Summary
The essence of any Elder Scrolls game has always been simple: to let you do what you want, and have fun doing it. Huge, detailed and open-ended are words that frequently come up when talking about Arena , Daggerfall, and now Morrowind. This game allows you to create any kind of character you can imagine. Morrowind sets a new standard in gaming with its incredible graphics, deep gameplay, and innovative character development.
Initially from a first-person perspective, but with an option to switch to third-person, the player begins the story in the cargo hold of a slave ship, having been kidnapped. With nothing but basic clothing, the player is then dropped off in the sleepy port of Seyda Neen, on the island of Vvardenfell and ordered to deliver a package to an imperial officer in a city called Balmora, several days’ walk away.
The introductory sequence sees the player go through the process of character creation. Various people along the way require the player to select a name, race, sex, birthsign and skills configuration. Characters can be designed either by answering a series of ten questions, choosing one of 21 pre-defined classes or completely creating their own from scratch.
From here, the saga begins with the player left free to explore the sights of Vvardenfell, meet the inhabitants and carry out various quests and objectives. This is made easier by the option of joining factions, which gains the player friends and opens up more doors. The player is thus able to follow the main storyline, or set off to explore the huge province of Morrowind and its vast cities, remote villages and interactive characters.
The Game of the Year edition features 100+ hours of gameplay thanks to the inclusion of the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions. In Tribunal, you visit the capital city of Mournhold, the Clockwork City of Sotha Sil, each complete with new creatures, quests, armour and weapons. In Bloodmoon, venture to the frozen island of Solstheim, a place filled with even more challenges for high level characters, or become a werewolf and indulge your thirst for the hunt.
