Dagoth Ur, the Chimer who dwelt deep beneath Red Mountain for more than an eon, was a being so powerful that he bordered on divinity. His history is long and complex, but the important points are that he gained control and used the power of an a"

The third part of Elder Scrolls-gameseries is much smaller and part two, seemingly, but the game area is much more action packed. While part II-Daggerfall still stands propably as one of largest RPG games due game area, most of it was emtpy space and random generated repetitive dungeons, repetitive towns and so on. Don't get me wrong either, Morrowind is still LARGE. Propably the best Elder Scrolls game overall, nice character creation and development and loads of different items and quests. St"
