Morrowind: The game that started modern Elder Scrolls turns 19

First arrival at sunny Seida Nin, first stolen alabaster dish, first rock rider killed. It all started 19 years ago. It was then that Bethesda released the game that started the modern Elder Scrolls. Morrowind saved Bethesda from bankruptcy and became the first part of the series to hit the Xbox.

With the next Elder Scrolls game most likely four years away from coming out, it would be great if Bethesda would bring out a remake of Morrowind to hold us Elder Scrolls fans out, while we wait for the next game.

A proper remake would take a long time . The assets are just too old to use . The AI a needsa lot of work for modern day games and the game overall needs balancing and to be more difficult , I did up the difficulty slider a lot but it wasn’t balanced that way . But it was the best 3D Elder Scrolls to me by far . Oblivion wasn’t bad but they dumbed it down from Morrowind , and Skyrim was worse . Stupid sprint button bleh. They need to add a lot to the new Elder Scrolls to make it closer to Morrowind but they want the casual/broader market crowd and made the game easier with less mechanics instead of what a lot of rpg fans were hoping for , deeper mechanics and systems , deeper quest lines and a great story like Morrowind .Taking out levitate , Athletics and Acrobatics sucks . Levitate would make them work hard on world design so they just took it out and were lazy with what they made after Morrowind but unfortunately it made $$ and they won’t change it to deeper mechanics and such. I hope I’m wrong because I loved Elder Scrolls especially Morrowind and before but since it’s been ok games but not better games .

64bit 4k upgrade of Oblivion with OBGE+OCR+Qarls, on PS5/XSX and call it a day.

There are similar mods available for Morrowind they could use for an official rerelease also, but i can't remember the names atm. Neither would take much effort.

Great game . Too bad they downgraded Elder Scrolls ever since but with slightly better graphics . They could have taking ES farther but all they did was make it easier with less mechanics instead of more and added a lake ass sprint button . Oh well , they chased the broader market instead of making a deeper rpg and it worked for their $ but the games have suffered since and hardcore rpg fans have been left behind .

Kados1840d ago (Edited 1840d ago )

To be fair, Morrowind was technically a massive downgrade from Daggerfall also. Probably a bigger downgrade than Oblivion was compared to Morrowind, or even Skyrim compared to Oblivion. Every TES since Daggerfall has been a downgrade from the prior one, Morrowind was just the first TES game for 99.9% of people, so most people never noticed.

Sorry, i worded that badly. I meant most people who have played Morrowind, have not played Daggerfall. Morrowind, as the article says, is the first "modern" TES game. Very few people have played the older ones.

Very fond memories of playing this as a kid on PC and OG Xbox and being blown away by it.

GaboonViper1840d ago

Ah yes i remember buying this for my Xbox day one and being hooked on it for weeks, can't believe it's been 19 years, the golden age of gaming during that era.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777281d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher280d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989281d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot280d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake280d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86280d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.

Little PP Todd Howard is just mad that fallout new Vegas will always be better than his fallout games. Including that cesspit 76.

anast496d ago

That's how many mods it took to make his game playable.
