Infinite Levels, Movable Merchants, and More - These Spells Break All The Rules!

As an alternative to moving an npc outside their shop, Telekinesis from behind a pillar while sneaking would be a lot cheaper mana wise. Or making a potion using Scuttle and Bone Meal.

Morrowind really is made by its wacky magic. Doing a 0-magic playthrough the game is quite bland. But the freedom offered by taking just one or two schools of magic is what makes this game, well, magical.

If you're playing on xbox for some reason or want to break the game using only in game glitches and not using console commands there's a strange spell interaction glitch you can abuse.

If you create a fortify skill or attribute on self spell combined with soul trap on target then aim it at the bottom of a wall for some reason it permanently increases your attribute or skill by the value cast. I have absolutely no idea why this works but it can be hilarious being a level 1 character with 1000 speed and 1000 acrobatics just zooming around and occasionally crashing your game

I try to move Creeper, but he does not move after spell is active. Any ideas why?

Ah, the ol' drain & train.

These are great, I love your terminator strategy, and drain-to-train really helps with those last few skill levels! I love that lamp shade too, btw!

I find it funny how imperio is an unforgivable curse. But in morrowind everyonr is like sure. Yup this is fine :)

Once you get far enough you can bring merchants and sell them a lot of loot and earn like 50k a day

I used command creature to bring unique guars to party with Caius. There's one near Pelagiad, which doesn't attack you and doesn't despawn. Then there's that one merchant near Vivec which has that pack Guar (Rollo maybe??). Grande finale would be White Guar. There might have been one more I don't remember now.

Bro soul trap is the most broken spell in the game hands down

Surely there is a mod for OpenMW that removes level caps so that you can get as powerful as the default game allows with glitches.

Wow.. So basically you can put a silt strider person within temples for integration with divine intervention!

My "completely nuts magic" moment in Morrowind happened in 2003-2004. My best pal in school droppes by my place claiming he discovered smth amazing. He proceeded to make a strange spell - just 10 dmg for 1 sec but... he set the area to 100. Then he levitated my character above Balmora and shot the fireball onto the town square. My jaw subsequently dropped as I watched the nuclear explosion unfold whilst hearing curses from numerous denizens below...

good times, good times! :)

Honestly, finding things like this is what makes being a mage in Morrowind rewarding. This is what researching magic should feel like, finding new and interesting uses for existing spells and creating new spells optimized for the function you discovered.

About command humanoid have you thought about using it in your vampire character to trade and talk with people or it doesn't work

Back in the day, I had this very strange thing happen in Morrowind. Namely, I used the Scroll of Icarian Flight in Vivec, right bellow the Ministry of Truth, and jumped. The floating rock stopped my progression but I sort of slowed down in mid air, like a feather effect, and my Athletics was increased to 1041 (by 1000 points). Any idea as to what had happened?

I used "command humanoid" on 2 of the dancers at the House of Earthly Delights. I moved them to my mansion I commandeered in Caldera. The mansion is stocked with limeware and brandy and the best of clothing in all the dressers. It's one of my homebases. The other two are on the frozen island as the Factors Home and Castle Karstag. : )

I knew I could command and pull the Cammonna Tong members in the Balmora Council club one at a time but now I have an absolutely dastardly way to complete the 'little story' mission :D

i have tried EVERYTHING even with cheats its not possible to lure the creeper merchant. How the fuck am i supposed to do this, i even looked his id up, he is lvl 5, so i make a spell for lvl 5 to command 10 seconds and nothing happens

These were all SOLID GOLD tips when i first played in 2003 ... the Telekinesis doors is champ moves. I really hoped that making a constant effect TK item was going to give me extra on touch spell reach .. but it doesn't do that. That would have been METAL

Way back when my brother and I still played on original Xbox we used that exploit to train our skills up.

When you said "casting Frenzy is not a crime" my mind started racing.
Can't believe I never tried moving merchants before. 10/10 video.

seriously, I don't use Chameleon in any game because it is way overpowered.

Well, it's not like Morrowind was designed to be played without breaking it. A wise man once said "Forget any notion of fair play or balance. If you can exploit something, you should. Because the alternative is being tapped by a bandit carrying an enchanted twig that paralyzes you for ten seconds straight per strike. The game mechanics are bullshit. Either you adapt to it and bask in its ridiculous glory and enjoy yourself, or you refuse to learn, die horribly, and complain."

Which honestly reminds me of people who use mods to change the game in ways you can change yourself by raising your stats and skills like a normal person.

Don't forget about the glitch that can permanently increase your speed. You can really zoom like Sonic The Hedgehog with this one.

