New Morrowind mod adds a DLC-sized portion of Oblivion with over 160 quests

The Elder Scrolls 6 is likely years away at this point, and the wait for Bethesda's next fantasy RPG isn't getting any easier. We're fortunate that the modding community behind the Elder Scrolls games - Skyrim especially - is so strong, then. Multiple times a year we're graced with mods that range from small, mechanical changes to colossal, DLC-sized experiences. I'm pleased to tell you that today's new creation is the latter, as it adds a frankly absurd amount of material to Morrowind.

YouTuber hero-scientist reveals the hidden lie at Morrowind's heart: Its rivers aren't rivers at all

I have, in my career at this illustrious publication, covered my love for Morrowind exhaustively and exhaustingly. It's simply the best one. The best game in Bethesda's catalogue and, perhaps, the best videogame. Ever...

'Very few' people would play a Morrowind-style RPG with 'no compass, no map' and a reliance on quest text, says ESO director, 'which is kind of sad'

Back in my day, we didn't have these fancy-schmancy newfangled quest markers and compass points—we had to download add-ons if we wanted the minimap to tell us where our ten boars were, and then walk up the hill, both ways!..

Starfield modding project to create a whole Elder Scrolls-themed planet "has been canceled", but the poster behind it says it wasn't just trolling

Just days after a lengthy Reddit post outlining plans for it garnered a fair amount of attention, a very ambitious Starfield modding project that aimed to create an entire Elder Scrolls-themed planet featuring recreations of the worldspaces from Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind "has been cancelled". Though, the poster behind it denies that it was, as many commenters had assumed, never properly in the works to begin with.

Dubbed "Project Tamriel", that initial post about the initative on June 28 by Reddit user New-Star-340 claimed that it was "an ambitious and groundbreaking modding endeavor that aims to bring the entirety of Tamriel from The Elder Scrolls series into the expansive universe of Starfield". They specified that this would be accomplished by populating a single planet with "iconic items, detailed maps, and beloved quests" from Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind. Naturally, given how lofty a goal this is and the titanic effort it'd surely take, the post was met by a mixture of excitement and cynicism.

VG247 has since reached out to New-Star-340 in an effort to learn more about Project Tamriel, with the poster responding that "the project has been canceled", with this being cited as the reason behind the absence of links to a website or Discord server for it that initial post, despite one section of that featuring a bracketed space for one.

If there's one quest that sums up how Morrowind approaches storytelling and worldbuilding all wrapped up into one package, it's Larrius Varro Tells a Little Story. Unlike some other entries in the Elder Scrolls series, the third game aims for a murky and nuanced take on life in this fantasy world. There's nothing that better represents this than the tale dripped into your ear by one Imperial Legion Champion.
