Let's Play Morrowind, "The Sun Shines for a Stolen Man&#

Post » Fri Aug 10, 2012 3:26 am

Hello everyone, I'm a Youtuber of about 5 months now, and things are going pretty well for my channel. I wanted to share my playthrough of the game with the true fans of the Elder Scrolls series, because I had to face the facts that the majority of the people on Youtube have the attention spans of a fly, and can't appreciate a great game like Morrowind.

If you enjoy the video(s) and leave some sort of comment or rating, that would be great. I've been playing Morrowind for about 7-8 years now, and I finally have the opportunity to do something different with the game; take an audience with me while I play it.

I'll keep it short and sweet here, no one wants to read through this whole thing.




My channel on Youtube is "BuddyMcFriend" (Unfortunately I don't have permission to create a direct link to the series)

I hope you have an amazing day!

What makes your let's play different or special, because there are tons of Morrowind let's plays out there.

I watched a few videos, the first one and then some later on in the series, and it's basically what you expect.
But he does have some good things on his side that many do not.
Clear speaking voice, HD quality, a good understanding of the game, and fully engaged in the game world.
Not playing Blind is also a plus. I hate Blind playthroughs of Morrowind, that's the most boring/frustrating thing to watch.

Unfortunately, no mods. Not even Better Bodies, so it's the charming vanilla ugliness. Which is fine (especially for a Let's Play) but gets old quick.
Also, since MW is a slow game, so are the videos.

I have no interest in really watching a Let's Play of anything, but from what I saw, I'd recommend this one.

Thanks Pluto, I didn't want to use any mods like Better Bodies because I wanted to keep it as authentic as possible. A bit later on, I get a graphics extender so that the rendering distance is basically removed. I was getting a little frustrated with not being able to see very far.

I suppose what Pluto said sums up what I have that is different from everyone else. I realize that I'm speaking to an audience and I try to keep people entertained the best I can.

Allright, I will give your let's plays a shot then. I'll post some feedback here later.

I like it. You know a lot about the game, and you are funny most of the time. Your little remarks about e.g. picking a class were also quite interesting.

Your main 'selling point' is your voice though which is very clear and in overall just a great voice for this kind of thing. I love it when you impersonate shopkeepers etc.

It is certainly one of the very best I have seen yet. What I especially hate about a lot of these let's plays is that you can practically hear the 'dorkyness'. I do not have that problem with you at all.

Thanks for sharing. Most of the time I do not actually watch what you are doing though, because I know the game so well. I listen to what you are saying while I am doing other things, and watch a for a while every now and then.

Thank you very much Panda Claws, it means a lot to me that someone with a great understanding of the game enjoys what I'm doing. Thank you for giving me a shot, and I understand the reasoning behind you not watching; I do the same thing sometimes. But yes, thank you so much again, "It is certainly one of the very best I have seen yet" was something that really made me smile.
