Morrowind was my first proper RPG, and I was way too young to understand what it was asking of me. I was about six when it came out, playing it on the old cream-coloured family PC with one of those massive CRT monitors. The game barely ran. I borrowed the base game and the expansion packs from a childhood friend, back when we still called them expansion packs instead of DLC, and it absolutely blew my mind. I did not really understand quests at all. The idea of reading a journal and actually using my brain to work things out was a bit much for six year old me, so I mostly ignored the main story. But that did not matter. I spent hours and hours just existing in the world. Wandering around, levelling terribly, murdering random NPCs, robbing shops, clearing dungeons, and generally doing whatever I felt like. I must have sunk hundreds of hours into Morrowind without ever really “playing it properly”. Because of that, I have a huge amount of nostalgia for it. I eventually went out and bought my own copy from Gamestation in the UK, and I still own that copy today. Good old boxed PC-ROM games you actually had to install. That said, I still genuinely think it is an excellent game, even now. I have completed it a few times properly since I was a child, and it still holds up incredibly well. My Steam playtime is only my most recent playthrough, which I have barely even touched, and it still does not come close to how much time I have really spent in this game over the years. If you like RPGs, can tolerate older games, and are not completely fried by modern hand-holding design, Morrowind is absolutely worth playing. It is a proper sit down, get lost, and have an adventure kind of game. There is also an insane amount of content. The main quest alone is substantial, but it is only a small part of what the game offers. Guild questlines, Great House factions, Daedric quests, random caves, ruins, and side stories are everywhere. You can play for dozens of hours without touching the main story at all, and that is not even counting Tribunal and Bloodmoon, which add huge chunks of extra content on top. The world feels dense and deliberately paced rather than bloated, and almost everything feels meaningful to engage with. Josh Strife Hayes summed it up perfectly. Skyrim is basically an action game with some RPG bits tacked on. Oblivion sits somewhere in the middle. Morrowind is one of the last true RPGs, with just a little bit of action layered on top. Your stats matter. Your build matters. Dice rolls matter. The world does not care if you are confused or lost. You can fail badly and mess up your character or even your entire playthrough beyond repair. People hear that now and think it sounds like bad design, but honestly, that is part of what makes it so great. It does not treat you like you are stupid, and everything you achieve feels genuinely rewarding in a way modern games rarely manage anymore. Yes, it has flaws. The graphics are obviously dated, even if they still hold up surprisingly well for their age and art style. The levelling system is weird and poorly explained. The game is completely unapologetic about not holding your hand. There are no quest markers, no glowing paths, no constant reminders telling you exactly where to go. There are loads of mods, and the modding scene is incredible, but I would strongly recommend doing at least one mostly vanilla playthrough first, the way the game was intended. After that, go wild. There are mods out there that overhaul systems, massively improve visuals, and add hundreds of hours of extra content. Instead of holding your hand like you are an idiot, the game tells you to talk to people, explore, and figure things out. Someone will say “go south-west from this town, past a rock, near the coast, and look for a cave”, and that is the entire quest log. When you finally find the place or the item, it feels genuinely rewarding because you did it yourself, not because you followed an icon on a map. It really is one of the last truly great RPGs ever made. If you have never played Morrowind and you enjoy, or want, a real RPG experience, love The Elder Scrolls in general, or have any interest in the Dunmer and their weird, alien land and lore, you absolutely should give it a go. It demands patience, but it gives a lot back in return, and almost everything you do feels genuinely earned.

It is a terrible, glorious broken mess, and I love it. This game is a pain in the a$$. There is no objective marker, just vague instructions about where to go o and what to do. Sometimes those directions are given in a made up elvish language. The character creator is awesome. You can make a character so bad that it just doesn't level up. Inversely, you can make such a broken character that it levels up crazy fast, and maxes out relevant stats. I think my love for this game comes from rose tinted glasses, because I played it when it first came out, and it was genuinely the first open world RPG that made it work. This isn't a video game, this is a piece of art history. Leonardo Da Vinci couldnt have predicted such a magnificent piece of art.

Coming from a girl that started the elder scrolls series from Skyrim. Despite how dated the game is you can clearly see how epic and deep the lore and gameplay of story is than its successors in the first five minutes. I would love to see a remaster one day. But I fully implore all fans of rpgs young and old to give the alien world of Morrowind a chance.
