    If only I could have the new chapter w/o the "fixes" to mechanics. Once the new stuff is no longer new the fun factor of this game takes a serious hit.

    So far I've been loving Vvardenfell. The textures and models in the environment seem a lot more detailed and overall just look great. A lot of ancestral tomb doors are closed. I wonder if some of those are going to be available in later patches, with cool delves or dungeons.

    Morrowind has been worth it just for Vvardenfell.

    Yeah, it feels larger than Wrothgar. No, it is not jam packed with little things every 10 feet like the TES game. Yeah, they should have charged $30 instead of $40 for the upgrade, for reasons of symmetry. It is worth the upgrade and I am not regretting the purchases.

    Throwing my hat in the ring as a happy customer. UGH, I wish I didn't have to work, or else I'd be playing it now.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    My biggest issue is the price point. $20-$30 dollars seems more reasonable to me. At $40 dollars, I am stuck with the thought that for $20 more, I can buy a new game instead and wait for the price to drop for the DLC. If it were cheaper, then it would be more difficult for me to be tempted to spend a bit more money on something else instead.

    Will never, ever happen, from what I have heard pre orders were huge

    They were.

    And so was the number of pre-orders they had to pay back when the people with those pre-orders got into Beta and saw just how bad the game was.

    Of the people I know in game about 30% of them pre-ordered, and about a 3rd of those pre-orders then cancelled and got a refund when they tried the PTS.

    All The Best

    Well 240% of those changed their minds again and ordered multiple copies.

    Making up percentages is fun. :-)

    Good to read about the good impressions it leaves too, OP.

    I am an ESO fangirl as i never really played the older TES games, i actually even was thick headed enough once to correct someone when they referred to it as TES game, never heard of it lolol.

    I am still on the fence about buying it or not because of all the changes, i am not sure if i like the way its headed i really dislike heavy attacking and throwing in the bone of making it slightly less annoying at the cost of less damage didnt magically take that feeling away like it did for others aparently.

    But its posts like these that actually do make me reconsider, so thanks for that.
    Apologies for beign longwinded haha.

    Patty, don't quote me on this but I'm under the impression that sustain nerfs etc will be inevitable whether or not you choose to purchase.

    Separate from patty however, I can see both sides of the argument. Some players are unhappy with the expansion, cost vs content amount. I'd tend to agree.

    On the other side, I can see where people are excited about this expansion like the op.

    Where do I stand? This is the first elder scrolls game that I've ever played. Shoot. First MMO I've ever played. I don't particularly care about morrowwind, the story, or the way the zone looks. I just want to start completing new end game content. That being said, as an eso plus member I was a little peeved that I had to pay for this content considering I've gotten other content with 2 dungeons and a trial included in the past. BUT my final verdict is that I'm ok overall with paying for it since this game has been out for 3 years now, and has kept my almost undivided attention for the year I've been playing. So, $40 for this? Sure, I guess I'll just pay.

    I'm excited for the soundtrack. The TES 3 theme set the pattern for all elder scrolls soundtracks.

    @LuminaLilly , The music is indeed magnificent; several beloved tunes from the original have fabulous new arrangements, and there are wonderful new tunes as well. There are many aspects to this expansion that are excellent, but the music is a highlight.

    Enjoy!

    I expected the original rewritten tracks from TESIII, but heck no, we have some rubbish sound I cannot repeat soon after hearing...

    You know that "mountain in the middle making it look bigger than other zones" argument has been proven completely wrong already right? Someone did a video where they sat down and measured the actual landmass that was accessible not including that mountain, then he did the same to the other zones, it turned out the accessible area of the new zone is roughly 60% more than the biggest of the previous zones.

    Did they include the rest of the empty space on the Morrowind map? All of the dwemer ruins that are purely cosmetic and you can't even go in them? This version of morrowind doesn't even include Sheogorad which was in the Original TES Morrowind. Assuming for a second that their calculations were completely accurate, 60% seems like a poor threshold for naming something an "expansion" instead of a DLC.

    WOW's first expansion included Ok WOW's first Expansion included 11 new areas, 10 dungeons, 2 New Battlegrounds
    and various updates including Jewelry Crafting. Making a bigger ZONE is just a difference in degree, not a difference in kind.
    Morrowind has other empty space as in rocks, so has wortguard, but Morrowind might have more.
    Has been in one public dungeon and its huge, not as big as the wortguard ones, more like the main game ones.
    More critical to all the chained doors, that is lazy and had been easy to just copy paste, then do some changes.
    On the other hand delves look fantastic,

    On the gripping hand, you might want to wait a bit, Morrowind is idiotic crowded now, delves with more players than enemies, 10+ players sneaking into an enemy location looked pretty funny and was cool until that fat tailed argonian pulled an guard close and this one got an bounty.

    Quests are of high quality and pretty interesting or funny, they are long so xp/ hour is low. Magic warden with crafted gear and food works well.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    When people talk about the nostalgia element being a cheap source to use, I remember not long ago when I was so excited to play SWTOR expansion featuring Revan's return. Wow, did they fail with that, made me dislike SWTOR a lot.

    So, it's no so simple, it's like playing with fire. We live in a era of bad remakes that just use the title of an old movie and don't respect any of its original spirit. And to use Morrowind no less, probably the most beloved TES game, the challenge was huge, ergo my astonishment.

    Yesterday I went to the public dungeon at southeast... is huge and gorgeous, and it has, what I think, is the coolest boss I've seen in this game.
    (reminded me of where Dagoth was building his god, the quest has something to do with it too)

    I haven't had a chance to do much today because of work. I just got off the boat in Seyda Neen and walked to Balmora.

    But even that was just awesome.



    That is what I was thinking of doing if I bought Morrowind today. So is this possible with doing my level 22 Altmer Mage?

    €40 for this is just too much, but it's new, and new things simply cost more.
    Overly hyped people will gladly cough up some more cash to buy the newest things, but patient or less-hyped people, would rather wait for the hype-train to end and buy the game at a cheaper price.

    Even though I like Morrowind I don't agree with you. Mostly because most of the quests are dull and there are a lot of closed doors all over.
