  • Skyrim was awesome because they looked back at Morrowind and used a LOT of aspects from it. Even the music!

  • Doesnt Morrowind´s soundtrack just make you cringe because of the awesomeness?

  • Morrowind is indeed still the best RPG i've ever played! Amazing game!

  • My god I remember when Morrowind came out ^_^ best time of my life!

  • I'm 14 and Morrowind was by far the best elder scrolls game ever made

  • I remember first getting morrowind and i was so hyped for it and when i heard the opening music i could feel the awesomeness about to blow my mind.

  • can you imagine how much video games would suck if zenimax had denied Todd Howard's ideas for Morrowind?

  • when I was younger I always thought this game was crappy. Ima build a time machine, go back in time and slap my self in the face.

  • I love morrowind, but I still start laughing when I see any one walk...

  • i remeber getting morrowind when i was 8, and ended up getting lost and not knowing what to do after about 10 minutes :)

  • Pie

  • Morrowind has to be one of the greatest RPGs of that time and even till today.I know what the next gen(13-year-old),gamers might say."Bad graphics=bad game".If they do,they suck and they are all really gay.That games a masterpiece...Pity not many people remember it... :(

  • What is the best thing to do for viewers who want to challenge historical statements made in this series?

  • when the epic music hit, i had a nerdgasm

  • Am I the only one who got chills when the Morrowind theme started playing?

  • @hard2beatrainer No, I had chills when they played the theme too & i never played Morrowind but they set it up so nicely. This episode was well done.

  • 07:44 ... Is that Veriax? Interactive Morrowind?

  • awsome

  • Wait a minute. Shouldn't there be SOME mention of fallout in this? Other than one quick snappy line.

  • @babbies321 Why? TES is their main game franchise.

  • @zephrameliasfoster So? Many fans of fallout don't even know what TES are.

  • @babbies321 That's because they are stupid 9 year old fanboys who think guns are cool. TES is a classic fantasy RPG, fallout isn't. Don't get me wrong, I love Fallout. But people shouldn't be playing it unless thay know what a real RPG is. All I am saying is that TES is the franchise Bethesda is most proud of, and it got their company where it is today.

  • @zephrameliasfoster And all i'm saying is that you can't only talk about the main endeavour of a company. Microsoft focus on the PC market, that doesn't mean we should ignore the Xbox. Sony focus on the Playstations 1-3, that doesn't mean the PSP didn't exist.Lucasarts made star wars, that dosen't mean they didn't also make monkey island. No matter how important TES was, this is about bethesda as a whole. And fallout, Brink, RAGE, they're all a pert of that.

  • @babbies321 I understand what you mean completely. I just like TES better because it is a traditional Fantasy RPG. I love all RPG's, and all Bethesda games. TES is just my favorite.

  • Jeremy Soule's music is amazing.

  • 8:23 EPICNESS!

  • they sound just the same

  • Hey, I quite enjoy this series. Just going through companies, not just good stuff, excellent. I am hoping there is one on Micropose and the games MOO and Darklands and more.... there must be. :D Thanks! Tack!

  • he called it "scrolls" at 10:20

  • Get well soon, Rob Talbert!

  • there are so much more epic monsters in this than skyrim !!!

  • 05:07 it could be nice if they took all games into one and then make multiplayer :P

  • 5:34 ....AVATAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!

  • Morrowind, bitches. Bow down to the awesomeness of Morrowind!

  • @Warmaker01 It was an amazing game, definately. It was actually the first game I ever played, I got to try it out as a kid when we were visiting some relatives xD. I bought Oblivion and thought it was amazing, with the blocking and stuff in combat and NPCs talking to eachother randomly. The story problems could easily be fixed by mods. Now Skyrim has improved what I love about Oblivion.

  • this prototype ad is so fucking annoying. if they keep spamming prototype ads i wont buy the damn game 

  • I like this narrator

  • where is the dislike bar?

    

  • @rakshansharma its behind you.....

  • i got chills with the music

  • put ur love in ur game it would pay off unlike activision

  • @cavad definitely

  • I remember Morrowind on the Xbox. My older cousin got it for me but I didn't like it at first, it bored me until like a month later I got into it. Then I got it for the PC and my soul will always be thankful for that.

  • 1:26 DRAGON

  • All your History is so amazing.I love seeing the history of Bethesda history in such a gripping narration. I can't believe Bethesda had such a risky history.

