Morrowind on Xbox with no ESO+

Davor · June 2017

I play on PC and have plus right now, and already bought Morrowind so this doesn't effect me. My wife for my birthday/Fathers Day kid's present for me the Collector's edition for Xbox. Since I don't play on Xbox no more, and my daughter started playing last week and loving it even though she is disabled and can't read. So I am thinking of giving her the disc (or what ever it is code?) so she can have a horse and pet.

So my question is, how do I do it? Does she need to use the disc all the time or is it a one time install from the disc or it's an internet download/install and you use a code that is tied to her account? Also since she doesn't have ESO+ yet or Xbox Live Gold I just want to make sure she can still play Morrowind since she can still play ESO.

Not sure why I think this is so complicated but still learning what is account wide on Xbox One (everyone can use like ESO) and what is account bound (only one account can use). So if I give her the Morrowind disc/code that would mean if I go back to Xbox ESO I would need my own copy of Morrowind as well?

One disc will allow mutiple accounts (Gamertags) to make different characters that r saved to that Gamertag in particular. U definitely gotta have live gold to play online tho.

1) The disc needs to stay in the xbox otherwise you cant start the game. 2) She needs Xbox Live because ESO is an online game otherwise she would not be able to play. 3) As Morrowind is a DLC you need to buy it again for your own account aswell if you ever want to play on xbox again.

See this is what I don't understand. She doesn't have Xbox Live Gold. I thought she can play because she is using my gold because it's shared. So how is she playing ESO if she doesn't have Xbox Live Gold?

I didn't know you had Xbox Live, if that is the case then yes your xbox live is shared with all the other accounts on that xbox and she can play ESO that way.

Basically as long as an xbox gold member has that console set as their home console any profile on it can play online.
Your daughter does NOT need her own xbox gold subscription.

You have to understand the basics and none of that is here.

She does not need a gold account if she uses the same xbox
You get 2 licenses for gold or any other digital perchase
1 Is your gamer tag you can sign on to gold while playing anywhere xbox live
2 Your xbox all members logged on to your main xbox has access to any games ect purchesed

Dlc ect eg eso + is account specific
While your wife can create an account on the main xbox she will not have accesses to your dlc and purchases she would have to purchase them for her account

Thank you for this. So just to make sure, if I install this on my Xbox Account then my Daughter or rest of the family will not be able to play Morrowind but they can play ESO. So I should go on my daughters account and then install Morrowind or enter the code so she can have all the bonuses that come with the code?

So if I give her the code then I will have to buy another copy of Morrowind if I get the Scorpio so then have 2 xboxs and then we can play together?

yes I think so ...a bit confused.
If your family will be able to play and create accounts on your main xbox no need for gold
if your daugher uses the morrwind code only your daughter would have abscesses to morrowind but she would have to play on your main xbox
I you get another xbox you can log into your account and play with your daughter but you would not have accesses to any her dlc unless you bought it for your account
