    I got ESO a few years back, after playing a bit of the beta and jumping back in to see what Elder Scrolls online's Morrowind expansion had to offer, I was delighted, i would think that it would've been less than 40$ for the upgrade, but the story was surprisingly good, not good enough to be a great single player elder scrolls game by itself, but it was the best mmo experience I've had so far.

    I'm pretty much in the exact same boat as Flghtboost, this is the best storytelling I've encountered in a MMO to date, think the price is a little high perhaps ($40 upgrade after buying the CE at launch and subbing to ESO+ again just this week), but it makes up for it in amazing atmosphere, questing and some truly funny characters to meet.

    What a wonderful game! If you are still stuck on what the Elder Scrolls Online was at launch, please reconsider! The questing is wonderful. The dungeons are designed beautifully and the upper level ones very challenging. The combat is SO good. It might feel a little slow at 1st when you only have a few abilities but once you unlock both skill bars and have a full set of skills to swapWhat a wonderful game!

The combat is SO good. It might feel a little slow at 1st when you only have a few abilities but once you unlock both skill bars and have a full set of skills to swap between, it is very fast paced. The battlegrounds pvp they added with this update is a ton of fun too. I played this game in beta and for a few months at launch and felt it just wasn't quite there. It's there now. If you want to explore Tamriel with a friend, now is a better time than ever to do so!… Expand

    Elder Scrolls Online has continuously improved since launch with every iteration of content. Vvardenfell delivers an amazing landscape, and some of the best story writing I have ever seen from an mmo. The warden class is a breath of fresh air, with a great variety of abilities.

From the ground up all of the architecture is entirely new assets, as well as a majority of the items within them. The alternate start supplies a compelling story, and leads to a giant nostalgia trip as you make your way to Seyda Neen. Overall the new story content is better than any of its predecessors, the landscape and new assets are detailed making it that much more enjoyable to be doing content within Vvardenfell, the new battlegrounds offer more variety to the pvp, and the new class will be welcomed by seasoned players.… Expand

    I hesitated joining an mmo several years after launch, because games can have a tough barrier to entry. I quickly learned that new people are joining all the time, and with the release of this new "chapter" - Morrowind - ESO anticipated this, to an extent. The beginning game content was fun, and it doesn't take terribly long to join the higher ranks and more difficult content, prompting meI hesitated joining an mmo several years after launch, because games can have a tough barrier to entry.

    I survived about 3 weeks playing for free, before I decided it was worth the upgrade to subscribe. The free to play was nice to be able to test the game (bought on sale) without making a heavy commitment, but the subscriber benefits are worth it for a player trying to grow.
    New content is being added faster than I care to finish it, which helps the most active player base stay engaged, though the typical complaints about server issues, especially in pvp, still abound.
    The lore is incredibly rich and engaging, and does not disappoint the elder scrolls line. If you enjoy the elder scrolls games, just remember, this isn't skyrim, and takes place in the 2nd era (skyrim is 4E), so don't expect it to be the same! Graphics work well on modern hardware, and it is playable at 4k.    … Expand

    I loved it for the quests and the Warden. The rest of the game could still use a few improvements but it's a great way to use some time.

    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.
