"You really should've reconsidered this." What a perfect line to start the actual gameplay on.

Hah, they actually burnt the pages?! I assume that meant someone had to sit down and do it. I can imagine some one looking to get in the game design industry thinking they'd made it and then being told "Hey intern, have I got the job for YOU!"

*Opens on Morrowind, but shows Redguard instead.* You N'Wah!

If there was ever, EVER a man I would never accuse of misconfiguring their dosbox, it's Clint from LGR.

"I love the contents of a good box." - LGR 2017

Man I really hate it when my paintings declare war on other similar looking paintings.

Whoo hoo!! A game nobody talks about. Great video as usual dude! :)

5:02 "This control scheme has no place here!" "But the chart says..." "It doesn't work well!" "But... the chart..."

I remember when this game came out, the few people whose machine managed to match the requirements complained that it was super unstable. Also off the top of my head this is the only retail DOS game that *required* a 3Dfx card I can think of, making it require Win95/98 and an expensive card from a specific manufacturer. Really limited its audience. I'm not sure what kind of returns Bethesda was expecting.

Why isn't this getting a switch port, Todd?!

Some of these cutscenes made me genuinely laugh. Especially the one where they take this long pause to zoom in on some guys, and instead of saying or doing something important, he just pumps his fist.

This game seems to be very meme worthy.

rgugnhugnh your DOSbox isn't configged correctly ur game is runnin badly :|:|::|:|

Holy poop! This game actually established few visual elements which came back in Morrowind. For example Dwemer's stuff style.

Ah, Redguard. The Zelda 2 of Elder Scrolls.

The LGR Book of Excellent Boxes. 10/10 Would buy

MY BODY IS READY FOR MORROWIND, BRING IT TO ME! That is whenever you do, great reviews always take great work which takes time. Also hope you'll do Oblivion and Skyrim :) Thank you for such a great informative review!

"...instead of Tomb Raider by way of Bubsy 3D..." That line is gold, Clint. Thanks for another entertaining video.

Though perhaps not the best in the series I actually really enjoyed this game when I was a kid, though yaaa those controls ... they where painful

I would read the crap out of that book of excellent boxes.

"Preorder bonus was always a thing" *At least the games back then were actually complete games which is why preordering was worth it*

I've felt strangely drawn to this game ever since I learned of its existence a few years ago. This seems like the kind of thing that could benefit a lot from a fan remake...

Project Leader: Todd Howard Well that explains everything.

They made a DOS game in 1998? That was a pretty bold choice.

"The timing seems to have been created with fortune tellers in mind." This whole review was REALLY well written. It's always good, but this one was especially well done.

Have you ever tried voice acting because you have a good voice

There's actually a story behind those charred maps. One of the lead people at Bethesda were supposedly really unhappy with how clean the maps looked when they arrived from the printer, and decided to go out to the parking lot and burn the edges of all the maps they had received. He was really happy with the results, but some customers disliked it because the inside of the box got all dirty and smelled like a fireplace. Only the earlier batches of Redguard actually have charred edges on its maps. Later ones have clean unburnt maps. Mine is sadly one of those without burnt edges.

My brother's favorite game of all times is Daggerfall, and when Battle Spire and then Redguard came out, it seriously tested his convictions.

1:04 You've probably got enough game boxes that you could put together a literal "'Book of Boxes'' ranking your big box games from best to worst based on artwork, size/shape, and quality of any additional materials contained within, such as having thick manuals or printed game maps.

"Tomb Raider by way of Bubsy 3D" sounds about right.

Been binging on your videos for the past couple of days. Keep up the good work! The commentary is pretty funny and the variety of games you cover is interesting. Brings back some memories as well as discovering some golden oldies.

That animation is SO bad! Couldn't they have ripped off a few more frames per action from tomb raider as well?

finally! thx LGR!

Dialogue looks better than fallout 4 wew. todd pls don't carry that experiment forward

I'm really hoping that the next Elder Scrolls review is going to start with Clint asleep on his chair, then the wonderful opening dialogue. "Stand up... there you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?" Uhh, Clint? "Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I heard them say we've reached Morrowind..." *Clint's eyes goes wide with a big ol' smile*

Where my LGR Morrowind review

I somehow have nostalgia for the music that I had never heard before.

