Despite the fact that\u00a0The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0<\/em>closing in on its 20th anniversary, it still has a dedicated fanbase thanks to its continued support of third-party mods and rich narrative with detailed lore. While fans are waiting for more news of\u00a0The Elder Scrolls 6,\u00a0<\/em>some will inevitably be drawn towards\u00a0The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind,\u00a0<\/em>especially if they’ve never played it before.<\/p>\n

Though its graphics are dated and many of its mechanics have aged poorly through the years,\u00a0The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>can still offer a fun experience if players understand what they are getting into. While it can be a\u00a0intimidating for fans of\u00a0The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>to adjust to, its free-form style of gameplay allows for endless possibilities.<\/p>\n

For players who originally got into\u00a0The Elder Scrolls\u00a0<\/em>series with\u00a0Skyrim,<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>the first thing they’ll notice is how different Morrowind<\/em> feels and plays. For example, the combat in\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>is heavily inspired by\u00a0Dungeons & Dragons\u00a0<\/em>where players must roll a dice to see if a weapon skill hits or misses.\u00a0Although this mechanic by itself isn’t a deal breaker, the scaling is skewed poorly and beginner players can easily\u00a0get frustrated while missing\u00a0a majority of their attacks. As a result, players need to dedicate more time exploring the world around them and grinding their skills until they become consistently reliable.<\/p>\n

Another frustrating mechanic is the lack of quest pointers and general direction for new players.\u00a0Getting lost in\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>is common because the only information players have about quests are usually from NPCs using landmarks as a guide. Moreover, the movement speed can be sluggish especially when compared to\u00a0Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>and this can easily turn off many players. There’s a learning curve to\u00a0Morrowind<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>that requires\u00a0a lot of experimentation, and new players will likely have to spend time adjusting to its dated mechanics. Thankfully, many of these issues can be mitigated or\u00a0overcome through the use of mods which is why\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>is best played on PC in 2021.<\/p>\n

Although the old-school mechanics can be intimidating, it also enables\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>to shine with its open-ended design.\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>places almost no restrictions on the player at any stage of the game, allowing them to explore the world without following the main quest at all. The strongest aspect of\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>is its storytelling and worldbuilding, which\u00a0players slowly uncover as they stumble through the world. Whereas\u00a0Skyrim’s\u00a0<\/em>Radiant Quests often suffered from ending up as fetch quests,\u00a0Morrowind’s\u00a0<\/em>variety and freedom<\/a> allow players to complete their tasks in whatever manner they see fit.<\/p>\n

The modding community behind\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>remains active<\/a> to this day as they continually improve mechanics and fix bugs to make it easier for newcomers to enjoy.\u00a0Overwhelming mechanics such as the dice rolling or grinding can be modded out, while other mods offer the addition of new monsters, NPCs, cities, equipment, and more. Much like the design philosophy behind\u00a0Morrowind,\u00a0<\/em>the third-party mods gives players the freedom to create the experience they are looking for.<\/p>\n

There are also some remaster projects from fan communities in the works such as\u00a0Skywind,\u00a0<\/em>a recreation\u00a0of\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>in\u00a0Skyrim’s\u00a0<\/em>engine that players can look forward to if they find\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>too outdated<\/a>. Ultimately,\u00a0Morrowind\u00a0<\/em>is still a fantastic game in 2021 as long as players understand that it’s a completely different experience from other\u00a0Elder Scrolls\u00a0<\/em>games, and are willing to be patient with its retrospective faults.<\/p>\n

The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is available now on PC and on Xbox consoles via backward compatibility.<\/p>\n
