Whereas undeniably a basic first-person RPG, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind by no means fairly lived as much as its identify. Certain, you technically had been in Morrowind, however the recreation restricted you to the volcanic island of Vvardenfell, with the mainland incessantly spoken of, however teasingly simply out of attain.
Enter the Tamriel Rebuilt undertaking, a colossal (and incessantly lined) mega-mod a long time in improvement, aiming to increase the sport’s playable space to embody the whole lot of Morrowind, cities, quests, characters and all. This week, the dev staff rolled out its ninth main growth and largest replace but—Greedy Fortune—including an unlimited new space to discover and what could also be one of many greatest, densest fantasy cities in any RPG: The fruits of seven years of effort devoted to this area alone, which you’ll be able to learn extra about within the patch notes right here.
Watch On
The Greedy Fortune growth extends the map immediately south of Vvardenfell, all the best way to the far borders of Morrowind, though probably the most fascinating a part of this area is the sprawling metropolis of Narsis, seat of energy for the decadent Home Hlaalu. It is a dense hub of commerce and crime, with bustling docklands. Whether or not you resolve to cosy up with the powers that be, or embed your self within the Ja-Natta Syndicate’s felony underworld, there’s rather a lot to do, with the Rebuilt staff boasting 270 new quests on this area alone and 140 new dungeons.

Town is not simply sufficiently big to make climbing by means of it an intimidating prospect, it is also deep, with over 200 of the buildings having absolutely explorable interiors and a sprawling sewer community working by means of its underbelly. The scope of this growth can’t be overstated.
The Tamriel Rebuilt staff proudly declare that there are a staggering 2,500+ distinctive NPCs unfold throughout this new area, 1,100 of them within the metropolis of Narsis alone. For comparability, the whole lot of Vvardenfell within the authentic recreation contained solely 2,824 characters unfold throughout its considerably bigger land-mass.
Briefly, there’s a complete recreation’s price of recent Morrowind to discover right here, and this is only one of many areas added within the mod.

For a deeper dive, do not forget the Tamriel Rebuilt section of the unofficial Elder Scrolls wiki, however you ought to be superb simply exploring by your self.
You will get maintain of Tamriel Rebuilt over on its Morrowind Nexus web page, though I extremely suggest choosing up OpenMW as nicely, a contemporary supply port that—whereas not strictly required—is supported by Tamriel Rebuilt.

Plus, hold a watch open for an upcoming interview with the staff behind this absurd labor of affection.