How do you go how do you go by getting cheap training

Here I am, learning about these exploits and thinking prior to this that alchemy is already insanely easy to exploit.
This is incredible yet ridiculous.

A couple of things I learned was if you have 100% chameleon, NPCs think you are a ghost and you can't buy stuff. If you have the boots of blinding speed, you can see with enough magic resistance.

Can you do a couple morrowind playthroughs in ways you find funny or really enjoy. One of my favorites was a one punch build maxed strength and fortified hand to hand and one punched everyone😅

I never used command because I assumed it would make people hostile...turns out it's the best spell in the game -.-

this is fantastic. I have obviously been playing this game witn innovation blinkers securely fastened to my brain. Thanks for the great video and ideas!😎🖖🏼

Command spell on a Creeper and good 'ol crab merchant is genius, why i never did that in all this years?!

I really dislike that OpenMW doesn’t at least have options to allow the cheesiest exploits, they’re so fun.

Yea sure its soo smart patching out drain spell from open mw..... sure because im certain some first time noob did just that in their first 4 minutes off balmora (you can buy drain spell in the fort near balmora too in the prison i think.).
Now let them just patch out alchemy as a whole and enchanting and maybe just port the fucking perk system from skyrim to really make playing morrowind pointless.
Good thing i have the base game and i do not need to play by some idiots "patches" to exploits I NEED TO CHOOSE TO MAKE.
Making "patches" to exploits that benefit the player that MUST CHOOSE TO DO THEM while there is still many other gamebreaking bugs that can happen because its bethesda game is idiotic and i don;'t really see how people are ok with that.

The soul trap exploit!
Maybe you don't know about it... It might only work in vanilla... I used to use it on my original Xbox. soul trap on target mixed with any stat increase for 1 second.
Look down at your feet when you cast it. It works with conjuration too.

I sneak sleep in beds

Yes Coffeenut, read to me the sacred knowledge of the scrolls.

There's a reason the Telvanni are left alone.

Aryon’s Dominator is such a good item.😂

Games need to stop worrying about perfect balance, broken shit like Morrowind has is fun. Freedom is fun.

If it is possible to do within the system, does it still count as breaking the game? I would think breaking the game would be modifying important code that causes the game to crash.

Penultimate means second to last, and not last

And here I thought I was being smart getting a 1 second Fortify mercantile and speechraft for 100.

It's the CHEEZE that makes it fun!

Just tried to lead mudcrab merchant to Suran. He stuck at the gates. Fat.

this is a really great channel, focusing almost entirely on the function of the game and leaving the lore of interpersonal and interfactional conflicts up to the player to learn more about in game

Really cruel teaching people to rob Nalcarya.

She has an amazing amount of gold, has a low enough mercantile skill that you'll quickly be scamming her for much more than things are worth, and buys Alchemy ingredients which are some of the most efficient weight-to-value items in the game. It's bad enough the Thieve's Guild cons you into stealing her diamonds so that she'll aggro on you any time you try and offload your own onto her, and here you are showing people how to make her slap you for selling potions too!

10/10 troll. Keep up the good work.

If you make any spell and add soul trap on target for 3 seconds, look down and cast it, the spell lasts forever.
For example i cast summon golden Saint for 3 seconds and soul trap on target for 3 seconds, look straight down and cast it.... golden Saint is with me until it dies.
I now have summon small army spell where I summon the top 7 most powerful creatures and they follow me everywhere

I'm sure it's been said, but one easy way to transport the mudcrab merchant is to move a fast travel NPC to him via command humanoid, casting command creature on the mudcrab merchant, then talking to the NPC and having them transport all three of you wherever you want to go. It's a much more magically economic option than buffing the mudcrab's speed for such a long duration.

To go even further on being economic, you don't even need to cast command consistently to get an npc to follow you. So long as you're not heading through load zones, you can aggro an NPC via Frenzy and they'll hone in on you pretty much indefinitely, the Frenzy spell doesn't even need to last for longer than a second or two. This has the added benefit that the NPC doesn't generally try to defend you either, so you don't have to contend with your escort stopping every 20 feet to challenge a cliff racer to honorable combat. And when you want the NPC to stop trying to tickle your ribcage with their iron dagger, you can cast command to break aggro or drag them through a load zone. Magic has so many utilities in Morrowind, but not everyone is a mage. Thankfully a well crafted spell can break the game for the low cost of ~20 magicka pretty much right out of the gate.

I found that after maybe 10x doing the drain to train glitch, they just started charging more each time, went from 1gp up to 200gp in no time, have i stuffed this glitch up?
