TES25TH-MORROWIND

Classic RPG from back in the day, and now free to own. You'll need to create a Bethesda account to obtain it though.

Note: Not a Steam key (or an Epic one for that matter).

Morrowind:Plugins has a list of official plugins released by Bethesda exclusively for the PC version of Morrowind. None of these plugins is included with any PC release of the game, including the Game of the Year Edition and the Steam digital release. They cannot be obtained from the official website any more, but can be downloaded directly from the links on that page. The major expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon are bundled with Game of the Year Edition.

Morrowind Unofficial Patch by Thepal corrects many mistakes and bugs in the game.

Thanks to FabMan

    I can't believe it was 25 years ago that this came out, it feels like yesterday. Is it amazing how time flies. Thanks for the link, code registered fine, I will be sure to download and hopefully it is as good as I remember it being.

        You are not old unless you played Leisure Suite Larry I. So much pleasure yet it was 320x240 in 4 colors. Took me 3 months to get past a scene. My mate called me at 3am to tell me that he worked out how to get past it. The little blue pixel under the tree was a coconut.. :) sigh so old, feeling so sad…

      First elder scrolls = 25 years. This is the third…

      • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2019 - 17:41

        Lamenting that 25 years has gone by since something happened and feeling old is a joke on the internet. It's not to be taken seriously.

        • WhyAmICommenting on 26/03/2019 - 17:44

          For sure, but there's a big difference between 25 and 17

        I think Morrowind is better than both of them

          I think both of them are better than morrowind :)

            @Ostrk: I guess you place more importance on graphics than story or game play, which is fine

            • RI4V4N on 26/03/2019 - 09:49
              +3

              @Quantumcat: I think the story in all 3 is pretty similar in complexity, vibe and strength.
              The gameplay itself in morrowind is considerably less user friendly (and just harder in general), but maybe that is your jam.
              TBH my personal favorite storyline out of all 3 of those games is the oblivion expansion - the shivering isles.

              • Quantumcat on 26/03/2019 - 09:54

              @Quantumcat: I put gameplay above all. And I think morrowind lacked the most by far in that regard.

              @Seedy seed: Am I though? nostalgia is a drug in my eyes & I think most gamers are completely addicted to it.

                +4

                @Ostrk: There are some things it could learn from later games in the series, but there are things it did better. E.g. I loved the more detailed levelling and class system (it got dumbed down more and more in Oblivion and Skyrim), levitating, and all the houses, so many more quests, getting directions where you had to think about where you were going rather than blindly following a quest marker. Some things it could learn from O&S - not missing dagger strikes when you're 5 cm in front of your target, horses, picking ingredients without having to open the inventory of the plant.

                  +1

                  @Quantumcat: Agree with Quantumcat, Oblivion and Skyrim are a lot more playable but Morrowind was golden for it's time. The level of complexity was a blessing and a curse, there was so much content but there was too much to be rigorously tested - I played the release version and it was a crash machine.

                  Combat better in the later games, but leveling and reward better in Morrowind.

                  I liked levitation but I am glad they removed it, there was plenty of things that you could break with the game with it.

                    I liked levitation but I am glad they removed it

                    I loved sky-diving! Levitate up so far the ground is misty, turn and face the ground, turn off levitating….

                      @Quantumcat: That would still give me anxiety - plus, I was running on such a rotten machine the draw distance was about a metre, so the ground didn't render until it was too late!

                      • RI4V4N on 27/03/2019 - 01:00

                        @pdtmathieson: Draw distance on the original Xbox was not great either.

      • imcold on 26/03/2019 - 08:51

        Oblivion released over 12 years ago. So been there done that.

        I believe that Morrowind had the permanent buff bug which made the game fun to mess around with.

    I made an account but it is rejecting my username/password combo. Reset the password and it is rejecting the new password that was entered just 5 seconds ago. What is going on?

    I have now tried Facebook login and it is having the same problem. Facebook login wants to link to a (new) Bethesda username/password and it is rejecting that as well.

    Tried different browsers: Chrome, Firefox, even Internet Explorer 11.

    Or if you want to live dangerously…

    • Quantumcat on 26/03/2019 - 08:45

      The story is leagues better than oblivion or skyrim, I recommend giving it another go.

        Absolutely true, but it's a story I played through 10 times and still know back to front. Revisiting a game I am that familiar with I would need to be engaged with the gameplay, which this isn't going to do for me, unfortunately.

    The storyline in Morrowind was better than Oblivion and Skyrim IMO (though they are great games as well).

    This one was the most immersive for me. Spent hours exploring the world, dungeon crawling, artifact hunting, reading the books for lore, just for the pure joy of it all.

    Don't know how dated it will be now, but with mods, it's worth a shot for $0.
