Do I get Morrowind DLC when I get the Summerset Upgrade through Steam?

Zill · July 2018

Hi There,

I have been looking all over and can't seem to find a definitive straight answer to this question. I play on PC have Tamriel Unlimited and was thinking of getting the Morrowind DLC so I can play with my boy, he got Morrowind as part of the base game as I got it direct, but I did not. I got the game through Humble Bundle and had to to save up for new PC and waited months before I could play it Anyway I digress. My copy of the game had to be redeemed through Steam.

If I purchase the "Summerset Upgrade" through Steam, does it come with the Morrowind DLC and can I keep Morrowind indefinitely?

I would really appreciate a definitive straight answer to this, as this information does not seem to be included in the description on Steam and there seems to be some controversy about it.

Thanks in advance,

Zill.

Hi Zill,

No (not any more), Morrowind is not included in the Summerset Upgrade Edition. Nor in the Summerset Standard Edition.

For now Morrowind is only included in new copies of the Base Game, and it is available as DLC in the Crown Store for 3500 Crowns. The Warden Class is available for 1500 Crowns and the Morrowind Collector's Packs is for 2100 Crowns.

There has been a pre-purchase promotions where one would get the Morrowind Chapter when one bought the Summerset Chapter in advance,, but this lasted until June 5.

Marcus.

Hi again,

I think for you the best and cost efficient way would be to get your hands on a physical copy of Morrowind the Chapter (dlc zone + Warden Class).

They are not that expensive so more. eg £12.99 on Amazon

or Game UK

Or your local game supplier.

A digital platform (Steam or ESO) is indeed not going to allow you to buy it any more.

But with a physical copy you can activate the key directly at ESO account page. Just login there with your ESO account and click "redeem code" top left. You will have to use your ESO account that is linked to your Steam (but I guess you only have 1 account at this time).

This will merge what you have on Steam (Tamriel Unlimited) with the Morrowind that is activated on ESO.

And since the physical copy also includes the base game, you will not get an extra base game copy, but the base game is also directly registered at ESO, so if Steam login is not working like $ weeks ago, you can directly launch eso64.exe

I myself have ESO on Steam originally and since then bought Morrowind; Summerset and the Imperial in physical.

Hope this helps you further on.

Thanks Marcus!

Grateful for the help.

I'm not normally one to complain but..........What?

So I can by a new copy of the game that will come with Morrowind for £14.99, if purchased direct. Great!

As I am a steam player I think I would need to purchase the Morrowind DLC through Steam?.....As it happens Morrowind is not available to purchase on it's own through Steam, I'm only able to add it to My Wishlist, can't buy it!

If I attempt to purchase the new base game through Steam for £14.99 that comes with Morrowind I cannot complete the purchase because "Your account already owns some of the above items, so you can’t purchase them again. You can purchase these items as a gift or adjust the contents of your cart to continue." So it not possible for me to acquire Morrwind that way!

Another way would be to purchase enough Crowns through Steam as I'm a Steam player. I would need 3500 crowns.
3000 Crown Pack - £18.99
750 Crown Pack - £5.99
So a total of £24.99 which would then enable me to purchase the Morrowind DLC in game using the Crowns, leaving me with 250 crowns to spare, and also paying £10 More than the cost of the new base game that includes Morrowind.

The only other option to obtain the Morrowind DLC that I can see is to Purchase the Game direct, sack off the copy I got through Steam and start over from Scratch, dumping the 115 hours played already, not to mention all my items and storage containers that I purchased with Crowns plus all my collectables that I have become quite attached to.

I feel like a profanity bomb on the verge of detonation! What a farce!

If I purchase the new base game direct will I be able to keep my characters and all their items from my account on Steam? is there a way this can be done?

I am totally bugging out here, in a flat spin, this parachute is a napsack!

And to clarify for your question:

everything that one buys with real money is tied to 1 ESO account. Also for promotional and give away codes. And also for Twitch linked drops.

One can have multiple ESO accounts, but your Steam is only linked to 1 and only 1 ESO account, lets call that the main account.

Are you planning to get ESO+? If so I wouldn't worry about buying Morrowind. It's included EXCEPT the warden class. If you want to play a Warden you will need to BUY IT. Otherwise don't worry about it if you have ESO+.

Zill · July 2018

@Marcus196604 That's great news!

Thanks for your help : )

@Davor I already have the ESO Tamriel Unlimited Activated through Steam I am aware of ESO+ But thanks good tip. I plan one playing for quite some time. I think over that time I would spend more money renting the DLC's I would prefer to own them and not lose out if I wanted to stop paying for ESO+ for any period of time. : )

Davor · July 2018

Fully understand where you come from @Zill. I use my ESO+ to buy the DLC. I have stopped the ESO+ from time to time and nice to own the DLC as well.
