As someone who went from Skyrim/Oblivion to Morrowind, (I've been playing Morrowind for 2 years now.) It's by far one of my favorite games ever and I'm glad the community remembers it even if Bethesda has ignored it.
Hard to believe Morrowind is 20 years old already. I remember when I got it. Me and two of my buddies in the Army got it. My laptop at the time barely ran it but it worked well enough. Another buddy had it on his computer and the another on the Xbox. We would sit around and play it together and drink for hours into the night. If one of us found something interesting the others would drop what they were doing to come and see what it was. We would compare notes on stuff. Between the three of us it felt like we were all a party of adventurers traveling together even without multiplayer. No game I have ever played even with multiplayer has ever came as close to making me feel that.
Man that sounds so much fun! Seriously I gotta try that sometime with a friend now. Just bring two laptops or TVs together and play Morrowind or another game like that thanks for the good idea
All this from M'aiq the liar himself!? What's next, "island of naked women", "weresharks"??? Lmao all jokes aside, thats an awesome way to enjoy such an amazing game 🤘
You bring back some similar memories I have of early 2000s gaming when I was in the Air Force. We used to play Rainbow Six split screen on Dreamcast. So many fun times. Or the original Ghost Recon another fun one.
dragon quest 3 was mine but i got morrowind as soon as i could and yeah the no map marker thing sucked but everyone dropped it like a bad habbit when they swing a blade that is inside the monster and YOU MISSED!
Unfortunately for me i started with fallout 3😕 what a good rpg game to start role play as, like you have so many choices in the game such as like either being the brotherhood's bitch or being the brotherhood's bitch or........ being the brotherhood's bitch wow so many factions and role playing choices😒
The learning curve is insane for Morrowind, and the beginning you die a lot, but the fact you can use levitate in this game and basically fly around has never made me feel so free lmao. Going from Skyrim to this game is a punch in the gut, but it's so satisfying to grind and gain experience...I'm just happy to see this game is still well loved.
Anyone who complains about Morrowind's directions to places should be forced to play Asheron's Call. In that game, you've got a 24² mile continent that you get to navigate by latitude/longitude and some even worse directions from a questgiver. And the fast travel is done via portals, so if you want to get somewhere _fast,_ you'd better start taking notes about what town has what portals to where, and _still_ be prepared to walk half a mile out into the boonies looking for a McGuffin.
I remember simply getting to the next town alive was a huge deal to me. I always played as a Sho staff user, because the manual mentioned something about them in the lore. Never mind that staffs sucked iirc lol
they should only blame themselves for not reading basic directions tbh, Only time I had issues finding where to go was the 2 times directions were based off of riddles like the cave of the incarnate and white guar quest, besides that all NPCs gave me clear and concise directions that were easy to read.
I mean, just because something else is worse doesn't make Morrowind's directions good. The directions NPCs give are very hit or miss. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're terrible, and in one or two cases they're just completely wrong.
This had no right to be as wholesome as it is, and yet you hit the nail on the head, goddamn it My Two Pence. Why you gotta hit us in the feels again and again? 😅
that why as soon as oblivion came out every EVERY on said no trust us man its morrowind but good. also morrowind is why oblivion made followers imortal cuse everyone save scumbed the fuck out of it when they died. take off the rose colored glasses
@@hardwirecars I knew people who complained about having to reload after killing Essential NPC's in morrowind, but honestly i didn't have that issue on my first playthrough when it first came out. It was pretty easy to avoid not by going apes@&t and burning towns to the ground. In fact one essential (Vivc) you wanted to soultrap after you finished with him.
@@hardwirecars oblivion sucked because there was no magical feeling of exploration in dungeons/caves/or the map itself. There was nothing that made one dungeon/cave feel unique over another. Oblivion definitely had better game mechanics, especially sneaking, lockpicking, and speech, but the exploration felt soulless and there wasn't enough unique dialog or voice actors.
Finished the video. I do feel bad for the modern zoomer generation. Most games are utterly hollow and devoid of any real sense of discovery and accomplishment. You wouldn't believe how bonkers I acted when I finally discovered how to get the true ending for King's Field II (one of From Software's earlier games) on my own way back during the psx era after countless bad endings. Complete satisfaction.
Eh, there’s plenty of good games coming out these days. AAA is a little lacking (though, From Software exists), but there’s plenty of great indie and AA games.
