Morrowind GOTY - Any special features?

Post by Tamerlane »

I've recently seen the mass distribution of this new game packaged as a "Game Of The Year' edition. This supposedly includes the expansion packs but apart from that I'm clueless to what else it may feature.

I've never played the game before so would it better to simply buy a cheap version of the original or get the new packaged version?

GOTY contains both expansion packs and a guidebook AFAIK.

If you have the expansions, the journal becomes *much* easier to use, and you can annotate your map.

Also, most of the really good player made plug-ins, require both expansions. The plug-ins add many additional hours of play: large and small quests, companions, new textures, houses for the PC, new wildlife etc. They can even make the game more challenging.There are thousands available. :cool:

Check out the mod sticky at the top of the page for more info.

Oh, and the expansions themselves add a lot of really great content as well. :D I especially like the quests and graphics in Bloodmoon. Tribunal is fun too.

All in all, the GOTY Edition is a really awesome deal!

Good point!


Er... go for the PC version if you can.
*plug-ins (see my above post)
*you can use the console if you mess up
*from what I've heard, better graphics

It doesn't have better graphics per se, but you can set higher resolutions and anti-aliasing/antistrophic filtering on the PC.
