So Morrowind and the steam sale.

Robby94 · June 2017

just flicking through the steam sale looking for good deals, and couldnt really find anything interesting i wanted. decided to look at bethesda games and noticed the new morrowind chapter is on sale for 30 euro, strange to see it for sale so soon. i preordered mine and tbh feel kinda gipped. still its a good chance for anyone on steam who were on the fence about getting it. 30eur is a better price than 40, which is roughly the cost of 5500 crown pack or just cheaper.

I'm not surprised.. figured Morrowind will go on sale fast and have warned potential new players to wait just a bit. The "expansion" was clearly overpriced for the amount of content provided so it was inevitable.

Steam. Where they'll try to charge you twice for DLC that isn't DLC but is totally DLC.

There is a separate store page for Morrowind by itself. That's 33% 43% off. The upgrade is 25% off.

EDIT: Me am can reed gud. $:\$

Price reduction available in the UK too.

If you want Morrowind and haven't yet bought it, DON'T pay the full price!

Interesting that the Morrowind expansion and most of the other Bethesda titles are on sale but not ESO base game or ESO gold edition.

I'm a noob to Steam; I don't really use it for anything except a handful of single-player games. If I buy the Morrowind upgrade on Steam but play ESO through the non-Steam ESO launcher, will it work? Will I have to use Steam for ESO going forward?

You can link your current ESO account to your Steam account, but doing so means you're no longer able to play through the normal launcher - as far as I know.

G2a has em for 12 euro if you're willing to take the risk

You want front row seats, you pay extra.

Gotta love it. I picked it up today on sale, and to top it all off, for some reason it came with the pre-order bundle. So I got the best of both worlds. I learned from the past DLC releases that it just doesn't pay to be an early adopter when Zenimax is involved.

is there any reason why there's no discount on base game or gold ed?

You can get the base game for £10 on key-selling sites and even the £20 currently on Steam is not much.

Well i don't play ESO with steam.

I assume it's because they're pushing Morrowind and that includes the base game.

It started going on sale before it was even officially released. I paid the same for mine when it was still in pre-order period. Buying directly from ZOS is usually the most expensive option.

Which version did you buy?

Which version should i buy, if i buy it through steam? There are several version of the same, can't completely figure it out.

Are there any negative things, about buying it through steam?

I'll just wait till they offer it in the crown store like they should have from the beginning.

The collectors editions (box set, digital collectors, collectors upgrade) include the discovery pack regardless of when you purchased them.

ZOS buried that in their FAQ article as opposed to their sales pages.

G2A is a marketplace so the prices aren't set by ZOS/the retailer. All the really good deals are games that were bought with stolen credit cards, so (like you said) there is always the risk of getting banned, however unlikely.

Only downside is that (since ZOS and Steam seem to have a somewhat strained relationship) sometimes when there is server trouble, Steam users get locked out of logging back in significantly longer than direct players. It seems that ZOS servers tend to prioritize direct login players over Steam players when the servers are overwhelmed. And so Steam users can get locked out for much longer than non-Steam players. It happened just the other night.

You can still login directly through the Steam version if you have a userid and password. But you won't normally get these if you just buy the Steam version (since the ESO Steam client has auto-login).

Just as a fair WARNING to anyone who things about utilizing this sale (Just as I did)

DO NOT PURCHASE THE MORROWIND DIGITAL UPGRADE ON STEAM IF YOU HAVE A REGULAR ACCOUNT.

I just wasted 30euro on the steam version update, when in fact I was looking to gift it to a friend who had an ordinary account (Hell, so do I too) yet this Digital Upgrade does not come with a CD key to enter on your account.

Absolute scam that such is not advertised on the steam page itself, no less that I was capable of buying a Digital Upgrade on a service that did not allow me to use it the very thing I bought.

I've requested refund, and I hope Steam can change their page to actually inform their players about this disconnection.

1. I was in the beta, and i saw somewhere, that beta players, got a monkey pet. Will i still be able to get that, if i buy it through steam? If i can still get it.

2. And what about, if i want to buy some gems. Do i have to buy them through stem as well, or can i do it through other means
