Elden Ring is a marvel but its not same to me. Morrowind is not typical fantasy so the alien world of mushroom houses and silt striders takes it to the next level. Skyrim and Oblivion were less interesting to me as it was standard high fantasy setting.


I feel exactly the same. I had never played a game before that felt so free. I spent so much time just discovering the world, what you could do. The magic system that invited you to break the game mechanics - at a cost. I love how playful it was, with items like the boots of blinding speed.

I don't know if any game can quite capture what I loved about Morrowind, but you might also like Outward, or Kenshi, if you'd like a similar feeling of discovering and surviving in a strange world that wasn't designed around you.


Would highly recommend Kenshi, it is very different from Morrowind, very weird, and very janky, but completely unique in its setting and gameplay. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel, which is in development.


You capture what I failed to articulate. I feel exactly that way about Oblivion and Skyrim


Games just felt so much more intelligent back then. Morrowind really went off the deep end.
