• 04:00 - 04:30 yeah and skip the cutscene all right first of all because I'm playing with mods and things don't quite the work work how they should I have to keep changing this this volume a little bit annoying and even though I've done that now it won't keep it for next time so next time I start recording ideas again
• 04:30 - 05:00 but don't worry I will do it off air my PC does run the game pretty well got it on max settings apart from I've turned self shadows off and my I'm using a TI so I can't use HD our lighting or is it that I'm using until the sink so I can't use HDR with an ATI graphics card I think that's it anyway so I got blue one okay now it should be fine right we're going to be an imperial we're going to
• 05:00 - 05:30 be called dari ax yeah an imperial now I know that Imperials are the most kick-ass overpowered rigs you can possibly be in the game I should probably be a nod if I wanted to do that Ling's er as a warrior class but no it's for role-playing purposes I'm not all that concerned about becoming the the almighty god that you can be in these games as quickly as possible I'm just
• 05:30 - 06:00 going to play the character and he's an imperial as I said he has been a member of the Imperial Legion for about 12 maybe 15 years and he was born in Danville his parents died quite early on and so he joined the Imperial Legion and he did several tours around LAN mess I apologize I forget his name in in places
• 06:00 - 06:30 well everywhere really I guess and he got into a bit of trouble once he probably got into got drunk and maybe here in office there or something so he was sent up to cells time where he was stationed at Fort Frost moth and he was there for a number of years and what happened to him there was that's he got sick he was probably bitten by by a wolf
• 06:30 - 07:00 or some other creature and he got a disease which he almost died for from and he was bedridden for four weeks months and this severely weakened him which explains that why when we start this game he's he's level one and he was in bed for so much Nia weakened him so much that he was actually discharged from from the Imperial Legion so what happened was that when he got better he was he was part of boats and he was
• 07:00 - 07:30 taken round Morrowind and around the Black Marsh and up into the mouth of the Nibin in Sura Dell and that's where we join him so that's a good enough face eyes hidden a face for him natural works as well we'll give him blue eyes now I carry two I imagine is about about thirty years old and he said like a hard life so a couple couple of
• 07:30 - 08:00 weathered lines in his face looks about right we won't be spending a lot of time looking at his face so it's not really too much of a concern but we'll do it out of completeness now he sure as hell doesn't have a tan and that's about right yeah so DVD Imperial all right now some mods are going to kick in she'll just have to wait for this just takes it to us
• 08:00 - 08:30 okay I'll go through the mods dozen when they they come up so the first part we see here is the alternative start mod where we style on a boat and we can arrive at various areas within the game and it skips that first dungeon with the Emperor and if it done all that so I can safely ignore the main quest we will be hearing about this assassination from from people talking about the murder but
• 08:30 - 09:00 that's all we're going to hear about it we're not going to have anything to do with someone assassinated the emperor is terrible and it's great to be Imperial Legion and all that but we're having nothing to do with it I'm afraid we've got to fill out our immigration forms so that's what we'll do we'll pick up both sign now variax was born under the sign of the ritual which gives him restore health spite resistance to disease now they didn't much good insults time and I
• 09:00 - 09:30 can actually turn on dead as well again I know that maybe the warrior or the lady would beat would be a better pick from a gameplay a point of view but no he was actually born under design of the ritual that's his character yes I am sure thank you very much well do our class so how important pick that character but then matters too much in