I've discovered your channel a week ago and can't stop watching all those videos about games that bring a nostalgic tear to my eye ;) I find those videos informative (so many things I didn't know!) and most of all: entertaining - I'm in love with your videos

I loved Red Guard. It had a really well thought out story and dialogue structure that allowed you to approach the game from any angle without ever feeling like you were pigeon holed.

This game is gonna be trending now cuz of Critikal's new speedrun challenge

Do you plan on reviewing the Elder Scrolls Travels games

Only found your channel somewhat recently. Love all your videos sir. Keep it up. PC gamer myself since the 90s. Love the nostalgia trips.

I wonder which will come first, The Elder Scrolls 6, or your Morrowind review.

If you picked this game up at random as a 12-year-old PC gamer in 1998 like me, believe or not, this was a pretty fantastic game. Yes, it got bad reviews, but as someone who didn't know any better, I spent hours upon hours exploring this fantastic little island. Probably the first fully 3D open world game I ever played that was more than just filler plopped down between points of interest, and that alone was mind blowing.

Didn't Michael Kirkbride once say Redguard was his favourite Elder Scrolls game? That being before he achieved Chim and made C0da though

First video I've watch from you. I really enjoy your review style and voice! It's refreshing to hear someone review a game with non-forced jokes and not have obnoxious screams as they go off on tangents. Anyway thanks for your videos!

I'm pretty sure you realize this, but you really do make some peoples lives better with these videos. I often have no connection with some of the games you review, but it honestly helps me in weird ways. idk what im trying to say here, but thank you sooo much for doing what you do.

Do a "Gothic" by Piranha Bytes, plzzzz

Have you ever thought about reviewing Arcanum? I loved that game.

Hey Clint, I've been waiting for this episode since you posted the review of Battlespire a year ago. Keep up the good work man!

I remember playing this game for days on end. The exploration and atmosphere of the open world just sucked me in and I thought it was amazing. I didn't even remember the wonky combat until now.

Why Todd Howard gotta keep a brother down?

Honestly one of the best videos you've done, Clint. You sound even more genuine than usual. Wondering if better script or any sort of connection to the Elder Scrolls.

I loved Redguard and it is bringing back lots of memory. I bought my Dutch box after I enjoyed a bit of Daggerfall and wanted to experience it more. This is far better than the other games,because you can run through the world yourself and no worries about strength and other settings.obviously LGR doesn’t like Redguard,but you must not compare it with modern techniques. Finally I want that US box too, the Dutch/European version doesn’t have much extras.

Discovered your channel 2 days ago, subscribed today! I love your Tech Tales, and Oddware series. You have carved out an awesome niche for yourself, and I love your content. I decided to skip over here to your newest video to let you know that, I was searching your channel for a techtales, on KimDotCom/Megaupload, but couldn't find it. So I think the Kim-Dot-com / Mega-Upload story would make an excellent Tech-Tales story in the future, please consider making a video on it!

Thay should make another Elder Scrolls spin off game

Please review Gothic. It's like Reguard (only better) for us Europeans.

Never noticed that copy of Ys in the background. A review of that would be amazing

happy you did this, never saw this one but read about it. is my memory bad, or do these characters look better then morriwind?

Guess this is revelant again. Hi Charlie

WOW--who knew Yosemite Sam was in Elder Scrolls?

I haven't played most of the games you review (bit before my time mostly, except things like AOE, which every single person has played on earth) But gosh, I love watching these old games and really enjoy your commentary. Your voice is very pleasant and I love the memery and humor :D I even get slightly nostalgic about things I never played xD

I love that I've never played this, but at 8.42, I could tell that was Clavicus Vile and Barbus !

Bloody hell, brilliant review. Can't wait for your Morrowind review, too.

LGR once again bringing the two best TES games to light: Shadowkey and Redguard!

Dear Mr. LGR, I never get tired of watching your videos, old or new.

My cousin bought this on a whim one day during the summer of 98 or something. We loved it even though he computer could just about play at point. It blew us away with the types of side quests and stuff that where available. As mad as it sounds actually following clues on a map to a x where treasure was hidden something I'd only dreamed of lol. It the first time I ever heard of a necromancer too. It weren't until many years later that we realised this was an elder Scrolls game.

