Morrowind is 20 Years Old Today Options

What the topic title says!

Morrowind was released 20 years ago today in the US. I was a high school senior at the time, and didn't really have any way of playing it, but I did remember being impressed with the otherworldly quality of the screenshots and from flipping through the art book that a friend owned. The world just didn't look like any other gameworld I'd seen, and I appreciated that.

Didn't end up playing it until 2009, but I fell in love with it then. Morrowind was my introduction to The Elder Scrolls in general, and since then I've had fun with Skyrim and Oblivion as well. Morrowind still has a pretty lively community, probably thanks in part to the setting having a very distinct look and feel.

And, of course, it led me here! So kudos all around!

It is hard to believe that this game is 20-years old. Thanks to a devoted modding community the Morrowind looks as fresh as the day it was born. Morrowind ranks as number 3 in my top ten list of games.

My first impression was mixed. I enjoyed walking around the flora and fauna of the fantasy island meeting. It was all so alien. Then of all things, a wizard falls out of the sky. That event sent me off exploring, searching for the next unexpected happening and there have been many.

On the other hand, how could the world art be so imaginative while the character bodies were so hideous? Thank goodness that I play primarily 1st-person.

While playing Morrowind off and on since the 2002 I have to admit that I didn’t complete the main quest until early 2015. Why did it take so long? I didn’t like the poster boy Vivec. Once I did finally completed Morrowind I found out about the backdoor. Ah ha, I went back and did it all again to my liking. Vivec dead, Almalexia dead, the Tribunal is no more and I feel fine.

Now maybe it's time to do it again.
