Beyond Morrowind

Bethesda’s latest chapter to their Elders Scrolls saga, Oblivion, is promising leaps in advanced AI and gorgeous graphics.

Their previous game, Morrowind, was so beautiful when it was released 4 years ago, that the first steps outside of the village in the beginning gave an overwhelming sense of freedom.

I remember one of the very first things I did the first time I played was so sit on a rock and wait for the sun to set on the horizon.

With all its shortcomings (no game is perfect), Morrowind delivered a world so rich in adventures that  it is maybe the only game I know of that makes me feel as ‘going home’ when I start it up.

In anticipation of the new chapter, I came across several sites literally bursting with new content for Morrowind. And after a few weeks of downloads and fine tuning, I settled down on enough expansions to make Morrowind feel like a completely new game.

These changes are so extensive that I decided to give up my first (and only character in the game so far) and start all over again, from the beginning, which gives me a chance to explore the game from a fresh perspective.

I opened up this site to comment on the richness and depth of both games and their extensions
