Still seems pretty solid. The background and UI could be more interesting, but the skeletons don't need improving still.

Maybe in a still shot, but I imagine they look worse in motion.

Fun fact, on release, the UI for Morrowind did not even have health bars for enemies, this was patched in later.

I think this is the most uninteresting part of Morrowind, it's a DLC that is basically "go to this island and kill a metric fuckton of skeletons".

I think these are more representative of the game. It's a bit dated, but insanely atmospheric and modders are still keeping it alive.

Back in the day we called them "expansion packs" instead of DLC because you went to the store and bought them on CD-ROM discs (or DVD-ROM if you had rich parents) because nobody's Internet was fast enough to download a whole photoshopped nude of Cindy Crawford in less than 20 seconds, let alone a whole game expansion.

It all started with that shitty horse armour

I laughed when they brought it out. They warned us and we shrugged them off. Its just fun. Its not going to get out of hand.

How wrong we were.

And then they sold us Skyrim. And then they sold us Skyrim. And then they sold us Fallout. And then they sold us Skyrim. And then

And then they tried to monetize modding and partially succeeded.

Funnily enough this particular island was available via download and later as part of the GOTY pack, so technically speaking it was downloadable content before it became common. It was also free though.
