wyattdetherow6853: funny story, i never played the original morrowind but its one of my best friends favorites, and when i told him that i beat the Morrowind story in ESO and i "Helped vivec gain his power again!" i saw the look of death in that mans eyes and all he said was, "You helped vivec?"
dxk65: Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but the Morrowind chapter is the first part of "The Daedric Wars" storyline, part 2 is The Clockwork City, and part 3 is Summerset.
TyroneTheBest: Here, have some free engagement so morrowind content doesn't die
AndreasDenkste: As to Azura: The prophecy of the Nerevarine is her doing by virtue of Azura being actually a daedra able to see the future, making her said Daedra of prophecy. As such, she would know, that it is not the time that Vivec would die. Also: Don't forget there's still good ol' Dagoth Ur being immortal. It's not that she needs someone to kill Vivec. Dagoth Ur will be the one to weaken the Tribunal by tapping in to the heart of Lorkhan. She needs the Nerevarine to kill Dagoth Ur!
lamedrawings: The telvanni being so polite is funny to me, like only 3 Telvanni wizards treat you nicely in Morrowind, everyone else is either indifferent, hates your guts, crazy or a mix of all of these. 2 of those Telvanni are more imperialised while the other one is Divayth Fyr.
exovian489: It's interesting that you call out Balmora as being bigger in ESO, because it's actually substantially smaller than in TES3. Perception is kind of wild that way.
thedrake5072: Also You gotta Do Clockwork City man... Rule of thumb, the smaller expansions are usually about 30% better than the large expansion preceeding it
cami5173: just got here but im putting my vote in the hat for clockwork city content!
PaperFlare: Regarding Chodola:

The real answer is that the ESO team wanted to include a false incarnate as a character in the Morrowind story, and so they picked the one who was a warlord (aka an actual combatant) rather than the collection of goobers that were the other incarnates.

Lore answer: anyone can claim to be the Nerevarine, but to become a false incarnate, at least one of the ashlander tribes has to accept your claim. And in order for a tribe to accept your claim, you need to fulfill enough of the prophecies to catch their eye, AND ALSO be on friendly terms with said tribe.

Until the events of Morrowind (tes 3), only one tribe even humored the prophecy as anything to take merit in - the Urshilaku - meaning any other tribe would laugh at claims of being the Nerevarine until someone got the blessings of the Urshilaku. Chodola, as an Ashkhan, was in a unique position to declare himself
thenotown775: I’m commenting solely for the algorithm. Your content is fantastic. I genuinely get excited to see you post an eso video.
zonty2362: 27 here, started with oblivion just like you. I haven't tried any of the older games, but have jumped into morrowind because of your videos. It gives me such a feeling of nostalgia watching your videos, thank you.
Izib954: Summerset was actually my first DLC I played ESO with, which because of the way ESO starts you on the latest chapter meant I completed that storyline before going back for Morrowind. It gave the Morrowind chapter an interesting foreboding vibe as I already knew the final outcome of several storylines.

I find ESO lore and setting to be on the whole the closest to TES3 in tone and uniqueness of the 3D era Elder Scrolls games, especially when you keep in mind the limitations of the MMO medium. The writers clearly have the freedom to explore some of the more esoteric aspects of the Elder Scrolls without concerns about broad audience appeal. That said some of the earlier zones are a bit rougher and they were clearly stretched for resources in the base release. I wish they'd left a part of Valenwood out of the base game so they could cover it in-depth in a later dedicated DLC, comparing the Summerset and Elsweyr DLCs to the small parts of those provinces included in the base ESO release is night-and-day quality wise.
PowerMadLabRat: Silt Striders don't go to every location. Think of them like a bus or a train, sometimes you have to get more than one.
MadMajora: Started watching your morrowind videos yesterday so this came out at a perfect time
mikewood8815: The insults are part of what make Morrowind so great N'wha, just use the mod S'wit, it is what you deserve Fetcher

(Mod: S/W/I/T/ Scornfully Wielded Insults and Taunts) (for OG Morrowind ofc, not ESO)
kacperlesniewski9035: The weird stuff:

1. I think it is realted to stuff happening later in ESO Clockwork City and Summerset. Let just say the mess happening there, is way more important than the Azuras dislike towards the False Gods.

2. If I recall correctly, Chodala, before all of this mess, had an status of an hero among Dunmers. In fact he and his people took part in fight against Kamal in 2E 572, so in a way he helped creating Ebonheart Pact. Also he was considered as the most respected Ashlander in Morrowind. So I think the buried him mostly for what he did before he betrayal.

3. You will have the answers in DLCs Clockwork City and Summerset
lisandra5330: Morrowind is my favorite chapter of ESO, the writing is spectacular. Both Balmora storylines literally made me cry. Later on in Summerset, we have a surprising encounter with a character from one of those stories and that Summerset story made me cry even more. I think the ESO writing began to decline after that and has picked up again since High Isle, but not quite as moving as before.
lize-marieswan8466: I really loved the story of veya! I think this was peak writing for me in eso. She does come back in a significant role in Summerset that made you wish you killed her the first time, but i’ll leave it here ;P
cursedmonkey1033: I long for a Morrowind remake and while playing this i couldn't help but think what o no-brainer it is for these guys to just do it. Look at the work they've already done.

Its great to see young people playing and appreciating Morrowind. The more it happens the greater the chance, i feel that some exec in some office somewhere will take notice.
kreadapelu8813: If memory serves me, ESO Morrowind occurs around the time Almsivi (Almalexia, Sotha Sil, Vivec)made a deal with the Deadra Princes. The Deadra were probing for weaknesses they can exploit to subvert the Tribunal.

No idea why Azura is not still seething with hatred at Almsivi, they murdered her chose out of greed.

Sotha Sil is the consummate Telvani, the Dwemer enthusiast works magic and science together on the same scale of the Dwemer. The Dwemer were on the same level as the Deadra just before they went poof. That’s a lot of power in the hands of a mortal god.

At the time of ESO, Dagoth Ur should not even exist (anymore). He previously found out that his entire universe is the dream of the godhead… by the time of Elder Scrolls III, Dagoth Ur, like Deadpool, decided he does not care that he is imaginary and he exists (again) anyways.
elti5740: We finally get to go inside Holomayan in ESO during the prologue quest for Gold Road. If you like TES lore, that (free) prologue quest is worth it.
