Wealth beyond measure, outlander.
Morrowind as a game is a masterpiece. Flawed in some deep, deep ways, yet even in the flaws it is fun. Truly the thing that makes morrowind what it is boils down to two things:
1. Hostility. This place hates you. It is an island of xenophobic, don’t-tread-on-me style assholes, covered in swamps and ash and terrifying monsters. But you will climb the ranks and earn respect. You will master it and make them know you.
2. The pants on head legit crazy metaphysics and lore hidden approach a level of detail you find in actual, real world occult systems. The lessons of vivec hold “hidden (or occult!)” meaning; the prophecy is not a standard video game “you’re special” but more a criteria you may or may not fit. Concepts like time, the nature of physical reality, and more are all discussed and examined if you look here.
If you just want to fight repetitive enemies in linear dungeons, go elsewhere. But if you want to get lost in a truly alien world and connect with a real sense of the fantastic, then welcome to Vvardenfell!
