I'm considering getting borrowing BUT I'm. I'm really bad at finding my way around in games and I've heard it doesn't have quest markers?

I get lost very easily even in games with maps etc and appreciate when there's instructions.

Do you think morrowind would be just too, idk, frustrating? I want to know The Lore(tm) and am a big dunmer fan but if the game will just give me a headache then maybe I'll settle for reading the lore

i'm gonna assume that autocorrect didn't like "morrowind" lol

personally, i also get lost very easily in games (and irl to be honest) but i was able to navigate morrowind without much issue. it does give you directions, just not quest markers. you gotta read and listen to what npcs tell you. the game will also usually tell you in your journal something along the lines of "go til you see [xyz], then turn right and go straight til you see [zyx]". that's how it navigates you about and it generally worked well for me. (also, online guides can help you if you get really lost. the game is older than methuselah, there's SO many guides available.)

the dialogue is so fun to explore, the characters are really fun, and the lore is absolutely delicious. the game is butt ugly by modern standards (you can mod it, if that's your style -- personally the butt ugly graphics really grew on me and quit bothering me surprisingly fast), combat is hilariously awkward and weird and honestly bad, and cliff racers exist. (you will understand my hatred of cliff racers if you play. yes, they are a negative point all on their own.)

also worth noting, you better really like to read. 99% of this game is reading. i love this part, i find it very fun, but i know it's not everyone's style.

i will always recommend morrowind, though always with the disclaimer that if you try it out and learn it just isn't for you, that's okay! the lore is cataloged online for that exact reason. :] no pressure either way.
