Characters & Builds

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, character creation is a pivotal moment, allowing you to define your role in the open-world adventure. You can choose to be a nimble thief, an Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild, a stealthy assassin, or even explore life as a vampire or werewolf. Your actions shape how other characters perceive you, offering a truly interactive experience.

Upon waking from a dream, a Dunmer prisoner named Jiub asks for your name, initiating the character creation process. The game then opens up, presenting an incredibly interactive environment filled with opportunities. While the main quest focuses on the Nerevarine prophecy, the open-play style allows you to pursue any path you desire.

  • Thief: Prowl the streets, pick pockets, and fence ill-gotten treasure.
  • Mages Guild Member: Join the Mages Guild and ascend to the rank of Arch-Mage.
  • Assassin: Stalk targets in the shadows.
  • Great House Member: Become a noble member of one of the Great Houses.
  • Supernatural Beings: Explore life as a vampire or a werewolf.

The game ensures balanced gameplay, providing equal benefits and status for thief, magic user, and fighter classes, preventing any single class from having an unfair advantage.