@@googleisawful1473 yeah most indie games now are following the trend of "its a pixilated game that's an allegory for depression" route But yeah, not all modern games are hollow monetizing shit
@@Outlaw7263 There's a lot of lame indie games, but there's also stuff like Kenshi, Rimworld, all the boomer shooter revivalists, etc. And the AA sphere has had a pretty big CRPG revival. I honestly think there's a ton of good newer games.
to be honest it's really good and well strategized move from a father. Giving your son a pretty good challenge ( it's real hard to do it without any solid outside help) and give a proper motivation, while realising that his son won't be able to utilize the reward, making a ground for new and the most terrifying challenge for a spoiled kid, find a job to buy at least two new compaments for PC😂
This video speaks to me in so many ways. My friends and I all played Morrowwind in high school. We shared our stories everyday and loved comparing our adventures. I expected to laugh and instead I grew nostalgic about days long gone. My sons and I do love our soulsborne and elden ring games though.
what always amuses me is that i was 10 years old playing morrowind, i did not read the manual, i did not read a wiki/guides. i was able to pick up the game, play and start enjoying it. i dont understand how people find it hard to get into these days. the systems really arent that hard to understand
Same people who play elden ring and don't level vigor and then whine and complain. Not the game's (Morrowind's) fault people don't understand the fatigue and skill system.
They ARE hard to understand, if you're unaccustomed to the mechanics that govern old-school rpg's, much as we might be if we attempted to play "Zork" today without any background knowledge. You have to put yourself in the place of the modern gamer to see it from their perspective.
Loved when zoomer was like " I hate this boomer game, I'm gonna play something modern." and booted up Elden Ring only to screech at it. Lol bet you zoomer didn't level vigor.
He is absolutely right about the freedom of Morrowind. I had a friend who never really did the main quest, or even many of the guilds. He just wandered the game's world fighting monsters and helping strangers. But even he had hours of stories to tell.
I remember I created a "Hunter" class character and all I ever did was spear fish and beat up guys in caves. I got to some ungodly level, like 80 just doing that. My big tiddy goth gf was sooo mad because "that's not how you're supposed to play." She of course was a dark elf or some bullshit. I was a majestic Nord wearing no armor or even clothes ever, just running free and killing everyone in my path who talked shit. Remember those days fondly.
this is great, but you should have taught the skyrimmer about what things in Morrowind beat the piss out of Skyrimjob. 1.) Racials being not only relevant, but beneficial to your character for the entire game, compared to khajiit having claws for a racial, in a game where they removed hand-to-hand skill. 2.) Having to prove yourself worthy every time you meet someone new, compared to everyone in the world licking your boots and calling you dragonboner. 3.) A spell-making system for when you get bored of flare, compared to holding down your clicks and channeling fire or throwing icicles all game with no other spell options. 4.) Every NPC is mortal, so if you want to you can kill anyone, not only that, but the game can still be played and beaten if you kill an important character. For example you can kill Vivec and take Wraithguard from him, then do a quest-line to identify it and harness it's power, instead of doing it the intended way. P.S. while I was thinking of things to include in this rant, it did make me think of one thing Skyrimjob did well. Having an NPC walk around with you and mule your extra gear was nice. "I am sworn to carry your burdens..."
Ah, the pack mule followers... Like the adorable little scribs you could buy in Mornhold to carry a 100 of weight units and which had more personality :D
1) while it is true that hand-to-hand skill was removed ,you can still play a hand - to - hand character with dedicated races , perks , enchants and animations 2) i don't really get what you mean ? in both games you have 2 complete quests , persuade or beat some1 to get what you want and in both games you are a chosen one with special treatment from the start 3) if skyrim have only 1 kind of spell "holding a button" (and that's not true) then morrowind only have 1 as well :"Clicking the button" :) 4) yes you can kill every NPC but you cannot beat the game after you kill certain important characters ... and there are even NPC that are not marked as "important" that will block progression after you kill them (but that's probably another "it just works" Todd moment and not a design decision )
1:34 How the fuck you make laugh then start to get emotional all at the same time. I fucking love you goddamm! I really feel like we would be best friends mate, literally felt like I wrote this script with you. This was great, not only do I feel old but proud!