  • @biggamefreak yeah i know, sad to think that the elderscrolls would never really "be" without todd, or the lead dev thingy for morrowwind and elderscrolls

  • @andylinkproductions It is only inspiring to see a small group of developers think of a neat idea and build upon what they have. They had to ask other companies for the resources and keep up with modern engines and hardware and have innovative designers. Bethesda has proven that they are an innovative company. Hopefully they can fix those Skyrim bugs. My game still crashes. It is such a genius game though.

  • @biggamefreak pc? mine doesnt, and its at 1.0.3? i thnk? or 1.3 idk but mines running fine, unless its on ps3 or xbox

  • @andylinkproductions Mine is PS3 and I have patch 1.03. My book shelves still don't work and I am prone to crashes. I also experience involuntary movement in the game. Please fix the game of the game of the year because this game is so brilliant.

  • 02:11 guy looks like David Beckham lol

  • You're very welcome and thank YOU!

    I love this show - it's easily one of my favorites on youtube at the moment, and I get excited every time there's a new one!

    I would suggest stopping the "cleverly named" thing with sequels, though. it's kinda played out.

  • @fiaccik

    Ohhhh no, The Elder Scrolls nowadays has a really dynamic combat system with magic and what not and is pretty satisfying

  • @corruptentity Arrow in the knee*

  • @Skoomax Arrow to the knee*

  • @MrJonas3211 Nope.

  • It makes me wish I was old enough to have gotten into video games when they were that young, that is when it would of been possible.

  • @abcdefg5347

    It is way more acessible and safer during those days.

    You're just crying >;3

  • @abcdefg5347 im 15 and i still play arena and daggerfall.

  • Comment removed

  • @abcdefg5347

    Its possible today, no matter how old are you.

    I myself am learning game programming right now, and the motivation for that is indie games... Just look at titles like flower, limbo, to the moon, minecraft, ect...

    And even if you won't be successful at that, its still cool to know programming and how computers work, Now its like my little hobby, I read books, watch videos online and teach myself. One day I hope to become game programmer, or at least just programmer.

    :)

  • Is in Elder Scrolls any fighting mechanic or there is the 'click-as-fast-as-you-can' rule only?

  • I would love the next Elder Scrolls game to be either Morrowind 2 or Elsweyr. While i played Oblivion i always wanted to go to explore the frozen tundras of Skyrim, because it reminded me of my own country, Norway. But it wasnt totaly the world i had hoped for but i still think its a greay game with a massive world to discover.

  • Khail is better tbh, and he sounds so differentt!

  • Say you took an arrow to the knee one more time. I fucking dare you!

  • @ThePleasleWeasle i took an arrow to the knee :D

  • @DziNeExOtcZ FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

  • @ThePleasleWeasle I used to listen to ThePleasleWeasle, Then I took a bad joke to the knee.

  • @TheTrueKir I see what you did there :D

  • lol im learning about The Elder Scrolls while playing Skyrim XD

  • Oh wow!. Congratulations on this anniversary, Nicolas!. I really love this series which I found.. yesterday?. It's everything I love. History and videogames!.

    Also kudos on the Morrowind episode.

    It really brings memories to me of when my brother bought it when it was released. He hated it, but I loved it. I couldn't play it 'cause it was his and when I got the chance to play it. I had over 100 hours of gameplay..

    it's still one of my favorite videogames and I'm happy to know it's yours too.=p

  • 10:33 lol chimneyswift in the text

  • @EricDragon08 from his lets play did you see it :D

  • @evilcake567 yea lol

  • One of the greatest aspects of Skyrim?

    It had environmental music from Morrowind \o/

  • I liked the other narrator =(

  • god i remember this game when it came out... morrowind. it was like opening your door and finding out ur crappy honda turned into a lambo.

  • see as tom howard almost runied the company.... i don't see why your praising him.....

  • @egan108 he didn't it was the company's bad business decisions that sank them. Todd Howard changed the focus and made morrowind which got them back on there feet. If anything he saved the company

  • @JohnnyKvatch the two games he made fucked them over cause they were bad and didnt sell....he headed the both of them

  • @egan108 he only headed redguard. It wasn't bad, it just had bad controls and was on DOS (every body was on vista by then) and it wasn't his decision to lead production. then he completely controlled morrowind (by his choice) and what the game sold VERY well and obtained high critical praise. It was also his decision to space out his games. until there finished. he is still lead director on Bethesda's game up to this day. and again the obtain high critical praise and sell well

  • @JohnnyKvatch >every body was on vista by then

    wat?

  • god bless Todd Howard.

  • Skyrim 5:09 :P

  • morrowind is The shit. The not the.

  • whem i hear "masterpiece", I think morrowind.... and kotor.

