Morrowind is easily the greatest of the elder scrolls games. It's been downhill since then. What I wouldn't give to play through it again for the first time

Me too. I wouldn't even want a remake with updated assets - 4k is great but I'd rather just experience it for the first time again in all its original glory.

Have you tried Tamriel Rebuilt which build in mainland Morrowind? It has as much depth as, if not more than, the base game. Their latest release last year, Old Ebonheart is the best city that's been in any Elder Scroll game in my worthless opinion.

Same issues here. Couldn't log on earlier, now code isn't valid. Bethesda seemingly can't even give away something for free right now without some sort of screw up.

I tried to redeem it as a backup incase my physical cd's failed, but I think I'll just take my chances with disc rot instead.

Bethesda is currently under heavy load. Their site is gradually recovering and the code redemption page is currently offline. Check back later before EOD today.

This art is amazing, cool they're showing all of the towers the PCs fucked up throughout the games that will eventually doom the entire world.

If you're interested in playing ESO, don't sleep on that free to play period the game is amazing and only gets better.

Agreed. A remake would just fuck it up with POI compass and quest markers and fast travel
Ha, everything that would take out the magic of exploration.

I like the looks of this. Will definitely download, thanks!

Invalid code here too. And they wonder why nobody on PC wants to leave the comfy embrace of Steam.

Yo, try logging on the launcher, it worked for me, but says the code is invalid.

Bethesda going to Bethesda, I guess. It's a shame as I've never playing Morrowind, but have always wanted to give it a try.

Guess I'll take this opportunity to post this somewhat related classic:

So, whenever I open up the launcher, I'm met with whatever the fuck this is. Never had a window be diagonally cut in half, rotated to the left, and totally inverted!

Hmm code worked for me, my god I installed Bethesda Launcher for something, finally, heh :)

Any good overhaul mods out there that make Morrowind more modern looking?

Oh, Morrowind.
Maybe it's time for me to actually beat that game.

I think it's genuinely brilliant. Possibly my favorite wrpg. But every time I go back to it, I wonder... Is this movement speed normal? Or is my computer just fucking with me? And yes, I know there are mods. It's just hard for me to live my life with the belief that Bethesda thought that was okay.

Morrowind is my favourite elder scrolls game, be wary it can be tough to start. Unlike other games where you leave the starting dungeon with basic gear, in Morrowind you start with only the clothes on your back and whatever you can steal from the imperial census office.

The density of dungeons in the world map is very high compared to later games. Making the PC super slow was a design decision to counter act this.

On the plus side once you level up acrobatics and athletics you become hilariously fast.

Since they fucked up the key redemption system, Morrowind is now free until Sunday 31.

Nice. I didn't have the game in my Bethesda account, so just got it. Quite possibly my favorite RPG.

I'll ask here. Is anyone else having a problem where the screen shifts to the left in perspective when running the game in full screen (as if using the ALT-GR + Left Arrow command)? If I try to correct it with the same method, it crashes my game. Window mode works fine.

Is this version not compatible with MGE XE mod? After installing the mod, I just get the message "The application was Unable to start correctly"
