The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind

Overview

For anyone who played The Elder Scrolls III, who yearns for Morrowind and the island of Vvardenfell, being able to revisit even the shadow of those memories is a treat. The old theme music swells, you take those first steps into Seyda Neen, and it's almost the same. Close enough, anyway—like seeing the reunion tour of your favorite band. They're older, maybe less daring, but the hits are timeless.

Faithfully recreated Vvardenfell offers a great level of nostalgia and looks fantastic
Some quest chains are fantastically long and sprawling, moving into true Elder Scrolls style

Reviewers Didn't Like

Battlegrounds are terribly imbalanced
As a result of some quest chains being long and interlinked
Vvardenfell can feel empty due to a lack of smaller quests

Brings something genuinely new to The Elders Scrolls...

By Game Chronicles Magazine on December 06, 2018

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is an impressive new addition to an already solid MMO. The Elder Scrolls Online has been constantly evolving since its initial launch, and the new content introduced in this chapter builds upon these improvements. There’s plenty to do in Vvardenfell, a land with consonants to spare, but one of the greatest strengths of this title is the level of accessibility. Any type of character build can work in this game, and players of all levels can play together and things will balance themselves out so everyone can have a good time.

Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind certainly offers some great quest lines and a fantastic nostalgia trip for those familiar with Vvardenfell. However, it feels a lot emptier, with monsters being simply unexciting and the new PVP being abysmally balanced....

The storytelling and writing are taken to new heights, continuing a trend of improvement in each content release since Orsinium in 2015. The addition of the Warden class gives new and returning players alike a fresh and versatile way to play through the 25 hours of content. While the Warden’s bear companion skill disappoints and the Battlegrounds need work, what Morrowind does well has kept me enthralled in the world of Tamriel. Morrowind feels like it begs you to come home, and what a welcome it has in store when you get there.

Morrowind adds a lot of good content to the Elder Scrolls Online library, with the fresh new look of Vvardenfell staring at the center of a great expansion. The storytelling and writing are taken to new heights, continuing a trend of improvement in each...

Sometime after I'd exhausted my patience with Skyrim, I went back to play Morrowind with friend's Xbox 360 copy. It was a horrendous experience, after having played the game originally on PC around its launch. It also made me somewhat nervous to replay...

It's hard to love a swamp. Mountains have majesty, deserts have mystery, but what do wetlands have? I imagine some Joe on the street would boil it down to something like “muck, malaria, and mosquitoes.”Even so, Famia Mercius, an antiquarian who's a...
