Character Creation - Morrowind Mechanics

For how well-made this video is, I'm super surprised to see how few subscribers this guy has.

Just a comment on Hand to Hand: I once made a character purely focused on no armor and hand to hand with an insane accuracy with each hit. He became OP, every time I landed a punch which was 95% of the time, the enemy staggered, and I was able to stun lock them like this, their stamina depleted, I knocked them out, from there on, I could continue punching them to death, or switch to my battle axe, which then resulted in a swift kill. Hand to Hand can become insanely powerful, so much so, that with time it feels cheasy and even like cheating.

I've played this game since '04 and it was THEE game that started my into RPG's and the like. This is still my favorite game of all time!! Thanks for the vids for us TES vets who need a bit of a refresher and some hidden things we didnt notice before. Thanks bro

Jumping into this game for the first time since I was 8 or 9 and its all thanks to your lets play series! I decided to check out your mechanics series since you referenced it so often in Morrowind Mondays and holy crap! Super helpful, I feel really confident with my super super role-play heavy character.

This has to be one of the best Morrowind guides I've ever watched and I've watched MANY. Great job, Lyle!

Hello and thank you for this content. I recently purchased Morrowind and Oblivion after playing Skyrim for the past 9 years. I can’t wait to jump into Morrowind for the first time!

Most under rated scrolls content creator. Still find myself coming back to your videos. Thank you.

Thank you for the epic video I look forward to watching the rest of them! ❤

My god, it was almost 3 years ago when I first came across this channel. I've been watching you since freshman year. Damn. Times change.

Thank you for going through all the effort to make this playlist, it really helped me get into the game! I started with Oblivion and then Skyrim when it came out so I ended up missing out on this gem. 👍

Excellent! Thanks to your videos, I might actually play this some day!

I know I am late to the party here, but this video is genuinely awesome. I watched 10 seconds of some other guy's video and he was just so condescending from second 1. But Lyle is honestly so genuine about this tutorial. Thank you for this!

I'm glad I found this, you'll help me out when I start Morrowind 😊

Playing morrowind for the first time on Xbox. Don't know why i haven't even tried till now. Grateful for your videos.

Nice video man! Just got back into Morrowind myself. I was recently tasked with creating all the in game spells and effects from TES3 in Beyond Skyrim Morrowind. Got a lotta work ahead of myself. Hehe

"...as high as 50 and as low as 30..." Orc females start with 25 Personality. For Favored Skills, I recommend END and Luck. Luck is hard to level in game and helps everything you do. Endurance gives you extra HP every time you level. Having a high endurance early is better than later in the game. If you choose playing sneaky, making Sneak a Major will level you too quickly Wondering why you chose Enchant as a Minor. Gems are kinda rare and the failure rate to enchant is high. Better to pay a trainer to raise. Same reasoning for Armorer. Not a lot of damaged equipment lying about to practice on. Buy training. Block is hard to level, so consider that as a Major. Disagree completely on Athletics. 3 laps on the Odai river, Balmora to the sea, will level a minor Athletics at level 25. Acrobatics is WAY better to level so you can start walking up hills and steep ramps. If you are not running a magic user, pick The Lady as your sign. In effect, it gives you 2.5 extra Hit Points each time you level. Choosing The Steed is ridiculous as there are so many magic items that help you move quickly. I enchanted Jump on some shoes that gets me across the island in 3-4 bounds. Even with Speed 100, you are never going to outrun the ubiquitous Cliff Racers. Enjoy your stay in Vvardenfell, Outlander

if you paralyze your enemys you can hit their health with hand to hand directly. So focus on illusion and hand to hand is viable. Only problem are vampires because of the paralyze immunity.

This was an incredibly useful video. Starting out in Morrowind creating a character and a class, I was kind of confused. But more than that I was just uncertain about what will be good. This video was exactly what I was looking for. It really let me get a good overview of what decisions are good to make, and basically what decisions I can make in general. I am a little bit proud that I managed to figure out that the Lover was a good birthsign pick on my own though 😛

Thanks for the help, got morrowind finally, after play skyrim then oblivion I thought I would try elder scrolls 3 and this helped me out greatly

Very happy to have found this playlist. Gearing up to play on my phone using OpenMW
