Morrowind is guilty of including interesting titbits that remain but that, a titbit. While exploring the Sixth House base, known as Sharapli, players can find the "Pool of Forgetfulness", which sounds as though it bears some significance. It does not. It quite literally serves no purpose in the game, despite having such an intriguing name.

It is hard to believe that something with a name so enticing would remain insignificant, even today when Morrowind itself released back in 2002. Had fans been told the Pool of Forgetfulness was cut content, perhaps it wouldn't be so irritating, but no, there is nothing that can offer any sort of resolution.

The possibilities were endless, the player could have wandered into the pool and blacked out, consequently triggering a quest to determine the origin of it, or what its true purpose was. Instead, they are left speculating on what may have been.
