I enjoy Elder Scrolls Online and Morrowind is one of my favourite games ever. Can ESO's rendition of Vvardenfell live up to such a height? No, of course not but I didn't expect it to. ESO feels more like a theme park version of Tamriel which is certainly true with this Morrowind expansion but I still have a good time in it. I do enjoy seeing the region again in prettier graphics and seeing it in older state. I don't think they did a great job with presenting Vvardenfell 700 years before the event of The Elder Scrolls 3 such as with Seyda Neen looking the exact same when it really shouldn't exist at all at this point but it is nice to see Vivec City under construction or Ald'Ruhn being an Ashlander camp. As an ESO expansion, it offers a lot of the same stuff as the rest. Wolrd bosses to kill, delves to explore, collectibles to gather. The side quests are pretty strong and do a good job of giving the major settlements some character. The series of quests in Sadrith Mora do drag a bit but for the most part, they are all pretty good. The quests for Balmora are a stand out. The main quest is decent and guides you around the whole map quite well. Seeing Baar Dau drop in the sky was cool even if I can also admit it was pretty cheesy. I had a good time with this expansion and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Daedric War stroyline.
