The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind Reviews
The release of TESO: Morrowind is the perfect time for fans of the Elder Scrolls single player games to jump in and give the MMORPG a try if they've been hesitant so far. Even if you just play as a lone wolf and want to experience the game's stories and quests as well as explore past Vvardenfell, it's worth the price of admission.
While this is a great nostalgia trip for those that are fans of the original, it's still outclassed by better, more popular games.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a dream come true for many diehard Vvardenfell fans, and does an admirable job in presenting something new and fresh in a way that also makes sure to pay homage to the past. The game expands ESO to include a new 4x4x4 arena mode, and offers hours of new content to enjoy. Any players who are already enjoying Elder Scrolls Online should be expanding, and any fans of the original Morrowind who have held out on ESO may want to consider giving it a try now.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is completely at odds with itself. At times, it doesn't feel like an expansion – featuring just more of the same rote quest designs that you've seen in Elder Scrolls Online. At other times, the writing is some of the best in the entirety of the Elder Scrolls Online world. Nostalgia for the region aside and Battlegrounds that'll surely flourish with updates, Morrowind doesn't do anything aggressively offensive, but doesn't quite innovate either.
„Morrowind” is a perfect place to start playing The Elder Scrolls Online. If you haven't done it yet, console version of Vvardenfell should properly get you up to speed.

I can still say without a doubt that I have enjoyed Morrowind better than the initial release of ESO. The world seems a bit more alive and explorable. There also seems to be more polished adventure/quests going on in the initial release of Morrowind, which tells me that ZeniMax has learned a few things from past ESO lessons. Despite my disdain for some of the boss fights that are incredibly difficult when going solo in the game, the overall package of Morrowind really does provide an upgrade to the ESO family in several areas. If you haven't played ESO, but have enjoyed The Elder Scrolls series, then this might be the right time to jump in to see what it is about.
In the end, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind was a fun experience.
15 years ago you walked the land of Morrowind... now set foot upon those lands again and experience them with fresh eyes and with a rousing orchestral score!
Offers hours more Elder Scrolls, for those who want hours more Elder Scrolls.
A wonderful story and an intriguing world filled with eye candy that only the Elder Scrolls series could deliver.
Which in the end gets a lot of things right, in addition to feeling like a traditional open-world Elder Scrolls RPG expansion. In that sense, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a definite success, it faithfully recreates and updates the iconic location for both modern audiences and modern gaming hardware. Seriously, simply walking around and taking in all the sights is worth the price of admission alone.
Morrowind has a little something for everyone, but it's hard to justify the price for those who don't plan on experiencing everything it has to offer.
For anyone who played The Elder Scrolls III, who yearns for Morrowind and the island of Vvardenfell, being able to revisit even the shadow of those memories is a treat. The old theme music swells, you take those first steps into Seyda Neen, and it's almost the same. Close enough, anyway—like seeing the reunion tour of your favorite band. They're older, maybe less daring, but the hits are timeless.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a great return for the MMO made by ZeniMax and Bethesda Softwork. A standalone add-on for a brand new adventure, in the legendary island of Vvanderfell.

Still, that nostalgia is a powerful motivator, and ZeniMax and Bethesda have delivered on it almost perfectly. If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to return to Morrowind, take a ship from one of TESO’s capital cities and get ready to ride a silt strider down memory lane. You won’t be disappointed.
From the immersive main storyline to the references to the original game, ESO: Morrowind is an enjoyable addition that has rekindled my interest in MMOs.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is worth checking out if you're looking for a fix of single-player Elder Scrolls adventuring like Skyrim, especially as there's no mainline sequel expected for quite some time.
The return of Morrowind will certainly be hitting the right notes with many fans of the series, but it also adds to a growing list of reasons as to why The Elder Scrolls series is better as a solo experience.
The game’s new PvP mode, Battlegrounds, is the most interesting feature of Morrowind upgrade after Vvardenfell for me; and I think it will be the most interesting for you too. Game shows itself to you in a way that you have never seen until now, which makes it impressive. ZeniMax Online Studios’ The Elder Scrolls Online, gets itself an expansion which is almost flawless with Morrowind. A brand-new class, new map, missions with depth and diversity, Battlegrounds mode will be waiting for you with The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind. I can say that I did not come across a flaw, except the disappointing new training and new sometimes-can-be-superficial PvP mode. This shows how admirable The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is an expansion whose additions won't be enough to take this MMO to new heights, but those that are already on board will surely enjoy it, especially if their love for the original trip to Vvardenfell (or Tamriel in general) still burns strong.
