From Bethesda Softworks:
Morrowind was the best-selling and most highly acclaimed RPG for Xbox in
2002, earning Game of the Year and Best RPG awards from numerous publications
and sites, including Official Xbox Magazine, Gamespot, Team Xbox, and Xbox
Evolved. Over a year after its initial release, Morrowind was ranked among the
Top 10 Best Selling Xbox games in May through August of this year - a feat only
matched by Halo (Source: The NPD Group / NPD Funworld / TRSTS).
An epic, open-ended single-player RPG, Morrowind allows you to create and
play any kind of character imaginable. You can choose to follow the main
storyline and find the source of the evil blight that plagues the land, or set
off on your own to explore strange locations and develop your character based on
their actions throughout the game. Featuring stunning 3D graphics, open-ended
gameplay, and an incredible level of detail and interactivity, Morrowind offers
a gameplay experience like no other.
In Tribunal, you journey to the capital city of Morrowind, called Mournhold,
to meet the other two god-kings of Morrowind, Almalexia and Sotha Sil. Your
journey will lead you to the Clockwork City of Sotha Sil and massive, epic-sized
dungeons, where strange and deadly creatures await you, including goblins, lich
lords, and the mysterious Fabricants.
Bloodmoon takes you to the frozen Island of Solstheim where you’ll experience
snow, blizzards, and new creatures, including frost trolls, ice minions, and
wolves…just to name a few. You’ll have a choice of stories to follow and have
the opportunity to defend the colony, take control over how the colony is built
up, and eliminate the werewolves. Or, you can decide to join the werewolves and
become one of them, opening up a whole new style of gameplay.
