The developers must be given credit for striving to make this add-on something more than a collection of new skins and quests. Bloodmoon differs from its predecessors in subtle, yet significant ways which serve to make the game a new and slightly different experience. For one thing, of the three Morrowind installments, Bloodmoon strikes the best balance yet between an open ended, free form environment and a tight story line. For another, setting the expansion as a separate region rather than as a new area within the boundaries of Vvardenfell, allows for a fresh perspective on the world of Tamriel and the relations between its peoples.
