For me, the vampirism in Morrowind is the best representation of vampirism in TES, because in Morrowind you FEEL that you're a cursed monster, you FEEL that being a vampire is suffering and pain, you're not an undead superhero, you're a bloodthirsty abomination.

1:17 Daggerfall have, and its fucking powerfull, in daggerfall when you infected by vampire, you will not die but after quite while the game over screen pops up and you will respawn in a random crypt. The vampires also have some factions on it depending on where did you get vamprism which make the thing more interesting. The advantages are based on your faction, so you will get different buff with different faction, they will also give you a quest and you will mostly travel at night because during the day you cant rest. Also you cant fast travel during the day so you have to make sure you always on night. Also since you die during the process all your reputation in different region will start from zero. So yeah pretty cool

In Morrowind, Drain Stat spells are temporary debuffs. We've already realized this. Now, what will happen if you cast Drain Intelligence 100pts for 1 second on Self? Bonus points if you know all the effects that will happen when you have a Fortify Intelligence effect running that boosts your Int over 100 pts when you cast this spell... without a mod that fixes how Fortify Stat effects work. Hint: it's my favorite spell in the game.

Honestly even when it came out, it was a totally unique experience. It’s best to look at it in context of when it released. We were used to lots of turn based rpgs like Pokémon and Final fantasy and all kinds of dnd like dungeon crawlers. So Morrowind is “turn based” dice rolls plus physics, and that added another dimension to a conventional rpg. Even later game’s basically just reduced that down to “action game” with fantasy elements like Skyrim. So Morrowind is really the only Elder Scrolls game that is a totally unique game and play style. Daggerfall and Arena were just dnd clones, and Oblivion and Skyrim leaned into more accessible fantasy games, but Morrowind is truly a different system altogether. So even then it was a unique game that took getting used to its quirks.

I don't think any languages exist that use WW anywhere, mostly because the letter is a pretty recent addition to the latin alphabet and is in fact on it's own already the result of a double letter, the U, it's in the English name for the letter even. Tough, why Double U when it clearly looks like two double V? That's because they used to be one letter, and you just had to know how wether it represented a /u/ or a /v/ sound depending on where it was in the word, and for some reason the V was used at the start of a word, but u anywhere else in a word. The double-U or W came into existence when the during the early medieval period there was a need to represent a letter/sound used in the then Germanic languages, the /w/ sound, that was not represented in the latin alphabet, so they decided to represent that sound with VV/uu , which over time merged into a the W/w we know and love today, tough it wasn't really recognised as a real separate letter until the 16th century or so. It gets funny tough, if you follow the evolution of the alphabet far enough, the letter V was adapted by the Romans from the Greek Y (they just cut off the stem) tough in Greek it originally only represented the /u/ sound, hence why the letter is called Upsilon. But the Greek took the Y from the Phoenician Y (it's looks more like a U on top of a I but I can't type that here) which was know as the letter Waw... representing the /w/ sound. Ironically, the Greek did make use of a letter representing the /w/ sound, the letter Ϝ (digamma), but that sound disappeared from their spoken language and the letter fell out of use outside of their numerical system. However when the romans came plundering the Greek alphabet they took that Ϝ, tough they had no need for the /w/ sound (and nobody really knew about that anymore) they did have need for a letter for the /f/ sound so they made F. Anyway, way back a letter looking very much like the Y represented the /w/ sound, and trough all kind of shenanigans the letter evolved, split of several times and a new variant came into being to represent the same sound that it originally represented. Maybe it's just autism in me that finds that incredibly interesting and kind of funny.

@JustBackgroundNoise
7 ай бұрын
So, there are two scripting commands. ModHealth and ModCurrentHealth. Originally, equipping wraithguard does the former and does permanent health damage. After Yagrum works his magic, the journal says " If I am in perfect health, and I have fortified my health as much as possible, there is a good chance I will survive. But I MUST fortify my health as much as possible beforehand." If it was supposed to be a permanent loss, you'd think Yagrum would specify that. Since the commands are so similar, it's reasonable to assume there was a scripting error. It makes even more sense since this isn't really the intended means of beating the game. It probably wasn't tested that much.

