I'm so ashamed that I have never played Morrowind..

[pisskop]

If you hever have 150 or so hours you could give it 1 good playthrough...   And the mods only make it sweeter; once you know what the original is like, of course.

To be honest, I felt like Morrowind was rather complete even without mods.

I use to play Morrowind like you once, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

There was some complaining about unarmored not being an option anymore. Mayby we could find out exactly what made it not an option anymore and mod it to MAKE it an option...?

Double post for nice trailer: here's the trailer for Dragonborn!

The trailer implies that the first dragonborn is the antagonist of the same-named DLC. Is there any record of who that is in TES lore? Surely Tiber septim is not the first one? I can't find any references (after a casual romp through the UESP) to any other dragonborn except Tiber Septim and the Skyrim player. Presumably it's not Tiber Septim we're fighting, seeing as he's a god these days.

The trailer says this Dragonborn was a dragon-priest that betrayed the dragons. Aside from that, there is no other info on him. I did notice, however, that his helm looks like the head of an ascended sleeper, and apparently one of those appears briefly in the trailer as well.

A good thing about the elder scrolls is they still keep characters in the lore interesting. Vivec, Tiber septim, the knights of the nine, Olaf...all are revered as heroes and all seen as villains. It's just a matter of who you ask.

They are no obsidian when it comes to moral ambiguity, but they have their moments.

Except Molag Bal, that always appears as a bad guy (even if not the main one).

Except to the brutal.  They still honor him with short lives.

It was rather weak in Morrowind.  It worked if unarmored, but not nearly as well as one would think.  It also added armor bonus instead of chance to dodge or something.  I liked it, it was a passive skill as a mage, but just clearly periphial.

On the wiki it says Tiber Septim was a Dragonborn, it doesn't point out the first one though. The trailer points out that this is the first dragonborn. He resembled the Ebonheart guy in the E3 trailer for the MMORPG.

As for unarmoured, well it just didn't make sense. Being stabbed makes you more resistant to stabbings? There are very good mods for Morrowind that made it increase your dodging when not wearing armour, which makes a lot more sense, but since they removed dodging....

[Silfurdreki]

I didn't say that Tiber Septim was the first dragonborn, only that he was the first one referenced in the lore (I think, not certain). Now that I think about it, it'd be impossible for the antagonist to be Tiber Septim, seeing as he's a dragon priest, the last of whom died hundreds of years before Tiber Septim was born.

You're right! I'd completely forgotten about those guys. It seems like Dragonborn (the DLC) will indulge in the Morrowind setting a bit, which I am all for. I might have to get this one when it launches.

Another thing I noticed in the trailers that nobody here said yet: spears!

[miauw62]

Wasn't the first dragonborn mentioned in the tablets leading to High Hrontgar?
It's cannon, and you should be able to find a name there.

[guale]

Wasn't the first dragonborn Saint Alesia since it was her covenant with Akatosh that pretty much created the concept and started the tradition of dragonborn emperors?
