From Eurogamer: "In the past few weeks, the problem of sexual harassment in the games industry has entered public conversation once again, provoking serious questions about the underlying culture enabling this sort of behaviour. While vital, the discussions involved in the Me Too movement can often be painful for those who have experienced sexual abuse or harassment by re-surfacing memories of past trauma. And now, someone in the modding community has identified this as a problem within games themselves - and has created a mod to help sexual abuse survivors enjoy Bethesda's 2002 fantasy RPG Morrowind."
Morrowind, the Bethesda RPG game and ancestor of Skyrim and Oblivion, gets new maps and 200 refreshed quests as an Elder Scrolls mod rebuilds Tamriel
From TheGamer: "One Elder Scrolls super-fan just put together an incredibly detailed map of Morrowind. Best of all, the artwork is free to download, includes editable text, and the creator is in the process of translating the work into other languages."
Easily the best in the series.
20 years old, and still there's a diehard fanbase behind it.
From Eurogamer: "If there's one example of video game flavour text that adds much more than flavour, it's the in-game books of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. I remember the first time I entered one of the libraries of Vvardenfell (17 years ago!) and was overwhelmed by the ancient tomes; not just the sheer amount of information, but more importantly their evocative strangeness. One work stood out to me even then: The 36 Lessons of Vivec, composed by the hermaphrodite warrior-poet Vivec (aka Vehk), one of Morrowind's living gods. They seemed like complete gibberish to me back then, and it didn't help that the Lessons, contained in 36 volumes and dispersed across Vvardenfell, are often encountered out of their proper order."
Really interesting read. I absolutely loved reading all the book in Morrowind, there's never been a game that quite matches the weirdness of Morrowind.
I was really blown away from Morrowinds books. I recall entering homes and checking their libraries to see if there were any good books for me to steal or that I hadn’t read yet. I also did that with Oblivion and Skyrim but I was already expecting to do that.
Though I never really looked too hard into the books like this though. There are plenty of religious references in a lot of the books mostly because it’s meant to resemble religious books in real life, so I appreciate the actual research!
I don't think that by censuring a game sexual jokes and innuendos will do anything. As if you could end sex on people's mind.
Didn't realise gamers were so sensitive nowadays, thankfully I'm old school so I can handle things sexual references, and historical events or figures without needing a safe space or counselling of any kind.
