A golden glow

I decided to go with redguard

but now I'm conflicted... do I play a redguard like I was originally going to, or an argonian?

After a few updates and patches, I think I'm going to restart my playthrough - I didn't get very far at all, and I realised I messed up some of my characters stats

I think it's a really cool piece of worldbuilding, that the empire's religion is called a "cult", in the same way that Daedra worshippers are part of a "daedric cult".

Especially in contrast to the primary Dunmer religion, which is referred to as "the temple" or "the tribunal temple".

now I get to have a conversation with my favourite Balmora resident: Hul.
She's an argonian pauper, and I've always felt a kinship to her.

Something I've been reminded of is that this game refers to the religion of the empire as "The Imperial Cult".
Unlike Oblivion and Skyrim, which just refer to it as the "Church" or as the "Eight divines/Nine divines", in the morrowind province it's a foreign religion that is less commonly followed.

Ah wonderful old balmora...

And with Arkngthand looming in the distance, inspiring adventure but also peril...

I love that you can see the mainland from Seyda Neen (assuming you have the view distance turned up)

It completely changes the feel of Seyda Neen - instead of a horrible swamp town on the edge of a vast ocean, it now feels like a horrible swamp town that's just part of something bigger.

It also makes your arrival there make sense - the ship is actually travelling to somewhere better nearby, they've just stopped at Seyda Neen quickly to dump you off...

(I hope Jiub is ok...)

I had forgotten that the prison ship at the beginning has actual bones and skulls in it... what the heck happened on this ship that allowed people to just turn into skeletons???

And why weren't they just thrown overboard on the journey???

(the original Morrowind game only includes a single island in the Morrowind region, this mod project aims to put all of the mainland into the game)

A new version of Tamriel Rebuilt has come out today!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!
