In morrowind the dwarves are long gone and are believed to have perhaps “receded behind math”, this npc is I believe the only dwarf you can meet in morrowind that is alive though there are dwarven ruins and automatons across morrowind.

Oh! I think I’ve heard of it before. I’ll look it up. For anybody who has played it: is it fun?

Morrowind remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game. It’s a bit more hardcore RPG than Skyrim for sure, and that may turn some folks off. And it’s definitely an older game with most of the dialog written. But it is an EXCEPTIONAL game. The world is beautiful and varied and exploration still feels more rewarding than Oblivion or Skyrim, the amount of lore to explore is HUGE, the specificity when building and leveling your character out exactly how you want is expansive, and the game doesn’t hold your hand - you can kill people who are vital to the main story if you want to, it just lets you doom the world if you really want to.
Nowadays, I’d strongly recommend running it with the excellent OpenMW engine, it’s rock solid and performs better than the original game, hell there’s even a working multiplayer fork of it!

…and it still leaves a back route to complete the main quest. You just have to murder the living god who is a mantling of Mephala to start the alternate route.
…and then you come up for air after reading the 36 Sermons of Vivec, realizing that very basic steganographic techniques were used to conceal at least a couple of hidden messages withing them and the start branching out from there into trying to understand the concepts of CHIM and the Towers and Amaranth and so on trying to wrap your head around the metaphysics of the setting.

It’s very old at this point.
It’s the predecessor to Skyrim.

Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.
Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.
