What a fool you are. This is Morrowind. How could you not recommend it? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naïve? Morrowind is one of the best games of all time. And that's not me, that's Wikipedia. Of course, it isn't for everyone. If you suffer from attention span deficiency, or can't stand cRPGs, this game IS NOT FOR YOU. Believe me, you'll be saving your own time. This game is just... indescribable. Seriously, there is nothing quite like the feeling Morrowind gives you. Not even other Elder Scrolls games. It's an alien world and you are the interloper, and this game will let you know that. But if you can get past that, and the walls of text, this game offers you an incomparable adventure. And once you've finished it, and you've completed all the factions, there is the whole other game for free (something like 4 times Morrowind) in the form of The Greatest Mods of All Time - Project Tamriel and Tamriel Rebuilt. I have 600h at this time, and will gladly clock in 6000 more. 10/10, heavily recommended
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is a masterpiece that all gamers should play. Its only flaw is the bugs. Even if you are a purist like I am, please use at least a basic bug fix mod. This game, even with all the patches Bethesda released throughout 2002-2003, does not function correctly. For example, the entire pickpocketing mechanic does not work and will basically always fail even if you max out the stats for it, and this is clearly not intentional. If you are playing this game for the first time, I would recommend that you disable the two expansion packs, Tribunal and Bloodmoon, in the launcher before you start. Then, once you feel like you've got the swing of things, enable them. The expansions were clearly designed assuming that most players would have a lot of time in the game before installing them and as such they confused me as a newcomer since they didn't add any sort of level or story progress requirement to access expansion content. By enabling the expansions later in your file once you understand the game, you can prevent the expansion content from disrupting the onboarding of the game. These are really the only two things I recommend new players learn about this game before going into it. I genuinely believe it's a masterpiece despite all of the asterisks to have the most smooth experience. This game will require patience, it has a lot of friction, but it wouldn't be a masterpiece without that friction, and I think it's a required experience for anyone who wants to know what a pure role-playing game is like, and how to let the player have freedom without trivializing the world and without insulting the player's intelligence. Now buy the game and go have fun. Edit: this review is being seen by a lot of people, so I'll clarify. You can totally play this game without even a bug fix mod and the game is still a masterpiece. However I still would do it. That being said, the mod I recommend you use, the Morrowind Code Patch, also requires you to have access to all the expansions. So I would recommend that you play without any mods or fan patches or expansions enabled (you disable the expansions in the launcher) for a while, then after you feel comfortable with the basics of the game, install the Morrowind Code Patch and enable the two expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon. Also, be sure to read the manual! This is a game that was designed assuming people would read it. It came with the game, after all.
Hard to get into, rough around the edges, but still worth playing in 2026 If you are looking to experience this game for the first time, here's three things that might help: 1) Get the openMW project and use that to run your game. It's easy to set up and will be more stable on modern hardware, while also running smoother. It's also supports a lot of mods. 2) Get your reading glasses and get comfy. There is a lot of text. Only a few lines in the game are voiced. Quests have a lot of text, which will give you clues on possible solutions, locations and additional sources of information. Check your journal, check the dialogue options with NPCs, read books and letters. You really have to read a ton, if you want to keep up with your tasks and the main story. 3) Don't go full murder-hobo. Or do, I'm not your real Mom. If you kill certain NPCs, the main quest will not be able to progress, even if the NPCs are no longer required for the story. You will still be able to "finish" the main quest, but you will no longer be able to experience the journey to the finale. If you get a message after you killed an NPC, it's best to reload. Likewise, you can find non-critical NPCs out in the wild, some who even attack you, who are important to side quests. If you want to rank up in the factions. Killing them before you get the quest can sometimes lead to a bad quest outcome later on. Overall, the game is mechanically and visually dated, but the journey from "zero to hero" is very addicting, once you get into it. And there's a huge world to explore, full of opportunities to get side-tracked. I recommend starting your first character with at least one weapon skill in your major skills, so you can hit stuff. The best faction questline to start with, is the Temple's quest imo. It shows you a lot of the world, provides a challenge and gives you some cool rewards.
This game is a paradox. It's aged poorly, but still holds up. It's one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and it sucks as a game for playing a role. The reality is that it's probably too old and janky to be appealing to new players- it's from an era of gaming where you had to commit some time to learning HOW to play a game "correctly", and most players will be entirely turned off within minutes of walking into the starting town. To people who played this when it was still fresh, the scope of this game is still mind blowing decades later. It was made as Bethesda's dying breath- they knew this was their last shot before they were going to have to close their doors, so they poured their hearts and souls into it, taking every risk imaginable to make one of the most incredible pieces of media to exist. It's my favorite game of all time, and I'd recommend it only to people who are willing to: 1. Respect the game rules. You will have a bad time if you give a fighter magic-focused attributes- be sensical. 2. Enjoy the game rules. A low-level fighter type isn't going to cut it in the mage's guild- be intentional. 3. Absolutely disrespect the game rules. Wait, I can enchant a sword to let me levitate? Mage's guild here I come! You have to earn it, but the game DOES go from a hardcore RPG where class and gear choices matter into a total sandbox where anything is possible. I played one character who was a conjuration battlemage that liked to travel light. Just some robes and a ring or two, but as soon as combat started he would summon in heavy armor, a sword, a shield, and an ally to fight alongside him. It was a total blast. To the right person, Morrowind is an easy 11/10, but to most people this will be a 2/10 game. Which one are you?
