Can people who purchased the digital Morrowind CE upgrade at least get a PDF of Naryu's Journal?

elven.were_wolf · May 2017

As an existing ESO player who already has a physical copy of the game, when ESO Morrowind was announced and I pre-ordered, the obvious choice for me was to purchase the Digital CE, as I already have the game disc and I wasn't really interested in the Dwemer Colossus statue, however I was interested in Naryu's Journal. I still didn't get though, because I thought it was just the usual artbook. Now I know that it's actually somewhat a physical lorebook containing Naryu's adventures. As a big fan of Naryu Virian I am devastated.

I asked Gina if I could purchase it separately, but she said it only comes with the Physical CE of Morrowind.

The thing is it's a graphic novel containing lore, so why can't we who purchased the digital CE at least get a PDF of this Lorebook?
If I can even read this journal in-game, by finding it through out Vvardenfell I'd be content. I just want to read it's contents!!

Sorry dude. I feel for you.

I went through a similar dilemma. I originally purchased the Physical Imperial CE at first release. Went away from the game for 2 years and came back for Morrowind. I wanted the new CE, but was not sure it was worth the cost, so was planning on getting the digital CE.

Then I saw on Amazon that all pre-order (physical copies only) games are sold at 20% off (*EDIT - it seems this is a Prime member-only benefit), which brought the price difference down to only $20 for the Physical CE of Morrowind. I went for it, although several times I almost canceled it to switch to the digital version. My wife convinced me to not cancel.

I know this is the opposite of consoling you, but I am so glad she did. Naryu's Journal is fantastic. I am enjoying it so much that suspended my ESO Morrowind story to go back and play Ebonheart Pack story (which I never did before), just to experience Naryu's part of the story.

I am not sure if there will ever be a PDF version, but I will leave you with one small point of hope. In the printed Journal, words that would typically be a link (names of places or people) are printed in a different color. I am not sure this means anything, but it could be an indication of a digital version with links.

Sorry again. If you can find a way to get a copy (as you seem already interested in her story), I suggest you do it. I will treasure mine.

I also feel for ya, but items like this book have always been limited to the physical CE so people will spend the extra money and not sold separately. Why is this any different ?????

It would probably upset the CE purchasers if this was available for direct purchase separately. Especially if the spent the extra money on the CE just for the book and not the statue .....

Try eBay, you will probably be able to find it there from others that bought the CE for the statue and looking to sell the book as they did not want it .....

I'm sure one of the tonnes of forum goers here could easily scan and create a .pfd, doubt you'll get an official one from ZOS though (also a digital preorder here).

Not something I really want - but def. possible if you can find somebody nice enough to make it for you

Post ads in your town or city. Maybe some people won't know [snip] you're talking about. But to get those ESO players aware that you're looking for Naryu's journal ONLY, go to the center of where you live and scream WTB Naryu's Journal 30 gold!

I'm thinking of getting it from eBay, but unfortunately I live far from the US, so most people don't ship here.

I got physical bcs of the book. It should be sold separately from someone who does not want it. It should come on imperial library after a while like all other books do

I wonder how nice the scanner on my printer is...

For totally unrelated, non-redistributory uses of course.

Yep, it'll be up on Imperial Library as soon as they get permission.

Yep, I love that it's limited, and I feel it adds a lot to the value. I wouldn't mind a PDF version for Digital CE purchasers at all though. The physical book wouldn't lose any value from that imo, since the physical production values are so damn beautiful.

I bought both the original CE and the Morrowind CE specifically for the art books and steel books. Couldn't care less about the statues
