History YMMV / TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind

* BrokenBase: ''Morrowind'' is the most divisive game in the franchise. Many ''Morrowind'' fans did not like [[TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]] or [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]] and vice-versa.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:Almalexia]]

* UncannyValley: In audio form. In various Sixth House enclaves, shrines, and lairs there's a set of bells that they player can ring. There's something wrong and unsettling about the noise they produce, and none of the notes sound good together.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Nothing less than the ''title music.'' For a game as epically large as ''Morrowind'' is, the music is suitably awesome. Considering [[JeremySoule who wrote it]], it's not surprising that it turns the awesome of the game [[UpToEleven way, way up.]] Though credit where credit is due: the ''melody'' was done by Eric Heberling for ''Daggerfall'', as noted in the RecurringRiff entry on the main page.

** YOU N'WAH! FILTHY S'WIT!

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Anything related to the Sixth House isn't very pleasant...

** Argonians and Khajiits walk like they broke their ankles. Everyone else walks like they have a stick up their ass. Not to mention...their jaws flap in a really erally weird way when they talk...

* ItWasHisSled: Is there ''anyone'' who doesn't know that the player is the reincarnation of Nerevar these days?

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Nothing less than the ''title music.'' For a game as epically large as ''Morrowind'' is, the music is suitably awesome. Considering [[JeremySoule who wrote it]], it's not surprising that it turns the awesome of the game [[UpToEleven way, way up.]]

* YourMileageMayVary: Some consider it to be one of the best video games ever, while some find it to be extremely boring. Neither party will deny that the gameplay and plot move along at a snail's pace.

* BrokenBase - ''Morrowind'' is the most divisive game in the franchise. Many ''Morrowind'' fans did not like [[TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]] or [[TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]] and vice-versa.
* CompleteMonster - [[spoiler:Almalexia]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome - Nothing less than the ''title music.'' For a game as epically large as ''Morrowind'' is, the music is suitably awesome. Considering who wrote it, it's not surprising that it turns the awesome of the game [[UpToEleven way, way up.]]
* DracoInLeatherPants - Almalexia.
* EnsembleDarkhorse - Jiub. His badass appearance, the fact that he is the first character players encounter, the fact that he is a fellow prison-ship prisoner along with the player, and his friendliness all make him very popular with fans, despite only having a few lines before being [[PutOnABus put on a boat.]] There are a few [[GameMod mods]] that bring him back and add quests centered around him.

* GameBreaker - Players can brew potions. These potions are more effective depending on how high the player's Intelligence stat is. However it is possible to brew Intelligence-enhancing potions with dirt-common ingredients. The Intelligence buff you get from that can then be used to brew even more powerful Intelligence potions, which can be used to brew yet '''more''' powerful Intelligence-enhancing potions. This can go on as long as you have enough ingredients (and as noted, the ingredients are very common.) When your Intelligence stat has reached the desired level of godliness, go ahead and brew whatever over-powered mega-potions you want--from Restore Health 9999 Points on Self for 9999999 seconds to 100% Sanctuary on self for 999999 seconds to Immunity to Magicka/Frost/Fire/Shock/Poison/Normal Weapons on Self for 99999 seconds. Creating a potion of Fortify Agility will mean enemies will always miss and you will always hit, although you can still be hit by magic.

* GoddamnedBats - Cliff racers, perhaps the most annoying foes in video game history. They make an irritating sound, do little damage, make you flinch when they hit you, drop crappy loot, and ''come in flocks of three to ten.'' And once they see you, they won't stop following you unless [[ArtificialStupidity they get stuck in a tree.]] They haven't figured out doorknobs, but if you go in a door with some following you, they'll be waiting for you when you come back out. And since they fly, they can swoop down to annoy you from any angle. And their [[HitboxDissonance hit detection]] leaves a lot to be desired.
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel - Anything related to the Sixth House isn't very pleasant...

* MagnificentBastard - Azura and Hlaalu Helseth
* MemeticMutation - Game of the Year, All Years.
* MostAnnoyingSound - The guards at Vivec are watching you, [[YouRebelScum scum]], and will remind you of the fact whenever you're within hearing distance.

* RootingForTheEmpire - Some fans see Dagoth Ur as a misunderstood good guy who just wants to free his people from the exploitative foreign Empire. It helps that a huge chunk of his {{backstory}} is about how [[spoiler:he was betrayed by his supposedly-good best friend]].

* SpecialEffectsFailure- On some ATI video cards, the sun is a [[OhCrap black hole]].

* ThatOneBoss - Gaenor. He reflects almost all damage from magic spells and mundane weapons due to having an insanely high leveled Luck. And no, there is not a puzzle to get around it. You just have to have a hell of a lot of HitPoints while you pummel this heavily-armored highly-agile guy until he falls over and dies. He starts as an NPC, but if you speak to him for any reason, he'll eventually come back in armor. Fortunately, he's still easy to avoid. Like most of the annoying parts of Morrowind, he appears in Tribunal.

* TheScrappy - Fargoth. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Best not to say any more.]]

* YourMileageMayVary - Some consider it to be one of the best video games ever, while some find it to be extremely boring. Neither party will deny that the gameplay and plot move along at a snail's pace.

* BrokenBase - ''Morrowind'' is the most divisive game in the franchise. Many ''Morrowind'' fans did not like [[TheElderScrollsFour Oblivion]] or [[TheElderScrollsTwoDaggerfall Daggerfall]] and vice-versa.

* [=~It's Popular, Now It Sucks~=]: Prior to Oblivion coming out, it was Morrowind that was considered to be "the symbol of all the bad trends in the industry". And mostly for the alleged reason of "dumbing down" for console players. Ironically since then, it is now considered the last good Elder Scrolls game by the same crowd.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Almalexia.
