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.

[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).

BitMaster_1980: 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.
Yes, the music in the game is great (the main theme from the game is actually one of the first songs I am trying to master on piano, although I won't become the next Chopin, that's for sure).

The environment is so weird, intriguing and diverse: Ashlands, villages like Hla Oad and all of that mixed with heavily inspired by typical medieval buildings like the ones found in Fort Pelagiad. For me, it's still one of the most original settings in the games I've ever seen and one of the reasons why I go back to this game.

victorchopin: hey Anna, nice article, thanks! ;)

let's say if you wanna dig morrowind in 2021... vanilla or modded? why? thanks again
Hi!

I usually use at least a couple of mods, focusing on the complex ones, so I don't need to manage a lot of smaller mods and worry about their compatibility with each other. The vanilla game is still great, although after seeing how mods can enhance the experience - I would recommend using at least 3-4 mods of your choosing :)

During my playthroughs I usually use those mods (not always at the same time): Morrowind Code Patch (patches a lot of bugs and minimizes the number of game crashes), Morrowind Scripts Extender (enables many mods to function) Morrowind Comes Alive (adds over 1,200 NPCs), Better Dialogue Font (a must-have, especially when you have a big screen and play on higher resolution), Real Signposts (replaces existing signposts textures to the ones with the real names of the locations) Morrowind Rebirth (a lot of new content within the main game), Morrowind Graphic Extender (graphical improvements) and Arukinns Better Books and Scrolls (books and scrolls get higher-resolutution textures).


I don't remember the name of the mod, but the last time I've played the game I've also had an UI improving mod (maybe it was Skyrim Ui overhaul?).

Tamriel Rebuilt, one of the biggest mods created (a lot of new, lore-friendly lands), is still on my list to play.


I think that the upcoming winter might be a good time for me to go back to the game, so if you have any interesting (lore-friendly) mods that you highly recommend - let me know :)