Man. I loved playing all the games from Fable, FF franchise, Rachitt and clank, Elder Scrolls, Phantasy Star franchise, Pokémon, the list goes on. Introduce all of it to my kids and they couldn't get a new console untill they finished games on older ones first. They loved it. PC gaming came in and we still game to this day. Ahh the memories.
That moment when Boomer-dad is talking about playing the game and discussing what he had done in it with his friends.... my God, I have become boomer, reader of text blocks... also I teared up a little remembering that experience.
This was beautiful in such a creepy, cheerful kind of way. Pence I found your channel when you first started making these and it feels like I was one of the lucky few who discovered a hidden gem. Also as others have said, mine went Oblivion to FO3, to NV to Skyrim and then I finally went and played Morrowind. It became my favorite RPG of all time. I even attempted to play daggerfall for the first time last year but that hasn't quiet has got as far yet haha.
Morrowind to oblivion then back to morrowind. I dont know anything about the other games except that daggerfall unity is amazing and arena is practically unplayable.
@@justinbennett9998 Well good news for you if you want to find out, just a few days ago for the first time, Bethesda added all the old Elder Scrolls games pre-Morrowind to Steam, including Arena, Daggerfall and the Legends games. :)
Went from Oblivion to Skyrim then to Morrowind. Couldn't get into it but then found a light mod list to fix a few things ( mainly the combat) and fell in love with it.
I like the fact you have to read your journal and follow the road signs, it gives you the feeling of actual exploration. Or when you try to rest outside, and Dark Brotherhood assassins come for your ass-
Id played Morrowind before but never got far as a kid. revisited it over the holidays and binged it for three weeks straight. Still as magical as I remember it.
What a perfect video to celebrate Morrowinds 20th Anniversary haha. I may not be a Boomer but I relate to the Dad in this big time. When I first got Morrowind I was 12 (Now 27) and didn't have the internet or any friends who gamed on PC or had even heard of The Elder Scrolls. I had never experienced anything like playing Morrowind. (I still haven't to this day.)
Tried Morrowind when I was 5-6 yr old and couldn’t grasp the concepts My first truly good experience was Oblivion Just started playing again on Xbox and it’s a great game good detail.
I find it baffling someone put you in front of morrowind at such a young age and thought you'd be able to play it without at least a middle school reading level. That's like trying to explain quantum physics and subatomic particles to a 4th grade class. Still it's good you were able to revisit it and find joy.
I settled right into Morrowind when I first tried it. The UI was fairly familiar to me, as it was very close to that of the Fate games, an isometric dungeon crawler I played around 2009.
This video takes me back hard. I grabbed this game from a pawnshop and i had to learn everything by hand at first. No game afterwards ever gave me that first feeling of morrowind
Skulk around towns asking about rumors. Hear about a location. Check your journal, cross-reference your map, figure out the best way to get there, which fixed location fast travel service gets you to the closest or most navigable point. On the road again. Handle any pests or brigands along the way. Find where you're looking for. Dive into the blossoming little story/delve of what the rumor back in town planted the seed for in the first place. As far as the process of "being an adventurer" goes, Morrowind has an unmatched sense of immersion. Compass markers and at-will hop-skip-and-a-jump fast traveling are not inherently "bad" innovations for these RPGs, but to me they certainly have a way of making the world seem smaller.
When I realised that Morrowind was 20 years old, I felt old like shit. But I'll always remember the good times I had in my teens playing this magnificent game, and it'll always stand as one of my personal top 3 GOAT RPGs, imho! I guess I'm a boomer now.
I grew up on this, if you couldn't tell. I love the online mod. I also remember the cheat codes for health, Magicka and Stamina, along with the spell trick.
You and I grew up in different parts of the world pence, but god damn did we have the same upbringing as we cast our journey through Midgar and Vvardenfell - saluted Lavitz at his end, wondered if there were any more hotdogs in the Cafeteria and felt Zidane's struggle when we really didn't need a reason to help someone. Thank you, my friend. Keep the faith
I was like 9-10 years old when Me and my Dad saw the trailer for marrowind at GameStop when we walked past the TVs. It blew our minds and my dad bought an Xbox and a copy for us to play. We still play Games to this day haha.
Ok mate, teared up a bit. Remember myself bying a CD in a metro underpass afer collecting my lunch money for way too long, and rushing home on a rusty bus to play it on my dad's brick of a pc.... 20 bloody years eh..
