Skyrim Marathon Pre-Show - Part 01: Morrowind

fucking yes

these are my favorite videos on the site. dave, ryan, and kessler play so well off of each other!

wut!? archives gold right here

Man, I would've loved to see these two make an Endurance Run out of this. Such a perfect duo.

Time to rat 52 minutes

I go back to this series about once a year. Ryan and Dave staying up all night playing my favorite RPGs is the most comforting thing. Rest in peace Papa Bear.

Agreed.

These old streams are like soul food

This stream is the definition of cozy.

I really liked the Morrowind dark elf voices, a bit unfortunate that they changed them in subsequent TES titles

I miss you Ryan. :(

I absolutely loved this stream live. We'll miss you Ryan.

one of my favourite Ryan videos, sad to see him go

The morrowind theme is soo good!

I don't know why but I always crack up when Ryan says "I've got this voice" at the start of the second run.

Oh man, that sudden thunderstorm was perfect!

Man, I couldn't go back to this when I tried after starting with Oblivion. That draw distance and those loading bars every 100 feet are killer.

I do it from time to time as well; the Morrowind section of the pre-Skyrim show is just so terrifically relaxing.

I probably watch this once every three months. Probably because it reminds me when I was young staying up late consuming energy drinks and slim jims playing Morrowing and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness.

Even though Morrowind and Oblivion look super outdated I still want to play them!

really really enjoyed the whole pre-show of morrowind and oblivion

I Bet that thing "SHITS" like a beast... lol

The sexual tension in this video is ridiculous.

Man I hate that dice roll, every time you swing there's a chance to miss.

edit: I like that the egg farmers have pickaxes you know for mining eggs :D. Morrowind is a weird place, too bad it blew up.

Drowning in ankle-deep water is definitely the best part of this video.

Dave: "Uhhh... I may have turned on the "Better Bodies" mod."

I think everyone turns on the better bodies mod. :)

I think it's also fair to say that the better bodies mod turns on everyone.

I'm actually a lot more interested in the pre-show videos than the Skyrim marathon itself haha

Don't feel bad Dave, I'm pretty sure at this point every copy of Morrowind comes with the better bodies mod installed.

Why am I always having such trouble with video on this site? Sometimes progressive works, sometimes streaming, sometimes HTML and sometimes the theatre but it's never all of them. I have to change back and forth from day to day and video to video to whatever seems to be not broken. Although the the theatre is always "Crap! this is broke" lately. It can't be my PC since I built a new one from scratch a few months back and that changed nothing.

I love GB, but I just wish you could fix the video problems at some point. Yesterday only progressive was working on this video and now today when I was going to continue watching, only streaming is loading the video.

I'm glad that there are so many options since it's always one of them that is working, but I'd rather just have one option that actually works. I don't have the same problem with other sites.

Strange. I'm on a far worse connection (and computer) and yet I've had no issues with any of the video options.

I forgot just how goddamn brown Morrowind was.

Looks really sharp with the mods though.

What! I had so much fun with the game. You just have to get into the story, and also take the time to just explore. It's just hard to find where to go sometimes, but I spent soooooo many hours with it and the expansions.

You didn't steal and then drop the gold platter!

lolololol @ Kessler getting ignored so much when he is annoying as fuck

What is that picture on the wall at 28:00 from? It's awesome! I need more heavy '70s fantasy stuff.

Im quite sure Ive seen that picture as a Terry Brooks book cover.

Google gave me this: http://www.tower.com/elf-queen-shannara-terry-brooks-hardcover/wapi/108158949

Elf Queen of Shannara is a damn good book, as is all the Shannara books, though they are blatant Tolkien Ripoffs.

Never had those problems, nor heard about them. Sure its not on your end?

I Use progressive 99% of the time and it works great.

Im on a Mac though, Im used to things just "working" :) (sorry!)

Btw, I use Chrome as well.

MORROWIND DAVE AND RYAN.

This is why i pay my money. hell chea

it's Dave

@rafoXxX: I remember hearing about a big ol' one that combined a lot of them into one simple installer, but then one of the modders had a hissy fit and demanded it be taken down. Is MGE that?

@Butano: Dude, a few months ago I made my Morrowind look waaaaay better than Oblivion... and with an "infinite" view distance. I'm not exaggerating.

It's the Morrowind Graphics Extender. Check this video.

It's funny I remember when this game came out and it looked amazing unmodded.

Wow. Those are some fancy texture mods. Is there a single pack of these, or do I have to install them all separate?

Wow, the draw distance is like 4 feet.

Also, playing the game "always the worst part of the elder scroll series"...are these games supposed to be fun?

best game ever!

You have NO IDEA how close to having an aneurysm I was when I saw this. Morrowind is the game that brought me back to the world of gaming, and I haven't left since.

Morrow definitely looks better than I remember, never played it with mods though.

I enjoy these so very much.

I really enjoyed playing this game though I never really got out of Balmora, I did go into every single house and looked at every single loot-able in the town. Acrobatics becomes awesome in this game. I could jump from roof to roof all night long
