2009

Should you play it?

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Game of the Year Edition includes Morrowind plus all of the content from the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions.

Things to keep in mind

  • Dated graphics and clunky combat
  • Steep learning curve and initial difficulty
  • Lack of modern conveniences (no quest markers, slow travel)
