This week’s Throwback Thursday features a title from one of the most recognizable RPG series in the history of gaming – The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition.

Elder Scrolls is the ultimate freeform adventure with epic tales of knights, thieves, dragons and magic. It is where enormous open worlds await and offer you a blank slate to make your own story. Morrowind is no exception and takes you on an epic adventure to explore a unique world full of strange and deadly creatures, different quests and stories where you make decisions that matter.



Let's hear from one of the GOG team members what are her's experiences with the game and why she loves The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

Recommended by Anna, Product Communication Manager at GOG

[i]Morrowind is a game that started my love for cRPGs. I discovered this game by chance as a kid - I was wondering what to play next (and I’ve just begun my lifelong adventure with PC gaming) and this game was added to my newly bought graphics card. I installed it and after the first minutes in Seyda Neen I knew that it was it - unique setting, weird monsters, and the freedom to just walk around Vvardenfell, visit different cities, read (a lot of) books, and do quests for different factions.

I go back to this game quite often (appreciating the music in the game even more) and go on an adventure with a newly created character. Morrowind is definitely a must play for everyone who loves cRPGs or looks for an unique open world setting and I hope that you will like it as much as I do. Just watch out for the cliff racers as they really want to follow you wherever you go ;) [/i]

Check out Piran Jade playing and streaming the game on GOG’s Twitch channel later today (Thursday, November 11th at 8 PM UTC).

You can't blame GOG for people randomly deciding based on jack shit that today GOG should get Skyrim. It's not like GOG implied that in any way.

Wow, thanks GOG, for mentioning Morrowind. A great RPG of the Elder Scroll series, I agree. However, today marks 10 YEARS since Skyrim was released and you guys can't get it here? 10 YEARS. Did you even try? If so, then say something, because right now, your trolling is coming to the point of mocking.

Hell, I was even hopeful that it was coming here today......NOPE. Not surprised though.

Probably best that you didn't mention anything Elder Scrolls related today. It only annoys people who were expecting Skyrim...after 10 damn years.

Yep.
Well, I guess that also makes part of GOG tradition :
People here creating massive hype and then the "hype train" crashing and burning.
GOG - like war -never changes :)

It's simple really - TESV obviously still turns enough profit elsewhere for Bethesda to even consider putting together a DRM-free edition for release on GoG.
There's no need for GoG or anyone to spell it out.

Tarhiel: Skyrim Anniversary release when? :)
2024, after the last re-release of the 'Insert random words' Edition.

I have surprisingly good memories of Morrowind, considering I never really managed to get anywhere far in the game. Still, despite my lack of success, the music and the environment really stuck with me. And for perceived ages I had Morrowind wallpapers on the desktop.

Darn. Now I have to check if I still have some archived somehwere or they are still available. And I'm pondering given it a shot after nearly 20 years. But the Megaquarium release already pushed something else to the front...

Cliff Racers will change your oppinion. :)

I tried playing Morrowind but couldn't get into it. A bit too "sandboxy" and "openworldy" for me. Dropped it after like 10 hours because I knew that with my style of play, I'd have to pour 200+ hours into a single playthrough.

Same. I keep promising myself I'll return to it and finish it one day, but as time passes it only gets less and less likely. Especially as I remember the journal in the game is really not very helpful at finding your place after a long break.

But I did spent plenty of time with it, and I had a great time. It was a really unique experience picking it up for the first time when it was already a classic, and figuring out what the hell I'm doing, since its a game that just throws you out there and expects you to manage with no hand holding. It made for a great feeling of actual adventure, getting into random unexpected trouble, getting lost, raising myself from a hapless shoplifter to a mighty(ish) hero.

Perhaps my fondest memory about it is the long phone conversations with a friend of mine, who was living temporarily abroad then, and was pretty lonely and homesick, and since he never played an older game like this (but played newer, more "hand-holding" ones like Skyrim, Oblivion, Dishonored) I'd amuse him with tall tales of all the misadventures I got into.