I would like a copy of The Book Of Excellent Boxes, please.

weird that a game from 1998 can do a resolution of 1600x1200 that's crazy high

I got the GOG version and got it to run at 1920x1080. The game looks pretty cool at that size. Also, Reguard has my favorite music in all of the Elder Scrolls.

This game, though flawed, really made me excited for the expansion of the Elder Scrolls universe into other game genres and mediums. It's too bad they lost a lot of their original talent in the aftermath of Battlespire and during the development of Morrowind. I love all the ES games for their own merits, but something definitely shifted when Todd Howard took over, and I feel that a little bit of the heart and spirit of the world was lost. Which makes complete sense if you read about how ES was based on the three original creator's pen and paper RPG campaign, and that they weren't involved in ES III and later games. It became a profitable franchise to be capitalized on rather than a labor of love, sadly.

Anyone come here from Moist Critical’s video?

Ahaha! The voice acting is hilarious

I've been trying to find this game for years! I remember playing it briefly on my first PC and had distant memories in my head ever since. Was never particularly enjoyable but I just had to find it again! Thanks dude :)

I have said it before and will say it again...no one makes funny, entertaining, well researched and thorough game reviews like LGR. Just the best 'gosh, darn' reviews on the internet!

A lovely review.

"Khaleesi having a temper tantrum." Clint successfully predicted GoT season 8.

can you talk about Shadowkey and/or Stormhold at one point? no one really talks much about those games, and i'm must kind of interested in them but i can't get my hands on either of them and your videos are fun and awesome so i'm sure you'd do a great job with it

DAMN THAT INTRO CRACKED ME UP! You made a funny out lander.

What's a paladin?

I'm pretty sure the "LGR Book of Excellent Boxes" doesn't contain pictures of actual cardboard boxes but rather photographs of an explicit nature...

+Lazy Game Reviews For you next vintage hardware review, would you consider making content on old enterprise computers such as Sparc workstations by Sun Microsystems, or Alpha and tru64 based computers? I find these platforms very intriguing, and I'm sure they would make great videos for oddware, or even tech tales! Keep up the Great content!

I really enjoy your reviews. If you would consider doing a review on Prison Tycoon I would love to watch it. There are quite a few of them I believe. I'd like to hear your opinion on it. Thank you.

Ah Morrowind. That game killed 2 of my computers and an xbox... I think fondly of it.

are you going to ever do in EverQuest review you could play project 1999 to get that original EverQuest feel

OMG that beautiful woodgrainyness @11:22 is so balltastic! i want to build a modern build in that case!

That 3Dfx logo sets all my nostalgia hightech-feelings on fire.

Frustrating Dialogue System, Voiced Protagonist, Camera Angles... OMFG I see where Fallout 4 got it's Dialogue system!

god(d) howard

That intro summary was pure gold!

Man... Your Morrowind Review is becoming my most anticipated review on KZfaq. As always, great review!

"That it somehow forgot to nail the basics of gameplay" - Every bethesda game.

The GOG version work actually well, and as im a big fan of the elders scrolls games and its lore i found it to be quite a positive journey.

I got this game used in 01' thinking I would like it, I was wrong. I gave it away, and it came with everything but the pewter figure, and colored comic. Then I found a copy of Might and magic seven at a thrift store, and enjoyed it much, much, much more. I lost the cloth map it came with though... Anyway that was about me but I'm glad to see this game reviewed, as the copy I gave away was the only one I had ever seen!. Kudos man!

Found your channel thanks to your daggerfall review. When will you review Ultima boxes and games? :)

the fallout 4 of elder scroll games then?

These days, an Elder Scrolls spin off would actually *be* a CRPG.

Hey LGR, have you played any of the newer Shadowrun games? I have a feeling you MIGHT enjoy them. They're really rad, at least i think so. And excellent review btw.

Anyone else notice in the opening cutscene the book has a chapter called "Rains of Skyrim"? Can barely see it as it's flipping through the pages. Love the lore in these games!

No RP, lacklustre story and subpar dialogue? Sounds like Fallout 4.