As someone who never played Morrowind back in the day + I wouldve never understood it, I still got kind of bittersweet nostalgic from this. I was probably playing Crash Bandicoot on my brothers PS1 at that time, miss those simpler times.
you know what's sad though? life is the real game and we're supposed to have this nostalgia and passion and devotion to life. but instead we spent that on whichever game captured our attention at age 14 and then we finished it too soon and then became adults trying to desperately recapture some sad feeling of a digital life we lived once
I started playing the series in 2015 and I don't regret making Morrowind the first game to play, its kinda ironic too since I always went Nord before even playing Skyrim.
I've played many games, and I almost passed on Morrowind because I found it obtuse. However, it was held in such high regard I decided to give it another go, and understand that it was going to be an uncomfortable adjustment. That I needed to change my expectations in order to experience something truly great.
Skyrim : Delphine is unconscious Oblivion : Brother Martin is unconscious Morrowind : With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created
I went from skyrim to morrowind. First I hated it, left it, revisited it after doing some research on how the game worked and how to actually make a character that would survive, then started to really enjoy the game. I just had to accept all of its quirks and work with them, not against them, and working within those parameters. I feel like most zoomers who get into morrowind go through that process of failing first time, quitting, then coming back to it with a better perspective and understanding which helps them to finally get into and enjoy the game.
That heartbeat sound effect at the end of the video is not a sound effect, it's the actual sound of the Heart of Lorkhan echoing through the brane and into Zoomer's very soul.
I had a character that was the head of every joinable faction on Vvardenfel. All of them. Fighters, Thieves and Mages guilds. Morag Tong, Temple, Imperial Cult, Imperial Legion and Blades Head of Houses Redoran and Hlaalu. Champion of the Daedric Princes and Ashlander tribes, destroyer of the Sixth House, slayer of Dagoth-Ur. Hortator. Neravarine. Morrowind, bro.😎
Original Xbox really brought the fans some great stuff, Morrowind originally PC got a new home on Xbox, GTA 3 , Vice City , and soon San Andres originally PS2 got the same treatment
Ahh the memories. First thing I would do is head to Sheogorath's shrine to start the Spear of Bitter Mercy quest and use that mighty weapon for my Morag Tong playthrough. You can imagine how heartbroken I was when I found out spear type weapons were removed in Oblivion and Skyrim.😥

Introduce all of it to my kids and they couldn't get a new console untill they finished games on older ones first. They loved it. PC gaming came in and we still game to this day. Ahh the memories.
That multiplayer section is so wholesome
That moment when Boomer-dad is talking about playing the game and discussing what he had done in it with his friends.... my God, I have become boomer, reader of text blocks... also I teared up a little remembering that experience.
Becoming Hortator broke me a lil bit.
This was beautiful in such a creepy, cheerful kind of way. Pence I found your channel when you first started making these and it feels like I was one of the lucky few who discovered a hidden gem. Also as others have said, mine went Oblivion to FO3, to NV to Skyrim and then I finally went and played Morrowind. It became my favorite RPG of all time. I even attempted to play daggerfall for the first time last year but that hasn't quiet has got as far yet haha.
Thank you 💖
@@MyTwoPence You are welcome! Keep up the good work. 😀
Morrowind to oblivion then back to morrowind. I dont know anything about the other games except that daggerfall unity is amazing and arena is practically unplayable.
@@justinbennett9998 Well good news for you if you want to find out, just a few days ago for the first time, Bethesda added all the old Elder Scrolls games pre-Morrowind to Steam, including Arena, Daggerfall and the Legends games. :)
@@kupokinzyt i found them last night....
Happy 20th anniversary Morrowind!
Went from Oblivion to Skyrim then to Morrowind. Couldn't get into it but then found a light mod list to fix a few things ( mainly the combat) and fell in love with it.
Combat and a couple of item screen issues could be gr8ly improved but Morrowing is my favorite!
I can't believe you actually got me tearing up at a TTS speech about retro video games
How did this get me right in the emotions 😭❤️😀 I am sentimental about old games I played like that too
“Please don’t eat the weeds, your highness.”
4:44 I felt that. The mystery of the old days, before internet was common. I miss that era.