  • Thay should make a bethwsda anniverary game in which it has skyrims graphics and u can explore ALL of Tamriel

  • @legokid5872 you know how hard that is to code?

  • buy a jeep!!! you'll survive ww3

  • i like bethesda but i also love but i also love how they showed bungie's game myth cuz i love bungie

  • AmerrriCAAA!!!.... the only place on earth were we consider pizza as a vegetable!!!

  • @josh307c i think you might be the only one

  • @jinzodude i think im with him i eat loads of pizza and thank god its considered a vegetable

  • Man, I remember that exact battle at 1:18. Good times...

  • The only problem with Morrowind was the 16 piece armor sets......

    I just went unarmored

  • Remake Morrowind!!

  • Morrowwinds theme sounds so much like Skyrims theme, For The Dragonborn. Guess it´s true Skyrims theme was modeled after it.

  • @Greil9 every elder scrolls has the same theme just tweaked. skyrim is the elder scrolls theme sung by a barbarian choir. youtube search "The Sound Of Skyrim"

  • why u no talk about fallout yet

  • @idontcaremovies The first fallout game they made was fallout 3.

  • better narration IMO. the other guy is good, but for some reason he reminds me of a computer...

  • So Morrowind AKA the first Elder Scrolls game I played saved the company? Nice. I love that game even more now.

  • I usually just wait for an episode to finish and then I watch the whole thing in one sitting.

  • when Morrowind's song started to play...I had only one thought in my head...BADASS

  • Morrowind... still one of my favorite games

  • I wish you well Rob!

  • WAIT! 10:31 top of the text box ChimneySwift?!

  • Did the guy hit puberty or something?

  • God I love Morrowind. The music still sends shivers down my spine. Can't wait for Skyrim!

  • @SubKamran it's already out u stupid fucking retard piece of shit

  • 8:37 OVERLORD!!!!

    Call in the marines!!!!!

  • well at least they kept the rocks from Morrowind.

  • This is the highest rated video on machinima :D

  • This is the only GOOD show on machinima

  • @pecololek yes 

  • Morrowind was a horrible game.

  • @Hjhaberkorn Your mom was horrible in the bedroom

  • You could say that Bethesda....came back from the BRINK.

  • @nfire4 YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHH

  • Awww, I hate it when good videos have no top comment to make me laugh.

  • @Kelshmo1 chim

  • This needs to be in HD

  • what is the music called lol

  • SKYRIM 5:15 OMF-MOSES-G 

  • @italianstalian200 I'm assuming you just decided to want Skyrim because everyone else does, and you don't actually know what Skyrim is.

  • @PaulVorobyev dude, i've been playing elder scrolls for years. and dont tell me i want skyrim because of the bandwagon. I FUCKING WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME BECAUSE ITS FUCKING AWESOME. sorry if you think you are the only one who is allowed to like this game

  • WHY DIS VIDEO HAVE NO TOP COMMENT?!

  • It's great watching this show. You cover a lot of the games I played as a child and I've been waiting for you to do Bethesda for a while. Thanks guys, keep making videos and long live the Elderscrolls!

  • Bungie's Myth + Bethesda = Morrowind?

    Interesting...

  • Anyone else get goosebumps when the musical score kicked it? All the Elder Scrolls games are AWESOME but Morrowind is my favorite game of all time.

  • Also, I see that the top comment was taken down. I guess couple of butt-hurt Oblivion fans couldn't take the fact that the majority found Morrowind to be the better game. Crybabies.

  • Comment removed

  • did he just call me gamer nerd i just like bethesda

  • @2113skiddles congratz on the terrible sentence structure. You seem to fit in nicely.

  • @2113skiddles and on a side note, no he didn't...

  • i love this series!

  • I played arena got fat then lost weight played daggerfall got fat lost weight saw morrowind played less because the girls dorm didnt have any cameras. then later in my life i get hit by two things on the same day Christmas my bestfreind rememberd how much i played bethesda game. Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.

  • We all love you guys at All your history!

  • Morrowind changed everything I knew about what made a good RPG. Still holds up in 2011 as one of the best ever made. :)

  • @UrbanroguePictures Yeah great game Morrowind... 1)tons of NPC's (that have no backround story, no personality, wander around aimlesly day and night, giving the same answers to questions like "my trade" or "latest rumors" . 2) tons of dungeons. Dweomer and Daedric ruins, caves and Ancestral Tombs. 4 presets of dungeons, diferent names. 3) Huge world. Huge but repetitive and hastily made.

