    Confirmation bias. Review was actually very positive. I have to thank the OP for sharing because now I want to play Morrowind even more.

    But, as a woman, I'm a little offended by the OP's assertion that Nayru is ugly. She looks great--capable and super cute with her pixie bob. I'd be concerned if she looked any other way.

    If mmorpg.com can post a review before it even launches, why is the players base under an NDA.

    Problem is its a beta , literally reviewing a extreamly unfinished product. Its like reviewing a drawing you did when its the sketch phase.

    Then we take ESO in the NOW state and review it, bugs bugs bugs and its not a beta !!!
    Groupfinder:
    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    Rulz of Morrowind:
    • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    Please read the reasoning behind Morrowind being a chapter. There was a page ( I can't find it right now.) But it did say "Morrowind is a chapter, and not a DLC due to the new class. We did this so players could not unsub without the DLC and keep the Warden character they created"

    Basically, they made it a chapter because the class would basically be free at one sub, instead of buying the DLC/Chapter.

    Um are you watching the same video I am? This ain't no angry Joe review. He heaped a lot of praise on morrowind. including these points:
    • Morrowind is so much better designed in terms of quest flow and exploration than some of the main story zones.
    • Questing in Morrowind feels more organic like other TES games.
    • Admits the warden class is overpowered but does NOT think it goes far enough to be P2W
    • "Morrowind seems to be some of the best content added to ESO since launch" (DIRECT QUOTE)
    • "if morrowind is a hint of the chapters to come every year from Zenimax, consider me on board.(DIRECT QUOTE)

    That sounds like a glowing review of the CONTENT and STORYLINE.

    Where the author of that video gives criticism is that he says the content offered really isn't enough to justify an expansion or "chapter" and the ZOS feels like a very good DLC. Like wrothgar. - Which, surprise surprise, is something people have been saying since ZOS decided to rip this DLC out of the subscription model and try to sell it separately. If you wan't that entire story, just look in my signature.

    Overall this review gives Morrowind an A for content and a D for marketing.

    Basically they could have charged separately for unlocking Warden class and included the actual DLC with eso+. But why do that when you can get 90% of the suckers to pay the price of a AAA title for it instead?

    $40 is not an AAA title. Buy the base game, then upgrade still cost $47 then.

    The game isn't bad, they'd charge us $25-30 for Warden, and $25-30 for the DLC. So why not make it a chapter? Also, Warden in store would be form of P2W.

    Main points they make in the video:
    - Not enough content to justify being called an expansion. Morrowind is an overpriced DLC - $40 when normally this sort of thing should cost $20.
    - Ingame Naryu looks nothing like Naryu in the trailer and is much uglier. Another case of cinematics lying.
    - The questing is good.
    - Warden is broken op. Obviously this is to get people to buy Morrowind.
    - Media get to break NDA but we don't wtf?



    well Naryu is much prettier, much more similar to the trailer, than Quen of Thieves guild DLC, that was total fail, compared to the Quen from the trailer.

    Naryu doesn't look ugly imo, just the typical dunmer features. The trailer humanized her and she looked like a grey skinned human. The trailer likely was outsourced and they took their own liberties with the look of the characters.

    Agreed, disliked her appearance in the trailer as well as the guy she was trying to kill. I want to visit the land of TES Dunmer, not a bunch of human-looking guys with pointy ears who belong in some other game.

    If he has to quality a statement with 'not P2W' then it isn't good news.

    Well it certainly isn't good news for those who are trying to kid us that it is P2W :wink: !

    Look, how difficult is it to understand that in response to all the claims that the Warden is P2W he's concluding that like all new classes in MMOs it's OP but not to the point where it's P2W?

    And you have a very blinkerd view, just because one likes it and another dosn't, dosn't make either one wrong............

    As for me I don't care as I am not going to purchase it, but I have endless fun reading the drama both side are creating, it's just a game if you like play if not don't.

    The only thing I don't agree with is how some classes are taking it in the neck so Zos can sell it's exp................

    Sorry, but Naryu looks freaking awesome. And I like how she actually moves and gestures instead of just statically standing there like all current quest giver NPCs. That's a nice new addition.
