Line 10:
** Also, the Corprus Disease. The effects of the disease boost your strength and endurance, but drains a host of other attributes. Both gains and losses from this are cumulative over time, meaning that if you go to sleep for a year, you'll have 0 in the drained attributes, but a strength and endurance in the hundreds. When you finish the relevant quest, ''only the drain is removed''.
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Cliff racers, perhaps the most annoying foes in video game history. They make an irritating sound, do little damage, make you flinch when they hit you, drop crappy loot, and ''come in flocks of three to ten.'' And once they see you, they won't stop following you unless [[Artificial Stupidity|they get stuck in a tree.]] They haven't figured out doorknobs, but if you go in a door with some following you, they'll be waiting for you when you come back out. And since they fly, they can swoop down to annoy you from any angle. And their [[Hitbox Dissonance|hit detection]] leaves a lot to be desired.
* [[ItsIt's Popular, Now It Sucks]]: Prior to Oblivion coming out, it was Morrowind that was considered to be "the symbol of all the bad trends in the industry". And mostly for the alleged reason of "dumbing down" for console players. Ironically since then, it is now considered the last good Elder Scrolls game by the same crowd.
* [[It Was His Sled]]: Is there ''anyone'' who doesn't know that {{spoiler|the player is the reincarnation of Nerevar}} these days?
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Azura and Hlaalu Helseth
Line 22:
** [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] has a big part in this. To some people, {{spoiler|the Tribunal murdered Nerevar, and in a later work Vivec sort-of confessed to the crime}}, while Dagoth Ur was actually just trying to help.
** Rooting for Almalexia is a whole another case, rarer but still happens.
* [[Sacred Cow]] / [[True Art Is Not Popular]]: Noting the [[ItsIt's Popular, Now It Sucks]] example above, nowadays Morrowind is considered as this.
* [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]]: ''Tribunal'' met poor critical response because it was largely a dungeon crawl in an open world exploration based game (though it does add some much needed scripting functions for mods). ''Bloodmoon'' instead ops to add a new island to explore.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: On some ATI video cards, the sun is a [[Oh Crap|black hole]].
Line 28:
** Everything dear old Uncle Crassis says, sweetie.
* [[That One Boss]]: Gaenor. He reflects almost all damage from magic spells and mundane weapons due to having an insanely high leveled Luck. And no, there is not a puzzle to get around it. You just have to have a hell of a lot of [[Hit Points]] while you pummel this heavily-armored highly-agile guy until he falls over and dies. He starts as an NPC, but if you speak to him for any reason, he'll eventually come back in armor. Fortunately, he's still easy to avoid. Like most of the annoying parts of Morrowind, he appears in Tribunal.
** The final boss of the Imperial Legion questline counts as well, mainly because he uses ''both'' an [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword]] and Infinity Plus One ''Armor''.
*** That you just delivered to him.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Fargoth. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|Best not to say any more.]]
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: In audio form. In various Sixth House enclaves, shrines, and lairs there's a set of bells that they player can ring. There's something wrong and unsettling about the noise they produce, and none of the notes sound good together.
** Argonians and Khajiits walk like they broke their ankles. Everyone else walks like they have a stick up their ass (a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEfZl5vw6EI pretty blazin'] stick, though). Not to mention...their jaws flap in a really erally weird way when they talk...
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Possible interpretation of {{spoiler|Dagoth Ur, If you believe that the Tribunal cast him away to do exactly what their friend and King had told them explicitly not to do and convincing him said King had betrayed him in the process.}}