  • @rzaracheta You make valid points, and I can't say I disagree, but Morrowind was the first Elder Scrolls game I had ever played and definitely the first "open world" game I had been introduced to. It will always hold a special place in my heart. :)

  • I admit though, the first week I played Morrowind I was like " This is the best game EVAH!" wanted to explore the whole map and know everything about it. After a while I saw it for what it is ... a mediocre game. Maybe thats just me, im the kind of person that likes a game to be immersive and wih interesting characters in it. Compered to Gothic where i can name (Diego, Lee, Lester, Lares, Gorn, Milten, Gomez etc.)... In Morrowind nobody remained in my head except Vivec and Dagoth Ur.

  • Hey, man, if I were an Executive Producer, I would get you on History Channel.

  • The f*ck is this? Where is that awesome voice? I watch this show just to listen to it.

  • I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause I will travel across the land, searching far and wide Each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside Pokemon gotta catch 'em all It's you and me I know it's my destiny Pokemon Oh you're my best friend In a world we must defend Pokemon Gotta catch 'em all A heart so true Our courage will pull us through You teach me and I'll teach you Pokemon Gotta Catch Em All Gotta Catch Em All Pokemon
  • All your history is definitely the best show on machinima right after RCVR

  • i remember starting up morrowind for the first time when i was 5 and going WOAH and shouting my brother :D

  • Brilliant vid!

  • No matter the argument. Morrowind was a character rpg fps you could live in that world.

    Oblivion and skyrim is garbage. They are dropping down into a casm of infinite stupidity by making the same mistakes as redguard and battlespire.

    Shame on you bethesda. Shame...on...you =/

    It is one thing to make a mistake. But to go out of your way to fuck yourself up the ass is retarded. Computer gaming will always be the better platform not a shitbox console for no brainer crowds

    FO3 was good at least.

  • @WildBuck007 Do you know why Redguard and Battlespire actually sucked? They removed the open world freedom of the previous games in favour of a more linear title.

    The reason this was stupid was because it wasn't what consumers wanted... But consumers do want Skyrim, making COD isn't stupid, it's incredibly smart. Whether the game sucks or not is subjective, it makes money. That's all that matters.

  • @Axeldeath0

    I don't mind innovation. But what really pisses me off about these games lately is the game has this epic huge group of features that can easily be used over and over again. Then they drop it altogether.

    Like...ok Morrowind saves their company. So what do they do for the next game? Make it everything BUT the very thing that made their savior popular in the first place.

    Whats so hard about taking the exact system and just making it look better without the bugs? Go figure.

  • @WildBuck007 By 2011 Morrowind had sold 1.8 million. Within the first year Oblivion broke 1.7 million.

    They obviously chose the best option.

  • @Axeldeath0 So basically - "OBLIVION IS BETTER BECAUSE IT WAS MADE EASIER TO PLAY FOR PEOPLE NOT INTO RPGS AND THE PRODUCTION VALUES WERE HIGHER AND IT WAS RELEASED ON THREE PLATFORMS INSTEAD OF TWO".

    Game sales drop significantly over time. I would be surprised if Oblivion sales hit 10k per year, two years after release. All you have to do is look at the modding community. Much stronger than Oblivion's. Oblivion's basically exists to fix it's issues. True facts. You're wrong, mate.

  • @krake1991 Actually it continued to sell to upwards of 3.5 million copies on all platforms.

    Oblivion was better because it was more accessible, just because you like old school RPGs doesn't mean all "real" gamers do. In the end it all comes down to your personal taste in games, in my opinion Oblivion was the far superior game. I don't care if you think I'm "casual", Bethesda made the best decision by making the game more open as it appealed to a larger audience and got them way more money.

  • @Axeldeath0 If you want to look at it that way. My issue was with your saying it was no less an rpg than Morrowind, and that it was just as deep. The better game is subjective ( I don't see it). What can be argued is the overall complexity of them both, and nothing about Oblivion works for me in that respect. Fair enough?

  • @krake1991 Actually scratch that, on the Xbox 360 alone it sold upwards of 3.5 million copies.

  • @Axeldeath0 Stop with the sales numbers though. Sales don't mean shit.. When classics like Psychonauts, Planescape:Torment, and the Shenmue series fail to find an audience, but like CoD who do nothing but pool from the same formula year after year sell more than all other big games combined, there is an issue with sales figures to quality.

  • @krake1991 Are you seriously not reading what I am typing? Whether a game is good or not is entirely subjective, there is no issue with sales figure to quality because you cannot measure how good a game is. The only thing that matters to a company is whether people will buy it.
