Ah Morrowind. The Classic. The Legend. With all that out of the way, let get back to Morrowind. It was released in 2002, and thus is an entirely different beast than Oblivion and Skyrim. Morrowind was released towards the end of the traditional CRPG era, so it retains many traits of games from the 90s. Things such as chance to hit or cast a spell have been weeded out in the evolution to Oblivion and Skyrim. That said, unlike Arena and Daggerfall, Morrowind was released later enough to have elements of modern RPGs as well. It's a nice balance and mods have been able to cover up it's aging qualities nicely. The most exciting mods for me are the province mods. The most famous of these is Tamriel Rebuilt. When Morrowind was being developed, Bethesda planned to include the entire province in the game (hence the title). We ended up with just Vvardenfell, the central island, due to time constraints. Tamriel Rebuilt aims to remedy that, by completing the mainland of Morrowind in the most lore friendly way possible. They've been at it for years, since before Morrowind's release in fact. It's incredible and awesome that they're still around working on it. That's not to mention the newer province mods such as Province: Cyrodiil and Skyrim: Home of the Nords (adding Oblivion and Skyrim's provinces respectively). The best part of these mods is that when completed, will allow you to traverse the entirety of a province, into another, and one day perhaps all of Tamriel, without a loading screen. I could rant about Morrowind all day, it's truly an amazing game. That's not nostalgia talking either, since my first TES game was Oblivion GoTY and I played hundreds of hours of Skyrim even before I touched Morrowind. So do yourself a favor and pick this gem up; here or physically for DRM free, mod easy goodness. Or on Steam if you must, it works there too.
