The world building in Morrowind is what makes it my favorite TES game, it’s so distinct to any other fantasy game. One of my favorite aspects is how Vvanderfell has its own versions of the mainland guilds AND the mainland guilds themselves competing with their Dunmer counterparts, there’s an Imperial cult presence but the Temple also exists… It’s a very insular world with a very distinct culture and everyone just fucking hates you for no reason. It’s great.
Even the main quest is kind of bonkers when you think about it, the end goal is basically overthrowing the government and installing a Dunmer ethno state… And the Emperor is fine with it lol.
