Is eso morrowind a DLC or a complete new game?

NightDragon

Hello
I have not played eso in some time. I recently built a new pc just to play games. Mainly eso. But i have a problem, my cd drive makes some weird sound when i put in a disk. aside from that what I want to know is - Is morrowind considered a DLC that i can buy with crown points that i have been saving up since obviously i have not been playing for some time. any help I would appreciate it. I hope to get my cd drive problem fixed soon so i can jump in so i can finally start playing again.

You can't buy morrowind with crowns, but you can buy a digital upgrade so you don't need a disc.

That's a real bummer i really don't want to spend more money. i don't understand why we cant use crowns for this but other expansions we were able to.

You can buy the digital upgrade edition, which doesn't require a second disc. However, I'm guessing your system might want the original disc in the drive to play the game.

Once a year there will be new "chapters" that you cannot buy with crowns, but three other DLCs a year that you can.

That's an optimistic view. So far, zos has yet to release DLC reliably on this schedule. In two years or so, we've had only 5 DLC. I'm defining DLC as an addition that requires subscription or crown purchase. Maybe zos will get it right this time, but don't hold your breath. zos has a poor track record on sticking to their announcements.

It's another cash grab. This time, it targets subscribers specifically. Also, if you already have used your 8 free character slots, you must purchase additional slots for crowns, with the limit moving to 14, or delete characters in order to create a Warden class.

i have imperial collection when i first bought eso then i even got eso+ specifically so i would not need to pay extra $ on top for dlcs /expansions so i could just buy it with crowns that i have saved up. Also i have not played in a really long time and lost track if things changed. Also only used 1 slot for a character.

There is no getting around the requirement to purchase Morrowind. You asked if this is a new game. Depends who you ask. zos is calling this a 'chapter'. It's new content in at least one new zone with a new class. But existing characters can play there. To me, that makes it a DLC regardless how it's relabeled. If you want to play, you gotta pay, but at least you won't have to burn crowns on a character slot.

Because this isn't a DLC, it's an EXPANSION (or as ZOS are calling it, a CHAPTER), they've clearly realised the Store isn't generating sufficient cash so they're introducing an annual EXPANSION that they'll only sell for cash ...
