Free Game Alert: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Available for Free Today Only

Raevenlord · Mar 25, 2019

Attention to all of you who enjoy your games to be free of charge (and don't we all?). Bethesda has announced that The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is available for free download, today only. Yes, the game is an old one, but a free game is certainly worth the admission price, whether you've already played it and have your trusty, physical CD edition laying around (it's good for a frisbee nowadays), or just want to get your hands on something Elder Scrolls that you've never touched before.

Like any Bethesda game, there are a number of mods that you can apply here to fix bugs (ah trusty old Bethesda), improve mechanics, game systems, gameplay, and graphics, so you can always dive in a little deeper if that is your wish. You'll have to sign-up for a Bethesda account, and enter the code TES25TH-MORROWIND for the price to become a big, fat, submissive zero.

Can't be any worse than Ubisoft's servers?

Well, it's hard to be worse than "not working", but at least they can keep each other company down in the dirt?

Any room for EA, and Activision?

INSTG8R · Mar 25, 2019

LOL! Thanks Bethesda!

Octavean · Mar 25, 2019

Invalid promo code,......

Easo · Mar 25, 2019

Can they do at least something right? Fine, it's free, I supposedly should not complain xD

erocker · Mar 25, 2019

Invalid code. Knowing Bethesda, it'll stay broken until the promo expires.

sam_86314 · Mar 25, 2019

Blah. Already own GOTY on Steam, I'd rather wait for a GOG sale than get it here.

Sure it can. Ubisoft is pretty good these days isn't it?

The irony here with Bethesda cannot be missed though. Need to debug free stuff.

Yup, that's my suggestion. Mentioned something similar in another thread and it applies here, I'd rather pay for the game on sale at GOG than get it for free through yet another launcher. Getting tired of all of the launchers. No Thank You Bethesda.

...PACMAN... · Mar 26, 2019

https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/tes25 Then click on the redeem now button and enter your code there. Worked for me.

ironwolf · Mar 26, 2019

Finally worked for me tonight. They really pooched it over this one. But they are extending the offer: "Update: We are extending our giveaway through the weekend. "

biffzinker · Mar 26, 2019

Still have the original release of Morrowind 3 on CD-ROM in my old games collection.

Super XP · Mar 26, 2019

No time to play this anyways.
I'll Pass,

Ravenas · Mar 26, 2019

Please stop trying to get customers pulled in to yet another PC distribution platform.

moproblems99 · Mar 26, 2019

Well, I guess everything needs to get released on Steam or not at all.

Sod that, GOG.com mate!

BorgOvermind · Mar 26, 2019

At this moment, the code claim is working, but last night their web-site was practically dead: partially working logins, URL not found errors, code not working and a few more typical errors.

@lexluthermiester +1 hands down for GoG. But other than that I'd rather use one game client instead of 5.

bug · Mar 26, 2019

Free my ass. Just like countless "free" offers before, it's just Bethesda begging you to sign up with them so they can claim there's users on their platform.

That reference behind the comment is not monopolization by Valve, but distribution exclusivity that the PC gaming market is currently undergoing.

Publishers should always make their games available everywhere in my opinion. Make your customers happy by allowing them to purchase on the media or distribution service they choose.