I'm sure someone else has already mentioned it in the comments, but while Arena didn't have Vampirism, Daggerfall did, and it's exactly what you'd expect out of that game: kind of cool, kind of weird, kind of jank as hell. See, the whole 'vampire clan' thing was Daggerfall's primary vampire draw. There were, like, nine bloodlines in Daggerfall, with each little region of the map being dedicated to one of those clans. The clans essentially functioned as another form of "guild", and they had their whole little batch of quests you could undertake. Vampires in DG came with the usual slate of stat boosts, skill boosts, some spells and immunities, and each clan also had a unique bonus, similar to MW. Unfortunately, Daggerfall's clan bonuses were mostly just extra spells (one clan even gave you a Free Action spell, even though vampires can't get paralyzed in the first place!). And on top of that, they had the requisite vulnerability to sunlight/holy areas, so you'd take 12 damage every 20 real-life seconds if you were standing outside during the day, in a temple, or in a Fighters Guild in Hammerfell. I believe the fast-travel system accounted for this, at least? But it's still inconvenient, to say the least. Even more troublesome is the fact that, when you become a vampire, you quite literally "die" and get revived. Were you a high-ranking master of the Fighters Guild? Were you in the middle of a quest for the Dark Brotherhood? Too bad! Vampirism resets your reputation and revokes all your guild memberships (because they thought you died, remember?), and if that means you were kicked out of a one-time-only guild... well, uh, too bad again! Basically, vampirism sounds cool and is kinda interesting, but much like in the rest of the series, it's more of a novelty than anything. Daggerfall's Lycanthropy is even less fleshed-out -- no clans, no unique were-quests -- but ironically it was arguably more practical. Being a were-creature didn't reset your reputation, the stat/skill boosts applied to human form as well, and if you did Hircine's quest, the ring basically nullified all the disadvantages (no need to kill innocents, no involuntary transformations).
@qwesx
7 ай бұрын
You're right, Daggerfall's fast travel system will make vampires take twice the normal travel time, prevent initiating fast-travel during the day and will make vampires arrive at nightfall when traveling cautiously (instead of in the morning). It's a bad idea for low-level vampires to travel recklessly as well, since you could arrive at your destination at high noon. I feel it's still kind of cool from a role-playing perspective - just get it early on and don't get cured... Lycanthropy is properly busted though. Everything you do as a werewolf/-boar is treated as a separate entity (crimes you commit as a werecreature are not reflected on your character) and Illiac Bay citizens apparently do not grasp the concept of object permanence, so even if you transform into or back from a werecreature right before their eyes they don't realize it's you. And, as you mentioned, with Hircine's Ring your get all of the advantages with none of the disadvantages. If you think Daggerfall is too hard then just become a werewolf or wereboar.
@ExplosiveLasers

I did a playthrough as a vampire in Daggerfall, and it added a lot of fun elements to the game different from the norm. It's very powerful and adds unique challenges to get around (for example, I made a strong health shield spell to get around during the day PURELY so that I could visit the bank, since banks have daylight business hours). The clans vary heavily in how outrageous they are. I was a Haarvenu clan vampire from Anticlere, which means my clan spells were Ice Storm and Wildfire. Since they're AoE damaging spells and you cast clan spells for half their normal magicka cost, I could cast them on the ground in front of me and my spell absorption would replenish my magicka more than the cost of the spell. It made for an absolutely ludicrous battlemage build. Infinite, powerful destruction spells. The big benefit to vampires over lycanthropes, in my opinion, is that vampires can sate their bloodlust by killing any living creature (including animals and non-undead dungeon enemies), whereas lycanthropes HAVE to kill innocents (like guards or civilians). The penalty for not doing it is also less of a problem for vampires. Ignoring the morality, it's just a bit more annoying to deal with. Additionally, lycanthropes can't loot or anything while they're transformed, which is annoying while dungeon crawling.

People will probably get flak from morrowind purists, but I have always just pinned the map in the inventory menu to be perma on screen. Makes walking across the map significantly more bearable, especially since you dont have to open the inventory every 30 seconds to make sure you arent deviating. This feature, by the way, is in the BASE GAME. I never see anybody use it, but it really makes traveling by foot easier mentally

@buildinasentry1046 Right???? I was about 50 hours into my first playthrough and wondered, "why does this part of the tab have a little divot?" It wasnt for ANOTHER 50 that I actually put it together in my head, once I firgured out that resizing the inventory menus is also a thing. I know I'm not the ONLY person to discover this stuff, certainly not. But it felt damn good to discover them without help🤣

But I like that they make you work for it instead. Like the ultimate vampire would learn charm and master their personality and therefore would have no problem talking to people with 100 disposition. But it assumes normal people are not automatically as suave as Dracula, and I think that’s more realistic. Like the normal person is the norm and they don’t handle the transition well nor are they hundreds of years into the transformation and fully able to capitalize on the benefits.

"They don't like vampires" Considering the moment your vampire showed up in Balmora he murdered like, 4/5 merchants and a guard, I THINK they have a reason. (Also loved the disrespectful shiv to Dagoth Ur's liver as you ran past him at the end)

That's the point where separate brightness, contrast and gamma sliders come in handy. With some work you can keep the black black, the white white, the mids colorful and not washed out, and yet make the dark areas much more visible.

"and they say Morrowind doesn't have fast travel" Who says that? Morrowind has striders, boats, mage teleportation, propylon chambers, intervention teleportation, and Mark/Recall. And you can always jump 20 miles with scrolls they give you right at the start of the game. Morrowind has the absolute best fast travel, since there are a ton of options and they're all immersive in the game.

I hard agree, I like when games make you work for Fast Travel, one of my favorite things about the first Dark Souls as opposed to later entries is how late in the game portalling between bonfires is unlocked, before that it's all shortcuts and tricks, which once you're familiar with you can navigate the world quite quickly.

I sub’d for multiple reasons. First, you’re playing Morrowind and I grew up playing the game and LOVED it. Second, the cat bit to ask everyone to sub. I get annoyed when people constantly ask for people to like and subscribe. The way you went about it was funny and great! And third, you mentioned Welsh when you were talking about double-W’s! I was going to comment that but heard you say it so couldn’t help but chuckle. Great video! I am VERY much looking forward to any and all new Morrowind vids from you (among everything else. But Morrowind has a special place in my heart).

Vampirism exists in Daggerfall, and it's pretty busted, not as much as Lycanthropy though. Also the way it's treated is quite unique - you get a creepy dream in animated cutscene form until you literally die when you first transform. You lose all reputation and get expelled from every guild (because... duh, you're dead bozo), and wake up in a random crypt where you got buried with your possessions. Welcome to the world of unliving.
