Morrowind is the third edition of Bethesda Softworks' role-playing game (RPG) series The Elder Scrolls. It takes place in and around the Morrowind region, especially on the island of Vvardenfell. 

Morrowind is an amazingly immersive game that draws you into Vvardenfel and makes you feel as though you are a part of its universe, despite being full of big, blank-faced weirdos with terrible hair and requiring you to strike at an enemy 20 times before you can manage a single hit.  

What's amazing about the Mod?

Morrowind Nexus has, finally, torn down that final barrier between Morrowind and added the perfect proximity of reality: with abot's new mod, the Nerevarine leaves behind trails as they walk. When the recognizable clop clop clop sound effect of a Morrowind character's footfall plays, they use the Morrowind Script Extender to detect it and spawn in the appropriate footprint texture. Additionally, Abot has a useful menu where you may choose who leaves footprints, how often they appear, and how far away they can be traced. 

Abot also offers a wide range of additional Morrowind bug and immersion solutions. After so many years, amazing things are still happening in the Morrowind modding community, with current efforts introducing AI-generated voice acting, Oblivion crossover bouts, and, of course, McDonald's. Not to mention the stupendously ambitious Tamriel Rebuilt, whose team is still working diligently to create a new Elder Scrolls game within Morrowind.

Story

Azura informs the sleeping Nerevarine in the script's opening scene that they have been transported from the Imperial City jail to Morrowind. Azura merely offers confidence; she doesn't explain why you were picked or even for what purpose specifically. There are runes scrolling in the background, and when Azura finishes her sentence, "Many rises, but one remains." The next voice you hear is that of Jiub, a worried Dunmer prisoner who awakens you from your sleep and requests your name. At this point, the game starts and character creation starts. Once liberated, the game world transforms into a highly interactive setting full of options for enjoyment and adventure. Although the main mission revolves around the player being the prophesied Nerevarine, the role-playing game is open-play in nature, so you can act however you choose and assume any identity you choose. You can assassinate targets in the shadows, join the Mages Guild and advance to the position of Arch-Mage, prowl the streets as a quick thief picking pockets and fencing stolen goods, or even experiment with "life" as a vampire or werewolf.
