    Very cool video, I've always loved TES Morrowind. Must have played it for years and years, and loved it being added to ESO. Even though TES Oblivion and TES Skyrim were good and fun games, to me it felt like they were lacking something. Morrowind was just so rich with backstory for monsters, inhabitants, culture, traditions, religion, and politics. Which did not make it feel like a game, but more like an actual full fledged world. Which I was glad you guys were mostly able to replicate in ESO: Morrowind.

    Making such rich and full fledged worlds, is something I hope we get much more of in future expansions/DLC's. One way to do that is to create zones which leave tamriel. Blackreach is one of those recent zones in ESO which comes to mind, as also being a rich and very different environment. But more of those zones would be maybe sheogoraths realm, or have vivec/almalexia take us somewhere otherworldly. Maybe somewhere we have never seen before.

    Can't wait for Necrom!!

    I remember, when Skyrim came out, how I was reading the books about other Provinces, islands, jungles, cities... to be honest, back then Everyone was dreaming about being able to visit other areas, cultures, and many modders tried to do that too.

    So I will be always grateful, for adding these wonderful places and paying such attention to them 🌟 🙏

    Not gonna lie, Morrowind kinda seems like it is being treated like a "break glass in case of emergency" nostalgia thing.

    Man, you guys always nail it with the art styles. Morrowind really is the creative crown jewel of the TES series, happy to see it brought to life more in ESO. Hopefully the stories are up to par too!
