Morrowind's worth every penny!!!

Rouven · May 2017

I'm very happy with what I'll be spending once I get me physical stuff

Juponen · May 2017

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.

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.

4000 pennies to be precise...

Adernath · May 2017

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP and I want to thank ZOS for creating this wonderful new chapter!!

The art, the music, the landscape is very well made. I am looking forward to further expansions :-)

Dreyfron · May 2017

well i want to thank ZOS also, the game is superb!

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.

otis67 · May 2017

I agree. I think it's great.

grizzledcroc · May 2017

Its very fun, I think 30 would been a sweet spot though.

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!

Floki_Vilgerdarson · May 2017

Awesome, glad to hear good news.

Gargath · May 2017

What should I start from? Maybe the opening music while logging into game, it's so dull now.
I expected the original rewritten tracks from TESIII, but heck no, we have some rubbish sound I cannot repeat soon after hearing...

AhPook_Is_Here · May 2017

I have been enjoying maeororwind too, lots of good times! I wish caldera was around though, i miss my little imp buddy, and don't say he is in the deshawn hideout, that's not really him, just some imp pretending with a way high barter skill and no gold inventory.

Whoever wrote the Gnisis quests... I love you and you are a genius

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.

Willow · May 2017

I am in heaven. Felt like I came home.

Kesstryl · May 2017

I'm definitely having fun, the zone is well done, and I'm really enjoying the quests (taking my time through them on my first play through).

Loves_guars · May 2017

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?

SydneyGrey · May 2017

It's my new favorite DLC next to Orsinium. I'm loving it so far.

Dracindo · May 2017

€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.

WarMasterCyp · May 2017

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.

lunalitetempler · May 2017

Pissed about BGS but once I got into the questing in morrowind I had a ton of fun. Very well made, it restored my faith in zos because just playing the zone you can tell how much they love their game.

Banana · May 2017

Agree. I'm even seeing good-looking dumner npcs. So making one must be possible

Lord_Draevan · May 2017

It is worth it! Kinda disappointed the northern island is inaccessible and empty though
