Description
Morrowind nostalgia!I loved that game so much. I feel than no other TES title managed to convey such a unique atmosphere.

The music starts playing in your head as soon as you look at it. 
Still my favorite Elder Scrolls game.

This is spooky and atmospheric Eleni, well done. Haven't played the game myself.

Thank you! It's a wonderful game. A lot of inspiration for my art has come from a select few games I've played since my teens, and Morrowind is definitely among the top 5.

Morrowind! Oh my goodness I would spend hours on that game and wonder where the time went. I would look out the window and go, why is it dark out? I just sat down to play! Love the red sand you've got going. Very nice.

It still amazes me the amount of lore and detail Bethesda puts into the Elder Scrolls games. I actually did the beta test for Elder Scrolls Online, but ultimately I didn't think it was worth the cost of 15 dollars a month and then having to pay for the game as well. It is a very well put together game, but I've been spoiled with free to play MMOs like Rift.
Have you ever played some of the later games like Oblivion and Skyrim? Oblivion was good, but you could definitely skip it. Skyrim on the other hand is a masterpiece.

I played both Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion was fine. I really liked its spellcasting system - you could exploit it to stack effects that would result in devastating spells.
Skyrim had also great atmosphere... almost, though not quite, on par with Morrowind. But I hated its interface. 
I'm curious about ESO, but I don't play MMORPGs. They're such a huge time sink!

I honestly hadn't thought about that, but I totally agree with you. I've played Skyrim on both and I'm always scrambling around in the menus when I play on PC.. I never have that issue when I play on console.
ESO is very fun, lots of exploration (which is typical with Elder Scrolls). I love that they have the choice of all the races there, and they span the whole world as far as continents. My frustration is a lack of endgame. Buying the game, then having to pay 15 dollars a month, and then finally there's a cash shop where there's more tempting items waiting for me to buy just irritates me. Why have all three of these models put together? I think they'll find their player base unsatisfied with what feels like money grabbing techniques. This is unfortunate because the game was obviously very well put together.
Beautiful graphics, tons of lore, easy to run on the computer, and a very nice interface. Just wish they weren't counting on the fact that the game would be /so good/ that we'd all just dump our money into it, because us gamers are a flightly lot. That being said, while I'm not going to be playing, I hope that it does well overall. They deserve to have a loyal base that enjoys it and respects the work that was done.
/end soapbox
lol Sorry...

It does look very good. I just hope that doesn't mean Bethesda will divert all their energies into maintaining it and never bring out another TES game!

Looks really cool! Very nice atmosphere, and the composition pulls me right in

Thanks! You're quite right, there could be a Dunmer peering in the storm, eyes shielded. Maybe with a cliff racer looming over him, about to catch him unawares.
