Xbox Game Pass: 10 Best Bethesda Games
6. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Few games can claim to have fundamentally pushed their genres forward, but Morrowind can.
The main quest of Morrowind concerns the deity Dagoth Ur, who dwells inside the Red Mountain - a massive volcano in the centre of the map.
You find yourself drawn into his desire for power and conquest. However, Morrowind is one of the most open and player-empowering RPGs ever made, so if you to ignore that quest line altogether, go ahead, and even killing major NPCs is permitted.
You might wonder why, if it is so amazing, Morrowind is only number six on this list. The reason is fairly simple; anyone used to contemporary mechanics and other quality of life touches that have been almost subliminally introduced over the last two decades will immediately notice how alien and strange Morrowind feels. It takes getting used to.
Fittingly, however, this alien feel almost seems appropriate considering how strange Vvardenfell is supposed to be.
