Instead Morrowind presents characters, situations, and stories worthy of both the evocative setting, and the Elder Scrolls name.Īs for how it plays this is still very much The Elder Scrolls Online, with the same great skill-based levelling and combat. And that’s traditional in the RPG sense, because you won’t find many or any ‘kill x amount of this’ or ‘collect x amount of this thing’ fetch quests with no real impact. If I had to ballpark it, I’d say that there’s enough story content here to provide an entertaining 30 or so hours of traditional RPG-like questing. Whilst instilling the feeling that Vvardenfell is, as of right now, the place in Tamriel you need to be in.
It helps add weight to the situation and stories you’ll uncover, of which there are many. As is getting to experience an entirely new introduction and tutorial sequence, and then travel to Vvardenfell to experience all the new sights and sounds with the new Warden class. Being able to approach the new content fresh, is a definite plus. The outcome of which directly affects the new Morrowind expansion. A revised version that meant that any story or location could be visited in any order, with any character, and with no level restrictions in place. Prior to the release of the Morrowind expansion, TESO got something called the One Tamriel update. Where since that time, it has seen several changes. This meant that TESO was different enough from everything else at the time, especially in how it approached PvP. As opposed to going about it the other way around, or simply copying the standard MMO template. Back when The Elder Scrolls Online (or, TESO) first made its debut, one of the strongest aspects of its presentation was that it placed a lot of time and effort into transposing what an Elder Scrolls game might look like if it went ‘online’.
Okay, so maybe those comparisons are a little simplistic. For an MMO along the lines of Everquest, World of Warcraft, and so forth, the answer to that is – a lot. Now of course, another reason would be to simply go back to The Elder Scrolls Online proper and see what’s changed since its 2014 PC debut and subsequent 2015 console release. A mysterious land full of elves with weird beliefs, organisational structures based around deity and Dwemer knowledge, giant mushrooms, mass transit the form of giant insect-looking things, and of course - a massive volcano that serves as the centrepiece for the anything-but-tropical island location.
One of the main reasons people got excited about the latest expansion to Bethesda and ZeniMax’s The Elder Scrolls Online was that it would give them the chance to revisit an iconic location from the series, Vvardenfell, first seen in 2002’s The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
