Walkthrough for: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Game: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind	Format: Xbox	Ratings Not so good
Posted by: Hannard
The Elder Scrolls: Two Steps Forward One Step Back - moving from Oblivion to Morrowind. If you enjoyed playing The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion you might be tempted, as I was, to visit or revisit the previous game in the series, Morrowind. It's available for the PC and X-Box as both regular and 'game of the year' editions. The latter is the version to go for as it contains far few bugs than the first version, and also sports the Tribuneral and Bloodmoon expansion packs. However, there are a lot of significant differences between Morrowind and Oblivion, other than just the storyline. While Oblivion is in my opinion a more enjoyable game, Morrowind is a much more complex offering that's more likely to please hardcore RPG fans? So if you've finished with Oblivion and you're planning on playing Morrowind, you would do well to read this mini-guide, which details some of the differences you should be aware of. ENEMIES: You'll run into a wide range of monsters in Morrowind, some which attack with their clars, others which hurl spells at you, and some who can do both these things - just like in Oblivion, in fact. But in Oblivion, as your character becomes more powerful and levels up, the monsters do to. Which means that monsters should always be challenging, but defeatable. Whether this is a good thing or not is open to debate, but there's no such system in Morrowind. Which means that you may well encounter enemies who can annihilate you in two seconds flat. So if you wander into a dungeon and find yourself getting your backside kicked, it's a good idea to get the hell out and try again when your character is a higher level. Certainly, you shouldn't tackle the Bloodmoon or Tribuneral expansion pack areas till you're at least level ten. On the plus side, unlike Oblivion, Morrowind monsters and enemies can't follow you out of buildings or caverns so just leaving a dungeon will give you the chance to rest. WEAPONS: Morrowind's weapons skill system is much more complex than Oblivion's. Instead of having just a few weapon skills such as blunt and blade, Morrowind has short blade skills, long blade skills and more. Which means that you can't just specialize in using a pointy metal thing. You have to specialize in either using a dagger, sword, or two-handed sword, and being good at using a dagger doesn't mean you'll be any good with a sword. So make sure all the weapons you're carrying are appropriate for your specialisation, otherwise you could end up left with a weapon that you're rubbish at using. VAMPIRES: Contracting vampirism in Morrowind gives you a bunch of stat bonuses, as in Oblivion. But whereas in Oblviion feeding makes the surface signs of vampirism go away, in Morrowind every knows you're a vampire. So not only does sunlight kill you, most people will refused to trade with you and guards will usually attack you on sight. There are a few vampire quests to complete, but none of them really go anywhere or give you any kind of big rewards, so vampirism is less useful than in Oblivion. CROSS COUNTRY: Unlike Oblivion, you can't fast travel between locations, nor can you buy a horse, which is a shame as the landscapes much much bigger than Oblivion's play area. If you're in a city, you can go to a Silt Strider platform and get transported to another city, but not to another location. And if you're a vampire, the Silt Strider owners won't even speak to you. On the plus side, you can buy spells to let you levitate and you can float over towards your destination. Though if you're thinking of picking up and using the scrolls you find of the wizard that falls from the sky near the beginning of the game, don't. There's a pretty good reason that he landed on his head - he's a rubbish wizard, and you should leave his stuff well alone. FACTIONS AND QUESTS: Morrowind has a far greater number of factions and quests than Oblivion does, although whereas in Oblivion you can join all the factions, you'll find that some of the factions in Morrowind won't let you join if you're already members of others. And while Morrowind does have more quests, the ones in Oblivion tend to be more interesting. BUGS: While Oblivion does have the odd bug, Morrowind has quite a lot. While it's not so heavily bugged as to be unplayable, unlike its predecessor Daggerfall, even the Game of the Year edition has several quests that are sometimes break. The Spriggan quest in the Bloodmoon expansion pack, for example, is often uncompletable because the creatures you're supposed to kill don't all turn up. So remember to save often and you should be able to backstep. FINALLY: As an RPG, Morrowind will take much longer to complete than Oblivion and there's much more to do. However, it's not as much fun as Oblivion, with its roving non-player characters and well written quests. It's worth trying both, especially now you can pick up Morrowind and the expansion packs for about a tenner. Just don't complain when you're sacked from your job for taking a six week long sickie to finish them both.
