it

Morrowind's like the ONLY game I own 5 times. Once on Xbox normal version, then the gold edition with all addons. Then 2 times the PC version via disk(one got lost/broke) and then on Steam gifted to me. Love that game, probably the most fun I have ever had with an RPG aside from other games in the series.
