Morrowind and multiple accounts

gard

✭✭✭✭✭
I have several accounts, only one of which has the morrowind expansion.

Can I run the Morrowing binary and log in using my non-morrowind account? (Obviously limited to non-Morrowind content)
Or do I need to maintain two installations of the game.

I suppose I should just wait and see whether/how bad gameplay sucks with all of the new changes; the answer to the question may be moot.
My wife complains that I never listen to her. (Or something like that.)

My ESO addons:
Midnight - Find out when midnight is so that you can check for ww/vamp spawn.
Goto - Adds a tab to the map pane allowing you to teleport to a friend, guildmate, or groupmate for free.

    I think each purchase is limited to one account

    Although it's an expansion, it will work the same as DLC when it comes to different accounts - if you have it on 1 account but not the others you can still run those without it on the same install - they just won't have access to the new zone, Warden class, or battlegrounds.

    Also the gameplay changes are base game update, not part of the expansion - so they will be the same on every account regardless of whether you have the expansion for them or not.

    You only need the one installation, unless one account is steam and the other is non steam.

    Thanks for the info. I'd rather not have to maintain two installs at ~50GB each if I can avoid it so this makes me happy.

    In regards to the bolded part - if sustain (or the lack thereof) makes the game unenjoyable, I won't be playing long on any account. That's what I was referring to. I haven't played PTS since before last PTS update which I understand has some major changes for the better so I guess we'll see.

    Shouldn't need to have two installs.

    Its like after Orsinium launched on PC my RL friend visited and played his account on my PC but he owned that DLC on PC while I did not, he wasn't limited.

    So while ZeniMax makes a big fuss about chapters, etc vs DLC, it works the same in terms of the installation.
