The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind

I know everyone is probably waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI, but sometimes it's good to go back to earlier productions. Especially since the modding community is actively working to ensure that such vintage games as The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind still look decent. This game is especially worth checking out if you want to play pacifist – but not the typical one.

Morrowind doesn't have an official path for players who want to avoid combat at all costs. This way of playing won't deliver any benefits and will even prove extremely difficult to accomplish. Nevertheless, it is not impossible, although it requires a bit of peculiar cheating. During the story campaign, there are several situations where you have to kill someone. To keep the "pacifist route", we need to use the "reflect" spell, redirecting the opponent's attack. Hey, we didn't hurt him, he hurt himself!

So if such a "fake pacifist" doesn't bother you, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind offers quite a few tools to play with. The game has a rich arsenal of spells and abilities to slip past enemies, calm them down or make them friendly to us. What's more, we can make our allies defeat someone on whom these tricks won't work! There's also the option for some characters to kill themselves, and for example, Dagoth Ur can accidentally fall into the lava if you do the right actions quick enough.
