    ESO as a whole is a fun and solid MMO, especially one that is buy-to-play. This expansion (or DLC) adds a new class which is always fun, but it just feels a little shallow. The price is rather high and you don't get a lot for the money. Helps to add on to the game, just not much, and not $40 worth either.

Of course this isn't Bethesda's game, it is Zenimax, but I for some reason expected some of the the cities, characters, and vibes from the original game to carry over. The cities are cool, but just lack feeling. The buildings are closed for the most part, and there is not much to do aside from the usual shops and the NPCs involved with my active quests. In Morrowind, just about every destination and persona had huge amounts of character. It just feels to me like they skimmed a little bit of morrowind off the top and sprinkled it on to their MMO. I appreciate this gesture to appease long term fans, but you CAN'T SKIMP THE DETAILS when trying to compare to an incredible classic game like Morrowind.

    Disappointment aside, I really like the storylines, dialogues, and MAIN characters. Some locations are very detailed, but overuse of props doesn't make up for the lack of meaningful accessible locations and interesting characters. I also think that for an expansion or "Chapter" that costs two thirds as much as a newly released PS4 games should have content quality and quantity that justifies the price. I DO enjoy the new class addition. Only a small handful of new armor sets and weapons were introduced, and the mounts and pets do not really seem to be relevant to the content at all. Maybe my opinion will start to change as I get farther through the content, who knows.    … Expand

    I find this expansion pretty disappointing to be honest. In comparison to other mmo full expansions it's extremely lacking in content, it feels about on pace to the Wrothgar DLC maybe a small bit larger in overall size but content wise not much more.

The world does feel like original Morrowind and the nostalgia is real - however I was disappointed in the somewhat lifeless and closed off Balmora and Vivec the same way. Many buildings in Balmora are closed up and only 1 of the cantons in Vivec is fully explorable like TES III. I'm happy to say some old tunes are in the OST for the expansion, redone, but that's nice to hear. Overall it's a nice romp with nostalgia but pretty lackluster to me if I'm being objective about it.… Expand

    So I have only put about 40hrs into this game. I have really enjoyed the time I have played though. The quests aren't very imaginative, the graphics are so-so, but the lore, all the books, fully voiced characters. It is a treat to feel immersed in a game world.

    Good add-on, if you buy it for lets say $20, not worth much more than that. Good new areas to explore. Great new class but definitely not worth the original price of $40,-

    I tried, really tried to like The Elder Scrolls as a MMORPG, I gave it a fair number of chances. Now I hoped the Morrowind will be a game-changer, but unfortunately it will not convince those who were unable to embrace TESO earlier. [09/2017, p.50]

    The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind is a great nostalgia trip for those that experienced the original main series game. Other than that, though, what it has to offer is outclassed by better, more popular games. However, if you do want to experience the oft-talked about Morrowind setting in a more modern game engine with more modern gameplay mechanics, and are able to look past its flaws, this might be a good time-waster for you.

    ESO: Morrowind is a fantastic addition to the base game, including exceptional writing in quests, a new class and PvP battlegrounds. Despite some minor issues, the game is worth your time.