I did not come here looking for paternal wholesomeness, but I'm happy I found it nonetheless
I like the fact you have to read your journal and follow the road signs, it gives you the feeling of actual exploration. Or when you try to rest outside, and Dark Brotherhood assassins come for your ass-
Morrowind was my first introduction into CRPGs, and I love every moment of it.
Id played Morrowind before but never got far as a kid. revisited it over the holidays and binged it for three weeks straight. Still as magical as I remember it.
Best TES game ever, thanks to Todd's room partner to leave the game right there for Todd to stole it
What a perfect video to celebrate Morrowinds 20th Anniversary haha. I may not be a Boomer but I relate to the Dad in this big time. When I first got Morrowind I was 12 (Now 27) and didn't have the internet or any friends who gamed on PC or had even heard of The Elder Scrolls. I had never experienced anything like playing Morrowind. (I still haven't to this day.)
The father's monologues is honestly a really good summary of what makes this game so brilliant.
seeing the small clip of The Legend Of Dragoon really brought me back. I might just have to break out my PS1 and do another playthrough of it
Just wait until he finds out there is no autosave and weapons don't land most of the time.
I remember I COULDN'T FIND THAT %#"%^ING DWEMER BOX. I searched that entire dungeon for 2 hours before I found that little $%^#.
Oh man… Legend of the Dragoon. Yeah, same exact feeling.
>1 month to beat Morrowind
Most unrealistic thing I heard all year
Tried Morrowind when I was 5-6 yr old and couldn’t grasp the concepts
My first truly good experience was Oblivion
Just started playing again on Xbox and it’s a great game good detail.
I find it baffling someone put you in front of morrowind at such a young age and thought you'd be able to play it without at least a middle school reading level. That's like trying to explain quantum physics and subatomic particles to a 4th grade class. Still it's good you were able to revisit it and find joy.
I settled right into Morrowind when I first tried it. The UI was fairly familiar to me, as it was very close to that of the Fate games, an isometric dungeon crawler I played around 2009.
FF7 was my first RPG bro so not gonna lie you hit me with the feels. You nailed the way it felt perfectly.
*When the music from Morrowind starts...*
Stop it! I don't want to cry again.
This video takes me back hard. I grabbed this game from a pawnshop and i had to learn everything by hand at first. No game afterwards ever gave me that first feeling of morrowind
Skulk around towns asking about rumors. Hear about a location. Check your journal, cross-reference your map, figure out the best way to get there, which fixed location fast travel service gets you to the closest or most navigable point. On the road again. Handle any pests or brigands along the way. Find where you're looking for. Dive into the blossoming little story/delve of what the rumor back in town planted the seed for in the first place. As far as the process of "being an adventurer" goes, Morrowind has an unmatched sense of immersion.
Compass markers and at-will hop-skip-and-a-jump fast traveling are not inherently "bad" innovations for these RPGs, but to me they certainly have a way of making the world seem smaller.
This makes me want to cry.
The nostalgia feels but in a good way.
"Yeah bro spamming M1 and hitting 1/900 times is so fun trust me bro"
This is a way to celebrate the anniversary.
When I realised that Morrowind was 20 years old, I felt old like shit.
But I'll always remember the good times I had in my teens playing this magnificent game, and it'll always stand as one of my personal top 3 GOAT RPGs, imho!
I guess I'm a boomer now.
I grew up on this, if you couldn't tell. I love the online mod. I also remember the cheat codes for health, Magicka and Stamina, along with the spell trick.
I played Morrowind fully for the first time last year. Fell in love with it after a lot of frustration.
The game really started for me after I was killed by a slaughterfish in Seyda Neen. After that I was forced to... read things.
You and I grew up in different parts of the world pence, but god damn did we have the same upbringing as we cast our journey through Midgar and Vvardenfell - saluted Lavitz at his end, wondered if there were any more hotdogs in the Cafeteria and felt Zidane's struggle when we really didn't need a reason to help someone.
Thank you, my friend. Keep the faith
We did friend and thank you for the support
Morrowind was my first open world game as a kid, and holy shit will it always be a source of nostalgia
Looool here's the content!
I was like 9-10 years old when Me and my Dad saw the trailer for marrowind at GameStop when we walked past the TVs. It blew our minds and my dad bought an Xbox and a copy for us to play. We still play Games to this day haha.
This was special. Very cool. Thankyou
Ok mate, teared up a bit.
