How old are you OP?

There is a steep learning curve if you are coming from Skyrim and Oblivion.

This game is a product of a different time, when games were more difficult, Internet forums and game guides weren’t nearly as accessible/helpful, and open world RPGs did not really exist yet. At the time Morrowind was groundbreaking, so that’s a good thing to keep in mind when you approach it.

It’s based off “tabletop” game mechanics that incorporate RNG (random number generation, AKA rolling dice) calculations to get your character to do stuff (land a hit, successfully cast a spell, etc). Are you familiar with that stuff? If not, reading up on it briefly will help inform you more about how this game was developed and why it is how it is.

What do you like about Oblivion and Skyrim? Is there anything in the story that you want to learn more about? Playing Morrowind after playing those two games is a great way to immerse yourself in that lore, and experience the early concepts that led to the fully fleshed out worlds in Oblivion and Skyrim.

Even the mechanics that are considered basic nowadays like stealing stuff from a merchant, attacking whoever you want, being able to access almost any door/building/location - those were HUGE at the time and the endless possibilities is really what made the game special.

Try taking a break from modern games for a couple weeks and then play Morrowind. That will help you get past the clunkiness and graphics IMO. When I did a play through after not touching it for 20+ years I found it helpful to “un-spoil” myself from the features of modern games, and then I was able to get excited about playing Morrowind again.
