Long-time fans of The Elder Scrolls universe Morrowind is usually the strongest and largest source of nostalgia. The point is that in which the TES series was at the height of orientation towards hard core RPG experience before Oblivion and Skyrim simplify the masses. No wonder that we often see custom modifications that seek to restore a touch of Morrowind, if not modernize the entire game as it plans to project names Skywind.
On this map of nostalgia will be played ZeniMax Online, which is following the expansion of its MMORPG TES Online, chose the region of Morrowind. It is clear that once the expansion of TESO will not make a successor to Morrowind any fans eagerly look forward to, but in ZeniMax believe that the popularity of this 15 years old games not only in her hardcore RPG mechanics.
As we explained Mr. Matt Firor, Rich Lambert and Brian Wheeler during a gathering at a presentation in London, Morrowind is primarily a cult location with its distinctive architecture, exotic landscapes and unique culture. Indeed, it is difficult to replace Morrowind in any other region of Tamriel as soon as you see the huge mushrooms, wetlands and floating fireball above the city. Due to such details upcoming expansion for TESO looks like back home what is a very long wait.
„Huge mushrooms, wetlands and floating meteors – it’s hard to Morrowind replace any other region in Tamriel.“
ZeniMax is for the return prepare the ground the last two years. In this period of TESO’s made very accessible MMO title that is not bound traditions of the genre. For example, remove the limitations in the research world, so the player from the start could go in any region without its level limits in it. On this basis also lies the idea that the upcoming Morrowind serve as an introduction to the TESO for new players.
It sounds strange because it comes expansion, not totally new game. However, instead of ZeniMax expansion uses the term “new chapter”, explaining that Morrowind does not bring endgame content as most expansion to MMO games. Instead, this is a separate story in which the player can jump in whenever he wants. After all, if you do not have TESO, purchasing Morrowind you get the entire game (although not previously ejected paid DLC packs), and you’ll be met with a new tutorial that will introduce you to the game.
For those who already have TESO, Morrowind unlocks new part of the map with 30 hours of additional content, a new class, a new PvP mode, The Halls of Fabrication trial, two public dungeon, minor changes in the interface, new music and a bunch of references to the original adventure in morrowind.
„Morrowind expansion pack provides 30 hours of additional content, new class, additional PvP mode and a bunch of references to the original adventure.“
Although players in the TESO-in but could see a part of Morrowind, the extension unlocks the island Vvardenfell. Just like in the main story, the story is set 700 years before all Elder Scrolls games and we’ll see how the known location looked in the past. We will visit the course Vivec City, feel the cold welcome race Dunmera and with the help of Narya Virian try to find out why the breakup of Morrowind.
With the expansion comes the first new class after the game’s release. It is a Warden who is the archetype of druids and rangers. You could have met him in the attractive trailer for announcement of expansion, together with the powers which handled. Warden class has three pillars skills. The first is the manipulation of ice with which you can make a shield or ice buff. Another skill is the treatment and management of animal third assistant – the trailer is to bear, but we will have the opportunity to recruit and other animals. To play Warden class you will need to create a new character, because the existing characters will not be able respecijalizirati.
Another significant addition Morrowind will be giving is the Battlegrounds PvP mode, for whom and it is no accident that it was during the presentation mistakenly renamed the Battlefield. In fact, this mode is an attempt to TESO deliver content that could be played as a kind of shooter – with a short PvP accounts, without limitation about alliances. I would compare it with Overwatch, but ZeniMax team made a more precise comparison of describing Battlegrounds as a slow version of Quake.
„Battlegrounds PvP Mode is an attempt to short-team matches in TESO introduce something like FPS perforation in the style of Quake.“
It is a team-based 4v4v4 matches through three typical FPS mode – CTF, TDM and Domination (winning four points folder). The expansion will be played on three different maps, with the promise that it will later be followed by a few more. Maps are designed to PvP skirmishes are fast and without a lot of downtime. In essence, the game will take you only 5-10 seconds to get to the first rival. Except for the Alliance points will be shared at the end of the match, players will fight for glory on the leaderboards.
The expansion will cost $ 40 separately which is not a small price, but from ZeniMax point out that it does not pay for a half-game three years ago. The Elder Scrolls Online is now far more done MMO title, and the players recognized. According to the latest data, the game currently has about 8.5 million players and is particularly popular on consoles where the first choice in the MMO genre without necessarily paying monthly subscriptions.
With the arrival of Morrowind is scheduled for 06. 06. This year, TESO could offer a strong argument that it satisfy the thirst for fantasy. As it stands now, Bethesding next effort does not reach us so soon, but I TESO recent years arranged so that the closer to the main series, even at the cost of simplification of what a game is classified under the MMORPG genre.
