Line 2:
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: At the beginning of the (short but existent) [[Forced Tutorial]], a guard approaches and tells you, "This is where you get off. Come with me."
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: Nothing less than the ''title music.'' For a game as epically large as ''Morrowind'' is, the music is suitably awesome. Considering [[Jeremy Soule|who wrote it]], it's not surprising that it turns the awesome of the game [[Up to Eleven|way, way up.]] Though credit where credit is due: the ''melody'' was done by Eric Heberling for ''Daggerfall'', as noted in the [[Recurring Riff]] entry on the main page.
* [[Broken Base]]: ''Morrowind'' is the most divisive game in the franchise. Many ''Morrowind'' fans did not like [[The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion|Oblivion]] or [[The Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|Almalexia}}
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Almalexia.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Jiub. His badass appearance, the fact that he is the first character players encounter, the fact that he is a fellow prison-ship prisoner along with the player, and his friendliness all make him very popular with fans, despite only having a few lines before being [[Put
** In the next game, ''Oblivion'', there is a mention of him having become a saint after ridding Vvardenfell of all [[Goddamned Bats|Cliff Racers]]. {{spoiler|And then being [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Game Breaker]]: Players can brew potions. These potions are more effective depending on how high the player's Intelligence stat is. However it is possible to brew Intelligence-enhancing potions with dirt-common ingredients. The Intelligence buff you get from that can then be used to brew even more powerful Intelligence potions, which can be used to brew yet '''more''' powerful Intelligence-enhancing potions. This can go on as long as you have enough ingredients (and as noted, the ingredients are very common.) When your Intelligence stat has reached the desired level of godliness, go ahead and brew whatever over-powered mega-potions you want--from Restore Health 9999 Points on Self for 9999999 seconds to 100% Sanctuary on self for 999999 seconds to Immunity to Magicka/Frost/Fire/Shock/Poison/Normal Weapons on Self for 99999 seconds. Creating a potion of Fortify Agility will mean enemies will always miss and you will always hit, although you can still be hit by magic.
** 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''.
Line 18:
** When you're escorting the wisewoman..."hey, wait for me. Hey, wait for me. Hey, wait for me. Hey, wait for me. Hey, wait for me. Hey, wait for me! hey, wait for me!" This easily puts her on the same level as the guards shouting "HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT!" in Daggerfall....
* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: For most of the current ''Elder Scrolls'' fanbase, this was their first game in the series, and as such, it tends to be held up as the gold standard of the entire franchise. Roughly more than half of the criticisms leveled at ''Oblivion'' and ''Skyrim'' boil down to "it's not like ''Morrowind''."
* [[Rooting for
** {{spoiler|Mind you, this was ''after'' Dagoth decided he wanted to use the [[Artifact of Doom|artifacts of doom]] he and Nerevar initially set out to the destroy for personal power.}}
** [[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.
