First-person WRPG and third mainline entry in the Elder Scrolls franchise in which the player arrives in the island of Vvardenfell, an exotic land plagued by disease-carrying storms and ruled by a godly Tribunal, in the Morrowind province of Tamriel, and takes part in the prophecy foretelling the second coming of Nerevar, who will supposedly save Morrowind from malicious clans both within and outside Vvardenfell.
A prisoner of the Empire is released from custody and sent by ship to the island district of Vvardenfell in the province of Morrowind. Bearing instructions from the Emperor himself, the newcomer is directed to make contact with a secretive order called the Blades, who believe the prisoner may fulfill an ancient Dunmer prophecy: the return of Nerevar, a legendary warrior whose reincarnation is foretold to unite the warring factions of Morrowind and confront a growing supernatural threat emanating from the volcanic Red Mountain at the island's center.

I certainly understand why many of my friends have trouble getting into this game. If you're coming from Skyrim or Oblivion, you're probably used to having a full set of armor, a decent weapon or spell, knowledge of basic combat, and a fair amount of gold and potions before you even start exploring the world. Morrowind isn't like that. You start the game by stepping off of a boat in a poor swamp town with nothing but the clothes on your back and a rusty iron dagger. There is no fast traveling (or at least no free fast traveling), and the map can sometimes be confusing. The only way you can find what you're looking for sometimes is by reading vague directions your character wrote down in their journal. In Skyrim, Alduin appears before you even have control of your character. In Oblivion, the emperor tells you of Mehrunes Dagon's plot before you leave the first dungeon. In Morrowind, you d
You start playing Morrowind. You pick a race, class, go through the tutorial and dive right in. The controls are a bit clunky and you feel a bit awkward swinging around the first dagger you get. Well screw it, let’s see what this game has to offer. So you go up to the first enemy you see, a mudcrab. You start hacking away at it, only to find that you miss almost 90% of the time. Finally after getting hit a few times you dispatch it. Well, that didn’t go as well as you expected. Then you realize that even when running you are moving at a snail's pace and you are constantly very low on fatigue. You get your hands on better weapons and armour, but you still miss often and take more damage than you expect. Despite all this, you play on. You get your first side quest, and then you realize that objectives aren’t marked on your map nor are you notified when they are completed. Then you find oth
A quick disclaimer: This is a no nostalgia review of Morrowind. My first introduction to TES was Skyrim, then Oblivion, then Morrowind, then Arena (bleh!). I plan to review the game in a critical fashion and lay out its strengths and flaws regardless of how it is remembered by the nostalgic reviewers. Also, I use minimal mods to enjoy a mostly vanilla experience, and my review is based on vanilla Morrowind (I only use Morrowind Code Patch). Morrowind is a game from another era in gaming. Its graphics are absolutely hideous to our modern eyes (yes, even in 2002 when it was released. See Hitman 2: Silent Assassin). It processes most things through dice rolls, even whether or not your axe swing lands, or if you cast your spells properly. These of course get better later on as you level up, but in the beginning it can be INFURIATING. The GUIs are very unintuitive: even looting a chest or
Bethesda remastered the wrong game. Edit- Bethesda is still remastering the wrong game.
My opinionated review for: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Disclaimer : I have played all of the TES games in reverse order so my praise for the game is not pure nostalgia. Also most of my time playing this game has not been on Steam, but rather the disc version I bought from a movie & music store long ago. I believe I have put a total of 500+ hours on that version alone. Gameplay: This game is the pinnacle of the TES saga. Every RPG element is here and works well. Upon startup, you are greeted with a rather bland title screen. What makes it so special is the iconic theme of Morrowind that has appeared by variation in all of the later TES games. Clicking new game will send start a skippable intro video and then the game starts. Your backstory is that you were sent to Vvardenfell under the orders of the emporer. This backstory is vague enough for you to be creative with your story, unl
