Oblivion was the first fully-voiced Elder Scrolls game, and it did a lot to streamline the game mechanics to make them more accessible to a wider audience. Set in the Imperial province of Cyrodiil, Oblivion offered beautiful graphics that truly did this idyllic heartland province justice and pushed the 2006 computer and console hardware to its limits. The fourth main Elder Scrolls game took several steps forward and several steps back that most fans can agree on. Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows The latter expansion also added werewolves, in addition to introducing the new and expansive isle of Solstheim that came with a breadth of quests of its own.Īnd finally, seeing as it was released both for Windows and the original Xbox, Morrowind was the first Elder Scrolls game to be available on a console. The former added a new area – the city of Mournhold – as well as new quests but left the game’s mechanics mostly unchanged. Ultimately, the game’s only glaring flaw was that it still retained the dice-based combat system from the previous games, one that could get incredibly boring and monotonous, incredibly quickly.Īdditionally, Morrowind received two expansion packs: Tribunal and Bloodmoon.
However, it did scrap some of the previous game’s features that could not fit appropriately into Morrowind’s revised mechanics and the fully three-dimensional world.Īpart from its memorable and enchanting world, Morrowind is also known for having one of the best main questlines out of all the Elder Scrolls titles. It expanded upon the foundation set by Daggerfall, streamlining the gameplay experience.
Still, because of its unique look and due to there being no procedural generation involved, Morrowind easily delivers an amusing and immersive world that feels much bigger than it really is. Set in the namesake province of Morrowind, the game only encompassed a small portion of the said province (about 24 square kilometers). One of the most beloved games in the franchise, Morrowind went back to the series’ roots and delivered one of the best open-world RPG experiences ever created.
