Morrowind is just a plain bad game

Dagoth Ur probably wears a mask because his face looks like a corprus monster. He drew power from the Heart carelessly and with wild abandon, unlike the Tribunal.

it would apply to anyone with sufficient skill in illusion or alteration i think. i don't really remember, but i think jagar tharn did change shape, and did not just use some illusion to appear like the emperor.

I think there is subtle difference between changing your facial features and arbitrarily (as in not into a form of existing creature) changing your material form.

The point is, you could wield Moon-and-Star, the others couldn't.

Also, Dagoth Ur, Vivec and Almalexia, all contemporaries of Nerevar, all recognise you as the Nerevarine.

Moon-and-Star only wearable by Nerevar is a legend.

Vivec doesn't care whom your character really is, he just needs your help.

Almalexia was just sucking up to your character and planning to kill him/her.

Dagoth Ur actually asks whom your character really is, and you can answer however you please.

Apart from Shezarrines (lol Dragonborn), there is no reincarnation in TES lore.

And even if not, it bore Azura's blessing so for what we know it could be wearable even by a mudcrab if it helped Azura get her revenge on Almsivi.

I like how she collected the corpses of the 'failed incarnates'.

"Sure baby, you're the real one". I think i actually laughed, well played anonymous soulcrushed TES ghostwriter.


....

that is, if she didn't kill them herself.

Ghosts.

Nah, that would be counterproductive.

The Failed Incarnates weren't even outlanders. Apparently nobody told them to look for the Lost Prophecies

Lost prophecies were indeed lost, it is not like they could be bought on Amazon, There was rather complex quest to retrieve full version of them including stepping on toes of Ordinators.
It's not like Oblivion and Skyrim where you became ''Chosen One" right after begining... wait in Oblivion you are sidekick helping true Hero Martin Septim doing His fedex quests.

Dragonborn is not a reincarnation, it's just men/mer/beast born with the soul of a dragon. And there's no the Dragonborn but a Dragonborn, you can have more than one at the same time.

Neverarine is Dragon born too. IS cause he is ageless, immune to diseases and hard to kill by both conventional weapons and magic.

Regarding Moon-and-Star, if you sold it or reverse pick pocketed it to an NPC they would equip it. Although that's probably just an oversight by the devs.

Ghost at Old Hroldan names you 'Hjalti' specifically. Hjalti = Hjalti Early-Beard = Tiber Septim.

No, he's not. He is ageless and immune to diseases thanks to corpus and hard to kill beacuse he can pause the game to drink potions (CHIM).

Yep. Both the player and Tiber are the same because they are the aspects of Lorkhan. There's no reincarnation as you said but rather something like a reflection on a mirror.
You are not not reincarnation of Tiber (or Lorkhan) but just his aspect.

Of course, being dragonborn doesn't mean in any way that you are the aspect of Lorkhan. Being his aspect and having the soul of a dragon are two completely independent things.

I'm just going to throw this out---have you ever actually walked every street in the 2x5 miles that surround you? If you have you might realize every 20 meters is a new experience and store/personality (and potential quest!). If you haven't I'm going to assume you're a very pale person in an apartment/basement, refusing to exit the door. Thus has no idea of the potential vastness and uniqueness of even ten square miles.

Or maybe instead you think a "real" country should be beyond a mere 10 square miles. The MOTHER FUCKING POPE would like a word with you.

Screw all of you for bringing Oblivian and such into the discussion, but thanks all of you that brought porn into it. In particular Pipeweed-that's going to last me a long time. Yeah. Cosplay is a real 21st century boon.

That's the thing. As an adult you don't have all the time in the world (or, even when you do, you have better shit to do) to spend on a game and when in a 1 hour session of gaming you calculate that you have spent from 15 up to 40 minutes of "nothing" like walking, it sure feels really frustrating. I played Morrowind to death in the past but I would probably never replay that game again. The only other solo game I can think of that rivals Morrowind in the "This was a fucking waste of time" dept is X3: Reunion.
Morrowind had a sweet setting and I loved exploring it, reading the books and what the npc had to "say" (they acted more like wikipedia than dialogues..) but it's hardly entertaining as a game and you need a LOT of time to be able to enjoy it. Most people past their twenties *don't* have that kind of time.

Yeah, but that's because you are a young western degenerate. You can't take an entire "me" evening when you have kids and wife competing for your constant attention. A relative of mine has to sneak out of the bedroom after the missus is asleep so he can play some Silent Hunter in peace.

The old "I don't have time" excuse is usually an excuse for everything but time. Most people would never like to admit they have the time, and of course anyone can make it if they want to. When people say they are too busy it is usually a case of them being either horrible at time management (and unwilling to change) or so unfulfilled in life that anything which isn't in some way related to the 9-5 treadmill they're on is loaded with too much guilt for them to enjoy.

Of course, then the game has to prove for itself it is worth the time spent on it in terms of entertainment value and whatever else it is one looks for in a game, and there aren't too many games that can justify it well. Someone approaching Morrowind for the first time now would need to be really enamoured with its particular characteristics to be able to consider it good entertainment value because it does have a lot of problems. For games of its type though, there are very few on the same level.

What are the other games of that type? Thought Bethesda had pretty much a monopoly on that type of open world game, sure there are other open world games like Saints Row, Just Cause or Borderlands, but they are hardly the same type.
