Default Morrowind - As Told by Facebook Posts

January 25th, 2016, 18:19
Kotaku features an amusing segment on Morrowind, as told by Facebook posts. There's spoilers, but…since most everyone here has either played it or doesn't plan to…


Morrowind, the third Elder Scrolls RPG, has a rich and somewhat complicated story. Luckily, now we have a Facebook timeline to simplify it all. Humorously.

It was whipped up by redditor TheTitanova, using this Facebook wall generator, and posted to r/morrowind last week. Basically, it’s a cleverly written account of the backstory and the in-game events of Morrowind—it starts with the creation of the Tools of Kagrenac way, way before the player character’s time, and concludes with the events of the game’s ending (with some post-ending bits thrown in).


It’s filled with spoilers, of course, so if you haven’t played Morrowind, and want to, then be careful. You need to be a bit of a lore junkie to get a lot of the jokes anyway. To everyone else, enjoy:
More information.

OMG! That thing is just hilarious in a very teenage fashion. It covers the backstory for the game a lot more than the game itself too.

George Orwell chiming in over the "Ministry of Truth" argument. So random.

The "is now friends with Fargoth" brings back so many memories.

Brilliant.

It's so, so sad that neither sequels could match Morrowinds standard, or level of magic. Despite it's far inferior combat, it's still leaps and bounds in front of Oblivion and Skyrim in terms of immersion and absorbing world. Everything felt like it fit perfectly. When you discovered a secret room/item it felt special, not like there's millions scattered around.

That world was so alien and magical. Hope Bethesdas next outing is the best of all worlds.
