Where are the underwater caves? I've saved in Ebonheart, and I'm trying to find 'em.
It was 4.02GB for me. Europe version. Maybe it has extra voice and movie files.

You gotta enter from underwater outside of Ebonheart. Can't remember the exact location, but the dagger is just lying on the ground in there, you shouldn't have to go TOO far in.
Yeah, I am in the US and on the X and it was only 1.5GB also.
HUZZAH. I am now level 2. \o/
Also, thanks again, Hecht. Managed to get, not only the Glass Jinkblade, but also the Demon Katana and the Lord's Mail by killing some dude down there. Pretty neato.
EDIT: Hrm. How do you ping someone? I have no idea.

Uncapped so anywhere from 1 to 60.
Also just tested the GOTY disc of Morrowind, installing fine. Same icon as the digital version.
Still not sure whether to jump in, I still have the disc. Big fan of the series here. The game feels and looks much older than Conker and Panzer Dragoon. Bethesda games vanilla never age so good (although Oblivion looks decent with Xbox One X Enhanced). I also know that combat can be clunky, right? Not sure I would enjoy that part. But then questing is supposed to be the best in the series, and this entry of TES is still supposed to carry what made old RPGs great once... Mod support would be incredible but won't happen, of course.

Can't buy BC games with credit aside from on a 360.
Watching the videos in the OT really made me want to dive back into this game. I'm currently towards the end of my Skyrim run on the Switch version, and as much as I love that game and all the improvements that came to the formula between Morrowind and Skyrim, this game just had some magic which the later versions never quite recaptured for me personally. Maybe it's nostalgia goggles, but I feel Morrowind (and to a degree Oblivion) had far more unique areas and scenery along with just some weirdness (the giant transport bug things) that Skyrim seems to lack in its more grounded and snow/grey world.
But is the game really comfortable to play on touchscreen? Even thinking about it makes me grimace. Do you like the controls?
Khajiit has wares if you have money.

Let's see:

Probably tied with Skyrim for me.
I started playing a massive graphic overhaul modded version of Morrowind last year on my PC. However, the PC version doesn't have native controller support so I had to use Pinnacle to emulate the mouse with the view stick. It's pretty crappy.
I might just buy this for the Xbox just for better controller support.

I went back and played a bunch of this game last year. One thing I loved about it was the power ramp. At the beginning of the game you can't hit a rat on the side of the road. By the endgame you're crafting ridiculous enchantments that let you jump over entire cities. So satisfying. And because there's no level scaling they can make parts of the world actually feel dangerous, and put sweet unique loot in there for anyone willing to brave it. Hope folks trying it for the first time enjoy it.
So I played for about an hour earlier and man, you guys were not kidding about bad combat. I thought I was prepared but when my arrows randomly shoot nowhere near my crosshair I sit there wondering why I have a crosshair at all. Sometimes they angle down, sometimes left, there's no consistency. I definitely see how people love the game world though. The animations are hysterical too! Which they'd bumped up the draw distance a bit just for the sake of not having so much popping in and out on screen at once.
Think of the combat like early Mass Effect 1. The higher up the latter, the mode inconsequential it becomes.
It's not too bad if you consider that Morrowind is very much in the style of RPGs at the time where every action was a dice roll. It's just more noticeable in Morrowind because the game is in first person.
So it improves with skill leveling? I'm 100% more ok with it now that I know that.
Yeah. IIRC, your hit chance is a one to one interpretation of your skill level. Once you hit lvl 75 in a given skill, you're pretty much set.
Hate to break it to you, Morrowind DOES have level scaling. It's just done sooo much better than Oblivion and Skyrim.

Yep. It's kind of like first person free move turn based gaming.
I got annoyed with it even when it was out for a couple years but I just stopped thinking of it as an FPS (my first impression) and as a FP final fantasy with anninvisible ATB.
It's probably just the extra languages and voice over they did for the other European localisations of the game, nothing special
I'm jealous of everyone who is getting to play morrowind for the first time because of this. This game is an experience for sure.

I played it for an hour 15 years ago and gave up. Since then, I fell in love with the series after Oblivion and - to a lesser extent - Skyrim.
I am really curious as to how well this game holds up for relative newcomers - all these years later.
CONS:
* questionable combat mechanics (dice rolls for days!)
* seriously dated graphics
* walls and walls of text as 'dialogue'
PROS:
* an RPG that actually places an emphasis on story
* exploration and discovery provide an actual sense of adventure
* true player agency and character development
which is part of why it's so good-it has better characters and world-building than any ES game after it
having to voice everything fucked things just as hard as the simplified conversation system in Fallout 4 fucked things
No game until now has made me consider buying a One X, but God damn. Morrowind in 4K without jumping through hoops sounds amazing......
I am so jealous of those of you getting to play this for the first time. Welcome to the best the Elder Scrolls has to offer

Combat in the game is based on your characters ability. Its satisfying to watch your character grow from lowbie to god.
Counting down the hours until I get home from work.
Wasn't there a great sword hidden in the very first town you come to, on top of a closet or something? It's been long enough that I think this'll almost be like playing it for the first time again.

Don't forget the Ebony Mail is in a grotto around there as well
IIRC, the Steam version of the game is borked at fullscreen. You have to get the GOG version to fix that issue.
Beyond that, the only real way of getting this to run at higher resolutions without breaking shit is to utilize OpenMW. And if you want to use a controller, good fucking luck, because at high resolutions the UI scaling is beyond fucked in any version without mods, and you have to keep something like Xpadder or similar handy just to make sure shit relatively works.
Not having to do any of that to A) get controller support and, now, B) play the game at higher resolution/higher framerate than the OG hardware, just by buying a One S or One X, is pretty fuckin' incredible.
Aw fuck. I didn't even realize. Gotta go back to Ebonheart now.
Wait no, I'm an idiot
Not the Ebony Mail, the Lord's Mail.
Sorry it's been a while since I played.
No problem. I already grabbed that. The dude I killed for it didn't really want to die, though.
No matter. I ended him soon enough.
