A Morrowind Retrospective: Part 4: Politics
74The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind is a hell of a game, probably one of my favorite Elder Scrolls games, and by a lot. It has an energy to it that Oblivion and Skyrim just don't really capture in the same way, and that is a shame. This Morrowind Retrospective series should sum up my feelings about whether Morrowind still holds up and how it has aged.
I have a patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DosBueno, and I would really appreciate any support y'all want to send me. Times are tight and my wallet is thin, so I will never miss an opportunity to beg for money.
I am gonna be less nice than a lot of review series, but unlike most people giving more harsh critique of Morrowind, I am an actual Morrowind superfan. A lot of people are coming at Morrowind without really understanding how the game works or what the appeal is, and people who are not really passionate about the game tend to have very, very bad takes about it.
On the other hand, there is also a bit of a counter trend in the community to be overly elitist about Morrowind, and assume that being able to understand what is at it's heart a simple to understand, but very poorly explained, game makes them better than everyone else. This is not great, because in order for the community to grow and for us to generate enough demand for some sort of Morrowind throwback, we need to actually bring new blood in and talk about things like they are in the current day.
I used to have a discord I would publicly link here, and I mentioned it in the video, but the discord is going Patron only due to a massive surge in people joining, being rampagingly homophobic, and then getting banned. I like having the discord and I like the community, but putting up a 1 dollar barrier to entry should get rid of the worse of it.
Description reading mega-goblins, now is the time to type your "Dagoth Ur really Kwaa's my Flanenzerg" in the comments below. The more we do it, the more amusing it gets.
Cool Morrowind Fun Fact: To beat Bloodmoon, you have to dehumanize yourself and face the violence.
I would like to give a bit of a Shout-out to Mandalore Gaming for that one video he did years ago on how to make video game content on youtube. Genuinely remembering that video and rewatching it gave me the motivation to do this content pivot.
I also want to thank everyone who subscribed to this random meme channel. I am hoping I can bring a better perspective to the TES community, and generally be a positive influence on the discussion. Things have been locked in some demonic echo chamber since 2016 or so and I hate it.
Also, trans rights are human rights.
Cheers.