Remember myself bying a CD in a metro underpass afer collecting my lunch money for way too long, and rushing home on a rusty bus to play it on my dad's brick of a pc....
20 bloody years eh..
Nobody PICKS a class. They make one.
As someone who never played Morrowind back in the day + I wouldve never understood it, I still got kind of bittersweet nostalgic from this. I was probably playing Crash Bandicoot on my brothers PS1 at that time, miss those simpler times.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH 20 years lads and lasses.
Beat it in a month... That’s like asking to do the entire Kama sutra in 13 seconds.
Millenials trying to play Morrowind:
*I dont need quest markers*
*I dont need them*
*I dont need them*
*I NEED THEEM!!!!!!*
We need a follow up featuring the grandpa who used to play Daggerfall.
Part 4: The dead relative who used to play Arena
It's been a week or two since I last talked to Caius after fetching that puzzle cube.
My speed is already 100... lol.
you know what's sad though? life is the real game and we're supposed to have this nostalgia and passion and devotion to life. but instead we spent that on whichever game captured our attention at age 14 and then we finished it too soon and then became adults trying to desperately recapture some sad feeling of a digital life we lived once
Morrowind was magical. the soundtrack. the freedom. this game ruined my life in the most wonderful ways.
I started playing the series in 2015 and I don't regret making Morrowind the first game to play, its kinda ironic too since I always went Nord before even playing Skyrim.
Yes, thats true.
Morrowind have Multiplayer mode.
"No minimap"
What?? Yes there is.
I've played many games, and I almost passed on Morrowind because I found it obtuse. However, it was held in such high regard I decided to give it another go, and understand that it was going to be an uncomfortable adjustment. That I needed to change my expectations in order to experience something truly great.
"You would spend one hundreds of hours"

BatChest Disappearance of the Dwarves BatChest
Showing Legend of Dragoon when he first starts talking about being sad about beating a game....
4:23 - 4:42 I always wondered what it was about Morrowind that was so special... I think that's a big part of it.
Skyrim : Delphine is unconscious
Oblivion : Brother Martin is unconscious
Morrowind : With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created
That moment when you realize had you been born a year and nine days earlier, you'd share your twentieth birthday with Morrowind. I feel old, lol.
Got recommended the first part, check to see if you happened to post part 2, and you literally just did. Today is a good day.
I went from skyrim to morrowind. First I hated it, left it, revisited it after doing some research on how the game worked and how to actually make a character that would survive, then started to really enjoy the game. I just had to accept all of its quirks and work with them, not against them, and working within those parameters. I feel like most zoomers who get into morrowind go through that process of failing first time, quitting, then coming back to it with a better perspective and understanding which helps them to finally get into and enjoy the game.
Never expected Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time to pop up in Morrowind video 😅
Hell yeah! Legend of Dragoon representation!
Oh boy... we need part 3
Hey there! Working on episode 3 as we speak hopefully I can get it completed this weekend
@@MyTwoPence woww, that's awesome man thanks for all your content, I really enjoy it mate.. love from Brazil..
Oh man, I really wanna see the third part! I dunno why I'm invested, but I'm hopeful
Happy 20th Anniversary Morrowind 🥹
That heartbeat sound effect at the end of the video is not a sound effect, it's the actual sound of the Heart of Lorkhan echoing through the brane and into Zoomer's very soul.
In the next episode:
Iron Dagger Barbarian without stamina vs. Paralyzing Scrib!
I had a character that was the head of every joinable faction on Vvardenfel. All of them. Fighters, Thieves and Mages guilds. Morag Tong, Temple, Imperial Cult, Imperial Legion and Blades Head of Houses Redoran and Hlaalu. Champion of the Daedric Princes and Ashlander tribes, destroyer of the Sixth House, slayer of Dagoth-Ur. Hortator. Neravarine.
Morrowind, bro.😎
Playing morrowind for the first time today. Wish me luck
Original Xbox really brought the fans some great stuff, Morrowind originally PC got a new home on Xbox, GTA 3 , Vice City , and soon San Andres originally PS2 got the same treatment
Ahh the memories. First thing I would do is head to Sheogorath's shrine to start the Spear of Bitter Mercy quest and use that mighty weapon for my Morag Tong playthrough. You can imagine how heartbroken I was when I found out spear type weapons were removed in Oblivion and Skyrim.😥
