What is a Good Morrowind Let's Play?

Post » Mon Dec 14, 2009 9:06 pm

I've played Oblivion and am really looking forward to Skyrim, but I've yet to play Morrowind. I started playing it a little bit on the Xbox, but it was tough to get into (long loading times, combat, etc). Anyway, I really want to experience MW, but not exactly play it haha. What is a good let's play for Morrowind? Preferably one that is HD.

Here are some that I found that I'm thinking about watching. If you have any knowledge of these (good or bad) then I'd love to hear it.

Gix's series is very good, and he is still playing after many months:

Yeah I came across his, but I'm not a big fan of having a smaller screen to include his webcam video. Are all of his MW videos like that?

Yep. I did not like it at first, then I came to enjoy watching his reactions. But on the whole I too would prefer if he turned it off.

Yup, that's part of the concept of his LP. Vanilla game and small webcam image to see his reaction. If you can get used to it though, it's a pretty good LP.

But there are other LPers you might want to consider:

http://www.youtube.com/user/ReymasofAshborne: Not his first time in Morrowind, but his game is heavily modded.
and
http://www.youtube.com/user/veriax: Morrowind Veteran. Does an interractive LP where his viewers suggest what he does next. Already up to part 353!

I'm afraid I don't know either of the LPers you mentionned, so I can't comment on that.

Huh. I love Gix's LP's, especially because of the smaller screen. I feel like I actually know him. I'm planning on just lazing around all day and watching all of his LP's from start to current

I checked out Reymas, with the nice mods and great HD quality, he seems to be the likely choice. Thanks to everyone for the help.

This. He's much more "human" than the other players. Mainly because he shows himself. And because he doesn't know sh** about the game. :P He can tell so much more with his feelings with facial expressions (and he HAS more since everything's new to him), and you can relate to him better than any random voices you're hearing. Watching him play is the best thing in Morrowind I've come across since... the game itself! :celebration: He's a good showman and a decent enough talker, and he keeps his focus on the game and the mechanics. You should really check him out if you still haven't! :)

Gix's LP is great but also very painful to watch, because he doesn't know much about the game, so he does some stupid things. :D

Yeah, I think that's just the best part though. :D

One of my personal favorites that I remember is him finding the Mentor's Ring. My reaction?

He's always missing half the stuff. Always. :lol:

Just watched a few of Gix's first videos. He's not having it easy. It doesn't help that he's playing it 100% vanilla, as an unarmored mage, which means that because he doesn't have at least one piece of armor equipped, and he doesn't have the Code Patch installed, the unarmored skill is basically broken and he's not getting any protection at all. :P

I assume he is using it by now.

Nope. But he did equip a pauldron later on.

Gix is the only LP I follow. Precisely because he is new and through watching his videos I can relive the wonderful feeling of being new to the game. And I love seeing his reactions.

I couldn't help but saying 'no no no no!' at the screen when he thought he found the Bungler's Bane for the first MG quest. :D

Or the thing with the fake soulgem. :rofl:

I've never played Morrowind before, so I like Gix's LP because he does not rush through like everyone else's. Plus he does some not so smart things and makes me feel better about bumbling around myself. I tend to listen to his in the background and switch to it when something interesting happens. Plus, his face grows on ya after a (long) while. :-)

Yes, watch Gix's LP. It's fantastic. The best was when he first used the Scroll of Icarian Flight.

I really enjoy Gix's LP, mainly because he has never played before, and is learning things as he goes.

I like Gix's LP. He is new too the game and do many mistakes, but that is why I enjoy watching him play. Why would I watch someone play a game I already know perfectly? :P

Gix is actually good, I have been watching it and only come by its existence via this thread. I am messing around with the fraps software myself and decided to post http://www.youtube.com/user/TelvanniArchMagister?feature=mhum of me playing.
