galerionmystic Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 As a very long time Morrowind player, and a fan of all things Elder Scrolls fan. Make that Super Fan, I own multiple copies of Morrowind and Oblivion, on the Xbox Xbox 360 and PC. I am active in the mod community for both Morrowind and Oblivion. No joke I absolutely love this series. *****Spoiler Alert****** So you can imagine my shock and deep sadness that in keeping with my Elder Scrolls lust I purchased and read the new Official Elder Scrolls novel "The Infernal City" . In the narrative of the novel it is revealed that the Ministry of Truth, the moon from the plane of oblivion is no longer being held above Vivec City and falls into the land. The resulting catastrophic impact essentially obliterates not just Vivec City but the entire island of Vvardenfall and the tidal wave wipes out most of Morrowind itself. The immense implications of this apparently canonical and official development, is rivaled only by the silence from developers and fans of the Elder Scrolls series. I have searched for blog posts on the official forums and on external sites for any commentary or outrage at essentially the removal of Morrowind from the world of Elder Scrolls lore and Mundus. I have my theories as to why such a decision might have been made, regardless of the cause my sense of loss for the rich and vibrant world of Morrowind and its impact on future Elder Scrolls titles is massive. I post this in the hope that it will begin a discussion on the implications of this again seemingly Official development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzirAphale001 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 As far as I'm aware it's set 200 years in the future, and the next Elder Scrolls is about 50 years in the future, so it hasn't happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 In a fantasy game set in an imaginary world, everything is subject to change. Even the end of the world may be postponed for another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happytreefri3nds Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I absolutely hated this - Bethesda has been ruining my favorite race! Not only this, but in Oblivion, they sound like children on happy pills }:(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithisAssassin Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I wasn't happy either when i read that for the first time, but the tribunal's power was weakening during Morrowind and into Oblivion. So it was just a matter of time before it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomeaninglessword Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This makes me pretty angry. If it had happened in a game it would've been fine, but there's just something about it being in a book which just makes it feel worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
