Rest of the Morrowind

Post » Fri Jul 09, 2010 12:30 pm

I was wondering, we never got to see whole Morrowind, witch is a real shame, but making an entire new TES sequel about it would make it look just like 'TES3, part two'.
So, wouldn't it be cool if we got to see rest of the Morrowind as part of the Skyrim expansion(s)?
That way TES series would have completed a tour over northern provinces and would left them only with southern.
What do you think about this?

Because a deserted ash land would bring in tourists like Disneyworld on a cold December weekend?
Morrowind has been done, it's over. Much as I enjoyed it, I'd much rather go forward.

The rest of Morrowind doesn't sound that interesting when you consider it's probaby largely ash and otherwise likely a mixture of Vvardenfell, Skyrim, Black Marsh and Cyrodiil environment styles. The Argonian settlements would be cool, but that's about it. Also far too big for an expansion, given the number of cities.

Vvardenfell is the only ashy part of Morrowind. That fact is basically covered in dialogue in tribunal. I imagine the rest would likely be more like Black Marsh, Mournold had a lot of "swamp bird" sounds and such. I don't think it'd really work, though. Probably too late to suggest this sort of thing anyway.

Vvardenfell is all ash, mainland Morrowind is still intact, for the most part.

To the OP: You are aware that Vvardenfell was destroyed when the Ministry of Truth smashed into Vivec city, and consequently, Red Mountain exploded? Resulting in mainland Morrowind becoming one great dreary grey ashpile? Lore has been written so that we have no choice to move forward, the Dunmer are refugees, their culture forever altered if not destroyed?

Yeah, that's why all the Dunmer fled to Solsthiem, the lush fields of Morrowind were too damn tempting.

There is a mod team remaking the rest of Morrowind, there is all ready like 2,000 npcs and 100 quest and a lot of land area covered, so you can see by get MW and using the mod, of course its not done yet and won't be for a while I imagen.

:P If Eyjafjallaj?kull (Or well just the mountain "Eyjafjall") could spew ash all over Europe then I think a mountain like Red Mountain would be able to scatter ash all over the mainland of Morrowind considering how the mountain literally exploded XD

That was before Red mountain exploded. We even have volcanic tundra in Skyrim.

That and the Argonians invading and taking over the mainland were the contributing factors in their relocation.

I'm playing through it right now. My character is wandering around Port Telvannis, going through the House Telvanni quests.

@OP: The mod is called http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=main, and the landmass is pretty impressive. The first two sections have been released, but only the first one includes quests. The second one does have cities, Dwemer ruins (including Kemel Ze), Daedric ruins, dungeons and tombs to explore, all complete. Fun to explore, and quite well done.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1158775-tamriel-rebuilt-antediluvian-secrets-6/ thread has more information, and some screenshots.

I understand as unlikely as it may be that survivors on VVARDENFEL left to solstheim, but why would anyone on the mainland go there? Cyrodiil is West, just go that way, not to some haphazard island right next to Ground Zero, if Red mountains eruption was so great as to devastate all of morrowind, going to Solstheim would make -no- sense.

as far as I see it, Port Televannis was floored by Tsunami's Vvardenfel is an ashpit, southern morrowind was overrun by Argonians (curse them) and western morrowind was abit habitable but its inhabitants left. if Bao Duur's impact was so great and violent in addition to the eruption to the extent that the entire province is ash, then mentioning that the Dunmer when to some icicle not far from Vvardenfel is a silly move.

anyway if they were to show morrowind they'd need to include parts of Cyrodiil, of which becomes a snowball effect really, since northern Tamriel is ripe with Mountains I wouldnt mind some Dragontail mountain expansion with details of the Orcs. the mountains still serve as a natural barrier and expand on the already playable area of Skyrim the game.

Even more so which would make more sense are Deadric Realms.

this.
if they are going to re do something i would much rather them do hammerfell.
i'd also like to see summerset isles or valenwood as an expansion. preferably summerset isles because i have no desire for them to make a full game in the summerset isles because the altmer svck.

200 years later and nothing's recovered yet? I'd say it couldn't STILL be ash... 200 years later.. probably more than that since Oblivion takes place after Morrowind. But according to what some npcs say in Oblivion, (at the time) the Nords of Skyrim are laying seige to "something" in Morrowind. Can't remember right now.

I could be completely wrong, as it has been about six months or so since I read the book, but IIRC The Infenal City was set some 200 years after the Oblivion crisis, and yet Morrowind is described as being a wasteland of rock and ash.

40 years after Oblivion, 160 years before Skyrim.

Only Vvardenfell is an ashland, and http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/ is doing the rest of Morrowind as an epic mod, it isnt really worth an entire game, maybe an expansion pack, but Morrowind is now more or less [censored] according to the lore isn't it? (havn;t read the Infernal City in it's entirety)

THe Infernal city is 40 years after the Oblivion Crisis. And seriously folks, Do not underestimate the destructive forces of the Red Year. Red Mountain is a volcano so powerful it caused the Sun's death event after an eruption in the 1st era. Surely the ministry of truth falling upon the land with the force of an large Asteroid hurtling towards nirn, coupled with the eruption of Red Mountain, is enough to turn Morrowind into "shatterlands."

Also, part of the reason the Dunmer can't reoccupy Morrowind is because the argonians didn't exactly leave after their invasion.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the rest of the Morrowind, not Vvardenfell.
Still, even if whole Morrowind was screwed up, I think that there are still some parts with life and that that actually could make it a good expansion material since they wouldn't need to work on the landscape much and could work only on parts that were preserved and rest would just be ash/dust/ruins.

There is a mod team remaking the rest of Morrowind, there is all ready like 2,000 npcs and 100 quest and a lot of land area covered, so you can see by get MW and using the mod, of course its not done yet and won't be for a while I imagen.


I would prefer something more official since I don't play mods that much for many reasons, but am not that willing to go trough them all.
Still, I might take a peek. :spotted owl:

this.
if they are going to re do something i would much rather them do hammerfell.
i'd also like to see summerset isles or valenwood as an expansion. preferably summerset isles because i have no desire for them to make a full game in the summerset isles because the altmer svck.


Erm, wut? :spotted owl:
Those provinces deserve a full game.
Still, wasn't Hammerfell in Daggerfall already?

I say combine it with TES 6: Black Marsh.


Yap, this could actually work too.
Also, Black Marsh is the province I want to see the most. :D
Hope TES6 is about it.
